Vale S.A. filed a report explaining a request from the Brazilian securities regulator about news suggesting its subsidiary Vale Base Metals might be ready for a possible IPO by mid-year. Vale describes ongoing efforts to improve Vale Base Metals’ nickel and copper operations through portfolio reviews, cost reductions and partnerships in Canada.
The company cites recent agreements involving the Thompson nickel belt in Manitoba and a potential copper project in the Sudbury Basin as steps to strengthen long-term value. Vale emphasizes that these initiatives aim to leave Vale Base Metals better positioned for a future capital markets transaction, but states that, as of the date of the letter, there are no ongoing studies or management decisions regarding any potential securities offering.
Vale S.A. reports that Brazil’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office has filed a lawsuit seeking court-ordered suspension of operations along a 16‑km stretch of the second rail line of the Carajás Railroad in Pará State. Vale has already submitted an initial statement in court and will present a full defense in due course.
The company states that, based on information available now, this issue does not represent a relevant operational impact. Vale emphasizes its commitment to transparency and cooperation with authorities and plans to keep the market informed of any material developments.
Vale S.A. reported stronger operating results in 4Q25 and 2025 but a headline accounting loss driven by large non-cash charges. Net operating revenue in 4Q25 was US$ 11.1 billion, up 9% year over year, while Proforma EBITDA reached US$ 4.8 billion, 17% higher, supported by higher iron ore and copper volumes and better copper and by‑product prices.
For 2025, Proforma EBITDA was US$ 15.9 billion, up 3%, and Proforma net income attributable to shareholders rose 28% to US$ 7.8 billion. However, reported net income for 4Q25 was a loss of US$ 3.8 billion, mainly due to a US$ 3.5 billion impairment of nickel assets in Canada and a US$ 2.8 billion write‑off of deferred tax assets, plus higher Samarco provisions.
Iron Ore Solutions generated US$ 4.0 billion of Adjusted EBITDA in 4Q25, essentially flat year over year, while Vale Base Metals EBITDA surged to US$ 1.4 billion, up 157%, helped by strong copper and by‑product pricing and lower all‑in costs. Recurring free cash flow was US$ 1.7 billion in 4Q25 and US$ 4.8 billion in 2025, and expanded net debt fell to US$ 15.6 billion at year‑end. Vale also highlighted progress on tailings dam risk reduction and reparation programs in Brumadinho and Mariana.
Vale S.A. reported that its Board of Directors has appointed Marcio Antonio Chiumento to fill a vacant seat on the board. He brings more than two decades of experience in finance, investments, corporate governance and strategic management at large Brazilian institutions.
Chiumento is currently CEO of Previ, Brazil’s largest private pension fund entity, and previously held several senior roles at Banco do Brasil and Previ. Vale’s Board plans to submit ratification of his appointment to the Shareholders’ General Meeting, with meetings expected on March 12, 2026 and April 30, 2026.

After this adjustment, the proposed new capital stock is R$77,800,000,000.00, divided into 4,539,007,580 book-entry shares without par value, consisting of 4,539,007,568 common shares and 12 special class preferred shares. The increase reflects the allocation of tax incentive amounts previously released by SUDAM and related reserves.
