Gerdau S.A. Announces Dividend Payments and Share Cancellation

Gerdau S.A. filed a Form 6-K on April 27, 2026, containing two significant corporate actions. First, the company announced dividend payments for both Gerdau S.A. and Metalúrgica Gerdau S.A. as an anticipation of minimum payments for the 2026 fiscal year. Gerdau S.A. will pay R$0.18 per common and preferred share, while Metalúrgica Gerdau S.A. will pay R$0.08 per share, with record dates in May 2026 and payment dates in June 2026. Second, the company disclosed the cancellation of 225,000 common shares and 7,380,000 preferred shares, which reduces the total outstanding shares but does not reduce the company's capital. The share buyback plan announced earlier in February 2026 remains in effect. Both actions were approved by the Board of Directors and represent ongoing capital management initiatives by the Brazilian steel producer.
