Capital increase by means of private subscription of shares and advance payment of interest on shareholders´ equity declared on March 25 and June 23, 2026

Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco” or “Company”) hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that, at the request of the Company´s controlling shareholders, management evaluated a potential capital increase of the Company, pursuant to which the controlling shareholders would provide a firm commitment to subscribe for up to BRL 8 billion, subject to the preemptive rights of the other shareholders and applicable law and regulations, aiming to strengthen the continuity of Company´s strategic investments and promote long-term value creation for the Company and its shareholders.

The controlling shareholders have a legitimate interest in continuing to invest in the Company, reaffirming and reiterating their strong confidence in the ongoing transformation plan, which is being successfully executed at an accelerated pace and is generating increasingly positive impacts on Bradesco’s operational efficiency and competitive position.

Aligned with the controlling shareholders´ view, the Company´s management believes that a capital increase of up to BRL 10 billion would support the continuation of its rapid pace of strategic investments, through the expansion of significant investments in technology, commercial efficiency, business expansion and reinforcing the institutional commitment to sustainable finance.

In this context, in addition to the payment of interest on shareholders´ equity (“JCP”) approved in December 2025 and payable on July 31, 2026, the Board of Executive Officers has proposed to the Board of Directors to advance the payments of the JCP approved on March 25 and June 23, 2026, to September 15, 2026, as detailed below.

Bradesco informs that, once the present capital increase is fully ratified, there will be, as a consequence, an increase of approximately 0.9 percentage points in its Common Equity Ratio, which will be added to the pro forma Common Equity Ratio of approximately 12.7%, disclosed on May 6, 2026, on the occasion of the 1Q26 earnings release.

Considering the above, the Board of Directors, in a meeting held today:

Due to the approval of the capital increase, the capital stock of the Company shall be increased from R$93,770,000,000.00 to R$103,770,000,000.00, through the issuance of up to 302,876,396 new common shares (“ON Shares”) and up to 301,976,357 new preferred shares (“PN Shares”), all registered book-entry shares, with no par value, at an issue price of R$ 15.43 per ON Share and R$ 17.64 per PN Share, within the limit of the authorized capital.

The period for exercise of the preemptive right shall be from August 6 to September 4, 2026, at a ratio of 5.721967934% over the shares of the same class held by the shareholder on August 4, 2026. The shares issued by the Company shall begin trading on an “ex-subscription right” basis as from August 5, 2026.

 

The issue price was set pursuant to item III of paragraph 1 of Article 170 of Law No. 6,404/76, calculated based on the closing market prices of the Company´s common shares and preferred shares traded on B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) on July 28, 2026 (i.e., the business day immediately preceding the approval of the Capital Increase by the Company's Board of Directors), with the application of a 6% discount to encourage shareholders to participate in the capital increase.

The new shares shall be paid up in cash, at the time of subscription: (i) through debit to a checking account maintained with Banco Bradesco S.A.; and/or (ii) via PIX. Alternatively, in lieu of the two methods described above, shareholders may elect to pay for the subscribed shares, in whole or in part, through the offset of credits arising solely from the JCP declared by the Company on March 25 and June 23, 2026, payable on September 15, 2026, subject to the provisions of item 2 below.

The remaining unsubscribed shares shall be allocated among the subscribers who have expressed their intention to subscribe to such remaining shares at the time of the exercise of their preemptive rights. After the end of the first unsubscribed shares allocation period, should any shares remain unsubscribed, the Company may, at the sole discretion of its management, conduct one or more additional allocations of unsubscribed shares. Subscribers who have expressed their interest in reserving unsubscribed shares in their respective subscription forms shall be entitled to participate in the allocations of unsubscribed shares, including any additional unsubscribed shares, regardless of the class of shares they hold. The specific procedures and deadlines for the subscription and payment of unsubscribed shares and any additional unsubscribed shares, including whether an auction of unsubscribed shares will be held, shall be detailed and disclosed by the Company in due course.

Partial approval of the capital increase is authorized, provided that the minimum amount of BRL 8 billion is subscribed, subject to the other conditions approved by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, upon the expiration of the period for the exercise of preemptive rights, and the subscription of unsubscribed shares, the Board of Directors may partially approve the capital increase, with any unsubscribed shares being canceled, in which case the amount of the capital increase and the number of shares issued shall be adjusted to the amount effectively subscribed.

The information required by Attachment E of Resolution N. 80/2022 of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), regarding the capital increase, is included in the Attachment to this Material Fact.

The payment of the aforementioned JCP will be made on September 15, 2026, so that such funds may be used by shareholders exercising their preemptive rights to pay for the shares subscribed for in connection with the capital increase referred to in item 1 above.

Therefore, the following amounts of JCP will be paid to the shareholders on September 15, 2026:

 

The net amounts per share already reflect the deduction of Withholding Income Tax at the rate of 17.5% (seventeen and a half percent), except for the legal entity shareholders who are exempt from such taxation, who will receive by the declared amounts. The payment will be made as follows:

The shareholders who do not have their data updated must go to a Bradesco Branch of their preference, with their Individual Taxpayer’s ID, Identification Document and proof of residence to update their information and receive the respective amounts to which they are entitled.

Attachment E of CVM Resolution N. 80/2022

Capital Increase

The capital increase will be carried out through a private subscription of new shares.

The capital increase shall enable the reinforcement in the continuation of the accelerated pace of strategic investments, through the expansion of significant investments in technology, commercial efficiency, business expansion and institutional commitment to sustainable finance.

The management does not foresee any legal effects other than those ordinarily arising from a capital increase through a private subscription. The management also does not foresee any economic effects other than those typically associate with a capital increase carried out through a private subscription of shares, particularly considering the shareholders´ preemptive rights to subscribe for the new shares in proportion to their existing shareholdings, with the option to pay up the subscribed shares through the offset of credits arising from the JCP approved by the Company on March 25 and June 23, 2026.

Fiscal Council’s Report - Banco Bradesco S.A. – The undersigned members of the Fiscal Council of Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), having conducted the examination of Bradesco Management´s Proposal to increase the stock capital, in the amount of R$10,000,000,000.00, through an issuance of up to 604,852,753 new shares, registered book-entry shares, with no par value, being 302,876,396 common shares and 301,976,357 preferred shares, with the price of R$ 15.43 per ON Share and R$ 17.64 per PN Share, for private subscription of shares by the shareholders in the period from August 6, 2026 to September 4, 2026, at a ratio of 5,721967934% over the shares of the same class held by the shareholder on August 4, 2026, with payment in cash at the time of subscription: (i) through debit to a checking account maintained with Banco Bradesco S.A.; and/or (ii) via PIX, considering that, alternatively, in lieu of the two methods described above, shareholders may elect to pay for the subscribed shares, in whole or in part, through the offset of credits arising solely from the JCP declared by the Company on March 25 and June 23, 2026, payable on September 15, 2026, have the opinion that the aforementioned capital increase, within the limits of the authorized capital provided for in the Company´s Bylaws, complies with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements and is therefore eligible to be submitted for consideration by the members of the Board of Directors at the meeting to be held on July 29, 2026.”

 

The funds contributed by the shareholders through the payment for the new issued shares will be allocated to (i) continuing the implementation of the ongoing transformation plan, enabling the expansion of significant investments in technological and digital solutions aimed at improving commercial efficiency and provision of services; and (ii) strengthening Bradesco’s capitalization, aiming the sustainable expansion of its business activities.

It shall be issued up to 604,852,753 new shares, being up to 302,876,396 ON shares, and up to 301,976,357 preferred shares.

The new shares to be issued will grant to their holders the same rights, benefits and restrictions currently attributed to Bradesco´s ON shares and PN shares, as described in the table below:

 

The new shares will be entitled to receive all benefits in full, including dividends, interest on shareholders´ equity and any other distributions that may be declared by Bradesco as from the approval of the capital increase by the Central Bank of Brazil (“BACEN”).

Bradesco´s controlling shareholders have assumed a firm commitment to subscribe for the new shares to be issued in the capital increase, until the amount of BRL 8 billion.

The new shares will be issued with the price of R$ 15.43 per ON share and R$ 17.64 per PN share.

The issue price was set pursuant to item III of paragraph 1 of Article 170 of Law No. 6,404/76, calculated based on the closing market prices of the Company´s common shares and preferred shares traded on B3 on July 28, 2026 (i.e., the business day immediately preceding the approval of the Capital Increase by the Company's Board of Directors), with the application of a 6% discount to encourage shareholders to participate in the capital increase.

The price of the new shares will be fully allocated to the capital increase.

 

As this is a capital increase through private subscription, in which the exercise of preemptive rights will be ensured to all shareholders, there will be no dilution of the shareholding interest of those shareholders who subscribe for the shares to which they are entitled in the capital increase. The Company’s Management understands that any dilution resulting from the capital increase in the shareholding of the shareholders who fail to exercise their preemptive right will be justified, given that the issue price of the new shares was set in compliance with the provisions of Article 170, paragraph 1, of Law No. 6,404/1976, and that the capital increase serves the corporate interest, for the reasons set forth in item 3 above.

As Bradesco is a publicly held company whose common shares and preferred shares are both listed for trading on B3 and present adequate market liquidity, the Company believes that the market price criterion, while also observing the provisions of CVM Guidance Opinion No. 5/1979 regarding the determination of different issuance prices for each class of shares, best reflects the value attributed by the market to its issued shares and, therefore, with the application of the discount permitted by law, such criterion is considered the most appropriate method to encourage the subscription of shares and maximize the amount of funds to be raised by Bradesco in connection with the capital increase.

Thus, the issue price was calculated based on the closing market prices of the Company´s common shares and preferred shares traded on B3 on July 28, 2026 (i.e., the business day immediately preceding the approval of the Capital Increase by the Company's Board of Directors), with the application of a 6% discount to encourage shareholders to participate in the capital increase, in accordance with the provisions of item III of Article 170 of Law No. 6,404/1976, subject also to the provisions of CVM Guidance Opinion No. 5/1979.

Considering the volatility of the Brazilian equity market and the potential fluctuations in the trading prices of its shares, and in order to encourage shareholders to exercise their preemptive rights, Bradesco has set the issue price at a 6% discount to the closing market prices of its common and preferred shares on July 28, 2026 (i.e., the business day immediately preceding the approval of the capital increase by the Company's Board of Directors).

 

The 6% discount was determined on compatible levels with the market practices and has the purpose of encouraging shareholders to participate in the capital increase.

Not applicable, considering that the issue price was calculated based on the closing market prices of the Company´s common shares and preferred shares traded on B3 on July 28, 2026 (i.e., the business day immediately preceding the approval of the Capital Increase by the Company's Board of Directors), applying a 6% discount.

There was no capital increase in the last 3 years.

Shareholders who do not subscribe for new shares during the period for exercising preemptive rights will have their equity interests in the Company’s share capital with a maximum dilution of 3.40%, depending on the number of new shares effectively issued.

(i) Preemptive Rights Exercise Period: The period for exercising preemptive rights will run from August 6 to September 4, 2026, in the proportion of 5.721967934% of the shares of the same class held by the shareholder on August 4, 2026. Shares issued by the Company will be traded “ex-subscription rights” as from August 5, 2026.

(ii) Payment Conditions and Procedures: The payment for the new shares shall be made in cash, at the time of subscription: (i) through debit to a checking account maintained with Banco Bradesco S.A.; and/or (ii) via PIX. Alternatively, in lieu of the two methods described above, shareholders may elect to pay for the subscribed shares, in whole or in part, through the offset of credits arising solely from the JCP declared by the Company on March 25 and June 23, 2026, payable on September 15, 2026, subject the specific rules and procedures established by Bradesco, as an institution responsible for the bookkeeping of its issued shares (the “Bookkeeper”), and by B3’s Central Securities Depository (the “Central Depository”). The payment procedure applicable to new subscribed shares within the scope of the allocation of unsubscribed shares will be disclosed by the Company in due course.

 

(iii) Procedure for Subscription: Holders of subscription rights for shares held through the Central Depositary who wish to exercise their preemptive rights must do so through their respective custodians, in accordance with the rules, deadlines and procedures established by the Central Depositary.

Shareholders holding subscription rights whose shareholding is recorded in the share registry book, under custody of Banco Bradesco, on the base date for subscription rights, August 4, 2026, may exercise their subscription rights during the preemptive period through the Bradesco Digital Documents Portal, via the electronic address<https://documentosdigitaiscustodia.bradesco/login>, as procedures made available in the “Notice to Shareholders” disclosed by the Company.

(iv) Assignment of Preemptive Rights: Subject to the applicable formalities, the preemptive right related to the subscription of the new shares may be assigned by the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to Article 171, paragraph 6, of Law No. 6,404/1976. Company´s shareholders who wish to trade their preemptive rights may do so during the preemptive rights exercise period and must act with sufficient advance notice to ensure that the assigned preemptive rights may be exercised by the respective assignee within such period, as described below.

Shareholders holding shares recorded in the Bookkeeper’s books may assign their respective preemptive rights by completing the appropriate assignment of rights form, available at any Bradesco Branch.

Shareholders whose shares are held in custody with the Central Depositary and who wish to assign their preemptive rights must contact and instruct their respective custodians, subject to the rules established by the Central Depositary.

Preemptive rights will be admitted for trading on B3 as of August 6, 2026 (inclusive) until September 1st, 2026 (inclusive). Shareholders whose shares are deposited with the Central Depositary and who wish to trade their preemptive rights on the stock exchange may place sell orders through their respective custodians.

It should be noted that the acquisition of preemptive rights available for trading on B3, by itself, does not result in the subscription of shares. For the effective subscription of shares to occur, it is necessary to request the exercise of preemptive rights through the securities brokerage firm where the preemptive rights are traded, within the applicable terms and conditions.

 

(v) Documentation for the exercise or assignment of Preemptive Rights: Holders of preemptive rights whose positions are held in custody with the Central Depositary and who wish to exercise or assign such rights must consult their respective custodians regarding the required documentation.

Holders of subscription rights whose positions are held in custody with the Bookkeeper who wish to exercise their preemptive rights must do so within the preemptive period through the Bradesco Digital Documents Portal, via electronic address <https://documentosdigitaiscustodia.bradesco/login>, as procedures made available in the “Notice to Shareholders” disclosed by the Company.

Holders of subscription rights whose positions are held in custody with the Bookkeeper who wish to assign their preemptive rights directly through the Bookkeeper, must submit the following documents, in any Bradesco branch:

(1) Individuals: (a) an identification document (RG or RNE); (b) Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF); and (c) proof of residence;

(2) Legal Entity: (a) original and copy of the bylaws and the minutes of the meeting that elected the current officers, or a notarized copy of the consolidated articles of association or bylaws; (b) National Registry of Legal Entities (CNPJ); (c) notarized copy of the corporate documents evidencing the powers of the signatory of the subscription form; (d) notarized copy of an identification document; (e) Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF); and (f) proof of residence of the signatory(ies);

(3) Investment Fund: (a) original and copy of the fund’s regulations; (b) corporate document of the administrator/manager; and (c) corporate documentation granting powers of representation, if applicable; (d) an identification document (RG or RNE); (e) Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF); and (f) proof of residence of the signatory(ies); and

Investors residing abroad may be required to submit additional documents.

(vi) Credit of the New Shares: The newly subscribed shares will be credited in the name of the subscribers within up to three (3) business days after the approval of the capital increase by BACEN, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Trading of the new shares on B3 will begin after the capital increase is approved by BACEN.

 

Shareholders holding ON Shares and PN Shares on August 4, 2026 will be entitled to exercise their preemptive rights between August 6 and September 4, 2026, in the proportion of 5.721967934% of the shares of the same class held by them. Accordingly, shareholders will have preemptive rights to subscribe for new shares in the proportion of 0.05721967934 new ON Share for each 1 ON Share and 0.05721967934 new PN Share for each 1 PN Share held as of the close of trading on B3 on August 4, 2026.

Any fractional new shares resulting from the calculation of the percentage for the exercise of preemptive rights will be disregarded. Such fractions will subsequently be grouped into whole shares and will be subject to the allocation of unsubscribed shares, which may be subscribed by those shareholders who have indicated their interest in such unsubscribed shares during the preemptive rights exercise period.

Shares issued by the Company and acquired as from August 5, 2026 (inclusive) will not carry preemptive subscription rights for the respective acquirer and will be traded “ex-subscription rights”.

Subscription Receipts at the Central Depositary: Subscription receipts for new shares subscribed through the exercise of preemptive rights in B3 will be made available to subscribers on the business day following the payment date of the respective new shares. Subscription receipts for new shares subscribed through the exercise of oversubscription rights via B3 will be made available to subscribers on the date specified in the notice announcing the opening of the subscription period and procedures for the subscription of any unsubscribed new shares through the Central Depositary.

Subscription Receipts at the Bookkeeper: Subscription receipts for new shares subscribed through the exercise of preemptive rights with the Bookkeeper will be made available to subscribers immediately upon payment of the respective new shares. Subscription receipts for new shares subscribed through the exercise of oversubscription rights through the Bookkeeper will be made available to subscribers on a date to be specified in a notice to be published in due course.

Trading of Subscription Receipts: Subscription receipts will be traded on B3 as of September 16, 2026 until the date of approval of the capital increase by BACEN.

The remaining unsubscribed shares shall be allocated among the subscribers who have expressed their intention to subscribe to such remaining shares at the time of the exercise of their preemptive rights. The percentage applicable to the exercise of the right to subscribe for any unsubscribed shares shall be calculated by dividing the number of unsubscribed new shares by the total number of new shares subscribed for by subscribers who expressed an interest in subscribing for any unsubscribed shares during the preemptive rights period, with the resulting quotient multiplied by 100.

 

Following the end of the first allocation of unsubscribed shares, if any unsubscribed shares remain, the Company may, at the sole discretion of its management, conduct one or more additional allocations of such unsubscribed shares.

Subscribers who have expressed their interest in reserving unsubscribed shares in their respective subscription forms shall be entitled to participate in the allocations of unsubscribed shares, including any additional allocations, regardless of the class of shares they hold.

Given the possibility that the capital increase may be partially subscribed up to the minimum aggregate subscription amount, as described in item “q” below, and the possibility of one or more additional allocations of unsubscribed shares, the Company may determine whether or not to conduct the auction of unsubscribed shares provided for in Article 171, Paragraph 7, item “b”, of Law No. 6,404/1976.

The specific procedures and deadlines for the subscription and payment of unsubscribed shares and any additional unsubscribed shares, including whether or not an auction of unsubscribed shares will be conducted, shall be detailed in a Notice to Shareholders to be disclosed by the Company in due course.

Partial implementation of the capital increase is authorized, provided that the minimum aggregate subscription amount of BRL 8 billion (“Minimum Amount”) is reached, subject to the other terms and conditions approved by the Board of Directors.

Accordingly, upon the expiration of the preemptive rights exercise period and the subscription of any unsubscribed shares, if subscriptions reach the Minimum Amount, the Board of Directors may partially approve the capital increase, with any unsubscribed shares being canceled, in which case the amount of the capital increase and the number of issued shares shall be adjusted to the amount effectively subscribed for.

 

In the event of a partial approval of the capital increase duly resolved by the Board of Directors, no additional period shall be granted for the reconsideration of the subscription decision. However, subscribers shall be entitled to the conditioned subscription of the capital increase. For such purpose, the subscriber must, at the time of subscription, indicate whether it wishes to condition its subscription upon the subscription of (i) all shares comprising the capital increase; or (ii) an amount of shares or financial amount equal to or greater than the minimum amount of the capital increase (i.e., BRL 8 billion) and lower than the maximum amount of the capital increase (i.e., BRL 10 billion). In such case, the subscriber must, at the time of subscription, indicate whether, if the condition established for the subscription is satisfied, it wishes to receive (i) all shares subscribed by them, or (ii) a number of shares corresponding to the proportion between the total number of shares effectively subscribed and the maximum number of shares originally approved for issuance in the capital increase. In the absence of any indication to the contrary, the subscriber shall be deemed to have expressed an interest in receiving the full number of shares subscribed for. A subscriber whose condition to the subscription set forth in the relevant subscription form is not fulfilled shall receive a refund, in whole or in part, of the amount paid in, in accordance with the option indicated in the relevant subscription form, without monetary adjustment.
