This Notice to the Market may contain forward-looking statements. These statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on the current view and estimates of the Company's management regarding future economic and other circumstances, industry conditions, financial performance and results, the geological event in Alagoas and related legal procedures and from COVID-19 on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results.
