This strategic move consolidates the company's control over a key infrastructure asset. As a result of this approval and an amendment to the company's bylaws, dissenting shareholders are entitled to exercise withdrawal rights. The reimbursement value for these shares is set at R$21.43 per share, calculated based on the company's net equity as of December 31, 2024.
