MATERIAL FACT

Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional ("Company") informs its shareholders and the market in general, pursuant to article 157, paragraph 4th of Law no. 6,404/76 and to Resolution CVM no. 44/2021, in relation to the news released today on the Valor Econômico portal, that the Company presented an offer for the acquisition of assets of InterCement Participações S.A. ("Offer").

The Offer was presented in the context of an ongoing competitive process, and its confidential provisions describe a series of conditions precedent for the definition of the terms and conditions of a potential transaction and its potential completion, which are customary in transactions of similar nature, expressly including the previous approval by the Brazilian antitrust authority (CADE), if binding documents are entered by the parties.

The Company clarifies that the Offer remains under evaluation of the respective seller and, as such, no binding documents have been entered with any counterparty which create an obligation or firm commitment to pursue the potential transaction. It is not possible to confirm, at the moment, that the transaction will in fact be completed and under which terms and conditions.

The Company will keep its shareholders and the general market duly informed of the development of the potential transaction, pursuant to applicable law.
