SEC filingBanco Santander (Brasil) S.A. Board of Directors approved the election of Gilson Finkelzstain as Chief Executive Officer, following the previously announced succession plan of current CEO Mario Roberto Opice Leão.
The Board of Directors of Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. held a meeting on May 8, 2026, via videoconference, with full attendance and waived call notice. Unanimously, they approved Gilson Finkelzstain's election as CEO, recommended by the Nomination and Governance Committee, as part of the succession for outgoing CEO Mario Roberto Opice Leão, per the March 19, 2026 Material Fact. This leadership transition is critical for investors, as the CEO role influences strategic direction at a major Brazilian bank. Finkelzstain, a Brazilian engineer, meets legal requirements under Resolution CMN 4.970/2021. However, effectiveness requires Central Bank approval, his B3 separation, and Leão's departure per schedule, introducing timing uncertainty but signaling continuity in governance.
