Confirmation of Balances in Custody –  Process and Parallel Process for Equity Issuers

Dear Participants,

As mentioned in the newsletter dated October 3, it is important to clarify that for the current process of confirming custody balances and the concurrent procedure for equity issuers, the instruments listed in the application are linked to the securities administrators. These administrators are responsible for approving the orders and act as representatives of equity issuers. This means that the company administering the securities must have access to the web application for balance confirmation in order to perform the confirmation. If you do not have access, please contact your organization’s DCV Evolution security administrator for assistance.

We remind you that this process will continue until October 31 and will be conducted as follows:

• Confirmation of custody balances is done exclusively through the digital application.
• Confirmation of equity balances, specifically from the institution as the issuer, occurs concurrently with the application and is confirmed through letters sent by the auditors of the Supervisory Committee.
• Confirmation of balances related to Fixed Income or Financial Intermediation, specifically regarding the institution as the issuer. This process is conducted through confirmation letters sent by the auditors of the Supervisory Committee.

For more details, please review the service operation manual available in this newsletter.
