Represents Agibank's first ratings upgrade since its February 2026 Initial Public Offering

S?O PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Agibank, a bank that operates a hybrid platform combining the efficiency and scalability of digital with the proximity and service of a physical presence, received today acredit rating upgrade from Moody?s Local, raising its classification from ?AA-.br? to ?AA.br?. Agibank is a subsidiary of Agi Inc. (AGBK) (?Agi?).

In its report, Moody?s highlighted that ?the upgrade of Agibank?s ratings primarily reflects the improvement in the bank?s credit profile, supported by the strong growth of its operations, with expansion of its loan portfolio and funding base, accompanied by stronger capital levels and advances in its corporate governance following its initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), while maintaining adequate asset quality and profitability metrics.?

?This is the first credit rating upgrade Agi has received since our IPO, and we are confident that this achievement will reinforce the market?s confidence in our business model, expanding our funding alternatives with more competitive costs and strengthening Agibank?s position as a reliable and resilient debt issuer,? said Marcello Dubeux, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer at Agi.

The upgrade comes four months after Agi?s Initial Public Offering on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Agibank?s total credit portfolio reached R$35.5 billion at the end of March 2026, representing a 30% yearly growth.

?The ratings upgrade from Moody?s Local will support Agi?s opportunity to capitalize on our unique business model in Brazil, combining the best of digital and physical channels and always prioritizing customer principality and close relationships,? said Glauber Correa, CEO of Agibank.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
