(Trading of Own Shares)

1. Justify in detail the purpose and the economic effects expected from the transaction: Purpose

The potential purposes of the stock acquisition process are to: (i) maximize the allocation of capital through the efficient investment of the available resources; (ii) provide for the delivery of shares to employees and management members of the Company and its subsidiaries within the scope of the compensation models and long-term incentive plans; (iii) provide for the delivery of shares to employees within the scope of institutional projects, such as, incentive to innovation and efficiency projects; and/or (iv) use the shares bought back should there be business opportunities in the future.

Economic Effects

The buyback of own shares may have the following impacts:

  • For stockholders: (i) greater return in the form of dividends since the shares bought back by the Company are withdrawn from market and the payment of dividends is distributed over a lower number of shares; and (ii) increase in the percentage of interest of the stockholder if the shares are cancelled.
  • For the Company: (i) optimization in the use of the resources available for investment; and (ii) change in the capital ratio. In the event of the buyback of the totality of the shares within this program, the financial amount spent will not have significant accounting effects on the
    Company's results.
