  1. Main benefits, costs and risk of the Merger of Shares

The purpose of the Merger of Shares is to promote the combination of the Companies' businesses with benefits to their respective businesses, shareholders, customers, and other stakeholders. The proposed Merger of Shares is strategic due to the complementarity of the Companies' businesses.

At the Companies' view, the Transaction will enable greater value to be generated for the shareholders of both companies, optimizing results, given the synergies and improvement in the capital structure, enabling increased production, reduced costs, and the resulting increase in the supply of food and fiber, produced in a sustainable manner in mature farms located in Mato Grosso state. From an economic-financial point of view, integrating the businesses will promote synergies and increased efficiency in the combined company resulting from the Merger of Shares ("Combined Company").

SLC Agrícola's management estimates that the costs of the Merger of Shares for SLC Agrícola will be approximately sixteen million reais (BRL16,000,000.00), which include costs of appraisals, legal and other advisory services, publications and other related expenses.

Additionally, Terra Santa's management estimates that the costs of the Merger of Shares for Terra Santa will be approximately twenty-five million reais (BRL25,000,000.00), which include costs of appraisals, legal and other advisory services for implementing the Merger of Shares and the Corporate Reorganization, publications and other related expenses.

The Companies do not foresee significant risks arising from the consummation of the Merger of Shares, and its success will depend mainly on the Combined Company's ability to realize growth opportunities and cost savings resulting from the combination of the businesses of SLC Agrícola and Terra Santa.

If such goals are not successfully achieved, the benefits expected from the Merger may not be fully realized, or may take longer than expected to be realized. There are natural risks of price variations in SLC Agrícola shares after the consummation of the Merger of Shares, which is inherent to the capital market and incurred by all shareholders of the Combined Company.

  1. Exchange ratio and criteria for its determination

Subject to the terms and conditions provided for in the Agreement, on the consummation date of the Merger of Shares ("Closing Date"), a total of two million, five hundred and sixteen thousand, four hundred and fifty-four (2,516,454) common shares will be issued by SLC Agrícola and attributed to the shareholders and holders of Subscription Warrants of Terra Santa, which

JUR_SP - 40700809v2 - 4734002.448617

will represent, as of the Closing Date, on a fully diluted basis, one point three percent (1.3%) of the total and voting capital stock of SLC ("Final Interest").

In order to determine the Exchange Ratio, SLC's shares were valued at twenty-five reais and eighty-three centavos (BRL25.83) per share. This amount was determined based on the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") in the last sixty (60) trading sessions of B3 prior to November 26, 2020.

In the event of a redemption, split, reverse split, stock bonus or any other event that impacts the assumptions considered by the parties for determining the Final Interest, the exchange ratio will be adjusted so that the Merger of Shares results in the Final Interest.

  1. Shareholder Approval, other Conditions Precedent and Antitrust Authority Approval

The Transaction is conditioned on obtaining the approval of the Companies' shareholders at their respective shareholders' meetings, as well as verification of certain other conditions precedent usual for transactions of this nature ("Conditions Precedent").

According to the Notice to the Market released on January 7, 2021, the Transaction has been approved, without restrictions, by CADE - Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Administrative Council for Economic Defense).

  1. Calculation of the replacement ratio pursuant to article 264 of Law No. 6,404/76
