  1. Resources: the operations carried out under the Share Buy-back Program will be supported by the global amount (i) of the available profit and capital reserves, except for the reserves referred to in article 7, paragraph 1, of CVM Instruction 567/2015; and (ii) the accrued result for the current year, excluding the amounts referred to in article 7, paragraph 1, of CVM Instruction 567/2015, to be allocated as appropriate.

The existence of available resources to support the operations of the Share Buy- back Program must be verified based on the most recent annual, interim or quarterly financial statements disclosed by the Company prior to the effective transfer, to the Company, of the ownership of the units issued by it.

IV. Term for acquisition: the negotiations can be carried out for a period of up to 18 (eighteen) months from December 22, 2020, inclusive, and ending, therefore, on June 22, 2022, inclusive.
