1. Issuer’s activities

1.1 – Briefly describe the issuer's history

Bradesco was founded in 1943 as a commercial Bank under the name of Banco Brasileiro de Descontos S.A. In 1948, we entered a period of intense expansion, which, by the end of the 1960s, led us to become the largest commercial bank in the private sector in Brazil. We expanded our activities across the country in the 1970s, winning Brazilian urban and rural markets.

In 1988, as provided for by the Central Bank of Brazil, the reorganization of the Company took place in the form of a Multiple Bank, with the incorporation of the real estate loans company, to operate with the Commercial and Real Estate Loan Portfolios, changing its corporate name to Bradesco S.A. – Banco Comercial e de Crédito Imobiliário, which was again changed to Banco Bradesco S.A. on January 13, 1989.

In 1989, Financiadora Bradesco S.A. Crédito, Financiamento e Investimentos changed its object and corporate name, resulting in the cancellation of the authorization to operate as a financial institution, followed by the creation of Carteira de Crédito, Financiamento e Investimentos and, in 1992, Banco Bradesco de Investimento S.A. (BBI) was incorporated by Bradesco, an occasion in which the investment portfolio was established.

We are one of the largest banks in Brazil in terms of total assets. We provide a wide range of banking, financial products and services in Brazil and abroad, for individuals and legal entities (small, medium and large enterprises). We have the widest network of branches and services in the private sector in Brazil, which allows us to cover a diverse client base. Our services and products include banking operations, such as: loan operations and collection of deposits, issuance of credit cards, insurances, capitalization, consortium, leasing, billing and payment processing, pension plans, asset management and brokerage services as well as securities brokerage.

Strategic Planning

The year 2023 was challenging, but the adjustments we made to our strategy have started to show positive effects. We expect 2024 to be a transitional year and we are aware of the need for transformation, which we are now accelerating. We started to execute what we consider to be an innovative strategic plan.

Our goal is to transform the business in an agile manner, aligning technology and people with our company culture. If we achieve this transformation, we expect it to improve our profitability. We believe in a trajectory of recovery of profitability over time, and expect that the initial effects will start to show in 2025.

We are accelerating our transformation, executing a strategic plan that starts from a deep and realistic diagnosis of everything that needs to change. The implementation of this plan will extend over the next few years. We expect to see some results in 2024, but believe that the benefits of this strategic plan will largely start from 2025 onwards.

We will continue being a full-service bank, offering a wide range of services and products, which is close to its clients. We will continue to offer physical and digital support to our clients. In addition, we will adjust our customer service to improve the experience for our clients, deliver more value to the client, and increase our efficiency.

We are looking to implement a transformative culture for an agile and large bank that is customer-centric, without losing our values. We have accelerated priority initiatives and introduced new ones. We believe that our focus on our employees agenda will enable us to implement changes that prepare us for our continuous evolution.

Our strategic plan aims to resume our historical profitability in a sustainable way over the next few years. As part of that, we will change our organizational structure, reduce hierarchical levels and while maintaining an effective internal control environment. We will have a team fully dedicated to the execution of these changes, transforming our business and accelerating the changes in our employees, culture and technology, allowing us to become more competitive in an environment of constant change.

Macroeconomic and Sectorial Policies

Considering the two most recent episodes of contraction of the global economy, the behavior of credit was quite distinct. In the period 2015-2016, the GDP growth slowdown contributed to the downturn of credit, while the increase in the basic interest rate raised the funding costs in the activity of banking intermediation. In 2020, due to the pandemic, the loan portfolio registered expansion, favored by regulatory stimulus measures – such as the reduction of the reserve requirement rate and the increase of the payroll-deductible loan limits, among other measures –, renegotiations of spread payments, increase of guarantees in loan operations, creation of subsidized lines and fall in the basic interest rate. At the same time, the bank inflows have increased, in a scenario of accumulation of savings, especially for families, due to the pandemic. In 2021, the extension of these measures, the rather gradual normalization of the funding and the reopening of the economy resulted in a significant expansion of credit. And in 2022, the monetary tightening by the Central Bank of Brazil (and the consequent increase in the cost of credit) and the effects of accelerating inflation on real income led to an increase in delinquency and consequently to tightening credit concession policies. In addition to the more moderate credit growth in 2023, the adjustments implemented from 2022 also enabled the decline in the loan delinquency level granted to individuals after the peak reached at the end of the first semester.

In 2024, the favorable economic scenario, the improvement in the delinquency ratios and the basic interest rate cutback should sustain a favorable evolution of the credit cycle. It is important to highlight that the structural vision in relation to Brazil remains constructive for the banking sector, which should continue advancing in terms of efficiency gains, in an environment of expansion of competition.

The export financing in this modality can be done in the phases of pre- or post-loading/execution of the services, and are

called Advance Payment on Forex Operations, or (AOCs), the moment in which the resources received are used in the manufacture of goods/services that are exported, or as a form of anticipating sales made in spread payments of goods/service already loaded/executed.

There are other forms of export financing, such as Export Prepayments, onlendings from BNDES-EXIM funds, Export Credit Notes and Export Credit Bills (referred to locally as NCEs and CCEs, respectively), and Export Financing Program with rate equalization – PROEX.

In the modality of incentive, the aim of the securities is to add value to the products of partner companies or even encourage the prompt payment of their clients. In these cases, the securities have terms, grace periods and amounts according to the need of the partners.

Supplementary Pension plans

We have managed individual and corporate pension plans since 1981 through our wholly-owned subsidiary Bradesco Vida e Previdência, which is now one of the leading pension plans managers in Brazil, as measured by investment portfolio and technical provision criteria, based on information published by FENAPREVI and SUSEP.

Bradesco Vida e Previdência offers and manages a range of individual and group pension plans. Our largest individual plans in terms of contributions known as VGBL and PGBL are exempted from paying taxes on income generated by the fund portfolio. The participants of these funds are taxed upon the redemption of quotas, and/or receipt of benefits.

As of December 31, 2023, Bradesco Vida e Previdência accounted for 23.0% of the supplementary pension plans in terms of contributions, according to SUSEP, in 2023. On December 31, 2023, Bradesco Vida e Previdência accounted for 21.8% of assets under management: 20.9% of VGBL, 20.6% of PGBL and 40.3% of traditional pension plans, according to FENAPREVI, in 2023.

Brazilian law currently permits the existence of both “open” and “closed” private pension entities. Open private pension entities are those available to all individuals and legal entities wishing to join a benefit plan by making regular contributions. Closed supplementary pension plan entities are those available to discrete groups of people such as employees of a specific company or a group of companies in the same sector, professionals in the same field, or members of a union. Private pension entities grant benefits on the basis of periodic contributions from their members, or their employers, or both.

As of December 31, 2023, we managed open supplementary pension plans covering 2.9 million participants, with a total balance of R$304 billion in collateral assets.

Under VGBL and PGBL plans rules, participants are allowed to make contributions either in installments or in lump-sum payments. Participants in pension plans may deduct the amounts contributed to PGBL up to 12.0% of the participant’s taxable income when making their annual tax declaration. At the time of redemption and/or when benefits are paid out, taxes will be levied on the income accrued, pursuant to current legislation, in relation to the total redeemed/received as benefit. VGBL plan participants may not deduct their contributions when declaring income tax. At the time of redemption and/or when benefits are paid out, taxes will be levied on the income accrued, pursuant to current legislation.

These plans can be contracted either individually as well as in business plans. Individual plans represent 55.1% and business plans 44.9% of the total number of participants. The business plans account for 14.7% and Individual for 85.3% of the technical provisions.

The plans being commercialized allow contribution, portability, redemption and conversion into income.

Bradesco Vida e Previdência also offers pension plans for corporate clients that are in most cases negotiated and adapted to the specific needs of this type of client.

Bradesco Vida e Previdência earns revenues primarily from:

·

supplementary pension plan contributions, PGBL and VGBL, life insurance and personal accidents premiums;

·

revenues from management fees charged to pension plan participants in accordance with mathematical provisions; and

·

interest income.

In 2023, digital channels represented over 98% of the transactions performed at Bradesco, highlighting the mobile and internet banking, which represented 94% of this total.

Below is a brief description of each digital channel:

Mobile App – at the end of December 2023, we have 25.9 million active natural person clients (accounts who carried out transactions in the last three months). Comparing against December 2021, this number total an increase of 4.2 million clients in the channel. We believe in the consolidation and continuous growth of mobile channel in the coming years.

Currently, we have a broad and diversified set of solutions. Available for iOS and Android systems, this channel is used by clients to make payments, transfers, purchase loans, consortia, carry out foreign exchange operations, access non-financial benefits, among other services.

In 2023, individuals and legal entity clients made 20.5 billion transactions by mobile phone.

BIA – the proximity to the client is increasingly relevant, as well as the customization of the service. Thinking about continuing the customer experience, we invest in research and technologies that also include pioneering solutions. This is the case of BIA, Bradesco’s artificial intelligence launched in 2016. Initially established for branch employees throughout Brazil, BIA matured until it began to interact with clients through the Bradesco app and through other channels. The evolutions continue and BIA becomes increasingly a customer concierge, acting in a resolute and agile way.

BIA presents itself as one of the main channels of relationship with clients and non-clients. Present in Bradesco’s digital channels and on the WhatsApp messaging app, BIA ensures mobility and helps clients

digitally wherever they are. Among its features in the messaging app, for example, BIA interacts with the client in cases of suspected credit card and Pix fraud. On the Bradesco app, clients can also make transfers between Bradesco accounts by voice or text, in addition to clarifying doubts about the bank’s products and services.

Inspired by the movement “Hey, update my voice”, of UNESCO, we changed the answers of BIA so that she can react fairly and firmly against harassment. We will continue to make investments focused on its evolution, expanding her skills with resources that help clients organize their financial flow and improve her communication capacity to provide an increasingly intuitive and intelligent experience.

Internet – We were the first financial institution in Brazil to have an e-mail address on the Internet, beginning in 1996. We provide individuals clients access to financial services on Bradesco Internet Banking, a solution that has transformed the relationship between clients and the financial market, and that continues to be an important source of information and transactions.

With the 27th anniversary on March 31, 2023, Bradesco Internet Banking continues to evolve. With its own domain (banco.bradesco), the Organization is one of the few Brazilian companies to have a top-level domain or generic top-level domains (gTLDs) – an initiative of the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the body responsible for internet protocols, which regulates the addresses on the worldwide web.

This communication platform is divided into two main pillars, which are:

·

Bradesco Institutional Website (banco.bradesco): with simplified content and plain language, offers to Individual clients access to information and clarifications on various financial products and services, with the support of tutorials in videos that facilitate the understanding, in addition to the features that help in the client’s day-to-day activities, like issuing the copy of the bank payment slip. Also available on the homepage of the portal, the online purchase of products of the Organization and of partners, such as cards, consortium, Losango, Cielo, among others, also serving clients who do not have a checking account.

·

Bradesco Internet Banking for Financial Services: with more than 500 services and products available, individual clients can use the channel to check statements, make payments, transfers, Pix, investments and much more.

The new visual concept of the channel is more modern and technological, presenting facilities, such as customizing the distribution of services on the homepage according to each client’s preference. In addition, it has relevant information of the investment portfolio, with the possibility of customized tips and viewing of credit card limits and real-time purchases, and gives the client even more autonomy using the transaction limit manager.

On Bradesco Net Empresa, the corporate client can make queries, transfers, Pix, investments, file submission, among other transactions, all in a simple and secure manner. We also emphasize that the MEI Digital Platform delivers to the individual micro-entrepreneurs, financial and non-financial services by means of partners that meet their main needs.

In 2023, the individual and legal entity clients made 4.8 billion transactions using Bradesco Internet Banking.

ATM – Focused on innovation, evolution and availability, the ATM machines are available to facilitate the daily lives of our clients, offering them capillarity and intuitive journeys.

Currently there are over 43 thousand active machines, distributed among Bradesco’s Own Network (19,582) and Shared Network – Banco24Horas (24,186). All of our machines are equipped with biometric reading, bringing more security and convenience for cardless transactions.

Our machine park also has recycling machines, to increase efficiency and reduce costs, due to not requiring the use of envelopes. Currently, there are 8,520 machines that recycle bank notes, which enables the cash deposit with immediate credit in the account of the beneficiary. The functions of the channel also contribute towards sustainability as well as sending the receipts by email. Since 2022, the cash deposit without the envelope was also enabled on the 3,635 recycling machines of the Banco24Horas.

Thinking of the experience of our clients, we also have disruptive functions, like the purchase of dollars and euros (with more than 115 machines) - foreign exchange of 2 currencies in a single machine - with representative participations in the Forex operations. In 2021, we also implanted the Virtual Safe, in which the client has autonomy to purchase a foreign currency by the Bradesco App and retrieve them in the BDNs.

In addition, since 2020, the proxies have had more autonomy in individual client transactions, with the possibility of access to the self-service machines, where they can conduct transactions intuitively and securely by biometric registration and a PIN number with 6 exclusive digits. The project won the Prêmio Smart2023 award.

Telephone services – Fone Fácil (Contact Center) – We allow clients to bank by telephone, which can be accessed by choosing an electronic service or personalized service.

In the electronic service, we provide a sophisticated service system powered by voice command, which provides clients the experience of doing what they want to do through simple voice commands, without the need for listening to various service options and having to choose them by typing the option on the telephone. The client can request the desired service and proceed directly to its execution, choosing the preferred option.

Through this channel, we offer our main financial services, such as payments, transfers between Bradesco accounts, TED, investments, loan contracting, among others.

By calling Fone Fácil, clients can access other relationship centers, such as for credit cards, private pension plans, capitalization and support for internet banking and mobile, among others.

Social networks – we are innovators and pioneers in social networks, operating in them since 2009 and becoming a market reference. The focus is on communication, relationship, content creation and business activation. The Social Networks team monitors, analyzes and interacts with people who seek us or mention our brand, relying on the participation of segments, managers and branches to resolve demands. This work strengthens the relationship with people and protects the Organization. The team is also responsible for answering doubts, complaints, suggestions and conducting relationship interactions with the user.

ii) competitive conditions in markets

As of September 30, 2023, state-owned financial institutions held 34.0% of the National Financial System’s (SFN) assets, followed by domestic private financial institutions (taking into consideration financial conglomerates) with a 49.9% share and foreign-controlled financial institutions, with a 16.1% share.

Public-sector financial institutions play an important role in the banking sector in Brazil. Essentially, they operate within the same legal and regulatory framework as private-sector financial institutions, except that certain banking transactions involving public entities must be made exclusively through public-sector financial institutions (including, but not limited to, depositing federal government funds or judicial deposits).

We highlight below some rules that may impact competitiveness, due to some regulatory requirements:

Through Circular No. 3,590/12, as amended, transfers of corporate control, takeovers, mergers, transfers of business, contracts with a view to cooperation in the financial sector, acquisitions of holdings greater than or equal to 5% and acquisitions that result in the purchaser having a stake increase interest equal to or higher than 5% in cases in which the investor holds 5% or more of the voting capital, directly or indirectly involving financial institutions must be submitted to the Central Bank of Brazil.

Through CMN Resolution No. 4,970/21, as amended, the CMN set out and procedures for authorization related to the operations of financial institutions and other entities authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil.

In short, it includes institutions, in the scope of application of CMN Resolution No. 4,970/21, such as (i) development banks; (ii) foreign exchange banks; (iii) development banks; (iv) investment banks; (v) multiple banks; (vi) foreign exchange brokers; (vii) securities and exchange brokers and real estate agencies; (viii) securities and exchange distribution companies; and (ix) loan companies between private individuals. In addition, on August 30, 2022, the Central Bank of Brazil issued Normative Instruction No. 299/22, as amended, which discloses procedures, documents, terms and information necessary for the instruction of authorization requests related to the operation of the institutions covered by CMN Resolution No. 4,970/21.

Through Resolution No. 5,050/22, as amended, CMN regulated credit fintechs, providing for the establishment and operation of the Direct Loan Companies (SCD) and Interpersonal Loan Companies (SEP), regulating loans and financing between people using electronic platforms. In summary, SCD and SEP have to be constituted in the form of joint stock companies and may meet less stringent criteria than those of other financial institutions to obtain authorization. However, the SCD can only perform loans and financing using their own resources or by obtaining resources in repo operations and loans originating from the BNDES, while the SEP cannot make use of operations with its own resources, acting as an intermediary between creditors and debtors, and providing other services established in the Resolution.

In 2019, the CMN created rules for the Credit Society for Microentrepreneurs and Small Business (SCMEPP), through Resolution No. 4,721/19, as amended, which provides for the constitution, authorization for operation, corporate restructuring and cancellation of authorization for operation. The SCMEPP has the role of granting funding to individuals, microenterprises and small businesses based on the viability of their projects. The SCMEPP cannot raise money from the public, nor can it issue bonds and securities to place bids and public offerings.

In these circumstances, the fintechs that are already expanding in the Brazilian markets may act in a regulated manner and independently from a financial institution already constituted, as an SCD or SEP. The process of obtaining authorization for the operation of the SCD, SEP and SCMEPP has fewer requirements than those of a multiple bank; in contrast, these entities have a more limited scope of action.

In June 2020, the CMN enacted Resolution No. 4,822/20, regulating the joint-guarantee society and the counter-guarantee society, provisioning on the constitution, organization and functioning of these societies, introduced by Complementary Law No. 169/19. The joint-guarantee society has as its main objective the granting of guarantees in favor of its participating members in the context of loans contracted by them, and counter-guarantee societies, in turn, is aimed at granting the counter-guarantee to joint-guarantee societies.

Subsequently, in November 2022, the CMN issued Resolutions No. 5,046/22, No. 5,047/22, No. 5,050/22 and No. 5,051/22, which provision, respectively, on the Organization and operation (i) of investment banks, (ii) of development banks, (iii) of direct credit companies (SCD and peer-to-peer lending (SEP in Portuguese), (iv) as well as credit unions.

Through Resolution No. 5,050/22, which revoked Resolution No. 4,792/20 and Resolution No. 4,656/18, the CMN began to provision on the Organization and operation of a direct credit company and a peer-to-peer lending company and regulate the execution of loan and financing operations between peers through an electronic platform.

Open Finance

Open Finance is seen as one of the ways of fostering innovation and competition. The implementation of its regulatory was instituted by Joint Resolution No. 01/20, enacted by the Central Bank of Brazil and the National Monetary Council, with the aim to stimulate innovation, promote competition, increase the efficiency of the National Financial System and Brazilian Payment System and promote financial citizenship. For this purpose, it establishes that standards of systemic integration between participant institutions must be adopted.

Institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil assume the following roles as participants in Open Finance:

a)

transmitting the data;

b)

receiving the data;

c)

holding a demand, savings deposit account or prepaid payment account;

d)

initiating the payment transaction; and

e)

having a digital correspondent contract in Brazil.

Due to our importance in the National Financial System and the characteristics of its activities, it is mandatory to implement Open Finance as a participant in securities “a”, “c” and “e”. Despite being optional, we will participate in the other securities considering business opportunities with data receiver and payment initiator.

The implementation of Open Finance in Brazil consists of four stages, according to the schedule established by the Central Bank of Brazil and highlighted below:

•

Stage 1: as of February 2021 – implementation of the necessary requirements for publishing institution data on service channels and products and services related to demand and savings deposit accounts, prepaid and postpaid accounts and loan operations;

•

Stage 2: as of August 2021 – for the sharing of client's registration data and transactional information from bank accounts (deposit, savings, and payment), as well as credit card and loan operations;

•

Stage 3: as of October 2021 – implementation of the necessary requirements for sharing payment transaction initiation services and forwarding of a loan operation proposal;

•

Stage 4: since of April 2023 – implementation of the requirements needed for the data sharing on products and services and transaction data, as foreign exchange transactions, investments, insurance and private pension plan, in addition to transactional information related to these products and services by clients.

Our Open Finance Squad has highly qualified professionals at Bradesco, focused on developing the best solutions regarding new financial system, inserted in multi-functional groups, the Bradesco Squads work with an agile mindset and exercise an end-to-end vision in creating intuitive and personalized journeys to achieve increasingly positive results.

Deposits

The deposit market is highly concentrated, with our main competitors being Itaú Unibanco, Caixa Econômica Federal, Banco do Brasil and Santander. The five largest institutions hold 67.6% of deposits in the Brazilian markets. Reference: September 2023.

Loans and advances

Competition in loans and advances has been increasing in recent years. Our main competitors are Itaú Unibanco, Banco do Brasil and Santander Brasil.

Credit cards

The credit card market in Brazil is highly competitive. Our primary competitors in the market are the major banks. However, digital banks have increased their importance in the Brazilian markets. Management believes that the primary competitive factors in this area are card distribution channels, both physical and digital ones, the services and benefits offered, in addition to better user experience for the cardholder client.

Consortia

In December 2023, according to the Central Bank of Brazil, the consortia market included 136 administrators, divided between the bank, manufacturer and independent administrators.

Our main competitors are Banco de Brasil and Porto Seguro in the real estate segment; Banco do Brasil and Itaú in the property segment.

One of our competitive advantages is the credibility of the Bradesco brand, our amount of monthly contemplations, which reinforces the ability to manage the groups and resources of the consortium clients, and our extensive distribution network, with the largest service network throughout Brazil.

Investment Bank

The investment bank market in Brazil is very competitive, involving the participation of national and international financial institutions. Among the main players are Itaú BBA, BTG Pactual, Santander and other national and international institutions. Bradesco BBI has nonetheless achieved significant success in this market, obtaining recognition from renowned international agencies that follow the sector globally.

Leasing

In general, our main competitors in the Brazilian leasing market are Santander Leasing, Banco IBM, HP Financial Service and Daycoval Leasing. We currently enjoy certain competitive advantages, as we have a larger service network than any of our private sector competitors.

Asset management

On December 31, 2023, the asset management industry in Brazil managed funds worth R$8.3 trillion in shareholders’ equity according to ANBIMA’s investment funds management ranking. Bradesco Asset held a portion of R$659.2 billion or 7.9% of market share. We are one of the leading institutions as measured by the number of investment fund quotaholders with 3.2 million. Our main competitors are BB DTVM and Itaú Unibanco.

Insurance, pension plans and capitalization bonds

Insurance sector

According to SUSEP/ANS, in 2023, we were market share leader of the Brazilian insurance market. Grupo Bradesco Seguros faces growing competition from several domestic and multinational companies in all branches of this sector, which has changed in Brazil in recent years. In this respect, the main competitive factors are price, financial stability, and recognition of the name and services provided by companies. With respect to services, competition primarily involves the ability to serve the branches that market such services, including the claims handling, automation level, and development of long-term customer relationship.

Our principal competitors are SulAmérica, Porto Seguro, BB Seguridade, HDI and Tokio, which account for a combined total of 36.7% of all premiums generated in the market, as reported by SUSEP/ANS in 2023.

We believe that the penetration of our service network, present in all municipalities in Brazil, gives Grupo Bradesco Seguros a significant competitive edge over most insurance companies, thereby promoting cost savings and marketing synergies.

Regarding the healthcare sector, although most insurance activities are carried out by companies with nationwide operations, there is also competition from companies that operate locally or regionally.

Supplementary pension plan sector

The Brazilian government’s monetary stabilization policies stimulated the supplementary pension plan sector and attracted new international players.

Bradesco Vida e Previdência’s main competitive advantages are the “Bradesco” brand, our extensive branch network, our strategy and our record of being in the forefront of product innovation.

Our main competitors are BrasilPrev, Caixa Seguridade, Itaú Seguridade, Zurich/Santander, Icatu and XP Previdência.

Capitalization bonds sector

Our competitive strengths in this sector include our offering of low-cost products with a higher number of prize drawings, security, financial stability, and brand recognition.

Our main competitors are BrasilCap, Santander, Cia. Itaú de Capitalização, Icatu, Caixa Seguridade and Capemisa, which together represent 63.4% of the total capitalization revenue generated in the market, according to information provided by SUSEP in 2023.

d)

Seasonality

We generally have some seasonality in certain parts of our business. There is certain seasonality in our consumer financing business (including our credit card business, financing of goods and others), with increased levels of credit card transactions and financing of goods at the end of the year and a subsequent decrease of these levels at the beginning of the year. We also have certain seasonality in our fee collections at the beginning of the year, which is when taxes and other fiscal contributions are generally paid in Brazil. For our PGBL and VGBL business, seasonality happens at the end of the year, when the 13th salary and profit-sharing distributions are usually paid.

e)

Main raw materials, stating:

i) Description of relationships with suppliers, including whether they are subject to governmental control or regulation, with agencies and applicable legislation:

Bradesco hires suppliers and establishes business relationships with partners that operate with ethical standards that are compatible with the Organization, through a rigorous homologation process for subsequent selection and does not negotiate with those who, verifiably, disrespect the provision of its Code of Ethical Conduct, and also guides its business relationship by the Sectorial Code of Ethical Conduct for the Purchasing Professional.

Additionally, in the Organization's Contracts, the supplier declares to be aware of the provisions of the Bradesco Organization's Code of Ethical Conduct, the Bradesco Organization's Sectorial Code of Ethical Conduct for Purchasing Professionals, the Corporate Information Security Policy and the Bradesco Integrity Program, and all Policies, Codes and Standards, available at www.bradescofornecedores.com.br, which the supplier undertakes to make known to its employees, agents and employees and agents of its subcontractors, as applicable.

ii) Any dependence on a small number of suppliers:

Banco Bradesco has a broad base of suppliers and encourages the constant search and use of new companies for approval and competition processes. However, for some specific situations, the Bank is dependent on suppliers to carry out its activities. For these situations, there is monitoring carried out by the Specialist Areas, through the Organization's Business Continuity Plan (PCN).

For any situations in which there is a shortage of suppliers, either due to their limited supply in the market as a whole and/or in the region in question, in addition to ensuring the robustness of our processes, with regard to Risk Governance, we place great value on to an important point in this business relationship, which is to have good communication with that supplier. However, Bradesco generally opts for a diversification

of suppliers, thus avoiding creating dependence on a few suppliers to carry out its activities, in addition to work aimed at developing new suppliers.

iii) Possible volatility affecting its prices:

The prices volatility, as resources for loans, interest rates charged on products, among other things, rely on macroeconomic conditions and market rates.

If there is an expected inflation growth rate, the Central Bank of Brazil may increase the base interest rate, increasing, consequently, interest rates for loans. Another factor that can enhance loans is the increase in the delinquency rate for clients. Moreover, variations in tax rates on loans also make these operations more expensive.

 

1.5 – Clients responsible for more than 10% of the total net revenue

Bradesco has no clients that are responsible for more than 10% of the total net revenue of the institution.

 

1.6 – Relevant effects of the state regulation of activities

a)

need for governmental authorization for the exercise of activities and history of relation with the public administration in order to obtain such authorizations

The basic institutional framework of the Brazilian Financial System was established in 1964 by Law No. 4,595/64, known as the “Banking Reform Law”. The Banking Reform Law dealt with monetary, banking and credit policies and institutions, and created the CMN.

Principal regulatory agencies

CMN

CMN is responsible for overall supervision of monetary, credit, budgetary, fiscal and public debt policies. CMN has the following functions:

·           regulating loans and advances granted by Brazilian financial institutions;

·           regulating Brazilian currency issue;

·           supervising Brazil’s reserves of gold and foreign exchange;

·           determining saving, foreign exchange and investment policies in Brazil; and

·           regulating capital markets in Brazil.

Within its functions, the CMN provides, through Resolution No. 3,427/06, as amended, the adoption by the CVM of the risk-based supervision model as general guidance for its activities, on which the Risk Based Supervision System (SBR) was created. The SBR is also regulated by CVM Resolution No. 53/21, which sets its objectives.

Central Bank of Brazil

The Central Bank of Brazil was created by Law No. 4,595/64 and is the primary executor of the guidelines of the CMN, responsible for ensuring the purchasing power of the national currency, including responsibility for:

·

implementing currency and credit policies established by the CMN;

·

regulating and supervising public and private sector Brazilian financial institutions;

·

controlling and monitoring the flow of foreign currency to and from Brazil; and

·

overseeing the Brazilian financial markets.

The Central Bank of Brazil supervises financial institutions by:

·

setting minimum capital requirements, compulsory deposit requirements and operational limits;

·

authorizing corporate documents, capital increases, acquisition of interest in new companies and the establishment or transfer of principal places of business or branches (in Brazil or abroad);

·

authorizing changes in shareholder control of financial institutions;

·

requiring the submission of annual and semiannual audited financial statements, quarterly revised financial statements and monthly unaudited financial information; and

·

requiring full disclosure of loans and advances and foreign exchange transactions, import and export transactions and other directly related economic activities.

Through Complementary Law No. 179/21, the Central Bank of Brazil ensured its autonomy. Thus, it conferred greater freedom to the Central Bank of Brazil in the use of monetary instruments for the fulfillment of goals established by the CMN. Through this law, price stability was defined as the primary objective of the Central Bank of Brazil, in addition to ensuring the stability and efficiency of the financial system, smoothing out economic activity level fluctuations and promoting full employment. The Central Bank of Brazil is considered an autarchy of a special nature, characterized by the absence of any ties to a ministry.

CVM

The CVM is a local entity, linked to the Ministry of Finance, with its own legal personality and its own capital, independent administrative authority, absence of hierarchical subordination, fixed mandate, stability of its managers, and financial and budgetary autonomy. It was created on December 7, 1976 by Law No. 6,385/76 with the objective of overseeing, standardizing, regulating and developing the Brazilian securities markets in accordance with securities and capital-market policies established by CMN.

The main objectives of the CVM are:

·

to ensure the integrity of the capital markets;

·

to boost the efficiency of the capital markets;

·

to regulate on issues provided for by law;

·

to monitor compliance with the legislation applicable to agents working in the capital market; and

·

to promote the development of the capital markets.

The main focus of the CVM in overseeing and regulating the Brazilian capital markets is:

·

to promote a culture of investment in the Brazilian capital markets;

·

to increase the participation in the capital market as a competitive source of financing;

·

to reduce the costs of observance of market participants;

·

to increase the liquidity of markets;

·

to improve the efficiency of supervision of the market; and

·

to increase the efficiency of the sanctioning action.

Banking regulations

Principal limitations and restrictions on activities of financial institutions

Under applicable laws and regulations, a financial institution operating in Brazil:

·

may not operate without the prior approval of the Central Bank of Brazil. In the case of foreign banks, approval of the Central Bank of Brazil, pursuant to Decree No. 10,029/19, may be granted where it is considered to be in the national interest to do so. Through Circular No. 3,977/20, it is recognized as of interest to the Brazilian government to allow the participation, in the capital of financial institutions based in Brazil, of individuals or legal entities residing or domiciled abroad;

·

may not invest in the equity of any other company beyond regulatory limits;

·

may not conduct credit and leasing transactions or provide guarantees of more than 25.0% of its reference equity (RE) to a single person or group;

·

may not own real estate, except for its own use; and

·

according to Law No. 4,595/64 and CMN Resolution No. 4,693/18, financial institutions are prohibited from conducting loans with related parties. Exempted from the prohibition are loans with related parties that comply with the conditions stipulated by Law No. 4,595/64. CMN Resolution No. 4,693/18 explains who are considered related parties, from the point of view of the Central Bank of Brazil.

·

CMN Resolution No. 4,693/18 also brought a definition of qualified shareholding, which is considered a direct or indirect stake, owned by individuals or companies in the capital of financial institutions and of leasing companies or of these institutions in the capital of companies, equivalent to 15% or more of the respective shares or quotas representing the share capital. The restrictions with respect to the concentration limit to a single person or group do not apply to interbank deposits entered into by financial institutions subject to the consolidation of their financial statements.

·

On September 26, 2022, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 246/22, establishing maximum limits for the exchange rate fee and prohibiting the establishment of different maximum deadlines for the provision of resources for the receiving end user in the domestic payment arrangements, purchase arrangements, and prepaid payment and deposit accounts. According to the Resolution, it was established, as of April 1, 2023, that the maximum limits for the exchange rate shall respect the following percentage: (a) 0.5%, to be applied in any transaction, in the arrangements classified as deposit accounts; and (b) 0.7%, to be applied in any transaction, in the arrangements classified as prepaid payment accounts.

·

On March 28, 2023, the Plenary of the National Council of Social Security issued Resolution CNPS/MPS No. 1,351/23, which established that the INSS should set the maximum interest ceiling per month for payroll loan operations granted for social security benefit at 1.97% and, for transactions carried out by credit card and payroll-deductible loan benefit card, at 2.89%.

Punitive instruments applicable to Financial Institutions

Law No. 13,506/17 and the BCB Resolution No. 131/21, as amended, regulate the administrative sanctioning process in the sphere of activity of the Central Bank of Brazil and CVM and, significantly amended the punitive instruments in the context of banking supervision, of the capital market, of the Brazilian Payment System, Payment Institutions and Consortium.

Capital adequacy and leverage

Financial institutions based in Brazil are subject to capital measurement and standards based on a weighted risk-asset ratio, according to CMN Resolutions No. 4,958/21 and No. 4,955/21, as amended. The parameters of this methodology resemble the international framework for minimum capital measurements adopted for the Basel Accord.

In accordance with Basel III recommendations, Circular No. 3,748/15, and CMN Resolution No. 4,615/17, provide for the minimum requirement for the Leverage Ratio (LR) as a supplementary capital measure. It is a ratio that acts to limit the level of exposure to risk assumed by financial institutions and evaluates the leverage through its relation between Tier I Capital and the Total Exposure, calculated through the sum of assets registered in accounting values, added to off-balance exposures (limits, endorsements, guarantees and derivatives), as detailed in the circular. The relevant institutions classified in Segment 1 (S1) and Segment 2 (S2), must comply with the minimum requirement for LR of 3%.

In order to establish minimum quantitative requirements for the liquidity of financial institutions and limit excessive liquidity risk taking, Basel III introduced two liquidity indices: The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).

BCB Resolution No. 207/22, as amended, regulates the preparation and remittance, by financial institutions of information related to (i) the indicator of Short-Term Liquidity (LCR); and (ii) exposure to liquidity risk, which must be kept at the disposal of the Central Bank of Brazil, for a minimum period of five years, together with the documentation of the methodology for its calculation and the respective original data.

According to CMN Resolution No. 4,950/21, financial institutions must keep consolidated accounting records (for calculating their capital requirements) of their investments in companies whenever they hold, directly or indirectly, individually or together with partners, a controlling interest in the investee companies. If their interest does not result in control of a company, financial institutions may choose to recognize the interest as equity in the earnings of unconsolidated companies instead of consolidating such interests.

Under certain conditions and within certain limits, financial institutions may include eligible instruments when determining their capital requirements in order to calculate their operational limits, provided that this instrument complies with the requirements of the regulation in force.

Risk Weighting

Pursuant to BCB Resolution No. 229/22, as amended, the Central Bank of Brazil consolidated the risk-weighted assets (RWA) applied to different exposures in order to calculate capital requirements through a standardized approach (RWAcpad). Risk-weight factors applicable to different exposures are often changed by the Central Bank of Brazil. Subsequently, mitigation instruments were provided for the portion RWA related to the exposure to credit risk subject to the calculation of capital requirements through a RWAcpad, through Circular No. 3,809/16. A new criterion for application of the 85% Risk-weight factor (FPR), established by Circular No. 3,921/18.

In addition, there are specific standards of the Central Bank of Brazil to determine procedures to calculate the portion of risk-weighted assets related to other exposures. In March 2022, BCB Resolution No. 202/22 was edited, as amended, and now establishes the calculation of the portion of RWA related to the calculation of capital required for risks associated with payment services (RWAsp) established in CMN Resolutions No. 4,958/21 and 4,606/17 and on the BCB Resolutions No. 200/22 and 201/22, as amended.

The total consolidated exposure of a financial institution in foreign currencies, gold, and transactions subject to exchange variation limited up to 30.0% of its Reference Equity (RE), pursuant to CMN Resolution No. 4,956/21, this limit may be altered by the Central Bank of Brazil, observing the minimum value of 15% and the maximum value of 75% of the Reference Equity (RE). It should be noted that compliance with the above limit must take place in a consolidated manner for institutions that are members of the same prudential conglomerate.

Financial institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil shall inform (i) exposure in gold, foreign currency and operations subject to the exchange rate variation; (ii) RWAMint portion of the RWA amount; and (iii) the RWAMpad portion of the RWA amount and its components, daily, being available to BACEN for a period of 5 years, as established in BCB Resolution No. 100/21, as amended, which entered into force on July 1, 2021.

In November 2022, BCB Resolution No. 266/22 was edited, promoting changes in the circulars and in BCB Resolutions that establish the procedures and parameters for calculating the portions for calculating the amount of risk-weighted assets (RWA) related to credit risk, market risk and operational risk, so that they are applicable to the prudential conglomerate led by the payment institution and integrated by a financial institution or another institution authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil (Type 3 conglomerate). In addition, this resolution also amends the normative acts dealing with the calculation of the additional countercyclical principal capital (ACPContraciclico) and the risk of variation in interest rates in instruments classified in the bank portfolio (IRRBB), so that they are applicable to the Type 3 conglomerate.

In addition, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 229/22, as amended, which establishes the procedures for calculating the RWA portion of credit risk exposures subject to the calculation

of the capital requirement by means of a standardized approach (RWAcpad), that deal with CMN Resolution No. 4,958/21, of October 2021, and BCB Resolution No. 200/22, of March 2022, as amended.

BCB Resolution No. 229/22 aims to improve two main points, which are: (i) methods of measuring the value of exposures, also admitting the use of a method of calculating the mark-to-market value for a specific asset class. This methodology can be used even if the Accounting Standard of the institutions regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil (Cosif) does not provide on this; and (ii) Risk Weighting Factors (FPR), especially on exposures to sovereign entities and multilateral bodies (EMD), financial institutions, non-financial, retail, and real estate legal entities.

In August 2022, the Central Bank of Brazil launched Public Inquiry Notice No. 92/22, which discloses the motion for a resolution that improves the procedures for calculating the capital requirement for credit risk exposures through internal credit risk classification systems.

In February 2023, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 291/23, which establishes the procedures for calculating the portion of the RWA regarding exposures to the risk of variation in the value of derivative instruments due to the variation in the credit quality of the counterpart (RWACVA), as well as amending Circular No. 3,646/13.

Compulsory Deposits

The Central Bank of Brazil periodically sets compulsory deposit and related requirements for financial institutions based in Brazil. The Central Bank of Brazil uses reserve requirements as a mechanism to control liquidity in the SFN.

According to the Central Bank of Brazil’s rules, we must place a percentage of the demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits we receive from our clients with the Central Bank of Brazil:

·

Time deposits: we are obliged to deposit 20.0% of the arithmetic mean of the Value Subject to Collection (VSR) established on the working days of the calculation period, deducted from R$30 million, in accordance with BCB Resolution No. 145/21.

Time deposits are represented by bank deposit certificates (CDBs) and notes (exempted); and pay either a fixed or a floating rate, which is typically a percentage of the interbank interest rate (CDI), as disclosed by COPOM.

·

Demand deposits: we are required to deposit 21.0% of the arithmetic mean of the Value Subject to Collection (VSR), on each working day, determined in the calculation period, deducting R$500 million, pursuant to the provisions of BCB Resolution No. 189/22, as amended. The verification of compliance with these requirements is made on the basis of established positions on each day of the period of transactions and the calculation period begins on Monday of one week and ends on Friday of the following week.

·

Savings deposits: each week we are required to deposit in an account with the Central Bank of Brazil an amount equivalent to 20.0% of the arithmetic average of the sum of the balances entered under the headings of Savings Deposits and Resources of Associated Savers, according to BCB Resolution No. 188/22, as amended, which that defines and consolidates the rules of compulsory collection on savings deposit resources. The balance of the account is remunerated by the “TR” plus interest, as detailed in the same resolution.

In February 2013, the Central Bank of Brazil defined rules for financial cost collection on non-compliance with compulsory deposit, reserve or compulsory assignment requirements. The financial cost charged to institutions that failed to comply with these requirements was adjusted to the SELIC rate plus 4.0% p.a.

In February 2022, BCB Resolution No. 188/22 was edited, which defines and consolidates the rules of compulsory collection on savings deposit resources. In the same month in 2022, BCB Resolution No. 190/22 was issued, as amended, which extinguishes the enforceability regarding the compulsory collection of deposit resources and guarantees made.

Additionally, present Central Bank of Brazil regulations require that we:

·

allocate a minimum of 30.0% of demand deposits to providing rural loans;

·

we maintain investments in targeted productive microcredit program operations, of at least 2.0% of demand deposits; and

·

allocate a minimum of 65.0% of the total amount of deposits in savings accounts to finance residential real estate.

Standards on compulsory deposits and additional reserve requirements are periodically altered by the Central Bank of Brazil.

Asset composition requirements

According to CMN Resolution No. 4,677/18, as amended, financial institutions headquartered in Brazil must limit their exposure to a single client to a maximum amount of 25.0% of Tier 1 of its RE, or 15% of Tier 1 of its RE if the institution is listed as systemically important in the global scope by the Financial Stability Board.

BCB Resolution No. 76/21 regulates on instruments of operation of the Central Bank of Brazil in the Brazilian foreign exchange market for the purposes of implementing the exchange rate policy, establishing that the terms of the repo operations for the purchase of foreign currency with a commitment to resell and sell foreign currency with a commitment to repurchase, correspond to the period comprised between the date of liquidation of the purchase or sale operation, inclusive, and the respective date of liquidation of the resale or repurchase commitment, exclusive.

Repurchase transactions

Repurchase transactions are subject to operational capital limits based on the financial institution’s equity, as adjusted in accordance with Central Bank of Brazil regulations. A financial institution may only hold repurchase transactions in an amount up to 30 times its RE. Within that limit, repurchase transactions involving private securities may not exceed five times the amount of the financial institution’s RE. Limits on repurchase transactions involving securities issued by Brazilian governmental authorities vary in accordance with the type of security involved in the transaction and the perceived risk of the issuer as established by the Central Bank of Brazil.

In September 2016, the Central Bank of Brazil prohibited the execution, extension or renewal of repurchase transactions with securities issued or accepted from associated institutions, or institutions that are members of the same prudential conglomerate.

Subsequently, in September 2021, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 76/21, which provisions on the instruments of operation of the Central Bank of Brazil in the Brazilian exchange market for the purpose of implementing the foreign exchange policy. This Resolution provisions that the Central Bank of Brazil may perform, among others, the following operations in the Brazilian foreign exchange market: (i) purchase of foreign currency with resale commitment, in conjunction with a repurchase commitment, made by the counterpart, for settlement on a pre-established date; and (ii) sale of foreign currency with a repurchase commitment, in conjunction with a resale commitment, made by the counterpart, for settlement on a pre-established date.

Onlending of funds borrowed abroad

Financial institutions and leasing companies are permitted to borrow foreign currency-denominated funds in the international markets (through direct loans or the issuance of debt securities) in order to on-lend such funds in Brazil. These onlendings take the form of loans denominated in reais but indexed to the U.S. dollar. The terms of the onlending transaction must reflect the terms of the original transaction. The interest rate charged on the underlying foreign loan must also conform to international market practices. In addition to the original cost of the transaction, the financial institution may charge onlending commission only.

Furthermore, the amount of any loan in foreign currency should be limited to the sum of foreign transactions undertaken by the financial institution to which loan funds are to be directed.

Foreign currency position

Operations in Brazil involving the sale and purchase of foreign currency may be conducted only by institutions authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil to operate in the foreign exchange market.

Beginning in 1999, the Central Bank of Brazil adopted a foreign exchange free float system, which gave rise to increased volatility. Since mid-2011, the Brazilian real has depreciated against the U.S. dollar and the Central Bank of Brazil has intervened in the foreign exchange market to control the foreign rate volatility.

The Central Bank of Brazil does not impose limits on long positions in foreign exchange operations and short positions in foreign exchange operations for banks authorized to operate in the foreign exchange market.

Standards that address foreign exchange markets are frequently changed by CMN and the Central Bank of Brazil.

In December 2022, Law No. 14,286/21 entered into force, which deals with the Brazilian exchange market, the Brazilian capital abroad, the foreign capital in the country and the provision of information to the Central Bank of Brazil with the aim of modernizing, simplifying and bringing greater legal certainty regarding such matters, considering the best international standards and practices, as well as the insertion of Brazil in the globalized economy. In view of this, CMN published CMN Resolutions No. 5,042/22 and No. 5,056/22, as well as the Central Bank of Brazil published BCB Resolutions No. 277/22, No. 278/22, No. 279/22, No. 280/22 and No. 281/22, aiming to regulate foreign exchange operations.

Contextualizing, the main changes that the new exchange rate framework presents:

·

It will be the competence of the Central Bank of Brazil to regulate foreign currency accounts in the country, including regarding the requirements and procedures for opening and operating them, the Central Bank of Brazil may expand, depending on the regulation, the possibility of individuals and legal entities being holders. The ownership of foreign currency accounts in the country is still limited to companies, such as brokers, credit card administrators and other sectors specified by the Central Bank of Brazil.

·

Opening of deposit abroad was already possible, but the project expands and reinforces this, by stating that institutions authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil will be able to allocate, invest and destine for credit and financing operations, in the country and abroad, funds raised here or abroad.

·

Extension from R$10 thousand to US$10 thousand of the limit of cash in kind that each passenger can carry when leaving or entering Brazil.

·

The negotiation of up to US$500 between Individuals is now authorized, allowing the purchase and sale of foreign currency to be made by Individuals and not only banks and brokers, provided that the operation is made occasionally and not professionally.

·

Depending on the regulation by the Central Bank of Brazil, the possibility of private compensation of credits between residents and non-residents, as well as payment in foreign currency of enforceable obligations in the national territory in situations such as foreign trade operations.

·

Inclusion of payment institutions to operate in the exchange market in ready-made settlement operations up to a limit of US$100,000.00.

·

Formalization of the foreign exchange operation with free format, however, the institution authorized to operate in the foreign exchange market should be able to prove that the parties are in mutual agreement with the established conditions.

·

The client is responsible for the classification of the purpose of the exchange operation.

·

Change in the obligation to register the foreign direct investment before the Information Delivery System of the Central Bank of Brazil (SCE-IED), should be carried out only when (i) the financial transfer related to the non-resident investor of a value equal to or greater than US$100,000.00 or its equivalent in other currencies occurs; (ii) the transactions of resources of a value equal to or greater than US$100,000.00 or its equivalent in other currencies; (iii) the base date of the periodic declarations shall occur for the recipients subject to such declarations.

·

Change in the obligation to register foreign loan operations before the Information Delivery System of the Central Bank of Brazil (SCE-Crédito): (i) direct loan, security, early receipt of exports and financial leasing with payment term of more than 360 days and financing of entities with a value equal to or greater than US$1,000,000.00 or its equivalent in other currencies; and (ii) import financing with a payment term of more than 180 days and with a value equal to or greater than US$500,000.00 or its equivalent in other currencies.

·

End of the obligation to carry out simultaneous foreign exchange operations for: (i) conversion of debt into foreign direct investment and vice versa; (ii) conversion between different types of foreign credit; (iii) assumption and resettlement of foreign credit, in the modalities of direct loan and securities; and (iv) change of residence of the resident investor to non-resident.

Registration of cross-border derivatives and hedging transactions and information on derivatives

In December 2009, the Central Bank of Brazil issued specific rules that became effective in February 2010, requiring Brazilian financial institutions to register their cross-border derivative transactions with a clearing house regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil and by the CVM. Specifically, cross-border derivative transactions must (i) be registered within two business days; and (ii) cover details of underlying assets, values, currencies involved, terms, counterparties, means of settlement and parameters used.

In January 2010, registration rules were extended to cover hedging transactions in foreign OTC markets or exchanges.

In November 2010, to facilitate the management of derivatives-related risk incurred by financial institutions, the CVM stipulated that market participants should create mechanisms in order to share information on derivatives contracts traded or registered in their systems, subject to banking confidentiality rules.

Treatment of loans and advances

For statutory reporting purposes, financial institutions are required to classify their loans and advances into nine categories, ranging from AA to H, based on their risk. These credit risk classifications are determined in accordance with Central Bank of Brazil criteria relating to:

·

the conditions of the debtor and the guarantor, such as their economic and financial situation, level of indebtedness, capacity for generating profits, cash flow, delay in payments, contingencies and credit limits; and

·

the conditions of the transaction, such as its nature and purpose, the type, the level of liquidity, the sufficiency of the collateral and the total amount of the credit.

In the case of corporate borrowers, of the nine categories that we use, according to our classification, five are considered operational and four of dubious liquidation.

The classification of operating categories follows the following concept:

Rating	Bradesco Classification	Bradesco Concept
AA	Excellent	First-tier large company or group, with a long track record, market leadership and excellent economic and financial concept and positioning.
A	Very Good	Large company or group with sound economic and financial position that is active in markets with good prospects and/or potential for expansion.
B	Good	Company or group, regardless of size, with good economic and financial positioning.
C	Acceptable	Company or group with a satisfactory economic and financial situation but with performance subject to economic variations.
D	Fair	Company or group with economic and financial positioning in decline or unsatisfactory accounting Information, under risk management.

A loan and advance transaction may be upgraded if it has credit support or downgraded if in default.

Doubtful loans are classified according to the loss perspective, as per E-H ratings as follows:

Rating	Bradesco Classification
E	Deficient
F	Bad
G	Critical
H	Uncollectible

A similar nine-category ranking system exists for transactions with individuals. We grade credit based on data including the individual’s income, equity and credit history, as well as other database, behavioral and transactional information considering both internal and market-related sources.

For regulatory purposes, financial institutions are required to classify the level of risk of their loans according to the Central Bank of Brazil’s criteria, taking into consideration both the borrower and guarantors’ characteristics and the nature and value of the transaction, among others, in order to identify potential loan losses.

Past due loans and advances must be reviewed monthly. For this type of loan, regulatory provisions set the following minimum risk classifications:

Number of Days Past Due (1)	Minimum Classification
15 to 30 days	B
31 to 60 days	C
61 to 90 days	D
91 to 120 days	E
121 to 150 days	F
151 to 180 days	G
More than 180 days	H

(1)	These time periods are doubled in the case of loans with maturities in excess of 36 months.

Financial institutions are required to determine whether any loans must be reclassified as a result of these minimum classifications. If so, they must adjust their regulated accounting provisions accordingly.

The regulations specify a minimum provision for each category of loan (BR GAAP), which is measured as a percentage of the total amount of the loan and advance operation, as follows:

Classification of Loan	Minimum Provision %
AA	-
A	0.5
B	1.0
C	3.0
D	10.0
E	30.0
F	50.0
G	70.0
H (1)	100.0

(1)     Financial institutions must write of any loan six months after its initial classification as an H loan.

Loans and advances of up to R$10,000 may be classified by the method used by the financial institution itself or the arrears criteria, described above. Classifications should be at least level A, according to the Central Bank of Brazil.

Financial institutions must make their lending and loan classification policies available to the Central Bank of Brazil and their independent accountants. They are also required to submit information relating to their loan portfolio to the Central Bank of Brazil, together with their financial statements. This information must include:

·

a breakdown of the business activities and nature of borrowers;

·

maturities of their loans; and

·

amounts of rescheduled, written-off and recovered loans.

The Central Bank of Brazil requires authorized financial institutions to compile and submit information on the portfolio of loans and advances.

Exclusivity in loans and advances to clients

As stipulated in Circular No. 3,522/11 of the Central Bank of Brazil, it is prohibited for financial institutions provide services and loans from entering into agreements, contracts or other arrangements that prevent or restrict the ability of their clients to access loans and advances offered by other institutions, including payroll-deductible loans, aiming to increase competition among credit providers and prevent exclusivity agreements between state-owned banks and government bodies with respect to payroll-deductible loans.

Debit balance of the credit card bill

Through CMN Resolution No. 4,549/17, as amended, the Central Bank of Brazil started regulating the financing of the debit balance of the credit card bill and other postpaid instruments, not settled in full at maturity, as a result, credit card administrators were no longer allowed to finance clients’ outstanding balances through revolving credit for more than a month.

CMN Resolution nº 4,882/20 stipulates that in case of a delay in the payment or settlement of obligations related to these shares, certain charges may be charged exclusively such as remunerative interest, fine; and late payment interest. It is prohibited to charge any other remuneration or arrears charges for late payment or settlement of overdue obligations related to loan operations.

Overdraft

In April 2018, the Self-Regulation Council of the FEBRABAN – Federação Brasileira de Bancos (Brazilian Federation of Banks), published Regulatory Standard No. 19/18 (Regulatory Standard on the Conscious Use of Overdraft), with new guidelines to promote and stimulate the proper use of overdraft facilities.

Among the Regulatory Standard No. 19/18 main guidelines, we highlight that: (i) financial institutions which have signed the regulatory standard shall, at any time, provide more advantageous conditions to the consumer to settle his overdraft balance, including the possibility of installment payments; (ii) if the consumer uses more than 15% of the overdraft limit available during 30 consecutive days, and as long as the value is above R$200.00, the financial institution shall proactively offer to the consumer alternatives for the settlement of the balance; and (iii) financial institutions shall promote financial guidance related to the overdraft, especially with respect to its use in emergency situations and on a temporary basis.

In November 2019, the CMN published Resolution No. 4,765/19, as amended, which provides for overdrafts granted by financial institutions for cash deposit accounts. This Resolution sets forth that the interest rates charged on the amount used are limited to 8% per month.

Brazilian Clearing System (Sistema de Pagamentos Brasileiro, or “SPB”)

The SPB was regulated and restructured under Law No. 12,865/13. These regulations are intended to streamline the system by adopting multilateral clearing and boost security and solidity by reducing systemic default risk and financial institutions’ credit and liquidity risks.

SPB comprises the entities, systems and procedures related to the processing and settlement of transactions of transfers of funds, operations with foreign currency or with financial assets and securities. The subsystems in the SPB are responsible for maintaining security mechanisms and rules for controlling risks and contingencies, loss sharing among market participants and direct execution of custody positions of contracts and collateral by participants. In addition, clearing houses and settlement service providers, as important components of the system, set aside a portion of their assets as an additional guarantee for settlement of operations.

Currently, responsibility for settlement of a transaction has been assigned to the clearinghouses or service providers responsible for it. Once a financial operation has been submitted for clearing and settlement, it generally becomes the obligation of the relevant clearinghouse and/or settlement service provider to clear and settle, and it is no longer subject to the risk of bankruptcy or insolvency on the part of the market participant that submitted it for clearing and settlement.

CMN Resolution No. 4,952/21 defines the activities of the clearing and payment (settlement) chambers and service providers under the Brazilian Payments System, in order for the SPB to be structured in accordance with principles that ensure the safety, efficiency, integrity and reliability of the clearing and payment (settlement) chambers and service providers that operate in it.

The Central Bank of Brazil and CVM have the power to regulate and supervise the SPB. The only members of the SPB are institutions of payments and payment arrangements that have high financial volumes. These volumes accumulated in the last 12 months are equivalent to R$500 million in total value of transactions and 25 million transactions, in the case of payment arrangements.

BCB Resolution No. 80/21, as amended, regulates the establishment and operation of payment institutions, establishing the parameters for authorization requests made by these institutions to operate and provide payment services by other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. BCB Resolution No. 81/21 regulates the processes of authorization related to the operation of payment institutions and to the provision of services of payment by other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil.

It is worth mentioning that, in March 2022, the Central Bank of Brazil edited BCB Resolution No. 205/22, amending BCB Resolution No. 81/22 in order to include the possibility: (i) of investment funds holding qualified participation in payment institutions; and (ii) that the provisions applicable to the individual or legal entity holding a qualified holding provided for by BCB Resolution No. 81/21 also cover the shareholders of the investment fund who are effectively authorized to conduct their operations, in addition to preventing the possibility of an investment fund being a controller, or a member of a control group, of a payment institution.

BCB Resolution nº 150/21, as amended, provides rules about the BR Code, a rapid response code standard (QR Code) to be used by the payment arrangements, which must be offered in a standardized

manner, in order to facilitate the interoperability, the internationalization and increased efficiency of retail payments.

The Pix was instituted and regulated by BCB Resolution No. 01/20, and BCB Resolution No. 79/21 enabled the implementation of features, such as the permission to associate the corporate name to the Pix token, change of details, avoiding exclusion in the case of rectification and threshold amount limiting the number of transactions that can be resent or received by end users.

BCB Resolution No. 195/22, as amended, establishes the Instant Payments Systems (SPI) and the Instant Payment Account (PI Account), approving their respective regulations. SPI came into operation on November 3, 2020, with the possibility of gradual availability of system features, including in relation to the hours of operation.

In March 2022, BCB Normative Instruction No. 243/22 was edited, which discloses procedures to be observed for direct participation in the SPI, for the opening of the Instant Payments Account (PI Account). and sets the maximum time limits for validation and settlement of instant payment orders.

Pix Cobrança, the function that consists in the possibility of the recipient user managing and receiving, in a facilitated manner, collections related to immediate payments and payments with maturity, was included in the regulation by BCB Resolution No. 30/20, in accordance with the deadlines for implementation provided for by BCB Normative Instruction No. 43/20, as amended.

The procedures necessary for accession to the PIX by institutions permitted are laid down in BCB Normative Instruction No. 291/22 and on BCB Normative Instruction No. 373/23.

BCB Normative Instruction No. 243/22, as amended, governs the procedures to be observed for direct participation in the SPI, for the opening of the Instant Payments Account (PI Account), under the same terms as the Normative Instruction revoked. In addition, this Resolution has set the maximum time limits for validation and settlement of instant payment orders, which is provisioned in the Regulation annexed to BCB Resolution No. 195/22. Furthermore, on December 9, 2022, BCB Normative Instruction No. 200/22, as amended by BCB Normative Instruction No. 290/23, which establishes the operational procedures for the collection and for the execution of the reimbursement of operational costs for each Pix for the purpose of withdrawal or exchange settled outside the SPI and establishes the format, periodicity and information to be provided by Pix participants on these transactions.

Pix participants can also establish maximum value limits for initiating a Pix, for the purpose of purchase or transfer, by transactional account, which must be per transaction and per period, with the possibility of differentiating the limit established for the day period and for the night period, according to BCB Normative Instruction No. 331/22, as amended.

In October 2021, BCB Normative Instruction No. 171/21 was edited, disclosing operational limits and terms for the scheduled and efficient entry of interfaces dedicated to sharing the initiation service of the Pix payment transaction in Open Banking.

Later, in December 2021, BCB Resolution No. 177/21 was issued, as amended, which approved the Penalty Manual for Pix, reformulating the distribution of punishable conduct and establishing penalties for participants who fail to adopt essential security mechanisms in the implementation of applications, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and any other systems related to Pix that could significantly compromise the arrangement's security or the security and privacy of user data.

On December 1, 2022, BCB Resolution No. 270/22 was edited, which amended Annex I to BCB Resolution No. 177/21 to adjust devices on penalties.

In parallel with BCB Resolution No. 177/21, BCB Resolution No. 293/23 was also issued, amending the Regulation attached to BCB Resolution No. 1/20, which governs the operation of the Pix payment arrangement.

BCB Resolution No. 293/23 aims to define arrangements for establishing partnerships between Pix participants and to regulate transitional provisions regarding criteria and conditions for outsourcing activities and for establishing partnerships between Pix participants.

On December 7, 2023, BCB Resolution No. 361/23 was edited, which adjusted and inserted devices related to the application of penalty in case of non-compliance with rules regarding the Automatic Pix.

On the same date, the BCB Normative Instruction No. 436/23 was edited, which established the operational procedures related to Automatic Pix, Scheduled Pix and Collection Pix.

Special Temporary Administrative, Intervention and Extrajudicial Liquidation Regimes – Under Law No. 6,024/74

Intervention

The Central Bank of Brazil will intervene in the operations and management of any financial institution not controlled by the Federal Government if the institution:

·

suffers losses due to mismanagement, putting creditors at risk;

·

repeatedly violates banking regulations; or

·

is insolvent.

Intervention may also be ordered upon the request of a financial institution’s management and may not exceed 12 months. During the intervention period, the institution’s liabilities are suspended in relation to overdue obligations, maturity dates for pending obligations contracted prior to intervention, and liabilities for deposits in the institution existing on the date intervention was ordered.

Administrative liquidation

The Central Bank of Brazil will liquidate a financial institution if:

·

the institution’s economic or financial situation is at risk, particularly when the institution ceases to meet its obligations as they fall due, or upon the occurrence of an event that could indicate a state of bankruptcy;

·

management commits a material violation of banking laws, regulations or rulings;

·

the institution suffers a loss that subjects its unsecured creditors to severe risk; or

·

upon revocation of the authorization to operate, the institution does not initiate ordinary liquidation proceedings within 90 days, or, if initiated, the Central Bank of Brazil determines that the pace of the liquidation may impair the institution’s creditors.

As a consequence of administrative liquidation:

·

lawsuits pleading claims on the assets of the institution are suspended;

·

the institution’s obligations are accelerated;

·

the institution may not comply with any liquidated damage clause contained in unilateral contracts;

·

interest does not accrue against the institution until its liabilities are paid in full; and

·

the limitation period of the institution’s obligations is suspended.

The Central Bank of Brazil may end the extrajudicial settlement of a financial institution, in the following cases:

·

full payment of unsecured creditors;

·

change of the institution’s scope to an economic activity that is not part of the SFN;

·

transfer of the institution’s control;

·

conversion into an ordinary settlement; and

·

sale/loss of the institution’s assets, upon its completion and the distribution of the proceeds among the creditors, even if the debts are not fully paid; or

·

absence of liquidity or difficult completion of the institution’s remaining assets, as recognized by the Central Bank of Brazil.

Temporary Special Administration Regime

The Temporary Special Administration Regime, known as (RAET), is a less severe form of Central Bank of Brazil intervention in financial institutions, which allows institutions to continue to operate normally. RAET may be ordered in the case of an institution that:

·

repeatedly makes transactions contravening economic or financial policies under federal law;

·

faces a shortage of assets;

·

fails to comply with compulsory deposit rules;

·

has reckless or fraudulent management; or

·

has operations or circumstances requiring an intervention.

Credit Guarantee Fund (Fundo Garantidor de Crédito)

In the case of liquidation of a financial institution, employees’ wages, indemnities and tax claims have the highest priority among claims against the bankrupt institution. In November 1995, the Central Bank of Brazil created the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC) to guarantee the payment of funds deposited with financial institutions in case of intervention, administrative liquidation, bankruptcy, or another state of insolvency. Members of the FGC are financial institutions that accept demand, time and savings deposits as well as savings and loans associations. The FGC is funded principally by mandatory contributions from all financial institutions based in Brazil accepting deposits from clients.

The FGC is a deposit insurance system that guarantees a certain maximum amount of deposits and certain credit instruments held by the same client against a financial institution (or against member financial institutions of the same financial group). The liability of the participating institutions is limited to the amount of their contributions to the FGC, with the exception that in limited circumstances, if FGC payments are insufficient to cover insured losses, the participating institutions may be asked for extraordinary contributions and advances. The payment of unsecured credit and client deposits not payable under the FGC is subject to the prior payment of all secured credits and other credits to which specific laws may grant special privileges.

The maximum amount of the guarantee provided by the FGC as stipulated by the CMN at the moment.is R$250,000.00, maintained until the present date.

CMN Resolution No. 4,653/18 regulated an additional monthly contribution to be collected when the Reference Value is 4 times higher than the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity. In November 2019, the CMN amended Resolution No. 4,764/19, increasing the amount of the additional contribution and stating that such contribution shall be collected as of July 2020.

Central Bank of Brazil enacted BCB Resolution No. 102/21, which revoked Circular No. 3,915/18 establishing the new obligation of providing information to the FGC by financial institutions, whereby these institutions should have systems and controls that can produce and supply such information in up to two working days in an electronic file with various data listed in the Circular.

Internal compliance procedures

All financial institutions must have in place internal policies and procedures to control:

·

their activities;

·

their financial, operational and management information systems; and

·

their compliance with all applicable regulations.

The board of executive officers of a financial institution is responsible for implementing an effective structure for internal controls by defining responsibilities and control procedures and establishing corresponding goals and procedures at all levels of the institution. The board of executive officers is also responsible for verifying compliance with all internal procedures.

Restrictions on foreign investment

The Brazilian Constitution allows foreign individuals or companies to invest in the voting shares of financial institutions based in Brazil only if they have specific authorization from the Brazilian government, declaring that the participation of foreign capital is in the interest of the Brazilian government by means of a presidential decree, pursuant to article 52, of the Act of Transitional Constitutional Provisions (ADCT). On September 26, 2019, the federal government published Decree No. 10,029, delegating to the Central Bank of Brazil the power to recognize the government’s interest in the viability of investment operations. On January 22, 2020, the Central Bank of Brazil issued Circular No. 3,977/20, which recognizes the shareholding in the capital of financial institutions headquartered in Brazil, of natural persons or legal entities resident or domiciled abroad, as of interest to the Brazilian Government, provided that the requirements provided for in the regulations of the Central Bank of Brazil are met, including: constitutional procedures, an operating permit, cancellation of the permit, control changes and corporate restructuring of financial institutions. Thus, the analysis regarding the shareholding of foreign capital in financial institutions will be performed in the same way as the analysis of composition of capital and shareholding, which financial institutions of national capital are submitted to. However, foreign investors that do not comply with the requirements and procedures laid down in the regulations of the Central Bank of Brazil may acquire publicly traded non-voting shares of financial institutions based in Brazil or depositary receipts representing non-voting shares offered abroad. Any investment in common shares would depend on government authorization. In January 2012, the Central Bank of Brazil authorized us to create an ADR program for our common shares in the U.S. market. Foreign interest in our share capital is currently limited to 30.0%.

Anti-money laundering regulations, banking secrecy and financial transactions linked to terrorism

Under Brazilian anti-money laundering rules and financial operations linked to terrorism, especially Law No. 9,613/98 (as amended by Law No. 12,683/12), Law No. 13,260/16, BCB Resolution No. 119/21, and Circulars No. 4,005/20 and No. 3,978/20, as amended by BCB Resolution No. 282/22, bringing the requirement of informing the address in the client identification stage required in the qualification procedures, in order to make the products offered operational; identification of the final beneficiary; and identification of the bearer in the case of operation in specie contribution, and by BCB Resolution No. 344/2023, which establishes cases for disregarding qualification procedures and classification of clients in purchasing loan operations based on a program instituted by the federal agency promoting the renegotiation of debts of individuals registered in default databases. The financial institutions must, among other things:

·

keep up-to-date records regarding their clients;

·

maintain internal controls and records;

·

record transactions involving Brazilian and foreign currency, securities, metals or any other asset which may be converted into money;

·

keep records of all transactions made, products and services contracted, including withdrawals, deposits, contributions, payments, receipts and transfers of resources; and

·

keep records and include additional information about withdrawal operations, including those carried out by means of a check or money order, of individual value equal to or greater than R$50 thousand, as well as inform the Council for Financial Activities Control (COAF).

The financial institution must review transactions or proposals whose characteristics may indicate the existence of a crime and inform COAF about suspicious operations of the proposed or executed transaction and implement control policies and internal procedures. Records of multiple transactions must be kept for at least ten years, unless the bank is notified that a CVM investigation is underway, in which case the ten-year obligation may be extended.

In addition, as provided by CVM Resolution No. 50/21, as amended, and consolidated in Central Bank of Brazil’s Circular No. 3,978/20, as amended, the qualification of the politically exposed person was extended. Politically exposed are those who hold or held prominent public positions in Brazil or abroad during the past five years and their relatives and close associates. Such individuals include heads of state and government, senior politicians and civil servants, judges or high-ranking military officers, and leaders of state-owned companies or political parties, members of the Judiciary, Legislative and Executive powers, the Federal Public

Prosecutor, Minister of State, members of the Court of Auditors (at federal, state and municipal), as well as individuals who held or still hold relevant positions in foreign governments.

In addition, Resolution No. 50/21, among other issues: (i) establishes and details the Anti-Money Laundering Policy, Terrorism Financing and the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction to be adopted by the people indicated in the Resolution; (ii) lays down the methods and procedures of organization and internal controls; and (iii) indicates the responsibilities of the officer responsible for compliance with the rules provided for in the Resolution, as well as the responsibilities of the senior management of the entity.

In 2008, the Central Bank of Brazil expanded the applicable rules for controlling financial transactions related to terrorism. Law No. 12,683/12, a more rigorous standard has been established for money laundering offenses. According to the new law, any offense or misdemeanor – and not only serious offenses, such as drug traffic and terrorism – may be deemed as a precedent to the money laundering offense. Additionally, the law expands, to a great extent, the list of individuals and legal entities subject to the control mechanisms of suspicious transactions, which need to notify the COAF, including, among them, companies providing advisory or consulting services to operations in the financial and capital markets, under the penalty of fines of up to R$20.0 million. We have an obligation to send to the regulatory or inspection agency information regarding the existence or non-existence of suspicious financial transactions and other situations that generate the need for communications.

The Central Bank of Brazil changed the procedures related to AMLTF to be adhered to by the payment institutions, in order to meet international requirements set forth under the scope of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is the body responsible for establishing AMLTF standards to be adhered to by the countries of the G20. Accordingly, in addition to the AMLTF procedures already required, payment institutions must also adopt procedures and controls to confirm the client’s identification and implement AMLTF risk management systems. CVM Resolution No. 50/21 which also replaced Normative Instruction No. 617/19, states the standards of AMLTF, with definition of the functions of the responsible officer, definition of the stages linked to conducting the policy of getting to know your client and greater details on the warning signs to be monitored, and the points that must integrate the analysis of the operation or atypical situation detected.

Also in 2014, SUSEP established the Permanent Committee on Anti-money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing in the Insurance, Reinsurance, Capitalization and Private Pension Plan Markets (CPLD). The CPLD is a permanent governing body acting to prevent money laundering and curtail terrorism financing, both in connection with SUSEP and the insurance, reinsurance, capitalization and private pension plan markets.

In March 2019, Law No. 13,810/19 was enacted, which deals with the enforcement of sanctions imposed by the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (CSNU), regulated by BCB Resolution No. 44/20, having operational clarifications of its procedures made by Normative Instruction No. 262/22.

In January 2020, the Central Bank of Brazil issued Circular No. 3,978/20, as amended, as specified below. This Circular revoked Circular No. 3,461/09, enhancing the policy, procedures and internal controls to be adopted to give greater efficiency to the procedures practiced in the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. Among the main guidelines introduced by Circular No. 3,978/20, we highlight:

·

Internal risk assessment: guidelines that the regulated institutions use as subsidy, when available, the evaluations carried out by public entities of the country concerning the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing;

·

Registration of operations: maintenance of records of all operations, products and services contracted, including withdrawals, deposits, contributions, payments, receipts and transfers of resources, including the operations carried out in the context of the institution itself, indicating information enabling the identification of the parties of each operation and origin and destination of resources in cases of payment transactions, receipts and transfer of resources;

·

Operations in kind: a guideline was included requiring the inclusion of the identity of the sender where operations involving resources in kind of individual value exceed R$2 thousand;

·

Procedures to get to know clients: enhancement and inclusion of new procedures destined to get to know clients, in order to understand the identification, qualification and classification of the client compatible with the risk profile and nature of the business relationship, in addition to the possibility, if necessary, of cross-checking information collected with those available on databases of public or private character. These procedures of identification and qualification shall also be adopted for managers of corporate clients and representatives of clients, compatible with the function exercised;

·

Politically Exposed People: expansion of the group of people characterized as politically exposed to the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Powers, the Public Attorney’s Office and, in terms of state companies, at federal, state and municipal levels;

·

Guidelines for hiring: inclusion in the AMLTF policies of guidelines for the selection and hiring of employees, partners and service providers considering the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing;

·

Relationship with third parties: inclusion of forecast that if the institution establishes a business relationship with third parties not subject to the operating permit from the Central Bank of Brazil, the institution’s access to the identification of the final recipients of resources for purposes of the AMLTF must be stipulated in the contract; and

·

Monitoring procedures: inclusion of specific situations to the non-exhaustive list of operations that, considering the parties involved, the values, the forms of implementation, the instruments used or the lack of economic or legal basis, may establish the existence of solid evidence of suspected money laundering or terrorist financing.

BCB Resolution No. 119/21 regulated new themes, with the objective of improving some regulatory points, in order to enable adequate and effective compliance with the rules established by Circular No. 3,978/20 of the Central Bank of Brazil, which are:

·

Requirement of the address information in the client identification stage: obtaining information from the client’s place of residence, in the case of a natural person, or from the place of the head office or branch, in the case of a legal entity, is now only required in the client’s qualification procedures, in order to make it possible to operate some of the products offered;

·

Identification of the final beneficiary: in order to conform to Circular No. 3,978/20 to the CVM regulations on AMLTF, some exceptions have been made to the need to identify the final beneficiary. Thus, except for the need to identify the final beneficiary, for example (i) legal entities characterized as an open company, non-profit entities and cooperatives; (ii) the investment funds registered in the CVM, constituted in the form of a closed condominium, the quotas of which are traded on an organized market, in addition to (iii) certain non-resident investors; and

·

Identification of the holder: in the case of operation with the use of in-kind resources performed by a security and protection company, the identification of the natural person carrying the resources is not effective for AMLTF purposes, especially in view of the number of changes in the person who actually holds the resources. In this way, BCB Resolution No. 119/21 changed the sense of considering the security and protection company as the carrier of the resources.

In August 2020, SUSEP issued Circular No. 612/20, amended by Circular No. 622/21, which provides on the policy, procedures and internal controls intended specifically for preventing and combating the crimes of money laundering or concealment of assets, rights and values, or the crimes that they can relate to, as well as preventing and combating the terrorism financing.

Anticorruption Law

In August 2013, Law No. 12,846/13 was enacted to regulate civil and administrative liability of legal entities for performing acts against public management, either domestic or foreign. Based on this legal provision, legal entities shall be strictly liable, in both the administrative and civil spheres, for the practice of harmful acts in their exclusive or non-exclusive interest or benefit.

The Decree No. 11,129/22 regulates the application of Law No. 12,846/13. Among others, it establishes the guidelines with respect to the calculation of the fines to be imposed in cases involving corruption scandals. The basis of calculation for the application of financial penalty will be the gross legal entity billing in the last year prior to the establishment of the Administrative Accountability Procedure, excluding taxes. Articles 22 and 23 of the Decree relate to the "compromise" of the fine, providing for "mitigating" and "aggravating” factors. In the first case, there are provisions regarding the non-consummation of the infraction, compensation for damages, level of cooperation, non-existence or lack of proof of advantage and damage resulting from the injurious act, spontaneous communication, preparation of the program of governance and internal structure of compliance; in the second, as “aggravating factors”, it provides for the continuity of the conduct during the relevant period, number of harmful acts, any tolerance by the Board of the company, suspension of construction or public service and positive economic situation, recurrence. If it is not possible to use the revenue as a parameter for the calculation of the fine, the values to be applied may be between R$6 thousand, minimum, and R$60 million, maximum. An additional 3% fine will be levied if within five years of the “corrupt” conduct such “corrupt” conduct is repeated.

Audit partner rotation requirements

Under Brazilian regulations, all financial institutions must:

·

be audited by an independent accounting firm; and

·

have the specialist in charge, officer, manager or audit team supervisor periodically replaced without the need to change the independent auditor firm itself. Rotation must take place after five fiscal years at most and replaced professionals may be reintegrated three years later. Terms of responsible specialists, officers, managers or audit team supervisors begin on the day the team begins work on the audit.

Each independent accounting firm must immediately inform the Central Bank of Brazil of any event that may materially adversely affect the relevant financial institution’s status.

According to BCB Resolution No. 130/21, as amended, payment institutions that are registered as publicly-held companies and are conglomerate leaders classified within Segment S1, S2 or S3 should constitute a statutory body called the Audit Committee, which will be responsible for the fulfillment of the attributions and responsibilities of the Resolution.

For the entities regulated by SUSEP, the applicable standards determine the replacement of the actuary and members responsible for the independent accounting audit, every five fiscal years (Article 107 of CNSP Resolution No. 432/21). According to Article 119, VIII, of aforementioned CNSP Resolution No. 432/21, amended by CNSP Resolution No. 448/22, both revoked CNSP Resolution No. 321/15, the member responsible for the independent accounting audit is the technical responsible, officer, manager, supervisor or any other member in a management function that is a member of the team responsible for independent accounting audit work. A member responsible for the independent accounting audit can only return three years after being replaced.

For the entities regulated by ANS, the applicable standards in effect since 2016 determine that the professional responsible for signing the auditors’ report should change at least every five fiscal years, requiring a minimum interval of three years from its replacement.

The members of the Board of Directors, elected in the form of Article 141, paragraph 4 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, will have veto rights, provided that it is in a substantiated manner, the appointment or removal of the independent accounting firm.

Auditing requirements

Because we are a financial institution and registered with the local stock exchange, we are required to have our financial statements, prepared in accordance with BR GAAP, audited every six months, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. Quarterly financial information filed with the CVM is also subject to review by independent auditors. Additionally, as required by CMN Resolution No. 4,818/20, we are required to publish annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with

IFRS, accompanied by the independent auditors’ report and the management report on social business and the main administrative facts for the period.

Resolution No. 4,818/20 consolidates the general criteria for the preparation and disclosure of financial statements and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, with the exception of the managers of consortium and payment institutions. These institutions must draw up and publish annual financial statements relating to the fiscal year, and semiannual, relating to the six months ended June 30 and December 31, which are: (i) balance sheet; (ii) income statement; (iii) comprehensive statement of income; (iv) statement of cash flows; and (v) statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

In addition, in December 2020, the CMN enacted Resolution No. 4,877/20 which contains provisions on the general criteria for the measurement and recognition of social and labor obligations by institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil (except consortium managers and payment institutions). With this resolution, the authorized institutions are obliged to recognize as a monthly liability, when drawing up trial balance or balance sheets, the values due on the portions of the results of the period allotted or to be allotted to employees, managers or to funds and assistance and other obligations with employees.

The independent auditors must also declare to the audited company’s management that their provision of these services does not affect the independence and objectivity required for external auditing services.

CMN issued CMN Resolution No. 4,910/21, which revoked Resolution No. 3,198/04, establishing that financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil that (i) are registered as an open company; (ii) are leaders of a prudential conglomerate classified in Segment S1, S2 or S3, according to specific regulations; or (iii) meet the criteria laid down in the specific regulations for the framework in S1, S2 and S3, in which they must constitute a statutory body called “audit committee”.

This resolution defined the minimum requirements to be observed by financial institutions when electing members for the Audit Committee, establishing the composition, mandate, and duties.

The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors which independent accounting firm to engage, reviewing the company’s financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the auditors’ opinion prior to public release, evaluating the effectiveness of the auditing services provided and internal compliance procedures, assessing Management’s compliance with the recommendations made by the independent accounting firm, among other matters. Our Bylaws were amended in December 2003 to stipulate the existence of an Audit Committee. In May 2004, our Board of Directors approved the internal regulations for the Audit Committee and appointed its first members. Our Audit Committee has been fully operational since July 2004.

The Audit Committee shall keep at the disposal of the Central Bank of Brazil and of the board of directors the Audit Committee’s report for a minimum period of five years, counted from its preparation. In addition, institutions should disclose, together with their individual and consolidated, semi-annual and annual financial statements, a summary of the audit committee’s report, showing the main information contained in this document.

Operations in other jurisdictions

We have branches and subsidiaries in several other jurisdictions, such as New York, Florida, London, Grand Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Mexico, Guatemala and Luxembourg. The Central Bank of Brazil supervises Brazilian financial institutions’ foreign branches, subsidiaries and corporate properties, and prior approval from the Central Bank of Brazil is necessary to establish any new branch, subsidiary or representative office or to acquire or increase any interest in any company abroad. In any case, the subsidiaries’ activities should be complementary or related to our own principal activities. In most cases, we have had to obtain governmental approvals from local central banks and monetary authorities in foreign jurisdictions before commencing business. In each jurisdiction in which we operate, we are subject to supervision by local authorities.

Asset management

In August 2004, the CVM issued Instruction No. 409/04, consolidating all previous regulations applicable to fixed-income asset funds and equity mutual funds. Prior to this ruling, fixed-income asset funds were regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil, and equity mutual funds were regulated by the CVM.

In December 2014, the CVM enacted Instruction No. 555/14, which replaced Instruction No. 409/04, in order to improve electronic communications, rationalize the volume, content and manner of disclosing information, and to make investment limits less rigid for certain financial assets, particularly foreign financial assets.

In December 2022, CVM issued Resolution No. 175/22, which replaced Instruction No. 555/14, with the aim of modernizing the regulatory framework for investment funds, systematizing and regulating the innovations brought by Law No. 13,874, of September 20, 2019, in order to improve the regulatory framework for investment funds. known as the “Law of Economic Freedom”. In general, it establishes higher standards of transparency, governance, criteria for the composition of investment portfolios and defines the rights and responsibilities of the shareholders and service providers, seeking to provide greater legal certainty to the participants of the capital market.

In addition to the above, CVM Resolution No. 175/22, as amended, among the changes provided by the said Resolution, highlights (i) the possibility of the fund to define whether the liability of the shareholders will be limited or unlimited to the value of the quotas; (ii) the liability of the essential service providers (administrators and managers) and other service providers of the fund, who will respond to the CVM in their respective spheres of activity, for their own acts and omissions contrary to the law, the regulation of the fund or the current regulation; (iii) the creation of different classes of quotas, with different rights and obligations, and must belong to the same category as the fund; (iv) determines that all portfolio assets are identified by an ISIN (International Securities Identification Number) code in order to establish an international standardization in the identification of financial assets, assigning each asset traded on the market a unique identification code; and (v) possibility of investing in new asset classes, such as cryptoassets, decarbonization credits and carbon credits.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 175/22, securities, as well as other financial assets which are an integral part of the investment fund portfolio, should be duly registered in the registration system with a custodian or central depository, in all cases, with institutions duly authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil or the CVM to carry out such activities, in their respective areas of competence.

Broker and dealer firms

Broker and dealer firms are part of the SFN and are subject to CMN, Central Bank of Brazil and CVM regulation and supervision. Brokerage and distribution firms must be authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and are the only institutions in Brazil authorized to trade on Brazil’s stock exchanges. Both brokers and dealers may act as underwriters for public placement of securities and engage in the brokerage of foreign currency in any exchange market.

Brokers must observe B3 rules of conduct previously approved by the CVM, and must designate an executive officer responsible for observance of these rules.

Broker and dealer firms may not:

·

with few exceptions, execute transactions that may be characterized as the granting loans to their clients, including the assignment of rights;

·

collect commissions from their clients related to transactions of securities during the primary distribution; or

·

acquire assets, including real estate properties, which are not for their own utilization, with certain exceptions.

Broker and dealer firms’ employees, managers, partners, controlling and controlled entities may trade securities on their own account only through the broker they are related to.

In March 2022, CMN Resolution No. 5,008/22 totally revoked CMN Resolution No. 4,750/19, which amended the regulation applicable to brokers and distributors, allowing their role as issuers of electronic money. The new Resolution provisions on the constitution, organization and operation of securities dealers and brokers (CTVM) and of securities’ distributors and brokers (DTVM).

Internet brokerage services

The CVM approved regulations on Internet brokerage activities, which may be carried out only by registered companies. Brokers’ website must contain details of their systems, fees, security and procedures for executing orders. They must also contain information about how the market functions generally and the risks involved with each type of investment offered.

Brokers that carry out transactions over the Internet must guarantee the security and operability of their systems, which must be audited at least twice a year.

Leasing

The basic legal framework governing leasing transactions is established by Law No. 6,099/74, as amended (the Leasing Law) and related regulations issued periodically by the CMN. The Leasing Law provides general guidelines for the incorporation of leasing companies and the business activities they may undertake. The CMN, as the regulator of the Financial System, is responsible for issuing Leasing Law related regulations and overseeing transactions made by leasing companies. Laws and regulations issued by the Central Bank of Brazil for financial institutions in general, such as reporting requirements, capital adequacy and leverage regulations, asset composition limits and treatment of doubtful loans, are also applicable to leasing companies.

The accounting criteria applicable to leasing operations contracted by consortium managers and by payment institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil are set out in BCB Resolution No. 178/22.

Insurance, health and pension plans regulation

Principal regulatory agencies

National Private Insurance Council (CNSP)

The National Private Insurance Council (CNSP) is the agency responsible for establishing the guidelines and standards of private insurance policy. The agency is composed of representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Social Security and Social Assistance of the Superintendence of Private Insurance, the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM.

In addition to laying down the guidelines and standards of private insurance policy, it is the responsibility of the CNSP:

·

to regulate those exercising activities, subordinate to the National Private Insurance System, as well as the application of penalties;

·

to establish the general characteristics of insurance, open private pension, capitalization and reinsurance contracts;

·

to establish the general guidelines of reinsurance operations; and

·

to prescribe the criteria for the establishment of Insurance Companies, of Capitalization, Open Private Pension Entities and Reinsurers.

Private Insurance Superintendence (SUSEP)

SUSEP is responsible for implementing and overseeing CNSP’s policies and ensuring compliance with such policies by insurance companies, insurance brokers and insured individuals. SUSEP is linked to the Ministry of Finance and was created by Decree-Law No. 73 of November 1966.

Thus, for insurers to operate, they need government approval, as well as specific approval from the SUSEP to commercialize each of their products, where they may underwrite policies either directly to consumers or through qualified brokers (Article 13 and paragraph 2 of Law No. 4,594/64).

SUSEP is responsible for:

·

Supervising the constitution, organization, functioning and operation of insurance companies, of capitalization, open private pension entities and reinsurers;

·

Complying with and enforcing the deliberations of the CNSP and performing the activities delegated by it;

·

Acting in order to protect the acquisition of popular savings that are made through the operations of insurance, open private pension, and of capitalization and reinsurance;

·

Promoting the improvement of institutions and operational instruments;

·

Promoting the stability of the markets under its jurisdiction, ensuring their expansion and the operation of the entities that operate in them;

·

Ensuring the liquidity and solvency of companies that make up the insurance market; and

·

Ensuring the protection of consumer interests of the markets supervised.

National Supplemental Health Agency (ANS)

The ANS is a municipality linked to the Ministry of Health, with operations throughout Brazil, as an agency of regulation, standardization, control and supervision of activities that ensure the qualification of health care in the supplemental health sector.

The main initiatives of ANS are to stimulate the quality of the supplemental health sector and encourage programs to promote and prevent diseases in the sector in which it operates.

To fulfill its objectives, the following are incumbent upon the ANS:

·

Regulation of the Supplemental Health Care, creating general policies and guidelines, actions to standardize and foment actions that aim to protect the public interest and the sustainability of the supplemental health care market;

·

Qualification of the supplemental health care, creating policies, guidelines and actions that seek, among others the qualification of the sector, in relation to the regulated market; and

·

Institutional Articulation, creating policies, general guidelines and actions to optimize the internal and external institutional relations enabling the effectiveness of the regulatory process.

Insurance Regulation

The Brazilian insurance business is regulated by Decree-Law No. 73/66, as amended, which created two regulatory agencies, the CNSP and SUSEP. SUSEP is responsible for implementing and overseeing CNSP’s policies and ensuring compliance with such policies by insurance companies, capitalization companies, open private pension entities, insurance brokers, reinsurers and the insured persons. Insurance companies require government approval, as well as specific approval from SUSEP to offer each of their products. Insurance companies may underwrite policies both directly to consumers and through qualified brokers (Article 13 of Law No. 4,594/64).

Insurance companies must set aside reserves in accordance with CNSP criteria. Investments covering these reserves must be diversified and meet certain liquidity, solvency and security criteria, rules for which were consolidated by CNSP Resolution No. 321/15, revoked by CNSP Resolution No. 432/21, later amended by CNSP Resolution No. 448/22 and No. 453/22. The insurance companies are major investors in the Brazilian financial markets and are subject to CMN rules and conditions for their investments and coverage of technical reserves.

Insurance companies may not, among other activities:

·

act as financial institutions by lending or providing guarantees;

·

trade in securities (subject to exceptions); or

·

invest outside of Brazil without specific permission from the authorities.

Insurance companies must operate within certain retention limits approved by SUSEP pursuant to CNSP rules. These rules reflect the economic and financial situation of insurance companies and the conditions of their portfolios. Insurers must also meet certain capital requirements as provided by SUSEP regulations.

Under Complementary Law No. 126/07, the ceding party (local insurer or reinsurer) must offer local reinsurers preference when contracting reinsurance or retrocession in the percentage of 40% of risks ceded.

The Complementary Law also places more severe restrictions on ceding risk to foreign reinsurance companies and contracting of insurance abroad. Insurance companies must reinsure amounts exceeding their retention limits.

Since CNSP Resolution No. 168/07 was amended by CNSP Resolution No. 353/17, it does not require the insurance company to utilize a minimum number of local reinsurers. However, in accordance with Article 15 of the CNSP Resolution No. 168/07, the insurance company needed to give preference to local reinsurers in at least 40% of the assignment of reinsurance agreements to each automatic or optional contract. In addition, as per CNSP Resolution No. 168/07, there were no more limits on the transference of risks by insurers to companies that belong to its financial conglomerate. Pursuant to its amendment by CNSP Resolution No. 353/17, it was established that reinsurance and retrocession operations within the same economic conglomerate should "ensure the effective transfer of risk between the parties" and "take place under conditions of fair competition".

Subsequently, Resolution CNSP No. 168/07 was revoked by Resolution CNSP No. 451/22, regulated by Circular No. 683/22, which provides for the transfer and acceptance of reinsurance and retrocession operations and their intermediation, coinsurance operations, foreign currency operations and insurance contracts abroad. These rules provide for new rules on preferential offer to local reinsurers, indicating that, for the purposes of fulfilling the preferential offer, the insurance company should conduct formal consultation with one or more local reinsurers of their free choice, according to the limits provided for in the legislation.

Resolution No. 432/21, amended by the Resolution No. 448/22 and No. 453/22, as well as Circular No. 648/21, amended by Circular No. 678/22, provides for regulating technical provisions, assets which reduce the need for coverage of technical provisions, risk capital, adjusted shareholders’ equity, solvency regularization plans, retention limit, criteria for investments, accounting standards, accounting and independent actuarial audits, and Audit Committee applicable to insurance companies, open pension fund entities (EAPCs), capitalization companies and reinsurers.

Insurance companies are exempt from ordinary financial liquidation procedures in case of bankruptcy, and instead follow the special procedure administered by SUSEP. Resolution CNSP No. 444/22 provides for preventive prudential measures aimed at preserving the stability and soundness of the National Private Insurance System, of the National Capitalization System and the Supplementary Pension System and ensuring the solvency, liquidity and regular functioning of those supervised. Financial liquidation may be either voluntary or compulsory.

As was already the case in relation to entities subject to CMN, SUSEP issued rules in December 2008 with specific internal controls for preventing and fighting money laundering crimes. These rules include a series of provisions for notifying proposed transactions with politically exposed individuals and suppression of terrorist financing activities. These rules were subsequently amended and consolidated. CNSP Resolution No. 416/21 and SUSEP Circular No. 612/20, as amended by SUSEP Circular No. 622/21, are current in force.

Resolution No. 383/20 issued by CNSP in March 2020, later amended by Resolution No. 454/22 and No. 461/23, established that insurance companies, EAPCs, capitalizations companies and local reinsurers must record their operations of insurance, open supplementary pension plan, capitalization and reinsurance, as the case may be, in the registration system (i) previously approved by SUSEP; and (ii) managed by a registration entity accredited by SUSEP in order to increase the control of the operations carried out by these companies.

There is currently no restriction on foreign investment in insurance companies.

Health insurance

Private health insurance and health plans are regulated by Law No. 9,656/98, as amended, which we refer to as the “Health Insurance Law”, containing general provisions applicable to health insurance companies, in accordance with Law No. 10,185/01, and the general terms and conditions of agreements entered into between health insurance companies and their clients.

The ANS is responsible for regulating and supervising supplemental health services provided by health insurance companies pursuant to directives set forth by the Supplemental Health Council (Conselho de Saúde Suplementar).

Until 2001, SUSEP had authority over insurance companies, which were authorized to offer private health plans. Since 2001, pursuant to ANS regulations and supervision, only operators of private health plans may offer such plans. We created Bradesco Saúde in 1999 to fulfill this requirement. However, in accordance with the terms of article 1, paragraph 5 of Law No. 10,185/01, the insurance companies specializing in health insurance will remain subject to the rules on the application of assets guaranteeing the technical provisions issued by CMN.

Private pension plans

Open pension plans are subject, for purposes of inspection and control, to the authority of the CNSP and the SUSEP, which are under the regulatory authority of the Ministry of Finance. The CMN, CVM and Central Bank of Brazil may also issue regulations pertaining to private pension plans, particularly related to assets guaranteeing technical reserves.

Private pension entities must set aside reserves and technical provisions as collateral for their liabilities.

EAPCs and insurance companies have been allowed to create, trade and operate investment funds with segregated assets since January 2006. Notwithstanding the above, certain provisions of Law No. 11,196/05 will only become effective when SUSEP and CVM issue regulatory texts. In September 2007, CVM issued Instruction No. 459/07, subsequently amended by Instruction No. 587/17, which addresses the setup, management, operation and disclosure of information on investment funds exclusively related to supplementary pension fund plans. Both were revoked by Resolution No. 175/22, which provides for the establishment, operation and dissemination of information from investment funds, as well as the provision of services for the funds. In January 2013, the CMN determined rules to govern the application of reserves, provisions and funds of insurance companies, capitalization companies and EAPCs. In December 2019, the CMN published Resolution No. 4,769/19, changing the limits for the investment of resources addressed in Resolution No. 4,444/15. Both standards were subsequently revoked by CMN Resolution No. 4,993/22, which provides for the rules governing the investment of technical reserve resources, from provisions and funds of insurance companies, capitalization companies, open supplementary pension entities and local reinsurers, on the investments of resources required in the country to guarantee the obligations of reinsurers admitted and on the portfolio of Individual Scheduled Retirement Funds (FAPI), later amended by CMN Resolution No. 5,016/22. In turn, CNSP enacted CNSP Resolution No. 432/21, later amended by CNSP Resolution No. 448/22 and No. 453/22, revoking Resolution No. 321/15, which among various subjects, also regulates the investments by insurers, open entities of supplementary pension plans, capitalization companies and local reinsurers.

Currently, in addition to Complementary Law No. 109/01, the main rules governing the activity of open supplementary pension are CNSP Resolution No. 349/17 and CNSP Resolution No. 348/17, SUSEP Circular No. 563/17, SUSEP Circular No. 564/17, both amended by Circular No. 585/19, CNSP Resolution No. 458/22 and SUSEP Circular No. 685/22.

Reinsurance

Insurance companies must operate with reinsurers registered with SUSEP, and may, exceptionally, contract out reinsurance or retrocession operations not authorized to operate in Brazil when local and foreign reinsurers lack sufficient capacity.

Currently, due to Decree No. 10,167/19, the Brazilian law provides that the insurer or the cooperative society may concede occasional reinsurers up to 95% of premiums ceded in reinsurance, based on the totality of its operations in each calendar year. In the same way, the local reinsurer may also concede up to 95% of the premiums issued relating to risks they have underwritten, also calculated on the basis of the totality of its operations in each calendar year. It is worth noting that some lines or insurance modalities may have greater or lesser restrictions on the percentages of premiums that may be ceded in reinsurance.

The regulation of SUSEP established a minimum compulsory contracting of 15% of the reinsurance ceded, with Brazilian reinsurers. In addition, it provided a limit to certain lines of up to 75%, so that a Brazilian-based insurer or reinsurer could transfer risks to related or foreign-based companies belonging to the same financial conglomerate. These limits were revoked when CNSP Resolution No. 353/2017 and CNSP Resolution No. 451/22 came into force. CNSP Resolution No. 451/22 indicates that, for the purposes of fulfilling the preferential offer related to Brazilian reinsurers, the insurance company must observe the percentage established in the current legislation, applicable to each automatic or optional contract. In addition, it establishes that insurance companies should submit to SUSEP, by March 31 of the following calendar year, technical justification for a percentage of reinsurance assignment in excess of 90%, considering the totality of their operations, per calendar year. In addition, reinsurance and retrocession operations carried out between companies linked or belonging to the same financial conglomerate must occur under balanced conditions of competition, and the parties involved will be responsible for demonstrating compliance with these conditions.

Recently, CNSP Resolution No. 380/20 extended the list of people who can purchase reinsurance, including: (i) Open Supplementary Pension Fund Entity (EAPC) (Article 2, paragraph 1); and (ii) Closed Supplementary Pension Fund Entity (EFPC) and operators of private health care plans (Article 2, paragraph 2). Although it was revoked by CNSP Resolution No. 451/22, the provisions in this regard were maintained.

Taxes on our main transactions

Taxes on financial transactions (“IOF”)

On loan transactions

IOF on loans levied on loan operations have as their taxable event the delivery of the obligation amount or value or its placement available to borrowers.

Rate applicable to loans and advances of any type, including credit opening is 0.0041% per day to legal entity borrowers and 0.0082% to individual borrowers.

The IOF on loans daily rate will be charged on principal available to borrowers regarding the loans and advances, whereby:

•

for cases in which the amount of principal is determined, the IOF on loans daily rate shall not exceed the amount resulting from the daily rate applied to each principal amount, which is expected to be used for the transaction, multiplied by three hundred and sixty-five days (365);

•

for cases in which the amount of principal is not determined before the transaction (revolving credit), the values of interest and charges that will use the limits of revolving credits, will be part of the principal amount, subject to IOF on loans rates, so that the calculation base will comprise the sum of daily outstanding debt balances calculated on the last day of each month.

Since January 2008, besides IOF on loans daily rate on the transactions mentioned above, loans and advances have been subject to IOF on loans additional rate of 0.38% irrespective of the repayment period or whether the borrower is an individual or a legal entity. This way, in loan operations with defined principal, for legal entities, IOF on loans rate shall not exceed 1.8765% and for individuals, it will not exceed a 3.373% rate, which corresponds to the result of applying the daily rate to each amount of principal stipulated for the transaction, multiplied by 365 days, plus an additional rate of 0.38% even if the loan is to be repaid by installment.

IOF on loans is levied on loan operations between individuals and legal entities domiciled in Brazil, as well as on operations whose creditor resides in Brazil, even if the debtor is located abroad. However, IOF on loans is not levied on loans where the lender is located abroad, and the borrower is in Brazil.

Insurance transactions

IOF on insurance levied on insurance operations has as its taxable event the receipt of premium. Applicable rates are as follows:

·

0.0% on: (i) reinsurance operations; (ii) operations related to mandatory insurance, linked to residential housing loans granted by an agent of the national housing system (SFH); (iii) insurance operations for export credits and international merchandise transportation; (iv) insurance operations entered into Brazil, related to the cover for risks relating to the launch and operation of the satellites Brasilsat I and II; (v) aeronautical insurance and civil liability of airlines; (vi) premiums intended to finance life insurance plans with survival coverage; and (vii) guarantee insurance;

·

0.38% of premiums paid, in the case of life insurance and similar policies, for personal or workplace accidents, including mandatory insurance for personal injuries caused by vehicles or ships or cargo to persons transported or others;

·

2.38% private health insurance business; and

·

7.38% for all other insurance transactions.

Income and social contribution taxes on income

Federal taxes on company profits include two components, income tax known as IRPJ and tax on net income, known as Social Contribution or CSLL, both calculated on the adjusted net income. Income tax charges are calculated based on a rate of 15.0% plus a surcharge of 10.0% on taxable income exceeding R$240 thousand per annum, corresponding to a combined rate of 25.0%. Social contribution tax payable by the majority of financial institutions is calculated based on a rate of 15% as of January 1, 2019.

However, with the enactment of Constitutional Amendment No. 103/19, as of March 1, 2020, the banks of any kind and the development agencies began to be subject to the increased rate of 20%. On March 1, 2021, Provisional Measure No. 1,034/21 was enacted, which increases the rates for Social Contribution by 5% for the majority of financial institutions (including banks of any kind) during the period from July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Provisional Measure No. 1,034/21 was converted into Law No. 14,183/21, which (i) increased to 25% the CSLL rate on banks of any kind, reduced to 20% as of January 1, 2022; and (ii) maintained the increase in the Social Contribution rate to 20% for most of the other financial institutions until December 31, 2021, which was subsequently reduced to 15%.

In 2022, however, Provisional Measure No. 1,115/22 was edited, later converted into Law No. 14,446/22, increasing until December 31, 2022: (i) from 20% to 21% the CSLL rates on banks of any kind; and (ii) from 15% to 16% for other financial institutions.

Legal entities in Brazil are taxed based on their global income, and not just the income produced exclusively in Brazil. As a result, profits, capital gains and other income obtained abroad by Brazilian entities are computed in the determination of their taxable profits on an annual basis.

As a rule, affiliates abroad will have their dividends (and not the corporate profit) taxed in Brazil at the time of effective distribution, except: (i) if they are domiciled in a tax haven or if they adopt a sub-taxation scheme, or (ii) they are treated as subsidiaries. With regard to the subsidiaries, the controller legal entities in Brazil must: (i) record in sub accounts the investment account, in proportion to the stake held, the share of the adjustment of the investment value equivalent to corporate profits (calculated before local income tax), earned by the subsidiaries, directly and indirectly, in Brazil or abroad, concerning the calendar year in which they were calculated in the balance sheet; and (ii) compute these values in their calculation base of the IRPJ and Social Contribution.

Interest paid or credited by a company based in Brazil to: (i) an addressee domiciled abroad, whether or not holding equity interest in the company paying; or (ii) an addressee resident, domiciled or incorporated in a tax haven or locality with a low or privileged tax regime are subject to the deductibility limits imposed by thin-capitalization and transfer pricing rules.

Tax deductions for any payment to a beneficiary resident or domiciled in a country with tax haven are also subject to the following: (i) identification of the actual beneficiary of the person domiciled abroad; (ii) proof of the ability of the person located abroad to complete the transaction; and (iii) documented proof of payment of the respective price and of receipt of the assets, rights, or utilization of service.

The variation in the monetary value of companies’ credit rights and obligations in Brazil due to varying exchange rates can be calculated on a cash or accrual basis. The election of the tax regime must be exercised in January of each calendar year and may only be altered during the fiscal year if there is “material variation in the exchange rate”, as published by a Finance Ministry Directive.

PIS and Cofins

Two federal taxes are imposed on the gross revenues of legal entities: PIS and Cofins. Nonetheless, many revenues, such as: dividends, equity earnings from unconsolidated companies, revenues from the sale of non-current assets (investments, fixed assets and intangible assets) and, in general, export revenues paid in foreign currency are not included in the calculation base for PIS and Cofins. Revenues earned by corporations domiciled in Brazil are subject to PIS and Cofins taxes corresponding to interest on own capital.

Brazilian legislation authorizes certain adjustments to the calculation base of those taxes depending on the business segment and on other aspects.

Between 2002 (PIS) and 2003 (Cofins), the government implemented a non-cumulative collection system of PIS and Cofins taxes, allowing taxpayers to deduct from their calculation basis credits originating from certain transactions. In order to offset these credits, the rates of both PIS and Cofins were substantially increased. Subsequent to the changes made to PIS and Cofins, as of May 2004, both taxes are applicable on imports of goods and services when the taxpayer is the importing company domiciled in Brazil.

Since August 2004, the PIS and Cofins rates due on financial revenues were 0.0%, including those arising from operations carried out for purposes of hedge, earned by legal entities subject to the system of non-accrual of these contributions. However, Decree No. 8,426/15 establishes that from July 2015, the rates will be restored to 0.65% regarding the PIS and 4.0% regarding the Cofins. Note that on December 30, 2022, Decree No. 11,322/22 had been published reducing the related rates to 0.33% and 2.0%, respectively, however, this Decree was revoked on January 1, 2023 by Decree No. 11,374/23, if the original wording provided for in Decree No. 8,426/15 is reestablished.

On the other hand, according to the amendments made by Decree No. 8,451/15 to Decree No. 8,426/15, the contributions to PIS and Cofins are subject to a zero tax rate, specifically in relation to financial revenues arising from: (i) monetary variation, depending on the exchange rate, of export operations of goods and services, as well as obligations incurred by the legal entity, including loans and financing; and (ii) hedge operations carried out on the stock exchange, of commodities and of futures, or in the organized OTC market. Certain economic activities are expressly excluded from the procedures of the non-accrual collection of the PIS and Cofins. This is the case of financial institutions, which shall remain subject to PIS and Cofins by the “accrued” procedures, which does not permit the discount of any credits, as provided by Article 10, paragraph I, of Law No. 10,833/03. Despite this impossibility of accrual of credits, the legislation in force enables the exclusion of certain expenditure in the calculation by such entities of the bases of calculation of the PIS and Cofins (as is the case, for example, of the expenses incurred by the banks in financial mediation operations and expenditure on severance payments corresponding to accidents occurring in the case of private insurance companies). In such cases, the income received by the financial institutions is subject to Contribution to the PIS and Cofins at the rates of 0.65% and 4.0%, respectively.

In July 2010, the Brazilian tax authorities introduced digital tax records (Escrituração Fiscal Digital – EFD) for PIS and Cofins taxes, which must be adopted, including by financial institutions.

In 2023, the National Congress approved PEC No. 45/19 responsible for the Tax Reform in Brazil, resulting in Constitutional Amendment No. 132/23. This Constitutional Amendment reorganizes the taxation on consumption in Brazil, having as main milestone the replacement of five current taxes (PIS, COFINS, ICMS, ISS and IPI) by a Value Added Tax (VAT) rate, divided into two: (i) the Contribution on Goods and Services

(CBS), which will be allocated to the Government, and (ii) the Goods and Services Tax (IBS), which will go to states and municipalities.

In this sense, after the end of the transition process of the Tax Reform, starting in 2026, the social contributions, PIS and COFINS, will cease to exist, being replaced by the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS).

At the moment, we cannot estimate the impacts that the implementation of the Tax Reform approved by PEC No. 45/19 will have on the operations developed by the company. In this sense, although taxation on consumption has undergone significant changes, which may result in a possible increase in the tax burden, there is no way of predicting the impacts on the gross margin of the company.

Compliance with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS) (Tax Compliance Laws for Foreign Accounts)

Based on the commitment to observe the laws and regulations applicable to their business, we comply with the criteria established by the international treaties, FATCA and CRS, which aim to combat and curb tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing.

Established by the United States government and with the aim of identifying the financial accounts of American taxpayers residing in other countries, the FATCA law was published in Brazil through Decree Law No. 8,506/15, of the Executive Branch.

The CRS, conceived under the coordination of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) with the participation of the main countries of the world, was released by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, through Normative Instruction No. 1,680/16, following the same guidelines as the American Fatca Law, that is to identify the financial accounts of taxpayers from foreign countries who are acceding to the agreement.

To meet national and international requirements, internal compliance standards were established to highlight the transparency of information and to adopt effective measures to control, monitor and improve existing processes.

Centralized Registration and Deposit of Financial Assets and Securities

In August 2017, the Brazilian Congress converted Provisional Measure (PM) No. 775/17, issued by the President of Brazil in April 2017, into Law No. 13,476/17. The new law consolidates the provisions on the creation of liens over financial assets and securities. On the same day, the CMN issued Resolution No. 4,593/17, as amended, to regulate the provisions set by Law No. 13,476/17 and consolidate the regulation on centralized deposits and registry of financial assets and securities issued or owned by financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. Resolution No. 4,593/17, as amended, presents a clearer definition of financial assets which includes, in addition to traditional financial instruments such as certificates and bank deposit receipts, credit securities subject to discount and credit card receivables. In addition, the rule establishes that the record of financial assets and securities is (i) applicable to bilateral operations (meaning operations directly with clients), with some exemptions in certain situations; and (ii) the centralized deposit is applicable to credit securities with payment obligations and securities issued by financial institutions or other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil as a condition for engaging in certain negotiations and in the assumption of custody. The Central Bank of Brazil will issue regulations governing the implementation of such rules, including the creation of an electronic system for the constitution of liens and encumbrances.

As of December 2020, by means of BCB Normative Instruction No. 61/20, the financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil should inform the standardized identifier of the loan (IPOC), dealt by in Circular No. 3,953/19, as amended by BCB Resolution No. 36/20, in the registry of financial instruments representative of loan and leasing operations, including those subject to assignment of credit, chattel and portability and in the form of credit rights, in systems of registration and financial settlement of assets authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil.

In March 2023, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 308/23, which provides for the conditions for the exercise of the activities of registration and centralized deposit of real estate receivables by central financial asset registrars and depositories. Among these conditions, the said Resolution provisions that the contracts must establish, among others, that the real estate receivables of the enterprise will be registered or deposited exclusively in the registered entity or in the contracted central depositary, whereby portability is admitted.

For the purposes of BCB Resolution No. 308/23, the real estate credit right constituted or to be constituted is considered receivable, which is the result of a purchase and sale contract or a promise of purchase and sale, with or without the issuance of a Mortgage Bond (CCI), agreed between syndicator or developer and purchaser or committed purchaser of an autonomous real estate unit or lot.

b)

main aspects related to compliance with legal and regulatory obligations related to environmental and social issues by the issuer

Sustainability is one of the strategic drivers of Bradesco, because we understand that the management of environmental, social and governance (ESG or ASG in Portuguese) issues has become key to our survival and growth in an environment that is increasingly dynamic and challenging. As we seek to generate shared and long-term value for investors, employees, suppliers, clients and society, we also contribute to the sustainable development of the country.

Guidelines and governance

Our actions are guided by a set of policies and standards which incorporate best practices in sustainability management and which also govern our voluntary commitments.

Our Corporate Sustainability Policy aims to promote our sustainability goals and guide the actions related to the socio-environmental factors of our business. Other policies and rules incorporate these guidelines, consolidating the practices of social and environmental responsibility, including from a risk management perspective.

The Socio-Environmental and Climate Responsibility Standard (PRSAC) defines the main compliance procedures for the socio-environmental and climate criteria governing our business, relationships with stakeholders and the overall governance of the theme. The Social, Environmental and Climate Risk Standard establishes the scope and approach to managing these risks, covered in more detail in the section on “Social, environmental and governance criteria in business decisions”.

The main governance body presiding over the topic is the Sustainability and Diversity Committee, which includes members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Executive Officers, including the CEO. The Committee is advised by the Sustainability Committee, an executive body composed of officers and managers of various areas, ensuring the implementation of the strategy, monitoring the execution of projects and their impact on our performance. From the perspective of socio-environmental risk, the main decision-making forums are the Executive Risk Management Committee and the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee.

Sustainability Strategy

In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) prioritized by the Organization, our sustainability strategy is based on promoting a change agenda focused on three important themes:

Sustainable business	Climate change	Financial citizenship
To drive businesses with a positive impact that foster socio-environmental development.	To ensure that our businesses are prepared for climate challenges, raising awareness and engaging our clients about risks and opportunities.	To promote education and financial inclusion to leverage socioeconomic development.

These strategic objectives are aligned to the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations and incorporate the commitment to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an emphasis on six goals that we prioritize:

4 – Quality education

5 – Gender equality

8 – Decent work and economic growth

9 – Industry, innovation and infrastructure

10 – Reduced inequalities

13 – Climate action

Voluntary commitments

We adhere to internationally recognized business initiatives and voluntary commitments, such as: Global Compact, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Equator Principles, Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI), Principles for Banking Responsibility (PRB), Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), Investors for the Climate (IPC), Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), among others.

We commit to raising awareness and financing of our clients in the transition to a low-carbon economy and adhere to the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), committing to decarbonize our loan and investment portfolios to achieve zero net emissions by 2050.

Social, environmental and climate criteria to business decisions

We seek to incorporate and to constantly improve the analysis of the social, environmental and climate criteria to the business decisions, as well as to the offer of credit, investments and insurance.

Credit

We have a governance structure, comprised of committees, policies, standards and procedures, which is intended to identify, measure, mitigate, monitor and report social, environmental and climate risks. This structure complies with the Central Bank of Brazil’s Resolutions and observes the principles of relevance and proportionality, which are necessary given the complexity of financial products and the profile of our activities.

Following an institutional governance, the area of Socioenvironmental and Climate Risk Analysis and Control conducts processes for the evaluation of operations and clients, formulation of socio-environmental risk rating, and monitoring of activities, according mainly to the scope and criteria indicated in the Social, Environmental and Climate Risk Standard, in addition to the requirements and obligations established by Brazilian laws and regulations.

Investment

Bradesco Asset, in accordance with the guidelines of its Responsible Investment Policy, adopts an analysis methodology that considers Environmental, Social and Governance factors (ESG) for all types of assets under its management. This methodology, applied to both private and public securities, allows a more comprehensive assessment of risks and opportunities, aligning asset management with the principles of sustainability and social responsibility.

For private securities, the methodology takes into account the relevant topics of each sector, identifying the risks and opportunities that companies face. In the case of public securities, indicators are considered that assess regulatory quality and public policies aimed at providing basic services to the population, environmental conservation and reducing social inequality. Thus, Bradesco Asset incorporates socio-environmental aspects in its business, with the aim of providing superior and sustainable returns in the management of its clients’ investments.

In addition, Bradesco Asset strives to engage companies and business partners to adopt best practices in their respective sectors. Annually, it publishes the results of this work in the Transparency Report of Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), to which it is a signatory.

Bradesco Asset offers funds with strategies dedicated to ESG in various modalities, such as variable income, fixed income and fund of funds. Among the local funds, the FIA Corporate Sustainability, with variable income, and the Private Credit Performance SRI 20, with fixed income are featured. In addition, Bradesco Asset has other funds that adopt different active management strategies, combining local and global action strategies, such as the FIC FIA ESG Global BDR Level I and the FIC MM ESG Global.

In 2023, Bradesco Asset managed R$659.2 billion in investment funds, of which R$658.7 billion were evaluated considering ESG issues, representing 99.9% of the total assets.

Insurance

Grupo Bradesco Seguros integrates ESG aspects into its business by offering widely diversified and accessible solutions, products and services, seeking to further our commitment to contribute towards the country’s sustainable development. Therefore, since 2012, Grupo Bradesco Seguros has integrated into its business the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) and its voluntary commitment to the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP-FI), which seeks to continuously evaluate the demand for financial and insurance products that offer adequate solutions to clients, both in order to boost a low-carbon economy and protect clients from the impacts of, or adapt them to, the transformations originating from climate change. The Group also participates as a member of the UNEP-FI Global Steering Committee.

In May 2022, the Group signed the Task Force Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) commitment initiative that seeks to develop and implement recommendations for the dissemination and analysis of risks and opportunities related to climate issues and the way they are managed.

In addition, the Group has its own Sustainability Committee, subject to the Steering Committee of Bradseg Participações S.A., which relies on the participation of the Executive Officers and Superintendents of the companies of the Company. The committee aims to propose strategies and solutions fostering the implementation of sustainability best practices to the activities and business of the Company, of Associates and Subsidiaries, contributing towards their capacity of adding value in the long run. Bradesco Seguros also has an area dedicated to the Socio-environmental and Climate Risk Management, which reports to its Risk Committee and, via the latter, to the Boards of Executive Officers of the business units on the evolution of sustainability risks (social, environmental and related to climate change).

The Group is also governed by its own Sustainability Policy and internal rules on Social and Environmental Responsibility and Socio-environmental Risk, which adopt environmental, social and governance criteria in the monitoring of the processes and operations of the companies of Grupo Bradesco Seguros.

2.1 – General Financial and Equity Conditions

a)

general financial and equity conditions

The Officers of the Organization understand that the Company has all financial and asset conditions to ensure the compliance with obligations, guaranteeing the business expansion in the short- and long-term.

The Officers’ analysis is based on information from the last two financial statements on the balance sheet date in accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards), as follows:

In 2023 we adopted the IFRS 17. The date of transition was January 1, 2023. As a result, the financial statements for the periods ending on December 31, 2023 and 2022 were prepared according to IFRS 17. For more details, see item 2.3.a.

2023

The economic activity remains consistent. The labor market remains vibrant, sustaining income gains above inflation and consumption growth. The GDP ended 2023 with an expansion of 2.9%. This year, we projected a 2.0% advance. The inflation chart is favorable, mainly with the slowdown in service inflation, reinforcing our 3.6% forecast for the IPCA in 2024.

The Copom should maintain SELIC's cuts. We predict that the basic interest rate will end 2024 at 9.5%, completing the cut cycle with an accumulated reduction of 4.25 p.p.

Developed countries have completed the high interest rate cycle. However, the discourse of major central banks does not yet suggest imminent cuts in basic rates. Despite the recent decompression of inflation in the USA and Europe, price change remains above its targets. The gradual deceleration of the economic activity in these regions also does not recommend urgency to begin interest cuts. China, on the other hand, has been recording successive deflations and low economic growth.

In 2023, the net income was R$14.503 billion in the fiscal year, corresponding to a profitability of 8.8% on the average net shareholders’ equity. The return on the average total assets was 0.8%. The consolidated shareholders’ equity attributed to the controlling shareholders reached R$166.331 billion and the total balance of the assets was R$1.928 trillion.

Loan and Fundraising Operations and Resource Management

We expanded and diversified offers in the distribution channels, especially in the digital media, supplemented by the Branch Network and Banking Correspondents. Our capillarity allows us to offer loans and financing directly or through strategic partnerships with various business chains, keeping the focus on improving the customer experience and assessing their real needs.

We are in full operational capability. The policy we have guides management’s actions, which is constantly updated and consistent with the economic reality.

Among the lines, we highlight:

Agribusiness: we are featured among the biggest financiers in this niche. We have 14 Agro Platforms that, distributed throughout Brazil, have agribusiness managers and agronomists specialized in each region. Acting inside and outside the gate, we are present at the main agribusiness fairs in Brazil, maintaining agreements with manufacturers and resales of both inputs and agricultural machinery and implements;

Special Business: solutions in structured operations for wholesale clients, among the largest funders in Emergency Programs, leader in transfer of resources of the BNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development), leader in the leasing market, largest portfolio of securities in the market and market leader in advances to suppliers;

Real Estate Financing: we are one of the most relevant in this market, maintaining a commitment to meet the demand of the sector and our clients, financing both the construction industry and the acquisition of

property by the final borrowers, they have 100% digital hiring for residential properties, including the signing and electronic registration of the contract and digitalization of the processes carried out through real estate partners by means of APIs. We have real estate platforms with coverage throughout the national territory;

For companies: working capital items, advances on receivables and financing of goods focused on small and medium-sized enterprises. With Bradesco Corporate, leader in assets of the Brazilian market for large and medium-sized enterprises, we offer complete solutions for different needs and business sectors; and

Balance of the main portfolios in the fiscal year:

·

R$629.687 billion in 2023, of the reduction of 4.1% compared to 2022, reflecting the decrease in lending to corporate customers that decreased by 10.0% compared to 2022, with emphasis on the decrease of 12.5% in loans (includes working capital, rural credit and others) and 6.2% in financing and transfers (includes import/export financing, real estate, vehicles, BNDES/Finame transfers and Leasing). It is worth mentioning that operations with individuals presented an increase of 0.7% compared to 2022, with highlights for the growth of 1.4% in financing and transfers (including real estate and vehicle financing, BNDES/Finame transfers and others) and a 1.8% in operations with limits (includes credit card and overdraft). The individual segment reflects the quality of the newly selected cohorts of clients, characterized by the concession of products with lower risk profiles, who are inclined to make timely payments, resulting in a volume of overdue entries that is lower than in previous years;

·

R$621.935 billion in client resources, including: cash deposits, savings and term deposits, showing an increase of 5.3% compared to the previous year;

·

R$344.792 billion in technical provisions for insurance and pension, with an evolution of 13.1% compared to the previous year;

·

R$323.423 billion in financial institution resources, an increase of 14.7% compared to the previous year, including: demand deposits, interfinancial, funds obtained funds on the open market and bonds for loans and transfers;

·

R$50.338 billion in subordinated debts, reduction of 3.6% compared to the previous year, comprising higher volume of settlement and interest payments; and

·

R$244.966 billion in securities issuance resources, of which R$237.598 billion is issued in the country and R$7.368 billion is issued abroad.

By the end of 2023, the market value of Bradesco, considering the closing prices of the common and preferred shares at B3, totaled R$172.2 billion, representing 1.1 times the shareholders’ equity.

The following are our key indicators:

It is important to highlight that the comments, in relation to the return on average shareholders’ equity (ROAE) and the return on average assets (ROAA), are presented in item 2.1.h. Other analyses that are relevant to our financial and economic conditions related to liquidity sources and levels of indebtedness are presented in items 2.1.d, 2.1.e, 2.1.f and 2.1.h.

In 2023, the operational coverage ratio decreased by 1.7 p.p. compared to 2022, due to the increase in our personnel expenses – given the effect of the collective bargaining agreements – and by the reduction of the net income of services and commissions, especially checking accounts and collection.

Regarding the variations presented for fee and commission income, payroll and related benefits and administrative expenses comments are included in item 2.1.h.

Indicators of loans and overdue advance payments and expected loss from loans and advance payments

We will only use some of these indicators to monitor and support the decision-making process in relation to the loan operations and advance payments.

The following tables show a summary of our loans and advances indicators:

(2) It does not include revenues with credit recovery worth R$4,673 million in 2023 (R$5,871 million in 2022) in BR GAAP they are allocated under Other Operating Revenues, while in IFRS they are allocated under Expenses with Expected Losses.

In 2023, our expected loss on loans and advances increased by 14.5%, reflecting the prevailing economic conditions (inflation and volatility in interest rates) during this credit cycle and higher expenses with clients in the wholesale segment. We note that our expected loss expenses continue to be concentrated in older cohorts, while more recent credit cohorts show positive performance, since it is a concession policy focused on lower-risk operations and, consequently, lower expected loss expenses, in line with the new strategies implemented. Our level of credit losses, net of recoveries, reached 5.6% of the average balance of loans and advances to clients in 2023 (2.0% in 2022).

We had a provision for expected losses on loans and advances amounting to R$53,662 million in 2023, reaching a coverage ratio of loans over 90 days of 164.6% (209.4% in 2022) and over 60 days of 140.3% (172.8% in 2022).

Our loan portfolio and advances to clients reduced 4.1%, going from R$629,687 million, in 2023 from R$656,867 million in 2022, a reflection of the reduction of operations with clients corporate that showed a decrease of 10.0% compared to 2022, with emphasis on the decrease of 12.5% in loans (includes working capital, rural loans and others) and 6.2% in financing and transfers (includes import/export financing, real estate, vehicles, BNDES/Finame transfers and Leasing). It is worth mentioning that operations with individuals presented an increase of 0.7% compared to 2022, with highlights for the growth of 1.4% in financing and transfers (including real estate and vehicle financing, BNDES/Finame transfers and others) and a 1.8% in operations with limits (includes credit card and overdraft). The individual segment reflects the quality of the newly selected cohorts of clients, characterized by the concession of products with lower risk profiles, who are inclined to make timely payments, resulting in a volume of overdue entries that is lower than in previous years.

b)

capital structure

Analyzing the following tables, we understand that the bank’s current capital structure is adequate and consistent with our business expansion strategy. The largest funding source for our operations is from third-party capital.

Over the last two years, Bradesco has kept its proportion of capital held by third parties over 90%, which is seen as a normal level for institutions in the financial intermediation business.

Basel Ratio

Brazilian financial institutions are subject to methodology for capital metrics and levels based on a risk-weighted asset index. The parameters of this methodology resemble the international framework for minimum capital measurements adopted for the Basel Accord.

The calculation of our Basel Ratio is shown below:

c)

capacity to pay financial commitments

The Officers understand that the operations shown in the balance sheet by terms, presented below for the last fiscal year, show that Bradesco has a comfortable liquidity margin to honor its obligations in the short-term. It is worth highlighting that the management policy is regularly reviewed to ensure sufficient liquidity to honor withdrawals, deposits, repay other obligations at maturity, extend loans or other forms of credit to its clients and meet its own needs of working capital for investment.

The following table shows the financial assets and liabilities of the Organization segregated by maturities used for the management of liquidity risks, in accordance with the remaining contractual maturities on the date of the consolidated financial statements:

financing sources used for working capital and investments in non-current assets

Principal Sources of Funding (in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS)

Our general policy on asset and liability management is to manage interest rate, liquidity, foreign exchange and maturity risks in order to maximize our net interest income and our return on assets and equity, in light of our internal risk management policies, and maintain adequate levels of liquidity and capital.

As part of our asset and liability management, we seek to avoid material mismatches between assets and liabilities by matching, to the extent possible, the maturity, currency and interest rate structure of loans we make with terms of the transactions under which we fund these loans. Subject to our policy constraints and the limits established by our Board of Directors, we occasionally take mismatched positions in relation to interest rates, maturities and, in more limited circumstances, foreign currencies, when we believe such positions are justified in view of market conditions and prospects.

We monitor our asset and liability positions in accordance with Central Bank of Brazil requirements and guidelines. Our Executive Treasury Committee for the Asset and Liability Management meets every two weeks to:

·

evaluate action strategies relating to asset and liability management, within the limits established, based on an analysis of the political-economic scenarios, at national and international level;

·

monitor and countersign the pricing strategies of asset, liability and derivative operations with our clients;

·

define internal prices of transfer of resources (Funds Transfer Price – FTP) of liabilities and assets in local and foreign currency;

·

approve the proposal on the limit of tolerance for exposure to risks to be submitted to the approval of the COGIRAC and the Board of Directors; and

·

monitor and countersign results, strategies, behaviors and risks of mismatch and indexes maintained by us and managed by our Treasury Department.

In making such decisions, we evaluate not only our exposure limits for each market segment and product, but also market volatility levels and the extent to which we are exposed to market risk through interest, maturity, liquidity and currency mismatches. We also consider other potential risks, as well as market liquidity, our institutional needs and perceived opportunities for gains. Our Executive Treasury Committee for the Asset and Liability Management holds extraordinary meetings as required in response to unexpected macroeconomic changes.

In addition, we receive daily reports on our mismatched and open positions, while our Executive Treasury Committee for the Asset and Liability Management assesses our risk position every two weeks.

The following table shows, as of the dates indicated, our sources of funding, as well as other non-interest-bearing liabilities:

Deposits

Our principal source of funding is deposits from individuals and legal entities in Brazil. As of December 31, 2023, our deposits totaled R$625.8 billion, representing 35.5% of our total liabilities.

We provide the following types of deposit and registration accounts:

·

checking accounts;

·

savings accounts;

·

time deposits;

·

interbank deposits from financial institutions;

·

accounts for salary purposes; and

·

accounts for payment of the INSS benefit.

Funding in the open market

Funding in the open market consists mainly of funds we obtained from banks in the market by selling securities with agreements to repurchase.

The majority of these financial assets subject to repurchase agreements are guaranteed by Brazilian government securities. This type of transactions is generally short-term (normally intraday or overnight) and are volatile in terms of volume once directly impacted by market liquidity. We believe that the risks associated with these transactions are low, given the quality of the collateral assets. In addition, repurchase transactions are subject to operating limits of capital based on the equity of the financial institution, adjusted in accordance with Central Bank of Brazil regulations. A financial institution may only make repurchase transactions at a value of up to 30 times its RE, a limit we comply with. The limits on repurchase transactions involve securities issued by Brazilian government authorities and vary according to the type of security involved in the transaction, and the perceived risk of the issuer as established by the Central Bank of Brazil.

Loans and onlending

The obligations for loans are constituted, mainly, with the funding of lines obtained from banking correspondents for import and export financing. Our access to this source of resources has been continuous and the funds occur with rates and terms according to market conditions.

The obligations for onlending consist in resources for local transfers, in which we borrow from entities and national government agencies for onlending to Brazilian companies, for investments in installations, equipment, agriculture, among others.

We conduct onlending transactions where we act as the transfer agent for development agency funds, granting credits to third parties, which are in turn funded by development organizations (BNDES, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or IBRD and the Inter-American Development Bank or IDB) which are the principal providers of these funds. The lending criteria, the decision to lend and the credit risk are our responsibility and subject to certain limitations set by the bodies supplying the funds.

Funds from securities issued

Funds obtained from our securities issued originate mainly from the following operations:

·

Financial notes: fixed income securities issued by us with the purpose of raising funds, from individuals and legal entities, in the long-term, given that they have a maturity exceeding two years. On the other hand, they offer investors better profitability than other financial investments with daily liquidity or with shorter period of maturity, which are divided into two modalities:

o

Simple: consists in the promise of payment in nominative, transferable cash and in this way, it can be negotiated on the secondary market; and

o

Subordinated: with initial investment and longer deadlines than the simple modality, it is used to reinforce our capital, in which, in the event of dissolution of the institution, the payment to investors shall be conditional upon the settlement of other commitments and obligations of payment, and is therefore recommended for Qualified Investors.

·

Letters of credit for real estate: securities for Individuals that are backed by real estate credits guaranteed by mortgages or by chattel, giving their borrowers the right of credit at nominal value, interest or monetary restatement;

·

Letters of credit for agribusiness: security issued by us, intended for individuals, which are tied to credit rights of business conducted with rural producers or their cooperatives; and

·

Letters of credit guaranteed by property: we have performed these operations since 2018, by issuing transferable nominative bonds, and of freely negotiable title, guaranteed by the portfolio of assets subject to the fiduciary system.

The following table presents a summary of our resources regarding the issuing of securities concerning the periods indicated:

The increase of 10.2% compared to 2022, was due to the evolution of financial bills in the value of R$11,655 million, agribusiness bills in the value of R$8,887 million and real estate bonds in the value of R$5,854 million.

Subordinated debt

The variation in the balance of subordinated debts (2023 vs. 2022), reflects the issues / maturities of debts in the periods.

Technical reserves

The variation presented in the balances of 2023 vs. 2022 is related, mainly, to the variations of the provisions for VGBL / PGBL products.

e)

financing sources for working capital and investments in non-current assets that it intends to use to cover liquidity deficits

Our Treasury Department acts as a support center for our different business segments by managing our funding and liquidity positions and executing our investment objectives in accordance with our asset and liability management policies. We are also responsible for setting rates for our different products, including exchange and interbank transactions. Our Treasury Department covers any funding shortfall by borrowing in the interbank market. It seeks to maximize efficient use of our deposit base by investing any surpluses in liquid instruments in the interbank market.

We have used our excess liquidity to invest in Brazilian government securities and expect to continue doing so, subject to regulatory requirements and investment considerations. Our main sources of funding are:

·

demand deposits, savings and time deposits, as well as interfinancial deposits; and

·

open-market borrowing, loan bonds and onlending operations, resources from issuing of securities and subordinated debts, part of them expressed in foreign currencies.

Our capital market operations act as a source of resources, through our operations with financial institutions, mutual funds, fixed and variable income investment funds, and foreign investment funds.

In relation to liquidity risk, in 2015 the National Monetary Council (CMN) issued Resolution No. 4,401/15, as amended, addressing the definition and minimum limits of the LCR, which is defined as the ratio of the reserve of high liquidity assets to the total cash outflows foreseen for a 30-day period, under stress conditions. The main purpose of the LCR is to ensure the existence of a minimum number of net assets in normal market conditions to be used in periods of higher shortage or necessary liquidity in order to maintain

the business ongoing and insure the stability of the financial system. In 2017, the CMN and the Central Bank of Brazil published Resolution No. 4,616/17 and Circular No. 3,869/17 about the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which establish, respectively, the minimum limit/compliance conditions and the methodology for calculation and disclosure of information to the market. In order to determine minimum requirements for quantitative liquidity of financial institutions, Basel III proposes two liquidity ratios: a short-term (LCR) and a long-term one (NSFR). The purpose of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is to show that institutions maintain sufficient high-liquidity funds to withstand a one-month financial stress scenario. The purpose of the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is to encourage institutions to finance their activities from more stable sources of funding, setting forth the requirement of a ratio of more than 100% for the LCR and NSFR from January 2019 and 2018, respectively. On January 1, 2020, Circular No. 3,930/19 of the Central Bank of Brazil, which deals with the Pillar 3 Report and revoked part of Circular No. 3,869/17, concerning the disclosure of NSFR information, was revoked by Resolution BCB No. 54/20, which passed disciplinary action on the publication of the Pillar 3 Report. As a result of the unfolding of the Covid-19, the Central Bank of Brazil edited Circular No. 3,749/15, amending the limit of the amount of the total reserve requirements collected in the Central Bank of Brazil, not considered in portions of (i) free reserves or for release in central banks within the next thirty days; (ii) reserve requirements collected in the Central Bank of Brazil, concerning savings deposits and demand deposits, limited to the total amount of estimated cash outflows for each one of these modalities and (iii) other reserve requirements collected in the Central Bank of Brazil, limited to the amount to be returned to the institution as a result of the defined outflow, from 15% to 30% of total assets of Tier 1 capital of the institution in Brazil.

The Central Bank of Brazil, in February 2020 published Circulars No. 3,986/20 and No. 3,987/20 and, in March 2020, Circular No. 3,993/20 which reduced the compulsory deposit rate on time deposits from 31% to 17% and allowed the use of 30%, instead of 15%, of the amount of compulsory reserves deposited in the Central Bank of Brazil in the calculation of the LCR. Subsequently, BCB Resolution No. 78/21 of the Central Bank of Brazil of March 2021, redefined the validity of the rate of compulsory deposits on term deposits of 17% until November 2021, when it returned to 20%. However, in November 2021, through BCB Resolution No. 145/21, the Central Bank of Brazil allowed the compensation of up to 3% of the calculation base of the compulsory deposit on term deposits with the value of the bank’s total financial limit on the bank’s forward liquidity lines of the Central Bank of Brazil (this limit is generated by the deposit of private securities in guarantee). These measures and others of lower impact resulted in response to the facts resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

From the implementation of the New Brazilian Payment System in April 2002, the Central Bank of Brazil has offered a credit line from the portfolio of government securities issued by the National Treasury to provide liquidity to financial institutions, which is defined as re-discount (or “Redesconto”). This line can be used in the “intra-day” condition, or for a longer term negotiated with the Central Bank of Brazil, which discloses the differentiated prices for the acceptance of these securities as collateral.

There is also a traditional re-discount line, where financial institutions offer assets represented by loan operations or illiquid securities. In this case, the institution will open formal proceedings with the Central Bank of Brazil, presenting the reasons for the request, projected cash flow, liquidity recovery plan, as well as detailing the assets to be re-discounted and the proposed payment flow to the Central Bank of Brazil.

The Central Bank of Brazil, upon analysis, will decide whether or not to release the liquidity line, costs, and other measures deemed necessary.

We have never used these liquidity resources.

f)

indebtedness ratios and the characteristics of the debts, also describing: (i) relevant loan and financing agreements; (ii) other long-term relationships with financial institutions; (iii) level of subordination between debts; (iv) any restrictions imposed on the issuer, in particular in relation to limits for indebtedness and contracting new debts, to the distribution of dividends, disposal of assets, issue of new securities and disposal of shareholding control, as well as if the issuer is in accordance with the restrictions

There are no loan and financing agreements or long-term relationships with financial institutions that we believe are relevant.

Financial institutions are subject to operating limits defined by the National Monetary Council and the Central Bank of Brazil for operating, according to provisions of the regulations in force, particularly Law No. 4,595/64, which sets forth the National Financial System.

Among the limits defined, noteworthy are as follows (i) Reference Equity consistent with the risks of its activity; (ii) fixed assets, which limits to 50% of the Reference Equity amount the total funds invested in Permanent Assets; (iii) exposure by client, which sets forth the maximum limit of 25% of the Tier I amount of Reference Equity for exposure by client; (iv) exposure in gold, foreign currency and in operations subject to foreign exchange variation, limited to 30% of the Reference Equity amount; and (v) minimum limits of realized capital and shareholders’ equity for operating.

Rules also bar financial institutions from carrying out certain operations, and noteworthy are as follows: (i) granting loans or advances to related companies, managers and relatives, and (ii) acquiring real estate not intended for own use.

g)

limits of contracted financing and percentages already used

There are no limits for the use of contracted financing.

In 2023, the total assets increased by 7.7% compared to 2022, the financial assets totaled R$1,768 billion, representing 91.7% of the total assets, driven by the increase in our loans and advances to financial institutions, net of loss provision; financial assets at fair value through income; and cash and cash available in banks.

§

Loans and advances to financial institutions, net of provision for losses – in 2023, the balance reached R$205,103 million, a growth of 67.4% compared to 2022, resulting from an increase of R$77,545 million in repo operations. In 2023, it included investments in repo operations given in guarantee, in the amount of R$127,843 million;

§

Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income – the 28.4% increase between the 2023 and 2022 balances resulted from the increase in the portfolio of Brazilian public securities.

§

Cash and balances with banks – in 2023 the balance evolved 23.3% compared to 2022, highlighting the growth of R$47,617 million in interfinancial liquidity investments.

Next, we will comment on the main reasons that influenced our lines of results in the comparison of the last fiscal year.

Interest and similar income

Our interest and similar income increased by R$10,845 million, or 5.4%, in 2023 compared to 2022, due to the growth in the average volume of interest-bearing assets, which had a positive impact on our revenues of R$14,837 million, being partially offset by the reduction in the rates of our interest yielding assets, reflecting the decrease in the SELIC rate from 13.75% in 2022 to 11.75% in 2023, in addition to the changes in other economic-financial indices, such as inflation, which decreased our revenues by R$3,992 million.

Interest and similar expenses

Our interest and similar expenses in 2023 increased by R$25,574 million, or 19.6%, compared to 2022, due to the increase in the average volume of funding, which increased expenses by R$12,381 million and, in addition, there was an increase in the average interest rate paid, increasing our interest and similar expenses by R$13,193 million, a significant component of which related to time deposits whose interest and similar expenses increased by R$7,633.

Fee and commission income

Our net fee and commission income decreased by R$167 million, or 0.6%, in 2023 compared to 2022, reflecting the decrease in revenues with: (i) checking accounts (a decrease of R$678 million or 8.8%); (ii) collection and revenues (a decrease of R$144 million or 6.3%); and custody and brokerage (a decrease of R$86 million or 6.5%), all these reductions are influenced by our portfolio adjustment strategy, which includes products exempt from fees to align with market trends and customer demand for more accessible services, in addition to being part of the strategy to attract and retain customers, being partially offset by increased revenues from: (i) credit cards (an increase of R$381 million or 4.2%), reflecting the increase in the number of transactions carried out; (ii) fund management fees (an increase of R$228 million or 18.2%); and (iii) capital market/financial advisory services (an increase of R$190 million or 18.4%).

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Our net gains from financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, increased by R$10,077 million, reaching the amount of R$10,896 million in 2023 compared to R$819 million in 2022, due to the higher result from investments in securities primarily: (i) fixed income, totaling a gain of R$7,307 million in 2023, compared to a loss of R$1,195 million in 2022, due to the increase of R$72,048 million, or 34.2%, in investments Brazilian government bonds in 2023; and (ii) equity totaling a gain of R$1,555 million in 2023, compared to a loss of R$177 million in 2022.

Gross profit from insurance and pension plans

Our gross profit from insurance and pension plans for 2023 increased by R$1,204 million, or 29.8%, compared to 2022, due to the increase in insurance and pension income (an increase of R$7,007 million or +15.8%), with consequent movement of premiums issued and increased contribution from pension plans ( including VGBL) partially offset by the increase in insurance and pension expenses (an increase of R$4,881 million or +14.4%).

Expected loss on loans and advances

Our expense with expected loss on loans and advances for 2023 increased by R$3,831 million, or 14.5%, compared to 2022, driven by higher expected loss for the wholesale segment, being partially offset by a decrease in retail expenses.

Expected loss on other financial assets

Our expense with expected loss on other financial assets for 2023 increased by R$4,519 million compared to 2022, driven by higher expected loss on financial assets at amortized cost in 2023, due to the growth of expenses from newly originated/purchased assets. In 2022, the reversals of expected loss on financial assets reflected the reassessment of amounts to be received from some specific large corporate clients.

Personnel expenses

Our personnel expenses for 2023 increased by R$925 million, or 4.7%, compared to 2022, as a result of increased expenses with payroll and social security charges of 6.5% and benefits of 5.3%, reflecting the collective bargaining agreement that takes effect from September of each year, with a 4.58% increase in salaries and benefits agreed in 2023 (8% in salaries and 10% in benefits in 2022).

Other Administrative Expenses

Our other administrative expenses for 2023 decreased by R$288 million, or 1.7%, compared to 2022, reflecting our control of expenses and focus on operational efficiency.

Income tax and social contribution

The following table reflects, on a consolidated basis, the breakdown of our income tax and social contribution charges:

 

	R$ in thousands, except %
Consolidado	2023	2022
Income before incomes taxes	10,208,351	24,621,610
Total burden of income tax and social contribution at the current rates	(4,593,758)	(11,079,725)
Effect of additions and exclusions in the tax calculation:
Earnings (losses) of associates and joint ventures	945,756	610,167
Interest on shareholders’ equity	5,089,859	4,577,308
Other amounts (1)	2,852,557	2,727,410
Income tax benefit / (expense)	4,294,414	(3,164,840)
Effective rate	(42.1%)	12.9%

(1) Primarily, includes: (i) the equalization of the effective rate of financial companies except banks, insurance companies and non-financial companies, in relation to that shown; and (ii) the incentivized deductions.

The variation in our income tax and social contribution is largely related to the decrease in income before income tax and social contribution (taxable base), in addition to the higher amount of the JCP (Interest on Shareholders’ Equity) benefit.

(1) Consisting of Loan and Leasing Operations.

Revenues from financial assets account for 73.0% of the main operating revenues and growth of 5.4% in the comparison to 2022, reflecting higher revenues, advance payments to financial institutions and to mandatory Deposits in the Central Bank of Brazil, offset, partly, by the reduction of the financial assets.

The following are the main variations presented in the periods:

§

Loans and advances to Financial Institutions – the increase of R$11,170 million or 65.1%, was benefited by the increase of the average balance, which went from R$90,524 million, in 2022, to R$150,828 million, in 2023, impacting the revenue by R$11,326 million, offsetting the growth, partly, by the reduction of the fixing rate, with an impact of R$156 million;

§

Loans and Advances to Clients – The revenues, showed an increase of R$1,451 million or 1.4% in comparison to 2022, benefited by the increase of the average rate of interest earned, which went from 15.9% in 2022 to 16.0% in 2023, increasing the revenue by R$1,705 million;

§

Compulsory deposits in the Central Bank of Brazil – reached R$ 9,943 million, a growth of 20.9% compared to 2022. This increase is related to the growth of 14.8% in the average volume of these assets, contributing positively to our revenue by R$ 1,268 million; and

§

Financial Assets – experienced a decrease of R$3,505 million or 4.7%:

o

At fair value through other comprehensive income – The revenues decreased by R$ 12,395 million or 42.3%, this fall was influenced by the decrease in the average interest rate, which fell from 15.5% in 2022 to 8.4% in 2023. However, part of this loss was offset by the increase in the average balance, which positively impacted our revenue by R$ 1,636 million; and

o

Financial assets at amortized cost – The revenues, showed an increase of R$9,750 million or 62.8% in comparison to 2022, this increase was a reflection of the average fixing interest rate that grew from 7.7% in 2022 to 13.7% in 2023, which impacted our revenue in R$11,105 million. However, part of this growth was offset by the reduction of the average balance, with an impact of R$1,354 thousand.

ii) factors that materially affected the operating income.

There were no factors that materially affected the operating income of the company in the last fiscal year, in addition to those described in items 2.1.h and 2.2.a.i.

b)     relevant revenue variations attributable to the introduction of new products and services, changes in volumes and prices, exchange rates, and inflation

No significant variations in revenues, as well as in our financial income, attributable to changes in prices of our main inputs and products, exchange rates, inflation, volume change or addition of new products and services, occurred in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

c)     relevant impact of inflation, the price variation of the main inputs and products, foreign exchange and interest rate in operating income and financial income of the issuer

During periods of high interest rates, our financial revenue increases because the interest rates on our assets that yield interest also increase. At the same time, our financial expense increases, since interest rates on our obligations, in which interests apply, also increase. Changes in the volumes of our assets, and obligations on which interests apply, also affect our financial revenues and expenses. For example, an increase in financial revenues attributable to an increase in interest rates may be offset by a reduction in the volume of our outstanding loans.

In addition to this, when the real devalues, we incur: (i) losses in our liabilities denominated in, or indexed to foreign currencies, such as: our long-term debt denominated in dollars and foreign currency loans, to the extent that the cost in real financial expenditure increases; and (ii) earnings in our assets denominated or indexed in foreign currencies, such as: our securities and loan and advance operations that are indexed to the dollar, when the revenue of these assets measured in real increases. In turn, when the real devalues, we incur: (i) losses on assets denominated in/or indexed to foreign currencies; and (ii) gains in our liabilities denominated in/or indexed to foreign currency.

2.3 – Officers must comment on changes in accounting practices

Officers must comment on:

a)

changes in accounting practices that have resulted in significant effects on the information provided in fields 2.1 and 2.2

The requirements of the Central Bank of Brazil and the CMN, introducing international accounting standards (IFRSs) in financial institutions, made these institutions prepare annual financial statements in the international standard as of 2010.

IFRSs are issued by the IASB – International Accounting Standards Board that has a periodic agenda of improvement of the standards issued.

In 2023, there was an amendment of the accounting standards regarding the insurance sector concerning the IFRS 17, whose impacts resulting from its adoption must be recognized retrospectively, based on the full retrospective approach, unless impracticable, in which case the modified retrospective approach or fair value approach can be used. However, if the entity does not have reasonable and supportable information to measure the contracts under the modified retrospective approach, it should use the fair value approach.

The Organization has determined that the full retrospective approach was adopted for insurance contracts measured under the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA).

For contracts measured under the General Measurement Model (GMM/BBA), the Organization has determined to use the fair value transition approach for contract cohorts in the following portfolios: Life Capitalization, Defined Benefit Retirement, Traditional Retirement, and Long-Term Non-Life – Housing issued until 2017; for Individual Health and Long-Term Non-Life – Consortium portfolios issued until 2018; for Long-Term Risk Life portfolios until 2019, and for Individual Dental Health portfolios until 2020. The complete retrospective transition approach will be used for contract cohorts issued after those dates. For contracts using the Model of Variable Fee Approach (VFA), the fair value transition approach is used for cohorts issued until 2019, and the complete retrospective transition approach is used for contract cohorts issued after this date. The decision to use the fair value approach was based on the unavailability of information at the necessary granularity for the use of the complete retrospective transition approach in these portfolios.

Under the fair value approach, the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) at the transition date represents the difference between the fair value determined by the Organization and the fulfillment cash flows, which are a risk-adjusted, explicit, unbiased, and probability-weighted estimate of the present value of future cash flows that will arise as the entity fulfills the contracts.

According to the standard, a company can reassess the current designation of its assets measured in accordance with IFRS 9, at the initial application date of IFRS 17, if these assets are related to insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 17. This redesignation is based on a change in the business model of the asset obtained through the test of Paying Only the Principal and Interest (SPPI) to protect the company from the financial effects of this new standard.

The Organization evaluated the effects of IFRS 17, particularly those related to changes in the discount rate applied, and reassessed its related asset business model.

The reassessment results from a reclassification of the business model among assets used to protect the Life and Pension and Health portfolios. In this reclassification, the Organization decreased the value of assets measured at Amortized Cost and increased the value of assets measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (VJORA). The main reason for this reclassification is the change in the methodology for valuing insurance liabilities, which now aligns their discounts with market rates.

In 2022, there were no changes to accounting practices.

b)

modified opinions and emphasis present in the auditor’s report

There were no caveats and no emphasis in the independent auditors’ report.

2.7 – Officers must comment on the destination of the corporate income

	Income Allocation
A) Rules on withholding profits	Legal reserve The allocation of a portion of the net income, for legal reserves, is set out by Article 193 of Law No. 6,404/76 and is intended to ensure the integrity of the share capital, and may only be used to offset losses or to increase capital. The net income for the year, five percent (5%), shall be applied before any other allocation, in the constitution of the legal reserve, which shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the share capital. The legal reserve may no longer be constituted in the year in which the balance of this reserve, increased by the amount of the capital reserves provided for in paragraph 1 of Article 182, exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the share capital. Statutory Reserves Article 194 of Law No. 6,404/76 regulates the creation of statutory reserves. Pursuant to such legal document, the Company’s bylaws may create reserves based on the following specific conditions: - the purpose is accurately and completely indicated; - the criteria for determining the portion of annual net income that will be allocated for its constitution is established; and - the maximum reserve limit is set. Pursuant to applicable laws, Article 28 of the Bylaws sets out that the balance of the net income, after every statutory allocation, will have the allocation proposed by the Board of Executive Officers, approved by the Board of Directors and deliberated in the Shareholders’ Meeting, and one hundred percent (100%) of this balance may be allocated to the Profits Reserves – Statutory, aimed at keeping the operating margin compatible with the development of active operations of the Company, up to the limit of ninety-five percent (95%) of the value of the paid-in share capital. In case a proposal by the Board of Executive Officers, on the allocation of the net income for the year, includes the payout of dividends and/or the payment of interest on own capital in an amount greater than the mandatory dividend established in Article 27, item III, of the bylaws, and/or the withholding of profits in accordance with Article 196 of Law No. 6,404/76, the balance of net income for purposes of constituting this reserve will be determined after the full deduction of these allocations.
Amounts referring to the Withholding of Profits	(R$ thousand)	2023	2022
	Net Income for the Year	15,121,802	20,732,172
	Legal Reserve	756,090	1,036,608
	Statutory Reserves	3,054,908	9,523,402
	Gross Interest on Own Capital	11,310,804	10,172,162

B) Rules on Dividends and/or Interest on Own Capital payouts

With the advent of Law No. 9,249/95, which entered into force on January 1, 1996, companies can pay interest on own capital, to be imputed, net of withholding income tax, to the amount of the minimum mandatory dividend. Minimum Mandatory Dividend In accordance with item III of Article 27 of Bradesco’s Bylaws, shareholders are entitled to thirty percent (30%) of the net income as minimum mandatory dividends, in each fiscal year, adjusted by reducing or increasing the values specified in items I, II and III of Article 202 of Law No. 6,404/76 (Brazilian Corporate Act). Therefore, the minimum percentage of thirty percent (30%), established in the Bylaws, is above the minimum percentage of twenty-five percent (25%), which is established in paragraph 2 of Article 202 of Law No. 6,404/76. Shareholders Holding Preferred Shares Preferred shares grant their holders dividends of ten percent (10%) higher than those that are attributed to common shares (letter “b” of paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the corporate Bylaws). Re-Application of Dividends or Interest on Own Capital The re-application of Dividends and/or Interest on Own Capital is a product that allows Bradesco’s depositor shareholders, registered in the Bradesco Corretora (Broker), either individuals or legal entities, to invest the amount received, credited to checking accounts, in new shares (currently only for preferred shares), thereby increasing shareholding interest. Shareholders have the option of re-applying the monthly and/or special (complementary and intermediary) dividends. There is no ceiling for this re-application and the minimum limit should be enough for the acquisition of at least one (1) share.

C) Frequency of Dividends and/or Interest on Own Capital payouts

Bradesco distributes Dividends and/or Interest on Own Capital (from January 1, 1996 with the advent of Law No. 9,249/95) monthly since 1970, constituting the Brazilian financial institution as pioneer in adopting this practice. Interim Dividends The Board of Executive Officers, upon approval by the Board of Directors, is authorized to declare and pay interim dividends, twice a year or on a monthly basis, to the existing Accrued Profits or Profit Reserves accounts (Article 27, paragraph 1 of the Bylaws). They may also authorize the distribution of Interest on Own Capital to replace interim dividends, either integrally or partially (Article 27, paragraph 2 of the Bylaws). Systematic Monthly Payment of Dividends and/or Interest on Own Capital For the purposes set out in Article 205 of Law No. 6,404/76, shareholders that are entered into the records of the Company on the date of the statement, which occurs on the first business day of each month, shall be deemed beneficiaries. Payments are made on the first business day of the subsequent month, one month in advance of the mandatory dividend, by credit into the account that has been informed by the shareholder or provided to the Company.

D) Any restrictions on the distribution of dividends, imposed by special laws or regulations applicable to the issuer, as well as contracts, judicial or administrative decisions or arbitration.

There are no restrictions on the distribution of dividends.

E) If the issuer has a policy of destination of results formally approved, they should inform the body responsible for the approval, the date of approval and, if the issuer discloses the policy, the locations on the global computer network where the document can be consulted

The Company has a document entitled “Practices for the Payment of Dividends and/or Interest on Own Capital of Banco Bradesco S.A.” approved by the Board of Directors on April 1, 2015 and publicly available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM) (www.cvm.gov.br), of B3 S.A. – Brazilian Exchange & OTC (www.b3.com.br) and on the Company’s Investor Relations website (www.bradescori.com.br), which establishes, among other aspects, the periodicity for the payment of dividends and the parameter of reference to be used to define the amount that will be distributed. In the specific case of Bradesco, the Company establishes the payment of dividends and/or interest on own capital on a monthly basis.

The financial guarantees are conditional commitments of loans which are issued to guarantee the performance of a client before a third party. According to these guarantees, generally, we have the right of recourse against the client to recover any paid amounts. In addition to this, we retain resources in cash or other guarantees of high liquidity to ensure these commitments

The contracts are subject to the same credit evaluations as in other loan operations. Standby letters of credit are issued, primarily to endorse public and private debt issue agreements including commercial paper, securities financing and similar transactions. The standby letters of credit are subject to client credit evaluation by the Management.

The letters of credit are undertakings which are issued to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. We issue business letters of credit to enable foreign trade transactions. These instruments are short-term commitments to pay the beneficiary of a third party under certain contractual conditions for the shipment of products. The contracts are subject to the same credit assessments applied in other credit concessions.

 

2.9 – Comments on other items not evidenced in the financial statements

For each of the items that are not evidenced in the financial statements listed in item 2.8, officers must comment on:

a)     how such items are likely to alter or change the income, expenses, operating income, financial expenses or other items of the financial statements of the issuer

As described in item 2.8, we inform that, with regard to the guarantees provided and the letters of credit for importation, the issuer receives a rate or a commission on the operation that sensitizes the revenue and consequently the operational income. If a problem occurs relating to a client’s capacity to make a payment, there may be the need for the constitution of provisions. Now, regarding the commitments of credit values to be released, there will only be an impact on the lines of income, if clients use these lines of credit.

b)     nature and purpose of the operation

Information disclosed in item 2.8.

c)     nature and amount of the obligations assumed and rights generated in favor of the issuer as a result of the operation

These expenditures encompass both internal systems and systems that directly impact our clients.

Below, we present the total IT expenses for the past two years:

		R$ million
	2023	2022

d)     opportunities included in the issuer’s business plan related to ESG issues

As expressed in its corporate purpose, the Organization is committed to sustainable development and the generation of shared value for investors, employees, suppliers, clients, regulatory agencies and society, through business and operations.

We recognize that the management of environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG) is crucial to our long-term sustainability and success. Following the guidelines of our Standard for Social, Environmental and Climate Responsibility (PRSAC), we consider ESG issues in the integration of risks and opportunities of the Organization.

Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our corporate strategy, which guides our actions in promoting a change agenda, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and focusing on three main themes: Sustainable Business, Climate Agenda and Financial Citizenship.

In the Sustainable Business front, we seek to boost businesses that foster socio-environmental development. In 2021, we announced the goal of allocating R$250 billion by 2025 to sectors and assets with positive socio-environmental impact. This goal includes credit concession for positive contribution activities, classified according to internal methodology based on Febraban’s taxonomy, financial products and services with a socio-environmental focus and advice on structuring credit and debt solutions linked to ESG criteria.

By December 2023, R$227 billion, that is, 90.8% of the total resources destined to this goal had already been allocated.

In 2023, we entered into a Strategic partnership with the IFC - International Finance Corporation to raise US$250 million, with the aim of expanding the funding to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises inserted in the concept of the Local Productive Arrangements Program – APLs, with a focus on creative economy in the North and Northeast regions.

On the climate agenda, we are committed to raising awareness and financing of our clients in the transition to a greener, more inclusive low-carbon economy. To strengthen this performance, we joined the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, assuming the commitment with the decarbonization of our loan and investment portfolios, to achieve zero net emissions by 2050.

3.2 – Monitoring and changes to the disclosed projections

The projections and estimates used in this item have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which are applicable to institutions that are authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil.

a)     Changes or replacement of projections

From 2023 onwards, the “Client NII” indicator will be analyzed as “Net Interest Income, which includes the Client NII and the Market NII.

b)     Projections concerning past periods – Forecast vs. Realized

In accordance with the CVM Resolution No. 80, for this item, it has been established that, with regard to projections concerning past periods, comparisons between the projected data and those realized are to be disclosed. Below are the projected and realized data relating to the fiscal years of 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Projections for 2023

Indicators	Observed	Estimated
Expanded Loan Portfolio	(1.6%)	1% to 5%
Net Interest Income	(1.8%)	2% to 6%
Fee and Commission Income	(0.1%)	2% to 6%
Operational Expenses (Personnel and Administrative Expenses+ Other Operating Expenses)	10.4%	7% to 11%
Income from Insurance, Pension and Capitalization Bond Operations	21.1%	21% to 25%
Expanded Loan Loss Provisions	R$39.5 bi	R$36.5 bi to R$39.5 bi

Reasons for deviations in the projections:

·

Expanded Loan Portfolio - The lower-than-expected growth of the loan portfolio was mainly due to the implementation of more restrictive credit policies with the aim of controlling default, which reached its peak in terms of 90-day NPL in 2Q23. After controlling default, the bank gradually resumed credit origination, impacting the formation of the expanded portfolio. This recovery is reflected in the 2024 guidance, which points to growth in the expanded loan portfolio of 7 to 11%.

·

Net Interest Income and Fee and Commission Income - Failure to comply with the guidance for Net Interest Income and Fee and Commission Income is correlated to lower-than-expected credit growth, impacted by the lower volume of credit origination and a credit mix with a lower share of mass credits and a greater share in loan portfolios lower risk.

Projections for 2022

Indicators	Observed	Estimated
Expanded Loan Portfolio	9.8%	10% to 14%
Net Interest Income	22.0%	18% to 22%
Fee and Commission Income	4.7%	4% to 8%
Operational Expenses (Personnel and Administrative Expenses + Other Operating Expenses)	4.7%	1% to 5%
Income from Insurance, Pension and Capitalization Bond Operations	28.9%	18% to 23%
Expanded Loan Loss Provisions	R$32.3 bi R$27.4 bi (1)	R$25.5 bi to R$27.5 bi

(1) Disregards the impact of a Large Corporate client.

Reasons for deviations in the projections:

·

Result of Insurance, Pension and Capitalization Operations – Improvement in operational performance, favored the growth of Insurance, Pension and Capitalization operations.

·

Expanded Loan Loss Provisions – We considered a Loan Loss Provision for 100% of the risk of a Large Corporate client in December 2022, we remained above the guidance, disregarding the impact of this client, we would be at the top of the range estimated for the year.

 

Projections for 2021

Indicators	Observed	Estimated
Expanded Loan Portfolio	18.3%	14.5% to 16.5%
Net Interest Income	6.5%	2% to 6%
Fee and Commission Income	4.1%	2% to 6%
Operational Expenses (Personnel and Administrative Expenses)	1.1%	(5%) to (1%)
Income from Insurance, Pension and Capitalization Bond Operations	(5.5%)	(10%) to 0%
Expanded Loan Loss Provisions	R$15.0 bi	R$13.0 bi to R$16.0 bi

Reasons for deviations in the projections:

·

Expanded Loan Portfolio – Increase in virtually all products (for Individuals and Legal Entities), with a highlight to the credit card operations, personal/payroll-deductible loans, real estate financing, rural loans, guaranteed account and CDC, which rose above two digits.

·

Net Interest Income – Strong increase in the average volume of operations, and higher average rate of margin with clients, both due to the higher result of the spread-sensitive liabilities margin and the improvement in spreads and product mix in loan operations.

·

Operating Expenses – Main effects occurred due to the collective bargaining agreement as of September 2021, higher than original expectations, in addition to greater investments in digital initiatives in the Organization.

c)

Projections relating to ongoing periods

The projections were disclosed for the ongoing period, which were informed in item 3.1 of this Reference Form.

 

4. Risk factors

4.1 – Description of risk factors in descending order of relevance

Below are the main risk factors that Bradesco considers relevant, on the date of this Reference Form, and that could influence the decision of investment. If they materialize, these risks could have an adverse effect on our business, our financial situation and equity, and the price of our securities. Therefore, possible investors could evaluate the risks described below thoroughly, as well as other information contained in this Reference Form.

We observed that the risks described below are not the only risks to which the Organization is subject. Other risks that we are not aware of, in case they materialize, can generate similar effects to those mentioned previously.

It is important to highlight that the order in which the risks are presented reflect a criterion of relevance established by the Organization.

a)     to the issuer

Our financial and operating performance may be adversely affected by epidemics, natural disasters and other catastrophes, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic, which had a significant impact on our 2020 and 2021 results.

The outbreak of contagious diseases, such as the outbreak of Covid-19 on a global scale, which began in December 2019 and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, may affect investment decisions and result in sporadic volatility in international and/or Brazilian markets. Such outbreaks may result and have resulted (in the case of Covid-19), at different levels, in the adoption of governmental and private measures, including restrictions, in whole or in part, on the movement and transport of people, goods and services and, consequently, the closure of public establishments and offices, interruptions in the supply chain, reduction of consumption in general by the population and volatility in the price of raw materials and other inputs.

In addition, governments have been acting on a global scale with greater intervention in their economies, including through regulations and availability of resources, in response to the economic situation resulting from the advance of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The outbreak of epidemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters and other catastrophes can have a significant negative effect on the world and Brazilian economy, and include or may include:

• Reduction of the level of economic activity;

• Currency devaluation and volatility;

• Increase in fiscal deficit and decrease in the Federal Government’s capacity of investing and making payments and hiring services or purchasing goods;

• Decrease of available liquidity in the international and/or Brazilian market; and

• Delays in judicial, arbitral and/or administrative proceedings, especially in cases that are not electronic.

The occurrence of such events may have a materially adverse effect on the global and/or Brazilian economy and impact the liquidity and market value of our preferred shares and common shares; they may

also result in: long-range socioeconomic impacts, including a possible drop in revenue in Brazil and an increase in demand for public spending in key sectors, a scenario in which legislative amendments can be used to impose, even temporarily, a more costly tax treatment of our commercial activities, which can adversely affect our business and operating income.

We cannot guarantee the future impacts or measures that may be adopted if there is a pandemic or other outbreak of other transmissible diseases, nor the accuracy of our assessment of the actual and potential impacts or the extent of losses resulting from such pandemics or other transmissible diseases, that could impact our operations and financial situation. In addition, our operations can be negatively impacted by the emergence of new strains of the coronavirus and setbacks in the implementation of vaccination programs or measures necessary to contain other transmissible diseases.

We cannot guarantee that other regional and/or global outbreaks may not occur and, if they occur, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to take the necessary steps to avoid a negative impact on our business and financial income.

Adverse conditions in the credit and capital global markets, just like the value and/or perception of value of Brazilian government securities, may adversely affect our ability to access funding in a cost effective and/or timely manner.

Volatility and uncertainties in the credit and capital global markets have generally decreased liquidity, with increased costs of funding for financial institutions. These conditions may impact our ability to replace, in a cost effective and/or timely manner, maturing liabilities and/or access funding to execute our growth strategy.

Part of our funding originates from repurchase agreements for sales (repo operations), which are largely guaranteed by Brazilian government securities. These types of transactions are generally short-term and volatile in terms of volume, as they are directly impacted by market liquidity. As these transactions are typically guaranteed by Brazilian government securities, the value and/or perception of value of the Brazilian government securities may be significant, affecting the availability of funds. For example, if the quality of the Brazilian government securities used as collateral is adversely affected, due to the worsening of the credit risk of the Brazilian government, the cost of these transactions can increase, making this source of funding inefficient for us.

If the market decreases, which could cause a reduction in volume, or if there is increased collateral credit risk and we are forced to take and/or pay unattractive interest rates, our financial condition and the results of our operations may be adversely affected.

The increasingly competitive environment in the Brazilian banking and insurance segments may have a negative impact on our business prospects.

The markets for financial, banking and insurance services in Brazil are highly competitive. We face significant competition in all of our main areas of operation from other large banks and insurance companies, both public and private, based in Brazil and abroad, in addition to new players, such as fintechs and startups that begin to operate with a differentiated and reduced level of regulation. It should be noted that major technology companies “bigtechs” are also strong competitors, seeking to invest in online payment systems and financial transactions tools by means of various types of applications. In addition, we note that the implementation of Open Finance in Brazil has intensified this competition through the possibility of sharing information between institutions.

This competitive environment combined with the accelerated process of digital innovation observed in the sector may impact our speed of adaptation to this ecosystem and consequently the performance of certain lines of business, which may negatively affect our financial condition, the result of our operations and the market value of our shares.

We may experience increases in our level of non-performing loans as our loan and advance portfolio becomes more seasoned.

Our portfolio of loans and advances to clients experienced a decrease in 2023. Any corresponding decrease in our level of non-performing loans and advances to clients may lag behind the rate of loan growth,

as loans typically do not have due payments for a short period of time after their origination. Levels of non-performing loans are normally higher among our Individual clients than our Corporate clients.

Our delinquency ratio, which is defined as the total loans overdue for over ninety days in relation to the total loan and advance portfolio, increased to 5.1% as of December 31, 2023 (disregarding the large Corporate client, who is 100% provisioned, or 5.2% considering the Large Corporate client) in comparison to 4.3% on December 31, 2022 (disregarding the Large Corporate client). This growth is related to increased delinquency in the mass-market segment (individuals and legal entities) due to the inflationary environment and rising interest rates.

If economic conditions are deteriorating, or if we are experiencing rapid growth in loans, this may result in increases in our impairment of loans and advances and in our default rate, which can have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and income of the operations.

Our trading activities and derivatives transactions, as well as investments in financial assets at fair value through income and fair value through other comprehensive income, are not predictable and may cause significant financial losses, which could lead to a significant impact on our operating income.

We operate in security negotiations, buying fixed and variable income securities, mainly to sell them in the short term and generate profits on price differences. The fair value of these instruments may decrease significantly due to the volatility of financial markets and can vary over short periods. As of December 31, 2023, bonds classified under the "fair value through profit or loss" category and the "fair value through other comprehensive income" category represented 31.2% of our assets, and realized and unrealized gains and losses originating from these investments have had and may continue to have a significant impact on the results of our operations. In addition, we enter into derivative transactions, mainly to manage our exposure to the interest rate and foreign exchange risks of clients’ operations. However, these assets may also expose us to the possibility of significant financial losses in the future, since derivatives are subject to value fluctuations.

In addition, we enter into derivatives transactions to manage our exposure to interest rate and exchange rate risk resulting from operations with clients. These assets may also expose us to the possibility of significant financial losses in the future, since they are subject to fluctuations in value.

A failure or breach of our or our suppliers' operational, security or technology infrastructure and systems could temporarily interrupt our business and cause losses.

Our operations depend on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our information technology systems. However, any unavailability of infrastructure, software, or telecommunications networks can impact the processing of transactions performed by our clients, which can lead to financial losses, regulatory fines, penalties, interventions, reimbursements, and other damage-related costs. These factors can have an adverse material effect on our business, reputation and operating income.

Furthermore, due to the nature of our operations, the wide range of products and services we offer, the significant volume of activities and transactions carried out, and the global context of digital transformation where there is an increasing integration between platforms, the growing use of cloud computing, the intensification of relationships with external technology providers, and the extensive use of internet solutions and connectivity, the technological environment is exposed to various types of risks, whether they arise from internal or external factors. We face additional risks related to:

• the need for continuous redesign and development of our information technology architecture and applications;

• the need to upgrade and integrate legacy systems with emerging technology models in a timely manner;

• the increasing dependence of service providers due to the migration of certain services to the cloud, which demands robust governance and new ways of mitigating security and continuity risks beyond our control environment;

• the broad use of internet solutions and connectivity; and

• the growing difficulty in attracting and retaining IT specialized personnel in a competitive market.

Considering the use of new technologies, the increasing reliance on the internet, and the ever-evolving and sophisticated nature of cyberattacks, it is not possible to predict all the means that will be employed by malicious individuals or organizations, which could impact our ability to effectively anticipate and/or prevent cyberattacks. Any of these events or any new factors can cause disruptions, increased costs, delays in information processing, and/or losses in the transmission of essential data, which can affect our business, reputation, and operational and financial conditions.

We may incur penalties in case of non-compliance with data protection laws.

In August 2018, Law No. 13,709/18 – General Data Protection Law (LGPD, in Portuguese) was enacted, which creates a set of rules for the use, protection and transfer of personal data in Brazil, in the private and public spheres, and establishes responsibilities and penalties in the civil sphere. In addition to including existing rules on the subject, the LGPD followed the global trend of strengthening the protection of personal data, restricting its unjustified use, and guaranteeing a series of rights to holders of data, as well as imposing important obligations on so-called “treatment agents”. In particular, the LGPD was inspired by recent European legislation on the subject, reproducing central points of the Directive No. 95/46/EC, Regulation 2016/679 (UE) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The impact of this law has been significant as any processing of personal data will be subject to the new rules, whether physical or digital, by any entity established in Brazil, any entity who has collected personal data in Brazil, any individual located in Brazil – even if not residents – or any entity that offers goods and services to Brazilian consumers. In short, the adaptation to the LGPD required structural changes in our customer relationship, business partners, service providers and employees, and in virtually all internal areas of Brazilian companies. The LGPD (General Data Protection Law) is fully in effect, along with the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), a public administration body responsible for safeguarding, implementing, and overseeing compliance with the LGPD. The ANPD has had the full authority to apply sanctions since the publication of Resolution CD/ANPD No. 4/23 on February 27, 2023. Additionally, the National Council for Personal Data Protection and Privacy, created by a provisional measure converted into Law No. 13,583/2019, also plays a role in data protection and privacy matters.

We operate in a preventive, detective and corrective manner in order to protect our own and our clients’ information. As a result, we have evolved our security framework in light of the new digital environment, with a focus on cyber security being key and a pillar of the technology and processes to establish data protection for our clients. These changes have strengthened the resilience of our systems, our structure for identifying and detecting threats, and our response and recovery procedures in case of cyberattacks.

However, possible failures or attacks on our systems and processes of prevention and/or detection and/or correction in the fight against fraud and in providing information security, and the consequent non-compliance with applicable legislation, which may also negatively affect our reputation, our financial condition, the result of our operations and the market value of our shares.

Failure to adequately protect us from cyber security risks can affect us materially and adversely.

We are exposed to failures, deficiency or inadequacy of our internal processes, human error or misconduct, such as cyberattacks. While we have procedures and controls to protect our information technology systems and platforms, we are subject to cyber security risks that can affect us materially and adversely in the event of failures to adequately protect our assets and people.

Like other large corporations, we are heavily dependent on innovations and technologies, which exposes us to internal and external events that can affect the availability of our information technology systems and infrastructure. These events can also occur in our third-party service providers, who are part of our supply chain and have the potential to adversely affect our business and activities.

Risks that can directly or indirectly impact us or our third-party service providers include, but are not limited to: penetration of information technology systems and platforms by malicious individuals; infiltration of malware such as computers with viruses into our systems; intentional or accidental contamination of our networks and systems or those of our third-party service providers that we exchange data with, unauthorized

access to confidential client data, and/or organization data, and cyberattacks that may cause service degradation and/or outage that can result in business losses.

Cyber security and its risks are addressed at the highest strategic level within our Organization. The possibility of loss, theft or alteration of data processed and stored by us or our third-party service providers was considered an aggravating factor in our risk analysis due to the potential exploitation of vulnerabilities and weaknesses in systems, devices, networks or other digital media in our information technology environment and our third-party service providers (i.e., ransomware).

Our Corporate Security Department performs a prior and periodical analysis in the control environment of third-party providers. Our contracts of relevant services regarding data processing and storage and cloud computing contain specific cyber security clauses for the protection of information, even after termination of the contract.

Brazilian regulatory agencies have also intensified regulation, including through LGPD, CVM Instruction No. 35/21, as amended, and CMN Resolution No. 4,893/21, enhancing controls, policies, and requirements regarding cloud services.

The LGPD imposes sanctions and fines in case of data leakage arising from non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the law, however, any failure in the protection of personal information may impact, our operating and financial income, and reputation. While we have procedures and controls to protect our clients’ personal information, unauthorized disclosures or security breaches may lead us to legal actions and administrative sanctions, as well as damages that may materially and adversely affect our operating income, financial condition, prospects and reputation. In addition, we may be required to report relevant events related to cybersecurity issues, events where client information may be compromised, unauthorized access incidents, and other security breaches.

In 2022, we experienced a security incident involving exclusively our subsidiary Banco Bradesco Financiamentos (BBF), which offers specialized solutions for the commercialization of payroll-deductible loans and vehicle financing. During incident response and forensic analysis, we found that a systemic vulnerability problem was exploited, resulting in unauthorized access to data of certain BBF clients from part of the database related to vehicle financing contracts. Measures have been taken to resolve the incident and we contacted the clients whose data had been inappropriately accessed, and informed the competent authorities (Central Bank of Brazil and ANPD).

In July 2023, we suffered a ransomware incident involving Bradesco Securities, Inc. - New York. On July 18, 2023, we published a relevant fact, available on our investor relations website and informed the SEC on Form 6-K (not incorporated by reference in this report), of the incident, which resulted in unauthorized access to employee data, administrative staff and clients exclusively of Bradesco Securities, Inc. The compromised data included employees of Bradesco Securities, Inc. in the United States, United Kingdom and Brazil, as well as institutional clients of Bradesco Securities, Inc.

Bradesco Securities, Inc. promptly activated its control and security protocols to determine the cause and extent of the incident and to mitigate its effects. It has adopted measures to resolve the incident, including contacting affected persons and competent authorities.

Unauthorized viewing of this data did not impair Bradesco Securities, Inc.’s clients’ access to transactional services. In addition, the event did not result in the unavailability of systems or the interruption of operations, which continued to function normally, and did not affect clients, operations or corporate data of other Bradesco business units, including the systems and operations of Banco Bradesco S.A. and its subsidiaries in Brazil. There was no risk to the continuity of business and services to clients of the institution.

Although, any failures to adequately protect us against cyber security risks can affect us materially and adversely.

The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) is currently deciding cases related to inflationary adjustments during periods of hyperinflation in Brazil, which may increase our costs and cause losses.

The STF, which is the highest court in Brazil and is responsible for judging constitutional matters, is currently deciding whether savings account holders have the right to obtain adjustments for inflation related to their deposits due to the economic plans Bresser, part of Verão, Collor I and Collor II, implemented in the 1980s and 1990s, before the Plano Real, in 1994. The trial began in November 2013 but was interrupted without any pronouncement on the merits of the subject under discussion by their Members. According to the associations representing the savings account holders, banks misapplied the inflation adjustments when those economic plans were implemented, and should be required to indemnify the savings account holders for the non-adjustment of those amounts.

The STF decided that the ruling of class actions proposed by associations questioning inflationary readjustments only benefits consumers who: (i) were associated with the associations at the time of filing of the class action; and (ii) authorized the filing of the class action. This reduced the number of beneficiaries in class actions because, until then, it was understood that these decisions should benefit all consumers affected by the practices (i.e. whoever suffered losses related to inflationary adjustments, regardless of the losses of savings beneficiaries being associated to the association that filed the class action).

In a related sentence, the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice (STJ) decided, in May 2014, that the starting date for counting default interest for compensating savings account holders must be the date of summons of the related lawsuit (rather than the date of settlement of the judgment), therefore increasing the amount of possible losses for the affected banks in the event of an unfavorable decision by the STF.

In December 2017, with the mediation of the Executive branch’s attorney (Advocacia Geral da União or AGU) and the intervention of the Central Bank of Brazil, the representatives of the banks and the savings account holders entered into an agreement related to the economic plans aiming to finalize the claims, establishing a timeline and conditions for the savings account holders to accede to such agreement. The STF affirmed the agreement on March 1, 2018. This approval determined the suspension of legal actions in progress for the duration of the collective bargaining agreement (24 months). On March 11, 2020, the signatories to the Collective Bargaining Agreement agreed to an amendment extending the agreement for a further 60 months. The amendment was taken to the Supreme Court for approval, and its extension was approved by the plenary of the court, on May 29, 2020, for a period of 30 months (renewable for a further 30 months), from March 12, 2020. A new amendment was agreed between the Parties of the Collective Agreement extending it for another 30 months and submitted to the STF for approval. In a session concluded on December 16, 2022, the extension of the Collective Agreement was approved for another 30 months, and the adherence to the terms of the agreement was carried out through a digital platform specially created for this purpose. Considering that this is a voluntary agreement, which does not oblige the savers to join, we cannot predict how many savers will join.

Future STF decision regarding cases related to inflationary purges may increase our costs and cause losses. This may negatively affect our financial condition, the result of our operations and the market value of our shares.

We may incur losses associated with counterparty risk exposures.

We are subject to the possibility that counterparts will not honor their contractual obligations regarding the settlement of transactions involving bilateral flows, including the negotiation of derivatives or repo operations. It is necessary to estimate the projected exposures of these bilateral flows so that it is possible to properly provision, because of the leverage nature of these operations. Such counterparts may become default due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or for other reasons, at any time in the term of their operations.

Our risk management structure may not be fully effective.

Our objective is to fully incorporate the risk management process into all of our activities, developing and implementing methodologies, models and other tools for the measurement and control of risks, looking to

continuously improve them in order to mitigate the risks that we identify. However, there may be limitations to this risk management framework in foreseeing and mitigating all the risks to which we are subject, or may in the future become, subject. If our risk management structure is not completely effective in adequately preventing or mitigating risks, we could suffer material unexpected losses, adversely affecting our financial condition and the expected results of operations.

We may face significant challenges in possessing and realizing value from collateral with respect to loans in default.

If we are unable to recover sums owed to us under secured loans in default through extrajudicial measures such as restructurings, our last recourse with respect to such loans may be to enforce the collateral secured in our favor by the applicable borrower. Depending on the type of collateral provided, we either have to enforce such collateral through the courts or through extrajudicial measures. However, even where the enforcement mechanism is duly established by the law, Brazilian law allows borrowers to challenge the enforcement in the courts, even if such challenge is unfounded, which can delay the realization of value from the collateral. Our secured claims under Brazilian law will in certain cases rank below those of preferred creditors such as employees and tax authorities. As a result, we may not be able to realize value from the collateral, or may only be able to do so to a limited extent or after a significant period, thereby potentially adversely affecting our financial condition and results of our operations.

We may incur losses due to impairments on goodwill from acquired businesses.

We record the value of goodwill in investment acquisitions, which represents the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Annually, we assess the basis and estimates of profitability of the Cash-Generating Units (Unidades Geradoras de Caixa or UGC) in respect of which goodwill is allocated. These evaluations are made through cash flow projections based on growth rates and discount rates, with those projections then being compared to the value of the Cash-Generating Units to determine the presence of indicators of impairment of these assets. However, given the inherent uncertainty regarding future cash flow projections, we cannot guarantee that impairment will not be recognized in the future, which could negatively impact our operating income, financial condition, and market value of our shares.

We may be subject to negative consequences in the event of an adverse conclusion in the judicial process arising from Operação Zelotes (“Zealots Operation”).

In the context of the Zealotes Operation, an investigation into alleged improper conduct by members of the Administrative Council for Tax Appeals (CARF), a criminal case was filed against two former members of our Board of Executive Officers in 2016 and received by the 10th Federal Court of the Judicial Section of the Federal District. The trial court acquitted the two former members of our Board of Executive Officers, and so far, the Public Prosecutor's Office has not appealed this decision.

Although we are not a party to this case, any developments in the Zealotes Operation and other on-going investigations or investigations that may be initiated in the future, any consequent events and the possibility of new accusations may negatively affect our reputation and our financial condition.

Financial institutions, such as us, may be subject to legal proceedings arising from certain actions by third parties related to anticorruption, money laundering and terrorism financing (AMLTF).

We are subject to Brazilian anti-corruption legislation and of prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing (AMLTF), and legislation with a similar focus of other countries where we have branches and operations, as well as other anti-corruption and AMLTF laws and transnational regulatory regimes. These laws require the adoption of integrity procedures to mitigate the risk that (i) anyone acting on our behalf may give undue advantage to the public agent to gain benefits of any nature; and (ii) or officers, employees, and third parties may use financial systems inappropriately for any actions related to AMLTF. Legislation of transnational scope, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as the Brazilian law, oblige us, among other things, to maintain policies and procedures aimed at preventing any illegal or improper activities related to AMLTF and corruption of governmental entities and officials in order to ensure any commercial advantage, and they require us to maintain accurate records and a system of internal

controls to ensure the accuracy of our records and avoid illegal activities. Despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee that such measures will be sufficient to fully prevent or detect illegal or improper activities.

If our policies and procedures to prevent bribery, AMLTF and other corrupt practices are not able to prevent voluntary or inadvertent actions by our executives, employees or third parties representing corruption, government regulatory agencies to which we are accountable have the power and authority to impose fines and other penalties.

Involvement in these actions, a risk inherent in the activities of financial institutions, may result in negative publicity for us, and any adverse decision in an administrative or judicial process may adversely affect our financial situation, operating income, and the market value of our shares and ADSs. In addition, the perception or allegation that we, our employees, our affiliates or other people or entities associated with us have engaged in any improper conduct, even if unfounded, may cause significant damage to the reputation and other adverse effects.

Developments and the perception of risk in Brazil and other countries, especially emerging market countries, may adversely affect the market price of Brazilian securities, including our shares.

The market value of securities of Brazilian companies is affected to varying degrees by economic and market conditions in other countries, including other Latin American and emerging market countries. Although economic conditions in these countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Brazil, investors' reactions to developments in these other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of issuers based in Brazil. Crises in other emerging market countries may diminish investor interest in securities of issuers based in Brazil, including ours, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares.

Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our ability to finance our assets.

Events involving reduced or limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership. Such events increase investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems, which can affect commercial financing terms. If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets. A significant decline in available funding could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other obligations, or result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

b)     its shareholders, especially the controlling shareholders

A majority of our common shares are held, directly and indirectly, by one shareholder and our Board of Directors is composed of 11 members, including four independent members; accordingly, the interests of non-independent members may conflict with those of our other investors.

As of March 11, 2024, the Fundação Bradesco held a total ownership stake of 31.44% in our company, comprising 8.61% of direct ownership and 22.83% of indirect ownership. Under the terms of Fundação Bradesco’s bylaws, members of our Board of Executive Officers that have been working with us for more than ten years serve as members of the Managing Board of Fundação Bradesco. The Managing Board has no other members.

Our Board of Directors has 11 members, four of which are independent, in other words they are not associated with Fundação Bradesco, in accordance with the criteria included in Law No. 6,404/76, in the regulation issued by the CVM (Brazilian Corporate Law). Brazilian Corporate Law states that only individuals

may be appointed to a company’s Board of Directors. Accordingly, there is no legal or statutory provision requiring us to have independent directors, however, to exercise good corporate governance, our Board of Directors has four independent directors. Since the majority of members are not independent, the interests of our Board of Directors may not always be aligned with the interests of part of our other shareholders and these holders do not have the same protections they would have if most of the directors were independent. Furthermore, our Board members (excluding independent board members) are affiliated with the Fundação Bradesco, and decisions regarding our acquisition policy, divestments, financing, or other transactions may be made by the Fundação Bradesco and our Board of Directors that could be contrary to the interests of our other investors, including shareholders and ADS holders, and that may have a negative impact on the interests of our shareholders and ADS holders.

If we issue new shares or our shareholders sell shares in the future, the market price of your preferred share and common share may be reduced.

Sales of a substantial number of shares, or the belief that this may occur, could decrease the market price of our shares, preferred shares and common shares, by diluting their value. If we issue new shares or our existing shareholders sell the shares they hold, the market price of our shares and therefore the market price of our preferred shares and common shares, may decrease significantly.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, holders of preferred shares have limited voting rights, accordingly, holders of preferred shares will have similar limitations on their ability to vote.

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law (Law No. 6,404/76, which we refer to as Brazilian Corporate Law) and our Bylaws, our preferred shareholders are not entitled to vote at our shareholders’ meetings, except in limited circumstances. As such, in contrast to common shareholders, preferred shareholders are not entitled to vote on corporate transactions, including any proposed merger or consolidation with other companies, among other things.

c)     its subsidiaries and associated companies

Below we highlight the main risks that could affect the business of our main subsidiary, Grupo Bradesco Seguros, Previdência e Capitalização, which contributed almost 17% of our income.

Our losses in connection with insurance claims may vary from time to time. Differences between the losses from actual claims, underwriting and reserving assumptions and provisions of related insurance policies may have an adverse effect on us.

The results of our insurance operations depend significantly upon the extent to which our actual claims are consistent with the assumptions we used to assess our potential future policy and insurance claim liabilities and to price our insurance products. We seek to manage the insured risks, within our limits of liability and price our insurance products based on the expected payout of benefits, calculated using several factors, such as assumptions for investment returns, mortality and morbidity rates, cancellations, conversion into pension income, administrative, operational, brokerage and claims expenses, persistency, and certain macroeconomic factors, such as inflation and interest rates. These assumptions may deviate from our prior experience, due to factors beyond our control such as natural disasters (floods, explosions and fires), man-made disasters (riots, gang or terrorist attacks), changes in mortality and morbidity rates as a result of advances in medicine and increased longevity, pandemics such as the Covid-19 pandemic, which can have a systemic effect on the business (particularly insurance products), or related and economic effects (other insurance products), among others. Therefore, we cannot determine precisely the amounts that we will ultimately pay to settle these insurance liabilities, when these payments will need to be made, or whether the assets supporting our policy liabilities, together with future premiums and contributions, will be sufficient for payment of these liabilities. These amounts may vary from the estimated amounts, particularly when those payments do not occur in a short time period, which is the case with certain of our life insurance products. Accordingly, the establishment of the related provisions is inherently uncertain and our actual losses usually deviate, sometimes substantially, from such estimated amounts. To the extent that incurred losses are less favorable than the underlying assumptions used in establishing such liabilities, we may be required to increase our provisions, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of our operations.

d)     its managers

We may suffer losses due to employee misconduct.

Our business is exposed to risk from potential non-compliance with our policies, including our Code of Ethical Conduct, and related behaviors and employee misconduct such as fraud, negligence or non-financial misconduct, all of which could result in regulatory sanctions and/or reputational or financial harm. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct, despite all the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity. Employee misconduct could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating income, prospects and reputation.

e)     to its suppliers

Eventual need to supply financial support for related entities, whether due to insufficient capital and/or liquidity, relevant operational problems and dependence on services rendered by suppliers/partners may negatively impact our business performance.

As a result of our relationship with companies that are not part of our group (Prudential Conglomerate) and our investment fund-related activities, we may have to provide financial support to these entities if they encounter financial difficulties, equity imbalances, reduction in financial income or insufficient net assets, among other situations. In addition, our reputation may be adversely affected as a result of any adverse situation that occurs in the entities in which we invest.

Due to the complexity of some of our services, we may be dependent on supplier/partner relationships or encounter difficulty in replacing some suppliers/partners. We are also subject to operational risks that are beyond our control and may impact negatively on our operations and make the delivery of products and services to our clients more difficult. Possible interruptions in the provision of our services and difficulties in substituting certain suppliers/partners or other issues beyond our control arising from third party companies may adversely affect our reputation, operating income, financial conditions, result of our operations and/or market value of our shares.

f)       to its clients

We consider a risk relating to “the clients” as a risk related to the “issuer”, as described in item “a” of this section, which reads as “We may face an increase in our level of delinquency in the payment of loans, to the measure that our loans and advance payment portfolio matures”.

g)     economic sectors in which the issuer operates

The government exercises influence over the Brazilian economy, and Brazilian political and economic conditions have a direct impact on our business.

Investing in emerging market countries like Brazil brings economic risks. Economic volatility in Latin America and other emerging markets have been caused by many different factors, including high interest rates, changes in currency value, high inflation levels, exchange rate controls, wage and price controls, changes in economic or fiscal policies, imposition of trade barriers and internal security issues. Any of these factors can adversely affect the value of our shares.

Abrupt changes in monetary or fiscal policies, which are not justified by changes in the economic scenario, can generate uncertainties about economic policy, leading to the deterioration of expectations, amplifying the volatility and negatively impacting the prices of domestic assets. In this sense, actions and signs of economic policy that are credible and transparent tend to maintain macroeconomic volatility at low levels.

Historically, the Brazilian’s political scenario has influenced the performance of the Brazilian economy and the political crises have affected the confidence of investors and the general public, which has resulted in a deceleration in the economy and greater volatility in the securities of Brazilian companies issued abroad, in the last years. Uncertainties about the economic policies, especially fiscal, can generate negative impacts on the prices of domestic assets, such as the depreciation of the currency, elevation of long rates of interest and stock exchange volatility. Furthermore, uncertainties regarding the economic policies that the Brazilian government may adopt can influence the market's perception of the risk of foreign investment in Brazil, which, in turn, can adversely affect the market value of our shares.

In addition, legislative changes can have an adverse impact on our operations, performance, our business, financial situation and operating income.

Uncertainty regarding the economic and fiscal policies and the legal framework could harm the Brazilian economy and, consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Currency exchange variations may have an adverse effect on the Brazilian economy and on our results and financial condition.

Fluctuations in the value of the real may impact our business. After an extended period of appreciation, interrupted only in late 2008 as a reflection of the global crisis, the Brazilian real started to weaken in mid-2011, a trend which continued until mid-2016. After a brief period of stable exchange rates, the real was once again devalued against the U.S. dollar, which was intensified in 2020 and 2021 because of the increased global aversion to risk, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Weaker currency periods make certain local manufacturers (particularly exporters) more competitive, but also make managing economic policy, particularly inflation, increasingly difficult, even with a decelerated growth. A weaker real also adversely impacts companies based in Brazil with debts in foreign currency and/or indexed in foreign debts.

If the Brazilian currency devalues or depreciates, we may incur losses on our liabilities denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies, such as our long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars and loans in foreign currency, and can lead to gains on our monetary assets denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, since liabilities and assets are converted into reais using the foreign currency rate on the date of the report. Consequently, if our liabilities denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies significantly exceed our monetary assets denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, including any financial instruments entered into for hedging purposes, a large devaluation or depreciation of the Brazilian currency could significantly and adversely affect our financial income and the market value of our shares, even if the value of the monetary assets and liabilities has not changed in their currency of origin.

The Brazilian currency recovered part of the losses of previous years in the first months of 2022, mainly due to the increase in interest rates and higher international commodity prices. However, during the second quarter of 2022, there was a significant devaluation of the real/US dollar exchange rate due to the slowdown in the fiscal debate and the approval of PEC 1/2022, which authorized new government spending. In 2023, the real/US dollar exchange rate was fluctuating around US$5.25, with appreciation at the end of the year, ending below R$/US$4.90. The strong results of the trade balance and the good foundations of the foreign accounts, as well as the growth at a strong pace, helped explain this movement of appreciation during 2023. At the beginning of 2024, the real/US dollar exchange rate has fluctuated around US$4.90.

On the other hand, if the Brazilian currency appreciates, we may incur losses on our monetary assets denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, and we may experience reductions in our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, as liabilities and assets are converted into reais. Therefore, if our monetary assets denominated or indexed to foreign currencies significantly exceed our liabilities denominated or indexed in foreign currencies, including any financial instruments entered into for hedge purposes, a large appreciation of the Brazilian currency could be materially and adversely affect our financial income, even if the value of monetary assets and liabilities has not changed in their original currency.

Changes in base interest rate by the Central Bank of Brazil may materially and/or adversely affect our margins and results of operations.

As a result of inflationary pressures and macroeconomic instability observed at the moment, the Brazilian government has historically adopted monetary policies that have resulted in interest rates in Brazil being among the highest in the world. The Central Bank of Brazil establishes the basic interest rates generally available to the Brazilian banking system (SELIC), based on the expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy, inflation rates and other economic indicators. In recent years, there has been significant volatility in the Brazilian official basic interest rate, which ranged from 14.25% on December 31, 2015 to 2.00% on August 20, 2020. On December 31, 2021, the SELIC rate was 9.25%. Subsequently, the rate was gradually rising to 13.75% in 2022, decreasing to 11.75% in 2023. On March 20, 2024, the SELIC rate was reduced to 10.75%.

We have no control over the basic interest rates established by the Monetary Policy Committee (COPOM) of the Central Bank of Brazil or the frequency with which they are adjusted. Increases in the SELIC basic interest rate, can have an adverse effect on us, reducing the demand for our credit and increasing our fundraising costs, financial expenses related to the existing debt, and the risk of client default. Reductions in SELIC rate can also have an adverse effect on us, reducing the interest revenue we earn on our interest-bearing assets and thus reducing our revenues and margins.

Our investments in debt securities issued by the Brazilian government expose us to additional risks associated with Brazil.

We invest in debt securities issued by the Brazilian government. The trading price of these securities is affected by, among other things, market conditions in Brazil, the perception of Brazil and the related perception of the Brazilian government’s ability to repay principal and/or make interest payments. Accordingly, adverse developments or trends in any of these areas could have a knock-on adverse effect on the value of our securities portfolio, thereby affecting our financial condition and results of our operations, which may affect the market value of our shares.

The persistently high inflation can affect our revenues and our ability to access foreign financial markets.

Brazil has, in the past, experienced extremely high rates of inflation. Inflation and governmental measures to combat inflation have had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy and have contributed to increased economic uncertainty and increased volatility in the Brazilian securities markets, which may have an adverse effect on us.

The current economic policy in Brazil is based on a monetary regime in which the Central Bank of Brazil ensures that the actual inflation is in line with a pre-established target, publicly announced. However, inflation rates were above the mid-guidance in 2023, reaching 4.62%, compared to the guidance of 3.25%. Inflation rates were also above the guidance limit in 2022 and 2021, reaching 5.79% in 2022, compared to the guidance of 3.50% and 10.06% in 2021 compared to the guidance of 3.75%, as measured by the Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA).

Inflation and government measures to commit it, and if adopted again, may continue to have significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy, including greater volatility in the Brazilian securities market. In addition, measures to control inflation often lead to the maintenance of a restrictive monetary policy, with higher interest rates, restricting credit availability and limiting economic growth. On the other hand, a credible and responsible monetary policy can trigger increases in the rate of inflation and thus negatively affect the economic stability. In the event of an increase in inflation, we may not be able to adjust the prices we charge from our clients to offset the effects of inflation on our cost structure, which may adversely affect us and our operating income.

The shocks to inflation and the strong recovery in demand throughout 2021 led the Central Bank of Brazil to initiate a monetary tightening process, resulting in an increase in the SELIC rate, to 13.75% in August 2022, remaining at this level until August 2023. Inflation decompression throughout 2023 led the Central Bank of Brazil to initiate a cycle of SELIC rate reduction, leading the rate to 11.75% at the end of 2023. On March 20, 2024, the SELIC rate was reduced to 10.75%.

These effects of persistent high inflation and policies to contain it may affect our costs and net interest income. If investor confidence lags, the price of our securities may fall. Inflationary pressures may also affect our ability to access foreign financial markets as counter-inflationary public policies may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our shares.

h)

regulation of sectors in which the issuer operates

The Brazilian government regulates the operations of Brazilian financial institutions and insurance companies. Changes in existing laws and regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations may negatively affect our operations and revenues.

Brazilian banks and insurance companies are subject to extensive and continuous regulatory review by the Brazilian government. We have no control over government regulations, which govern all facets of our operations, including the imposition of:

·

minimum capital requirements;

·

compulsory deposit requirements;

·

investment limitations in fixed assets;

·

lending limits and other credit restrictions;

·

earmarked loan operations, such as housing loans and rural loans;

·

accounting and statistical requirements concerning our operations;

·

management of miscellaneous risks, including social, environmental and climate-related risks;

·

mandatory provisioning policies for regulatory reporting purposes;

·

limits and other restrictions on rates; and

·

limits on the amount of interest that banks can charge and the period for which they can capitalize on interest.

The regulatory structure governing banks and insurance companies based in Brazil is continuously evolving. Existing laws and regulations could be amended, the manner in which laws and regulations are enforced or interpreted could change, and new laws or regulations could be adopted. Such changes could materially adversely affect our operations and our revenues.

In particular, the government has historically enacted regulations affecting financial institutions in an effort to implement its economic policies. These regulations are intended to control the availability of credit and reduce or increase consumption in Brazil. These changes may adversely affect us because our returns on compulsory deposits are lower than those we obtain on our other investments. Regulations issued by the Central Bank of Brazil are not subject to a legislative process. The regulations issued by the Central Bank of Brazil do not go through the legislative process, so they can be enacted and implemented in a very short period of time, which could impact our operations. In addition, any changes in loan availability may affect us negatively.

Changes in regulations regarding reserve and compulsory deposit requirements may reduce operating margins.

The Central Bank of Brazil has periodically changed the level of compulsory deposits that financial institutions in Brazil, including us, are required to abide by.

Compulsory deposits generally yield lower returns than our other investments and deposits because:

·

a portion of our compulsory deposits with the Central Bank of Brazil do not bear interest; and

·

while another portion is paid at the SELIC rate or rate of remuneration of the savings account.

Rules related to compulsory deposits have been changed from time to time by the Central Bank of Brazil.

Our compulsory reserves for demand deposits, savings deposits, time deposits, and additional compulsory reserves amounted to R$109 billion on December 31, 2023. The compulsory reserve requirement has been utilized by the Central Bank of Brazil as a means to control liquidity as part of monetary policy in the past, and we have no control over these impositions. Any increase in the compulsory reserve requirements

may diminish our ability to extend loans and engage in other investments, consequently having a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in taxes and other fiscal assessments may adversely affect us.

The Brazilian government regularly enacts reforms to the tax and other assessment regimes to which we and our clients are subject. Such reforms include changes in the rate of assessments and, occasionally, the enactment of temporary taxes, the proceeds of which are earmarked for designated governmental purposes. The effects of these changes and any other changes that result from the enactment of additional tax reforms have not been, and cannot be, quantified. There can be no assurance that these reforms will not, once implemented, have an adverse effect upon our business.

In times of constantly changing fiscal trends, with increased public spending and public debt increasing as a proportion of GDP, interest rates may rise at a pace higher than expected, hampering loan expansion and increasing volatility. Moreover, the risk of changes in taxes and fiscal assessments may materialize as the government may target taxation towards certain sectors, such as the financial markets, with negative impacts on the results and investments of businesses operating in the segment.

Furthermore, in February 2023, the STF issued a decision recognizing that final judgments regarding a specific taxpayer cannot prevail over subsequent decisions issued by the STF that apply to all taxpayers. The aforementioned decision does not have any impact on us.

On December 20, 2023, Constitutional Amendment No. 132/23 was published, which brought the Tax Reform directive in Brazil. The Constitutional Amendment reorganizes the taxation on consumption in Brazil, having as main milestone the replacement of five current taxes (PIS, COFINS, ICMS, ISS and IPI) by a Value Added Tax (VAT) rate, divided into two: (i) the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS), which will be allocated to the Government, and (ii) the Goods and Services Tax (IBS), which will be distributed to the States and Municipalities. It is foreseen in the Constitutional Amendment that in relation to the Revenue of Financial Intermediation, the calculation bases and rates should be defined in order to maintain the current tax burden applied to loan operations (Spread - Pis and Cofins) by the end of the fifth year of enforcement of the regime (without increase or decrease in the sector’s collection).

According to the Constitutional Amendment, the Executive Branch should forward to the National Congress, within 90 days the bill that reinforces the taxation of income, together with the corresponding estimates and studies of budgetary and financial impacts, and within 180 days it should forward the regulation of Constitutional Amendment No. 132/23.

We cannot estimate the impacts that the implementation of the Tax Reform will have on our operations. In this sense, although taxation on consumption has undergone significant changes, which may result in a possible increase in the tax burden, there is no way of predicting the impacts on the gross margin of the company.

We cannot guarantee that the Brazilian government will implement a tax reform, a change in applicable laws and regulations, or maintain or renew any incentives in a way that is favorable to us. In the event of these changes, directly or indirectly, increasing the tax burden due by the group, our gross margin may decrease resulting in a negative impact on business and operating income.

We highlight that the taxation of dividend distribution and the extinction of interest deductibility on equity are directly linked to the reform of income taxation, which will still be presented by the Government.

Changes in tax-related laws and regulations, and interpretations can affect tax charges by raising tax and tax rates, creating taxes, limiting tax deductions, and eliminating tax-based incentives and untaxed income. In addition, tax authorities or courts can interpret tax regulations differently to our interpretation, which could result in tax disputes, associated costs and penalties.

The Brazilian Constitution used to establish a ceiling on loan interest rates and if the government enacts new legislation with a similar effect in the future, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Article 192 of the Brazilian Constitution, enacted in 1988, established a 12.0% p.a. ceiling on bank loan interest rates. However, since the enactment of the Brazilian Constitution, this rate had not been enforced, as the regulation regarding the ceiling is pending. The understanding that this ceiling is not yet in force has been confirmed by Súmula Vinculante No. 7, a final binding decision enacted in 2008 by the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF), in accordance with such Court’s prior understanding on this matter. Since 1988, several attempts have been made to regulate the limitation on loan interest, and especially bank loan interest rates, but none of them have been implemented nor confirmed by Brazilian superior courts.

On May 29, 2003, Constitutional Amendment No. 40 (EC 40/03) was enacted and revoked all subsections and paragraphs of Article 192 of the Brazilian Constitution. This amendment allows the Brazilian Financial System to be regulated by specific laws for each sector of the system rather than by a single law relating to the system as a whole.

The majority of our revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities are directly linked to interest rates. Therefore, the imposition of a limitation or cap on loan interest rates can significantly and adversely affect our operating income and financial condition, our loan portfolios, our cost of funding, and our loan-related revenue.

 

i)       foreign countries where the issuer operates

The risks to which our offices abroad are exposed are not characterized as relevant insofar as they generate significant impacts that could influence our decision of investment.

There is a proviso that the operations of our Offices Abroad are supported by policies, standards and procedures issued by the Organization.

 

j)

social issues

There is no declared risk factor.

 

k)

environmental issues

We provide financing of projects carried out by clients which can result in negative socio-environmental impacts that, in turn, can negatively affect our operating income and reputation.

We promote loan and financing operations, acting in several sectors, which may significantly affect an entire ecosystem, involving communities and the local flora and fauna. If a client, in the development of their activities, causes environmental impacts, such as the contamination of soil and water pollution above the legally acceptable limit and/or environmental disasters, it has a direct obligation to repair the damage caused. Consequently, depending on the magnitude of the socioenvironmental impact, the client can have their economic-financial structure compromised, which could adversely affect our financial status, the result of our operations and the market value of our shares.

l)

climate issues, including physical and transition risks

Climate change can have adverse effects on our business.

The risks associated with climate change are gaining increasing social, regulatory, economic, and political relevance, both nationally and internationally. New regulations related to climate change can affect our operations and business strategy, leading us to incorporate financial costs arising from physical climate risks and risks arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Physical climate risks are related to the projection that the global climate will continue to change, resulting in an increase in the severity and frequency of chronic and acute weather events. These events can impact the global economy, resulting in significant changes in asset prices and sector profitability. Damage to borrowers' properties and operations can impair asset values and credit quality, leading to higher defaults, write-offs, and impairment charges in our portfolios. Additionally, our facilities and resilience can also suffer physical damage from climate events, which may result in increased costs for us.

Regarding transition risks, we recognize that economic changes towards a low-carbon future are necessary. Therefore, the global market may face significant and rapid developments in market dynamics, technologies, legal and regulatory risks that can impact our business. Additionally, we expect to face increased scrutiny of the businesses we conduct by regulators, investors, civil society, and the public.

The effects of physical and transition risks can also lead to losses for our clients, affecting the profitability of companies as well as their ability to repay loans. Therefore, if we do not adequately incorporate the risks associated with climate change into our risk framework to adequately measure, manage, and disclose the various financial and operational risks that may result from these climate changes, or if we do not adapt our strategy and business model to a changing regulatory and market environment, we may face significant adverse impacts on our business growth rates, competitiveness, profitability, capital requirements, cost of funding, and compliance levels.

In addition, our financial and operational performance may be negatively affected by extreme weather events, such as El Niño. Global climate change and the increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme weather events bring relevant risks to the Brazilian agricultural production, which in 2022 accounted for about 5% of the GDP, according to calculations by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Climatic events, such as El Niño, for example, when they occur intensively, such as between 2015 and 2016, cause changes in rainfall and temperatures with adverse consequences for grains and sugarcane, for example. There was a reduction of 11.3% in the production of Brazilian grains and 5.8% of sugarcane in the 2015-2016 harvest. As agribusiness represents a relevant part of our investment portfolio, our result can be negatively impacted by events of this nature, whose effects are difficult to predict and measure.

In addition, on March 6, 2024, the SEC approved new rules that will require significant climate-related disclosures by publicly traded companies, including the assessment and disclosure of relevant climate-related risks and opportunities, greenhouse gas emissions inventory, and climate-related goals and objectives and financial impacts of physical and transition risks (the "SEC Climate Rules"). A large number of petitions seeking judicial review of the SEC’s Climate Rules have been filed. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily suspended the implementation of these new rules until the completion of the judicial review of legal challenges consolidated by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Assuming the SEC’s Climate Rules are maintained in their current form, our legal, accounting, and other compliance expenses may be affected by the SEC’s Climate Rules, and compliance efforts may divert management’s time and attention. We may also be exposed to legal or regulatory lawsuits or claims as a result of these new regulations. While we are still in the process of assessing the scope and impact of these rules, considering that they were recently adopted and the subsequent legal challenges, some of these risks may have a relevant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prices of our securities.

 

m)

other issues not covered in the previous items:

As the regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology evolves, our business, financial condition, and operating income may be adversely affected.

The regulatory framework for artificial intelligence and machine learning technology is evolving and remains uncertain. It is possible that new laws and regulations may be adopted, or existing standards, notably those related to data protection and copyright, may be interpreted in new ways that affect the operation of our platform and the way we use artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, including in relation to loan granting, given legislative discussions on the right to contestability, explainability, and review of decisions obtained through the use of artificial intelligence systems, which may expose our credit model, and could negatively affect our business. Additionally, the cost of complying with such laws or regulations may be significant and increase our operating expenses, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating income.

4.2 – Indicate the five (5) main risk factors, among those listed in field 4.1, regardless of the category in which they are inserted

1.

We may experience increases in our level of past due loans as our loans and advances portfolio becomes more seasoned.

 

2.

Developments and the perception of risk in Brazil and other countries, especially emerging market countries, may adversely affect the market price of Brazilian securities, including our shares.

 

3.

Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our ability to finance our assets.

 

4.

Changes in base interest rate by the Central Bank of Brazil may materially and/or adversely affect our margins and results of operations.

 

5.

The persistently high inflation can affect our revenues and our ability to access foreign financial markets.

4.3 – Describe, quantitatively and qualitatively, the main market risks to which the issuer is exposed, including in relation to exchange rate risks and interest rates

The Organization monitors and controls the possibility of financial losses due to fluctuating prices and interest rates of the financial instruments, as its asset and liability portfolios may have mismatched maturities, currencies and indexes. Considering the dynamics of this type of risk and the characteristics of each investment portfolio, various limits of risks and results were established.

The proposals for risk limits are validated in specific Committees, supported by the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee, and submitted for approval by the Board of Directors, according to the characteristics of the business, which are segregated into the following Portfolios:

·

Trading Portfolio: comprised by every operation that is carried out with financial instruments, including derivatives, held with trading intent or to hedge other instruments in the portfolio itself, and which are not subject to the limitation of their negotiability. Operations held with trading intent are those intended for resale, attainment of benefits from effective or expected price variation, or for arbitration; and

·

Banking Portfolio: comprised by operations that are not classified in the Trading Portfolio from the other business of the Organization and their respective hedges.

Market Risk Measurement Models

The measurement and control of market risk are made through the methodologies of Stress, Value at Risk (VaR), and Sensitivity Analysis, in addition to the Results Management and Financial Exposure limits. The use of several methodologies for risk measurement and assessment is important, because they are always complementary and their combined use allows you to capture various scenarios and situations.

Trading and Regulatory Portfolio

The risks of the Trading Portfolio are mainly controlled by Stress and VaR. In the case of Stress, which aims to quantify the negative impact of shocks and extreme economic events that are financially unfavorable to the positions of the Organization, the analysis uses stress scenarios that are prepared by the area of Market Risk and Economic Area of the Organization from historical and prospective data for the risk factors in which the Organization is positioned.

For the calculation of VaR, the Delta-Normal methodology is adopted, with a 99% confidence level, and the applied horizon takes into account the number of days taken to undo any existing exposure. The methodology is applied to Trading and Regulatory Portfolios (Trading Portfolio positions plus exposure in foreign currency and commodities of the Banking Portfolio). Additionally, for the measurement of all risk factors of the options portfolio, the models of historic simulation and the Delta-Gamma-Vega are applied, whereby the most conservative between the two prevails. For the calculation of the volatilities, correlations and historical returns, a window of at least 252 working days was adopted.

For regulatory purposes, the need for capital, relating to Banking Portfolio shares, is realized through the evaluation of credit risk, as determined by the Central Bank of Brazil, i.e., they are not included in the calculation of market risk.

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Portfolio

The measurement and control of the interest rate risk of the Banking Portfolio are mainly made from the Economic Value of Equity (EVE) and Net Interest Income (NII) variation methodologies, which measures the economic impact on the positions and the impact in the Organization’s income respectively, according to the scenarios drawn up by the Economic area of the Organization. These scenarios seek to determine positive and negative movements that may occur in the curves of interest rates and, consequently, affect the applications and funding of the Organization.

The EVE methodology consists of re-pricing the portfolio, subject to a variation in interest rates and taking into consideration any increases or decreases in the rates used for the calculation of the present value and the total duration of assets and liabilities. Therefore, the economic value of the portfolio is calculated with both the market interest rates on the date of the analysis and with the scenarios designed. Therefore, the difference between the values obtained for the portfolio will be the Delta EVE.

In the case of the NII – Net Interest Income, the methodology intends to calculate the Organization’s variation in the net revenue interest (gross margin) due to eventual variations in the interest rate level through the same scenarios mentioned above, that is, the difference between the calculated NII in the base scenario and the calculated NII in the scenarios of increase or decrease of the interest rate will be Delta NII.

For the measurement of interest rate risk in the Banking Portfolio, behavioral premises of the clients are used whenever necessary. As a reference, in the case of deposits and savings, which have no maturity defined study for the verification of historical behaviors, are carried out as well as the possibility of their maintenance. Through these studies, the stable amount (core portion) as well as the criterion of allocation over the years are calculated.

Evolution of Risk Exposure

In this section, we present the evolution of the VaR that is calculated by the internal model, Stress Analysis and Sensitivity Analysis.

VaR Internal Model – Trading Portfolio

The Trading Portfolio VaR for the 1-day horizon and net of tax effects of 2023 was higher than it was at the end of 2022, mainly due to the increase of the exposure in the Extended Consumer Price Index (IPCA)/ General Market Price Index (IGP-M).

Note: VaR for the 1-day horizon and net of tax effects.

The “Other” risk factor includes investment funds, commodities, non-linear instruments and the negative goodwill of the public security (LFT).

VaR Internal Model – Regulatory Portfolio

Since January 2013, Bradesco has used its internal market risk models, which were used for their management, in the calculation of the regulatory capital requirement⁽¹⁾ for every risk factor and for all of the Organization’s business. For the calculation of VaR, the Delta-Normal methodology is adopted, with a 99% confidence level, and the applied horizon takes into account the number of days taken to undo any existing exposure. The methodology is applied to Trading and Regulatory Portfolios (Trading Portfolio positions plus exposure in foreign currency and commodities of the Banking Portfolio). It is important to highlight that to measure all of the options portfolio’s risk factors, the risk models of historical simulation and the Delta-Gamma-Vega are applied, whereby the most conservative of the two prevails, which is the risk of options added to the VaR of the Portfolio. It is important to note that the value at risk is extrapolated for the regulatory horizon⁽²⁾ (the highest between ten days and the horizon of the portfolio) based on the time root method. The values of VaR and Stressed VaR demonstrated below are for the horizon of ten days and are net of tax effects.

(1)

In order to calculate the share of the Market Risk, the capital requirement will be the maximum between the internal model and 80% of the standard model, according to Circulars No. 3,646/13 and No. 3,674/13 of the Central Bank of Brazil; and

(2)

The maximum between the maintenance period (holding period) of the portfolio and 10 days, which is the regulatory minimum horizon required by the Central Bank of Brazil, is adopted.

Stock Prices	6	5	8	8

Average VaR in the year	66	122	47	79
Minimum VaR in the year	27	54	33	41
Maximum VaR in the year	156	288	83	192

Note: VaR for the 10-day horizon and net of tax effects.

For the purposes of the calculation of the regulatory capital requirement, in accordance with the internal model, one must take into consideration the rules described in Circular Letters No. 3,646/13 and No. 3,674/13 of the Central Bank of Brazil (Bacen), such as the use of VaR and Stressed VaR without tax purposes, of the average of the last 60 days and the multiplier.

Stress Analysis – Trading Portfolio

The Organization evaluates, also daily, the possible impact on positions in stress scenarios to a horizon of 20 working days, with a limit set in the governance process. Thus, considering the effect of diversification between the risk factors and the net amounts of tax effects, the possibility of an estimated average loss in stress outcomes would be R$191 million in 2023 (2022 – R$118 million), where the estimated maximum loss would be R$319 million (2022 – R$265 million).

At end of the year	148	78
Average in the year	191	118
Minimum in the year	94	53
Maximum in the year	319	265

Note: Net amounts of tax effects.

Sensitivity analysis

The Trading Portfolio is also monitored daily by sensitivity analyses that measure the effect of market shifts and price curves on our positions. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis of the Organization’s financial exposures (Trading and Banking Portfolio) is performed on a quarterly basis.

Note that the impact of the financial exposure on the Banking Portfolio (notably interest rates and price indexes) do not necessarily represent a potential accounting loss for the Organization because a portion of loan operations, held in the Banking Portfolio, is financed by demand and/or savings deposits, which are “natural hedges” for any future variations in interest rates and, moreover, interest rate variations do not represent a material impact on the institution’s result, as Loans are held to maturity. In addition, due to our strong presence in the insurance and pension plan market, Bradesco holds a large volume of assets on which price adjustments would also impact the linked technical reserves.

The sensitivity analysis of the Trading Portfolio, which represents exposures that may have a material impact on the Organization’s results, is presented below. Note that the results show the current impact for each scenario on a static portfolio position. However, the market is highly dynamic, which currently results in continuous changes in these positions but does not necessarily reflect the position shown here. Moreover, as previously mentioned, the Organization has an ongoing process of market risk management, which constantly seeks to adjust positions, in order to mitigate related risks according to the strategy determined by Senior Management. Therefore, in cases of deterioration indicators in a certain position, proactive measures are taken to minimize any potential negative impact, aimed at maximizing the risk/return ratio for the Organization.

The sensitivity analysis of the financial exposures (Trading and Banking Portfolios) of the Organization were carried out, based on scenarios prepared for the respective dates, always considering market data at the time and scenarios that would adversely affect our positions, according to the examples below:

§

Scenario 1: Based on market information (B3, Anbima, etc.), stresses were applied for 1 basis point on the interest rate and a 1.0% variation on prices. For example: for a Real/U.S. dollar exchange rate of R$5.29 a scenario of R$5.34 was used, while for a 1-year fixed interest rate of 13.41%, a 13.42% scenario was applied;

§

Scenario 2: 25.0% of stresses were determined based on market information. For example: for a Real/U.S. dollar exchange rate of R$5.29 a scenario of R$6.61 was used, while for a 1-year fixed interest rate of 13.41%, a 16.76% scenario was applied. The scenarios for other risk factors also accounted for 25.0% of stresses in the respective curves or prices; and

§

Scenario 3: 50.0% of stresses were determined based on market information. For example: for a Real/U.S. dollar exchange rate of R$5.29 a scenario of R$7.94 was used, while for a 1-year fixed interest rate of 13.41%, a 20.12% scenario was applied. The scenarios for other risk factors also account for 50.0% of stresses in the respective curves or prices.

4.4 – Judicial, administrative or arbitral proceedings in which the issuer or its subsidiaries are a part of, discriminating between labor, tax, civil, environmental and others

The Organization is party to a number of labor, civil and tax lawsuits, arising from the normal course of business.

In our relevance analysis of the lawsuits, which considers: (i) the opinion of the legal advisors; (ii) the nature of the shares; (iii) the similarity with previous lawsuits; (iv) the complexity; and (v) the opinion of courts (whenever the loss is assessed as probable), we did not identify relevant lawsuits that could have an influence on the investment decision. In addition, the Management understands that the provision constituted is sufficient to meet the losses that result from the respective lawsuits.

Although we do not have relevant lawsuits, according to the criteria mentioned above, we have listed below the processes that have values, assets or rights involved, above the materiality of R$750 million, which represents 0.5% of the Reference Equity of the issuer (R$149,969 million). It is important to note that possible differences found between the proceedings disclosed below and the values disclosed in the Notes refer to proceedings that, individually, have lower materiality than that which we consider relevant.

f. principal facts	Judicial Proceeding, in which a plea was made since January 2007: (i) to recognize and declare the non-enforceability of the COFINS and of the contribution to the PIS, in the modality required by Law No. 9,718/98, preventing it, because its incidence on income earned its inconsistent with the concept of turnover (production of sales of merchandise and of services provided); (ii) to recognize and declare the non-enforceability of the COFINS levied at 3%, maintaining the levy at 2%; and (iii) to recognize the existence of amount unduly collected as PIS (basis of calculation) and as COFINS (basis of calculation and levy) and the consequent credit rights, and authorize the compensation of the values in reference against the installments due of taxes and contributions managed by the Brazil's Federal Revenue Department. The discussion is restricted to the triggering events until December 2014. On March 23, 2007 a partial injunction was obtained, moving away from only the requirement of the collection of the PIS and COFINS on the basis of calculation as determined by Law No. 9,718/98. On November 23, 2007 the sentence was given as unfounded, re-establishing the Injunction following the favorable decision obtained through a bill of review. On January 21, 2011 judgment was given as partially favorable, declaring as unconstitutional the incidence of the PIS and COFINS of Law No. 9,718/98 for other income that is not of turnover.

Regarding the spread of the culture of risks, the Organization has policies, standards and procedures for the management of risks and of capital. These instruments establish the basic guidelines of activity expressed by Senior Management in line with the standards of integrity and ethical values of the institution and cover all of the activities of the Organization and related companies.

The policies, standards and procedures shall ensure that the Organization maintains a control framework that is compatible with the nature of its operations, the complexity of its products and services, activities, processes, systems and the size of their risk exposure.

The risk management and capital policies are aligned with the strategic objectives of the Organization, with the best national and international practices, in accordance with laws and regulations issued by the supervisory agencies, reviewed, at least annually, by the Board of Directors and made available to all of the employees and companies that are associated through the corporate intranet.

b)

the objectives and strategies of the risk management policy, if applicable, including:

i.

the risks against which one seeks protection:

The management corporate process allows the risks to be proactively identified, measured, mitigated, monitored and reported, which is necessary in view of Bradesco’s complex products and services offered as well as the Organization’s activity profile, and is composed of the following stages:

ä	Identification	☐	Identifying risks related to the Organization’s activities, regarding business, products and services evaluation and classification in the risk scope.
	â
	Measurement	☐	Calculating expected and unexpected losses through internationally known methodologies, either under ordinary market conditions or stressful situations. Compatible measurement tools are used due to the complexity of existing operations, products and services.
	â
		☐	Assumption of risk: represented by the decision to incur the risk in accordance with the appetite;
	Governance	☐	Non-acceptance of the risk: decision of the Organization where the risk is outside its appetite; and
		☐	Mitigation: represents the measures taken by the Organization to reduce risks by adopting actions that minimize the impact should there be contrary events. For instance, it comprises internal control activities, the use of collateral, fiduciary guarantees, hedges, insurance, risk transfer, among others.
	â
	Monitoring	☐	The Organization has several activities focused on ensuring the proper behavior of risks, respecting the policies and established limits, and also verifies the effectiveness of internal controls and correct design of processes and their updates.
	â
ã	Reporting	☐	Focuses on all actions involving the disclosure of risk and control information, carried out on a timely basis, involving all levels of the Organization, market and domestic and foreign regulatory bodies.

In relation to the risks indicated in item 4.1, the objectives and strategies of the risk management policies are aimed at ensuring compliance with the Organization’s risk appetite. The risk appetite refers to the types and levels of risks that the Organization proposes to admit in running its business and achieving its objectives. The Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) is an important tool that synthesizes the risk culture of the Organization.

At the same time, RAS emphasizes the existence of an efficient process of assignments in the operational risk management and in the performance of control functions, as well as for mitigation and disciplinary actions and processes of scheduling and reporting to Senior Management upon breach of the risk limits or control processes established.

The Risk Appetite Statement is reviewed on an annual basis¹, or whenever necessary, by the Board of Directors and permanently monitored by forums of the Senior Management and business and control areas.

RAS reinforces the dissemination of the risk culture by disclosing the main aspects of risk appetite of the Organization to all its members.

---

¹ The Risk Committee, in relation to the RAS, has the following attributions: a) to evaluate the risk appetite levels established in the Risk Appetite Declaration and the strategies for its management, considering the risks individually and in an integrated way; and b) to supervise the observance, by the institution's management, of the terms of the RAS.

For the many types of risks, whether measurable or not, the Organization established control approaches, observing the main global dimensions: Capital, Liquidity, Profitability, Credit, Market, Operational, Reputation, Model, and Qualitative Risks.

The monitoring of appetite is done by means of effective control processes, in which the managers are informed about the risk exposures and the respective use of the existing limits. The reporting is carried out by means of a system of alerts, which facilitates the communication and highlights the possible exceptions to the limits, which require discussion, authorization for exceptions and/or measures of adequacy, permeating all spheres of the Organization, supporting the Senior Management in evaluating whether the results are coherent with the risk appetite.

ii.

the instruments used for protection:

In addition to the policy of risk and capital management, the Organization also has a norm of Hedging transactions made by the Treasury whose goal is to define the criteria for the protection of Bradesco’s Treasury to exposures to market risk factors and to manage liquidity risks. The content of this norm is stated in item 5.2 (b) of this document.

Detailed information regarding risk management process, reference equity as well as our risk exposures, can be found in the Report “Risk Management – Pillar 3”, available on the Investor Relations website (bradescori.com.br – Notice to the Market).

iii.

the organizational structure of risk management:

The structures of our risk and capital management function consist of a number of committees, commissions and departments responsible for assisting our Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Officer and the Board of Executive Officers of the Organization in making strategic decisions.

The Organization has the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee – COGIRAC, whose role is to advise the Chief Executive Officer on the fulfillment of its duties related to the management and control of all risks and the capital of the Organization.

The risk management structure also has the Executive Committees for: a) Risk Monitoring; b) Risk Management; c) AMLTF/Sanctions and Information Security/Cyber; it also has the Executive Committee of Products, Services and Partnerships, and the Executive Committees for our business units, whose tasks include suggesting limits for any exposure to their related risks and devising mitigation plans to be submitted for the Risk Committee’s evaluation and deliberation of the Board of Directors.

Additionally, the Risk Committee is responsible for assessing the structure of risk management of the Organization and occasionally proposing improvements, and challenge the Organization’s risk structure in the face of new trends and/or threats, as well as advising the Board of Directors in the performance of its assignments related to the management and control of risks and capital.

Corporate Governance of the Organization counts on the participation of all of its hierarchical levels, which aim to optimize the performance of the company and to protect interested parties, as well as to facilitate access to capital, add value to the Organization and contribute to its sustainability, mainly involving the aspects that focus on transparency, and equality of treatment and accountability. This framework meets the guidelines established by the Board of Directors.

In this context, the management of risks and capital is carried out by means of collective decision-making, supported by specific committees. This process counts on the participation of all the layers that are encompassed by the scope of Corporate Governance, which comprises Senior Management and the various areas of business, operations, products and services.

c)

adequacy of the operational structure and internal controls for the verification of the effectiveness of the policy adopted

The integrated management of risks and internal controls is structured in three lines, as mentioned in item 5.2 of this Reference Form.

7. Shareholders’ meeting and management

7.1 – Describe the main characteristics of the issuing authority's management bodies and fiscal council, identifying:

a) main characteristics of the policies for indicating and filling positions, if any, and, if the issuer discloses it, places on the worldwide network of computers in which the document can be consulted

The Board of Directors approved in 2017 the Policy of Nomination and Succession of Directors of the Bradesco Organization. This Policy guides the process of appointing administrators, which comprises both members of the Board of Directors and the Board, at its various hierarchical levels.

It states that both the availability of time and aspects of diversity, such as gender, ethnicity, color, age, marital status, sexual orientation, religious choice, physical condition or socioeconomic class, in addition to diversity of experience and technical and behavioral competences, should be respected in the process of appointing candidates for possible vacancies in the Board of Directors and the Board of Executive Officers.

This whole process of appointing uses criteria of meritocracy, in addition to the aspects already mentioned. In this way, even any Executive Officer has the possibility of being elected to compose the Board of Directors.

The Policy of Nomination and Succession is publicly available on Bradesco IR (Corporate Governance – Bylaws, Policies, Standards and Compensation Agreement).

b) if there are performance evaluation mechanisms, informing, in a positive case:

i. the periodicity of the evaluations and its scope

Members of the Board of Directors

The annual evaluation of the Board of Directors, as a Collegiate Body, and of its members on an individual basis, has been taking place since 2006, the year in which the attributes for conducting the assessment, by the Chairman of the Body, were established and formalized.

In 2020, the process was modified and research was sent to each of its members for their self-evaluation, evaluation of its peers and of the Body itself. The result of the evaluation of the Body as collegiate was disclosed to the entire Board, in an Executive Session in January 2021.

Since 2021, aiming at the continuous improvement of good governance practices, the annual evaluation process of the Board of Directors, both individually from its members and from the collegiate, has been conducted by an independent company, which, based on questionnaires and individual interviews with Managers and Committee members subordinate to the Board of Directors, published, in December 2021, the final result of the evaluation of the Board as Collegiate Body, a process that continued throughout 2022, regarding the prioritization of key development themes: succession, dynamics and governance.

In August 2023, the same consulting company carried out a new evaluation process of the Board of Directors as well as the Board of Executive Officers, and in October, the result was presented to the members.

As for the individual evaluation, the consulting company consolidates the information collected from each Board member, individually, with the information assigned by the other members, in a strictly confidential nature, of that evaluated member. At the end of the process, each Board member receives only their final assessment in order to ensure the effectiveness of the research, but the Chairman of the Board of Directors becomes aware of all individual assessments and conducts the Feedback process when necessary.

The evaluation, therefore, makes it possible to identify the Body’s strengths, of the points for improvement, as well as the actions to be implemented, in order to, among other things, provide feedback and submit the names of the candidates for possible re-election.

Members of the Committees

Bradesco’s Committees which report to the Board of Directors are evaluated on the basis of the fulfillment of their tasks, which are established in the respective Charters. During the year, there were some assessments of controls at entity level, which were used to monitor and detect relevant deviations or relevant errors and materials in the processes. In these assessments, the internal controls help to ensure that the guidelines are being executed.

The interaction between the Committees and the Board of Directors is intense in Bradesco. The number of committee sessions, as well as meetings with the Board and with different departments, denotes the good relationship between these bodies and the Board, as well as the Senior Management’s support for the development of the activities. Moreover, the presence of the Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers members within the Committees further facilitates the relationship between the bodies, as well as their functioning.

Annually, the Audit Committee formalizes the Self-Assessment of its members and approves the instruments with the Coordination. It contemplates the aspects related to the technical knowledge and performance of the Committee Members on the various relevant issues and Areas of the Bradesco Organization, namely:

·

Financial and Accounting Statements;

·

Loan Operations, Treasury / Investment Funds (Capital Market) and Insurance;

·

Use of Cloud, Digital Bank, Fintechs and Bigtechs, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Bigdata, Open Finance, General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and Cyber Security;

·

Risk Management and Internal Controls;

·

Compliance, Conduct and Ethics; and

·

Technical evaluation of Audits – Independent and Internal (scope, coverage and results).

Members of the Board of Executive Officers

The evaluation of the CEO is carried out by external consultancy, as with the Board of Directors.

The Chief Executive Officer, Vice-President Officers and Executive Officers evaluate their directors. The Board of Executive Officers (Vice-Presidents and Executive Officers) and the other officers, are classified under the heading “Officers” (below).

Every three months, the other Officers are evaluated and the result of this evaluation is also used for the eventual receipt of variable compensation. The Nomination and Succession Policy of the Bradesco Organization establishes that both the availability of time and aspects of diversity, such as gender, race, ethnicity and age group, as well as diversity of experience and technical and behavioral competencies, are respected in the process of nomination of possible candidates for vacancies on the Board of Directors. This process occurs by meritocracy. Thus, any Executive Officer, apart from the aspects mentioned above, has the possibility of being elected to compose the Board of Directors.

Officers

The individual performance of the Management, as well as that of their corresponding areas, is accompanied by their respective superiors regarding the process of formal evaluation, following the requisites of Resolution No. 3,921/10.

For the formal evaluation process, specific indicators are defined for the evaluation of the areas and for individual evaluation, according to the functions of the Management, considering the business-oriented areas, control areas and other support areas.

For the evaluation of the areas, at least the following groups of indicators and/or concepts are considered:

a)

actions of the main activity: are criteria that suggest the goals and objectives of the main activities of the area;

b)

actions geared to operating efficiency: are indicators that measure the operating efficiency, in order to maximize their results with a minimum use of resources

c)

actions directed to customer service: are corporate indicators that measure the exposure to risk and the internal controls, which are properly monitored by the responsible Area (Integrated Risk Control);

d)

actions focused on client service: these are criteria that evaluate the results/levels of satisfaction of internal and/or external clients; and

e)

actions focused on socio-environmental aspects: are indicators that evaluate the level of adherence with the Corporate Sustainability Strategy, in conducting the objectives of the area, considering ESG (Environmental, including Climate change, Social and Governance) and performance in the main Sustainability Indexes and Ratings.

For individual evaluation, at least the following concepts are considered:

a)

quality of products/services: aims to evaluate the quality standards of products/services offered/provided according to the area of the evaluated Manager;

b)

commitment to the strategy: aims to assess whether its performance reflected positively with relevant contributions to Strategic Planning in the period;

c)

participation in board decisions: aims to evaluate the active participation in meetings and committees convened, with positions that contributed to the decisions submitted;

d)

team leadership: evaluates the team management process;

e)

planning: evaluates the capacity to plan the performance of his area in the medium and long term

f)

overview: it mainly evaluates the view of the Managers on future trends to meet market demands; and

g)

it applies to the Board of Directors and its respective members, if applicable, to the indicators listed above.

The performance assessments of the Management of the internal control and risk management areas should be based on the achievement of the objectives of their own roles and not specifically on the overall performance of the Organization. These are considered areas of internal control and risks within the Organization, Integrated Risk Control and Audit and General Inspectorate – AIGL, as well as the related areas of the other companies of the Organization.

ii. methodology adopted and the main criteria used in the evaluations

The methodology used took assessments into account factors, such as: experience, diversity of skills, leadership and communication styles among the directors, structuring, agenda, number of meetings, time spent on topics discussed in meetings, flow of information and tools used, quality of discussions and how decisions are made.

iii. whether external consulting or advisory services have been contracted

For the evaluation of the CEO and the Board of Directors, both of the Body, as an entity, and of the members of the Board individually, Bradesco hired the services of a specialized external consultancy, which elaborated the result of the evaluation through questionnaires and individual interviews with Management and members of Committees subordinated to the Board of Directors.

c) rules for the identification and administration of conflicts of interest

Among the corporate documents that dictate the governance rules in the Bradesco Organization, three clearly express the guidelines to be followed in case of conflicts of interest:

·      the Code of Ethical Conduct, which establishes that in view of any conflict of interest, the manager, employee or stakeholder must promptly inform the fact to his/her superior and peer(s) involved and not engage, even physically, in discussions and deliberations on the referred theme; In the event of conflict during the time of the discussion or deliberation in the administrative or supervisory bodies, the removal of the conflicted person should be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the respective body. If the conflicted person does not manifest himself/herself, another person can do it, if they are aware of the conflict.

·      both the Charter of the Board of Directors and that of the Board of Executive Officers deal with the theme, in the context of the Body, stating that the Managers must intervene in any corporate operation in which they have a conflicting interest with that of the Company or with any company of the Bradesco Organization and deliberate in the presence of any conflict of interest, being incumbent upon them to report their impediment and withdraw, even physically, from discussions and deliberations in relation to the specific theme, recording the withdrawal in the minutes.

e) if any, specific objectives that the issuer has regarding the diversity of gender, color or race or other attributes among the members of its management bodies and its fiscal council

None.

f) role of management bodies in the assessment, management and supervision of climate-related risks and opportunities

The climate strategy is supervised by the Board of Executive Officers and the Board of Directors through Committees and Commissions that discuss the Sustainability and Risk Strategy of the Bradesco Organization.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the approval of PRSAC - Social, Environmental and Climate Responsibility and has the Sustainability and Diversity Committee that aims to advise and report on the evolution and implementation of the sustainability strategy, including the establishment of corporate guidelines and actions and reconciling economic development issues with social, environmental and climate responsibility issues.

We also have a Sustainability Committee, composed of executive officers and officers of areas, with the aim of proposing strategies and solutions that promote the application of the best practices of sustainability to the activities and business of the Organization.

Climate Change is part of the scope of action of the Sustainability and Integrated Risk Control Departments that act in the translation of opportunities and risks, supporting governance and business integration.

From the perspective of risk, the management structure is composed of forums and departments that subsidize the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the Board of Executive Officers of the Organization in the exercise of their duties.

We highlight the Risk Committee, which aims to evaluate the degree of adherence of the processes of the risk management structure to the established policies and propose recommendations to the Board, in addition to overseeing the actions and performance of the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the observance, by the Board of Executive Officers of the Organization, of the terms of the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS).

We also count on the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee (COGIRAC), composed of executive officers, the CEO and the CRO, which aims to ensure compliance with all risk and capital management policies, follow up the risk profile, performance, the need for capital and sufficiency, exposures, limits and risk controls and evaluate the effectiveness and compliance of the Internal Controls System.

 

7.2 – In relation specifically to the board of directors

a)     permanent bodies and committees that report to the board of directors

Bradesco’s administrative structure has a Board of Directors, a Statutory Board of Executive Officers and seven Committees that advise the Board of Directors in establishing the corporate strategy and policies. They are the Remuneration and Audit Committees, which are statutory, and those of Integrity and Ethical Conduct, Risks, Nomination and Succession, Sustainability and Diversity and Strategic, which are not statutory.

Audit Committee:

Pursuant to our Bylaws and to Central Bank of Brazil regulations since April 2004, we established the Audit Committee, comprised of three to five members, one of which is appointed coordinator, all of them appointed and subject to replacement by the Board of Directors. Appointments to our Audit Committee are for a term of two years, and they may be re-elected, limited to a maximum period of up to five (5) years. Previous members of the Audit Committee can only rejoin the body after a minimum period of three (3) years from the end of their last allowed reappointment. Up to one-third of the members of the Audit Committee may be reappointed with respect to the maximum term of up to ten (10) consecutive years.

At least one of the members of the Audit Committee must have proven knowledge in the area of accounting that qualify it for the role and at least one of the members of the Audit Committee must be a member of the Board of Directors that does not participate in the Board of Executive Officers.

The member of the Audit Committee may be dismissed by the Board of Directors at any time during the term of their term of office, in cases of conflict of interest, non-compliance with the obligations inherent to their position or if they perform below the expected performance of the Organization.

The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending and advising the Board of Directors in its tasks related to the monitoring of the accounting practices adopted in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, for the indication and assessment of the activities of independent auditing, as well as the monitoring of the Internal Audit.

The attributions and other details about the Committee are available on the IR website of Banco Bradesco (Corporate Governance – Committees - Audit).

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for advising the Board of Directors in conducting the remuneration policy for the Managers, in accordance with the internal policies and regulations governing the matter, as well as applicable regulations and legislation.

This Committee may also, at the request of the Board of Directors, where appropriate, evaluate and propose the remuneration of members of other statutory bodies as well as hire specialized professional services, when it deems it convenient.

The responsibilities of the Committee are available on the Investor Relations (IR) website of Banco Bradesco (Corporate Governance – Committees - Remuneration).

Risk Committee

The purpose of this Committee is to advise the Board of Directors of Banco Bradesco S.A. in the performance of its attributions related to risk and capital management.

Risk and capital management, in turn, is carried out through collegiate body decisions, relying on specific committees. This process counts on the participation of all layers covered by the scope of Corporate Governance, which includes from Senior Management to the various areas of business, operational, products and services, such as the Audit Committee, the Integrity and Ethical Conduct Committee, the Internal Audit and several executive committees, in addition to the Risk Committee.

The responsibilities of the Committee are available on the Investor Relations (IR) website of Banco Bradesco (Corporate Governance – Committees - Risk).

b)how the board of directors evaluates the work of the independent audit, indicating whether the issuer has a policy of hiring extra audit services with the independent auditor and, if the issuer publishes the policy, locations on the worldwide network of computers where the document can be consulted

The Bank’s independent audit reports to the Board of Directors, by means of the Statutory Audit Committee of the Bradesco Organization.

The Audit Committee is the body responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors the entities to be contracted for the rendering of independent audit services to examine the financial statements, in addition to their salaries and replacements, as well as for the Actuarial Audit services, in the case of the Grupo Bradesco Seguros, in addition to its remuneration and substitutions.

In the assessment of the effectiveness of the independent audit, the Audit Committee should, also, analyze, previously, the hiring of the independent auditor for the provision of other services that are not the audit of the financial statements, ensuring their independence and the observation of the legislation in force and Standards of the Profession, reporting to the Board of Directors, at least semiannually. This assignment of the Committee is formalized in its Rules of Procedure which was approved by the Board of Directors and is publicly available on the Investor Relations website (Corporate Governance – Committees – Audit).

Regarding the relationship of the independent audit with the Audit Committee, The Committee meets with the independent auditing firm to discuss the planning of the work for the period, and throughout the fiscal year, the auditing firm presents its achievements and key findings to the Committee. Reporting to the Board

of Directors is done by both the independent auditors and the Committee through meetings held during the fiscal year.

The company has a policy for hiring independent audit services, approved by the board of directors, which establishes an effective process for hiring this type of service, aligned with the applicable laws and regulations. In addition, it guarantees the independence and objectivity necessary for the performance of Independent Audit activities.

7.7 – Describe the provisions of any agreements, including insurance policies, which provide for the payment or reimbursement of expenses incurred by directors, arising from the repair of damages caused to third parties or to the issuer, of penalties imposed by state agents, or agreements with the aim of terminating administrative or judicial proceedings, by virtue of the exercise of their duties

The managers and other representatives of Bradesco have two mechanisms of property protection, namely: (a) the General Civil Liability Insurance of Management (Insurance “Directors & Officers” – D&O), and/or (b) the Indemnity Contracts whose possibility of accession was approved at the Special and Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of March 10, 2022.

The purpose of the D&O Insurance is to guarantee worldwide to its managers the payment and/or reimbursement of expenses incurred by unlawful acts committed in the exercise of its management duties and that result in claims for damages or legal claims, whether arising from third parties, or from third party individuals, or from the use of the insurance services of the company. legal entities or governmental bodies that, supposedly, feel harmed by acts practiced by insured persons.

It should be noted that the policies do not cover: (i) claims filed against insured persons when they are committed with deceit, fraud or bad faith by the manager; (ii) claims in countries blocked by economic sanctions; and (iii) environmental damage in the USA.

Insured means any natural person who has been, is or will be, as the case may be, a member of the Board of Directors, the Board of Executive Officers, the Fiscal Council or any other statutory body or body created by Bradesco's contract or bylaws or its controlled companies and/or subsidiaries, or any employee who has management authority and/or representation before third parties or whose position implies in the representation of fact or law of the company to third parties.

For the period from November 20, 2022 to November 20, 2023, the contracted coverage was US$170 million and the total premium was US$14.6 million, already including the IOF. The D&O Insurance was renewed for the period from November 20, 2023 to November 20, 2024, with contracted coverage of US$170 million and the premium paid of US$10.5 million.

Without prejudice to purchasing the D&O, Bradesco may sign contracts of indemnities in favor of (i) members of the Board of Directors, of the Board of Executive Officers, of the Fiscal Council and of the advisory committees of Bradesco or of its subsidiaries, (ii) employees who exercise the role or position of management in the Company or its subsidiaries and (iii) people, employees or otherwise, who have been appointed by Bradesco to hold positions, whether statutory or not, in entities in which the Company participates as a member, associate or sponsor (jointly or separately “Beneficiaries”), in order to pay for expenses, indemnities and other amounts incurred by them in connection with claims, inquiries, investigations, proceedings and arbitration, judicial or administrative proceedings, in Brazil or abroad, involving acts by the Beneficiaries in the regular exercise of their duties or authority, established by Bradesco.

Bradesco considers fundamental the existence of property protection mechanisms of Insured Persons/Beneficiaries, as a way of attracting and retaining qualified employees due to the importance of the work they develop and the circumstances that may lead to loss or losses arising from the regular exercise of their duties, in order to guarantee the conditions to exercise them with serenity and safety.

Composition of remuneration, indicating:

i.

description of the various elements that make up the remuneration, including, for each of them:

·

its objectives and alignment with the issuer’s short, medium and long-term interests

a)

Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers

The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the other Officers consists of Fixed Compensation, represented by Monthly Compensations fixed for the duration of their term, and Variable Compensation, based on target criteria and performance indicators, attributed according to the criteria of multiple Monthly Compensation, up to the limit authorized by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

In addition, annually, a proposal is submitted to the approval of the Shareholders’ Meeting to fund the Pension Plan for Managers, the amounts of which are shown in item 8.2, as post-employment benefits, which aims to ensure the commitment of managers and the CEO to the present and future development of the Company’s activities, that is, its operations focusing on business perpetuity and long-term value generation.

Pursuant to CVM/SEP Annual Circular Letter 2024, we are not indicating in item 8.2, regarding years 2021, 2022 and 2023, the amounts corresponding to social security contributions (INSS) paid by Bradesco. For the prediction of the current fiscal year, we are also not considering the contributions to the INSS.

b)

Fiscal Council

The remuneration of the members of the Fiscal Council is established by the Shareholders’ Meeting that elects them. For the Effective Members (in-office), their remuneration may not be less than ten percent (10%) of the monthly remuneration that, on average, is attributed to each Officer, as fixed remuneration, not including, in accordance with the current legislation, benefits, representation funds and participation in the Company's profits, in any way.

c)

Audit Committee

The compensation of the Members of the Audit Committee is represented by fixed monthly payments for the term of his mandate, with the exception of a member which only receives compensation as a member

of the Board of Directors, and aims at rewarding the contribution of each member for acting on advising the Board of Directors in the performance of its attributions related to the follow up of the accounting practices adopted in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and of its subsidiaries, as well as in the process of appointing and evaluating the effectiveness of the independent audit.

Another important factor in the definition of the compensation is that the Committee’s members must have high technical qualification so as to exercise their position and at least one of them must have proven knowledge in the areas of accounting and auditing of financial institutions which qualify him to exercise his function, proving the high degree of expertise required from them, including by the regulatory bodies.

d)

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee, defined in the Bylaws, is composed by members chosen among the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and also, as required by CMN Resolution No. 3,921/10, by one (1) non-manager member. The members of the Board of Directors and the non-manager member, when an employee of the Bradesco Organization, are not compensated due to the position of member of the Remuneration Committee. While being a non-employee, when nominated, the member has his/her compensation set by the Board of Directors, according to the market parameters. No Manager of the Bradesco Organization is remunerated for the functions that they exercise in the Bradesco Organization committees.

e)

Other Committees

The members of the other committees are compensated only for the duties they perform in the management bodies or executive areas in which they act in the Bradesco Organization. No Manager of Bradesco Organization is compensated for duties that they perform in the referred committees.

One of the guidelines of the Remuneration Policy of the Management is to ensure that the remuneration practice is related to objectives that seek the valuation of the Bradesco Organization and of the individual, encouraging healthy and ethical behaviors, and not encouraging behaviors that raise risk exposure above the levels considered prudent in the adopted short, medium and long-term strategies adopted by the Bradesco Organization.

As a result of this, through the payment of fixed compensation, Bradesco seeks, in the short-term, to align its interests with those of its Management.

In order to encourage the alignment of interests in the medium-term, Bradesco can make the payment of a variable compensation to its Management, including the CEO, which will be approved once it has been verified that certain indicators have been met.

The payment of the variable compensation will be made upon receipt of fifty percent (50%) in cash and fifty percent (50%) destined to the acquisition of preferred shares issued by Bradesco or PNB shares issued by BBD Participações S.A. (company that is a member of the control group of Bradesco), which shall be recorded and will be unavailable (“Restricted Shares”), becoming available in three (3) equal, annual and successive installments.

The Restricted Shares held by the Directors and Chief Executive Officer will be affected (“clawback”) if there is a significant reduction in Bradesco’s recurring profit, or if the financial result is negative, during the deferral period.

In addition, Managers are entitled to a Pension Plan that aims to ensure that their performance is in line with the sustainability of the business and the creation of long-term values for the Company. This systematic approach binds the Managers to cautious management in practice and in line with the long-term risks, leading to the increase of the values distributed to the shareholders of the Company.

·

·        methodology for calculating and adjusting

Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers

·

Fixed Compensation or Monthly Compensation: monthly fixed compensations established for the period of the Manager’s term.

·

Variable Compensation: amount attributed to the Managers, as performance compensation, in addition to the Fixed Compensation, based on the target criteria and performance indicator. It is important to highlight that the total Variable Compensation will be paid on a date defined by the Board of Directors, and 50% of the net value of the Variable Compensation will be allocated for the purchase of PNB shares issued by BBD Participações S.A. (PNB BBD Shares) and/or preferred shares issued by Bradesco (Bradesco preferred shares), which are filed and unavailable (“Restricted Shares”). The Restricted Shares become available in three (3) equal, annual and successive installments. The first installment will expire one year after the date of the acquisition of shares.

·

Overall Amount: includes the total compensation (fixed compensations and variable compensation).

To determine the overall amount for compensation, Bradesco Organization observes the following criteria:

1.

Bradesco Organization’s Remuneration Committee: proposes to the Board of Directors the Overall Amount for compensation (Monthly Compensation and Variable Compensation). The payment of Variable Compensation will observe the target criteria and performance indicators to be established and will be limited to Overall Amount, to be distributed to the Managers.

To define the Overall Amount for compensation (Monthly Compensations and Variable Compensation), the Remuneration Committee shall observe the following aspects:

·

size and result of the company comparing to its competitors;

·

domestic and foreign economic conditions, taking into consideration the past, present and future scenarios;

·

internal and external factors that may affect the Bradesco Organization’s businesses (current and potential risks); and

·

Bradesco Organization’s Overall performance, involving the recurrent income realized and the capacity to produce cash flows.

The Remuneration Committee will use other indicators when it deems necessary and suitable. In addition, it will use studies, evaluations, surveys and other materials prepared by the technical areas, such as Research and Economic Studies, Controllership, General Accounting and Integrated Risk Control Department, besides other areas it deems appropriate.

2.

Board of Directors: the most important management Body of the Bradesco Organization, it must evaluate the Remuneration Committee proposals and resolve on them.

3.

Shareholders’ Meeting: it is incumbent on the Shareholders’ Meeting to approve the Overall Amount for the compensation of the Company.

Once all the steps to determine and approve the Overall Amount for compensation are fulfilled, it is incumbent on the Board of Directors of Bradesco to establish the compensation of each one of the Managers, comprised by Monthly Compensation and, based on the fulfillment of the target criteria and indicators, Variable Compensation.

Audit Committee

The process to calculate and readjust the Audit Committee’s compensation starts in the Remuneration Committee.

The Board of Directors, on its turn, evaluates the recommendations and proposals of this Committee and defines the amount of compensation for each Committee’s member.

·

key performance indicators are taken into account, including, where appropriate, indicators linked to ESG

Corporate assessment process

The uniformity in the treatment of work areas is one of the keys for the Bradesco Organization’s effectiveness, as a manner to inhibit individualism, maintaining a good work environment favorable for teamwork.

The Organization maintains a collegiate management culture, in which all relevant decisions, business or administrative ones, are made by committees composed, primarily, by Managers.

Thus, even with the establishment of goals and objectives for all areas, individually, considering the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and Statutory Board of Executive Officers, for purposes of compensation, prevails the Overall performance of the Organization, making no segregation of area, whether it is considered as area of business or support, technical or relationship.

This overall performance, denominated in the Corporate Rule as Corporate Assessment Process takes into consideration the outcome of performance indicators, as follows:

·

ROAE – Return on Equity – Adjusted;

·

Overall Customer Satisfaction Index;

·

Basel Index – Level 1;

·

Operating Efficiency Ratio (ER);

·

Social and Environmental Dimension of Market Indexes; and

·

Coverage Ratio.

Individual assessment process

The individual performance of the Managers, as well as their corresponding areas, is accompanied by their respective superiors, according to the formal evaluation process, in compliance with the requirements of CMN Resolution No. 3,921/10.

For the formal assessment process, specific indicators are defined for areas and for individual assessment, according to the Managers’ functions, taking into account the areas for business, controls, and other supporting areas.

For the assessment of areas, at least the following groups of indicators are considered:

a)

main activity actions: are indicators that suggest the goals and objectives of the main activities of the area;

b)

actions focused on operational efficiency: are indicators that measure the operating efficiency, in order to maximize their results with minimum use of resources;

c)

actions directed to risk management: are corporate indicators that measure exposure to risk and the internal controls, properly monitored by the responsible Area (Integrated Risk Control Department – DCIR);

d)

actions directed to customer service: are indicators that assess the results/levels of satisfaction of internal and/or external clients; and

e)

actions directed to environmental aspects: are indicators that assess the degree of compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Strategy, in conducting the objectives of the areas, considering ESG aspects (Environmental, including Climate Change, Social and Governance) and performance in the main Sustainability Indexes and Ratings.

For individual assessment, at least the following indicators are considered:

a)

quality of the products/services: aims to evaluate the quality standards of products/services offered/rendered according to the area of the Manager assessed;

b)

commitment to strategy: aims to evaluate if its performance reflected positively with material contributions to the Strategic Planning in the period;

c)

participation in collegiate decisions: aims to evaluate the active participation in meetings and committees, with opinions that contributed to the submitted decisions;

d)

leadership team: evaluates the team management process;

e)

planning: assesses the ability to plan the activities of their area in the medium- and long-term;

f)

overview: evaluates, mainly, the Managers’ vision about future trends to meet the demands of the market; and

g)

applies to the Board of Directors and its respective members, if suitable, the indicators listed above.

The performance assessment of Managers in the areas of internal control and risk management must be based on the achievement of the objectives of their own functions and not specifically on the overall performance of the Organization. The Integrated Risk Control Department – DCIR and the General Inspectorate Department – IGL are considered areas of internal control and risk management in the context of the Bradesco Organization, as well as the related areas of other companies of the Bradesco Organization.

ii.      reasons that justify the composition of compensation

The compensation structure for the Managers and the CEO of Bradesco, composed of a fixed compensation (monthly fees) and a variable compensation (multiple fixed fees), in line with the guidelines set out in its Management Remuneration Policy, which takes into account the rules issued by CMN Resolution No. 3,921/10, and, in addition, the post-employment benefit in the Supplementary Pension Plan, seek to align the interests of the Managers with the projects and results of Bradesco.

In addition, the composition of compensation and the post-employment benefit are based on the management’s alignment with the short-, medium- and long-term results and risks of the Company, as well as them being justified as a means to retain knowledgeable and high-quality Managers among the staff members of Bradesco.

iii.    existence of non-remunerated members by the issuer and the reason for this fact

Not applicable.

d)

existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, controlled or direct or indirect controllers

Not applicable.

e)

existence of any compensation or benefit related to the occurrence of certain corporate event, such as the sale of the corporate control of the issuer

Not applicable.

Salary and variable remuneration policy

We are committed not only to the well-being of our employees, but also to the recognition of their work through fair wages and a benefits package, security and comfort in the supply of basic needs, as well as professional development opportunities and special credit conditions for the acquisition of consumer goods and real estate.

The compensation practices for the Organization's employees aim to recognize the services provided by these professionals, stimulating them in the search for solutions, aiming at customer satisfaction and business expansion.

The remuneration is composed of monthly salary, which aims to repay the contribution for the performance of each employee, as well as any payments aimed at recognizing the contribution of each one in obtaining results and performance achieved by the Organization.

There is also variable incentive payment according to the evaluations of the organizational results achieved.

The Results Evaluation Programs, when applied, are aimed at recognizing additional efforts in the search for results and are based on quantitative and qualitative criteria, through the fact of achieving financial or non-financial goals at different levels: Global, Area and individual. These are programs that are characterized by valuations aligned and competitive to the market through the fact of reaching and exceeding the goals of sustainable results.

In the organizational structure, there is a specific Committee to deal with compensation issues, which has a permanent character and aims to propose to the Board of Directors the Organization's compensation policies and guidelines, based on the organizational performance goals established by the Board.

The remuneration practices adopted by the Organization are aligned with the interests of society, through the constant maintenance of the policies and guidelines made by the Compensation Committee, which, in its analyses, has as a primary item to consider the return of shareholders.

The Outstanding Performance Award (PDE) is designed for employees who work in the commercial structure of the Branch Network and who have exceeded the performance ordinarily expected.

The Bradesco Organization's Policy and Norm of Consequences are intended to guide and raise awareness regarding the conduct not tolerated resulting from disrespect and non-compliance with the Code of Ethical Conduct, the Internal Regulations, the Integrity Program, the Internal and External Policies and Standards applicable to the Organization's activities. For employees eligible for variable incentives, the Standard provides for an impact on the calculation when any of the possible disciplinary measures are applied.

We maintain good relationships with our employees and their respective unions, which we credit in large part to our policy of valuing the board and transparent relationships.

We have a structure of Trade Union Relations, dedicated so that we have a permanent channel of dialogue and interaction with the representatives of the trade union movement, at the national level, receiving demonstrations, clarifying doubts and enabling a relationship characterized by ease of access, agility and proactivity between the parties.

We respect and comply with the Labor Agreements and Conventions signed, negotiated between representatives of the Organization and employees.

10.5 – Other relevant information

We develop policies, processes and products that raise the human capital of the organization. We have solid practices, we value an environment conducive to development, as well as the culture of health and well-being.

Reinforcing this aspect, we have the Bradesco – Viva Bem, Health, Well-being and Quality of Life Program, focused on disease prevention and health promotion through the adoption of healthy habits, attitudes and behaviors, available to employees, dependents and family nucleus. The program's initiatives are divided into three pillars: In Balance, Healthy and In Motion. We also offer extensive psychosocial support for diverse health-related situations and critical incidents. Through the program we contribute to the maintenance of the organizational climate, leaving the most harmonious, healthy and collaborative, and to the quality of life of employees, offering conditions of balance between work, health and family.

Through the Bradesco Corporate University – Unibrad, whose mission is to provide education for professional excellence and social mobility, aiming at the perpetuity of business, we offer development and training solutions to our employees. In 2023, we invested more than R$106 million in education.

In 2023, Unibrad registered around 1.9 million participations in its various learning programs and solutions, evidencing the interest and importance of providing development opportunities.

Our employees were able to learn from more than 4,500 thousand asynchronous and 1,167 thousand synchronous solutions. Among the themes, data study, corporate skills development, mental health, quality of life, time management, financial education and diversity.

We have a diverse picture strengthened by the heterogeneity of the Brazilian population, at the end of the period, throughout Brazil, 51% of our workforce was composed of women, 29% by blacks and 5% by people with disabilities.

We have established a robust governance for diversity, equity and inclusion, formed by the Sustainability and Diversity Committee, which has the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors; the Working Group on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, formed by employees from various areas and different seniorities who work on initiatives for the evolution of the theme; the Affinity Groups (GAs), with voluntary participation of any employee, regardless of hierarchical level, in the fronts of ethnic-racial, gender, people with disabilities and LGBTI+ and intergenerational inclusion. Each Group has a coordinator, who has the identity marker of the theme represented by the GA, and who sits on the Working Group on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

In addition, in the Human Resources structure, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion area is responsible for catalyzing transformations and managing initiatives that boost representativeness in the staff, acting mainly in four pillars: Person with Disabilities, Gender, Intergenerational, LGBTI+ and Ethnic-racial.

Finally, highlighting some recognitions, we received the GPTW Healthy Management – focusing on recognizing companies that value the health and well-being of its staff members; the 2023 Top Employers Certification, for companies with excellence in people management and employer branding, the 2023 LinkedIn Top Companies Brazil list; the Amazing Places to Work For award - FIA FEEx. Among the indexes, Bradesco also appears in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index and in the IDIVERSA - B3.

 

10.1.a

Considering the human resources strategy, we have among the objectives to continuously drive diversity indicators, to establish increasingly assertive practices.

Therefore, we use organizational climate research as one of the sources of information related to human capital, thus the staff members are able to declare their data, including gender identity if they wish to.

Applied annually, the research is confidential and voluntary, coordinated and accompanied by a specialist area dedicated to the subject and with the support of an external consultancy firm.

possibility of redemption

i) Chance of redemption

Early redemption for taxation reasons

If, in relation to any Series of Notes, as a result of any change or amendment in laws (or in regulations or decrees promulgated under such laws) of Brazil, or when the Issuer is the Bradesco Grand Cayman Branch,

of the laws of the Cayman Islands, or any political subdivision or taxing authority in or of Brazil or, as the case may be, on or of the Cayman Islands, that affect taxation, or any change in the official position concerning the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or decrees (including a decision by competent judgment), alteration or amendment which enters into force on the date of issuance of such Notes, or after such a date, or on any other date that is specified in the Final Terms of the Notes, the Issuer has been or becomes obligated to pay additional amounts beyond the additional amounts which the Issuer would be obligated to pay if the interest payments pursuant to the Notes were subject to withholding or deduction at a rate of 15% as a result of taxes, tariffs and taxes and other governmental charges (“Minimum Level of Retention”). The Issuer may (subject to the prior approval of the Central Bank of Brazil, if applicable), at its option, and having sent notice no less than 45 days in advance and not more than 75 days (that ends, in the case of paid floating rate Notes, in a day that interest should be paid) to holders of Notes (warning this will be irrevocable), redeem all (but not only) of the open Notes which compose the relevant Series, the early redemption amount (Tribute), together with interest accrued (if any) on the Notes, except, however, that no such notice of redemption may be given before 90 days (or, in the case of paid floating rate Notes, a number of days that is equal to the total number of days that occur within the period of interest then in force applicable more banknotes 75 days) before the first date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such additional amounts if a payment in relation to the Notes were won. On such an occasion, the Issuer will not hold the right to redeem the Notes case and becomes obligated to pay any additional amounts that are less than the additional amounts payable to the Minimum Level of Retention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not have the right to redeem the Notes, unless he has taken reasonable steps to avoid the obligation to pay the additional amounts. If he chooses to redeem the notes, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that the Issuer is authorized to redeem the notes in accordance with their terms, and the opinion of an independent lawyer of known reputation, stating that the Issuer was required or will become obliged to pay an additional amount in addition to the additional amounts that must be paid to the Minimum Level of Retention.

ii) Formula for calculating the redemption value:

The payment of the principal of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, will come into effect on the date of payment to the respective holders of the Notes.

i) Maturity, including the conditions of prepayment

Maturity: January 27, 2025.

No Successor Company shall obtain the right to redeem the Notes unless the Issuer had the right to redeem the Notes under similar circumstances.

When a consolidation, merger, sale or transfer in accordance with this condition occurs, the Successor Company should succeed the Issuer and replace it. They may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under the Notes, with the same effect as it would have if the Successor Company had been designated as Issuer of Notes herein.
