Equatorial S.A. (EQTL3) reported in a market notice released on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, that it is taking the necessary steps to regularize the composition of its Statutory Audit Committee under the B3 Novo Mercado Rules, after the body temporarily ceased to have the minimum required number of independent members.
According to the company, on October 6, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the proposal to elect a new Board member and to classify this person as an independent director, a proposal that will be submitted to the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) called for October 28, 2026, on first call.
After the EGM approves the election and the independent status, Equatorial expects that by November 11, 2026, the Board of Directors will decide on the election of this new independent member also to join the Statutory Audit Committee, thereby fully restoring compliance with B3 Novo Mercado requirements.
