The meeting, held on October 21, 2026, resulted in the approval of interim dividends and a merger with Agrifirma Agro Ltda. These developments are crucial for the company as they reflect its commitment to enhancing shareholder value and expanding its operational footprint.

In its latest filing, the company reported that it has been actively engaging with shareholders to ensure transparency and accountability in its operations.
The filing indicates that the shareholders present at the meeting represented a significant portion of the company's share capital, with 74.93% present for the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting and 74.92% for the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting.
