Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Book-Entry Shareholders financial
"holders of shares held in the book-entry environment"
custody transfers financial
"share transfer instructions (custody transfers)"
Custody transfers are the formal handoff of financial assets or physical commodities from one custodian (the party that holds and safeguards them) to another. Think of it like handing over the keys and paperwork to a safe deposit box: ownership and responsibility move, along with any fees, settlement steps and legal obligations. Investors care because transfers affect when assets can be traded or accessed, create short-term operational or counterparty risk, and can change custody costs or protections that influence portfolio liquidity and safety.
depositary financial
"financial institution acting as depositary"
A depositary is a financial institution that holds and safeguards financial assets, such as stocks or bonds, on behalf of investors. It ensures that ownership records are accurate and that transactions are processed securely. For investors, a depositary provides a trustworthy way to manage their investments, similar to a secure vault that keeps valuables safe and organized.
interest on shareholders’ equity financial
"dividends and/or interest on shareholders’ equity"

NOTICE TO THE MARKET

Change of Share Registrar Agent

 

AMBEV S.A. (“Ambev” or the “Company”), pursuant to CVM Resolution No. 44, dated August 23, 2021, as amended, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that, as of November 23, 2026, ITAÚ UNIBANCO S.A. (“Itaú Unibanco” or the “New Registrar”) will become the financial institution acting as depositary for the Company’s book-entry shares, replacing BANCO BRADESCO S.A. (“Bradesco” or the “Former Registrar”).

Accordingly, as of such date, holders of shares held in the book-entry environment (“Book-Entry Shareholders”) will be assisted by the New Registrar through Itaú Unibanco branches, by telephone at 3003-9285 (state capitals and metropolitan areas) and 0800 720 9285 (other locations), and by email at atendimentoescrituracao@itau-unibanco.com.br. To ensure proper assistance, Book-Entry Shareholders must keep their registration details duly updated with the New Registrar.

Shareholders whose shares are held in custody with B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) will continue to be served as usual by their respective securities brokers and/or custody agents, and trading in the Company’s shares will not be interrupted.

As a result of the migration process, shareholder services provided by the Former Registrar will be suspended from November 12 through November 19, 2026, with respect to the following procedures:

i.Shareholding position inquiries;

 

ii.Off-exchange share transfers;

 

iii.Custody transfers;

 

iv.Payment of any outstanding proceeds;

 

v.Updates to registration details; and

 

vi.Registration of liens and encumbrances, among other procedures.

 

With respect to share transfer instructions (custody transfers) for which the Former Registrar has placed a block but the corresponding deposit has not occurred, the Former Registrar will transfer such blocks to the New Registrar, and such blocks will remain valid until their respective expiration dates.

We reiterate that the change of share registrar will not result in any change to the rights attached to the Company’s shares, including any shareholder distributions, dividends and/or interest on shareholders’ equity. Likewise, any payments made will be credited to the same bank account previously indicated by the Book-Entry Shareholder.
