Ref.: Request for clarification on bankruptcy petition
Dear Sirs,
We request you to send, by 12:00 pm on 22/09/2021, without prejudice to the provisions of the sole paragraph of Article 6 of CVM Instruction No. 358/02, clarifications on the bankruptcy petition of this company formulated by Roberley Elias, as published in a specific column of the newspaper Valor Econômico, issue of 09/22/2021, as well as other information considered important, including the amounts involved in it and the steps they are taking to health this situation.
The Company clarifies that has not yet been informed of the bankruptcy petition in question. However, as far as we could ascertain, this is a petition for bankruptcy of the Company filed on September 20, 2021 by ENGEPARKER METALÚRGICA LTDA., represented by its attorney-in-fact, Mr. Roberley Elias, through which it requires the summons of the Company to contest the lawsuit and/or make a deposit in the amount of BLR 52,896.52, corrected and plus costs and fees, under penalty of the Company's bankruptcy being declared.
Considering the amount involved, the Company understands that the judicial path chosen by the plaintiff, especially due to the amount of the claim, is incompatible with the Company's solid financial situation. Thus, despite not recognizing the debt, the Company informs that, at the appropriate time, it will adopt all appropriate legal measures and will proceed with the guarantee of the amount and defense in the case.
São Paulo, September 22, 2021.
AMBEV S.A.

Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer
