🧾 What This Document Is

This is a Form 6-K, a standard monthly report that foreign companies listed in the U.S. (like Brazilian company Ambev) file with the SEC to share important news. This specific filing is a "Notice to Shareholders" about a last-minute change to a board nomination ahead of a vote.

🏢 What The Company Does

👉 In simple terms, Ambev is the beer giant. It's one of the largest beer producers in the world, with a massive presence in Latin America (especially Brazil and Canada). Think of brands like Brahma, Antarctica, Stella Artois, and Labatt. They also have non-alcoholic beverage operations.

🔄 The Key Change

The core of this notice is a substitution of a candidate for the company's Fiscal Council (a supervisory board similar to an audit committee).

• Who's Out: Ms. Maria Salete Garcia Pinheiro (alternate member candidate).
• Who's In: Mr. Vasco de Freitas Barcellos Neto. He will run as the alternate candidate alongside the already-nominated effective member, Mr. Aristóteles Nogueira Filho.

🗳️ Why It Matters for Shareholders

This change triggers an important housekeeping rule for the upcoming shareholder vote.

• Old Votes Cancelled: Any votes already cast for the original pair (the old alternate candidate) will now be disregarded.
• Action Required: Shareholders who already voted and want their vote on this matter to count must resubmit their ballot by April 26, 2026. It's a do-over for this one position.
• All Other Votes Stand: Votes for any other candidates or other items on the meeting agenda remain valid.

📅 Key Dates & Documents

• Updated Deadline: Shareholders can resubmit votes until April 26, 2026.
• Where to See the Updates: The revised Management’s Proposal and voting bulletin are available on Ambev's website, as well as on the websites of the Brazilian SEC (CVM) and the B3 stock exchange.

🔮 What's Next

The Annual General Shareholders' Meeting will proceed as planned. The only change is the updated slate of candidates for the Fiscal Council vote. The company will incorporate this substitution into the formal proceedings.

⚖️ Big Picture

• 👍 Strengths: This shows the company following strict governance protocols. Re-filing documents and voiding conflicting votes ensures the process is transparent and accurate.
• ⚠️ Risk/Attention: For investors who have already voted, this creates a procedural hurdle. If they don't resubmit, their vote on this specific board seat will not count, potentially affecting the election outcome.

🧠 The Analogy

This is like a late substitution in a sports team's starting lineup right before a game. The coach (Management) informs the league (Regulators) and the fans (Shareholders) that Player B is replacing Player A. Any fan votes for "Player A as MVP" for that game are now invalid, and fans get a short window to cast their new vote for "Player B."

📇 Key Contacts & People

• Guilherme Fleury de Figueiredo Ferraz Parolari: Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer
• Mr. Vasco de Freitas Barcellos Neto: The newly nominated alternate candidate for the Fiscal Council.
• Mr. Aristóteles Nogueira Filho: The already-nominated effective member for the Fiscal Council.

🧩 Final Takeaway

This is a procedural filing about a last-minute candidate change for a supervisory board seat. The most important action is for shareholders who already voted to resubmit their ballot by April 26, 2026, if they want their vote for this specific position to count.
