Shareholders who wish to participate in the ESM in real time must register in advance, and upon accreditation and receipt of a link with access instructions, they must access the Digital Platform on the date and time of the ESM, as described below.

I. Remote participation through the Digital Platform:

(b)Information on the registration

Shareholders participating in the ESM via the Digital Platform may exercise their respective voting rights and will be considered present and signatories to the minutes, under paragraph 1 of article 47 of CVM Resolution 81/22.

Upon registration, the participant agrees to (i) use the individual link solely and exclusively for participation in the ESM; (ii) not transfer or disclose, in whole or in part, the individual link to any third party, shareholder or not, as said link is non-transferable; and (iii) not record or reproduce, in whole or in part, nor transfer to any third party, shareholder or not, the content or any information transmitted through the virtual platform during the ESM.

Every Shareholder, representative, or proxy who joins the Meeting through digital means will undergo a visual verification to confirm the regularity of their participation. This verification will request that the participant's identification document be shown on their device's camera so that the photo and all information of said document are visible and legible.

Throughout the entire ESM, the participant must keep their device's camera on and positioned in front of them, to remain visible throughout the ESM. A participant who turns off the camera or moves away from it may be notified to return or turn the device back on. Failure to comply with the request may result in the Shareholder being removed from the video conference.

To optimize interaction, participants' audio via video conference will be automatically muted. Participants may express themselves through (i) messages, at any time, or (ii) audio, upon request via message for timely release of their audio.

The video conference will start 30 (thirty) minutes before the Meeting to expedite the participants' validation process. The Company advises shareholders choosing to participate online to access the link to join the ESM 30 (thirty) minutes in advance.

II. Voting via Remote Voting Form

Shareholders may alternatively vote remotely on the matters on the agenda of the ESM from this date onwards, through (a) transmission of instructions for filling out the voting form to their custody agents, if the shares are deposited with a central depository; (b) transmission of instructions for filling out the remote voting form to the financial institution contracted by the Company for the provision of securities bookkeeping services, Banco Bradesco S.A., if the shares are not deposited with a central depository; (c) transmission of voting instructions via the Ten Meetings digital platform (via the link https://assembleia.ten.com.br/654345119) in the specific tab called "BVD," or (d) sending the remote voting form, made available on the websites of the CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and the Company (ri.sabesp.com.br), duly filled out and signed directly to the Company, at Rua Costa Carvalho, nº 300, in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, or to the email ([email protected]), to the care of the Superintendência de Relações com Investidores.

The voting instructions must be received by the custody agent, bookkeeping agent, or the Company, as applicable, up to 7 (seven) days before the ESM date (i.e., until September 20, 2024, including this date), unless a shorter deadline is established by the service providers, and in the case of direct submission to the Company, the remote voting form, duly filled out, initialed, and signed, without the need for notarization, must be accompanied by the other documents indicated in item I(a) above, as applicable and detailed in the remote voting form.

The Company, in turn, will notify the shareholder, within 3 (three) days of receiving the voting instructions, of the vote count or any need for rectification or re-submission of the voting instructions or accompanying documents.

If there is a discrepancy between any remote voting form received directly by the Company and the voting instruction contained in the consolidated voting map sent by the bookkeeping agent regarding the same CPF or CNPJ registration number, the voting instruction contained in the bookkeeping agent's voting map will prevail, and the form received directly by the Company will be disregarded.

During the voting period, the Shareholder may amend their voting instructions as many times as needed, with the last voting instruction submitted being considered in the Company's voting map.

Shareholders who have already submitted their remote voting forms may also, if they wish, register to participate in the respective Meeting via the Digital Platform, as described in this Manual and within the specified deadline. However, if such shareholder exercises their voting rights at the Meeting, all voting instructions received through remote voting forms identified with their CPF or CNPJ registration number will be disregarded.

III. Voting at the ESM and the limitation on the exercise of voting rights

Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at the resolutions of the Meeting, subject to the limits established in the Company's Bylaws.

5

According to Article 6 of the Company's Bylaws, no shareholder or Group of Shareholders (as defined below), whether Brazilian or foreign, public or private, is allowed to exercise voting rights for more than 30% (thirty percent) of the total number of shares into which the Company's total voting capital is divided, regardless of the shareholder or Group of Shareholders participation in the capital stock ("Limitation on the Exercise of Voting Rights").

Group of Shareholders: Means the group of two or more persons or any other forms of organization (a) that are bound by vote agreements of any nature, including shareholders' agreements, either directly or through controlled, controlling, or under common control persons (or any other forms of organization); or (b) that have control relationships between them; or (c) that are under common control; or (d) in which one person directly or indirectly holds an equity stake equal to or greater than 15% of the capital stock of the other person; or (e) between two persons, a third common investor who directly or indirectly holds an equity stake equal to or greater than 15% of the capital stock of each of the two persons; or (f) that are managed or are under the management of the same person or related parties; or (g) that share the majority of their administrators; or (h) whose employees are beneficiaries of the same post-employment benefit plan; or (i) in which one is a post-employment benefit plan and the other is the person whose employees contribute to that post-employment benefit plan, as established in paragraph 3 of Article 6 of the Bylaws.

In the case of investment funds with a common administrator or manager, only those whose investment and voting exercise policies in shareholders' meetings, under the respective regulations, are under the responsibility of the administrator or manager, as applicable, on a discretionary basis will be considered a Group of Shareholders, as established in paragraph 4 of Article 6 of the Bylaws.

Due to the Limitation on the Exercise of Voting Rights, the Company requests that shareholders who belong to a "Shareholder Group", as defined above, inform the Company of this fact by 11:00 a.m. on October 24, 2024, and indicate which other shareholders are also members of said "Shareholder Group".

Votes exceeding the limits outlined in Article 6 of the Bylaws will not be counted.
