4. Remote Voting Form
For this Meeting, the Company will provide the
remote voting system established by article 21-A of CVM Instruction 481. In this context, shareholders may send their voting instructions
on the agenda of the Meeting as from the present date:
(i) by instructing their custody agent providing
this service on the completion of the remote voting form, in the case of shareholders with shares deposited with a central securities
depository; or
(ii) by instructing the bookkeeping agent of the
Company, Itaú Corretora de Valores, in the case of shareholders with shares deposited with the bookkeeping agent; or
(iii) by completing the Meeting remote voting
form and sending it directly to the Company, in accordance with the form made available at CVM, B3 and the Company’s (www.brasil-agro.com)
websites.
In the case of divergence between any remote voting
form directly received by the Company and the voting instructions contained in the full list of votes sent by the bookkeeping agent for
the same CPF or CNPJ tax registration number, the voting instructions contained in the bookkeeping agent’s voting list will prevail,
and the remote voting form directly received by the Company will be disregarded.
During the voting period, shareholders may change
their voting instructions as many times as they deem necessary, and the last voting instruction received will be acted on by the Company.
Once the voting period is closed, shareholders
may no longer change the voting instructions already sent. If a shareholder considers that a change is necessary, such shareholder must
attend the Shareholders’ Meeting through digital platform, bearing the documents required in items 1 and 2 above, and ask for the
voting instructions sent via distance voting form to be disregarded.
4.1. Exercise of remote vote sent through service
providers
Shareholders who opt to exercise their remote
voting rights through service providers must transmit voting instructions to their custody agent or the Company’s bookkeeping agent,
in accordance with the rules established by the latter. Shareholders must therefore contact their custody agents or the bookkeeping agent
to verify the procedures established by the latter for the issue of voting instructions via remote voting form, and the documents and
information required by the custody agents for the purpose.
Custody agents will forward the shareholder’s
vote received to B3 Central Securities Depository, which, in turn, will create a voting list to be sent to the Company’s bookkeeping
agent.
Under the terms of CVM Instruction No. 481 shareholders
must transmit the remote voting form filled as instructed to their custody agents or to the bookkeeping agent to be received by October
20, 2021, unless a different deadline is established by the custody agents.
It is worth noting that, as determined by CVM
Instruction 481, B3 Central Securities Depository, when receiving shareholders’ voting instructions through their custody agents,
will disregard any divergent instructions on the same resolution that have been issued by the same CPF or CNPJ tax registration number.
Additionally, the bookkeeping agent, also in line with CVM Instruction No. 481, will disregard any divergent instructions on the same
resolution that have been issued by the same CPF or CNPJ tax registration number.
4.2. Remote voting forms sent by the shareholder
directly to the Company
Shareholders who opt to exercise their voting
right remotely may alternatively do so directly to the Company and, in this case, should forward the following documents to Avenida Brigadeiro
Faria Lima, 1.309, 5º andar, Jardim Paulistano, CEP: 01452-002, São Paulo/SP – Brazil, for the attention of the Investor
Relations Office:
(a) a physical copy of Remote Voting Form, duly
completed, initialed and signed; and
(b) a certified copy of the documents required
in item 1 above.

remote voting form(s) and certified copies of the other documents required to be received by October 20, 2021 at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria
Lima, 1.309, 5º andar, Jardim Paulistano, CEP: 01452-002, São Paulo/SP – Brazil, with attention to the Investor Relations
Office. Once the documents referred to in (a) and (b) above are received, the Company will notify the shareholder of the receipt of such
documents and of their acceptance or refusal, under the terms of CVM Instruction 481.
If any remote voting form sent directly to the
Company is not fully completed or accompanied by the supporting documents described in item (b) above, it will be disregarded, and the
shareholder will be notified at the electronic address indicated in item 3 of the distance voting form.
The documents referred to in (a) and (b) above
must be filed with the Company by October 27, 2021. Any distance voting forms received by the Company after this date will be disregarded.
