In response, the Company, after inquiring its managers and controlling shareholder, informs that is not aware of any relevant act or fact that justifies the latest oscillations registered with the shares issued by the Company, the number of trades and quantity traded.
However, it is worth mentioning that Bank of America Securities published in the previous day, January 30th, a sell side report, post the market closing, changing the rating for Company stocks from “Buy” to “Neutral”. In addition, yesterday Banco XP published a report increasing the target price of the Company’s shares from R$22.00 to R$27.00, but part of the report erroneously reversed the new target price with the old one, suggesting that the target price would have been reduced rather than increased. Some press replicated articles with incorrect information for a few hours until the error was fixed by XP.
These being the clarifications it deemed appropriate for the moment, the Company subscribes.
