Risk Appetite financial
"Risk Appetite – Limit of exposure to risks that the Company is willing to accept"
Risk appetite is the amount and kinds of uncertainty or potential loss an investor or organization is willing to accept in pursuit of returns or goals; think of it like how much spice someone will tolerate in a dish before it becomes unpleasant. It matters because it shapes what investments are chosen, how much volatility a portfolio can endure, and the balance between seeking higher gains and protecting capital.

In this context: a) First line: It comprises the business areas, process and project managers, being responsible for the execution of operations and the delivery of products and services, including the Presidency and Vice-Presidencies. It is responsible for the direct management of risks and the implementation of effective internal controls, ensuring that activities take place in accordance with corporate, legal and ethical guidelines. By managing risks at source, the first line ensures operational continuity and the generation and protection of value necessary to achieve organizational objectives; b) Second line: It is composed of specialist areas that establish guidelines, methodologies and standards for risk management, internal controls and compliance – being represented by the Governance, Compliance, Information Security, Sustainability and Risks and Internal Controls Boards. Its role is to support the first line through technical support, monitoring and constructive questioning, without replacing its responsibility for risk management and control execution. By strengthening the resilience, integrity and reliability of information, the second line contributes directly to the generation of value for stakeholders, through the creation of an environment of trust and transparency and to the protection of value through risk-based decision-making; c) Third line: Represented by the Internal Audit, reporting to the CAE and the Board of Directors, it provides independent assessment and advice on the effectiveness of governance, risks and internal controls. Acting with full autonomy in relation to management, it reports its conclusions directly to the governance bodies to promote continuous improvement and the achievement of objectives. This function is essential for protecting value, ensuring that organizational processes are resilient, transparent and aligned with Axia Energia's best market practices and strategic objectives. 4.11 Reporting Structure CLASSIFICATION: PUBLIC POLICY 8/13 PO-GN.01-002 Risk Management and Internal Controls Edition 9.0 Effective Date 04/30/2026 4.11.1 The company's risk management structure is based on the best governance practices, ensuring the autonomy and independence of the areas responsible for the risk management and audit processes, as well as the transparency and free flow of information to the governance bodies, facilitating decision making. 4.11.2 The reporting lines between the areas involved in the process, with the identification of the performance of the three lines, are illustrated in the organization chart inserted in Appendix I of this policy. 5 GUIDELINES 5.1 Axia Energia, in order to achieve the objectives established in this policy, must perform the macro-steps of the risk management and internal control processes described in the following sub-items. 5.2 Risk identification and mapping of internal controls 5.2.1 The identification of risks must recognize and describe the main risks to which the Company is exposed, whether of a strategic or operational nature, including possible changes in its business environment. 5.2.2 For risks of a strategic nature, a corporate Risk Portfolio with events, their respective descriptions and the owners of the risks must be defined. 5.2.2.1 The identification of risks of a strategic nature must be carried out with the participation of the Executive Board and those responsible for the business areas. 5.2.3 For risks of an operational nature, inherent to the Company's processes, internal controls that operate in accordance with the activities performed by the management area must be mapped and designed, in order to ensure operational efficiency, accurate reports and compliance with current laws, regulations and policies. 5.2.3.1 The documentation of internal controls is a guiding and essential tool for the execution of independent tests, whose working papers and planned activities are based on the controls described therein. 5.3 Assessment of risks and internal control environment 5.3.1 In the case of risks of a strategic nature, after their identification, causes and consequences must be raised and qualitative and/or quantitative analyses must be carried out, aiming at the definition of the impact and probability attributes, used in the prioritization of the risks to be treated. 5.3.1.1 In the assessment of strategic risks, the survey and analysis of existing responses and internal controls should also be considered, thus determining the residual risks. 5.3.2 In the case of risks of an operational nature, the internal control environment must be periodically evaluated through Management's tests, contemplating in its scope the key controls, which must be determined based on their relevance to the results of the processes and to the achievement of the Company's objectives and goals. 5.3.2.1 Management's tests aim to evaluate the effectiveness of controls and identify any ineffective controls, as well as recommend improvements to improve the internal control environment. CLASSIFICATION: PUBLIC POLICY 9/13 PO-GN.01-002 Risk Management and Internal Controls Edition 9.0 Effective Date 04/30/2026 5.3.2.2 The external auditor performs the independent tests in accordance with the auditing standards and presents the result of the work through the internal control report, in connection with the financial statements. 5.4 Treatment of risks and remediation of internal control deficiencies 5.4.1 After the evaluation, the Executive Board's position with respect to a risk of a strategic nature must be aligned with the risk appetite defined by the Board of Directors. The positioning options are: a) avoid: the company chooses not to start or continue in business, processes and activities that may generate risks or cause its exposure; b) coexist/accept: the company understands that the exposure to risk is in accordance with its appetite; or understands that the effort to mitigate or transfer it would be greater than the value of the impact caused by its materialization; or, due to the risk being of external origin, but inherent to its activities, there is no way to reduce its exposure. Coexisting with the risk presupposes monitoring the Company's exposure to risk; c) mitigate/transfer: the company seeks to minimize its exposure to risk, either by reducing the impact and/or probability with risk responses and/or design of internal controls, or by transferring/sharing the impacts of the risk with other agents. 5.4.1.1 If the position is to avoid, mitigate or transfer, the Company must execute responses, including through internal controls, aimed at maintaining risk exposure in line with the appetite approved by the Board of Directors. 5.4.2 Deficiencies identified in the internal control environment, whether through Management testing or Independent Audit assessment, must be addressed and remedied through deficiency-specific action plans. 5.4.2.1 Whenever there is a formalized indication of deficiencies, action plans must be created by the areas that own the controls, with the support of the internal controls area, to adapt ineffective controls and/or create necessary controls. 5.5 Monitoring of risks and the internal control environment 5.5.1 In the monitoring process, you must: a) supervise the implementation and maintenance of risk responses and action plans to remedy internal control deficiencies; b) verify the achievement of the objectives of the responses and the remediation plans established, through continuous management activities and/or independent evaluations; c) ensure that responses and remediation plans are fit for purpose, effective and efficient; d) detect changes in the external and internal context, identifying emerging risks; e) analyze changes in risk events, processes, trends, successes and failures, and learn from them. 5.5.1.1 In the periodic assessments of strategic risks, the risk owner areas must make efforts to additionally define proactive monitoring metrics and/or models, or even risk indicators, so that, where defined by the Board of Directors, the status of risk exposure can be monitored, in a more specific format and detail, compared to the limits and tolerances determined by the Board of Directors itself.
