Shareholders
Shareholders of Nexa Resources S.A.
Nexa Resources S.A. is a dual-listed public company whose common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange, both under the ticker symbol NEXA. As a foreign private issuer, the company discloses its major shareholders through its annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rather than through a complete public shareholder register, so the information below reflects reportable major holdings rather than every individual shareholder. As of 31 December 2025, Nexa Resources S.A. had 132,438,611 common shares outstanding. Votorantim S.A., a privately held Brazilian industrial conglomerate, is the company’s controlling shareholder, holding 85,655,128 common shares — approximately 64.68% of the outstanding share capital — according to the company’s most recent SEC filings (share count referenced as of 26 March 2026); the remaining shares are held in free float by public investors on the NYSE and TSX. Votorantim S.A. has held its controlling stake since Nexa Resources S.A.’s formation in 2014, when Votorantim contributed Peruvian and Brazilian zinc-mining and smelting assets to the newly formed Luxembourg holding company ahead of its 2017 stock-exchange listing.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Votorantim S.A. is itself a privately held company. The sources reviewed for this profile did not identify a named natural-person ultimate beneficial owner supported by a complete, dated ownership chain that could be multiplied through to an effective percentage in Nexa Resources S.A.; Votorantim S.A.’s ownership is reported in general terms to be linked to the Ermírio de Moraes family, but no complete and dated shareholding chain for named individuals was available in the sources reviewed. No individual UBO or calculated effective percentage is therefore reported here.
Material pending change of control
On 27 August 2026, Votorantim S.A. and Boliden AB (Sweden) signed a definitive agreement under which Boliden AB will acquire all of Votorantim S.A.’s 85,655,128 Nexa Resources S.A. shares (approximately 64.68% of the company) in an all-share transaction, at an exchange ratio of 0.250 newly issued Boliden AB shares per Nexa Resources S.A. share. This implies a price of USD 15.29 per Nexa Resources S.A. share and total implied consideration of approximately USD 1.31 billion. Completion is expected in the first quarter of 2027, subject to approval by Boliden AB and Nexa Resources S.A. shareholders and customary regulatory clearances. Until completion, Votorantim S.A. remains Nexa Resources S.A.’s controlling shareholder.
