Press Release

Vale clarifies on media articles

 

Rio de Janeiro, June 13, 2024 - Vale S.A. ("Vale") clarifies a media article published by the newspaper Valor^[1] today, mentioning the search for an investor for Aliança Geração de Energia S.A. (“Aliança Energia”). In line with the material fact disclosed to the market on March 27, 2024², Vale reiterates that the closing for the acquisition of the entire 45%-stake held by Cemig Geração e Transmissão S.A. in Aliança Energia, for R$2.7 billion, is subject to customary precedent conditions.

 

The increased stake in Aliança Energia is an important step towards the creation of an energy platform, which will potentially include other assets from Vale's portfolio. As already disclosed to the market in the aforementioned communication, Vale is looking for potential partners for this platform among the main players in the energy market, maintaining its commitment to decarbonize its operations using renewable sources at competitive self-production costs. At this moment, no binding instrument or decision has been made regarding who will be the potential partner for the future platform or its capital structure. Vale will keep the market informed of any material facts regarding the topic.
