as a definitive solution to the emergency payment made,
until then, by the company , which fulfilled its
commitment with payments until October 2021. On October
28, 2021, the company concluded the deposit in court of
the amount provided for the feasibility of the Income
Transfer Program. The amount deposited refers to the
total amount foreseen for the program – R$4.4 billion –

costs and emergency payments made between June and
October 2021. This program is the responsibility of the
Institutions of Justice, which defined the participation

affected, without the participation of Vale.
