Currently, this amount was changed to R$ 10 million of reais. Currently, this amount was changed to R$ 10 million of reais.
As of January 1st, 2022, corporations, which guidelines falls under the new aspects of the legislation, may publish the corporate documents in a summarized form, in a newspaper of great circulation in the locality of the headquarters, and the full publication will only occur in the website of the newspaper of great circulation.
All publications must contain digital certification demonstrating their authenticity, which is conferred by the accredited authority within the scope of the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICPBrasil).
The vacancy period of said legislation will allow the market to adapt to the new model of systematic publication of corporate acts and will impact on a large cost reduction with publications.
