and
ANNUAL AND EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’
MEETING OF BRASILAGRO – COMPANHIA BRASILEIRA DE PROPRIEDADES AGRÍCOLAS HELD ON OCTOBER 24, 2023, AT 2 P.M
PROTEST
1. CHARLES
RIVER ADMINISTRADORA DE RECURSOS FINANCEIROS LTDA., a company authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”)
to provide portfolio management services and registered with CNPJ under number 17.723.993/0001-22 (“Charles River”),
hereby, as the manager of the Charles River Fundo de Investimento de Ações (CNPJ No. 14.438.229/0001-17) and the Nordland
Fundo de Investimento de Ações - BDR NÍVEL I – INVESTIMENTO NO EXTERIOR (CNPJ No. 38.537.602/0001-55 (“Funds”),
with reference to the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company held on October 24, 2023 (“Meeting”),
wishes to present to the President of the Board of the Meeting its protest regarding the calculation of the votes of the Funds in the
consolidated remote voting map related to the Meeting disclosed by the Company on October 23, 2023 (“Consolidated Voting Map”).
2. According
to contacts made with the Company’s representatives on this date, upon analyzing the Consolidated Voting Map, we identified that a portion
of the Funds’ votes, submitted through remote voting ballots directly sent to the Company, were not accurately counted.
3. In
this regard, we note that the Funds duly submitted the remote voting ballots to the Company, both with respect to the matters of the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting and the matters of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, on October 13, 2023.
4. Specifically
in the case of the ballot containing matters of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, the Funds voted ‘No’ on item 7, which inquired
the following:
“7. In the event of the adoption
of the multiple voting process, should the votes corresponding to your shares be distributed equally among the members of the slate you
have chosen?”
5. In
this matter, by choosing the ‘No’ option, the Funds expressly decided not to distribute their votes equally among the candidates for the
Board of Directors who are part of the slate, in the event that the multiple voting process was adopted. Furthermore, in accordance with
the ballots sent to the Company, the Funds expressly stated that in case of the adoption of the multiple voting process, their votes should
be distributed as follows: (i) 50% for the candidates Eliane Aleixo Lustosa de Andrade (Sitting - Independent) / Janine Meira Souza Koppe
Eiriz (Alternate); and (ii) 50% for the candidates Isabella Saboya de Albuquerque (Sitting - Independent) / Sérgio Werneck Filho
(Alternate).
6. Taking
these considerations into account and considering that the votes counted in item 8 of the Consolidated Voting Map do not reflect the distribution
expressly guided by the Funds, Charles River requested, prior to the holding of this Meeting, that the Consolidated Voting Map should
have been resubmitted to identify these votes.
7. Even
if the election of the Board of Directors resolved on this Meeting does not take place through the multiple voting process, Charles River
considers it important to note that the Consolidated Voting Map should accurately reflect the voting instructions sent by the Funds on
this item as well.
8. In
this regard, Charles River emphasizes the importance of the voting instructions sent via remote voting ballot, which were previously disclosed
to the market in compliance with CVM Resolution No. 81/2022 (“RCVM 81”), accurately reflecting the vote distributions
in the scenario of a potential multiple voting process.
9. In
the view of Charles River, this issue should be raised regardless of whether the multiple voting process has been adopted or not.
10. This
is because this issue – that is, the accuracy of the Consolidated Voting Map – is important not only to ensure the proper
counting of votes at the end of the meeting, guaranteeing the exercise of the voting rights of all shareholders, including those who participated
via remote voting ballots.
11. Furthermore,
the accurate prior disclosure of the voting instructions contained in the remote voting ballots is important even to allow other shareholders
to see the positions taken by voting shareholders, which can be decisive or at least considered by other shareholders when defining their
own voting strategies during a meeting, especially in elections for members of the Board of Directors, where shareholder coordination
can be important for the election of candidates.
12. In
light of the above, we reiterate the request for the Consolidated Voting Map to be resubmitted to include the votes of all shareholders
who, as well as the Funds, marked ‘No’ on item 7 of the ballot for Annual Shareholders’ Meeting matters.
13. Finally,
we request this protest to be received by the President and to be clearly identified and mentioned in the minutes of the Meeting, and,
in addition to being filed at the Company’s headquarters, it should be submitted for filing with the Public Registry of Commercial Companies
and disclosure, in accordance with applicable regulations, along with the minutes of the Meeting.
