Tokyo Selects João Pedro Maya as Interim Independent Director Amid Governance Questions

Tokyo appointed João Pedro Maya as interim independent board director following the resignation of André Felipe Rosado França. Minority shareholders remain dissatisfied and are calling for an extraordinary general assembly.

Tokyo selected João Pedro Maya as interim independent member of its administrative board after André Felipe Rosado França resigned on August 31. The CVM recorded a formal notice regarding this appointment, confirming that Maya still requires ratification at the first general assembly following his nomination, per the company's bylaws. This shift occurs while minority shareholders question the board structure and recent actions. A group representing 6.11% of equity capital requested a convocation of an extraordinary general assembly (AGE) to discuss the election, authorized capital changes, and potential administrator accountability. These stakeholders also challenge the company's shareholding structure and allege coordinated behavior among major investors. The appointment does not immediately settle disputes regarding board composition or past management conduct, as ratification remains pending. Tokyo is currently under judicial recovery proceedings while these governance issues unfold.
