In our strategic plan, we committed to increase profitability by bringing the bank closer to the return above the cost of capital, streamlining our operation and management model, fostering greater autonomy and enhancing agility decision making.

Wholesale, Wealth, Retail and Digital Business BUs are responsible for serving our clients in different segments. In Retail, we are adjusting our service model to better align with client preferences, balancing financial sustainability, while ensuring customer-centricity and profitable growth of the client base. In Wealth, we launched Bradesco Principal in 2024, a new client segmentation with an aspirational value proposition to seek more centricity in the relationship with our clients. In small and medium enterprises segment (SMEs), we focus on initiatives that result in efficiency improvements, client base growth and improvements in customer experience. 4.B.10.02 Strategic Planning With what we believe to be a robust and accelerated approach, we focus on an agenda of ten key strategic priorities, divided into business areas and enabling functions, aligning our actions with our ambitions. We highlight the following as certain initiatives started in 2024 and continue to be developed, which are the result of the work carried out by our strategic areas, aligned with our transformation agenda: · Implementation of our new organizational structure, with a reduction of layers, review of the team sizes, hiring c-level professionals in the market and expansion of our IT teams; · Optimization of our fast paced footprint; · Reinforcing customer-centricity, we are enabling the new global solutions platform for 100% of our wholesale clients; 41 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · Launch of Bradesco Principal, a new client segmentation initiative, in November 2024, offering a comprehensive portfolio of solutions, a fresh service concept, and a differentiated value proposition for high-income clients.

These achievements are complemented by the #SouBradesco, a cultural evolution initiative designed to align our actions with our strategic goals. This movement is intended to foster a transformative culture, enabling us to become a scalable, customer-centric bank while upholding our core values. 4.B.10.03 Corporate Sustainability Sustainability is one of our strategic drivers, as we understand that the management of ESG issues has become key to our survival and growth in an environment that is increasingly dynamic and challenging. Through our business and operations, we are committed to the sustainable development of the country, generating shared and long-term value for investors, employees, suppliers, clients and society. 4.B.10.03-01 Guidelines and governance Our actions in Sustainability are guided by policies and standards which incorporate the best market practices in sustainability management, in addition to voluntary commitments that we have undertaken. The Corporate Sustainability Policy aims to promote our sustainability goals and provide guidance on the actions related to the socio-environmental aspects of our business. Other policies and rules incorporate these guidelines, consolidating the practices of socio-environmental responsibility, including from a risk management perspective. The Socio-Environmental and Climate Responsibility Standard (PRSAC) defines the main compliance procedures for the socio-environmental criteria in business, stakeholder relations and subject governance. The Socio-Environmental and Climate Risk Standard establishes the scope and approach for managing these risks, and is discussed in more detail in section “4.B.10.03-04 Social, environmental and climate criteria for business decisions”. The main governing body presiding over the area is the Sustainability and Diversity Committee, composed of members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Executive Officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee is advised by the Sustainability Committee, an executive body consisting of executive officers and officers of various areas, responsible for ensuring the implementation of the strategy and monitoring the execution of projects and their impact on our performance. With regards to social, environmental and climate risks, the main decision-making forums are the Executive Risk Management Committee and the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee. 4.B.10.03-02 Sustainability Strategy Our sustainability strategy is based on promoting change focused on three important themes: Sustainable business Climate change Financial Citizenship Promote businesses with a positive impact that foster socio-environmental development. Ensure that our businesses are prepared for climate challenges, raising awareness and engaging our clients regarding risks and opportunities. Promote education and financial inclusion to leverage socio-economic development. These strategic objectives are aligned with the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations and incorporate the commitment to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an emphasis on six goals that we prioritize: 4 – Quality education; 5 – Gender equality; 42 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 8 – Decent work and economic growth; 9 – Industry, innovation and infrastructure; 10 – Reduce inequalities; and 13 – Climate action. 4.B.10.03-03 Voluntary commitments Our practices and strategies are continuously strengthened through dialogue with various stakeholders and the incorporation of internationally recognized initiatives and voluntary commitments. Among them, the following stand out: Global Compact Initiatives, SDGs, Equator Principles, Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI), Principles for Banking Responsibility (PRB), Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), among others. One of the focuses of our strategy of action in sustainability is our commitment to raise awareness and finance our clients in the transition to a low-carbon economy, as well as advancing the decarbonization of our loan and investment portfolios, with the goal to achieve zero net emissions by 2050. 4.B.10.03-04 Social, environmental and climate criteria for business decisions We seek to incorporate and constantly improve our analysis of the social, environmental and governance criteria relevant to business decisions and the offer of credit, investments and insurance. · Credit We have a governance structure, consisting of committees, policies, standards and procedures, which is intended to identify, measure, mitigate, monitor and report social, environmental and climate risks. This structure complies with the Central Bank of Brazil’s Resolutions and observes the principles of relevance and proportionality, which are necessary given the complexity of financial products and the profile of our activities. · Investments Bradesco Asset, in accordance with the guidelines of its Responsible Investment Policy, applies an analysis methodology that considers Environmental, Social, and Governance factors for all types of assets under its management. In addition, Bradesco Asset strives to engage companies and business partners to adopt best practices in their respective segments. Annually, it publishes the results of this work in the Transparency Report of Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), to which it is a signatory. The PRI is considered in all investment and relationship activities with Bradesco Asset stakeholders. In the year ended December 31, 2025, Bradesco Asset managed R$997.7 billion in investment funds, of which R$997.1 billion take into account ESG issues, representing 99.94% of the total assets in investment funds. · Insurance Our Group's insurance division (Grupo Bradesco Seguros) integrates the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) aspects into its business based on a governance aligned with global practices and supported by policies, such as the Sustainability Policy, and internal rules applicable to its operations. The governance structure is supported by internal bodies such as the Sustainability Commission of Bradseg Participações, consisting of executives dedicated to the continuous evolution of ESG practices. The commission reports directly to the Steering Committee and the Board of Directors. Since May 2022, Grupo Bradesco Seguros has adhered to the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), an international framework that provides guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks and opportunities, which served as a reference for the identification, analysis and dissemination of risks and opportunities related to climate issues within its insurance operations. 43 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.10.03-05 Socio-environmental management of operating activities The management of our operations incorporates socio-environmental criteria and related best practices, focusing on resource optimization and reduction of the socio-environmental impacts. Among the main initiatives, we highlight: · Continuous work to identify new initiatives and projects that contribute to our goals of reducing water consumption throughout our branches, offices and headquarters; · We have been working to reduce energy consumption through a monthly follow up. We have also set annual targets for energy, water, waste and greenhouse gas emission indicators; · Having achieved our commitment to ensure that 100% of our operations are supplied by renewable energy sources, in 2025 we further strengthened this position by including 523 branches, administrative buildings and schools of the Fundação Bradesco in the Free Energy Market. We also have more than 350 units consuming energy from eight photovoltaic power plants through the distributed generation project; · We evaluate regulatory, commercial, economic-financial and socio-environmental compliance when approving companies that provide service to us. The socio-environmental issues analyzed include compliance of labor practices with public certifications, such as the prohibition of slave or child labor, environmental risks, and negative media. Suppliers belonging to sectors considered critical from a socio-environmental point of view are submitted to additional documental analysis and allocated a socio-environmental risk rating, submitted to socio-environmental auditing with the objective of identifying, managing and mitigating the risks found, as well as promoting their development; · In addition, we monitor our operational indicators through the Operational Eco-Efficiency Master Plan (2019–2030 cycle), which covers the consumption of water, energy, waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Reduction targets of our operational emissions follow the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) methodology, with the commitment of reducing by 50% these emissions by 2030, which represents an annual reduction of 4.6%; · Since 2020, we have been implementing the Aterro Zero program in our branches and buildings in the state of São Paulo. Through this program, the waste generated by our operations is destined for recycling, composting or transformed into CDR (Waste-derived Fuel); and · Since 2023, 100% of our business was certified with the environmental management system by an independent third party. Administrative buildings were certified through ISO 14001 and bank branches through Bradesco Environmental Management System (SGAB), an internal certification based on the referenced standard’s guidelines. 4.B.10.03-06 Climate Change Climate change is generating significant short, medium and long-term changes in our society and economy. Its impacts are physical and transitional – such as rising global temperatures and increasingly extreme weather events, each day more severe and frequent – and those that result from political and market changes, as new public policies and changes in consumption and production patterns arise. In this context, we seek to ensure that our operations and businesses are prepared for climate challenges, strengthening governance related to the subject and implementing relevant risk management strategies and processes. Our main objectives are stated below: · To reduce and mitigate the generation of greenhouse gases in our operations and manage the exposure of our operational structures to climate risks (for more information, see the “4.B.10.03-05 Socio-environmental management of operating activities” section); 44 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · To integrate current and future climate risk assessments and opportunities into the decision-making and management processes of our business (for more information, see “4.B.10.03-04 Social, environmental and climate criteria in business decisions”); · To provide financial solutions that support consumption and production patterns with lower carbon generation and those that are more resilient to climate impacts, such as financing low-carbon agriculture and solar power generation panels; and · To promote engagement and awareness of the topic among our stakeholders, including employees, partners and suppliers, clients and entities of civil society. More information on our climate change related actions is available in our Integrated Report. 4.B.10.03-07 Performance of 2025 · In 2025, we achieved our goal of allocating R$350 billion to sectors and activities with socio-environmental benefits through ESG transactions and related initiatives. These included ESG operations, such as ESG-labeled bonds and loans—comprising green bonds, blue bonds, green loans and sustainability-linked loans—aimed at supporting sustainable projects and performance-based environmental and social commitments. We also offered social and environmental products, consisting of solutions with positive social and environmental impact, including credit for the acquisition of electric and hybrid vehicles, solar energy systems and microcredit. In addition, we expanded credit issuance for companies and projects aligned with Febraban’s green taxonomy, covering strategic sectors that contribute to sustainable development. Our efforts were complemented by the structuring of enabling instruments, such as bank guarantees and revolving credit lines, designed with sustainability criteria. We remain committed to the generation of sustainable business and to support our clients in their transition to a greener, more resilient and more inclusive economy; and · Creation of Ecora, Brazilian carbon credit certifier, in partnership with BNDES and EcoGreen fund, with technical support from Aecom, as an investment in future capacity aimed at strengthening the infrastructure of the carbon market in Brazil. 4.B.10.03-08 Transparency Our Integrated Report and ESG Report are part of a set of annual reports, designed to provide transparency on ESG (environmental, social and governance) matters. They offer a comprehensive and integrated view of our business and operations detailing the results achieved in the period, our strategic priorities, voluntary commitments assumed and how we create long-term value for our stakeholders. In addition, we disclose specific content, including the ESG Indicators and our Climatic Change Report. The documents are available on our Investor Relations and Sustainability websites and are not incorporated by reference in this annual report. 4.B.20 Business management To ensure our operational activities are aligned with our strategies, we have developed management processes that are aligned with best market practices and business models, among which we highlight: 4.B.20.01 Risk management Our risk management is highly strategic due to the increasing complexity of products and services and the globalization of our business. The dynamic nature of the markets means that we are constantly improving our risk management strategies. We carry out corporate risk control in an integrated and independent manner, maintaining and encouraging a collective decision-making environment and developing and implementing methodologies, models and tools for measurement and control. We promote the dissemination of a risk culture to all employees, at all hierarchical levels, from the business areas to the Board of Directors. Ø Corporate Risk Management Process The corporate risk management and controls methodology is in compliance with the main international risk management frameworks, allowing us to identify, measure, mitigate, monitor and proactively report risks. 45 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents Considering the complexity of the products and services we offer, as well as the nature of our activities, it is essential to establish a robust risk management framework. As such, our approach follows the Three Lines Model, ensuring that every stakeholder plays a certain role in safeguarding our security: · The First line, represented by businesses and support areas, is responsible for identifying, evaluating, responding to risk, reporting and managing inherent risks as part of day-to-day activities, while maintaining risks within acceptable levels; · The Second line, represented by oversight areas, is responsible for establishing risk management and compliance policies and procedures for the development and/or monitoring of first line controls, in addition to the independent validation of the models; and · The Third line, represented by the Global Internal Audit Area, is responsible for evaluating, in an independent manner, the effectiveness of risk and internal controls management, including how the first and second lines reach their objectives, reporting the results of their work to the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Fiscal Council and Senior Management. Ø Risk and capital management structure The risk and capital management structure is composed of several committees, commissions and areas that support the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the Board of Executive Officers in their strategic decision-making. Risk and capital management governance is shown in the following figure: Among the governance forums related to the topic of risks, we highlight: · The Board of Directors approves and reviews risk management strategies, policies, and structures for risk and capital management, including risk appetite and exposure limits by risk types, as well as well as the stress testing program, including its results, applied scenarios, and underlying assumptions; · Risk Committee: its purpose is to evaluate the framework of our risk management and, eventually, propose improvements and challenge our risk structure in the face of new trends and/or threats, as well as advise the Board of Directors on the performance of its attributions in risk and capital management and control; · The Integrity and Ethical Conduct Committee aims to propose actions regarding the dissemination and compliance with our Corporate and Sectoral Codes of Ethical Conduct, and the conduct rules related to integrity, anti-corruption, and competition, to ensure their effectiveness and efficiency; 46 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · The Audit Committee reviews the integrity of financial statements and recommends to the Executive Officers corrections or improvements to policies, practices, and procedures identified in accordance with their scope of responsibilities; and · Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee – COGIRAC aims to advise our Chief Executive Officer in the performance of his duties related to the management and control of all risks and our capital allocation resources. Ø Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) Our risk appetite defines the types and levels of risks we are willing to accept in pursuit of our business and objectives. The Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) is an important tool for strengthening the spread of our risk culture. The Risk Appetite Statement is reviewed annually or whenever necessary by the Board of Directors and permanently monitored by Senior Management forums and business and control areas. Our risk appetite is monitored through the established indicators, through effective processes of controls, in which managers are informed about the exposures to risks and the respective use of the current limits. The report is carried out through an alert system, which facilitates communication and highlights the possible exceptions, which require adequacy measures, permeating all spheres of the Group, supporting Senior Management in their evaluation to ensure results are cohesive with our risk appetite. 4.B.20.01-01 Credit risk As provided above (see “Item 3.D — Risk Factors — 3.D.20.02 Credit Risk”), we are subject to this risk. Credit risk management is a continuous and evolving process of mapping, developing, assessing and diagnosing risk through the use of models, instruments and procedures, thus requiring a high degree of judgment, discipline and control during the analysis of operations to preserve the integrity and independence of the processes. We seek to control our exposure to credit risk, which mainly derives from the loan operations, credit commitments, financial guarantees, securities and derivative financial instruments. To avoid compromising the quality expected from the portfolio, committees monitor relevant aspects of the lending process, such as concentration, collateral requirements, maturities, and other aspects. We outline the activities that can potentially generate exposure to credit risk, considering credit classification, size and probability of default, as well as establishing measurement and mitigation plans for those activities. 4.B.20.01-01.01 Lending We believe the diversity of our business model enables us to reach various audiences through directed and convenient channels in the various regions of Brazil. Segmentation strategies, both for individuals and legal entities, allow for good relationships with clients and the offering of products and services. We believe this positioning has a positive impact on our credit profile, which is reflected in a diversified portfolio, both in terms of products and segments. This is balanced with the risks undertaken and appropriate levels of provisioning and concentration. The Credit Area is responsible for the lending procedures which are guided by our Credit Policy. The policy aims to ensure security, quality and liquidity for lending. The process is guided by risk management governance and complies with the rules of the Central Bank of Brazil. The methodologies adopted value business agility and profitability, with targeted and appropriate procedures aimed at granting credit transactions and establishing operating limits. 47 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents When we evaluate and classify clients or economic groups, the quantitative (economic and financial indicators) and qualitative (personal, behavioral and transactional data) aspects associated with the client’s capacity to honor their obligations are considered. All loan proposals are subject to operational limits, which are included in our Loan Guidelines and Procedures. At our branches, the delegation of powers for submitting a proposal depends on its amount, our total exposure to the client, the collaterals and guarantees posted, the level of restriction and their credit risk rating. All loan proposals are submitted for technical analysis and approval by the Credit Area. The Executive Credit Committee was created to determine, within its authority, queries about the granting of limits or loans proposed by business areas which have been previously analyzed with the opinion of the Credit Department. Depending on the size of the operations/limits proposed, this Committee may then submit the proposal for approval by the Board of Directors. Loan proposals pass through an automated and standardized system with parameters set to provide important information for the analysis, granting and subsequent monitoring of loans, minimizing the risks inherent in the operations. There are exclusive Credit and Behavior Scoring systems for the granting of retail credit, which allows for a quick and reliable process, in addition to standardizing procedures in the process of credit analysis and approval of loans. We believe our business is diversified, widespread and aimed at individuals and legal entities with a proven payment capacity and solvency. We seek to support loans granted with collaterals and guarantees that are adequate for the risk assumed, in line with the amounts, objectives and maturities of the loans granted. 4.B.20.01-01.02 Credit risk classification We believe we have a robust governance process, practice and monitoring system. Governance practices include our Governance of Concession Limits and Credit Recovery, which, depending on the amount of the operation or the total exposure to the counterparty, require approval from the CEO or the Board of Directors. In addition, follow-ups on the portfolio are made frequently. We evaluate the portfolio progression, delinquencies, provisions, vintage studies and capital, as well as other factors. In addition to the governance process for approving loan and recovery operations, within the risk appetite defined by us, the concentration limits of operations for each Economic Group, Sector of Economic Activity and Transfer (concentration by countries). In addition to the concentration indicators, we also established indicators of quality of new loans, level of default and problematic assets, margin of economic capital and expenditure of provision for expected losses. The credit risk assessment methodology provides data to establish the minimum parameters for lending and risk management. It also allows for the possibility of defining Special Credit Rules and Procedures according to client characteristics and size. The methodology provides the basis for both the correct pricing of operations and for defining the appropriate guarantees for each operation. The methodology applied also follows the requirements established by CMN Resolution No. 4,945/21 and includes social and environmental risk analyses in projects, which seek to evaluate compliance with relevant legislation by clients, as well as to meet the “Equator Principles”, a set of rules that establish minimum social and environmental criteria that must be met for lending. In line with the commitment to constant methodological improvement, the classification of credit risk of contracted operations is distributed into homogeneous risk groups according to the criteria established by CMN Resolution No. 4,966/21 for the purpose of establishing the provision for expected losses associated with credit risk. The risk classifications of loan operations are determined on the basis of the credit quality of economic groups/clients defined by the Client Rating, guarantees relating to the contract, characteristics of credit product, past behavior of delinquencies, value of credit granted, among other characteristics of the operation. 48 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents Client Rating for economic groups is based on standardized statistical procedures and judgment, and on quantitative and qualitative information. The ratings are established by economic group and periodically monitored to preserve the quality of the loan portfolio. For individuals in general, Client Rating classifications are also based on statistical procedures and the analysis of variables that distinguish risky behavior, performed through the application of statistical models for credit evaluation. The Client Rating is used, in conjunction with several decision variables, to analyze the granting and/or renewal of operations and credit limits, as well as to monitor the deterioration of the client’s risk profile. 4.B.20.01-01.03 Credit risk management process The credit risk management process is carried out company-wide. This process involves several areas with specific attributes, ensuring an efficient structure for the credit risk management process. The measurement and control of credit risk is carried out in a centralized and independent manner. Both the governance process and the existing limits are validated by COGIRAC and submitted for approval by the Board of Directors, being reviewed at least once a year. The credit risk management structure plays a fundamental role in our second line, actively participating in the process of improving client risk classification models, supervising high risks through periodically monitoring key default events and providing levels of provisioning against expected and unexpected losses. This structure acts continuously in the review of internal processes, including roles and responsibilities, training and demands of information technology, as well as in the periodic review of the risk assessment process aiming at the incorporation of new practices and methodologies. The attributes of the credit risk management structure follow our defined precepts of compliance. Integration with the other lines occurs on a continuous and frequent basis, enabling effective identification, measurement and control of credit risk, thereby ensuring the efficiency and security of the credit risk management process. 4.B.20.01-01.04 Credit risk mitigation Potential credit losses are mitigated using different types of collateral documented through different legal instruments, such as conditional sales, liens and mortgages, and financial instruments such as credit derivatives. The efficiency of these instruments is evaluated considering the recovery time and the amount of value to be realized in respect of the collateral, its market value, the guarantor’s counterparty risk and the legal safeguards of each type of instrument. The main types of collateral include: term deposits; financial investments and securities; residential and commercial properties; and movable properties such as vehicles and aircraft. Additionally, collateral may include commercial bonds such as invoices, checks and credit card bills. Sureties and guarantees can also include bank guarantees. Credit derivatives are bilateral contracts in which one counterparty hedges credit risk on a financial instrument. Its risk is then transferred to the counterparty selling the hedge. Normally, the latter is remunerated throughout the period of the transaction. In the case of default by the borrower, the buying party will receive a payment intended to compensate the loss in the financial instrument. In this case, the seller receives the underlying asset in exchange for the payment. 4.B.20.01-01.05 Control and monitoring Our credit risk has its corporate control and monitoring carried out by the independent credit risk area, which calculates the risk of open positions, consolidates the results and carries out the reports determined by the existing Governance process. This area holds monthly meetings with officers and heads of products and segments to ensure they are informed on the development of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, distressed assets, restructuring, adequacy of the provisions for non-performing loans, credit recovery, losses, portfolio limits and concentrations, the allocation of economic and regulatory capital and other items. 49 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents In addition, the area tracks each internal and/or external event that may significantly impact our credit risk, such as mergers, bankruptcies or crop failures, and monitors economic sectors where we have the most representative exposures. 4.B.20.01-02 Counterparty credit risk Counterparty credit risk represents the possibility of loss due to non-compliance by a given counterparty with settlement obligations related to transactions involving the trading of financial assets or derivative financial instruments. We maintain full control over the replacement cost and potential future exposure to transactions in which there is counterparty credit risk. Therefore, all exposure related to this risk is part of the general credit limits granted to our clients. The management of counterparty credit risk includes modeling and monitoring (i) the use of the counterparty’s credit limit; (ii) the portion of the fair value adjustment regarding the credit of the CVA (Credit Value Adjustment) of the derivatives portfolio; and (iii) the respective regulatory and economic capital. The methodology we adopted establishes that the portfolio’s credit exposure to a given counterparty can be calculated from the Replacement Cost (RC) of its operations in different financial market scenarios, which is made possible by the Monte Carlo simulation process. We carry out capital projection studies, such as the ICAAP Stress Test (Capital Adequacy Assessment) and the TEBU (Bottom-Up Stress Test). These multidisciplinary programs involve, at a minimum, the business areas and the Economic, Budget/Results and Risk Departments. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk to which we are exposed, we adopt a composition of guarantees including margin deposits and the disposal of government bonds (being operations conducted on behalf of clients), which are carried out by our own counterparty or in other custodian institutions, and which also have their own counterparty risks duly assessed. Additionally, the calculation of the amount of exposure related to the counterparty’s credit risk, arising from operations with derivative financial instruments subject to the calculation of the capital requirement using the standardized approach (RWAcpad), was updated for the SA-CCR Approach (Standardized Approach for Counterpart Credit Risk), following Annex I pursuant to BCB Resolution No. 229/22. 4.B.20.01-03 Market risk As provided above (see “Item 3.D — Risk Factors — 3.D.20.01 Market Risk”), we are subject to this risk, that is identified, measured, mitigated, controlled and reported for us. Our exposure profile to market risk is in line with guidelines established by the governance process, with limits that are monitored in a timely manner and on an independent basis. All operations exposing us to market risk are mapped, measured and classified according to probability and magnitude, with the whole process approved at governance level. In line with what we believe to be best practices of corporate governance, aiming to preserve and strengthen our management of market risks, as well as meet the requirements of CMN Resolution No. 4,557/17, as amended, the Board of Directors approved the Market Risk Management Policy. This policy is reviewed at least once a year by the relevant committees and the Board of Directors, providing the main operational guidelines for approving, controlling and managing market risk. In addition to this policy, we have several specific rules that regulate the market risk management process, including the: · classification of operations; · reclassification of operations; · trading in government or private securities; · use of derivatives; and · hedging. For more information on the market risk, see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”. 50 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.20.01-04 Liquidity risk As provided above (see “Item 3.D — Risk Factors — 3.D.20.03 Liquidity Risk”), we are subject to liquidity risk. Understanding and monitoring this risk is crucial, especially in the context of settling transactions in a timely and secure manner. 4.B.20.01-04.01 Liquidity risk management process The management of liquidity risk is carried out at the corporate level and permeates all layers of governance. The following table lists the responsibilities of the departments responsible for the management and control of liquidity risk: Ø Treasury · Perform the day-to-day cash and liquidity management; · Propose limits liquidity risk control indicators, as well as oversee the levels for any flagging alerts; · Comply with established strategic and operational limits; and · Report on matters related to the liquidity management [to] the Asset and Liability Management and Treasury Executive Committee. Ø Liquidity Risk Area · Propose the metrics for liquidity control and concentration, considering the appropriate established governance approval process; · Calculate and disclose the the monitoring and liquidity control indicators periodically; · Provide tools for simulation of the main indicators implemented; and · Report matters related to the control and liquidity risk monitoring to the commissions and executive committees. Ø Support Area · Execute the cash flows projection for liquidity monitoring, including intraday; · Prepare cash flow projections forecast for the next 12 months and send them to the relevant departments; · Check and ensure consistency, integrity and completeness of the database made available daily to managers and liquidity risk controllers; · Provide management information on the cash flow to the Treasury, as well as on any significant changes in the levels of reserves of the Banks of the Conglomerate; and · Provide management information on the mismatch mapping of the Treasury. 4.B.20.01-04.02 Control and monitoring Our liquidity risk management is carried out through tools developed by robust platforms and validated by the independent areas of the business. Among the main metrics and indicators considered in the liquidity risk framework, we highlight: · Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): consists of verifying whether liquid instruments are sufficient to honor our net cash outflows in the next thirty days in a stress scenario; · Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR): consists of verifying the structural funding sufficiency to finance the long-term assets of our balance sheet; · Deposit losses for different time horizons; 51 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · Funding concentration maps by different variables (product, term and counterparty); and · Integrated stress exercises in which different risk dimensions are addressed. For the main metrics, limits have been established, which can be strategic (approved up to the level of the Board of Directors) or operational (approved by the Executive Committee), based on flags, which trigger different levels of governance according to the percentage of use (consumption) of their respective limits. 4.B.20.01-05 Compliance risk To ensure compliance, risk management(as indicated in “Item 3.D — Risk Factors — 3.D.20.06 Compliance Risk”) is carried out in an integrated and coordinated manner, and the following activities are performed: · Advise on compliance issues; · Promotion of a range of activities for executives, employees, interns, apprentices and associates, as well as including of training programs and activities focused on compliance issues; · Establishment of rules and procedures aimed at ensuring our adherence to the Code of Ethical Conduct and external standards on client conduct, competition and anti-corruption; · Evaluation and certification of legal and regulatory aspects concerning our products, services and partnerships; · Coordination to meet the demands of regulatory bodies, supervisors, self-regulated entities counterparties and correspondent banks; · Identification, evaluation, treatment and monitoring of compliance risks inherent in our activities; · Management of the Program of Expected Behaviors; · Monitoring and disclosure of new regulations and legislation applicable to our, as well as certifying the actions taken by managers to ensure compliance with these updated regulatory requirements; and · Monitoring the implementation of policies and procedures. These procedures are in line with the compliance activities management cycle, distributed in actions aimed at strategy, prevention, detection, response, remediation, and reporting. 4.B.20.01-06 Cybersecurity risk As provided above, we are subject to cybersecurity risk (see “Item 3.D — Risk Factors — 3.D.20.09 Cybersecurity Risk”). For information on the management of this risk, see “Item 16.K — Cybersecurity”. 4.B.20.01-07 Business Continuity Management (BCM) We base our BCM program on the standard of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards/Brazilian Standards - ABNT NBR ISO 22,301, which defines Business Continuity as “the Group’s ability to continue to deliver products or services at a previously defined acceptable level following the occurrence of an interruption incident”. The procedures adopted after an interruption incident, and which aim to guarantee the acceptable operational level of critical business processes – internal or outsourced – are contained in a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) or in a defined continuity strategy, which seek to resume activities and minimize possible impacts on our clients. The organizational and governance structure established for Business Continuity includes corporate policies and standards which define roles and responsibilities and aim to ensure that the plans and strategies employed are up-to-date and efficient, by requiring periodic tests and exercises to be carried out within the business units. These policies also consider the critical processes carried out by service providers. These policies and internal rules are in line with the regulations of the Central Bank of Brazil and recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The Business Continuity Management process is under the responsibility of the Cyber Risks and Operational Resilience, area of Resilience, Continuity and Crises. 52 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.20.01-08 Corporate crisis management We define incident and crisis as follows: · Incident: momentary event, of low complexity and with possible repercussion to stakeholders. The incident, depending on severity, is classified as relevant or critical, and · Crisis: it is the occurrence of an extremely adverse event (or combination of events), rare, unstable and complex that may result in a deterioration of relationship with stakeholders as well as pose a potential threat to strategic objectives, reputation or even our existence. The corporate crisis management process helps to ensure that any signs of crisis are timely identified, evaluated and classified according to their severity, so that actions can be promptly taken to reestablish the normal course of activities and strengthen our operational resilience. The corporate crisis management process consists of the following steps: · Prevention: Identify vulnerabilities and develop scenarios that could result in an incident and/or a crisis; · Preparation: Develop incident and/or crisis response plans and conduct training; · Response: Trigger incident and crisis management process and execute response plans; and · Recovery: Identify opportunities to improve incident and crisis management processes and plans. In order to help judge the severity of an incident and/or a crisis, we have established levels of impact that determine the optimization of resources and the necessary steps to be taken in light of the event that presents itself: relevant incident, critical incident and crisis. Internal communication relating to corporate incidents and crisis management is carried out in a timely manner, through the issuance of bulletins and reports according to established governance. Detailed information regarding our risk management, reference equity, as well as risk exposures can be found in the Risk Management Report – Pillar 3, available on the Investor Relations website (not incorporated by reference in this report). 4.B.20.02 Independent validation of management and measurement models for risks and capital The model is defined as the information that supports decision-making processes, derived from any method, hypotheses, techniques and quantitative system or approach, among others, that applies statistical, economic, financial or mathematical theories to transform data into estimates. The use of models in supporting business decision-making is an increasingly widespread practice in financial institutions. These tools facilitate the synthesis of complex information, standardize and automate decision making processes and enable the reuse of both internal and external data. As a result, they improved efficiency by reducing our costs associated with manual analysis and decision making. We employ models to support decision-making, financial reporting and regulatory compliance, and to provide predictive insights across various business areas, such as risk management, capital calculation, stress testing and other estimates from models to assess financial or reputational impacts. Thus, we recognize the existence of the risk associated with the use of the models and the importance of the process of managing this risk. The coordination of this process involves the AVIM – Independent Model Assessment Area. AVIM is responsible for assessing whether the models are performing as expected, according to its development and usage objectives. It identifies potential limitations, assessing possible impacts. It is also responsible for establishing guidelines for procedural standardization related to the Corporate Inventory of Organization Models and measuring and controlling the Model Risk. 53 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.20.03 Internal controls The Internal Controls area acts proactively in the management of the risks existing in the processes, as well as in the effectiveness of the controls, in order to keep them at acceptable levels to us. The scope and activities of our Internal Control area are aligned with the Frameworks issued by COSO – the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) and Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework) and with the guidelines established by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) through the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT 5). The Internal Controls team works with first-line areas to identify and assess risks and controls. The results are captured in risk maps for each business unit, which are reviewed against the annual action plan issued by Internal Controls. The team also conducts thematic reviews to strengthen the evaluation of the control environment on specific topics, with findings presented in dedicated reports. Any risks or weaknesses identified are then incorporated into the risk maps of the relevant areas. Risk management topics, issues and internal controls are observed and discussed at all levels of our Group, according to the established current governance framework. They are promptly reported to risk forums to ensure appropriate handling resolution. In addition, the systematic monitoring of activities of the internal controls system is consolidated, at least once a year, in a report that is submitted to the responsible governance forums. 4.B.20.04 Corporate Security Area The Corporate Security area is responsible for providing security solutions by creating, implementing, maintaining, and updating rules and processes aligned with our business activities. It operates corporately and strategically in Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF), International Sanctions, Prevention of Electronic Fraud, Debit/Credit Card Fraud, Document Fraud Prevention, Physical and Property Security, and Projects. It also works on specifying systemic solutions and security processes for electronic channels and information systems, assessing, addressing, and proposing improvements. In addition, it is responsible for issuing technical opinions related to strategic security aspects, as well as the implementation of products, services, and processes. The main areas and activities include: · Electronic Fraud Prevention: App Bradesco, Internet Banking, Net Empresa, Fone Fácil, BIA WhatsApp, Debit and Credit Card Products, Fraud Prevention in account opening and acquisition of financial products. This area is responsible for anticipating and mitigating risks in our operations. We continuously monitor our data and transactional environments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, issuing real-time alerts for suspicious transactions, supported by integrated technology, robust processes, and highly specialized teams. Our products and services are continuously evaluated by dedicated teams whose mission is to prevent and correct actions to ensure the security of the systems that support our businesses, while considering customer experience and usability. We use data-driven intelligence, including advanced facial and behavioral biometrics, supported by statistical methodologies and predictive fraud models. These solutions ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements for customer identification and validation, promoting greater security for all parties involved and contributing to the integrity and strength of the Brazilian Financial System (SFN). As evidence of this, we hold the Fraud Prevention Seal granted by an independent audit conducted by the National Confederation of Financial Institutions, which aims to establish centralized, optimized, and standardized actions for handling occurrences in the financial system; · AML/CTF: Responsible for defining internal guidelines to prevent and mitigate risks related to the improper use of our structure and/or products and services for Money Laundering or Terrorist Financing. Activities include the development and maintenance of policies, rules, and procedures; internal risk assessment; maintenance of detection systems; continuous monitoring of operations; and reporting of suspicious matters to COAF. The area also conducts training, provides support to business units, and interacts with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and standardized conduct aligned with national and international best practices; 54 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · International Sanctions: Responsible for defining internal guidelines and ensuring compliance with legislation and regulations on international sanctions, aimed at protecting our business and relationships with stakeholders, including the prevention and combat of terrorist financing, drug trafficking, criminal organizations, and arms proliferation. Activities include identifying, blocking, and reporting sanctioned individuals and transactions, monitoring restrictive lists, analyzing suspicious transactions, and promoting a culture of compliance through training; and · Physical and Property Security: Responsible for safeguarding people and preserving the integrity of employees, customers, and third parties, as well as our physical assets. The area manages access controls in buildings, branches, and critical environments, ensuring traceability and periodic reviews to maintain effectiveness and continuous improvement. It monitors facilities through alarm systems and CCTV and oversees private security services, ensuring compliance with the Brazilian federal police security plan and applicable legislation, including Law No. 14,967/24. The area is also responsible for investigating attacks against us, conducting intelligence analyses, and cooperating with law enforcement agencies and the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the prevention and repression of crimes and fraud. It develops and reviews operational standards and procedures and promotes training and awareness campaigns related to physical and property security. Finally, it oversees security services, manages equipment such as safes, alarms, and monitoring systems, administers action plans, and responds to internal and external audits related to physical risks and associated operational controls. 4.B.20.05 Data processing Our technological infrastructure is supported by a continuous upgrade program and a dedicated data center (CTI, 11,900 m²), designed to ensure constant service availability. The operation is supported by three IT Operations Centers (NOCs), responsible for 24x7 monitoring and coordinated response to incidents involving service channels, systems, applications and infrastructure. This model combines reactive actions, which reduce performance losses, with proactive initiatives aimed at improving Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and optimizing operational resources. Capacity planning complements this process by monitoring consumption and anticipating future needs for processing, storage and memory. Additionally, the Infra Cloud platform provides robust and innovative solutions in a hybrid and multicloud model, with a technological architecture based on microservices and self-service capabilities, allowing development and operations teams to manage resources autonomously, in a standardized and secure manner. This distributed architecture enhances flexibility, scalability and efficiency. Data is continuously replicated to a secondary site in Alphaville, which is capable of taking over critical system operations in the event of CTI unavailability. The process is supported by a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), with annual tests conducted under independent audits to ensure service continuity in a contingency environment. Backup copies are maintained and regularly validated at both sites, following environmental standards and controls that ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Our main service channels rely on telecommunications infrastructure designed to operate from either of the two sites, strengthening resilience. Internet infrastructure is segmented by user group (retail customers, corporate clients and employees), ensuring enhanced security and service quality. Our IT processes are structured based on widely recognized frameworks. These include the adoption of COBIT 5 for IT governance and corporate management, which establishes principles, objectives and controls that align technology with business needs, maximize value generation and properly manage risks. Additionally, for IT Service Management (ITSM), we adopt ITIL as a library of best practices guiding operational processes such as service management, incident management, change management and capacity planning. The effectiveness of these processes and controls is regularly assessed by independent external and regulatory audits, promoting compliance and continuous improvement. 55 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents We maintain SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 assurances, which are issued annually by an independent specialized audit firm, attesting the effectiveness of security controls, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Additionally, we hold ISO/IEC 27001 certification, confirming the effectiveness of the Information Security Management System (ISMS) implemented in the technology environment. CTI implements access controls with barriers, dual containment and authentication through badge and vascular biometrics. The facilities are monitored by cameras and have 72 hours of energy autonomy, with the possibility of continuous operation through generator fueling. For more information regarding the IT Infrastructure, see “Item 16.K. Cybersecurity.” 4.B.20.06 Bradesco Integrity Program Our main corporate integrity commitments consists of: · conducting our business and developing our various relationships based on integrity, ethics and transparency, concepts that permeate our organizational culture and constitute our values and principles, which, in turn, are formalized by the Corporate and Sector-based Codes of Ethical Conduct, with the support of our Senior Management; and · preventing and combatting all forms of corruption and bribery. These commitments are continually upheld through the Bradesco Integrity Program, which brings together a structured set of mechanisms and measures, including our Codes of Ethical Conduct, the Corporate Anti-corruption Policy and Standard, the Integrity Program itself, the Giveaways, Gifts, and Amenities (Public Sector) Standard, the Receipt of Gifts, Presents and Hospitality - Private Sector (Suppliers and Business Partners) Standard, in addition to other standards, procedures, processes, and controls. These instruments aim at preventing, detecting, reporting and remedying acts related to corruption and bribery, including fraud against the Government or private administration. Supported by the Integrity and Ethical Conduct Committee and by the Board of Directors, our Program establishes guidelines, responsibilities, procedures and controls related, among other topics, to granting and receiving giveaways, gifts and amenities; analysis of donations and sponsorships, due diligence on suppliers and service providers, participation in bids with the Brazilian government; political contributions; relationship with public agents and politically exposed persons (“PEP”), including officials classified or related to PEPs; merger and acquisition processes; obtaining licenses and permits; handling complaints and ensuring non-retaliation against whistleblowers in good faith. All these practices are conducted in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in Brazil and in the countries where we maintain operations. Our Integrity Program applies to managers, employees, interns, apprentices, suppliers and services providers, banking correspondents in Brazil, business partners, controlled companies and other companies that are members of the our Group, guiding their interactions and daily decisions based on high standards of integrity, conduct and ethics. To ensure its effectiveness, we continuously review, evaluate and improve the Program, with the aim of strengthening its governance and controls, in line with national and international best practices to combat corruption. We aim to continually promote an ethical and integrity-based culture through the Code of Ethical Conduct and the Integrity Program, with the continuous engagement of our managers, employees, interns, apprentices, suppliers and services providers. In February, April and October 2025, we held meetings with the Senior Management and with the Integrity Ambassadors, in which we addressed the topics “Moral, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct”, “Discrimination” and “The Role of the Integrity Ambassador”. The events were held in hybrid format (in-person and virtual), with external speakers, officers and employees allocated in our offices throughout Brazil and in units abroad where we have business operations. In addition, in September 2025, we held a lecture directed to suppliers and service providers, conducted by the Global Compact on the following subject “The Global Compact Approach to Combating Corruption and Promoting Integrity”. 56 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.20.07 Competition Compliance Program We respect and value free competition, regardless of any dominant position in certain segments. In our relationships with clients, suppliers, service providers, banking and nonbanking correspondents in the U.S. and abroad, business partners, and competitors, we act with integrity and always within the limits of the law. For example, any contract for the provision of products and services our Group signs, must contain a competition clause, ensuring compliance with Law No. 12,529/11 (Competition Law or Antitrust Law), by both parties. In strengthening our culture, the Bradesco Competitive Compliance Program focuses on curbing inappropriate conduct of our managers, employees, interns, apprentices and associates (third parties), both in Brazil and abroad, and is composed of a set of policies, standards and procedures aimed at preventing, monitoring, detecting and responding to harmful acts provided for in Law No. 12,529/11 and in international legislation. This program is structured to permeate all of our internal areas. In the case of units located abroad, we make the necessary adaptations to the Competitive Compliance Program, striving to maintain at least the conducts already required in Brazil and adequate to specific local laws. 4.B.20.08 Treasury activities The main objective of the Treasury Area is to maximize results with available resources and manage risks, by complying with the limits set by our Senior Management and the guidelines issued by Financial Risk Management Area. The main activities are as follows: · planning and managing our local and foreign currency cash flows; · developing and implementing our asset and liability management strategy; · managing maturity, rate and liquidity gaps arising from our activities; · defining costs for assets and liabilities operations; · obtaining price estimates and managing our business operations that involve risks such as: market, interest rate, foreign exchange, commodities and price index risks; · performing proprietary trading operations aimed at opportunities found within the range of our prospective scenario and market prices; and · taking part in analyses and decisions regarding directed credit and capital management. 4.B.20.09 Inovabra Inovabra is our corporate venture to fund strategic investments, and it aims to create opportunities for the progress of people and the sustainable development of companies and society. We believe that we can improve our customer experience through innovation. In this way, we create an innovation ecosystem, the Inovabra, capable of supporting and inspiring the institution, creating paths and conditions that put it at the forefront of financial and non-financial products and services. We work on three fronts: · Accelerate new features or improvements in existing products; · Foster new products and services within existing businesses; and · Explore, suggest and experiment with emerging technologies.

Our transactions are diverse and target individuals and legal entities that show an ability to pay and remain in good standing. In all cases, we aim to have them secured by appropriate collateral to compensate for the risks involved, considering the use of funds and repayment periods, as well as risk ratings. The Central Bank of Brazil’s risk rating system has nine categories ranging from “excellent” to “very poor”. In line with our commitment to the ongoing development of our methodologies, the credit risk rating for our clients/economic groups is based on a range of 19 levels for Corporate clients, of which 14 represent performing loans. This adheres to the requirements set forth in the Basel Accords. For more information, see “Item 4.B. Business Overview – 4.B.70 Regulation and Supervision – 4.B.70.02 Banking Regulations – 4.B.70.02-11 Treatment of Loans and Advances”. We have credit limits for each type of loan. We also pre-approve some credit limits for individual and corporate clients. We review the credit limits of our clients every 180 days. However, in general, the review process takes place every 90 days. For wholesale customers, the term can reach up to 1 year. Our maximum exposure per client (e.g., individuals, legal entities or other economic groups) is determined by client rating and the aggregate maximum exposure is limited to 8.0% of our Reference Equity. Any cases in which the maximum level of exposure per client exceeds the thresholds as set out in the table below or with limits defined by the credit exception rules which are required to be submitted for our Board of Directors' approval. The table below refers to the maximum percentages of exposure to Level 1 Reference Equity of the Bank by Client Rating in the Wholesale and Retail segment: 68 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents Rating As a % of Tier I Capital AA1 8.0 AA2 7.5 AA3 7.0 AA4 6.5 A1 6.0 A2 5.0 A3 4.0 A4 3.0 B1 2.0 B2 1.5 B3 1.0 B4 0.75 C1 0.50 C2 0.40 C3 0.30 C4 0.00 D1 0.00 D2 0.00 D3 0.00 Our credit policy is continuously developing and as part of our risk management process, we continue to improve our credit granting procedures, including procedures to gather data on borrowers, calculate potential losses and assess applicable classifications.

As of September 30, 2025, public-sector financial institutions held 34.3% of the SFN assets, followed by domestic private financial institutions (taking into consideration financial conglomerates) with a 48.9% share and foreign-controlled financial institutions, with a 16.8% share. September 2025 is the latest information available from the Central Bank of Brazil. Public-sector financial institutions play an important role in the banking sector in Brazil. Essentially, they operate within the same legal and regulatory framework as private-sector financial institutions, except that certain banking transactions involving public entities must be made exclusively through public-sector financial institutions (including, but not limited to, depositing federal government funds or judicial deposits). The competitive environment of the National Financial System is shaped by a regulatory framework that establishes entry barriers through requirements governing the authorization, organization and operation of financial institutions, including, among others, the obligation to submit certain acts of economic concentration to the Central Bank of Brazil for approval. At the same time, Brazilian regulation also promotes market opening by allowing, for example, simplified operational models and encouraging the operation of credit fintechs and institutions aimed at financing micro and small-sized enterprises, expanding the offer in these segments.

The Banking Reform Law dealt with monetary, banking and credit policies and institutions, and created the CMN and the Central Bank of Brazil. 4.B.70.01 Principal regulatory agencies 4.B.70.01-01 CMN The CMN is responsible for overall supervision of monetary, credit, budgetary, fiscal and public debt policies in Brazil, according to Law No. 4,595/64, including regulating loans and advances granted by financial institutions, the currency issue, supervising the reserves of gold and foreign exchange, and regulating capital markets. Within its functions, the CMN provides, through Resolution No. 3,427/06, as amended, for the adoption by the CVM of the risk-based supervision model as general guidance for its activities, on which the Risk Based Supervision System (SBR) was created. The SBR is also regulated by CVM Resolution No. 53/21, which defines its objectives. 4.B.70.01-02 Central Bank of Brazil The Central Bank of Brazil is the primary executor of the guidelines of the CMN, responsible for, among other roles, ensuring the purchasing power of the national currency. Its main activities: implement currency and credit policies; regulate and supervise financial and payment institutions; control the flow of foreign currency; and oversee the Brazilian financial market. 86 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents In the exercise of its supervisory functions, the Central Bank of Brazil determines minimum capital requirements and compulsory reserves, authorizes corporate acts and changes in equity control, requires audited financial statements, monitors compliance with applicable regulations and, where necessary, intervenes or liquidates financial institutions, in addition to sanctioning institutions that fail to comply with their rules. Through Complementary Law No. 179/21 the Central Bank of Brazil guaranteed its technical, operational, administrative and financial autonomy, which gave it greater in the use of monetary instruments for the fulfillment of goals established by the CMN. Through this law, price stability was defined as the primary objective of the Central Bank of Brazil, in addition to ensuring the stability and efficiency of the financial system, smoothing out fluctuations in levels of economic activity and promoting full employment. The Central Bank of Brazil is considered an autonomous entity of a special nature, characterized by the absence of any ties to a ministry. 4.B.70.01-03 CVM The CVM is an autonomous entity under a special regime, linked to the Ministry of Finance, with its own legal personality and its own equity, independent administrative authority, absence of hierarchical subordination, fixed mandate, stability of its managers, and financial and budgetary autonomy. It was created with the objective of overseeing, standardizing, regulating and developing the Brazilian securities markets in accordance with the general guidelines of the CMN and, in the exercise of its attributions, seeks to ensure the integrity, efficiency and regular functioning of the capital market, as well as protecting investors and stimulating the development and expansion of this market share in the financing of the economy. In this context, the public entity regulates and supervises issuers, intermediaries, investment funds and other equity market participants, promoting compliance with applicable standards, improvement of market practices, transparency standards, supervision and sanctioning action. 4.B.70.02 Banking regulations 4.B.70.02-01 Main limitations and restrictions on activities of financial institutions Banks operating in Brazil are subject to a comprehensive set of rules that regulate their constitution, functioning, corporate structure, capitalization and prudential conduct. The banking activity depends on prior authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil, including the recognition of national interest for the establishment of foreign financial institutions. Institutions must be constituted as corporations, adopt in their name the word “Bank”, integrate capital exclusively in national currency and observe regulatory limits for corporate investments and credit concentration, including restrictions for exposures above 25% of the Reference Equity Level 1 per client and aggregate concentration limits. There are also, among the various requirements and restrictions, property restrictions, such as the possibility of maintenance only of properties of own use, except for regulatory exceptions, and restrictions such as the non-issuance of debentures and beneficiary parties. There is also a restriction to operations with related parties (defined according to CMN Resolution No. 4,693/18), with specific exceptions provided for in Law No. 4,595/64. Specific rules also regulate exchange rates in payment arrangements, interest limits on payroll-deductible loans and a charge cap on revolving credit on the credit card. The regulation also imposes prudential and capital requirements. Joint Resolution No. 14/25, for example, introduced updated methodology for calculating the minimum share capital and the required shareholders’ equity, requiring, in the case of banks, a fixed additional contribution of R$30 million. 4.B.70.02-02 Punitive instruments applicable to Financial Institutions Law No. 13,506/17 and BCB Resolution No. 131/21, as amended, and CVM Resolution No. 45/21 regulate the administrative sanctioning process in the sphere of activity of the Central Bank of Brazil and CVM and, significantly amending the punitive instruments in the context of banking supervision, in the spheres of the capital market, the Brazilian Payment System, Payment Institutions and Consortium. 87 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.70.02-03 Capital adequacy and leverage Financial institutions based in Brazil are subject to capital measurement and standards based on a weighted risk-asset ratio, according to CMN Resolutions No. 4,958/21 and No. 4,955/21, as amended. The parameters of this methodology resemble the international framework for minimum capital measurements according to the Basel Accord. For further information on Basel III, see “Item 5.B – Liquidity and Capital Resources – 5.B.40 Capital Compliance – Basel III”. In accordance with Basel III recommendations, Circular No. 3,748/15 and CMN Resolution No. 4,615/17 provide for the minimum requirement for the Leverage Ratio (LR). The institutions classified in Segment 1 (S1) and Segment 2 (S2), must comply with the minimum requirement for LR of 3%. Additionally, Basel III introduced the liquidity indicators LCR (short-term) and NSFR (long-term). According to CMN Resolution No. 4,950/21, financial institutions must keep consolidated accounting records (for calculating their capital requirements) of their investments in companies whenever they hold, directly or indirectly, individually or together with partners, a controlling interest in the investee companies. If their interest does not result in control of a company, financial institutions may choose to recognize the interest as equity in the earnings of unconsolidated companies instead of consolidating such interests. Under certain conditions and within certain limits, financial institutions may include eligible instruments when determining their capital requirements in order to calculate their operational limits, provided that this instrument complies with the requirements of the regulation in force. 4.B.70.02-04 Risk Weighting Pursuant to BCB Resolution No. 229/22, as amended, the Central Bank of Brazil consolidated the RWA weighting factors applied to different exposures in order to calculate capital requirements through a standardized approach (RWAcpad). Risk-weight factors applicable to different exposures are often changed by the Central Bank of Brazil. The mitigating instruments of the RWA portion concerning credit risk exposures subject to the calculation of RWAcpad are established in Circular No. 3,809/16, which was last updated on December 19, 2024, effective from January 2025. Circular No. 3,921/18 governs the FPR, which is a percentage applied to the exposure of financial institutions to different types of assets to determine the minimum capital they need to reserve to cover potential losses, whereby there are variables in this percentage according to the type of exposure of the institution. In addition, there are specific standards of the Central Bank of Brazil to determine procedures to calculate the portion of risk-weighted assets related to other exposures. In March 2022, BCB Resolution No. 202/22 was issued by the Central Bank of Brazil, as amended, which now establishes the calculation of the portion of RWAs related to the calculation of capital required for risks associated with payment services (RWAsp) established in CMN Resolutions No. 4,958/21 and No. 4,606/17 and BCB Resolutions No. 200/22 and No. 201/22, issued by the Central Bank of Brazil, as amended. The total consolidated exposure of a financial institution to foreign currencies, gold and transactions subject to exchange variation limits up to 30.0% of its Reference Equity (RE), pursuant to CMN Resolution No. 4,956/21. This limit may be altered by the Central Bank of Brazil, observing the minimum value of 15% and the maximum value of 75% of the Reference Equity (RE). It should be noted that compliance with the above limit must take place in a consolidated manner for institutions that are members of the same prudential conglomerate. Financial institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil shall disclose (i) exposure in gold, foreign currency and operations subject to the exchange rate variation; (ii) the RWAMint portion (concerning market risk exposures subject to the calculation of the capital requirement by the internal model authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil) of the RWA amount; and (iii) to the RWAMpad portion (related to the calculation of capital required for operational risk by standardized approach) of the RWA amount and its components, daily, being available to the Central Bank of Brazil for a period of five years, as established in BCB Resolution No. 100/21, as amended. 88 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents For more information on our capital ratios, see “Item 5.B – Liquidity and Capital Resources – 5.B.40 Capital Compliance – Basel III”. In addition, the Central Bank of Brazil amended BCB Resolution No. 229/22, as amended, which establishes the procedures for the calculation of the portion of the RWAs relating to exposure to credit risk subject to the calculation of capital requirements through the standardized approach (RWAcpad), which is regulated by CMN Resolution No. 4,958/21, of October 2021, and BCB Resolution No. 200/22, of March 2022, as amended. BCB Resolution No. 229/22 aims to address two main points: (i) the methods of measuring the value of exposures, also admitting the use of a method of calculating the mark-to-market value for a specific asset class (this methodology can be used even if the Accounting Standard of the institutions regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil (Cosif) does not cover this); and (ii) Risk Weighting Factors (FPR), especially on exposures to sovereign entities and multilateral bodies (EMD), financial institutions, non-financial, retail, and real estate legal entities. In February 2023, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 291/23, which establishes the procedures for calculating the portion of the RWA regarding exposures to the risk of variation in the value of derivative instruments due to the variation in the credit quality of the counterpart (RWACVA), in addition to amending the Circular No. 3,646/13, which also provides for the calculation method of the RWAMint portion. 4.B.70.02-05 Compulsory Deposits The Central Bank of Brazil periodically sets compulsory deposit and related requirements for financial institutions based in Brazil. The Central Bank of Brazil uses reserve requirements as a mechanism to control liquidity in the SFN. According to the Central Bank of Brazil’s rules, we must place a percentage of the demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits we receive from our clients with the Central Bank of Brazil: Ø Time deposits: we are obliged to deposit 20.0% of the arithmetic mean of the Value Subject to Collection (VSR) established on the working days of the calculation period, deducted from R$30 million, in accordance with BCB Resolution No. 145/21; Time deposits are represented by bank deposit certificates (CDBs) and financial bills (income tax exempt); and pay either a fixed or a floating rate, which is typically a percentage of the interbank interest rate (CDI), as disclosed by COPOM. Ø Demand deposits: we are required to deposit 21.0% of the arithmetic mean of the VSR, on each working day, determined in the calculation period, deducting R$500.0 million, pursuant to the provisions of BCB Resolution No. 189/22, as amended. The verification of compliance with these requirements is made according to established positions on each day of the period of transactions and the calculation period begins on Monday of one week and ends on Friday of the following week; and Ø Savings deposits: according to BCB Resolution No. 188/22, in an account with the Central Bank of Brazil, an amount equivalent to 20.0% of the arithmetic average of the sum of the balances entered under the headings of Savings Deposits and Resources of Associated Savers, according to BCB Resolution No. 188/22, as amended, which defines and consolidates the rules of compulsory collection on savings deposit resources. The balance of the account is remunerated by the “TR” (Taxa Referencial), a Brazilian economic index created in 1991 to control inflation and used to correct savings values and real estate financing plus interest, among other amounts. In February 2013, the Central Bank of Brazil defined rules for financial cost collection on non-compliance with compulsory deposit, reserve or compulsory assignment requirements. The financial cost charged to institutions that failed to comply with these requirements was adjusted, according to the calculation formula present in Resolution BCB No. 189/22. In February 2022, BCB Resolution No. 188/22 was amended, which defines and consolidates the rules of compulsory collection on savings deposit resources. In the same month in 2022, BCB Resolution No. 190/22 was issued, extinguishing the enforceability regarding the compulsory collection of deposit resources and guarantees made, which was incorporated in BCB Resolution No. 189/22. Additionally, Central Bank of Brazil regulations, require that we: 89 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · allocate a minimum of 31.5% of demand deposits to providing rural loans; · maintain investments of at least 2.0% of demand deposits in targeted productive microcredit program operations in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,854/20; and · allocate a minimum of 65.0% of the total amount of deposits in savings accounts to finance residential real estate, observing that on October 10, 2025, CMN issued Resolution No. 5,255/25, which amended BCB Resolution No. 4,676/18, which required that 100% of the total amount of deposits received should be allocated to savings accounts for real estate as from the effective date of the resolution (January 1, 2027). Standards on compulsory deposits and additional reserve requirements are periodically altered by the Central Bank of Brazil. 4.B.70.02-06 Asset composition requirements According to CMN Resolution No. 4,677/18, as amended, financial institutions headquartered in Brazil must limit their exposure to a single client to a maximum amount of 25.0% of Tier 1 of its RE, or 15% of Tier 1 of its RE if the institution is listed as systemically important in the global scope by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The total concentrated exposures should not exceed 600% of Tier 1 of the institution’s RE. Also, according to CMN Resolution No. 4,957/21, financial institutions must observe the maximum limit of 50% of the Reference Equity (RE), calculated in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,955/21 for the amount of resources applied to the Permanent Asset. 4.B.70.02-07 Repurchase transactions Repurchase transactions are subject to operational capital limits based on the financial institution’s equity, as adjusted in accordance with Central Bank of Brazil regulations. According to BCB Resolution No. 525/25, a financial institution may only hold repurchase transactions in an amount up to 30 times its Reference Equity (RE). Within that limit, repurchase transactions involving private securities may not exceed five times the amount of the financial institution’s RE. Limits on repurchase transactions involving securities issued by Brazilian governmental authorities vary in accordance with the type of security involved in the transaction and the perceived risk of the issuer, as established by the Central Bank of Brazil, since limits for repurchase transactions to the public sector are always higher. In September 2016, the Central Bank of Brazil prohibited the execution, extension or renewal of repurchase transactions of securities issued or accepted from associated institutions, or institutions that are members of the same prudential conglomerate. Subsequently, in September 2021, BCB Resolution No. 76/21 was issued, which provides on the instruments of operation of the Central Bank of Brazil in the Brazilian exchange market for the purpose of implementing the exchange policy. This Resolution provides that the Central Bank of Brazil may perform the following operations in the Brazilian exchange market, among others: (i) purchase of foreign currency with resale commitment, in conjunction with a repurchase commitment, made by the counterpart, for settlement on a predefined date; and (ii) sale of foreign currency with a repurchase commitment, in conjunction with a resale commitment, made by the counterpart, for settlement on a predefined date. 4.B.70.02-08 Onlending of funds borrowed abroad Financial institutions and leasing companies are permitted to borrow foreign currency-denominated funds in the international markets (through direct loans or the issuance of debt securities) in order to on-lend such funds in Brazil. These onlendings take the form of loans denominated in reais but are indexed to the foreign currency. The terms of the onlending transaction must reflect the terms of the original transaction. The interest rate charged on the underlying foreign loan must also conform to international market practices. In addition to the original cost of the transaction, the financial institution may only charge onlending commission. Furthermore, the amount of any loan in foreign currency should be limited to the sum of foreign transactions undertaken by the financial institution to which loan funds are to be directed. 90 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.70.02-09 Foreign currency position Operations in Brazil involving the sale and purchase of foreign currency may be conducted only by institutions authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil to operate in the foreign exchange market. In 1999, Brazil adopted the floating exchange regime, with specific interventions by the Central Bank of Brazil to control the volatility of the exchange rate, a possibility conferred by Law No. 4,595/64. The Central Bank of Brazil does not impose limits on long and short positions in foreign exchange operations for banks authorized to operate in the foreign exchange market. In December 2022, Law No. 14,286/21 entered into force, which deals with the Brazilian foreign exchange market, the Brazilian capital abroad, the foreign capital in the country and the provision of information to the Central Bank of Brazil, with the aim of modernizing, simplifying and bringing greater legal certainty regarding such matters, considering the best international standards and practices as well as the positioning of Brazil in the global economy. In view of this, CMN published CMN Resolutions No. 5,042/22 and No. 5,056/22, and the Central Bank of Brazil published BCB Resolutions No. 277/22, No. 278/22, No. 279/22, No. 280/22 and No. 281/22, aiming to regulate foreign exchange operations. One of the key changes introduced is the elimination of the mandatory execution of simultaneous exchange transactions, along with the simplification of procedures for opening and maintaining Brazilian real accounts held by non-residents in Brazil. 4.B.70.02-10 Registration of cross-border derivatives and hedging transactions and information on derivatives In December 2009, the Central Bank of Brazil issued specific rules that became effective in February 2010, requiring Brazilian financial institutions to register their cross-border derivative transactions with a clearing house regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM. Specifically, cross-border derivative transactions must (i) be registered within two business days; and (ii) cover details of underlying assets, values, currencies involved, terms, counterparties, means of settlement and parameters used. In January 2010, registration rules were extended to cover hedging transactions in foreign OTC markets or exchanges. In November 2010, to facilitate the management of derivatives-related risk incurred by financial institutions, the CVM stipulated that market participants should create mechanisms in order to share information on derivatives contracts traded or registered in their systems, subject to banking confidentiality rules. The sharing mechanism was preserved with the publication of the most recent standard on the subject, CVM Resolution No. 135/22. Currently, CMN Resolution No. 4,966/21 has revoked the previous rules governing the registration and operation of derivatives and hedge contracts abroad, and since January 1, 2025, now regulates the matter. In addition, CMN Resolution No. 5,070/23 establishes the framework for executing loan derivative operations in Brazil. 4.B.70.02-11 Treatment of loans and advances Until December 31, 2024, for regulatory reporting purposes, financial institutions were required to classify their loans and advances into nine categories (AA to H), based on criteria defined by the Central Bank of Brazil. This methodology was replaced by a model based on expected loss, which considers historical information, current conditions and future projections, including macroeconomic scenarios, to estimate the risk of delinquency during the life of the financial instrument. The nine-category classification remained for internal use in the classification of clients with criteria related to the conditions of the debtor and the guarantor, such as their economic and financial situation, level of indebtedness, capacity for generating profits, cash flow, delay in payments, contingencies and credit limits. 91 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents In the case of corporate borrowers, of the nine categories that we used, five are considered performing loans and four are doubtful loans. The following are the performing loan categories: Rating Our Classification Bradesco Concept AA Excellent First-tier large company or group, with a long track record, market leadership and excellent economic and financial concept and positioning. A Very Good Large company or group with sound economic and financial position that is active in markets with good prospects and/or potential for expansion. B Good Company/group that, regardless of size, has a good economic and financial situation. C Acceptable Company or group with a satisfactory economic and financial situation but with performance subject to economic variations. D Fair Company or group with economic and financial positioning in decline or unsatisfactory accounting information, under risk management. The categories of doubtful loans are classified, from expected loss, as per E-H ratings as follows: Rating Our Classification E Deficient F Bad G Critical H Uncollectible A similar nine-category ranking system exists for transactions with individuals. We grade credit based on data including the individual’s income, equity and credit history, as well as other registration, behavioral and transactional information considering internal information and market sources (credit score and behavior score). Financial institutions must make their lending and loan classification policies available to the Central Bank of Brazil and their independent accountants. They are also required to submit information relating to their loan portfolio to the Central Bank of Brazil, together with their financial statements. This information must include: · a breakdown of the business activities and nature of borrowers; · maturities of their loans; and · amounts of rescheduled, written-off and recovered loans. The Central Bank of Brazil requires authorized financial institutions to compile and submit information on their portfolio of loans and advances. For further information about treatment of loans and advances, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, see Note 40.2 to our consolidated financial statements in “Item 18. Financial Statements”. As of January 1, 2025, CMN Resolution No. 4,966/21 came into force with the main objective of improving credit risk assessment and aligning accounting practices with IFRS Accounting Standards. The implementation of CMN Resolution No. 4,966/21 primarily impacts the calculation of provisions for credit losses and other financial instruments based on expected loss. Key aspects of the new approach · Extended scope: The standard applies not only to loans and advances, but also to other financial assets subject to credit risk. · Measurement based on expected loss: provisions are calculated based on internal models that estimate expected losses, considering: o characteristics of the debtor and guarantors (economic and financial situation, cash generation capacity, credit history); 92 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents o characteristics of the operation (nature, term, guarantees); and o macroeconomic information and future projections. · Risk stage classification: operations are segmented into three stages: o Stage 1: Operations without significant increase in credit risk since initial determination (provision for 12 months of expected loss); o Stage 2: Operations with significant increase in credit risk (provision for expected loss over the economic life of the asset); and o Stage 3: Transactions with evidence of credit loss (default or relevant deterioration). · Minimum provision for delays over 90 days: BCB Resolution No. 352/23 introduces minimum provision parameters for operations with arrears exceeding 90 days, applicable according to the portfolio and the delinquent period. Portfolios segment operations according to their level of regulatory risk, nature and characteristics of operations; and · Continuous monitoring: Institutions should periodically review the parameters and scenarios used in their models, ensuring that they reflect current conditions and future expectations. Financial institutions must maintain internal policies and models for calculating the expected loss, submitting detailed information to the Central Bank of Brazil and to independent auditors, including portfolio composition, renegotiations, write-offs and recoveries. 4.B.70.02-12 Exclusivity in loans and advances to customers As provided for in Circular No. 3,522/11 of the Central Bank of Brazil, financial institutions that provide services and loans are prohibited from entering into agreements, contracts or other arrangements that prevent or restrict the ability of their clients to access loans and advances offered by other institutions, including payroll-deductible loans. The purpose of this rule is to increase competition among credit providers and prevent exclusivity agreements between state-owned banks and government bodies with respect to payroll-deductible loans. 4.B.70.02-13 Debit balance of the credit card bill Through CMN Resolution No. 4,549/17, as amended, the Central Bank of Brazil began to regulate the financing of the debit balance of credit card bills and other postpaid instruments not settled in full at maturity, a situation in which we are no longer allowed to finance clients’ outstanding balances through revolving credit facilities for more than a month. Law No. 14,690/23, in turn, establishes a 100% limit on the interest and charges of revolving credit and credit card spread payment, in effect since January 2024, preventing the total debt from exceeding twice the original amount, aiming at overcoming over-indebtedness (i.e., the revolving credit may be charged until it covers the total amount of the original debt). In this sense, CMN Resolution No. 5,112/23 changed CMN Resolution No. 4,549/17, to regulate the conditions for spread payment and renegotiation of the debt of the revolving credit so that the debtor will be less prone to enter into a situation of over-indebtedness. The spread payment of the total debt (revolving credit + original debt) should always occur under conditions more beneficial than the one for revolving credit. 4.B.70.02-14 Overdraft In April 2018, the Self-Regulation Council of the Federação Brasileira de Bancos (Brazilian Federation of Banks) – FEBRABAN, published Regulatory Standard No. 19/18 (Regulatory Standard on the Conscious Use of Overdraft), with new guidelines to promote the proper use of overdraft facilities. Among the Regulatory Standard No. 19/18 main guidelines, we highlight that: (i) financial institutions which have signed the regulatory standard shall, at any time, provide more advantageous conditions to the consumer to settle his overdraft balance, including the possibility of installment payments; (ii) if the consumer uses more than 15% of the overdraft limit available during 30 consecutive days, and as long as the value is above R$200.00, the financial institution shall proactively offer the consumer alternatives for the settlement of the balance; and (iii) financial institutions shall promote financial guidance on use of the overdraft, especially with respect to its use in emergency situations and on a temporary basis. 93 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents In November 2019, the CMN published Resolution No. 4,765/19, as amended, which provides for overdrafts granted by financial institutions for cash deposit accounts. This Resolution sets forth that the interest rates charged on the amount used for natural persons and MEI are limited to 8% per month. 4.B.70.02-15 Brazilian Payments System (Sistema de Pagamentos Brasileiro, or SPB) The SPB was regulated and restructured under Law No. 12,865/13. These regulations are intended to streamline the system by adopting multilateral clearing and boost security by reducing systemic default risk and financial institutions’ credit and liquidity risks. SPB comprises the entities, systems and procedures related to the processing and settlement of transactions of transfers of funds, operations with foreign currency or with financial assets and securities. The subsystems in the SPB are responsible for maintaining security mechanisms and rules for controlling risks and contingencies, loss sharing among market participants and direct execution of custody positions of contracts and collateral by participants. In addition, clearing houses and settlement service providers, as important components of the system, set aside a portion of their assets as an additional guarantee for settlement of operations. Currently, responsibility for settlement of a transaction has been assigned to the clearinghouses or service providers responsible for it. Once a financial operation has been submitted for clearing and settlement, it generally becomes the obligation of the relevant clearinghouse and/or settlement service provider to clear and settle, and it is no longer subject to the risk of bankruptcy or insolvency on the part of the market participant that submitted it for clearing and settlement. CMN Resolution No. 4,952/21 defines the activities of the clearing and payment (settlement) chambers and service providers under the Brazilian Payments System in such a way as to enable the SPB to be structured in accordance with principles that ensure the safety, efficiency, integrity and reliability of the clearing and payment (settlement) chambers and service providers that operate in it. The Central Bank of Brazil and the CMN have the power to regulate and monitor the SPB. The SPB includes payment institutions authorized to operate by Central Bank of Brazil, payment arrangements that: (i) are not classified for a limited purpose, (ii) do not have financial volume, calculated considering the group of participants in the last 12 months, below: (a) R$20 billion of the total value of the transactions; and (b) 100 million transactions; and (iii) the payment instrument accepted there is not offered under the benefit program issued by the federal, state or municipal government (e.g. Worker’s Meal Program); and financial institutions that integrate an open and full payment arrangement of the SPB (e.g. Pix, Elo). BCB Resolution No. 80/21, as amended, regulates the constitution and operation of payment institutions, establishes the parameters for filing applications of authorization for operation on the part of these institutions and provides for the provision of services for the payment by other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. BCB Resolution No. 81/21 regulates the processes of authorization related to the operation of payment institutions and to the provision of services of payment by other institutions authorized to operate the Central Bank of Brazil. In March 2022, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 205/22, amending BCB Resolution No. 81/22, in order to include the possibility (i) of investment funds holding qualified participation in payment institutions; and (ii) that the provisions applicable to the individual or legal entity holding a qualified holding as determined by BCB Resolution No. 81/21 also cover the shareholders of the investment fund who effectively have the power to conduct their operations, in addition to preventing the possibility of an investment fund being a controller, or a member of a control group, of a payment institution. 94 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents BCB Resolution No. 150/21, as amended, consolidates rules on payment arrangements, approves the rules that regulate the provision of the payment service within the framework of payment arrangements that are part of SPB. Pix is an instant payment arrangement established by the Central Bank of Brazil and regulated by BCB Resolution No. 1/20, and subsequent standards. The Instant Payments System (SPI, “Sistema de Pagamentos Instantâneos” in Portuguese), regulated by BCB Resolution No. 195/22, as amended, came into operation in November 2020. Since then, several features have been implemented, including Pix Billing (for immediate and due payments), Automatic Pix and Scheduled Pix. The institutions participating in Pix must follow several operating manuals issued by Central Bank of Brazil, which regulate on aspects such as brand use, transaction processing flows, user experience, security, communication interfaces and dispute resolution. BCB Resolution No. 293/23 regulates the establishment of partnerships between Pix participants. BCB Resolution No. 361/23 and BCB Normative Instruction No. 513/24 regulate the operational procedures related to the Automatic Pix, Scheduled Pix and Pix Billing. After postponements, at the end of 2025 the Central Bank of Brazil decided to temporarily suspend the launch of Pix Parcelado (installment payments), which would have provided for the possibility of entering into credit transactions to allow payments via Pix to be made in installments, directly competing with credit cards. Ø Open Finance Open Finance is seen as one of the ways to foster innovation and competition (for more information about competition in the SFN, see item “4.B.60 Competition”). The implementation was instituted by Joint Resolution No. 01/ 20, released by the Central Bank of Brazil and the National Monetary Council with the aim of promoting competition in the National Financial System and the Brazilian Payment System. For this purpose, it stipulates that systemic integration standards must be adopted among participating institutions. Institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil assume the following roles as participants in Open Finance: a) transmitting the data; b) receiving the data; c) holding a demand, savings deposit account or prepaid payment account; d) initiating the payment transaction; and e) original proposing institution or creditor, as applicable, in connection with loan portability operations. Due to our importance in the National Financial System and the characteristics of its activities, we implemented Open Finance as a participant in the roles “a”, “c” and “e”. Despite being optional, we will participate in the other roles based on business opportunities with data receiver and payment initiator. The implementation of Open Finance in Brazil consists of four stages, according to the schedule established by the Central Bank of Brazil. Our Open Finance Squad has highly qualified professionals, focused on developing solutions for the financial system. Divided into multi-functional groups, our squads work with an agile mindset and exercise an end-to-end vision to create intuitive and personalized client journeys and achieve increasingly positive results. We structured a specific area to foster the use of Open Finance data together with the business area, with the aim of adding more value to clients. 4.B.70.02-16 Special Temporary Administrative, Intervention and Extrajudicial Liquidation Regimes – Under Law No. 6,024/74 Ø Intervention The Central Bank of Brazil will intervene in the operations and management of any financial institution not controlled by the Federal Government if the institution: 95 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · suffers losses due to mismanagement, putting creditors at risk; · repeatedly violates banking regulations; or · is insolvent. Intervention may also be ordered upon the request of a financial institution’s management and may not exceed 12 months. During the intervention period, the institution’s liabilities are suspended in relation to overdue obligations, maturity dates for pending obligations contracted prior to intervention, and liabilities for deposits in the institution existing on the date intervention was ordered. Ø Administrative liquidation The Central Bank of Brazil will liquidate a financial institution if: · the institution’s economic or financial situation is at risk, particularly when the institution ceases to meet its obligations as they fall due, or upon the occurrence of an event that could indicate a state of bankruptcy; · management commits a material violation of banking laws, regulations or rulings; · the institution suffers a loss that subjects its unsecured creditors to severe risk; or · upon revocation of the authorization to operate, the institution does not initiate ordinary liquidation proceedings within 90 days, or, if initiated, the Central Bank of Brazil determines that the pace of the liquidation may impair the institution’s creditors. As a consequence of administrative liquidation: · lawsuits pleading claims on the assets of the institution are suspended; · the institution’s obligations are accelerated; · the institution may not comply with any liquidated damage clause contained in unilateral contracts; · interest does not accrue against the institution until its liabilities are paid in full; and · the limitation period of the institution’s obligations is suspended. The Central Bank of Brazil may end the extrajudicial settlement of a financial institution, if any of the following occurs: · full payment of unsecured creditors; · change of the institution’s scope to an economic activity that is not part of the SFN; · transfer of the institution’s control; · conversion into an ordinary settlement; and · sale/loss of the institution’s assets, upon its completion and the distribution of the proceeds among the creditors, even if the debts are not fully paid; or · absence of liquidity or difficult completion of the institution’s remaining assets, as recognized by the Central Bank of Brazil. Ø Temporary Special Administration Regime The Temporary Special Administration Regime, known as (RAET), is a less severe form of intervention in financial institutions by the Central Bank of Brazil, allowing institutions to continue to operate as normal. RAET may be ordered in the case of an institution that: · repeatedly makes transactions contravening economic or financial policies under federal law; · faces a shortage of assets; · fails to comply with compulsory deposit rules; · has reckless or fraudulent management; or · has other operations or circumstances requiring an intervention. 96 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.70.02-17 Credit Guarantee Fund (Fundo Garantidor de Crédito) In the case of a financial institution’s liquidation, employees’ wages, indemnities and tax claims have the highest priority among claims against the bankrupt institution. In November 1995, the Central Bank of Brazil created the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC) to guarantee the payment of funds deposited with financial institutions in case of intervention, administrative liquidation, bankruptcy, or another state of insolvency. Members of the FGC are financial institutions that accept demand, time and savings deposits as well as savings and loans associations. The FGC is funded principally by mandatory contributions from all financial institutions based in Brazil accepting deposits from clients. The FGC is a deposit insurance system that guarantees a certain maximum amount of deposits and certain credit instruments held by the same client against a financial institution (or against member financial institutions of the same financial group). The liability of the participating institutions is limited to the amount of their contributions to the FGC, with the exception that in limited circumstances, if FGC payments are insufficient to cover insured losses, the participating institutions may be asked for extraordinary contributions and advances. The payment of unsecured credit and client deposits not payable under the FGC is subject to the prior payment of all secured credits and other credits to which specific laws may grant special privileges. The maximum amount of the guarantee provided by the FGC foreseen by CMN currently is R$250,000.00, maintained until the present date, with a maximum limit of R$1,000,000.00 of total guarantee, per CPF (Individual Taxpayer’s ID) or CNPJ (Corporate Taxpayer’s ID), which renews every period of four years, covering values in different financial institutions. CMN Resolution No. 4,653/18 was also responsible for instituting an additional monthly contribution, to be collected when the Reference Value is four times higher than the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity. In November 2019, the CMN amended Resolution No. 4,764/19, increasing the amount of the additional contribution and stating that such contribution shall be collected as of July 2020. The Central Bank of Brazil enacted BCB Resolution No. 102/21, which revoked Circular No. 3,915/18 and which established the new obligation on financial institutions to provide information to the FGC, with the result that these institutions should have systems and controls that can produce and supply such information in up to two working days in an electronic file with various data listed in the Circular. BCB Resolution No. 377/24, of May 9, 2024, established additional requirements for sending information to the Central Bank of Brazil. Credit cooperatives have their own fund, FGCoop, whose latest version of the by-laws was published with CMN Resolution No. 4,933/21 and has specific requirements for contribution by the cooperatives slightly different from the FGC. 4.B.70.02-18 Internal compliance procedures All financial institutions must have in place internal policies and procedures to control: · their activities; · their financial, operational and management information systems; and · their compliance with all applicable regulations. The board of executive officers of a financial institution is responsible for implementing an effective structure for internal controls by defining responsibilities and control procedures and establishing corresponding goals and procedures at all levels of the institution. The board of executive officers is also responsible for ensuring compliance with all internal procedures. 4.B.70.02-19 Restrictions on foreign investment Under Article 52 of the Transitional Constitutional Provisions Act (ADCT), foreign participation in the capital of Brazilian financial institutions depends on prior authorization from the government. In 2019, Decree No. 10,029/19 gave the Central Bank of Brazil the competence to recognize the interest of the government and verify the viability of the operations, since Circular No. 3,977/20 of the Central Bank of Brazil recognized as of interest to the Brazilian government the participation of non-residents in the capital of financial institutions in Brazil, provided that the applicable regulatory requirements are met. 97 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents We were authorized to create our ADR program for preferred shares and, subsequently, for common shares, where it was established that the share of foreign investors in our voting capital is limited to up to 30% of the total common shares issued. Regarding the preferred shares, there is no restriction of shares. For more information on the rules applicable to non-resident investors, see "Item 10.D – Exchange Controls". 4.B.70.02-20 Anti-money laundering regulations, banking secrecy and financial operations linked to terrorism According to Law No. 9,613, of March 3, 1998 (“Law No. 9,613/98”), which provides for crimes of "money laundering" or concealment of goods, rights and values, and as regulated by Circular No. 3,978/20 of the Central Bank of Brazil, financial institutions must: (i) identify and keep up-to-date the registration information of its clients, including verification of final beneficiaries and PEPs; (ii) keep records of all operations and transactions; (iii) implement risk-based internal controls, covering "know your client", "know your employee" and "know your partner/supplier" procedures; (iv) monitor operations to detect suspicious situations; and (v) report to COAF, without the client’s awareness, any operations classified as suspicious, within one working day after the decision of the institution. Circular No. 3,978/20 consolidated the prevention and anti-money laundering devices with a risk-based approach. Financial institutions (including regional offices and subsidiaries abroad) should implement internal policies that include: defining roles and responsibilities; prior assessment of new products and services; risk and effectiveness assessment procedures; promoting a prevention organizational culture; and training of employees, including correspondents. Records must be kept for five to ten years, depending on the nature of the information. Failure to comply may subject the institution and its managers to fines, ineligibility from holding positions in financial institutions and cancellation of the operating license. Law No. 9,613/98 also established the COAF, linked to the Ministry of Finance, which promotes cooperation between government agencies to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, examining and identifying suspicions of illegal activities. Law No. 13,260/16 defined the crimes of terrorism in Brazil. Financial and payment institutions must comply with specific regulations to prevent terrorist financing and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Circular Letter No. 4,001/20, as amended, lists a non-tax list of suspected money laundering situations, covering transactions in kind, atypical transactions, credit and investment operations, international operations and situations involving suspicious people or entities, among other categories. BCB Resolution No. 44/20 establishes procedures for compliance with sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council, including the unavailability of assets of people and sanctioned entities. The institutions must follow the determinations and immediately communicate to the Central Bank of Brazil, the Ministry of Justice and the COAF any unavailability or attempt to transfer assets. From a capital markets regulation point of view, CVM Resolution No. 50/21, which replaced Normative Instruction No. 617/19, establishes the rules of AML/TF in a very similar way to Circular No. 3,978/20, defining the roles of the responsible officer, the stages in which the policy of getting to know your client should be applied and providing greater details on the warning signs to be monitored and the points that must integrate the analysis of the operation or atypical situation detected, when dealing with transactions involving the capital markets. On November 6, 2014, SUSEP established the Permanent Committee on Anti-money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing in the Insurance, Reinsurance, Capitalization and Private Pension Plan Markets (CPLD). The CPLD is a permanent governing body acting to prevent money laundering and curtail terrorism financing, both in connection with SUSEP and the insurance, reinsurance, capitalization and private pension plan markets. 98 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents In August 2020, SUSEP issued Circular No. 612/20, amended by Circular No. 622/21 and by Circular No. 705/24, which provides for the policies, procedures and internal controls intended specifically for preventing and combating the crimes of money laundering or concealment of assets, rights and values, or the crimes that they can relate to, as well as preventing and combating the terrorism financing. This Circular also relies on a risk-based approach policy such as rules of the CVM and Central Bank of Brazil. Ø Politically Exposed People According to Circular No. 3,978/20, financial institutions should adopt differentiated procedures for establishing, or maintaining, customer relationships classified as PEP. These procedures include identifying clients that fall within the PEP definition; the need for analysis and authorization by senior management for the beginning or maintenance of the business relationship; and the enhanced monitoring of their financial transactions. According to Article 27 of the said circular, PEPs are considered holders of elective mandates, occupying high-ranking positions in the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary, members of higher courts, the Public Prosecutor and court of auditors, as well as leaders of political parties, in the federal, state and municipal spheres. Foreign heads of State or government, occupying government positions of higher education abroad and leading public or private international law entities are also considered PEPs. In addition, family members (up to a second degree, spouse, partner and stepchildren) and close employees of these persons, including those who maintain joint participation in legal entities, mandate or arrangements created for their benefit, are considered PEPs. The PEP condition must be applied for five years following the date on which the person is no longer classified within the categories above. Ø Banking Secrecy All transactional information related to transactions carried out to and from Bradesco clients is protected by banking secrecy. The Banking Secrecy Act, as it is known by Complementary Law No. 105/01, establishes that financial institutions are obliged to keep confidential information about the transactions and financial position of their clients, in order to protect the privacy and security of banking relationships. However, this protection is not absolute and presents exceptions, such as in cases where there is expressed authorization from the client, in situations of criminal investigation, when there is a court order or even in cases of supervision by regulatory agencies. Thus, law enforcement seeks to balance the protection of privacy of clients with the need for transparency and combating money laundering and other illicit practices, allowing competent authorities to access information when necessary. 4.B.70.02-21 Anti-corruption Law In August 2013, Law No. 12,846/13 was enacted to regulate civil and administrative liability of legal entities for performing acts against public management, either domestic or foreign. Based on this legal provision, legal entities shall be strictly liable, in both the administrative and civil spheres, for the practice of harmful acts to their exclusive or non-exclusive interest or benefit. Decree No. 11,129/22 regulates the application of Law No. 12,846/13. Among other things, it establishes the guidelines with respect to the calculation of the fines to be imposed in cases involving corruption scandals. The basis of calculation for the application of any financial penalty will be the gross legal entity billing in the last year (prior to the establishment of the Administrative Accountability Procedure), excluding taxes. Articles 22 and 23 of the Decree relate to the “compromise” of the fine, providing for “mitigating” and “aggravating” factors. In the first case, there are provisions regarding the non-consummation of the infraction, compensation for damages, level of cooperation, non-existence or lack of proof of advantage and damage resulting from the injurious act, spontaneous communication, preparation of the program of governance and internal structure of compliance; in the second, as “aggravating factors”, it provides for the continuity of the conduct during the relevant period, number of harmful acts, any tolerance by the Board of the company, suspension of construction or public service and positive economic situation, recurrence. If it is not possible to use the revenue as a parameter for the calculation of the fine, the values to be applied may be between R$6 thousand, minimum, and R$60.0 million, maximum. An additional 3% fine will be levied if within five years after confirmation of “corrupt” conduct, such “corrupt” conduct is repeated. 99 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.70.02-22 Independent audit partner rotation requirements Under Brazilian regulations, all financial institutions must: · be audited by an independent accounting firm; and · have the specialist in charge, officer, manager or audit team supervisor periodically replaced without the need to change the independent auditor firm itself. Rotation must take place after five fiscal years at most and replaced professionals may be reintegrated three years later. Terms of responsible specialists, officers, managers, partners or audit team supervisors begin on the day the team begins work on the audit. Each independent accounting firm must immediately inform the Central Bank of Brazil of any event that may materially adversely affect the relevant financial institution’s status. According to CMN Resolution No. 4,910/21 and BCB Resolution No. 130/21, the financial and payment institutions (respectively) that are registered as publicly-held companies or are conglomerate leaders classified within Segment S1, S2 or S3 (or that meet the criteria for classification in these segments) must constitute a statutory body called the Audit Committee, which will be responsible for the fulfillment of the attributions and responsibilities of the Resolution. For the entities regulated by SUSEP, the applicable standards determine the replacement of the actuary and members responsible for the independent accounting audit, every five fiscal years (Article 107 of CNSP Resolution No. 432/21). According to Article 119, VIII, of aforementioned CNSP Resolution No. 432/21, amended by CNSP Resolution No. 448/22, both revoking CNSP Resolution No. 321/15, the member responsible for the independent accounting audit is the technical responsible, officer, manager, supervisor or any other member in a management function that is a member of the team responsible for independent accounting audit work. A member responsible for the independent accounting audit can only return three years after being replaced. For the entities regulated by ANS, the applicable standards in effect since 2016 determine that the professional responsible for signing the auditor’s report should change at least every five fiscal years, requiring a minimum interval of three years from its replacement. The members of the Board of Directors elected under Article 141, paragraph 4 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, will have veto rights, provided that in a reasoned manner, to appoint or remove the independent audit firm. For additional information on the auditors of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, see “Item 16.C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services”. 4.B.70.02-23 Auditing requirements We are registered as an open capital publicly traded company on the local stock exchange (B3 S.A. – Brazilian Exchange & OTC) and, because we are a financial institution, we are required to have our financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, audited every six months, a requirement which is applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. Quarterly financial information filed with the CVM is also subject to review by independent auditors. Additionally, under CMN Resolution No. 4,818/20, we are required to publish annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, accompanied by the independent auditor’s report and the management’s report on corporate business and the main administrative events of the period. CMN Resolution No. 4,818/20 consolidates the general criteria for the preparation and disclosure of financial statements and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, with the exception of the managers of consortia and payment institutions. These institutions must draw up and publish annual financial statements relating to the fiscal year, and semiannual financial statements, relating to the six months ended June 30 and December 31, which consist of the: (i) balance sheet; (ii) income statement; (iii) comprehensive statement of income; (iv) statement of cash flows; and (v) statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. 100 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents In addition, in December 2020, the CMN enacted CMN Resolution No. 4,877/20, which contains provisions on the general criteria for the measurement and recognition of social and labor obligations by institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil (except consortium managers and payment institutions). Pursuant to this resolution, the authorized institutions are obliged to recognize as a monthly liability, when drawing up trial balance or balance sheets, the values due on the portions of the results of the period allotted or to be allotted to employees, managers or to funds and assistance and other obligations with employees. The independent auditors must also declare to the audited company’s management that their provision of these services does not affect the independence and objectivity required for external auditing services. CMN issued Resolution No. 4,910/21, which revoked Resolution No. 3,198/04, establishes that financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil that: (i) are registered as publicly traded entity; (ii) are leaders of a prudential conglomerate classified in segment S1, S2 or S3, according to specific regulations; or (iii) meet the criteria laid down in the specific regulations for the framework in S1, S2 and S3, must form a statutory body called the Audit Committee. This resolution defined the minimum requirements to be observed by financial institutions when electing members for the Audit Committee, establishing the composition, mandate, and duties. For more information, see “Item 16.D. Exemptions from the listing standards for Audit Committees”. The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors which independent accounting firm to engage, reviewing the company’s financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the auditor’s opinion prior to public release, evaluating the effectiveness of the auditing services provided and internal compliance procedures, assessing Management’s compliance with the recommendations made by the independent accounting firm, among other matters. Our Bylaws were amended in December 2003 to stipulate the existence of an Audit Committee. In May 2004, our Board of Directors approved the internal regulations for the Audit Committee and appointed its first members. Our Audit Committee has been fully operational since July 2004. The audit committee shall make the audit committee’s report available to the Central Bank of Brazil and the board of directors for a minimum period of five years, counted from its preparation. In addition, institutions should disclose, together with their individual and consolidated, semi-annual and annual financial statements, a summary of the Audit Committee’s report, showing the main information contained in this document. 4.B.70.02-24 Operations in other jurisdictions We have branches and subsidiaries in several other jurisdictions, such as New York, Florida, London, Grand Cayman, Hong Kong, Mexico, Guatemala, and Luxembourg. The Central Bank of Brazil supervises Brazilian financial institutions’ foreign branches, subsidiaries and corporate properties, and prior approval from the Central Bank of Brazil is necessary to establish any new branch, subsidiary or representative office or to acquire or increase any interest in any company abroad. In any case, the subsidiaries’ activities should be complementary or related to our own principal activities. In most cases, we have had to obtain governmental approvals from local central banks and monetary authorities in foreign jurisdictions before commencing business. In each jurisdiction in which we operate, we are subject to supervision by local authorities. 4.B.70.02-25 Asset management Asset management is subject to CVM regulation, particularly CVM Resolution No. 175/22, which modernized the regulatory framework of investment funds. For our activities, we highlight four core guidelines of our standards: (i) transparency requirements strengthening in connection with the management and performance of service providers, including greater clarity on compensation and comparability of information; (ii) individualized accountability of administrators, managers and other essential service providers for acts and omissions in the scope of their positions within the Group; (iii) definition of specific criteria for the composition, diversification and liquidity of portfolios, according to the type of asset; and (iv) the adoption of proper rules for liquidity management mechanisms. 101 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.70.02-26 Brokers and securities dealers Broker and dealer firms are part of the SFN and are subject to CMN, Central Bank of Brazil and CVM regulation and supervision. Brokers and securities dealers must be authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and are the only institutions in Brazil authorized to trade on Brazil’s stock exchanges. Both brokers and dealers may act as underwriters for public placement of securities and engage in the brokerage of foreign currency in any foreign exchange market. Brokers must observe B3 rules of conduct previously approved by the CVM, and must designate a statutory officer responsible for observance of these rules. Broker and dealer firms may not: · with few exceptions, execute transactions that may be characterized as the granting of loans to their clients, including the assignment of rights; · collect commissions from their clients related to transactions of securities during the primary distribution; or · acquire assets, including real estate properties, which are not for their own utilization, with certain exceptions. Broker and dealer firms’ employees, managers, partners, controlling and controlled companies may trade securities on their own account only through the broker they are related to. In March 2022, CMN Resolution No. 5,008/22 completely revoked CMN Resolution No. 4,750/19, which previously amended the regulation applicable to brokers and dealers, allowing them to act as issuers of electronic money. CMN Resolution No. 5,008/22 provides for the constitution, organization and operation of securities dealers (CTVM) and brokers (DTVM). Ø Internet brokerage services The CVM approved regulations on Internet brokerage activities, which may be carried out only by registered companies. Brokers’ websites must contain details of their systems, fees, security and procedures for executing orders. They must also contain information about how the market functions generally and the risks involved with each type of investment offered. Brokers that carry out transactions over the Internet must guarantee the security and operability of their systems, which must be audited at least twice a year. 4.B.70.02-27 Leasing The basic legal framework governing leasing transactions is established by Law No. 6,099/74, as amended (the Leasing Law) and related regulations issued periodically by the CMN. The Leasing Law provides general guidelines for the incorporation of leasing companies and the business activities they may undertake. The CMN, as the regulator of the Financial System, is responsible for issuing regulations related to the Leasing Law and overseeing transactions made by leasing companies. Laws and regulations issued by the Central Bank of Brazil for financial institutions in general, such as reporting requirements, capital adequacy and leverage regulations, asset composition limits and treatment of doubtful loans, are also applicable to leasing companies. The accounting criteria applicable to leasing operations contracted by consortium managers and by payment institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil are set out in BCB Resolution No. 178/22. 102 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents Additionally, leasing operations must be formalized and comply with the requirements set out in CMN Resolution No. 5,004/22. 4.B.70.03 Insurance, health and pension plans regulation 4.B.70.03-01 Principal regulatory agencies 4.B.70.03-01.01 CNSP The CNSP is the governmental regulatory body responsible for defining the guidelines and standards of private insurance policies in Brazil, covering insurance, open pension, capitalization and reinsurance. The collegiate board regulates the constitution and operation of supervised entities, establishes technical, accounting and capital requirements, regulates contracts and operations of the sector and guides the activity of brokers and brokerage companies. 4.B.70.03-01.02 SUSEP The SUSEP is responsible for implementing and overseeing CNSP’s policies and ensuring compliance by insurance companies, insurance brokers and insured individuals. SUSEP has, among others, the main functions of regulating and supervising the market, defining operational conditions and capital requirements, supervising technical reserves, applying sanctions and ensuring stability, solvency and consumer protection in supervised markets. 4.B.70.03-01.03 ANS The ANS is a municipality linked to the Ministry of Health, with operations throughout Brazil, and is an agency that regulates, standardizes, controls and supervises activities which ensure the qualification of health care in the supplemental health sector. The main objectives of the ANS are to stimulate the quality of the supplemental health sector and encourage programs to promote the prevention of diseases in the sector in which it operates. Thus, among its main functions are to define regulatory guidelines of the sector, supervise health plan operators, promote qualification and prevention actions, and coordinate policies and initiatives together with other institutions. 4.B.70.03-02 Insurance regulation Decree No. 73/66 established the regulatory framework of the insurance sector in Brazil and created the CNSP, responsible for defining the guidelines of the private insurance policy, and SUSEP. The insurance operation depends on previous authorization from SUSEP, as well as the specific approval to market each of its products. The recent Law No. 15,040/24 establishes private insurance rules and revokes the previous provisions of the Brazilian Civil Code and amends Decree No. 73/66, seeking to ensure that insurers protect the legitimate interests of the insured and beneficiaries from predetermined risks by paying a premium. The main points of the law include (i) transparency strengthening in contractual relations; (ii) adjustments in claim regulation; and (iii) requirement of prior authorization from SUSEP for the partial or total transfer of the insurance portfolio. This law came into force in December 2025, and is still pending, on the date of this annual report, part of the sub-legal regulation necessary for its full implementation. Insurance companies must set aside reserves in accordance with CNSP criteria. Investments covering these reserves, rules for which were consolidated by CNSP Resolution No. 321/15, revoked by CNSP Resolution No. 432/21 and later amended by CNSP Resolution No. 448/22 and CNSP Resolution No. 453/22, must be diversified and meet certain liquidity, solvency and security criteria. The insurance companies are major investors in the Brazilian financial markets and are subject to CMN rules and conditions for their investments and coverage of technical reserves. 103 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents Currently, insurance companies must maintain technical provisions, according to the criteria established by the CNSP. Investments that guarantee coverage of technical provisions need to be diversified and meet certain liquidity, solvency and security criteria. Insurance companies are subject to several rules and conditions imposed by the CMN on the investment intended to cover technical provisions. It is forbidden for insurance companies, among others, to (i) carry out activities typical of financial institutions, such as the concession of credit or the provision of financial guarantees outside the insurance scope; (ii) carry out transactions with securities beyond the assumptions and limits provided for in the applicable regulation; and (iii) make investments in disagreement with the criteria, limits and classes of assets established by the CMN, CNSP and SUSEP, including with regard to overseas investments. Insurance companies must operate within certain retention limits approved by SUSEP pursuant to CNSP rules. These rules reflect the economic and financial situation of insurance companies and the conditions of their portfolios. Insurance companies must also meet certain capital requirements, as provided by SUSEP regulations. Regarding the assignment of the risk, under Complementary Law No. 126/07, the ceding party (local insurance or reinsurance companies) must offer local reinsurers preference when contracting reinsurance or retrocession in the percentage of 40% of risks ceded. The Complementary Law also places more severe restrictions on ceding risk to foreign reinsurance companies and contracting of insurance abroad. Insurance companies must reinsure amounts exceeding their retention limits. Currently, the main regulations governing the matter are CNSP Resolution No. 451/22, which provides for the operations of transfer and acceptance of reinsurance and retrocession and its intermediation, as well as on the operations of coinsurance, on foreign currency transactions and insurance contracts abroad and SUSEP Circular No. 683/22, which provides for the operational procedures applicable to situations regulated by the aforementioned CNSP Resolution No. 451/22. These rules regulate the operational procedures related to the preferential offer to local reinsurance companies, maintaining the percentages established in the legislation and providing that, for the purposes of their compliance, the insurance company should conduct formal consultation with one or more local reinsurance companies of their free choice, in accordance with the current regulations. Resolution No. 432/21, as amended, regulates: technical provisions, assets which reduce the need for coverage of technical provisions, risk capital, adjusted shareholders’ equity, solvency regularization plans, retention limit, criteria for investments, accounting standards, accounting and independent actuarial audits, and the Audit Committee applicable to insurance companies, open pension fund entities (EAPCs), capitalization companies and reinsurance companies. Insurance companies do not submit to the ordinary bankruptcy procedures applicable to corporate companies in general. In case of deterioration of their economic and financial situation, they are subject to special supervision and resolution regimes administered by SUSEP, including preventive prudential measures, fiscal management and extra-judicial liquidation. CNSP Resolution No. 444/22 provides for preventive prudential measures aimed at preserving the stability and soundness of the National Private Insurance System, the National Capitalization System and the Supplementary Pension System and ensuring the solvency, liquidity and regular functioning of those supervised. Extra-judicial liquidation can be decreed voluntarily or compulsorily. Resolution No. 383/20 issued by CNSP in March 2020, as amended, established that insurance companies, EAPCs, capitalizations companies and local reinsurance companies must record their operations of insurance, open pension plan, capitalization and reinsurance, as the case may be, in a registration system which has been previously approved by SUSEP and which is managed by a registration entity accredited by SUSEP, in order to enhance the control of the operations carried out by these companies. There are currently no restrictions on foreign investment in insurance companies. 4.B.70.03-03 Health insurance Health insurance and private health plans are regulated by Law No. 9,656/98, and subsequent amendments, which we know as the “Health Plan Law”, which establishes the general provisions applicable to health plan operators and products operated by them, including insurance companies specialized in health care plans, according to Law No. 10,185/01. 104 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents ANS is responsible, for example, for the regulation and supervision of the activities of private health care plan operators and to ensure compliance with the standards related to their operation. Until 2001, SUSEP had authority over insurance companies who were authorized to offer private health care plans. Since Law No. 10,185/01, competence has been transferred to the ANS, so that only insurance companies specialized in private health care plans could offer such products. To cover this legal requirement, we constituted Bradesco Saúde in 1999. Under applicable law, insurance companies specialized in health insurance continue to be subject to the rules regarding the investment of the assets that guarantee the technical provisions, as issued by the CMN. 4.B.70.03-04 Pension plans EAPCs and insurance companies operating pension plans are subject, for inspection and control purposes, to the authority of the CNSP and SUSEP and, with regard to investments and management of assets that guarantee technical provisions, the CMN, CVM and the Central Bank of Brazil may issue regulations pertaining to supplementary pension funds. Supplementary pension entities must set aside reserves and technical provisions as collateral for their liabilities acquired from the participants, assisted and beneficiaries. EAPCs and insurance companies have been permitted to create, trade and operate investment funds with segregated assets since January 2006, whose operation required specific regulation of SUSEP and CVM. Currently CVM Resolution No. 175/22 regulates the constitution, operation and disclosure of information of investment funds linked exclusively to open supplementary pension plans, as well as the provision of services to the funds. As part of the guarantees to be provided, the CMN determined new rules to govern the application of reserves, provisions and funds of insurance companies, capitalization companies and EAPCs. The CMN Resolution No. 4,993/22 provides for the rules governing the investment of technical reserve resources by provisions and funds of insurance companies, capitalization companies, EAPCs and local reinsurers, and the investment of resources required in Brazil to guarantee the obligations of reinsurers admitted and on the portfolio of Individual Scheduled Retirement Funds (FAPI) and was later amended by CMN Resolution No. 5,016/22. At the same time, CNSP edited CNSP Resolution No. 432/21, which, among various subjects, also regulates the investments by insurance companies, EAPCs, capitalization companies and local reinsurance companies. Currently, CNSP Resolution No. 463/24, CNSP Resolution No. 464/24, SUSEP Circular No. 698/24 and SUSEP Circular No. 699/24, and Supplementary Law No. 109/01, regulate the Pension Plan activity. 4.B.70.03-05 Reinsurance The reinsurance market in Brazil is regulated by a set of legal and inflexible rules that govern both the assignment and the acceptance of risks, as well as the operational limits applicable to insurance companies and reinsurance companies. Insurance companies must operate with reinsurers registered with SUSEP, and may, exceptionally, contract out reinsurance or retrocession operations to unauthorized reinsurers to operate in Brazil, when local and foreign reinsurers lack sufficient capacity. Currently, pursuant to Decree No. 10,167/19, Brazilian law provides that the insurance companies or the cooperative society may concede to occasional reinsurers up to 95% of premiums ceded in reinsurance, calculated based on the totality of its operations in each calendar year. In the same way, the local reinsurer may also concede up to 95% of the premiums issued relating to risks they have underwritten, also calculated on the basis of the totality of its operations in each calendar year. It is worth noting that some lines or insurance modalities may have greater or lesser restrictions on the percentages of premiums that may be ceded in reinsurance. 105 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents Previously, certain minimum limits were established by SUSEP for the transfer of risks to local reinsurers, as well as maximum limits for certain lines, for the transfer of risks to companies in the same financial conglomerate based abroad. Currently, CNSP Resolution No. 451/22 indicates that, for the purposes of fulfilling the preferential offer related to Brazilian reinsurers, the insurance company must observe the percentage established in the current legislation, applicable to each automatic or optional contract. In addition, it establishes that insurance companies should submit to SUSEP, by March 31 of the following calendar year, technical justification for a percentage of reinsurance assignment in excess of 90%, considering the totality of their operations, per calendar year. In addition, reinsurance and retrocession operations carried out between companies linked or belonging to the same financial conglomerate must occur under balanced conditions of competition, and the parties involved will be responsible for demonstrating compliance with these conditions. CNSP Resolution No. 380/20 extended the list of entities that can purchase reinsurance, including: (i) Open Supplementary Pension Fund Entity (EAPC) (Article 2, paragraph 1); and (ii) Closed Supplementary Pension Fund Entity (EFPC) and operators of private health care plans (Article 2, paragraph 2). Although it was revoked by CNSP Resolution No. 451/22, the rules were maintained. 4.B.80 Taxes on our main transactions 4.B.80.01 Taxes on financial operations (IOF) 4.B.80.01-01 Loan operations The loans subject to IOF have as their taxable event the placement of the obligation amount or its delivery to borrowers. The applicable daily IOF rate is 0.0082% on the principal amount made available to the borrower, whether an individual or a legal entity. For fixed-principal loan operations, the daily charge cannot exceed the equivalent of the investment amount multiplied by 365 days. For revolving credit facilities, the calculation is based on the sum of daily outstanding balances, determined on the last day of each month. Since January 2008, loan operations and advances have also been subject to an additional flat IOF rate of 0.38%, regardless of the loan term. Accordingly, for fixed-principal loans to legal entities, the maximum effective IOF rate is 3.373% (the daily rate multiplied by 365 days, plus 0.38%). IOF applies to loan operations between residents of Brazil and to transactions where the creditor is resident in Brazil, even if the debtor is abroad. However, IOF does not apply when the creditor is abroad and the debtor is in Brazil, without prejudice to the application of IOF on foreign exchange transactions. 4.B.80.01-02 Insurance operations IOF levied on insurance operations has as its taxable event the receipt of premium. The main applicable rates are as follows: · 0.0% for: (i) reinsurance operations; (ii) mandatory insurance, linked to residential loans by SFH; (iii) insurance operations for export credits and international merchandise transportation; (iv) aeronautical insurance and civil liability of airlines; (v) premiums intended to life insurance plans with survival coverage; and (vi) guarantee insurance, among others; · 0.38% of premiums paid, in the case of life insurance and similar policies, for personal or workplace accidents, including mandatory insurance for personal injuries caused by vehicles or ships; · 2.38% for private health insurance business; 106 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents · 5% of the contributions to the cost of a life insurance plan with survival coverage paid by individuals from January 1, 2026, provided that the sum of the amounts contributed in all insurance plans of the policyholder in the year, even if of different insurance companies, is more than R$600,000.00, only on the value that exceeds R$600,000.00 per annum; and · 7.38% for all other insurance transactions. As of 2027, in addition to the fact that there is no constitutional basis for the IOF-Insurance, insurance operations will be qualified as “financial services” for the purposes of taxation by the Goods and Services Tax (IBS) and the Goods and Services Contribution (CBS). For more information on this new regime, see item “3 3.D Risk Factors - 3.D.10.01-07 Changes in taxes and other fiscal assessments may adversely affect us”. 4.B.80.02 Income tax and social contribution on profit Federal taxes on company profits include two components, income tax known as IRPJ and tax on net income, known as CSLL. Both are calculated on the basis of adjusted net income. Income tax charges are calculated based on a rate of 15.0% plus a surcharge of 10.0% on taxable income exceeding R$240 thousand per annum, corresponding to a combined rate of around 25.0%. Regarding the Social Contribution we have three rates in force: 20% for banks, 15% for financial institutions (non-banking) and 9% for non-financial companies. It is important to note that legal entities in Brazil are taxed on their worldwide income, and not only on income generated exclusively in Brazil. In 2024, through Law No. 15,079/24, Brazil incorporated the "GloBE Rules," a model established by the OECD that introduces a minimum effective tax rate of 15% on profits for multinational groups with annual revenue exceeding 750 million euros (approximately R$4.8 billion). This legislation adopts the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax ("QDMTT"), which prioritizes the jurisdiction where profits were generated by imposing a minimum tax on income. In the event that we tax our profit at an effective rate lower than 15%, we must collect an additional CSLL to reach the required minimum. In 2025, we did not have any collection of additional CSLL. 4.B.80.03 PIS and COFINS PIS and COFINS are federal taxes levied on gross revenues of legal entities. Some revenues are excluded from the calculation basis, such as dividends, the result of holdings in non-consolidated companies, profit in the sale of non-circulating assets and, generally, export revenues. Revenue corresponding to the receipt of interest on own capital is subject to the incidence of PIS and COFINS. In 2002 (PIS) and 2003 (COFINS), the government implemented the non-cumulative collection system, allowing the discount of credits related to certain operations, with consequent increase in rates. As of May 2004, collection on the import of goods or services was introduced. The rates of PIS and COFINS on financial revenues of legal entities subject to the non-cumulative regime are currently 0.65% and 4.0%, respectively (Decree No. 8,426/15). The zero rate is the financial revenue resulting from exchange rate changes in exports and hedge operations carried out on the stock exchange or on organized OTC market (Decree No. 8,451/15). Financial institutions remain subject to PIS and COFINS by the "cumulative" system, without discount of credits (Article 10, I, Law No. 10,833/03), but may exclude certain expenses from the calculation basis (such as expenses of financial intermediation and claims indemnities). As such, the applicable rates are 0.65% (PIS) and 4.0% (COFINS). After the end of the transition process of the Tax Reform (2026-2033), PIS and COFINS will be replaced by the CBS, according to Constitutional Amendment No. 132/23 and Complementary Law No. 214/25. It is not possible to estimate the impacts of implementation of the Tax Reform on the company’s operations. For more information on this new regime, see item “3.D Risk Factors - 3.D.10.01-07 Changes in taxes and other fiscal assessments may adversely affect us”. 107 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.80.04 Compliance with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS) (Tax Compliance Laws for Foreign Accounts) We maintain the commitment to observe the laws and regulations applicable to our business, strictly complying with the criteria established by the international treaties FATCA and CRS, which aim to combat tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing. FATCA, established by the United States government to identify financial accounts of U.S. taxpayers residing in other countries, was incorporated in Brazil by Decree No. 8,506/15, of the Executive Branch. The CRS, developed under the coordination of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) with the participation of the main countries of the world, was regulated in Brazil by the Federal Revenue Service through Normative Instruction No. 1,680/16. Like FATCA, CRS aims to identify financial accounts of foreign taxpayers belonging to countries that are signatories to the agreement. To meet national and international requirements, we have established internal Compliance standards that ensure transparency of information and implement effective measures to control, monitor and continuously improve processes. 4.B.90 Centralized Registration and Deposit of Financial Assets and Securities In August 2017, the Brazilian Congress converted Provisional Measure (PM) No. 775/17, issued by the President of Brazil in April 2017, into Law No. 13,476/17. The new law consolidates the provisions on the creation of liens over financial assets and securities. On the same day, the CMN issued Resolution No. 4,593/17, as amended, to regulate the provisions set by Law No. 13,476/17 and consolidate the regulation on centralized deposits and registration of financial assets and securities issued or owned by financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. Resolution No. 4,593/17, as amended, presents a clearer definition of financial assets, which includes, in addition to traditional financial instruments such as certificates and bank deposit receipts, credit securities subject to discount and credit card receivables. In addition, the rule establishes that the recording of financial assets and securities is applicable to bilateral operations (meaning operations directly with clients), with some exemptions in certain situations, and that the centralized deposit is applicable to credit securities with payment obligations and securities issued by financial institutions or other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, and are conditions for engaging in certain negotiations and in the assumption of custody. The Central Bank of Brazil will issue regulations governing the implementation of such rules, including the creation of an electronic system for the constitution of liens and encumbrances. From December 2020, pursuant to BCB Normative Instruction No. 61/20, the financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil must disclose the standardized identifier of the loan (IPOC), as provided for in Circular No. 3,953/19 as amended by BCB Resolution No. 36/20, in the registry of financial instruments, which is representative of loan and leasing operations, including those subject to assignment of credit, chattel and portability and in the form of credit rights, in systems of registration and financial settlement of assets authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil. In March 2023, the Central Bank of Brazil issued BCB Resolution No. 308/23, which provides for the conditions for the exercise of the activities of registration and centralized deposit of real estate receivables by central financial assets registrars and depositories. Among these conditions, this resolution provides that the contracts must establish, among others, that the real estate receivables of the enterprise will be registered or deposited exclusively in the registered entity or in the contracted central depositary, admitting the portability. For the purposes of BCB Resolution No. 308/23, the real estate credit right constituted or to be constituted is considered receivable, which is the result of a purchase and sale contract or a promise of purchase and sale, with or without the issuance of a Real Estate Credit Bill (CCI), executed between the syndicator or developer and buyer or promising buyer of autonomous real estate unit or lot. 108 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.100 SELECTED STATISTICAL INFORMATION The selected statistical information shown in this section is derived from our accounting books and records, which are the basis for preparing our audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. We have included the following information for analytical purposes. For a more complete understanding, for the years ending December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, this information should be read in conjunction with “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and with our consolidated financial statements in “Item 18. Financial Statements”. 109 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.100.01 Average Statement of Financial Position and Yield Data The following tables present the average balances of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and non interest-earning assets and non interest-bearing liabilities, related interest income and expenses, and the average rate for each period. The interest accrued on Brazilian financial assets and liabilities comprise both fixed interest rates and any monetary correction. Monetary correction may be the result of changes to an inflation index, changes to foreign exchange rates (usually against the U.S. dollar) or changes to other floating interest rates. The fixed interest rate and monetary correction accrue at the end of each month to the principal balance of each operation. The updated value then becomes the new basis for the accrual of the following month’s fixed interest rate and monetary correction. In this section, we refer to each of interest and similar income and interest and similar expense, including other amounts such as fair value adjustment to trading securities and derivative financial instruments and foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities, as financial income and financial expense. In this section, the average balances are calculated as the average of twelve-monthly averages (where each monthly average is calculated as the sum of the balance at the end of the current and prior month divided by two). The average rate for each of the periods indicated has been calculated based on the interest and similar income (or expense) for the period, divided by the average balances.

Ø Outstanding foreign loans The majority of our outstanding cross-border commercial loans that are denominated in foreign currencies are denominated in U.S. dollars and made to subsidiaries of Brazilian companies through our Cayman branch. These loans represented, on average, 2.6% of our total assets over the last three years (this percentage was calculated as the average balance of cross-border loans and advances to customers as of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, divided by the average total assets over the same periods.). We believe that there are no significant cross-border risks in these transactions, since a substantial part of the related credit risk is guaranteed by the borrower’s parent company in Brazil. The remainder of our outstanding cross-border transactions mainly includes investments in securities, which represented, on average, 1.5% of our total assets over the last three years (this percentage was calculated as the average balance of cross-border investments in securities as of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, divided by the average total assets over the same periods). Ø Indexation The majority of our portfolio of loans and advances is denominated in reais. However, part of our portfolio of loans and advances is indexed or denominated in foreign currencies, predominantly the U.S. dollar. Our loans and advances indexed to, and denominated in, foreign currency, consist of onlending of Eurobonds and export and import financing, and represented 9.1% in 2025, 8.4% in 2024 and 5.7% in 2023, of our portfolio of loans and advances. In many cases, our clients hold derivative instruments to minimize foreign exchange rate variation risk. 115 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.B.100.06 Expected credit losses on loans and advances The following table shows the movement of the allocation for expected credit losses of loans and advances for the periods indicated.

Such loans are written off after all the necessary collection procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recovery of amounts previously written-off is recognized In the statement of income. For more information on our categorization of loans, see “4.B.70 Regulation and Supervision – 4.B.70.02 Bank Regulations – 4.B.70.02-11 Treatment of Loans and Advances”. 4.B.100.07 Deposits For the average value and the average rate paid in each category of deposits, see item “4.B.100.01 Average Statement of Financial Position and Yield Data”. For additional information regarding types of our deposits, see “Item 4.B.30.01-02.01 Deposit accounts.” Total deposits from foreign depositors are not material for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Ø Uninsured deposits For the years ending December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the amount of uninsured deposits, for the products with FGC guarantee, which are not covered by the FGC, was R$487.2 billion, R$423.1 billion and R$409.7 billion, respectively. The FGC is a deposit insurance system that guarantees a certain maximum amount of deposits and certain other investment products held by the same client against a financial institution (or against member financial institutions of the same financial group). The liability of the participating institutions is limited to the amount of their contributions to the FGC, with the exception that in limited circumstances, if FGC payments are insufficient to cover insured losses, the participating institutions may be asked for extraordinary contributions and advances. The payment of unsecured credit and client deposits not payable under the FGC is subject to the prior payment of all secured credits and other credits to which specific laws may grant special privileges. The CMN has occasionally increased the maximum insured value provided by the FGC. The last value was R$250 thousand, which has been maintained through to the present date. The calculation of amounts uninsured by the FGC was carried out based on the FGC Census by ownership, which contains information on guaranteed deposits segregated by ownership and value range. For guaranteed balances, we considered the sum of the amounts within the range of R$0.01 to R$250 thousand and for amounts above the coverage limit, we consider the number of clients multiplied by R$250 thousand (limit coverage), the uncovered amount being the difference between the total balance and the guaranteed balance. The following table shows the values of the time deposits that exceed the FGC insured amount by maturity as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 R$ in thousands Time deposits exceeding the maximum insured Maturity in 3 months or less 4,410,270,387 Maturity from 3 months to 6 months 2,327,774,403 Maturity from 6 months to 12 months 5,272,137,615 Maturity after 12 months 422,041,190,101 Total 434,051,372,506 117 – Form 20-F 2025 | Bradesco Table of Contents 4.C.
