Irani Confirms MP#5 Reform Shutdown Schedule Under GAIA XI Project

Porto Alegre, February 2026 – Irani Papel e Embalagem S.A. announces continued progress in capturing operational and financial returns from the GAIA I – Chemical and Utility Recovery Project, a cornerstone of the Company’s first GAIA investment cycle.

The project has reached full operational execution, and the Company continues to consolidate performance data related to improvements in paper mix optimization, chemical recovery and energy generation efficiency.

GAIA I enhances vertical integration, reduces input dependency and improves cost predictability, particularly in energy and chemical consumption. The project contributes directly to margin resilience and supports Irani’s integrated production model, from forestry base to sustainable packaging.

As part of its broader circular and low-carbon strategy, the initiative strengthens environmental performance while supporting consistent cash generation.
