c) Explain why it believes that such measurement is the most appropriate one for the correct understanding of its financial position and the results of its operations

 

Income without non-recurring events is aimed at showing the company’s performance excluding timely events that have low probability of recurring, or which occur regardless of the company’s action. Therefore, it accurately shows the company’s performance in a certain time period and provides for comparability between periods.

 

3.3. Identify and comment on any event subsequent to the most recent financial statements for the year that might significantly change them

 

Not applicable.

 

3.4. Describe the policy on allocation of earnings for the past three years, indicating:

 

The Board of Directors submits to the Annual General Stockholders’ Meeting, together with the financial statements, a proposal for the appropriation of net income for the year, and the main appropriations are: (i) 5% to the Legal Reserve, which should not exceed 20% of the capital stock, (ii) distribution of dividends to stockholders (see items “b” and “c” below) and (iii) setting up the following statutory reserves:

 

·Reserve for Dividend Equalization: the purpose of this reserve is to guarantee funds for the payment of dividends, including as interest on capital, or advances, to maintain the flow of stockholders’ remuneration. This reserve is limited to 40% of the capital stock and it is made up with funds: (a) equivalent to up to fifty percent (50%) of net income for the year, adjusted in accordance with Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law; (b) equivalent up to 100% of the realized portion of Revaluation Reserves, recorded as retained earnings; (c) equivalent to up to 100% of the amount of prior year adjustments, recorded as retained earnings; and (d) arising from credits corresponding to dividend advances.

 

·Reserve for Working Capital Increase: the purpose of this reserve is to guarantee funds for the Issuer’s operations. It is limited to 30% of the capital stock, being made up of funds equivalent to up to 20% of net income for the year, adjusted in accordance with Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

·Reserve for Capital Increase in Investees: the purpose of this reserve is to guarantee the exercise of the preemptive right in the subscription of capital increases in investees. It is limited to 30% of the capital stock, being made up of funds equivalent to up to 50% of net income for the year, adjusted in accordance with Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Upon proposal of the Board of Directors, portions of these reserves will be periodically capitalized so that the respective amounts do not exceed the limit of 95% of capital stock. The balance of these reserves, added to that of the Legal Reserve, may not exceed the value of the capital stock.

 

a) Rules on the retention of earnings

 

There have been no changes to the rules regarding the retention of earnings over the past three years. Pursuant to Brazilian Corporate Law, stockholders may resolve at an Annual General Stockholders’ Meeting, based on a proposal by management, on the retention of a portion of net income for the year that had previously been approved as part of the capital budget. Additionally, the mandatory minimum dividend may not be paid in any year in which the management bodies announce to the Annual General Stockholders’ Meeting that this would be incompatible with the Issuer’s financial condition.

 

 

 

 

Over the past three years, no earnings have been retained, and the dividend amount paid by the Issuer has been higher than the mandatory minimum dividend (see item 3.5 below).

 

b) Rules on the distribution of dividends

 

Stockholders are entitled to receive as a mandatory dividend each year the minimum amount of twenty five percent (25%) of the net income computed in the same year, adjusted by the addition or deduction of the amounts specified in letters “a” and “b” of Item I of Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, and in compliance with Items II and III of the same legal provision.

 

As resolved by the Board of Directors, interest on capital can be paid, including the interest on capital paid or credited in the amount of the mandatory dividend, as provided for in Article 9, paragraph 7 of Law No. 9,249/95. Preferred shares entitle their holders to priority in the payment of an annual minimum dividend of R$0.022 per share, non-cumulative and adjusted for any split or reverse split. After the payment of the priority dividend to preferred stockholders, a dividend will be paid to the holders of common shares at R$0.022 per share, non-cumulative and adjusted for any split or reverse split.

 

The Board of Directors, meeting on February 6, 2017, changed the payment of dividends and interest on capital of the Company, which will now account for 35% to 45% of the recurring consolidated net income in the next years. It is noteworthy that net payout range is subject to changes arising from to mergers and acquisitions, tax regulation or regulatory changes, and significant changes in risk-weighted assets (RWA). The aforementioned events that may change the net payout are by no means exhaustive, that is, they are mere examples of situations that may affect payout. Net payout range is subject to changes, but always considering the minimum distribution provided for in our bylaws.

 

Additionally, management may resolve on the distribution of additional profit whenever it deems this convenient for the Issuer and/or its stockholders. Such distributions should not be construed as any future distribution of profits additional to the mandatory minimum dividend.

 

For further information on the percentages of profit distributed over the past three years, see item 3.5 below.

 

Within the scope of implementing the liquidity requirements set forth by Basel III standards, on March 1, 2013, CMN issued Resolution No. 4,193, establishing that dividends will not be paid if a financial institution does not comply with the additional capital requirements in effect as of January 1, 2016, with gradual increases until 2019.

 

This restriction on dividend payment will be progressively applied, according to the extent of non-conformity with the additional capital requirements. Should a financial institution’s additional capital be lower than 25% of that established by CMN for that year, no dividends or interest on capital will be distributed accordingly. If the additional capital is between 25% and 50% of the required amount, 80% of the intended dividends and interest on capital may not be distributed. If the additional capital is higher than 50% and lower than 75% of the required amount, 60% of the dividends and interest on capital may not be distributed. If the additional capital is between 75% and 100% of the required amount, 40% of the intended dividends and interest on capital may not be distributed.

 

c) Frequency of the distribution of dividends

 

Over the past three years, dividends were paid on a monthly basis, as established by our Stockholder Remuneration Policy, approved by the Board of Directors. Such Policy establishes the monthly payment of R$0.015 per share, as a mandatory dividend advance. The date used as reference to determine which stockholders are entitled to receive the monthly dividends is determined based on the stockholding position recorded on the last day of the previous month, and dividends are paid on the first business day of the subsequent month.

 

In recent years, our stockholders received free of charge one new share for every ten shares of the same type that they had, with cost attributed for bonus share, generating tax benefits. Importantly, we maintained the monthly dividend payments of R$0.015 per share.

 

Additionally, over the past three years, supplementary dividends were also paid (half yearly), for which the Board of Directors determines the base date for the stockholding position and payment date. Regarding these half-yearly payments, management verifies the existing profit, determines the amount of dividends that should be distributed as mandatory (see item “a” above), calculates the monthly amount already declared and, finally, determines the outstanding

 

 

 

 

balance payable of mandatory minimum dividend. This amount is declared as a dividend “additional” to those paid monthly.

 

Since July 1980, the Issuer has been compensating its stockholders by means of monthly additional payments. These additional payments have historically been made twice a year and are equally distributed to common and preferred stockholders.

 

For the history of payments by the Issuer, please access the Investor Relations website:

www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Itaú Unibanco > Remuneration to the shareholders.

 

d) Any restrictions on the distribution of dividends imposed by legislation or special regulations applicable to the issuer, as well as agreements, court, administrative or arbitration decisions

 

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. RISK FACTORS

 

4.1. Describe risk factors that may influence an investment decision, particularly those related to:

 

This section addresses the risks we consider material to our business and to investment in our securities. Should any of the events described in such risks occur, our business and financial condition, as well as the value of the investments made in our securities, may be adversely affected. Accordingly, investors should carefully assess the risk factors described below and the information disclosed in this document.

 

Other risks that we currently deem immaterial or we are not aware of may give rise to effects similar to those discussed below should they actually occur.

 

a) The issuer


The value of our securities and derivatives is subject to market fluctuations due to changes in Brazilian or international economic conditions and, as a result, may subject us to material losses.

 

The securities and derivative financial instruments in our portfolio may cause us to record gains and losses, when sold or marked to market (in the case of trading securities), and show fluctuate considerably from period to period due to domestic and international economic conditions. If, for example, we enter into derivative transactions to hedge against decreases in the value of the Brazilian real or in interest rates and the Brazilian real appreciates or interest rates increase, we may incur financial losses and such financial losses could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, we may incur losses from fluctuations in the market value of positions held, including risks associated with transactions subject to variations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, price indexes, and equity and commodity prices, along with various indexes on these risk factors.

 

We cannot predict the amount of realized or unrealized gains or losses for any future period. Gains or losses on our investment portfolio may not contribute to our net revenue in the future or may cease to contribute to our net revenue at levels consistent with more recent periods. We may not successfully realize the appreciation or depreciation now existing in our consolidated investment portfolio or in any assets of such portfolio.

 

Failures, deficiency or inadequacy of our internal processes and human error or misconduct may adversely affect us.

 

Although we have in place information security controls, policies and procedures designed to minimize human error, and make continuous investments in infrastructure, management of crises and operations, the operational systems related to our business may stop working properly for a limited period of time or may be temporarily unavailable due to a number of factors. These factors include events that are totally or partially beyond our control such as power outages, interruption of telecommunication services, and generalized system failures, as well as internal and external events that may affect third parties with which we do business or that are crucial to our business activities (including stock exchanges, clearing houses, financial dealers or service providers) and events resulting from wider political or social issues, such as cyber-attacks or unauthorized disclosures of personal information in our possession.

 

Operating failures, including those that result from human error or fraud, not only increase our costs and cause losses, but may also give rise to conflicts with our clients, lawsuits, regulatory fines, sanctions, interventions, reimbursements and other indemnity costs, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and results of operations.

 

Operational risk also includes legal risk associated with inadequacy or deficiency in contracts signed by us, as well as penalties due to noncompliance with laws and punitive damages to third parties arising from the activities undertaken by us.

 

 

 

 

Cyberattacks may cause loss of revenue and reputational harm through data security breaches that may disrupt our operations or result in the dissemination of proprietary or confidential information

 

We manage and store certain proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data relating to our clients and to our operations. We may be subject to breaches of the information technology systems we use for these purposes. We are strongly dependent on technology and thus are vulnerable to viruses, worms and other malicious software, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of our systems. We also rely in certain limited capacities on third-party data management providers whose possible security problems and security vulnerabilities may have similar effects on us.

 

The costs to us to eliminate or address the foregoing security problems and security vulnerabilities before or after a cyber incident could be significant and the lack of remediation may result in interruptions, delays and may affect clients and partners.

 

We have significant exposure to Brazilian federal government debt.

 

Like most Brazilian banks, we invest in debt securities issued by the Brazilian government. As of December 31, 2016, approximately 16.4% of all our assets and 66.7% of our securities portfolio were comprised of these debt securities. Any failure by the Brazilian government to make timely payments under the terms of these securities, or a significant decrease in their market value, could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Inadequate pricing methodologies for insurance, pension plan and premium bond products may adversely affect us.

 

Our insurance and pension plan subsidiaries establish prices and calculations for our insurance and pension products based on actuarial or statistical estimates. The pricing of our insurance and pension plan products is based on models that include a number of assumptions and projections that may prove to be incorrect, since these assumptions and projections involve the exercise of judgment with respect to the levels and timing of receipt or payment of premiums, contributions, provisions, benefits, claims, expenses, interest, investment results, retirement, mortality, morbidity and persistency. We could suffer losses due to events that are contrary to our expectations directly or indirectly based on incorrect biometric and economic assumptions or faulty actuarial bases used for contribution and provision calculations.

 

Although the pricing of our insurance and pension plan products and the adequacy of the associated reserves are reassessed on a yearly basis, we cannot accurately determine whether our assets supporting our policy liabilities, together with future premiums and contributions, will be sufficient for the payment of benefits, claims, and expenses. Accordingly, the occurrence of significant deviations from our pricing assumptions could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our insurance and pension products. In addition, if we conclude that our reserves and future premiums are insufficient to cover future policy benefits and claims, we will be required to increase our reserves and record these effects in our financial statements, which may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Our insurance operation is subject to regulatory agencies.

 

Insurance companies are subject to SUSEP intervention and/or liquidation. In case of insufficient resources, technical reserves, or poor economic health with respect to a regulated entity, SUSEP may appoint an inspector to act within the relevant company. If such intervention does not remedy the issue, SUSEP will forward to CNSP proposal to withdraw the applicable insurance license.

 

In additional, insurance companies are subject to pecuniary penalties, warnings, suspension of authorization of activities and disqualification to engage in business activities as set in Law.

 

With respect to health insurance companies that are deemed to have financial imbalances or serious economic-financial or administrative irregularities, the Brazilian Regulatory Agency for Private Health Insurance and Plans (ANS) may order the disposal of the applicable health insurance company’s portfolio, or take other measures such as fiscal or technical direction regime for a period not exceeding 365 days, or extrajudicial liquidation.

 

 

 

 

The penalties established for violations committed by health insurance companies and their directors and officers are: (i) warnings; (ii) pecuniary penalties; (iii) suspension of company’s activities; (iv) temporary disqualification for the exercise of management positions in health insurance companies; (v) permanent disqualification for the exercise of management positions in health insurance companies as well as in open private pension funds, insurance companies, insurance brokers and financial institutions; and (vi) the cancellation of the company’s authorization to operate and sale of its portfolio.

 

In this sense, the risks of our insurance operation may be affected negatively by the penalties applied by SUSEP or ANS, as described above.

 

Our policies, procedures and models related to risk control may be ineffective and our results may be adversely affected by unexpected losses.

 

Our risk management methods, procedures and policies, including our statistical models and tools for risk measurement, such as value at risk (VaR), and default probability estimation models, may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all economic environments or against all types of risks, including those that we fail to identify or anticipate. Some of our qualitative tools and metrics for managing risk are based on our observations of the historical market behavior. In addition, due to limitations on information available in Brazil, to assess clients’ creditworthiness, we rely largely on credit information available from our own databases, on certain publicly available consumer credit information and other sources. We apply statistical and other tools to these observations and data to quantify our risk exposure. These tools and metrics may fail to predict all types of future risk exposures. These risk exposures, for example, could arise from factors we did not anticipate or correctly evaluate in our statistical models. This would limit our ability to manage our risks. Our losses, therefore, could be significantly greater than indicated by historical measures. In addition, our quantified modeling may not take all risks into account. Our qualitative approach to managing those risks could prove insufficient, exposing us to material unexpected losses.

 

Our results of operations and financial position depend on our ability to evaluate losses associated with risks to which we are exposed and on our ability to build these risks into our pricing policies. We recognize an allowance for loan losses aiming at ensuring an allowance level compatible with the expected loss, according to internal models credit risk measurement. The calculation also involves significant judgment on the part of our management. Those judgments may prove to be incorrect or change in the future depending on information as it becomes available. These factors may adversely affect us.

 

Damages to our reputation could harm our business and outlook.

 

We are highly dependent on our image and credibility to generate business. A number of factors may tarnish our reputation and generate a negative perception of the institution by our clients, counterparties, stockholders, investors, supervisors, commercial partners and other stakeholders, such as noncompliance with legal obligations, making irregular sales to clients, dealing with suppliers with questionable ethics, unauthorized disclosure of client data, inappropriate behavior by our employees, and third-party failures in risk management, among others. In addition, certain significant actions taken by third parties, such as competitors or other market participants, may indirectly damage our reputation with clients, investors and the market in general. Damages to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

 

The integration of acquired or merged businesses involves certain risks that may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

As part of our growth strategy in the Brazilian and Latin America financial sector, we have engaged in a number of mergers, acquisitions and partnerships with other companies and financial institutions in the past and may pursue further such transactions in the future. Any such transactions involve risks, such as the possible incurrence of unanticipated costs as of result of difficulties in integrating systems platforms, finance, accounting and personnel, or the occurrence of unanticipated contingencies, as well as the breach of the transaction agreements by counterparties. In addition, we may not achieve the operating and financial synergies and other benefits that we expected from such transactions.

 

 

 

 

There is also the risk that antitrust and other regulatory authorities may impose restrictions or limitations on the transactions or on the businesses that arise from certain combinations or impose fines or sanctions due to the interpretation, of the authorities, of irregularities with respect to a corporate merger, consolidation or acquisition, even if the institution has done this lawfully, clearly and transparently.

 

If we are unable to take advantage of business growth opportunities, cost savings, operating efficiencies, revenue synergies and other benefits we anticipate from mergers and acquisitions, or if we incur greater integration costs than we have estimated, then we may be adversely affected.

 

We make estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and any changes to those estimates and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors. While we believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, they are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, our reported operating results could be materially adversely affected.

 

As a result of the inherent limitations in our disclosure and accounting controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file with or submit to SEC under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded, processed summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC and CVM ules and forms. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, including related accounting controls, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. In addition, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls.

 

Any failure by us to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of investments in our securities.

 

We are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to furnish a report by our management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and to include a report by our independent auditors attesting to such effectiveness. Any failure by us to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our ability to report accurately our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent auditors determine that we have a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market prices of our shares and ADSs could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies subject to SEC and CVM regulation, also could restrict our future access to the capital markets.

 

We rely on third party services

 

We have essential services for the proper functioning of our business and technology infrastructure, such as call centers, networks, internet and systems, among others, provided by external or outsourced companies. Impacts on the provision of these services, caused by these companies due to the lack of supply or the poor quality o the contracted services, can affect the conduct of our business as well as our clients.

 

 

 

 

b) Its parent company, direct or indirect, or control group


Our controlling stockholder has the ability to direct our business.

 

As of January 31, 2017, IUPAR, our controlling stockholder, directly owned 51% of our common shares and 25.96% of our total share capital, giving it the power to appoint and remove our directors and officers and determine the outcome of any action requiring stockholder approval, including transactions with related parties, corporate reorganizations and the timing and payment of dividends.

 

In addition, IUPAR is jointly controlled by Itaúsa, which, in turn, is controlled by the Egydio de Souza Aranha family, and by Cia. E. Johnston, which in turn is controlled by the Moreira Salles family. The interests of IUPAR, Itaúsa and the Egydio de Souza Aranha and Moreira Salles families may be different from the interests of our other stockholders.

 

In addition, some of our directors are affiliated with IUPAR and circumstances may arise in which the interests of IUPAR and its affiliates conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. To the extent that these and other conflicting interests exist, our stockholders will depend on our directors duly exercising their fiduciary duties as members of our Board of Directors. Notwithstanding, according to Brazilian Corporation Law, the controlling stockholders should always vote in the interest of the Company. In addition, they are prohibited from voting in cases of conflict of interest in the matter to be decided.

 

c) Its stockholders


Holders of our shares and ADSs may not receive any dividends.

 

Corporations in Brazil are legally required to pay their stockholders a minimum mandatory dividend, at least, on a yearly basis (except in specific cases provided for in applicable law). Our Bylaws determine that we must pay our stockholders at least 25% of our net income calculated and adjusted pursuant to Brazilian Corporate Law. Applicable Brazilian legislation also allows corporations to consider the amount of interest on shareholders’ equity distributed to their stockholders for purposes of calculating the minimum mandatory dividends. The calculation of net income pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law may significantly differ from our net income calculated under IFRS.

 

Brazilian Corporate Law also allows the suspension of the payment of the mandatory dividends in any particular year if our Board of Directors informs our General Stockholders’ Meeting that such payment would be incompatible with our financial condition. Therefore, upon the occurrence of such event, the holders of our shares and ADSs may not receive any dividends. If this happens, the dividends that were not distributed in the particular fiscal year shall be registered as a special reserve and, if not used to cover any losses of subsequent years, the amounts of unpaid dividends still available under such reserve shall be distributed when the financial condition of the corporation allows for such payment.

 

Furthermore, pursuant to its regulatory powers provided under Brazilian law and banking regulations, the Central Bank may at its sole discretion reduce the dividends or determine that no dividends will be paid by a financial institution if such restriction is necessary to mitigate relevant risks to the Brazilian financial system or the financial institution.

 

The relative price volatility and limited liquidity of the Brazilian capital markets may significantly limit the ability of our investors to sell the preferred shares underlying our ADSs, at the price and time they desire

 

The investment in securities traded in emerging markets frequently involves a risk higher than an investment in securities of issuers from the United States or other developed countries, and these investments are generally considered more speculative. The Brazilian securities market is smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and can be more volatile than markets in the United States and other countries. Thus, an investor’s ability to sell preferred shares underlying ADSs at the price and time the investor desires may be substantially limited.

 

 

 

 

The surrender of ADSs may cause the loss of the ability to remit foreign currency abroad and of certain Brazilian tax advantages

 

While ADS holders benefit from the electronic certificate of foreign capital registration obtained in Brazil by the custodian for our preferred shares underlying the ADSs, which permits the depositary bank to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to the preferred shares underlying the ADSs into foreign currency and remit the proceeds abroad, the availability and requirements of such electronic certificate may be adversely affected by future legislative changes.

 

If an ADS holder surrenders the ADSs and, consequently, receives preferred shares underlying the ADSs, such holder will have to register its investment in the preferred shares with the Central Bank of Brazil either as (i) a Foreign Direct Investment, subject to Law No. 4131/62, which will require an electronic certificate of foreign capital registration, the Electronic Declaratory Registration of Foreign Direct Investment (RDE-IED), or (ii) as a Foreign Investment in Portfolio, subject to Resolution CMN No. 4373/14, which among other requirements, requires the appointment of a financial institution in Brazil as the custodian of the preferred shares and legal representative of the foreign investor to the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and the Central Bank of Brazil, as well as the registration of the investment in the preferred shares in the Electronic Declaratory Registration of Portfolio (RDE – Portfolio). The failure to register the investment in the preferred shares as foreign investment under one of the regimes mentioned above (Eg. RDE – IED or RDE – Portfolio) will impact the ability of the holder to dispose of the preferred shares and to receive dividends. Moreover, upon receipt of the preferred shares underlying the ADSs, Brazilian regulations require the investor to enter into corresponding exchange rate transactions and pay taxes on these exchange rate transactions, as applicable.

 

The tax treatment for the remittance of dividends, distribution and the proceeds from any sale of our preferred shares will be less favorable in case a holder of preferred shares obtains the RDE-IED instead of the RDE-Portfolio. In addition, if a holder of preferred shares attempts to obtain an electronic certificate of foreign capital registration, such holder may incur expenses or suffer delays in the application process, which could impact the investor’s ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to our preferred shares or the return of capital on a timely manner.

 

The preferred shares underlying our ADSs do not have voting rights, except in specific circumstances.

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, the holders of preferred shares and therefore of our ADSs are not entitled to vote in our general stockholders’ meetings, except in specific circumstances. Even in such circumstances, ADS holders may be subject to practical restrictions on their ability to exercise their voting rights due to additional operational steps involved in communicating with these stockholders, as mentioned below.

 

According to the provisions of the ADSs deposit agreement, in the event of a general stockholders’ meeting, we will provide notice to the depositary bank, which will, to the extent practicable, send such notice to ADS holders and instructions on how such holders can participate in such general stockholders’ meeting, and ADS holders should instruct the depositary bank on how to vote in order to exercise their voting rights. This additional step of instructing the ADS depositary bank may make the process for exercising voting rights longer for ADS holders.

 

d) Its subsidiary and affiliated companies

 

As we are a holding company, the risk factors that may influence the decision to invest in our securities arise essentially from the risk factors to which our subsidiary and affiliated companies are exposed, as described in Item 4.1.


e) Its suppliers

 

There are factors include events that are totally or partially beyond our control such as power outages, interruption of telecommunication services, and generalized system failures, as well as

 

 

 

 

internal and external events that may affect third parties with which we do business or that are crucial to our business activities (including stock exchanges, clearing houses, financial dealers or service providers). We have an ongoing supplier assessment process that mitigates the risk of discontinuing the provision of services and materials that might affect the bank’s image.

 

f) Its clients


Changes in the profile of our business may adversely affect our loan portfolio.

 

Our historical loan loss experience may not be indicative to our future loan losses. While the quality of our loan portfolio is associated with the default risk in the sectors in which we operate, changes in our business profile may occur due to our organic growth or from mergers and acquisitions, changes in local economic conditions and, to a lesser extent, in the international economic environment, in addition to changes in the tax regimes applicable to the sectors in which we operate, among other factors. Any changes affecting any of the sectors to which we have significant lending exposure may adversely affect our loan portfolio. For example, in recent years, Brazilian banks have experienced an increase in loans to consumers, particularly in the automotive sector. However, this increased demand for vehicle loans has been followed by a significant rise in the level of consumer indebtedness, leading to high nonperforming loan rates. As a result, many financial institutions recorded higher loan losses due to an increased volume of provisions and a decrease in loans for vehicle acquisition.

 

Additionally, changes in the economy and in political conditions, a slowdown in customer demand, an increase in market competition, and changes in regulation and other related changes in countries in which we operate could also adversely affect the growth rate and the mix of our loan portfolio. Past performance of our loan portfolio may not be indicative of future performance.

 

The value of any collateral securing our loans may not be sufficient, and we may be unable to realize the full value of the collateral securing our loan portfolio

 

The market value of any collateral related to our loan portfolio may fluctuate, from the time we required it to the evaluation time, due to the factors related to changes in economic, political or sectorial factors beyond our control. Changes in the value of the collateral securing our loans may result in a reduction in the value we realize from collateral and may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may incur losses associated with counterparty exposure risks.

 

We may incur losses if any of our counterparties fail to meet their contractual obligations, due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons that are exclusively attributable to our counterparties. This counterparty risk may arise, for example, from our entering into reinsurance agreements or credit agreements pursuant to which counterparties have obligations to make payments to us, or from our carrying out transactions in the foreign currency market (or other markets) that fail to be settled at the specified time due to non-delivery by the counterparty, clearing house or other financial intermediary. We routinely conduct transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds and other institutional clients, and their failure to meet their contractual obligations may adversely affect our financial performance.

 

g) Economic sectors in which the issuer operates

 

Crises and volatility in the financial markets of countries other than Brazil may affect the global financial markets and the Brazilian economy and have a negative impact on our operations.

 

The economic and market conditions of other countries, including the United States, countries of the European Union, and emerging markets, may affect the credit availability and the volume of foreign investments in Brazil, to varying degrees. Crises in these countries may decrease investors’ interest in Brazilian assets, which may materially and adversely affect the market price of our

 

 

 

 

securities, making it more difficult for us to access capital markets and, as a result, to finance our operations in the future.

 

Banks that operate in countries considered to be emerging markets, including ours, may be particularly susceptible to disruptions and reductions in the availability of credit or increases in financing costs, which may have a material adverse impact on their operations. In particular, the availability of credit to financial institutions operating in emerging markets is significantly influenced by aversion to global risk. In addition, any factor impacting investors’ confidence, such as a downgrade in credit ratings, since the ratings of financial institutions, including ours, tend to be subject to a ceiling based on the sovereign credit rating, or an intervention by a government or monetary authority in one of such markets, may affect the price or availability of resources for financial institutions in any of these markets, which may affect us.

 

The disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets may also have significant consequences in the countries in which we operate, such as volatility in the prices of equity securities, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Higher uncertainty and volatility may result in a slowdown in the credit market and the economy, which, in turn, could lead to higher unemployment rates and a reduction in the purchasing power of consumers. Furthermore, such events may significantly impair our clients’ ability to perform their obligations and increase overdue or non-performing loan operations, resulting in an increase in the risk associated with our lending activity. Thus, global financial crises, in addition to the Brazilian macroeconomic environment, may also affect in a material and adverse way the market price of securities of Brazilian issuers or lead to other negative effects in Brazil and in the countries in which we operate and have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Ongoing high profile anti-corruption investigations in Brazil may affect the perception of Brazil and domestic growth prospects.

 

Certain Brazilian companies in the energy and infrastructure sectors are facing investigations by CVM, SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Brazilian Federal Police and other Brazilian public entities which are responsible for corruption and cartel investigations, in connection with corruption allegations (so called Lava Jato investigations) and, depending on the outcome of such investigations and the time it takes to conclude them, they may face (as some of them have already faced) downgrades from credit rating agencies, experience (as some of them have already experienced) funding restrictions and a reduction in revenues, among other negative effects. Such negative effects may hinder the ability of those companies to timely honor their financial obligations bringing losses to us as several of them are our clients. The companies involved in the Lava Jato investigations, a number of which are our clients, may also be (as some of them already have been) prosecuted by investors on the grounds that they were misled by the information released to them, including their financial statements. Moreover, the current corruption investigations have contributed to reduce the value of the securities of several companies. The investment banks (including Itau BBA Securities) that acted as underwriters on public distributions of securities of such investigated companies are also parties to certain law suits in the United States and may be parties to other legal proceedings yet to be filed. We cannot predict how long the corruption investigations may continue, or how significant the effects of the corruption investigations may be for the Brazilian economy and for the financial sector that may be investigated for the commercial relationships it may have held with companies and persons involved in Lava Jato investigations. Other high profile investigation, besides Lava Jato, ongoing in Brazil is the so called Zelotes operation. If the allegations of such investigations are confirmed they may also affect some of our clients and their credit trustworthiness. In March 2016, the Brazilian IRS (Internal Revenue Services) summoned us to account for certain tax proceedings related to BankBoston Brazil which came under investigation in relation to the Zelotes operations. We acquired BankBoston Brazil’s operation from Bank of America in 2006. On December 1, 2016, the Brazilian Federal Police conducted searches at Itaú Unibanco’s premises, to look for documents related to those proceedings, and documents related to payments made to lawyers and consultants that acted on those proceedings. We clarify that the agreement with Bank of America for the acquisition of BankBoston Brazil’s operations included a provision whereby the seller would remain liable and responsible for the conduct of BankBoston’s tax proceedings, including with regard to the retention of lawyers and consultants. Therefore, according to such agreement, any and all payments made by Itaú Unibanco to lawyers and consultants were made strictly on behalf of Bank of America. These investigations have not yet been concluded, and we remain fully available and will cooperate with the authorities should any further clarification be needed. After reviewing our control procedures

 

 

 

 

and our monitoring systems, we believe we are in compliance with the existing standards, especially related to anti-money laundering standards. Notwithstanding, due to the size and breadth of our operations and our commercial relationship with investigated companies or persons, and due to the several banks, both publicly and privately owned, that Itaú Unibanco acquired throughout the last 15 years, we may also come within the scope of investigations, which may ultimately result in reputational damage, civil or criminal liability. Negative effects on a number of companies may also impact the level of investments in infrastructure in Brazil, which may also lead to lower economic growth.

 

Changes in economic conditions may adversely affect us.

 

Our operations are dependent upon the performance of the Brazilian economy and, to a lesser extent, the economies of other countries in which we do business, Latin American countries in particular. The demand for credit and financial services, as well as clients’ ability to pay, is directly impacted by macroeconomic variables, such as economic growth, income, unemployment, inflation, and fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. Therefore, any significant change in the Brazilian economy and, to a lesser extent, in the economies of other countries in which we do business, Latin American countries in particular, may affect us.

 

After a period of accelerated economic expansion, Brazil’s growth rates began to slow down in 2011 and by 2015 the country was in recession. In 2016, GDP decreased by 3.6%. Growth has been impacted by high interest rate, low commodities price, and high corporate leverage. In the long term, growth may be limited by a number of factors, including structural factors, such as inadequate infrastructure, which entail risks of potential energy shortages and deficiencies in the transportation sector, among others, and lack of qualified professionals, which can reduce the country’s productivity and efficiency levels. Low levels of national savings require relatively large financial flows from abroad, which may falter if political and fiscal instability is perceived by foreign investors. Depending on their intensity, these factors could lead to decreasing employment rates and to lower income and consumption levels, which could result in increased default rates on loans we grant for individuals and non-financial corporations and, therefore, have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Brazilian authorities exercise influence on the Brazilian economy. Changes in monetary, fiscal and foreign exchange policies and in the Brazilian government’s structure may adversely affect us.

 

Brazilian authorities intervene from time to time in the Brazilian economy, through changes in fiscal, monetary, and foreign exchange policies, which may adversely affect us. These changes may impact variables that are crucial for our growth strategy (such as foreign exchange and interest rates, liquidity in the currency market, tax burden, and economic growth), thus limiting our operations in certain markets, affecting our liquidity and our clients’ ability to pay.

 

Uncertainty regarding future economic policies may contribute to an increase in the volatility of the Brazilian capital markets, which, in turn, may have an adverse impact on us. Other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in Brazil and abroad that affect Brazil may also affect us.

 

Inflation and fluctuations in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Sudden increases in prices and long periods of high inflation may cause, among other effects, loss of purchasing power and distortions in the allocation of resources in the economy. Measures to combat high inflation rates include a tightening of monetary policy, with an increase in the SELIC interest rate, resulting in restrictions on credit and short-term liquidity, which may have a material adverse effect on us. Changes in interest rates may have a material effect on our net margins, since they impact our funding and credit granting costs.

 

In addition, increases in the SELIC interest rate could reduce demand for credit and increase the costs of our reserves and the risk of default by our clients. Conversely, decreases in the SELIC interest rate could reduce our gains from interest-bearing assets, as well as our net margins.

 

 

 

 

Instability of foreign exchange rates may negatively affect us.

 

Brazil has a floating foreign exchange rate system, pursuant to which the market establishes the value of the Brazilian real in relation to foreign currencies. However, the Central Bank may intervene in the purchase or sale of foreign currencies for the purpose of easing variations and reducing volatility of the foreign exchange rate. In spite of those interventions, the foreign exchange rate may significantly fluctuate. In addition, in some cases, interventions made with the purpose of avoiding sharp fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian real in relation to other currencies may have the opposite effect, leading to an increase in the volatility of the applicable foreign exchange rate.

 

Instability in foreign exchange rates could negatively impact our business. A potential depreciation of the Brazilian real could result in (i) losses on our liabilities denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies; (ii) a decrease in our ability to pay for obligations denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, as it would be more costly for us to obtain the foreign currency required to meet such obligations; (iii) a decrease in the ability of our Brazilian borrowers to pay us for debts denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies; and (iv) negative effects on the market price of our securities portfolio. On the other hand, an appreciation of the Brazilian real could cause us to incur losses on assets denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies. For further information on how the effects of these variables may affect us, please see “Crises and volatility in the financial markets of countries other than Brazil may affect the global financial markets and the Brazilian economy and have a negative impact on our operations” below.

 

Government fiscal accounts deterioration may affect us.

 

If the government fiscal accounts deterioration continues, it could generate a loss of confidence by local and foreign investors. Likewise, regional governments are facing fiscal concerns due to their high debt burden, declining revenues and inflexible expenditures. In 2017, the spotlight will remain on fiscal reforms. The Lower House of the Brazilian Congress may approve the proposed Social Security reforms, which are critical for achieving future compliance with the spending limits, by the end of the second quarter. Diminished confidence in government fiscal circumstances could lead to the downgrading of the Brazilian sovereign debt by credit rating agencies, and negatively impact the local economy, causing a depreciation of the Brazilian real, an increase in inflation and interest rates and a deceleration of economic growth, thus adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We face risks associated with the increasingly competitive environment and recent consolidations in the Brazilian banking industry.

 

The Brazilian market for financial and banking services is highly competitive. We face significant competition from other Brazilian and international banks, in addition to other companies competing in markets we operate. Competition has increased as a result of recent consolidations among financial institutions in Brazil and of regulations that increase the ability of clients to switch business between financial institutions. Such increased competition may adversely affect us by, among other things, limiting our ability to retain or increase our current client base and to expand our operations, or by impacting the fees and rates we adopt, which could reduce our profit margins on banking and other services and products we offer.

 

The UK exit from the European Union could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

On June 23, 2016, the U.K. electorate voted in a general referendum in favor of the U.K. exiting from the European Union (so-called “Brexit”). Brexit could adversely affect European or worldwide economic or market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial markets and impact the operations of Itau BBA International. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. The effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

 

 

 

h) Regulation of the sectors in which the issuer operates


Changes in applicable law or regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Changes in the law or regulations applicable to financial institutions in Brazil may affect our ability to grant loans and collect debts in arrears, which may have an adverse effect on us. Our operations could also be adversely affected by other changes, including changes with respect to restrictions on remittances abroad and other exchange controls as well as by interpretations of the law by courts and agencies in a manner that differs from our legal advisors’ opinions.

 

In the context of economic or financial crises, the Brazilian government may also decide to implement changes to the legal framework applicable to the operation of Brazilian financial institutions. For example, in response to the global financial crisis which began in late 2007, Brazilian national and intergovernmental regulatory entities, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, proposed regulatory reforms aiming to prevent the recurrence of similar crises, which included a new requirement to increase the minimum regulatory capital (Basel III). Please see the section “Our Risk Management”, “Regulatory Environment, Basel III Structure and Basel III Implementation in Brazil” item, for further details on regulatory capital requirements. Once the implementation of the Basel III framework is completed for Brazilian banks and its effects fully evaluated, we may need to reassess our funding strategy for regulatory capital should additional regulatory capital be required to support our operations under the new standards.

 

Moreover, the Brazilian Congress is considering enacting new legislation that, if signed into law as currently drafted, may have an adverse effect on us. For example, a proposed law to amend the Brazilian consumer protection code would allow courts to modify terms and conditions of credit agreements in certain circumstances, imposing certain difficulties for the collection of amounts from final consumers. In addition, local or state legislatures may, from time to time consider bills intending to impose security measures and standards for customer services, such as limits in queues and accessibility requirements, that, if signed into law, could affect our operations. More recently, certain bills have passed (and others were proposed) in certain Brazilian states or municipalities that impose, or aim to impose, restrictions on the ability of creditors to include the information about insolvent debtors in the records of credit protection bureaus, which could also adversely affect our ability to collect credit outstanding.

 

We also have operations outside of Brazil, including, but not limited to, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay and Switzerland. Changes in the laws or regulations applicable to our business in the countries where we operate, or the adoption of new laws, and related regulations, may have an adverse effect on us.

 

Increases in compulsory deposit requirements may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Compulsory deposits are reserves that financial institutions are required to maintain with the Central Bank. Compulsory deposits generally do not provide the same returns as other investments and deposits because a portion of these compulsory deposits does not bear interest; instead, these funds must be held in Brazilian federal government securities and used to finance government programs, including a federal housing program and rural sector subsidies. The Central Bank has periodically changed the minimum level of compulsory deposits. Increases in such level reduce our liquidity to grant loans and make other investments and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We are subject to regulation on a consolidated basis and may be subject to liquidation or intervention on a consolidated basis.

 

We operate in a number of credit and financial services related sectors through entities under our control. For regulation or supervision purposes, the Central Bank treats us and our subsidiaries and affiliates as a single financial institution. While our consolidated capital base provides financial strength and flexibility to our subsidiaries and affiliates, their individual activities could indirectly put our capital base at risk. Any investigation or intervention by the Central Bank, particularly in the activities carried out by any of our subsidiaries and affiliates, could have a material adverse impact on our other subsidiaries and affiliates and, ultimately, on us.

 

If we or any of our financial subsidiaries become insolvent, the Central Bank may carry out an intervention or liquidation process on a consolidated basis rather than conduct such procedures for

 

 

 

 

each individual entity. In the event of an intervention or a liquidation process on a consolidated basis, our creditors would have claims on our assets and the assets of our consolidated financial subsidiaries. In this case, claims of creditors of the same nature against us and our consolidated financial subsidiaries would rank equally in respect of payment. If the Central Bank carries out a liquidation or intervention process with respect to us or any of our financial subsidiaries on an individual basis, our creditors would not have a direct claim on the assets of such financial subsidiaries, and the creditors of such financial subsidiaries would have priority in relation to our creditors in connection with such financial subsidiaries’ assets. The Central Bank also has the authority to carry out other corporate reorganizations or transfers of control under an intervention or liquidation process.

 

Tax reforms may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

 

The Brazilian government regularly amends tax laws and regulations, including by creating new taxes, which can be temporary, and changing tax rates, the basis on which taxes are assessed or the manner in which taxes are calculated, including in respect of tax rates applicable solely to the banking industry. Tax reforms may reduce the volume of our transactions, increase our costs or limit our profitability.

 

Decision on lawsuits due to government monetary stabilization plans may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We are a defendant in lawsuits for the collection of understated inflation adjustment for savings resulting from the economic plans implemented in the 1980s and 1990s by the Brazilian Federal Government to combat inflation.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding is a defendant in lawsuits filed by individuals and in class actions filed by: (i) consumer protection associations; and (ii) public attorneys’ office (Ministério Público) on behalf of holders of savings accounts. In connection with these class actions, Itaú Unibanco Holding establishes provisions upon service of the individual claim requiring the enforcement of a judgment handed down by the judiciary, using the same criteria used to determine the provisions of individual actions.

 

The Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal, or STF) has issued a number of decisions in favor of the holders of savings accounts, but has not ruled regarding the constitutionality of economic plans and their applicability to savings accounts. Currently, the appeals on this issue are suspended by order of the Supreme Court, until there is a definitive statement of this Court regarding the constitutional issue.

 

We are also subject to operational risks associated with the handling and conducting of a large number of lawsuits involving government monetary stabilization in case of loss.

 

Tax assessments may adversely affect us.

 

As part of the normal course of business, we are subject to inspections by federal, municipal and state tax authorities. These inspections, arising from the divergence in the understanding of the application of tax laws may generate tax assessments which, depending on their results, may have an adverse effect on our financial results.

 

i) Foreign countries in which the issuer operates

 

The risk factors related to foreign countries that could influence the decision to invest in our securities are described in sub items (a), (f), (g), and (h) of this item 4.1.

 

j) Social and environmental issues

 

We may incur financial losses and damages to our reputation from environmental and social risks

 

Environmental and social factors are considered one of the most relevant topics for the business, since they can affect the creation of shared value in the short, medium and long terms, from

 

 

 

 

the standpoint of the organization and its main stakeholders. In addition, we understand social and environmental risk as the risk of potential losses due to exposure to social and environmental events arising from the performance of our activities.

 

We understand that environmental and social issues may affect our activities and the revenue of our clients, causing delays in payments or default, especially in the case of significant environmental and social incidents. The way these risks may affect us becomes more evident where we finance projects in sectors with higher environmental and social impacts, such as mining, and large hydroelectric plants, which require comprehensive environmental and social due diligence as well as mitigating measures.

 

We recognize that climate change is one of the major challenges for us because climate events may affect our activities in our administrative buildings, network of branches and data processing centers, and are taken into consideration for all geographical regions in which we operate in Brazil.

 

4.2. Describe, on a quantitative and qualitative basis, the main market risks to which the issuer is exposed, including those relating to foreign exchange and interest rate risks.

 

Market risk is the possibility of losses resulting from fluctuations in the market value of positions held by a financial institution, most typically caused by variations in foreign Exchange rates, interest rates, equity, inflation indexes and commodities prices, and Brazilian inflation indexes, along with various indexes for these risk factors.

 

Market risk management is the process by which Itaú Unibanco’s management monitors and controls risk of variations in the value of financial instruments due to market movements, while aiming to optimize the risk-return ratio through an adequate limit and alert structure, effective risk management models and related management tools.

 

The Itaú Unibanco’s market risk management institutional policy is in line with the principles of CMN Resolution No. 3,464 and subsequent amendments. This set of principles guides the institution’s approach to market risk control and management across all business units and legal entities of Itaú Unibanco.

 

Our market risk framework categorizes transactions as part of either the Trading Portfolio or the Banking Porftolio, in accordance with criteria established by specific regulation. The Trading Portfolio is composed of all transactions with financial and commodity instruments (including derivatives) undertaken with the intention of trading, to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities or to cover the risk within this portfolio, and which do not have any restrictions on trading. Profits arise from actual or expected price movements in the short term.

 

The Banking Portfolio is predominantly characterized by transactions originated from the banking business and operations related to the institution’s balance sheet management. It has the no-intention of resale and medium- and long-term time horizons as general guidelines.

 

Market risk exposures inherent in various financial instruments, including derivatives, are composed of various risk factors, primary components of market in price fixation. The main risk factor groups measured by Itaú Unibanco are as follows:

 

§Interest rates: risk of loss in transactions subject to changes in interest rates;
§Foreign exchange linked: risk of loss in transactions subject to changes to foreign exchange linked interest rates;
§Exchange variation: risk of loss in transactions subject to foreign exchange variation;
§Price Index Linked: risk of loss in transactions subject to changes in price index linked;
§Variable income: risk of loss in transactions subject to changes in prices of equities and commodities.

 

 

 

 

The CMN has regulations establishing the segregation of market risk exposure at a minimum into the following categories: interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equities and commodities. Brazilian inflation indexes are treated as a group of risk indicators and receive the same treatment of the others risk indicators, such as interest and foreign exchange rates, and follows the governance and risk limits framework adopted by Itaú Unibanco for market risk management.

 

VaR – Consolidated Itaú Unibanco Holding

 

The Consolidated VaR of Itaú Unibanco is calculated based on the historical simulation approach. This new methodology fully reprices all positions by using the actual historical distribution of assets.

 

The Consolidated Total VaR table shows the analysis of the exposure to market risk of the portfolios of Itaú Unibanco.

VaR - Regulatory Portfolio

 

Itaú Unibanco uses the historical simulation methodology to calculate both the historical and the stressed VaR of its regulatory portfolio (exposure of the trading portfolio and exposure to foreign currency and commodities of the banking portfolio). The assumption of the historical VaR methodology is that the expected distribution of profits and losses (Profit and Loss Statement) possible for a portfolio over a time horizon can be estimated from the past behavior of the market risk factors to which the portfolio is exposed. To calculate VaR for non-linear instruments, a full valuation is performed, without potential simplification in the calculation. VaR is calculated with a confidence interval of 99%, over a 4-year period (1,000 business days) and a holding period that varies according to the portfolio’s market liquidity, taking a minimum horizon of 10 business days. Additionally, using a conservative approach, VaR is calculated daily, with and without weighing for volatility, and the final VaR is the more restrictive of the two results.

Sensitivity Analyses (Regulatory and Banking Portfolios)

 

As required by Brazilian regulation, we conduct sensitivity analysis for market risk factors considered relevant. The highest resulting losses are presented below, with impact on result, by risk factor, in each such scenario and calculated net of tax effects, providing a view of our exposure under different circumstances.

 

The sensitivity analyses of the Banking and Regulatory Portfolios presented here are based on a static assessment of the portfolio exposure, and, therefore, do not consider the dynamic response capacity of management (treasury and control areas) to initiate mitigating measures and minimize the possibility of significant losses.

 

In addition, the study’s sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risks, irrespective of any accounting practices we adopt.

For the measurement of these sensitivities, the following scenarios are used:

§Scenario I: Addition of 1 base point to the fixed interest rate, currency coupon, inflation, and interest rate index, and 1 percentage point in currency and share prices;
§Scenario II: Shocks of 25 percent in fixed interest rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both for growth and fall, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor; and;
§Scenario III: Shocks of 50 percent in fixed interest rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both for growth and fall, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

Backtesting

 

The effectiveness of the VaR model is validated by the use of backtesting techniques that compare hypothetical and effective daily gains and losses with the estimated daily VaR. The number of exceptions (i.e. deviations) with respect to the pre-established VaR limits should be consistent, within an acceptable margin, with the hypothesis of 99.0% confidence intervals (i.e., there is a 1.0% probability that the financial losses are higher than the losses estimated by the model), considering a period of 250 business days (ending on December 31, 2016). The backtesting analysis presented below takes into consideration the ranges suggested on the document “Supervisory Framework for the use of backtesting in conjunction with the internal models approach to market risk capital requirements” published by the Basel Committee. The ranges are divided into:

 

 

 

 

§Green (0 to 4 exceptions): corresponds to backtesting results that do not suggest any problems with the quality or accuracy of the models adopted ;
§Yellow (5 to 9 exceptions): refers to an intermediate range group, which indicates the need to pay attention and/or monitor or the need of reviewing the models adopted; and
§Red (10 or more exceptions): demonstrates the need for an improvement action.

 

According to Circular No. 3,646 of the Brazilian Central Bank, hypothetical testing consists of applying market price variations for a specific day to the portfolio balance at the end of the preceding business day. The effective testing is the variation in the portfolio value up to the end of the day, including intraday transactions and excluding amounts not related to market price variations, such as fees, brokerage fees and commissions.

 

The backtesting for the regulatory portfolio with confidence level of 99% and a period of 250 business days showed no failures in relation to effective and hypothetical results in the period.

 

4.3. Describe the legal, administrative or arbitration proceedings to which the issuer or its subsidiaries are a party, specifying labor, tax and civil claims, among others: (i) that are not confidential, and (ii) that are relevant for the business of the issuer or its subsidiaries, indicating:

 

For purposes of this item, we adopted as materiality criterion operations involving amounts higher than R$578 million, which represents 0.5% of the Issuer’s stockholders’ equity (R$115,590 million on December 31, 2016).

 

Civil, tax, and labor contingencies are provided for whenever a loss is assessed as probable. Provisions are also recorded, irrespective of the event of an unfavorable outcome to the company, for those cases of tax contingencies in which the outcome of the case is dependent on the recognition of unconstitutionality of the legislation in force.

 

Management believes that the provisions for legal and administrative contingencies in place are sufficient to cover probable losses and that these may be reasonably estimated. We believe that any losses arising from other administrative or legal contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results.

e.Amounts, assets or rights involved: R$942,399,095.28 (historical amount of the “B Account” set up on June 10, 1997).
f.Main facts: This is public-interest civil action based on alleged administrative improbity involving aspects of Banerj’s privatization process, related to the set up and use of the so-called “B Account” (an escrow account). In this proceeding, plaintiffs claim that there was undue withdrawals of funds deposited in the “B Account” through allegedly unlawful procedures adopted in labor claims filed by Banerj’s former employees (i.e. the non-filing of applicable appeals), for which reason they seek any withdrawal from the “B Account” to be previously submitted to the Finance Secretary of the State of Rio de Janeiro for approval, and also seek an award for damages against the defendants for the amounts unduly withdrawn under the penalties set forth in the Brazilian Improbity Law (Law n.º 8,429/1992), due to the administrative improbity of the defendants. The case was dismissed, recognizing the legality of the “B Account” set up and of the settlements signed. Decision of the Federal Regional Court upheld the dismissal of the case. This decision was later annulled for lack of notice to the Public Prosecution Office. The Federal Regional Court will try the case again.

h.Analysis of impact in the event of an unfavorable decision: To refund the amounts unduly withdrawn from the “B Account”.

f.Main facts: Claim filed by the City of São Paulo for the collection of service tax (ISS) on lease operations carried out throughout the country, challenging the place where the service was provided, the calculation basis, and the fact that amounts due were paid to the municipality in which the Bank has its head office (municipality of Poá/State of São Paulo). The motion to stay execution filed by the Bank was denied. The Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo (TJSP) granted the appeal filed by the Bank to annul the appealed judgment due to alleged curtailment of the right to defend itself. The case was remanded to the original court so that the expert evidence required by the Bank is produced, and a new judgment is rendered. After widely debating how to adjust the Surety bond pledged as guarantee, a ruling was given to grant the amendment to this instrument, which will cause a significant decrease in the monthly amount paid by the Bank as commission. A ruling was rendered determining the production of expert evidence and nominating a court-appointed expert; the parties should subsequently appoint retained experts and present questions before the due time expires. A motion for clarification was filed by the Bank to limit the scope of the expert evidence. However, this motion filed by the Bank was denied. The Bank filed a pleading presenting questions and appointing a retained expert. The parties await the beginning of the expert evidence phase. The consolidation of all the actions so these can be tried as a whole was ordered. The replacement of bank guaranty with performance bond was authorized. The production of expert evidence started.

TYPE OF CONTINGENCY
Labor 7,232 Contingencies are related to lawsuits in which alleged labor rights based on labor legislation specific to the related profession are discussed, such as overtime, salary equalization, reinstatement, transfer allowances, and other matters.
Civil 5,172 Civil contingencies are usually related to demands related to the revision of contracts and compensation for damages and pain and suffering, in addition to specific lawsuits for the collection of understated inflation adjustment for savings resulting from the economic plans implemented in the 1980s and 1990s as a measure to combat inflation¹.

 

 

 

 

Tax 6,594 Tax provisions are related to lawsuits in which we discuss the legality and unconstitutionality of legislation in force. These lawsuits, which the conglomerate classifies as legal liabilities, refer particularly to challenges to the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS contributions. The conglomerate is also a party to tax and social security lawsuits classified as contingent liabilities, which likelihood of loss is classified as probable, with main discussions on tax service (ISS) on certain revenues and on Accident Prevention Factor (FAP).

 

¹In spite of having complied with the rules then in force, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is a defendant in lawsuits filed by individuals on the grounds of this topic, and also in class actions filed by either (i) consumer protection associations or (ii) the Public Attorneys’ Office on behalf of savings account holders. Regarding these lawsuits, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING records provisions when it is served with the process and when individual plaintiffs apply to enforce rulings issued by the Judge, by using the same criteria adopted to determine provisions for individual lawsuits. The Federal Supreme Court (STF) has issued a number of decisions favorable to the holders of savings accounts, but has not consolidated its understanding regarding the constitutionality of the economic plans and its applicability to savings accounts. The ruling of appeals involving this matter is currently suspended by the STF, until it hands down a final ruling on the rights under discussion.

Operational Risk

 

The institution has an operational risk management policy (HF-19 – INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONAL RISK, INTERNAL CONTROLS AND COMPLIANCE), to establish guidelines and responsibilities associated with the management framework of the Operational Risk, Internal Controls and Compliance, which is annually updated and it is applicable to Itaú Unibanco Holding and its subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad.

 

This policy is disclosed in a corporate portal and a summary can be viewed in the "Public Report – Integrated Management of Operational Risk /Internal Controls/Compliance", at www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, in the section Corporate Governance, Regulations and Policies. Public Report and HF-19 were updated and approved in 2016 (10/28/2016) by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The Institution has a risk management policy disclosed on the corporate portal, (HF 25 – LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL POLICY), aimed at establishing the liquidity risk management governance controlled by the Finance and Risk Management and Control Area of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. This policy was updated and published in 2017 (March 28, 2017), after being approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2017.

 

In addition, an internal circular (GR 78 - GOVERNANCE LCR - LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO) was instituted to present the set of guidelines and procedures defined for the LCR disclosure decision process that should be adopted by all liquidity risk managers. The Policy was published in the corporate portal in 2016 (November 10, 2016) after approval by the Commission for Risk and Finance Regulations (CNRF) on October 3, 2016.

 

Risk and Capital Management

 

We regard risk management as an essential instrument to optimize the use of our resources and to assist us in selecting business opportunities in order to maximize value creation to stockholders.

 

Our risk management process:

 

identifies and measures existing and potential risks to our positions

 

 

 

 

approves risk management and control institutional policies, procedures and methodologies consistent with the directives from, and approved by, the Board of Directors; and

 

seeks the best risk-return ratios for Itaú Unibanco’s portfolio management.

 

The risk identification process purpose is to map internal and external risk threats that may affect the business’ and supporting units’ strategies, potentially impacting Itaú Unibanco’s results, capital, liquidity and reputation.

 

The risk management processes permeate the entire institution and are aligned with the Board of Directors and the Senior Management directives, which, through the Committees and Superior Commissions, described below, define the overall objectives by setting targets and limits for business units. The capital management and control units, in turn, support our management through monitoring and analyzing risk and capital processes.

 

Our risk management organizational structure is in conformity with Brazilian and international regulations in place and is aligned with the best practices of the market. Control of risks is performed in a centralized manner by an independent unit, in order to ensure that such risks are managed pursuant to our risk appetite and our existing policies and procedures. Centralized control is intended to provide the Board of Directors and senior management with a global view of our exposures to risks, as well as with a prospective view of our capital adequacy, so as to optimize and expedite corporate decisions.

 

We manage proprietary information technology (IT) systems to comply with capital requirements, as well as for risk measurement purposes, following regulations and regulatory models. We also coordinate actions among different units to verify compliance with qualitative and quantitative requirements established by relevant authorities to maintain the minimum required capital and monitor risks.

 

Risk Management

 

Credit Risk

 

We define credit risk as the risk of loss associated with: failure by a borrower, issuer or counterparty to fulfill their respective financial obligations as defined in the contracts; value loss of a credit agreement resulting from a deterioration of the borrower’s, issuer’s or counterparty’s credit rating; reduction of profits or income; benefits granted upon subsequent renegotiation; or debt recovery costs.

 

Our credit risk management is the primary responsibility of all Business Areas and is aimed at maintaining the quality of the credit portfolio at levels that are consistent with our risk appetite, for each market segment in which we operate. Our credit risk governance is managed through subcommittees, which report to the Board of Directors or to our executive structure, and act primarily by assessing the competitive market conditions, setting our credit limits, reviewing control practices and policies, and approving these actions at the respective authority levels. This includes the risk communication and reporting processes, including disclosure of institutional and supplementary policies, and other information, on credit risk management, are responsibility of this structure. We manage the credit risk to which it is exposed during the entire credit cycle, from before approval, during the monitoring process and up to the collection or recovery phase.

 

Our credit risk management and control structure is centralized and independent of the business units and defines operational limits, risk mitigation mechanisms and processes, and instruments to measure, monitor and control credit risk inherent to all products, portfolio concentrations and potential changes in the economic environment. Our portfolio, policies and strategies are continuously monitored so as to ensure compliance with the rules and laws in effect in each country.

 

 

 

 

The key assignments of the business areas are (i) monitoring the portfolios under their responsibility, (ii) granting credit, taking into account approval levels, market conditions, macroeconomic prospects, changes in markets and products and the effects of sector and geographical concentration, and (iii) credit risk management aimed at making the business sustainable.

 

Our credit policy is based on internal factors, such as: client ratings, performance and evolution of our portfolio, default levels, return rates, economic capital, among others; and on external factors such as: interest rates, market default indicators, inflation and changes in consumption, among others. Policies and products’ evaluation process enables us to identify potential risks in order to ensure that credit decisions make sense from an economic and risk perspective.

 

With respect to our individuals, small and middle market companies, credit ratings are assigned based on two statistical models: (i) application (in the early stages of our relationship with a customer) and (ii) behavior score (used for customers with whom we already have a relationship) models. Extraordinarily, an individual analysis of specific cases may be performed, in which case credit approval follows applicable authority levels.

 

For large companies, classification is based on information such as the counterparty’s economic and financial situation, its cash-generating capacity, the economic group to which it belongs and the current and the prospective situation of the economic sector in which it operates. Credit proposals are analyzed on a case-by-case basis through the approval governance.

 

We have a structured process to maintain a diversified portfolio, which is considered appropriate by our institution. The concentrations are monitored continuously for economic sectors, and largest debtors, allowing preventive measures to be taken to avoid the violation of the established limits.

 

We rate government securities and other debt instruments according to their credit quality parameters with the purpose of managing the exposures.

 

We also strictly control our credit exposure to clients and counterparties, acting to reverse occasional limit breaches. We may use contractual covenants for these purposes, such as the right to demand early payment or require additional collateral.

 

To measure credit risk, we take into account the probability of default by the borrower, issuer or counterparty, the estimated amount of exposure in the event of default, past losses from default and concentration of borrowers. Quantifying these risk components is part of the lending process, portfolio management and definition of limits. Models are used as tools to quantify these factors, and contribute to more exact decision-making.

 

The models used by us are independently validated, to ensure that the databases used in constructing the models are complete and accurate, and that the method of estimating parameters is adequate, so as to reduce the modeling risk and keep the models calibrated, to that they reflect risk parameters more accurately.

 

We rely on a specific structure and processes aimed at ensuring that the country is managed and controlled, including: (i) establishment of country ratings; (ii) determination of limits for countries; and (iii) monitoring of limits.

 

In line with the principles of CMN regulation, our credit risk management structure and institutional policy are approved by our Board of Directors and are applicable to all companies and subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad.

 

Operational Risk

 

Operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses arising from failure, deficiency or inadequacy of internal processes, people or systems or from external events that affect the

 

 

 

 

achievement of strategic, tactical or operational objectives. It includes legal risk associated with inadequacy or deficiency in contracts signed by us, as well as penalties due to noncompliance with laws and punitive damages to third parties arising from the activities undertaken by us.

 

Internally, we classify its risks events in:

Internal fraud;
External fraud;
Labor claims and deficient security in the workplace;
Inadequate practices related to clients, products and services;
Damages to our own physical assets or assets in use;
Interruption of our activities;
Failures in information technology systems; and
Failures in the performance, compliance with deadlines and management of our activities.

 

In line with CMN and Central Bank regulations, we have an operational risk management structure and institutional policy, which are annually approved by the Board of Directors and are applicable to our local and foreign companies and subsidiaries.

 

We have a governance process that is structured through forums and subcommittees composed of senior management, which, in turn, report to the Board of Directors, and by well-defined roles and responsibilities in order to reinforce the segregation of the business and management and control activities, ensuring independence between the areas and, consequently, well-balanced decisions with respect to risks. This is reflected in the risk management process carried out on a decentralized basis under the responsibility of the business areas and by a centralized control carried out by the internal control, compliance and operational risk department.

 

The objective of managing operational risk is to support decision-making, seeking always to identify and assess risks correctly, to create value for the shareholders and to protect our assets and our image. The managers of the executive areas use corporate methods constructed and made available by the internal control, compliance and operational risk area, so as to guarantee the quality of the control environments and comply with internal guidelines and current regulations.

 

Among the methodologies and tools used are the self-evaluation and the map of our prioritized risks, the approval of processes, products, and system development products and projects, the monitoring of key risk indicators that and the database of operational losses, guaranteeing a single conceptual basis for managing processes, systems, projects and new products and services.

 

Operational risk management includes conduct risk, which is subject to mitigating procedures to assess product design (suitability) and incentive models. The inspection area is responsible for fraud prevention. Irrespective of their origin, specific cases may be handled by risk committees and integrity and ethics committees.

 

Within the governance of the risk management process, the consolidated reports on risk monitoring, controls, action plans and operational losses are regularly presented to the business area executives.

 

It is worth noting that the dissemination of the risk and control culture to the employees by means of training is an important pillar, aimed at providing a better understanding of the matter and playing a relevant role in its mitigation.

 

Crisis Management and Business Continuity

 

The purpose of our Business Continuity Program is to protect our employees, ensure the continuity of the critical functions of our business lines, safeguard revenue and sustain both a stable financial market in which we operate and the trust of our clients and strategic partners in providing our services and products.

 

 

 

 

Our Business Continuity Program is composed of procedures for relocating and/or recovering operations in response to a variety of interruption levels and can be divided into two key elements:

 

Crisis Management: centralized communication and response processes to manage business interruption events and any other types of threats to our image and reputation of its identity before its employees, clients, strategic partners and regulators. Our structure has a command center that constantly monitors daily operations, as well as the media channels in which we are mentioned. Our success of crisis management takes place through the focal agents, who are the representatives appointed by the business areas and that work in the monitoring of potential problems, resolution of crisis, resumption of business, improvement of processes and search for prevention actions; and

 

Business Continuity Plans (BCP): document with procedures and information, developed, consolidated and maintained available for use during possible incidents, allowing the resumption of critical activities in acceptable terms and conditions. For the quick and safe resumption of operations, we have established, in our BCP, corporate wide and customized actions for our lines of business by means of:
   
Disaster Recovery Plan: focused on the recovery of our primary data center, ensuring the continuity of the processing of critical systems within minimum pre-established periods;

 

Workplace Contingency Plan: employees responsible for carrying out critical business functions have alternative facilities from which to perform their activities in the event the buildings in which they usually work become unavailable. There are approximately 2,000 contingency dedicated seats that are fully equipped to meet the needs of critical business units in emergency situations;

 

Emergency Plan: procedures aimed at minimizing the effects of emergency situations that may impact our facilities, with a preventive focus; and

 

Processes Contingency Plan: alternatives (Plan B) to carry out the critical processes identified in the business areas.

 

In order to keep the continuity solutions aligned with the business requirements the program applies the following tools to understand the institution:

 

Business Impact Analysis (BIA): evaluates how critical it is to resume processes that support the delivery of products and services. Through this analysis, the business’ resumption priorities are defined; and

 

Threats and Vulnerabilities Analysis (AVA): identification of threats to the locations where our buildings are located. The controls’ efficiency is evaluated against potential threats in order to identify vulnerabilities so that controls are adjusted or implemented to enhance the resilience level of our critical facilities.

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the likelihood that an institution will not being able to effectively honor its expected and unexpected obligations, current and future, including those from guarantees commitment, without affecting its daily operations or incurring significant losses.

 

Our liquidity risk control is carried out by an independent group of our business units that is responsible for determining the composition of our reserves, proposing assumptions for the performance of cash flows, identifying, assessing, monitoring, controlling and reporting on a daily

 

 

 

 

basis the exposure to liquidity risk, in different timeframes, proposing liquidity risk limits in accordance with the group risk appetite, communicating any mismatches, considering liquidity risk on an individual basis in the countries where we operate, simulating the behavior of cash flows in stress conditions, assessing and reporting in advance the risks inherent to new products and operations, as well as reporting on the information required by the regulatory agencies. All activities are subject to assessment by our independent validation, internal controls and audit departments.

 

The liquidity risk measurement comprises all financial trades of our companies, as well as possible contingent and unexpected exposures, such as those derived from settlement services, provision of sureties and guarantees, and credit lines contracted and not used.

 

Our liquidity policies and associated limits are established based on prospective scenarios, reviewed periodically and based on definitions from senior management.

 

The document “Public Access Report – Liquidity Risk”, detailing the guidelines set forth by the institutional liquidity risk management policy can be found on the website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations under Corporate Governance, Rules and Policies.

 

We manage and control the liquidity risk on a daily basis, through governance approved at corporate bodies, which, among other things, provides for minimum liquidity limits to be adopted, sufficient to absorb possible cash losses under situations of stress, measured by both in-house and regulatory calculation methodologies.

 

As from October 1, 2015, a minimum Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) has been required of banks with total assets exceeding R$100 billion, which is calculated on an individual or consolidated basis for institutions that are part of a Prudential Conglomerate. This indicator is calculated as required by the Central Bank of Brazil, in line with international guidelines.

 

As required by BACEN Circular Letter No. 3,724, Itaú Unibanco has, since October 2015, monthly sent to BACEN a disclosure requirement for the LCR. As from the second quarter of 2016, this information will be publicly disclosed, in accordance with BACEN Circular No. 3,749.

 

The table below shows the schedule for introduction of LCR, with a minimum requirement of 60% as from October 2015, rising gradually to 100% in January 2019.

 

Timetable for limits to be observed  From January 1st 
   2015   2016   2017   2018   2019 
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)   60%(1)   70%   80%   90%   100%

(1) From October 1st 2015

 

Additionally, and pursuant to the requirements of Resolution CMN nº 4,090 and Central Bank regulations nº 3,749, we are required to deliver on a monthly basis our Liquidity Risk Statements (DLR) to the Central Bank and the following items are regularly prepared and submitted to the senior management for monitoring and decision support:

 

different scenarios for liquidity projections;
contingency plans for crisis situations;
reports and charts to enable monitoring risk positions;
assessment of funding costs and alternatives; and
tracking, monitoring and continuously control of funding sources considering counterparty type, maturity and other aspects.

 

Social and Environmental Risk

 

We perceive the social and environmental risk as the risk of potential losses due to exposure to social and environmental events arising from the performance of our activities.

 

 

 

 

Mitigation actions of social and environmental risk are carried out through processes mappings, internal controls, monitoring new regulations on the subject, and recording occurrences in internal databases.

 

In addition, risks identified, prioritized and actions taken are reported to our management of social and environmental risk.

 

Please refer to http://www.itau.com.br/_arquivosestaticos/RI/pdf/pt/DOC_RI_POLITICA_DE_SUSTENTABILIDADE_DEZ_2016.pdf, for further details about our Sustainability and Social Environmental Responsibility Policy.

 

The social and environmental risk management is carried out by the first line of defense in its daily operations, supplemented by a technical support of our legal and risk control area, which has a team specialized in social and environmental management. Business units also have their criteria for the approval of new products, including assessing the social and environmental risks, which ensures compliance in all new products and processes employed by the institution. Governance with respect to these risks also includes the Social and Environmental Risk Committee, which is primarily responsible for emitting institutional views of social and environmental risk exposure related to our activities and operations.

 

Our efforts to improve the assessment of social and environmental risks have been recognized as a benchmark in Brazil and abroad, as shown by our recurring presence in the major sustainability indexes abroad, such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and the Euronext Vigeo – Emerging 70. In Brazil, we are included in the Corporate Sustainability Index. We have also been awarded numerous prizes on the subject.

 

Reputational Risk

 

We define reputational risk as the risk arising from internal practices, risk events and external factors that may generate a negative perception of our bank among clients, counterparties, stockholders, investors, supervisors, commercial partners, among others, which could affect the value of our brand and financial losses, in addition to adversely affecting our capability to maintain our existing commercial relations, start new businesses and continue to have access to financing sources.

 

We believe that our reputation is extremely important in achieving our long-term goals, which is why the institution tries to align its speech with ethical and transparent practice and work, which is essential to raise the confidence of Itaú Unibanco’s stakeholders. Itaú Unibanco’s reputation depends on its strategy (vision, culture and skills) and derives from direct or indirect experience of the relationship between Itaú Unibanco and its stakeholders.

 

Since the reputational risk directly or indirectly permeates all of our operations and processes, we have an structure that seeks to ensure that potential reputational risks are identified, analyzed and managed while in the initial phases of its operations and the analysis of new products.

 

The treatment given to reputational risk is structured by means of many processes and internal initiatives, which, in turn, are supported by internal policies, which seek to provide mechanisms for the monitoring, management, control and mitigation of the main reputational risks. Among them are (i) risk appetite statement; (ii) process for the prevention and fight against the use of Itaú Unibanco in unlawful acts; (iii) crisis management processes and business continuity procedures; (iv) processes and guidelines with respect to governmental and institutional relations; (v) corporate communication processes; (vi) brand management processes; (vii) ombudsman offices initiatives and commitment to customer satisfaction; and (viii) ethics guidelines and the prevention of corruption.

 

Regulatory Risk

 

We consider regulatory risk as the risk arising from losses due to fines, sanctions and other penalties applied by regulatory agencies resulting from lack of compliance with regulatory

 

 

 

 

 

requirements. The regulatory risk is managed by way of a structured process aimed at identifying changes in the regulatory environment, analyzing their impacts on the institution and monitoring the implementation of actions to comply with regulatory requirements.

 

We have a structure established in internal policies to recognize, distribute, monitor and comply with regulatory requirements. This structure involves various areas of the institution, and consists of: (i) lines of defense; (ii) monitoring draft legislation, public notices and public hearings; (iii) monitoring new rules and definition of action plans; (iv) relationship with regulators and professional organizations; (v) monitoring action plans; (vi) controlling compliance with legal decisions and TAC (conduct adjustment agreements), executed in public civil actions. In addition, the institution’s risks are classified and prioritized according to our internal control methodology.

 

Model Risk

 

Our risk management already has proprietary models for risk management that are continuously monitored and reviewed whenever necessary, which aim at ensuring effective strategic and business decisions.

 

Model risk is defined as the risk that arises from the models used by us not correctly, reflecting, on a consistent basis, the relationships of variables of interest, which can create results that systematically differ from actual results. This risk may materialize due the application of models to situations that differ from those originally modeled for or as a result of methodological inadequacies during their development.

 

The best market practices are used to manage the modeling risks to which the institution is exposed during the entire lifetime of each model utilized. Best market practices can be classified into four main steps: development, implementation, validation and use. The best practices used by the institution with respect to model risk control include: (i) certification of the quality of the database used; (ii) application of a check-list of essential steps to be taken during the development of the model in question; (iii) the use of conservative estimates in judgmental models; (iv) use of external benchmarks; (v) approval of results generated in model implementation; (vi) independent technical validation of models; (vii) validation of use of models; (viii) assessments of the impact in the use of models; (ix) monitoring of performance of models; and (x) monitoring of the distribution of the explanatory variables and final score with respect to a model.

 

Country Risk

 

Country risk is defined as the risks of losses arising from noncompliance with the financial obligations in the terms agreed upon by borrowers, issuers, counterparties or guarantors as a result of actions taken by the government of the country where the borrower, issuer, counterparty or guarantor is located or of political, economic and social events related to the country.

 

We operate in many other countries in addition to Brazil. In addition to our foreign units, we have a relationship with borrowers, issuers, counterparties and guarantors from many places in the world, regardless of whether we have a foreign unit in the place where the borrower, issuer, counterparty or guarantor is located.

 

We have a specific structure for the management and control of country risk, consisting of commissions and committees and dedicated teams, with responsibilities defined in policies. The institution has a structured and consistent procedure for managing and controlling country risk, including: (i) the establishment of country ratings; (ii) the determination of limits for specific countries; and (iii) the monitoring of limits.

 

Business and Strategy Risk

 

We define the business and strategy risk as the risk of a negative impact on our financial results or capital as a consequence of flaws in the strategic planning, making adverse strategic decisions, our incapability to implement the proper strategic plans and/or changes in its business

 

 

 

 

environment. Since business and strategic risk can directly affect the performance of our bank, we have implemented various mechanisms to ensure that both the business and the strategic decision making processes follow proper governance standards, have the active participation of officers and the Board of Directors, are based on market, macroeconomic and risk information and are aimed at optimizing the risk-return ratio. Decision-making and the establishment of business and strategy guidelines count on the full engagement of the Board of Directors, primarily through the Strategy Committee, and of the executives, through the Executive Committee. In order to handle risk adequately, we have governance and processes that involves the Risks & Finance Control and Management Area in business and strategy decisions, so as to ensure that risk is managed and decisions are sustainable in the long term. They are: (i) the qualifications and incentives of board members and executives; (ii) the budgetary process; (iii) product assessment; (iv) the evaluation and prospecting of proprietary mergers and acquisitions; and (v) a risk appetite framework which, for example, restricts the concentration of credit and exposure to specific and material risks.

 

Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Risk

 

Products that compose portfolios of our insurance companies are related to life and elementary insurance, as well as pension plans and premium bonds. Accordingly, we understand that the main risks inherent to these products are:

 

Underwriting risk is the possibility of losses arising from insurance products, pension plans and premium bonds that go against our expectations, directly or indirectly associated with technical and actuarial bases used for calculating premiums, contributions and technical provisions;
Market risk is the possibility of losses resulting from fluctuations in market value of assets and liabilities that comprise technical actuarial reserves;
Credit risk is the possibility of noncompliance, by a given debtor, with obligations related to the settlement of operations that involve the trading of financial assets or reinsurance;
Operational risk is the possibility of the occurrence of losses arising from the failure, deficiency or inadequacy of internal processes, people and systems, or from external events that affect the achievement of the strategic, tactical or operational objectives of the insurance, pension and premium bonds operations; and
Liquidity risk in insurance operation is the possibility of the institution not be able to timely honor its obligations to policyholders and beneficiaries due to the lack of liquidity of the assets comprising actuarial technical reserves.

 

In line with good national and international practices and to ensure that risks arising from insurance products, pension plans and premium bonds are properly identified, measured, assessed, reported and approved in relevant forums, we have a risk management framework, whose guidelines are established in institutional guidelines, approved by our Board, applicable to companies and subsidiaries exposed to risk from insurance products, pension plans and premium bonds, in Brazil and abroad.

 

The process of risk management for insurance, pensions and premium bonds plans is based on defined responsibilities distributed between the control and business areas, ensuring that they are independent of each other and focusing on the special nature of each risk, as per the guidelines established by us.

 

As part of the risk management process, there is a governance structure where decisions may be escalated to subcommittees, thus ensuring compliance with several regulatory and internal requirements, as well as balanced decisions relative to risks.

 

Our objective is to ensure that assets serving as collateral for long-term products, with guaranteed minimum returns, are managed according to the characteristics of the liabilities, so that they are actuarially balanced and solvent over the long term.

 

Each year, liabilities for long-term products, which result in projected future benefits flows, are mapped using actuarial assumptions. This mapping enables Asset Liability Management models to be created, and these are used to define the best composition of the asset portfolio to neutralize the risk

 

 

 

 

of this type of product, taking into account their economic and financial viability over the long term. Portfolios of collateral assets are rebalanced periodically according to changes in market prices, our liquidity requirements and the changes in the characteristics of the liabilities.

 

Capital Management

 

The Board of Directors is the main body responsible for our capital management and is responsible for approving the institution’s capital management policies and guidelines. The Board is also responsible for approving the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process) report, a process which is intended to assess our capital adequacy by identifying material risks; by defining the need for additional capital for such risks and the internal means of quantifying it; by preparing a capital plan, both for normal and stress situations; and by structuring a capital contingency plan. At the executive level, committees are responsible for approving risk assessment and capital calculation methodologies, as well as reviewing, monitoring and recommending capital-related documents and topics to the Board of Directors. As for the subcommittees, we have a dedicated structure for capital management, which consolidates information and coordinates related processes, all of which subject to verification by the independent validation, internal controls and audit areas.

 

In order to provide the necessary information for supporting decision making by the Executives and the Board of Directors, management reports are prepared and presented at subcommittees, informing about our capital adequacy, as well as about the projections of future capital levels in normal and stress situations.

 

Minimum requirements

 

Our capital minimum requirements are expressed as ratios of the capital available stated by the Referential Equity (PR), or Total Capital, and risk-weighted assets, or RWA. These are consistent with a set of resolutions and circulars disclosed by the CMN and the Central Bank of Brazil since 2013, implementing in Brazil the global capital requirement standards known as Basel III.

 

The PR consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital, as defined by CMN resolutions. The total RWA is determined as the sum of the risk-weighted asset amounts for credit, market, and operational risks based on standardized approaches.

 

From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, the minimum Total Capital ratio required was 9.875%. The required minimum Total Capital ratio was 11% between October 1, 2013, and December 31, 2015. The required minimum Total Capital ratio is scheduled for a gradual reduction to 8% on January 1, 2019.

 

Additionally, the Central Bank rules call for Additional Common Equity Tier I Capital (ACP), corresponding to the sum of the components ACPConservation, ACPCountercyclical and ACPSystemic, which, in conjunction with the requirements mentioned, increase capital requirements over time. Under CMN Resolution, the values of the components ACPConservation and ACPCountercyclical will increase gradually from 0.625%, as from January 1, 2016, to 2.5% as from January 1, 2019. However, the countercyclical capital buffer is triggered during the credit cycle expansion phase, and currently, according to Central Bank rules, the required amount for the countercyclical capital buffer portion is zero. Further, if this portion should increase, the new percentage takes effect only 12 months after the announcement. In the case of component ACPSystemic, the current requirement applicable under Central Bank rules is 0%, increasing gradually from 0.25%, as from January 1, 2017, to 1% as from January 1, 2019.

 

The Basel III regulatory reform also redefined the requirements for qualifying the instruments eligible for Tier I and Tier II Capital, which in Brazil are governed by CMN Resolution 4.192, including a phase-out schedule for instruments currently included in capital, which were issued before the rule came into effect and which do not fully meet the new requirements.

 

 

 

 

Composition of Capital

 

Pursuant to current regulations, our Referential Equity (PR), used to monitor compliance with the capital requirements imposed by the Central Bank, is the sum of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital, according to which:

 

Common Equity Tier 1: sum of social capital, reserves and retained earnings, less deductions and prudential adjustments
Additional Tier 1 Capital: consists of instruments of perpetual nature, which meet certain eligibility requirements. Together with Common Equity Tier I it makes up Tier I capital; and
Tier 2 Capital: consists of subordinated debt instruments with defined maturity dates that meet certain eligibility requirements. Together with Common Equity Tier I and Additional Tier I Capital, it makes up Total Capital.

 

In accordance with CMN Resolution 4,193 and subsequent amendments, for the purpose of calculating minimum capital requirements, the amount of RWA, obtained by adding up the following installments, must be calculated:

 

RWA = RWACPAD + RWAMINT + RWAOPAD

 

RWACPAD = portion related to exposures to credit risk, calculated using standardized approach;

RWAMINT = portion related to the market risk capital requirement, calculated using internal approach, according to Central Bank rules, it includes units which are not considered significant, which follow standardized model;

RWAOPAD = portion related to the calculation of operational risk capital requirements, calculated using standardized approach.

 

Capital Adequacy

 

Through our Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), we assess the adequacy of our capital to face the incurred risks. For ICAAP, capital is composed by regulatory capital for credit, market and operational risks, and by the necessary capital to face other risks.

 

In order to ensure our capital soundness and availability to support business growth, we maintain Referential Equity levels above the minimum levels, according to the Common Equity Tier I, Additional Tier I Capital, and Basel ratio.

 

On December 31, 2016, our Regulatory Capital reached R$139,477 million, of which R$ 115,940 milion as Tier 1 Capital and R$ 23,537 milion as Tier II Capital.

b) the objectives and strategies of the risk management policy, if any, including:

 

i. risks that are intended to be hedged Itaú Unibanco has a risk management framework aimed at (i) identification of the risks; (ii) analysis of materiality; (iii) risk measurement; (iv) responses to risks; (v) risk monitoring; and (vi) communication and reporting. In addition to meeting regulatory requirements, the identification process should be continuously improved. Among the risks to which we seek hedge, we highlight as follows:

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is the possibility of losses due to the failure by the borrower, issuer or counterparty to perform their respective financial obligations under agreed upon terms, the devaluation of a credit agreement arising from a deterioration of the risk rating of the borrower, issuer or counterparty, the reduction of earnings or remuneration, and the benefits granted upon renegotiation or the recovery costs.

 

For further information, see “Risk and Capital Management - Pillar 3” on website www.itau.com.br/investor-relations, Corporate Governance.

 

Operational Risk

 

The aim of the policy is to ensure a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities at all levels of the conglomerate related to the risk management guidelines, as determined by the Board of Directors. Among them:

·Identify, evaluate and control and/or mitigate operational risk events.
·Monitor exposures to operational risk events.
·Report to the committees established in governance the relevant operational risk events and their deviations from the tolerance levels settled.

 

The risks we seek hedge and/or mitigation are classified in accordance with the definitions adopted by the Basel Committee and the Central Bank of Brazil:

 

Internal fraud;
External fraud;
Labor claims and deficient security in the workplace;
Inadequate practices related to clients, products and services;
Damages to our own physical assets or assets in use;

 

 

 

 

Interruption of our activities;
Failures in information technology systems; and
Failures in the performance, compliance with deadlines and management of our activities.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

We seek to hedge against the likelihood that we will not be able to effectively honor our expected or unexpected current and future obligations, including those from guarantee commitments, without affecting our daily operations and not incurring significant losses.

 

ii. instruments used for hedging purposes

 

Risk management principles

 

To assume and manage risks is the essence of our activities and, for this, we must have clearly established risk management objectives. In this context, the risk appetite defines the nature and the level of risks acceptable for the organization and the risk culture guides the attitudes required to manage them. We seek to maintain robust and company-wide risk management processes to serve as a basis for its strategic decisions intended to ensure business sustainability.

 

The principles bellow provide risk management, risk appetite fundamentals, and the guidelines regarding the actions taken by our employees in their daily routines:

 

1. Sustainability and customer satisfaction: We intend to be a leading bank in sustainable performance and customer satisfaction. We are concerned about creating shared values for employees, customers, shareholders and society to ensure the longevity of the business. We'll just do business that is good for customers and for the bank

 

2. Risk Culture: Our risk culture goes beyond policies, procedures and processes, strengthening the employees’ individual and collective responsibility to do the right thing, at the right time and in the right way, with respect for ethical business. Please refer to the Risk Culture item bellow for further information.

 

3. Risk Pricing: We operate and assume risks in business that we know and understand and we avoid unknown risks or risks that provide no competitive advantages, and carefully assesses risk-return ratios.

 

4. Diversification: We have low appetite for volatility in our results and accordingly, we operate with a diversified base of customers, products and business, seeking risk diversification we are exposed and giving priority to low-risk transactions.

 

5. Operational excellence: We intend to provide agility, as well as a robust and stable infrastructure, so as to offer high quality services.

 

6. Ethics and respect for regulations: At Itaú Unibanco, ethics is non-negotiable. For this reason, we promote an institutional environment of integrity, educating its employees to cultivate ethical relationships and businesses, as well as respecting the norms, and therefore caring for our reputation.

 

In 2016, we reviewed our risk appetite policy, which was established and approved by the Board of Directors and guides tour business strategy. Our risk appetite is grounded on the following declaration of the Board of Directors:

 

 

 

  

“We are a universal bank, operating predominantly in Latin America. Supported by our risk culture, we operate based on rigorous ethical and regulatory compliance standards, seeking high and growing results, with low volatility, by means of the long-lasting relationship with clients, correctly pricing risks, well-distributed fund-raising and proper use of capital.”

 

Based on this declaration, the bank established five dimensions, each of which comprising a set of metrics associated with the key risks involved, combining complementary measurements and seeking a comprehensive view of its exposure:

 

·Capitalization dimension: establishes that we should have sufficient capital to protect against a serious recession or stress events without the need to adjust its capital structure under adverse circumstances. It is monitored by following up on our capital ratios in usual or stress situations, and debt issue ratings.

 

·Liquidity dimension: establishes that our liquidity should be able to support long stress periods. It is monitored by following up on our liquidity ratios.

 

·Composition of results dimension: establishes that our business will basically focus on Latin America, where we will have a diversified range of customers and products, with low appetite for results volatility and high risk. This dimension includes business and profitability, as well as market and credit risks aspects. The metrics monitored by the bank seek to ensure, by means of exposure concentration limits such as, for example, industry sectors, quality of counterparties, countries and geographic regions and risk factors, a suitable composition of the bank’s portfolios, aiming at low volatility of results and business sustainability.

 

·Operational risk dimension: focuses on controlling operational risk events that may adversely impact our business strategy and operations. This control is carried out by monitoring key operational risk events and incurred losses.

 

·Reputation dimension: deals with risks that may impact our brand value and reputation before customers, employees, regulators, investors and the general public. In this dimension, risks are monitored by following up on our customers’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction, our media exposure and observation of our conduct.

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for approving risk appetite guidelines and limits, performing its activities with the support of the Risk and Capital Management Committee (CGRC) and the Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

 

Risk appetite is regularly monitored, analyzed and reported to executive levels and the CGRC. If the monitoring of some metrics points to a level above the risk appetite, in normal or projected situations, there is a pre-established governance with authority reporting levels, including to the Board of Directors, which organizes the necessary discussions and actions to be taken to resume exposure to desired levels of risk appetite.

 

Risk Culture

 

Aiming at strengthening our values and aligning the behavior of our employees with risk management guidelines, we adopt several initiatives to disseminate the risk culture. Our Risk Culture is based on four basic principles:

 

·We take risk consciously;

 

 

 

  

·We discuss about our risks;

 

·We take action on our risks;

 

·We are all risk managers.

 

These principles are our guidelines and aim to help our employees to consciously understand, identify, measure, manage and mitigate risks.

 

In addition to the bank’s policies, procedures and processes, the risk culture strengthens the employees’ individual and collective responsibility for managing the risks connected to their individual activities, respecting business management with ethics.

 

We promote the risk culture by emphasizing a behavior that helps people of all company levels to undertake and manage risks in a conscious way. By disseminating these principles, the institution fosters the understanding and an open discussion about the risks, so that they are kept within the risk appetite levels established, being liable for each employee individually, regardless of their position, area or duties.

 

We also make some channels available for communication of operating failures, internal or external fraud, conflicts at the workplace, or cases that may result in inconveniences and/or losses for us or our customers. All employees or third parties are responsible for informing any problems immediately, as soon as they become aware of a situation.

 

Operational Risk

 

We have a governance structured based on discussion forums and corporate bodies, which, in turn, report to the Board of Directors, and on well-defined roles and responsibilities to reinforce the segregation among the business, management and control activities, thus ensuring the independence between units and, consequently, informed decisions with respect to risks. This is reflected in the risk management carried out on a decentralized basis under the responsibility of the business units, and in the centralized control carried out by the Operational Risk and Internal Control and Compliance units by means of methodologies, training and monitoring of the control environment on an independent basis.

 

Among the methodologies and tools used are the self-evaluation and the map of the organization’s prioritized risks, the approval of processes, products, and system development projects, the monitoring by test of controls and action plans of identified failures. Our operational risk framework ensures a conceptual exclusive basis for the management of processes, systems, and new products and services.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

We ensure full capacity to honor payments with respect to financial commitments assumed and we manage our liquidity reserves through estimates of funds that will be available for investments, taking into account the continuity of business in normal conditions.

 

Our liquidity risk control is carried out by an independent group of the business units and is responsible for determining the composition of the reserve, proposing assumptions for the performance of cash flows in different timeframes, proposing and monitoring liquidity risk limits in accordance with the institution’s risk appetite, communicating any mismatches, considering the

 

 

 

  

liquidity risk on an individual basis in the countries where we operate, simulating the behavior of cash flows in stress conditions, assessing and reporting in advance the risks inherent to new products and operations, as well as reporting on the information required by the regulatory bodies.

 

All activities are subject to assessment by the independent validation, internal controls and audit departments.

 

iii. organizational structure for risk management

 

Risk Governance and Capital

 

Risk and capital governance

 

As previously mentioned, the CGRC is responsible for supporting the Board of Directors in performing its duties related to our capital and risk management. At the executive level we established subcommittees, chaired by our CEO, that are responsible for risk and capital management and report directly to the Risk and Capital Management Committee. The Board of Directors is the main authority with respect to risk and capital management decisions. The following committees are part of our risk and capital management governance structure:

 

 

 

Risk & Capital Management Committee (CGRC): supports the Board of Directors in performing its duties related to our risk and capital management by meeting, at least, four times annually, and submitting reports and recommendations to assist the Board of Directors in its decision-making with respect to:

 

§Decisions regarding the risk appetite of the institution, in terms of capital, liquidity, results, operational risk and reputation, ensuring these aspects are in alignment with our strategy and including: acceptable levels of capital and liquidity; types of risk to which we could be exposed as well as aggregate limits for each type of risk; tolerance with respect to volatility of results and risk concentrations; and general guidelines on tolerance regarding risks that may have an impact on the value of our brand (i.e., image risk);
§Supervision of our risk management and control activities in order to ensure their suitability to the risk levels assumed and to the complexity of the operations as well as compliance with regulatory requirements;
§Review and approval of policies and strategies for capital management, which establish mechanisms and procedures for maintaining capital compatible with the risks that are taken by us;
§Establishing our minimum expected return on capital as a whole and for our lines of business as well as monitoring performance;

 

 

 

  

§Supervision of our incentive structures, including compensation, seeking to ensure their alignment with risk control and value creation objectives; and
§Fostering improvement in our Risk Culture.

 

See item 12. General Meeting and Management for more information on the responsibilities of the Audit Committee and for further information about the CGRC.

 

Superior Market Risk and Liquidity Committee (CSRML): meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for setting guidelines and governance for investments and market and liquidity risks regarding our consolidated positions and business lines.

 

Superior Operational Risk Committee (CSRO): meets on a bimonthly basis and is responsible for understanding the risks of our processes and business, defining guidelines for operational risks management and assessing the results achieved by our Internal Controls and Compliance System.

 

Superior Products Committee (CSP): meets on a weekly basis and is responsible for evaluating products, operations, services and processes that are beyond the authority of the Products Committees that report to it or that involve image risk to us.

 

Superior Retail Credit and Collection Committee (CSCCV): meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for approving credit policies and assessing the performance of Retail Credit and Collection portfolios and strategies.

 

Superior Wholesale Credit and Collection Committee (CSCCA): meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for approving credit policies and assessing the performance of Wholesale Credit and Collection portfolios and strategies.

 

Additionally, we have subcommittees, chaired by our CRO and CFO, which are also responsible for risk and capital management. They can report directly to the Risk and Capital Management Committee or to the subcommittees mentioned above.

 

To support this structure, we have the Risks & Finance Control and Management Area, structured with specialized departments and subordinated to our CRO and CFO, intending to independently and in a centralized manner to ensure that the institution’s risks and capital are managed in accordance with established policies and procedures.

 

Superior Credit Committee (CSC): meets on a weekly basis and is responsible for analyzing and deciding on credit proposals that are beyond the authority of the Credit Committees that report to it, and analyzing decisions which were not made due to a lack of consensus at the committee immediately subordinate to it or cases where, due to the relevance or characteristics of the topic or other features, these Credit Committees decide to submit to its review.

 

Additionally, we have corporate bodies chaired by our CRO & CFO, which are also responsible for risk and capital management. These corporate bodies report directly to the Risk and Capital Management Committee or to the other committees mentioned above.

 

To support this framework, we count on the Risk and Finance Control and Management Area, composed of specialized officers subordinated to our CRO & CFO, aimed at ensuring, on an independent and centralized basis, that the risks faced by and the capital of the institution are managed in accordance with applicable policies and procedures.

 

Internal Audit

 

The Internal Audit area is subordinated, at the administrative level, to the Presidency of the Board of Directors of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. Its activities are supervised by the Audit Committee of Auditoria of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and monitored by the Superior Operational Risk Committee (CSRO).

 

 

 

  

The Internal Audit representation offices located in Foreign Units report, at a technical level, to the Audit Executive Office of Itaú Unibanco S.A., and its activities are supervised by the Audit Committee of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., as well as by local Audit Committees.

 

The Internal Audit area confirms its professional independence, on an annual basis, to the Presidency of the Board of Directors.

 

Any actual or apparent impediments to the independence or objectivity are reported to the Presidency of the Board of Directors and to the Audit Committee. The internal audit activities carried out and the use of the name "internal audit" in the Conglomerate are exclusive to the Audit Executive Board of Itaú Unibanco. The Internal Audit area’s purpose is to evaluate the activities carried out by the Conglomerate, through audit techniques, thus enabling Management to assess the adequacy of controls, effectiveness of risk management, reliability of financial statements and compliance with rules and regulations.

 

The Internal Audit area has an agenda to report to the Governance, which includes meetings with the Audit Committee, Executive Committee, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors.

 

Internal Controls

 

The management of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls related to the company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The internal control related to the financial statements is a process developed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of accounting information and the preparation of the financial statements disclosed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls related to the financial statements include policies and procedures that (i) are related to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, reflect accurately and properly the transactions and write-offs of the company's assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil (BRGAAP), and that the company's receipts and payments are only being made in accordance with the authorization of the company's management and officers; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or allocation of the company’s assets, which could have a significant effect on the financial statements.

 

Due to their inherent limits, the internal controls related to the financial statements may not be able to avoid or detect errors. Therefore, even these controls, which had been designed to be effective, may be proven unable to prevent or detect errors. Likewise, projections of any evaluation on their effectiveness for future periods may be subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or deterioration may occur in the level of conformity with practices or procedures.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls related to the financial statements at December 31, 2015, and adopted the criteria defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control ("COSO") – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation and criteria, Management concluded that the internal controls related to the financial statements are effective with respect to December 31, 2015.

 

c) the adequacy of operating structure and internal controls to verify the effectiveness of the policy adopted

 

The integrated management of operational risk, internal controls and compliance is in conformity with the internal policy approved by the Board of Directors, and is structured in three lines of defense:

 

·1st line: represented by the business and risk control areas, it is responsible for identifying, measuring, assessing, and managing operational risk events, as well as keeping an effective control environment (including the compliance with internal and external rules).

 

 

 

  

·2nd line: represented by the independent internal controls/ validation area, it is responsible, among others, for disclosing and ensuring the application of decisions, policies and strategies with respect to operational risk management, as well as validating policies and processes on an independent basis.
·3rd line: represented by the Internal Audit Area, it is responsible, among others, for verifying, on an independent and periodic basis, the adequacy of processes and procedures for risk identification and management.

 

The activities of the 2nd line of defense is carried out by the Internal Controls, Compliance and Operational Risk Executive Board (DCIC), which, as it is segregated from the business and risk control areas, ensures its independence.

 

The 2nd line of defense carries out the validation of processes focused on identifying, measuring, assessing, monitoring and responding to the organization’s operational risks, thus ensuring that any losses and risks are kept within the limits established by the institution.

 

Credit Risk

 

The validation by Executive Office of Operational Risk and Compliance (DEROC) of the credit risk is supported by risk and control assessments carried out by internal control officials, as well as by the credit model validation, which are conducted by the Technical Model Validation area. Assessments are conducted over the year through risk mapping and compliance testing of the main processes with exposure to credit risk. Any weaknesses identified are recorded and forwarded to the areas in charge of the action plan for due correction.

 

The findings of the assessments show that the control environment for credit risk is adequate since there are credit risk management processes in place, credit strategies and policies adhere to risk appetite guidelines, defined authority levels are observed, and the timely monitoring of the quality of the loan portfolios are carried out.

 

Operational risk

 

The Integrated Management Model of Internal Controls, Compliance and Operational Risk aims at identifying, prioritizing and managing any possible operational risks, monitoring and reporting management activities with the purpose of ensuring the quality of the control environment for operational risk.

 

The monitoring of the operational risk management is carried out through:

 

·control environment assessments conducted by the Internal Controls, Compliance and Operational Risk area;
·the dissemination of the risk management culture;
·the attendance and evaluation of forums for management of risks of each executive area;
·the monitoring of operational risk indicators and the adherence to regulations.

 

The findings of these analyses corroborate our conclusion that we have an adequate operational risk control environment.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The independent validation of the processes and controls used along the Liquidity Risk chain is carried out annually by the DEROC, 2nd line of defense, through the process mapping and testing of any existing key controls, which allow for an independent challenge. The findings of these analyses corroborate our conclusion that we have an adequate liquidity risk control environment.

 

 

 

  

l5.2. In relation to the market risks indicated in item 4.2, inform:

 

The risk management strategy of Itaú Unibanco is aimed at balancing corporate business goals, taking into account, among other things:

 

·political, economic and market scenarios;
·the market risk profile of the portfolio of Itaú Unibanco; and
·the expertise to support operations in specific markets.

 

The Issuer’s risk management seeks the best corporate governance practices recommended by international bodies and the Basel Accord.

 

The institutional market risk management policy is a set of principles contained in the CMN regulations, and applicable to all Itaú Unibanco’s business units and legal entities.

 

a) whether the issuer has a formal market risk management policy, informing, if so, the approving body and the approval date, and, if not, the reasons why the issuer has not adopted such a policy

 

Our institutional market risk management policy is a set of principles contained in the CMN regulations, and applicable to all business units and legal entities of the Itaú Unibanco Group.

Our risk management strategy seeks to balance corporate business goals, taking into account, among others:

 

·political, economic and market scenarios;
·the market risk profile of the portfolio; and
·the expertise to support operations in specific markets.

 

Our market risk management process is subject to the governance and hierarchy of committees, with specific limits assigned to different portfolios and levels (such as Banking Portfolio, Trading Portfolio, Equities Desk), as well as some types of market risk (such as interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk). Daily risk reports, used by the business and control areas, are also sent to senior management. In addition, our market risk management and control process is subject to periodic reviews. Our market risk control framework is responsible for:

 

·providing visibility and assurance for all senior management levels that market risks assumed are in line with our risk-return objectives;
·promoting a disciplined and informed dialogue about the overall market risk profile and its evolution over time;
·increasing transparency as to how the business seeks to optimize results;
·providing early warning mechanisms to facilitate effective risk management, without obstructing the business objectives; and
·monitoring and preventing risk concentration.

 

The market risk is controlled by an area independent from the business units, and is responsible for performing the daily activities of: (i) risk measurement and assessment; (ii) monitoring stress scenarios, limits and alerts; (iii) application of stress scenarios, and related analysis and tests; (iv) reporting risk findings to responsible individuals within the relevant business unit in accordance with our governance requirements; (v) monitoring any necessary actions to readjust positions and/or levels of risk to make them viable; and (vi) providing support for the launch of new financial products. To this end, we have a structured communication and information flow process that provides information to our Superior Committees and monitors compliance with the requirements of Brazilian and foreign regulatory agencies.

 

Our structure of limits and alerts follows the guidelines of the Board of Directors and is approved by the Superior Market and Liquidity Risk Committee (CSRML) or proper authority level, which meets at least once a month. This structure of limits and alerts promotes control effectiveness and coverage and is reviewed at least annually. The framework of limits and alerts ranges from monitoring aggregated risk indicators (portfolio levels) to granular limits (individual desk levels), among others. The structure of market risk limits extends to the risk factor level, with specific limits aimed to

 

 

 

  

improve the monitoring and understanding of the risk as well as to avoid risk concentration. These limits are determined based on projected balance sheet results, stockholders’ equity, liquidity, market complexity and volatility, and our risk appetite. The process of setting these limit levels and breach reporting follows the procedures approved by our financial conglomerate´s institutional policies. Our information flow aims at providing information for all our executive levels, including the Board of Directors members through the CGRC, which meets once a month. Risk limits are monitored daily and any excess and potential breaches of limits are reported and discussed at the proper authority levels:

 

·Within one business day, to the management of the relevant business units and to the risk control area and the business unit executives; and
·Within a month, to the Superior Market and Liquidity Risk Committee (CSRML) whenever this is the proper authority level.

 

The market risk management is governed by the internal policies below, approved by the respective proper bodies: The Risk and Finance Policies Committee (CNRF) for policies with GR reference code, and the Board of Directors for policies with HF reference code.

b) the objectives and strategies of the market risk management policy, if any, including:

 

i.market risks that are intended to be hedged

 

Hedges are mainly used against risks posed by fluctuations in interest, inflation and foreign exchange rates.

 

ii.equity hedging strategy

 

The hedging strategy is aimed at adjusting income from foreign exchange variation after taxes on foreign investments (accounting basis) and its hedges. An economic hedge is composed of positions aimed at hedging income from foreign exchange variation on foreign investments. Economic hedges may be traded on stock or over-the-counter markets and through foreign currency liabilities.

 

The market risk management is aimed at mapping and controlling the risk of mismatches. The Market and Liquidity Risk Control Executive Board is responsible for mapping, calculating and informing market risks and mismatching of terms, currencies and indexes, as well as the use of limits approved by proper committees or authorities.

 

 

 

  

Treasury conducts hedging transactions to mitigate and manage risks of mismatches, complying with the limits of exposure and risks approved by proper committees or authorities. For management of these risks, the information provided and economic data are analyzed for hedging purposes.

 

The so-called hedge accounting derivatives are monitored in accordance with their effectiveness and accounting impact.

 

iii.instruments used for equity hedging purposes

 

When necessary, the Issuer operates in the market with derivative financial instruments.

The Bank uses a number of financial instruments for risk management, including securities and derivatives traded on over-the-counter or stock exchanges. Derivatives mainly include:

 

·interest rate and foreign currency futures contracts
·Non-Deliverable Forward (NDF)
·interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts
·Options

 

Transactions with derivative financial instruments are classified based on their characteristics, risk management or cash flow hedging.

 

iv.parameters used for managing these risks

 

Risk parameters used by the Issuer include market risk measures, such as:

 

• Value at Risk (VaR): a statistical metric that quantifies potential economic losses in normal market conditions, considering a defined holding period and confidence level;

• Losses in Stress Scenarios (Stress Testing): a simulation technique to evaluate the impact on assets, liabilities and derivatives portfolios of various risk factors in extreme market situations (based on prospective and historical scenarios);

• Stop Loss: a mechanism that triggers a management review of positions, if accumulated losses in a given period reach specified levels;

• Concentration: cumulative exposure of certain financial instruments or risk factors calculated at market value (MtM – Mark to Market); and

• Stressed VaR: a statistical measure derived from VaR calculation, aimed at capturing the largest risk in simulations of the current portfolio, taking into account observable returns in historical extreme volatility scenarios.

 

Additionally, sensitivity and loss control measures are also analyzed. These include:

 

• Gap Analysis: accumulated exposure of cash flows by risk factor, marked-to-market and allocated on settlement dates;

• Sensitivity (DV01 – Delta Variation): impact on the market value of cash flows when a one basis point change is applied to current interest rates or index rates; and Sensitivities to Various Risk Factors (Greek) - partial derivatives of a portfolio of options in connection with the prices of underlying assets, implied volatilities, interest rates and time.

 

Itaú Unibanco manages its exposure based on the net of hedging and hedging objects. The controls that use net exposure limits are applied in accordance with the risk appetite determined by the bank.

 

v.if the issuer operates financial instruments with goals diverse from equity hedging and what are these goals

 

 

 

  

The Issuer hedges transactions with clients and proprietary positions to take advantage of market opportunities, seeking to mitigate risks arising from fluctuations in prices of market risk factors and mismatches, and maintaining the classification of operations within exposure limits in effect approved by proper committees/authorities.

 

Derivative instruments are used for these hedging activities and treasury proprietary transactions. For situations in which these are hedge accounting transactions, both hedge effectiveness and any accounting impacts are monitored. Accounting and economic hedging procedures are governed by institutional policies.

Information about the Audit Committee, Internal Audit and Internal Control areas are described 5.1b item.

 

c) The adequacy of operating structure and internal controls to verify the effectiveness of the policy adopted

 

The integrated management of operational risk, internal controls and compliance is structured in three lines of defense:

 

·1st line: represented by the business and back office areas, it is responsible for identifying, measuring, assessing, and managing operational risk events, as well as keeping an effective control environment (including compliance with internal and external rules).
·2nd line: represented by the independent internal controls/validation area, it is responsible for, among others, disclosing and ensuring the application of decisions, policies and strategies for operational risk management, and validating policies and processes on an independent basis.
·3rd line: represented by the Internal Audit Area, it is responsible for, among others, verifying, on an independent periodic basis, the adequacy of processes and procedures for risk identification and management.

 

The 2nd line defense activities are carried out by the Internal Controls, Compliance and Operational Risk area, which is segregated from the business and back office areas, ensuring its independence.

 

The 2nd line of defense validates the process focused on identifying, measuring, assessing, monitoring and responding to the organization’s operational risks, thus ensuring that any losses and risks are within the limits established by the institution.

 

Independent Validation Process

 

The validation methodology for credit and market risk models, included in a specific internal policy, comprises the stages below:

 

·Checking the explanatory variable development and performance evaluation;
·Conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses of models, including the replicability of codes available and model performance;
·Comparing the proposed model with benchmarks, if applicable ; and
·Conducting a historical backtesting of the model, checking its adherence to current data.

 

The validation area also assesses the classification of the models scope proposed by the modeling area, which is used for prioritizing validations.

 

Both the independent validation area activities and the process validations are assessed by the Internal Audit and submitted to specific committees composed of senior management members: Compliance and Operational Risk Committee (CCRO), and the Model Assessment Technical Committee (CTAM). Any opportunities for improvement found over the independent validation process are reviewed by the audit area and addressed by action plans.

 

The internal control structure and the independent validation activity are compatible with the business model, complexity of the institution's products, services, systems and processes, guaranteeing an adequate degree of confidence in the efficiency and effectiveness of the resources, financial information, models used by the Management and compliance with established laws and regulations.

 

5.3. With respect to the controls adopted by the issuer to ensure the preparation of reliable financial statements, indicate:

 

 

 

 

a) The main internal control practices and the efficiency level of such controls, indicating any imperfections and measures adopted to correct them.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls related to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The internal control related to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of accounting information and the preparation of the financial statements disclosed in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices applicable to financial institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil. The internal controls related to the financial statements include policies and procedures that: (i) are related to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, reflect accurately and properly the transactions and write-offs of the Company's assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as required to enable the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Brazilian accounting practices applicable to financial institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, and that the Company only makes receipts and payments as authorized by the Company's management and officers; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or allocation of the Company’s assets that could significantly affect our financial statements.

 

Due to their inherent limits, the internal controls related to financial statements might not be able to prevent or detect errors. Therefore, even systems determined to be effective may only provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. Projections of any assessment of their effectiveness for future periods are likewise exposed to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or that the level of conformity with practices or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of internal controls related to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2016 in accordance with the criteria defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control (“COSO”) – Integrated Framework (2013). The management’s assessment includes the documentation, assessment and testing the design and effectiveness of internal controls related to financial statements. Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that the internal controls related to the consolidated financial statements are effective with respect to December 31, 2016.

 

b) The organizational structures involved

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding’s internal controls and management framework is in conformity with the definitions established by the international bodies Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013) (COSO - Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) - Integrated Framework), and Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT)). It also adheres to the recommendations suggested by the Basel Committee and the provisions of domestic and foreign regulatory bodies, and is in line with the institutional policy (HF-19 – Integrated Management of Operational Risk, Internal Controls and Compliance), as a primary means to operate its Operational Risk, Internal Controls and Compliance management framework and ensure compliance with defined guidelines through an integrated approach.

 

In this framework:

 

·The Internal Controls, Operational Risks and Compliance Executive Board (DCIC) is, in principle, independent to exercise its duties, and has direct communication with any management member or employee and access to any information required within the scope of its responsibilities and unrestricted access to Senior Management to report situations that might generate risk to the Conglomerate. The DCIC is barred from carrying out the management of any Conglomerate’s business as a way to ensure such independence.
·The Executive Finance Board (DEF) is responsible for guiding the compliance of accounting practices with the standards defined by regulatory bodies and accounting practices adopted in Brazil and abroad; preparing and reviewing internal circulars related to accounting policies and practices; consulting regulatory bodies for accounting matters; preparing, disclosing and reviewing Itaú Unibanco’s Financial Statements; coordinating the engagement work with external auditors; forwarding documents and accounting reports, and complying with any requirements and requests made by regulatory bodies. The financial statements are approved

 

 

 

  

by the Superior Balance Sheet Closing Committee and the Audit Committee, as well as by the Fiscal Council and Board of Directors.

 

·The Executive Operations and Payments Board (DOP) is responsible for determining parameters for accounting processes, carrying out bookkeeping and reconciliation, and monitoring book accounts. This area is responsible for managing operational risk events and controls over its own processes, reporting and following up the regularization of any related event.

 

c) Whether and how the efficiency of internal controls is overseen by the issuer’s management, indicating the position of the people responsible for such monitoring

 

To ensure that the risk management process is disclosed and reported to the institution’s senior management, together with the respective status of action plans, the Internal Controls, Operational Risks and Compliance Executive Board is an integral part of the Superior Operational Risk Committee, with the presence of the institution’s CEO, Director-Generals and Vice-Presidents.

 

d) Deficiencies in and recommendations on the internal controls included in the detailed report prepared and forwarded to the issuer by the independent auditor, pursuant to the CVM regulation addressing the registration and exercising of the independent audit activity

 

We did not note any deficiencies in internal controls related to the financial statements in the independent auditor’s report.

 

However, we should emphasize that action plans for other deficiencies and recommendations indicated by the independent auditor are monitored on a monthly basis and reported to senior management by multidisciplinary committees, with the presence of representatives of the Internal Audit and Internal Controls.

 

Additionally, the findings of this monitoring are periodically reported to the Company’s Executive Committee and the Audit Committee.

 

e) Officers’ comments on the deficiencies stated in the detailed report prepared by the independent auditor and on any corrective measures adopted

 

We did not note any significant deficiencies in internal controls in the independent auditor’s report.

 

5.4. State whether, in the previous year, there were significant changes in the main risks to which the issuer is exposed or in the risk management policy adopted, and comment on any expected increase or decrease in the issuer’s exposure to such risks

 

Credit Risk

 

Our business diversification reflects the change in the composition of our loan portfolio in recent years, focusing on the origination of lower-risk products and with more linked guarantees, and the internationalization of the bank operations. We believe that we can already see signs of a slow recovery of the economy that in a way will boost credit demand.

 

Market Risk

 

Aiming at the ongoing improvement of Itaú Unibanco’s market risk management, over 2016 we fully consolidated Itau Corpbanca’s market risk in the Holding Company’s processes, ensuring that the models, processes and controls are standardized and centralized. Additionally, we migrated the market risk capital approach from the standard model trading portfolio (Central Bank) to the internal model for Brazil Treasury portfolios. With respect to risk appetite, in 2016 the Level 0 Limits framework, which considers the potential accounting impact of the Bank’s consolidated positions and

 

 

 

  

was incorporated into the risk appetite statement approved by the Board of Directors, was included. This measure consists of a global market risk limit that includes potential loss in stress scenarios from the Profits and Losses, Equity and Economic viewpoints.

 

We expect the approval of the Central Bank of Brazil in 2017 to use internal models in external units with risk materiality in the trading portfolios.

 

Operational Risk

 

A new operational risk associated to cards was prioritized by the institution in 2016. The risk associated with treatment of civil lawsuits and labor claims was split into two, totaling 26 prioritized risks, duly monitored and reported in forum and corporate bodies. Regarding the control environment, the risks associated with clients’ registration and with operational flaws in the collection process decreased.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The LCR index calculation and control were improved in the reported period. This index is now systematically calculated on a daily basis to ensure compliance with Circular Letter No. 3,812, which defines a new completion for submitting the Document code 2160 – Liquidity Risk Statement (DRL).

 

5.5. Supply other information that the issuer may deem relevant

 

To strengthen our values and adjust our employees’ behavior to risk management guidelines, we count on a number of initiatives to encourage a risk awareness culture. In addition to policies, procedures and processes, the risk culture strengthens employees’ individual and collective responsibilities for managing risks inherent in activities carried out individually, abiding by the ethical way to manage business.

 

We promote risk culture by highlighting behaviors that will help assuming and managing risks on a conscious way throughout the levels of the institution. The principles of the risk culture are the conscious risk taking, the discussion about and initiatives taken with respect to the institution’s risks and everyone’s responsibility for risk management.

 

By transmitting these principles throughout the institution, we encourage risk awareness, its open discussion, and the fact that they should be kept within the levels established by the institution’s risk appetite, being understood as the individual responsibility of our employees, irrespective of position, area or function.

 

The Issuer’s market risk management process is carried out within the governance and hierarchy of corporate bodies and a framework of limits and alerts specifically approved for this end, raising awareness of different levels and types of market risk (such as interest rate and foreign exchange variation risks). Daily risk reports used by the business and control areas are also forwarded to senior management. Additionally, the market risk management and control process is subject to periodic reviews to be consistent with the best market practices and in compliance with the institution’s ongoing improvement processes.

 

The framework of limits and alerts range from mapping aggregated risk indicators (portfolio levels) to granular limits (individual desk levels). The structure of market risk limits extends to the risk factor level, with specific limits to improve the risk monitoring and understanding process and to avoid risk concentration. These limits are designed based on projections of future balance sheet results, stockholders’ equity, liquidity, market complexity and volatility, and our risk appetite.

6.3. Brief History of the issuer

 

General

 

Our legal name is Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. We were incorporated on September 9, 1943. We are organized as a publicly-held corporation for an unlimited period of time under the laws of Brazil. Our head offices are located at Praça Alfredo Egydio de Souza Aranha, 100, CEP 04344-902, São Paulo, SP, Brazil and our telephone number is +55-11-2794-3547. Our CNPJ/MF No. 60.872.504/0001-23 is registered at the Board of Trade of the State of São Paulo under NIRE No. 35300010230. Our social purpose, as established by Article 2 of our Bylaws is to undertake the banking activity in all authorized forms, including foreign exchange operations.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

  

Our history begins back in 1924, when Casa Moreira Salles, founded by João Moreira Salles in Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, received the letter patent issued by the Brazilian Government, which allowed it to operate as a banking section, i.e., as a correspondent of the state mainstream banks. This entity eventually became Unibanco.

 

On the other hand, Itaú was established about two decades later, in 1945, when Alfredo Egydio de Souza Aranha, a businessman in the textile industry, and his partner Aloysio Ramalho Foz founded Banco Central de Crédito S.A., which was located in downtown São Paulo.

 

Gradually João Moreira Salles passed the management of Casa Moreira Salles to his son Walther Moreira Salles, who took over in 1933 while he was still a law student. In 1959, Alfredo Egydio transferred the management to his nephew Olavo Setubal, who counted on the support of the founder's son-in-law, Eudoro Villela, in this new venture.

 

During their separate histories, Itaú and Unibanco exhibited a number of common attributes such as their concern for ethics and transparency in doing business, adherence to the law and appreciation of their employees. The two organizations also shared the same close relationship with their clients by understanding their needs and their economic circumstances, thereby allowing the institutions to support businesses expansion by means of innovative services.

 

Pioneering in the dissemination of the use of technology to process banking transactions and services offered to clients, the two institutions made heavy investments in automation and support of modern operational centers. Moreover, the expansion on the basis of mergers, acquisitions and incorporations is another constant characteristic of the evolution of both banks.

 

Another element common to the two institutions was the support of arts and culture and the social and environmental responsibility that are manifested in Instituto Itaú Cultural and, in the social realm, in Fundação Itaú Social and Instituto Unibanco.

 

After nine decades of history, we continue to follow the principles and values of those who laid the foundations of what we are and, like them, we remain focused on the future to build a better world for future generations. For this reason, sustainability is a concept that permeates our organization and is widespread in our culture.

 

Today we are one of the largest banks in the world with international operations and deep roots in Latin America. Our commitment to Brazil leads us to serve as an agent of transformation of the society by working for great causes, such as culture, education, sports and urban mobility, continuously seeking the common good and contributing to the country's development.

 

6.5. Indicate whether there has been any petition for bankruptcy, provided that it was based on a significant amount, or for judicial or extrajudicial recovery from the issuer, and the current status of such petitions

 

Not applicable.

 

6.6. Other relevant information

 

None

 

 

 

  

ITEM 7. ACTIVITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

7.1. Briefly describe the activities carried out by the issuer and its subsidiaries

 

We are a holding company whose main activity is to hold ownership interests in the capital of financial institutions that, in turn, were incorporated for the purpose of developing all authorized types of banking activities, including foreign exchange operations. Additionally, we also hold investments in companies that carry out activities related to the insurance and capital markets.

 

Continue to improve efficiency

 

In 2010, we established an Efficiency Program aimed at identifying, implementing, and monitoring costs and revenues, in addition to promoting a strong culture of operational efficiency. In the years thereafter, we focused on increasing cost savings by reducing unnecessary costs, promoting the simplification and centralization of processes, promoting synergy gains and combining the management of certain business units.

 

In February 2015, we created the Technology and Operations executive area with the aim of optimizing our structure in order to sustain growth. This executive structure enabled us to organize our operations in a simpler and more efficient manner. We are committed to improve processes, to streamline operations and to be more efficient in everything we do with the clear purpose of client satisfaction.

 

Throughout 2015 and 2016, we increased the number of our digital branches in response to the profile of our customers, who express an increasing demand for services through digital channels. The clients of our digital branches can be in contact with their relationship managers from 7:00 am to midnight, from Monday to Friday through a variety of digital channels. This allows us to strengthen our relationship with clients and improve the efficiency and profitability of our operations.

 

In 2016, we launched the “Abreconta” app, which enabled, in the period of four months, the opening of approximately 60,000 new bank accounts exclusively through mobile channels.

 

Transform client experience through technology

 

Digital trends evolve on an exponential basis. Every day, new ways of doing business and using and exploring content emerge. At the same time, people are increasingly more open to experience the world in other ways by means of technology. We recognize that the needs of our clients are changing increasingly faster and we are attentive to technologies that have great potential to transform the three levels of clients’ relationship with the bank: experience (with new channels like mobile and internet banking), processing (big data and artificial intelligence) and infrastructure (the use of new platforms such as blockchain).We have been very active in the discussions on blockchain - the technology underlying digital and encrypted currencies – in the Latin American financial segment. We are convinced that this technology may provide solutions that bring more efficiency to our business and better experiences to our clients. In April 2016, we were the first Latin American company to enter into a partnership agreement with R3, the international innovation startup that brings together more than 70 of the largest financial institutions in the world to contribute to the international effort for the development and implementation of innovative solutions for the market based on shared ledger technologies, which are based on blockchain. We have been studying blockchain and analyzing how this technology can change the financial industry and its business models.

 

The manipulation, management and analysis of large volumes and varieties of data (Big Data) has been a reality for Itaú Unibanco for some time already. The bank has been improving its data processing and deepening its Data Lake, a massive repository of data capable of storing, processing and distributing with high performance, various types of information. We believe that the development of solutions that provide for integrated views of clients allows us to identify what they are going through in their lives and, for this reason, these solutions are essential for us to predict their needs and segment them in a more precise manner.

 

We also have new talented professionals among our employees. Data scientists, specialists in digital security and digital antifraud, people dedicated to studying and developing the client’s experience in digital channels have, in a collaborative way, joined our design,

 

 

 

  

customer relationship management, technology and business teams to continue to transform the bank.

 

The work of this team, in addition to improving the analysis of credit, risk, offer and fraud models, aims to provide mechanisms for the automation of processes and algorithms of our systems, products and channels. Therefore, the bank expects each time more to understand clients’ needs and offer them the right product at the right time.

 

Accordingly, Cubo Coworking Itaú has been an important ally because it allows us to be close and learn from the latest technologies and working models. In September 2016, Cubo completed one year of operation as an important technological entrepreneurship center in Brazil during this year, it promoted connections that were essential to leverage businesses, ideas and initiatives of a new generation of entrepreneurs and digital startups.

Our brand aims to promote positive changes in the lives of people and in society. We deliver products and services – focused on our clients’ needs – that reflect our continuous efforts to provide the best experience for everyone who interacts with us, every day. Our efforts to foster financial education permeate our entire organization and encourage people to have a more balanced relationship with their money by choosing the best type of credit and by planning their investments more efficiently. Our responsibility for the development of the nation is at the very heart of our brand, which is why, in addition to the transformation that is inherent in our core business, we also invest in projects related to education, culture, sports and urban mobility.

This is the 13th consecutive year in which we have been at the top of this ranking. The analysis is based on our brand’s ability to generate financial results, influence the client selection process and ensure long-term demand.

 

The #issomudaomundo (#thischangestheworld) platform, which guides our causes and our investments in various projects, continues to illustrate our institutional campaigns. This year, with the Leia para uma criança (Read to a child) campaign, we reached an impressive milestone: over 3 million books were offered, including braille books. This shows that we continue to mobilize clients and non-clients to make a difference in children’s lives.

 

Our capacity to inspire and engage people can also be seen on social media. We publish a series of articles and videos that express our point of view and tell stories that encourage people to implement positive changes in their lives. In 2016, we reached over 129 million views, which means we remain the largest Brazilian brand channel on YouTube and the largest in the world from the financial sector.

 

Social media is increasingly important to our strategy. This year, we achieved over 8 million fans on Facebook. We have the largest Facebook community of any bank in the world and one of the largest fan bases of any Brazilian brand, according to Socialbakers. Our Twitter profile has over 607 thousand followers, making us number one in the country’s financial sector. We also have approximately 169 thousand followers on Instagram.

2016 was a special year for Itaú. We reinforced our positioning as a digital bank by means of the Digitau platform, highlighting in our communication and advertising campaigns the new technological solutions Itaú Unibanco presents to the market, such as apps and digital branches.

Real Estate Financing and Mortgages

 

Our mortgage business is dedicated to:

·creating loyalty – the relationships established in this sector are typically long-term;
·contributing to the social and financial development of our clients; and
·being aligned with our strategy of investing in lower risk portfolios.

 

We have been leaders in mortgage loans to individuals among Brazilian private banks from 2008 to 2016, which reflects our focus on this business aligned with our strategy of migrating to lower risk portfolios.

 

We offer products through our network of branches and brokers, as well as through our partnership with RE/MAX and our joint venture with LPS Brasil Consultoria de Imóveis S.A. (Lopes), called “Credipronto”. These two long-term agreements provide us with exclusive real estate financing origination at a greater number of locations throughout Brazil.

 

One competitive advantage we have is the speed of our credit approval process and in the formalization of the relevant loan documentation. At December 31, 2016 the average time between finalizing a financing and our receipt of the requisite documentation was 10 workdays, which we believe is a significantly shorter time period than those of our competitors.

 

The number of mortgages we provided directly to individuals in 2016 was 27.3 thousand, for an aggregate value of R$8.2 billion in the period. The average Loan to Value (LTV) ratio of the portfolio in 2016 was 41.8%, compared to 43.7% in 2015. In commercial loans, we financed 8.1 thousand new real estate units during 2016, for an aggregate value of R$1.4 billion.

 

Since 2007, real estate and mortgage transactions in the Brazilian market have been carried out mainly through a system of mortgage liens (alienação fiduciária), pursuant to which the buyer becomes the owner of the property after all payments have been made, making it easier for the bank (lender) to recover the property in case of default. This system resulted in lower legal and credit risks compared to other types of guarantees.

 

Another positive feature of the Brazilian market is the constant amortization system pursuant to which decreasing installments provide faster amortization of a contract, reducing our loan-to-value indicator at a faster rate than other amortization systems.

Payroll Loans

 

A payroll loan is a loan with fixed installments that is directly deducted from the borrower’s payroll to the bank’s account without being recorded in the debtor’s account. Our strategy is to expand our activities in businesses with historically lower risk, achieving a leading position in the offering, distribution and sale of payroll loans in Brazil.

 

To expand this business and complement our strategy, on July 9, 2012 we entered into an association agreement with Banco BMG S.A. to offer, distribute and market payroll loans originated by that financial institution. Banco Itaú BMG Consignado, the entity used for purposes of this joint venture, began operations in December 2012 and is present throughout the Brazilian territory. This association was designed with the purpose of diversifying our loan portfolio, complementing our payroll loan strategy, and improving the risk profile of our portfolio of loans to individuals. Banco Itaú BMG Consignado also enables us to expand our business in the payroll loan sector in line with our values and transparency principles, following best management practices and policies.

 

In December 2016, after obtaining the required regulatory authorizations and meeting conditions precedent, we completed the acquisition of the total equity investment held by Banco BMG in Banco Itaú BMG Consignado. This investment corresponds to 40% of the capital of Banco Itaú BMG Consignado, meaning that we are now the holders of 100% of this institution’s total capital. This acquisition assured we kept the leadership among private banks in this segment.

 

Also, our strategy of higher growth in the National Social Security Institute (Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social, or INSS) beneficiaries sector, combined with certain credit policies we adopted, allowed our portfolio evolution to be followed by a decrease in delinquency levels.

Insurance Considering our 30% ownership interest in Porto Seguro S.A., we reached 9.9% of share in total insurance market based on earned premiums, from January to December, 2016, positioning us as the fourth largest insurance provider in Brazil. Considering only our insurance core activities, our market share in these specific markets reached 12.6% in the same period.

The Brazilian insurance market is highly competitive. Our main competitors in this sector, excluding health insurance providers, are affiliated with large commercial banks, such as Banco Bradesco S.A. and Banco do Brasil S. A.

 

Although there is a great concentration of Brazilian banks, this market is still dispersed, especially with players acting in specific niches. As of December 2016 this industry consisted of approximately 154 insurance companies of various sizes, including 39 conglomerates and 47 independent companies. We believe that our alliance with Porto Seguro S.A. resulted in gains in scale and efficiency for us.

It offers a wide range of products and services to the largest economic groups of Brazil.

 

Our activities in this business range from typical operations of a commercial bank to capital markets operations and advisory services for mergers and acquisitions. These activities are fully integrated, which enables us to achieve a performance tailored to our clients’ needs.

 

 

 

 

One of the most important features of our Wholesale Bank is the set of initiatives linked to improving efficiency in our operations. These ongoing actions, which are expected to continue to grow in the coming years, are designed to increase revenues, improve processes and reduce costs.

 

Investment Banking

 

Our investment banking business carried out through Itaú BBA, assists companies raising capital through fixed income and equity instruments in public and private capital markets, and provides advisory services in mergers and acquisitions. We advise companies, private equity funds and investors in the structuring of variable income products and in mergers and acquisitions. From research to execution, we believe we offer a wide portfolio of investment banking services with respect to Brazilian and other Latin American companies.

 

In investment banking, the fixed income department acts as bookrunner or manager in the issuance of debentures, promissory notes and securitization transactions.

Credit Cards and Commercial Agreements

 

Itaú Unibanco is the market leader in Brazilian credit cards. Through proprietary and partnership operations with major retailers, telephone carriers, automakers and airline companies established in Brazil, we offer a wide range of credit and debit cards to more than 55.0 million account holders and non-account holders (in number of accounts in December 2016).

 

We are focusing our efforts to continually grow our credit cards portfolio, improve its profitability, manage our asset quality and pursue satisfaction of our clients. Accordingly, our credit card division focuses on the development of new products, the assessment of our partnerships, and the control of the credit quality of our portfolio and on a more efficient cost management.

 

In 2012 we pioneered the launch of an alternative model in Brazil that made credit cheaper for our consumers by developing Itaucard 2.0, a similar model to the one used in the U.S. and European countries. Since its launch, we have issued more than 6.6 million cards under Itaucard 2.0.

 

In May 2016, we signed a partnership with Netshoes to develop the NCARD Itaucard, which is offered 100% digitally through the partner website. The sale process for the card was developed in partnership with Netshoes with instant customer evaluation technology and segmented product offering. In addition to a 100% digital experience with instant evaluation of card proposals, the process allows approved customers to immediately make their purchases on the site without having to wait for the plastic card, enabling them to take advantage of the benefits and discounts provided to cardholders.

 

 

 

 

In July 2016, we entered into an agreement with Multiplus, one of the largest companies in the rewards and loyalty programs, for the launch of a co-branded credit card, with the proposal being the best option for accumulating market points. In addition to the benefits offered by Multiplus, cardholders will also be able to use the traditional advantages of the Itaucard platform, such as payment of half the value of movie tickets, theater, shows and discounts at partner establishments.

 

Itaucard has made innovations in the way it interacts with its Facebook followers by using more informal language, even using references to classic "memes".

 

The Itaucard application has transformed the customer experience by constantly bringing new functionalities, such as the Virtual Card, that simplifies and offers more security for online shopping. Timeline is another feature of this application, which generates a virtual card for each purchase on the internet, in which purchases and transactions can be viewed in real time.

 

With regard to client service, we provide an application that can be used by our customers 24 hours a day. By December 2016 we had more than 5.7 million downloads of this application.

 

In 2016, maintaining the indicators of default and risk was a challenge for our credit card area in face of all the deterioration of the Brazilian economy and the high level of unemployment in Brazil.

 

We managed to evolve the default indicator above 90 days from 8.08% in December 2015 to 6.95% in December 2016. We adopted stricter criteria to collect from our clients impacted by the crisis. To continue to grow our portfolio, we also focused on maintaining partnerships with our high-income customers and retailers.

Merchant Acquirer

 

Rede (formerly Redecard) is one of the two largest multi-brand acquirers of credit, debit and benefit card transactions in Brazil.  Rede’s activities include merchant acquiring, capturing, transmission, processing and settlement of credit and debit card transactions, prepayment of receivables to merchants (resulting from sales made with credit cards), rental of POS terminals,

 

 

 

 

check verification through POS terminals, and the capturing and transmission of transactions using coupons, and loyalty programs. 

 

Our goal is to be the main partner for merchants that are seeking higher business potential with a focus on IT investments, infrastructure and POS modernization. For those partners, Rede offers a series of products that follow the market’s latest trends. Among these products we highlight Mobile Rede, which captures the transaction using a device attached to the smartphone or tablet. It allows card reading and input of purchase data for client’s signature, reinforcing our position in new payments solutions for freelancers and micro entrepreneurs. Through e-Rede we intensified and improved the quality of our electronic payments platform, offering not only the acquisition service, but also an antifraud gateway. We offer a single platform for efficient, fast and complete solutions for online payments using a robust antifraud system. We are continuously investing in merchant loyalty by focusing on retail and offering a wide product portfolio and innovative merchant acquirer and banking solutions. In September 2016, we launched Smart Rede, a new generation of smart terminals with an innovative design and an App Store that enables merchants to choose and download solutions that assist in controlling and managing businesses. In November 2016, we made Control Rede available to merchants, a reconciliation solution that facilitates financial control of the merchant's receivables.

 

In order to make banking as simple as possible for our clients, in 2016, we developed Rede Pay, our digital wallet solution, which brings to our online merchants the chance to increase their sales by accessing thousands of customers in a simple and safe way and Preço Único (One Price), a solution that simplifies billing for the merchants by charging a single fee that includes merchant discount rate and equipment rental (POS).

 

In 2016, we received R$387 billion in transactions with credit and debit cards, an increase of 1.1% compared to 2015. At December 31, 2016, Rede was present in almost all municipalities in Brazil having electric power and telecommunications networks and had 1.5 million installed POS terminals throughout Brazil. 

 

The following table sets forth the financial volume of transactions and the amount of transactions with credit and debit cards processed by us in 2016, 2015 and 2014:

Vehicle Financing

 

At December 31, 2016, our portfolio of vehicle financing to individuals amounted to R$15.4 billion, a 23.1 % decrease from the same period of the previous year. The average loan to value ratio of our vehicle portfolio (the ratio of a loan to the value of an asset purchased) was 68.1% on December 31, 2016, following a downward trend since the previous year, when the loan to value ratio reached 70.8% At December 31, 2015. Since 2012, we have reduced our risk exposure in this sector and focused on clients with better risk profiles, which has allowed us to improve the credit quality of our vehicle loan portfolio.

 

From January to December 2016, the average term of vehicle financing was 40 months, and half of the transactions were carried out with terms of up to 36 months.

 

We developed a series of new products and services that were launched in the market in 2016. Some of these products are:

 

Digital Platform – direct channel for origination, service and formalization of payments, bringing more agility and autonomy to the more than 10,000 participating stores and associated car dealers.

 

Customer Risk based pricing - an innovative solution in the Brazilian market that takes into account a customer's credit risk profile, as well as transaction data (term, entry and year of the vehicle) to offer lower interest rates to customers with low default risk.

 

Icarros - As one of the pillars of Itaú Unibanco's digitization strategy for searching for, selecting and financing the acquisition of new and used vehicles, iCarros, which has more than 15 million page views per month, has invested in process intelligence and automation to make customer experience even more complete and convenient. The portal uses new technology for credit simulation and pre-analysis, including presenting risk-adjusted financing rates to the customer. Currently 15% of our vehicle financing is initiated through this portal.

Consortium

 

A consortium is a self-financing system created in Brazil with a view to fostering savings for the purchase of vehicles and other assets, such as real estate. Pursuant to consortium agreements, participants are pooled according to the specific asset they elect to purchase (such as a vehicle of a particular manufacturer and model), which will be paid for in installments. Payments made by the participants of a given consortium are used to create a “pool” of funds, which are used by one or more members of the consortium at a time to acquire the assets elected by the participants, e.g., once a month, and such members continue to make payments as scheduled. Generally, participants may receive the asset, (i) during the course of the

 

 

 

 

consortium agreement (before all installments are paid), if the participant pays an amount (in addition to the regularly scheduled installment due) that is higher than such an additional amount offered by any other consortium member for that period, or (ii) during the course of the consortium agreement (before all installments are paid), if the participant is selected by random drawing, organized by the bank, to receive the asset, while continuing to pay for the remaining installments as scheduled.

 

As consortia are regarded as a provision of services under Brazilian law, the management of consortia does not give rise to default risk or regulatory capital requirements for us.

 

Since consortia do not charge interest rates, our revenues come mainly from the administration fee charged to clients.

 

Given these characteristics, this business is strategic to us, contributing to revenue diversification and to a more complete product portfolio offering to our clients. As of December 2016, we reached the following results:

 

•    395.5 thousand in active contracts, decreasing 4.7% compared to December 2015;

 

•    R$10.7 billion in balance of installments receivables, decreasing 8.9% compared to December 2015; and

 

•    R$675.0 million in administration fees from January to December 2016, decreasing 1.3% compared to the same period of 2015.

Microcredit

 

Our microcredit unit offers to low-income entrepreneurs who do not have the necessary attributes to participate in the traditional financial system the chance to expand and develop their businesses. Itaú Microcrédito’s loan officers solicit new and existing clients, offering loans (coupled with free loan-protection microinsurance), point of sale, or POS machines. Loan officers are also responsible for disseminating information regarding financial concepts related to the responsible use of money.

 

A major benefit arising from this initiative is that micro-entrepreneurs start to develop a relationship with the formal financial system. Our microcredit activities are split into two levels:

 

·1st Tier Lending: includes working capital loans, or loans for upgrades and fixed assets provided to formal and informal business people engaged in small business activities. Any granting of loans requires the presence of a trained microcredit loan officer; and
·2nd Tier Lending: loans to micro-entrepreneurs through partner civil society organizations registered with the National Productive Microcredit Program. We

 

 

 

 

are committed to promoting microfinance best practices and trading experiences with partner organizations.

 

Our investment in microcredit is part of our strategy to act as an agent of transformation in society. Microcredit is also important as it reinforces our vision of sustainability and increases our ability to spread our knowledge in financial education. The end goal is to create a virtuous cycle in which our bank stimulates the social and economic development of Brazil’s low-income population.

Latin America

 

Latin America is a priority in our international expansion strategy due to the geographic and cultural proximity to Brazil. Our purpose is to be recognized as the “Latin American Bank”, becoming a reference in the region for all financial services provided to individuals and companies.

 

Over the past years, we consolidated our presence in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, with a principal focus on commercial banking and, with the recent merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca, which strengthened our presence in Colombia and Panama, we further expanded even more our operations in the region. In Peru, we operate in the corporate segment through a representative office.

 

At December 31, 2016 we had a network of 549 branches and client service branches (CSBs) in Latin America (excluding-Brazil). In Paraguay, we had 50 non-bank correspondent locations, which are points of service with a simplified structure, strategically located in supermarkets to provide services to our clients in that country. At December 31, 2016, we also had 35 points of service through OCA S.A., our credit card operator in Uruguay.

 

 

 

 

Banco Itaú Argentina

 

We have operated since 1979 in Argentina, where we began with a focus on large companies with business ties to Brazil. In 1994, we initiated our retail operations in Buenos Aires. In 1998, we increased our presence through the acquisition of Buen Ayre Bank, subsequently renamed Banco Itaú Argentina.

 

Through Banco Itaú Argentina we offer products and services in corporate banking, small and middle-market companies and retail banking. Our corporate banking business focuses on large and institutional clients, providing lending, structured finance, investment and cash management services. Our small and middle-market operations provide credit for working capital and investments in production capacity increases. Our retail banking business focuses on middle and upper-income clients, and our services offerings include current and savings accounts, personal loans and credit cards.

Itaú CorpBanca

 

In 2015, the last pending regulatory approval required for the merger of Itaú Chile with and into CorpBanca was granted by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, or SBIF (Superintendencia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras), in Chile. This completed the set of regulatory approvals we required to consummate the merger in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Panama.

 

The merger was consummated on April 1, 2016 and, we acquired control of the resulting bank (Itaú CorpBanca). Since the second quarter of 2016, Itaú CorpBanca’s financial results are consolidated with our results. We expect the technological and operational integration of the banks to be completed at the end of 2017 and synergies to become more evident in 2018.

 

In October 2016, we acquired from Corp Group 10.9 billion additional shares of Itaú CorpBanca for approximately R$288.1 million, pursuant to the terms of the shareholders’ agreement we entered into on the merger date. As a result, our interest in Itaú CorpBanca increased from 33.58% to 35.71%, without changing the governance of Itaú CorpBanca.

 

In January 2017, the agreement which sets out the terms and conditions of the merger was amended to reflect, among other things, changes to the terms of the transaction relating to operations in Colombia.

 

This operation represents an important step in our strategy to expand our presence in Latin America, diversifying our operations in the region. We now rank fourth, from a previous seventh place, among the largest private banks in Chile in terms of loans and we have entered the financial retail market in Colombia through Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A., the fifth largest bank in terms of loans, which will also operate under the Itaú brand. We now also operate in Panama.

Our operations in Paraguay began in 1978 and comprise retail and wholesale banking, through Interbanco, which was acquired in 1995 by Unibanco.

Banco Itaú Paraguay distributes products and services to small and middle market companies, agribusiness, large companies, institutional clients and consumer clients. Banco Itaú Paraguay’s main sources of income are consumer banking products, primarily credit cards. The retail segment also focuses on payroll clients. Under corporate banking, Banco Itaú Paraguay has a well-established presence in the agribusiness sector.

Itau BBA International

 

Our banking activities carried out under the corporate structure of Itau BBA International are mainly focused on two business lines:

 

• Corporate and Investment Banking: headquartered in the United Kingdom, but with business platforms in several cities in Europe, we meet the financial needs of companies with international presence and operations, focusing on transactions related to financing and investment relationships between companies in Latin America and Europe. The services offered include the origination of structured financing, hedging, trade financing and advisory to both European companies investing in Latin America and Latin American companies investing overseas.

• Private Banking: under the corporate structure of Itau BBA International, we manage private banking activities in Miami and Switzerland, offering specialized financial products and services to high net worth Latin American clients.

 

Other International Operations

 

To support our clients in cross-border financial transactions and services, our international units are active in providing our clients with a variety of financial products, such as trade financing, loans from multilateral credit agencies, offshore loans, international cash management services, foreign exchange, letters of credit, guarantees required in international bidding processes, derivatives for hedging or proprietary trading purposes, structured transactions and international capital markets offerings. These services are offered mainly through our branches in the Bahamas, New York and the Cayman Islands, and through our other international operations.

 

We manage proprietary portfolios and raise funds through the issuance of securities in the international market. Fund raising through the issuance of securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and trade notes can be conducted by our branches located in the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas and New York, as well as through Itaú Bank Ltd., a banking subsidiary incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Our proprietary portfolios are mainly held by Itaú Bank and our Nassau and Cayman Islands branches. These offices also enhance our ability to manage our international liquidity.

 

Through our international operations, we establish and monitor trade-related lines of credit from foreign banks, maintain correspondent banking relationships with money centers and regional banks throughout the world and oversee our other foreign currency-raising activities.

 

Competitive strengths

 

We believe the following strengths provide us with significant competitive advantages and distinguish us from our competitors.

 

 

 

 

Premier banking brand in Brazil

 

We believe that our brands are very strong and very well recognized in Brazil and that they have been associated with quality, reliability, and with our large portfolio of products, which help us maintain a low client turnover rate, especially among clients in the high-income segment. In 2016, we reinforced our positioning as a digital bank combining innovative technology with our vision of making people’s daily lives easier through increasingly simpler financial transactions. Also in 2016, our brand was elected by consulting firm Interbrand as “the most valuable brand” in Brazil for the 13th consecutive time.

 

Large branch network in geographic areas with high economic activities

 

Our Brazilian branch network, while national in scope, is strategically concentrated in the Southeast region of Brazil, which is the most developed and industrialized region in Brazil. Our branch network in other Latin American countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Panama, Peru and Uruguay) is also positioned in regions with high levels of economic activity. Having our branch network in key economic areas gives us a strong presence and a competitive advantage to offer our services to a broad range of clients and benefit from selective market opportunities. Our exclusive ATM network allows us to offer a wide range of products and services to our clients, which we see as one of our competitive strengths.

 

Additionally, we have refurbished branches, especially in shopping malls. These branches have a new visual identity and service proposition, offering a new concept of client service and a differentiated layout inspired by the design of a retail store. Shopping mall branches have extended hours, which offers added convenience for our clients. We have an extensive network, including branches, client site branches and ATMs in Brazil and abroad.

 

Diversified line of products and services

 

We are a multi-service bank offering a diverse line of products and services designed to address the needs of various types of clients, including corporate clients, very small and small companies, retail clients, high-income individuals, private bank clients, non-accountholders and credit card users. We believe that this business model creates opportunities to improve our relationship with clients and thereby increases our market share and our fee-based income. We expect to maintain our leading presence by capturing a solid and increasing number of transactions across various business segments.

 

Technology and electronic distribution channels as drivers for sales

 

Our intensive use of technology and electronic distribution channels, which has contributed significantly to an increase in sales of products and services, is one of our most important competitive advantages. We invest in technology because we believe that it is how we will be able to improve the environment for our employees and clients. We focus our efforts on the development of platforms and services that use the best technology, with the purpose of streamlining and making easier the lives of everybody who relate with the bank, with a focus on mobility and convenience.

 

Our technology supports certain remote banking capabilities (such as call centers, mobile applications and internet banking) and offers clients the ability to buy services, verify statements and perform transactions online or over the telephone. In addition, our sales teams can access client credit scores with ease and credit proposals can be sent over the internet by any broker registered with our systems.

 

Through our digital branches we expanded our client relationship model offering personalized customer services from 7 a.m. to midnight, from Monday through Friday allowing our clients to manage their accounts remotely, simplifying their lives and making us more efficient. In December 2016, we had 135 digital branches, compared to 94 in 2015, an increase that is a result of good acceptance from our users. We are also investing in other digital means of communication such as Itaú Pagcontas, Itaú Tokpag, Itaucard and Itaú Empresas applications. In 2016, we developed Itaú Abreconta, an app which offers to clients the possibility to open new bank accounts from their mobile phones. Additionally, in 2015, we concluded our new data center built in the State of São Paulo, which is one of the largest in Latin America, had

 

 

 

 

its construction concluded as planned and the configurations of the environmental infrastructure were successfully established. The new data center will support our growth up to 2050, ensuring high performance and availability of our operations.

Activities

 

Segment information is based on reports used by senior management to assess the financial performance of our business and make decisions on the allocation of funds for investment and other purposes. The segment information was prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil (BRGAAP) but includes the following pro forma adjustments: (i) the recognition of the impact related to the allocation of capital by means of a proprietary model; (ii) the use of financing and cost of capital, in accordance with market prices, based on some management criteria; (iii) the exclusion of non-recurring events from our results; and (iv) the reclassification of the tax effects of hedging transactions carried out for our investments abroad.

Distribution Channels

 

We provide integrated financial services and products to our clients through a variety of distribution channels. In addition to our traditional portfolio of banking products, we offer products such as insurance, investments, foreign exchange and brokerage. Our portfolio of corporate products suitable for large companies is managed by our wholesale banking segment. Our distribution network is divided into standard channels, which include branches, Customer Site Branches - CBSs (banking service centers located at certain corporate clients), Automatic Teller Machines - ATMs, and telephones; and digital channels: internet, mobile and SMS banking. The volume of banking transactions carried out through internet and mobile channels has grown significantly in recent years.

 

 

Physical channels (branches, CSBs and ATMs)

 

Our branch network serves as a distribution network for all of the products and services we offer to our clients. At December 31, 2016 our standard branch network reached 3,653 branches. We have 45 branches in Brazil, especially refurbished for shopping malls, with a new visual identity and service proposal. The spaces present a new concept of client service, with a differentiated layout inspired by the design of a retail store. Focusing on the relationship with the client as a way to strengthen contact with the public, these branches are open from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Furthermore, we have reached 135 digital branches as of December 2016, which aligns with our Digital Channels strategy.

 

Similarly, we also implemented changes in service hours for certain branches located in commercial hubs, which now open at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. or 8 p.m. This initiative was designed to adapt our services to the routines of our clients.

 

The range of services provided at CSBs may be the same as those provided at a full service branch, or more limited according to the size of a particular corporate client and its needs. CSBs represent a low-cost alternative to opening full service branches. In addition, we believe CSBs provide us with an opportunity to target new retail clients while servicing corporate clients and personnel.

 

ATMs are low-cost alternatives to employee-based services and give us points of service at significantly lower costs than branches. Our clients may conduct almost all account-related transactions through ATMs.

 

In addition to all our channels for serving clients (branches, CSBs and ATMs), we also have a partnership with “TecBan" ATM network, composed with more than 19,000 ATMs, which provide clients limited services – primarily cash withdrawal services.

 

Since 2012, we have made differentiated services available to certain registered clients. In addition to services available to our clients in general, these registered clients are able to withdraw funds and check current account balances and statements just by using biometric

 

 

 

 

technology. Biometrics enables these registered clients to carry out transactions with fingerprint identification, without typing a password or using a card, providing more security and convenience for our clients. To be able to use biometrics, clients simply register with any Itaú Unibanco branch.

 

Digital Channels (internet and mobile banking)

 

In a digital world, technology is now part of everyday life. With over 73% of all banking transactions in 2016 already taking place in digital channels, we, as a bank, are challenged daily with delivering an increasingly improved multi-channel and end-to-end experience to our customers.

 

Over 49% of all clients used a digital channel in December 2016. Mobile is the fastest growing channel, rapidly becoming the most relevant one for individuals. With respect to small and middle-market companies, desktop internet still remains the most used channel. In face of these challenges, we have continuously been transforming our customers digital experience, offering convenience through services and products to our individual and corporate clients, such as money transfers, payments, credit, investments, insurance and others.

 

Our focus is to provide more and more completion of services in mobile banking (just like the services we provide for internet banking) and keep improving user experience in our digital channels to make them even more intuitive and accessible to our customers.

Competition

 

General

 

The last several years have been characterized by increased competition and consolidation in the financial services industry in Brazil. At December 31, 2016, there were 138 conglomerates, commercial banks and multiple-service banks, development banks and Caixa Econômica Federal, among a total of 1,454 institutions in Brazil.

 

We, together with Banco Bradesco S.A. and Banco Santander Brasil S.A., are the leaders in the privately-owned multiple-services banking sector. At December 31, 2016, these banks accounted for 37.8% of the Brazilian banking sector’s total assets. We also face competition from state-owned banks. At December 31, 2016, Banco do Brasil S.A., Caixa Econômica Federal, and Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES) accounted for 43.2% of the banking system’s total assets.

 

The following table sets out the total assets of the 10 main banks in Brazil, classified according to their interest in the total assets of the Brazilian banking sector:

Seasonality

 

Generally our retail banking and our credit card businesses have some seasonality, with increased levels of retail and credit card transactions during the Christmas season and a subsequent decrease of these levels at the beginning of the year. In addition, there is a certain seasonality at the end of the year in our pension plan business, when the thirteenth salaries are paid. We also have some seasonality in our banking service fees related to collection services at the beginning of the year, which is when taxes and other fiscal contributions are generally paid.

 

e) The main inputs and raw materials, informing:

 

i. Description of the relationships established with suppliers, including whether they are subject to governmental controls or regulation, indicating the bodies and the applicable legislation

 

The process of contracting goods and services in our supply chain is carried out on a centralized basis by the Procurement department, with involvement of the contracting and the legal departments, among other supporting areas. Our relationship with suppliers is guided by a structured process, which begins with the supplier assessment aiming at reducing risks in our supply chain. Suppliers register on the website and adhere to the procurement policy, code of ethics, confidentiality policy, social and environmental responsibility, and general conditions applicable to the acquisition of goods and services. After this process, these suppliers are submitted to a technical and administrative assessment process that consists of an analysis of their adherence to environmental and social responsibility practices, compliance with fiscal, tax and labor responsibilities and performance of their corporate obligations using the same tools adopted in the assessment of clients (credit analysis, indebtedness, money laundering prevention, fraud, anticorruption law, among discrediting factors). Our administrative assessment takes into account a specific vision in accordance with the risks of the category of services provided or products supplied. This assessment is based on the matrix of supplier risks, which is composed of the four pillars described below:

 

1) Reputational / Regulatory: risks of supplier and corporate structure related to image, compliance with prevailing legislation, unlawful acts, human rights (child labor, slave labor), environmental impact, among others:

2) Financial: risks related to the financial position of the supplier;

3) Dependence: risks related to the Bank’s dependence on the supplier to mitigate the possibility of an interruption in the provision of products and services;

4) Labor: risks related to the provision of services that involve intensive labor.

 

 

 

  

After meeting these criteria and being approved, the supplier will be eligible for taking part in contracting processes, which will be formalized in a contract. In the event we identify any irregularities, penalties and action plans may be applied to help the supplier solve the issue or, in certain situations, this may lead to the suspension or termination of the respective contract.

 

ii. Possible dependence on few suppliers:

 

We have a base of over 7,000 approved suppliers that can provide services and supply products to Itaú. The persons in charge of procuring or contracting services in the Bank should always encourage free competition and carry out, whenever possible, procurement processes involving at least two suppliers. The search for suppliers to the Bank should be an ongoing and permanent activity, always seeking to strengthen the supplier base, ensure competition, better prices and opportunities and overcome critical supply issues. Any dependence may take place as a result of exclusiveness in the provision of a service by the supplier.

 

iii. Any volatility in suppliers' prices:

 

Price volatility related to supplier agreements is influenced by macroeconomic factors such as interest, inflation and foreign exchange rates), among others.

 

7.4. Identify whether there are clients that are responsible for more than 10% of the issuer’s net revenues, stating:

 

a)Total amount of revenue arising from the client

 

There are no clients that account for more than 10% of the Issuer’s revenue.

 

b) Operating segments affected by the revenue arising from the client

7.5. Describe the material effects of state regulation on the issuer’s activities, specifically commenting on:

 

a) The need for government permits for the performance of activities and the history of the Issuer’s relationship with the public authorities in obtaining such permits

 

In order to conduct its activities, the Issuer depends on prior permits from the Central Bank.

 

Incorporated on September 9, 1943 under the name Banco da Metrópole de São Paulo S.A., registered with the Junta Comercial do Estado de São Paulo (JUCESP) under number 20.683 on May 22, 1944, the Issuer obtained a permit to operate as a financial institution on July 24, 1944. However, its history traces back to the activities of Itaú and Unibanco. On September 27, 1924, the banking department of Casa Moreira Salles started to operate, later becoming Banco Moreira Salles. The institution, which would play the leading role in a

 

 

 

  

continuous process of mergers and acquisitions, adopted the name of Unibanco in 1975. In the Itaú group, the origins go back to 1944, when the members of the Egydio de Souza Aranha family founded Banco Federal de Crédito S.A. in São Paulo, currently Itaú Unibanco S.A.

 

In relation to the capital markets, the Issuer’s shares were admitted for trading on BM&FBOVESPA in March 2003, replacing the shares of the institution that is currently named Itaú Unibanco S.A., which were admitted for trading on BM&FBOVESPA (then named Bolsa Oficial de Valores de São Paulo) on October 20, 1944. On September 27, 1924, the banking department of Casa Moreira Salles started to operate, later becoming Banco Moreira Salles.

 

Regulatory environment

 

We are subject to regulation by, and supervision of, several entities, in the countries and for the segments in which we operate. The supervisory activities of these entities are essential to the structure of our business, and they directly impact our growth strategies. Below we describe the main entities that regulate and supervise our activities in Brazil:

 

·CMN: the highest authority responsible for establishing monetary and financial policies in Brazil, overall supervision of Brazilian monetary, credit, budgetary, fiscal and public debt policies, for regulating the conditions for organization, operation and inspection of financial institutions, as well as supervising the liquidity and solvency of these institutions. CMN is also responsible for the general guidelines to be followed in the organization and operation of the securities market and the regulation of foreign investments in Brazil;
·Central Bank: responsible for implementing the policies established by CMN, authorizing the establishment of financial institutions and supervising financial institutions in Brazil. It establishes minimum capital requirements, limits for permanent assets, credit limits and requirements for compulsory deposits, in accordance with the policies established by CMN;
·CVM: responsible for regulating, sanctioning and inspecting the Brazilian securities market (which in Brazil includes derivatives) and its participants, as well as overseeing exchange and organized over-the-counter markets;
·CNSP: responsible for establishing the guidelines and directives for insurance and premium bond companies and open private pension entities;
·SUSEP: responsible for regulating and supervising the insurance, open private pension funds and premium bond markets in Brazil and their participants; and
·ANS: responsible for regulating and supervising the health insurance market in Brazil and its participants.

 

Outside of Brazil, we have main operations subject to oversight by local regulatory authorities in the following jurisdictions: South America, in particular Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay; Europe, in particular, the United Kingdom and Switzerland; Central America in particular Panama, and the Caribbean, in particular Bahamas and Cayman Islands; and the United States of America.

Financial institutions are subject to a number of regulatory requirements and restrictions, among which the following are noteworthy:

 

·prohibition against operating in Brazil without the prior approval of the Central Bank;
·prohibition against acquiring real estate that are not for the financial institution’s own use, except real estate received for settlement of loan losses, in which case such real estate must be sold within one year, extendable by the Central Bank;
·prohibition against acquiring interests in companies without the prior approval of the Central Bank, except for ownership interest typical of investment portfolios held by investment banks or universal banks with investment portfolios;
·prohibition against granting loans that represent more than 25% of the financial institution’s regulatory capital to only one person or group;
·restrictions on borrowing and lending, as well as granting advances and guarantees, to certain related individuals and legal entities.;
·obligation to deposit a portion of the deposits received from clients with the Central Bank (compulsory deposit); and

 

 

 

  

·obligation to maintain sufficient capital reserves to absorb unexpected losses, pursuant to the rules proposed by the Basel Committee and implemented by the Central Bank.

 

Basel III Framework

 

The Basel III framework increases minimum capital requirements, creates new conservation and countercyclical buffers, changes risk-based capital measures, and introduces a new leverage limit and new liquidity standards in comparison to the former framework. The new rules will be phased in gradually and each country is expected to adopt such recommendations in laws or regulations applicable to local financial institutions.

 

The Basel III framework requires banks to maintain minimum capital levels corresponding to the following percentages of risk-weighted assets: (i) a minimum common equity capital ratio of 4.5%, composed of common shares; (ii) a minimum Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6.0%; and (iii) a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0%. In addition to the minimum capital requirements, Basel III requires a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% and each national regulator is given discretion to institute a “countercyclical buffer” if it perceives a greater system-wide risk to the banking system as the result of a build-up of excess credit growth in its jurisdiction. Basel III also introduces a new leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 Capital divided by the bank’s total exposure.

 

Basel III implemented a Liquidity Coverage Ratio, or LCR, and a Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The LCR requires affected banks to maintain sufficient high-quality liquid assets to cover the net cash outflows that could occur under a potential liquidity disruption scenario over a thirty-day period. The NFSR establishes a minimum amount of stable sources of funding that banks will be required to maintain based on the liquidity profile of the banks’ assets, as well as the potential for contingent liquidity needs arising from off-balance sheet commitments over a one-year period.

 

Additional requirements apply to non-common equity Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital instruments issued by internationally active banks. To be included in Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital, an instrument must contain a provision that requires that, at the discretion of the relevant authority, such instrument be either written-off or converted into common shares upon a “trigger event.” A “trigger event” is the decision of a competent authority pursuant to which, for a bank to remain a feasible financial institution, it is necessary (i) to write-off an instrument, or (ii) to inject government funds, or equivalent support, into such bank, whichever occurs first. The requirements are applicable to all instruments issued after January 1, 2013. The instruments qualified as capital issued before that date that do not comply with these requirements will be phased out of banks’ capital over a 10-year period, beginning on January 1, 2013.

 

Additional regulatory capital requirements apply to Global Systemically Important Financial Institutions (G-SIFIs). The Basel Committee’s assessment methodology to determine which financial institutions are G-SIFIs is based on indicators that reflect the following aspects of G-SIFIs: (i) size; (ii) interconnectedness; (iii) lack of readily available substitute or financial institution infrastructure for the services provided; (iv) global or cross-jurisdictional activity; and (v) complexity. Each of these factors receives an equal weight of 20.0% in the assessment.

 

The Basel Committee has also issued a framework for the regulation of Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), which supplements the G-SIFI framework by focusing on the impact that the distress or failure of systemically important banks would have on the domestic economy of each country.

 

Implementation of Basel III in Brazil

 

Brazilian banks’ minimum total capital ratio is calculated as the sum of two components: Regulatory Capital (patrimônio de referência); and Additional Core Capital (adicional de capital principal).

 

Brazilian banks’ Regulatory Capital is comprised of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital is further divided into two elements: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (common equity capital and profit reserves, or capital principal) and Additional Tier 1 Capital (hybrid debt and equity instruments authorized by the Central Bank, or capital complementar).

 

In order to qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital, all instruments issued after October 1, 2013 by a Brazilian bank must contain loss-absorbency provisions, including a requirement that such instruments be automatically written off or converted into equity upon a “trigger event”. A “trigger event” is the earlier of: (i) Common Equity Tier 1 Capital being less

 

 

 

  

than 5.125% of the risk-weighted assets for Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments and 4.5% for Tier 2 Capital instruments; (ii) the execution of a firm irrevocable written agreement for the government to inject capital in the financial institution; (iii) the Central Bank declaring the beginning of a temporary special administration regime (Regime de Administração Especial Temporária, or RAET) or intervention in the financial institution; or (iv) a decision by the Central Bank, according to criteria established by the CMN, that the write-off or conversion of the instrument is necessary to maintain the bank as a viable financial institution and to mitigate relevant risks to the Brazilian financial system. Specific procedures and criteria for the conversion of shares and the write-off of outstanding debt related to funding instruments eligible to qualify as regulatory capital are established by CMN regulation. The legal framework applicable to financial bills (letras financeiras) was adapted to allow Brazilian financial institutions to issue Basel III-compliant debt instruments in the Brazilian market.

 

Existing hybrid instruments and subordinated debt previously approved by the Central Bank as eligible capital instruments may continue to qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital, as the case may be, provided that they comply with the above requirements and a new authorization from the Central Bank is obtained. Instruments that do not comply with these requirements will be phased out as eligible capital instruments by deducting 10.0% of their book value per year from the amount that qualifies as Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital. The first deduction occurred on October 1, 2013, and subsequent deductions will take place annually starting January 1, 2014 until January 1, 2022.

 

The Additional Core Capital requirement is subdivided into three elements: the capital conservation buffer (Adicional de Capital Principal Conservação), the countercyclical capital buffer (Adicional de Capital Principal Contracíclico) and the higher loss absorbency requirement for domestic systemically important banks (Adicional de Capital Principal Sistêmico). The capital conservation buffer is aimed at increasing the loss absorption ability of financial institutions. The countercyclical capital buffer can be imposed within a range by the Central Bank if it judges that credit growth is increasing systematic risk. The higher loss absorbency requirement for domestic systemically important banks seeks to address the impact that the distress or failure of Brazilian banks may have on the local economy. In the event of non-compliance with the Additional Core Capital requirement, certain restrictions will apply, including the inability of the financial institution to: (i) pay officers and directors their share of variable compensation; (ii) distribute dividends and interest on equity to stockholders; and (iii) repurchase its own shares and effect reductions in its share capital.

 

From October 1, 2015, a minimum LCR in a standardized liquidity stress scenario is required for banks with total assets in excess of R$100 billion, individually or at the consolidated enterprise level (conglomerado prudencial), as the case may be. The calculation of the LCR follows the methodology set forth by the Central Bank which is aligned with international guidelines. During periods of increased need for liquidity, banks may report a lower LCR than the minimum required ratio, provided that they also report to the Central Bank the causes for not meeting the minimum requirement, the contingent sources of liquidity they have available, and the measures they plan to adopt to be in compliance with the LCR requirement. Banks will also be required to effect public disclosures of their LCR on a quarterly basis after April 1, 2016.

 

In January 2017, the Central Bank enacted a new rule amending the provisions regarding calculation methods and procedures for the disclosure of LCR information. The new regulation establishes a new possible stress scenario and indicates that, for LCR purposes, cash and time deposits are considered retail funding components.

 

The following table presents the schedule for phased-in implementation by the Central Bank of the capital adequacy and liquidity coverage ratio requirements under Basel III, as applicable to Itaú Unibanco Holding. The figures presented below refer to the percentage of our risk-weighted assets.

 

 

 

  

Basel III - Schedule   From January 1,
  2015   2016   2017   2018   2019
    (%)
Common equity Tier 1   4.5   4.5   4.5   4.5   4.5
Tier 1 Capital   6.0   6.0   6.0   6.0   6.0
Total regulatory capital   11.0   9.875   9.25   8.625   8.0
Additional common equity Tier 1 (ACP)   -   0.625   1.5   2.375   3.5

Prudential adjustments deductions   40   60   80   100   100

(1) According to Circular No 3.769 of Central Bank, the ACP countercyclical requirement is zero.

 

The Central Bank has also established the calculation methodology for the leverage ratio. However, it has not yet determined a minimum ratio. Banks are required to prepare public disclosures of their leverage ratios on a quarterly basis after October 1, 2015.

 

CMN regulation also defines the entities that compose the consolidated enterprise level (conglomerado prudencial) of a Brazilian financial institution, and establishes the requirement that a financial institution prepare and file with the Central Bank monthly complete financial statements at the consolidated enterprise level (conglomerado prudencial) pursuant to the parameters defined therein. Such financial statements should also be audited by external auditors on a semi-annual basis. As of January 1, 2015, minimum capital and ratio requirements apply at the consolidated enterprise level (conglomerado prudencial).

 

In addition to the rules issued in accordance with the criteria set forth in Basel III, in July, 2013, Law No. 12,838 was issued, allowing the determination of deemed credit based on deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences resulting from allowances for loan losses, which, in practice, exempts financial institutions from deducting this type of credit from its core capital. The law also changes the rules for the issue of subordinated debt, requiring the inclusion of clauses for the suspension of the stipulated compensation and the extinction of the credit right or its conversion into shares, and conditions stockholders’ remuneration to compliance with the prudential requirements established by CMN.

 

Brazilian financial institutions are also required to implement a capital management structure compatible with the nature of its transactions, the complexity of the products and services it offers, as well as with the extent of its exposure to risks. Capital management is defined as a process that includes: (i) monitoring and controlling the financial institution’s capital; (ii) assessing capital needs in light of the risks to which the financial institution is subject; and (iii) setting goals and conducting capital planning in order to meet capital needs due to changes in market conditions. Financial institutions should publish a report describing the structure of their capital management at least on an annual basis. Disclosure and reporting of risk management matters, risk-weighted asset calculation, and adequate compliance with regulatory capital requirements are regulated by the Central Bank and reflect the so-called “Pillar 3” of regulatory capital recommended under Basel III, aimed at improving governance and disclosure.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Exposure

 

Transactions involving the sale and purchase of foreign currency in Brazil may only be conducted by institutions authorized to do so by the Central Bank. There are no limits for long or short positions in foreign currency for banks authorized to carry out transactions on the foreign exchange market. The compulsory deposit requirement rate on the foreign currency short position held by financial institutions is currently 0%.

 

In accordance with CMN regulation, financial institutions in Brazil may raise funds abroad, either through direct loans or through the issuance of debt securities. Funds raised accordingly may be freely invested in Brazil, including but not limited to on-lending to Brazilian companies and financial institutions. Brazilian banks authorized to operate in foreign currency markets which hold regulatory capital higher than R$5 billion may also use these funds to grant loans abroad to Brazilian companies, their offshore subsidiaries and to foreign companies controlled by Brazilians or to acquire securities issued or guaranteed by such companies in the

 

 

 

  

primary market. Cross-border loans, in which one party is in Brazil and the other party is abroad, require previous registration with the Central Bank, which may establish limits on the conditions of such foreign currency loan transactions.

 

Financial institutions may also grant loans in or indexed to a foreign currency to their clients’ trade-related activities, such as by granting advances on foreign exchange contracts (Adiantamento sobre Contrato de Câmbio), advances on delivered export register (Adiantamento sobre Cambiais Entregues) or export or import prepayment agreements (Pré-Pagamento de Exportação e Financiamento à Importação), all in accordance with Brazilian regulations on foreign exchange markets and international capital flows.

 

The Central Bank and the Brazilian government frequently change rules and regulations applicable to foreign currency borrowing and loans in accordance with the economic scenario and Brazilian monetary policy.

 

Besides that legislation sets forth that the total exposure in gold and other assets and liabilities indexed or linked to the foreign exchange rate variation undertaken by financial institutions (including their offshore branches), and their direct and indirect subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, may not exceed 30.0% of their regulatory capital.

 

Liquidity and Fixed Assets Investment Regime

 

In accordance with CMN regulation, financial institutions may not hold, on a consolidated basis, permanent assets, including investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, real estate, equipment and intangible assets, exceeding 50.0% of the adjusted regulatory capital.

 

Lending Limits

 

Furthermore, we are legally prevented from granting loans or advances, and guarantees, including derivative transactions, underwriting or holding in our investment portfolio securities of any clients or group of affiliated clients that, in the aggregate, give rise to exposure to such client or group of affiliated clients that exceeds 25.0% of our regulatory capital.

 

Credit Exposure Limits

 

For the purpose of this limit, the following public sector entities are to be considered as separate customers: (i) the Brazilian government, (ii) an entity controlled directly or indirectly by the Brazilian government which is not financially dependent on another entity controlled directly or indirectly by the Brazilian government, (iii) entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Brazilian government which are financially dependent among themselves, (iv) a State or the Federal District, jointly with all entities directly or indirectly controlled by it, and (v) a municipal district, jointly with all entities directly or indirectly controlled by it.

 

Loans and Advances to Related Parties

 

Brazilian regulation sets forth that financial institutions are not allowed to grant loans, advances or guarantees to certain individuals and entities related to them, including:

 

(i) officers, and members of the board of directors, fiscal council, advisory councils and other statutory committees, as well as their spouses, ascendants, descendants and collateral relatives to the second degree, either blood relatives or in-laws;

(ii) individuals or legal entities that directly or indirectly control the financial institution or hold more than 10% of the financial institution’s share capital

(iii) legal entities directly or indirectly controlled by the financial institution or legal entities in which the financial institution directly or indirectly holds more than 10% of the share capital; or

(iv) legal entities directly or indirectly controlled by the individuals mentioned in items “I” and “II” above or legal entities in which such individuals directly or indirectly hold more than 10% of the share capital.

 

 

 

  

Compensation of Directors and Officers of Financial Institutions

 

According to rules set forth by CMN, Brazilian financial institutions are required to have a compensation policy. If variable compensation is to be paid to management, at least 50% of the total compensation should be paid in shares or share-based instruments and at least 40% of the total compensation should be deferred for future payment for at least three years. If the institution records a significant decrease in the realized recurring profit or a negative result during the deferral period, the deferred and unpaid portions of the compensation should be reversed proportionally to the decrease in result, in order to minimize the loss incurred by the financial institutions and their stockholders.

 

Our compensation policy, applicable to directors and officers in Brazil (constituting the major part of the management population of the Itaú Unibanco Group), complies with CMN’s regulatory requirements. Our compensation principles and practices worldwide comply with each local regulation and seek to increase alignment between the interests of our stockholders and our management.

 

Antitrust Regulation

 

The Brazilian Antitrust Law requires that transactions resulting in economic concentration should be submitted for prior approval to CADE, the Brazilian antitrust authority, if the transactions meet the following criteria: (i) the economic group of any of the parties to a transaction recorded, in the fiscal year prior to that of the transaction, minimum gross revenues of R$750 million; and (ii) at least one of the other economic groups involved in the transaction recorded, for the same time period, minimum gross revenues of R$75 million. The closing of a transaction prior to CADE’s approval subjects the parties to fines ranging from R$60,000 to R$60 million, the nullity of the relevant agreement and potential administrative proceedings. In addition to submitting such transactions to CADE’s approval, financial institutions are required by Circular No. 3,590/2012 of the Central Bank (updated by Circular No. 3,800/2016) to submit to the Central Bank’s antitrust approval any concentration acts involving two or more financial institutions in the following cases: (i) acquisition of corporate control, (ii) a merger, (iii) transfer of the business to another financial institution, and (iv) other transactions which result in increased market share in the market segments they operate.

 

With respect to the conflict of jurisdiction to review and approve concentration acts involving financial institutions, the matter remains undefined. The uncertainty concerning whether CADE or the Central Bank should review and approve concentration acts involving financial institutions has resulted in financial institutions submitting for antitrust approval concentration acts in the banking sector not only to the Central Bank but also to CADE.

Treatment of Past Due Debts

 

Brazilian financial institutions are required to classify their credit transactions (including leasing transactions and other transactions characterized as credit advances) at different levels and recognize provisions according to the level attributed to each such transaction. The classification is based on the financial condition of the clients the terms and conditions of the transaction and the period of time during which the transaction is past due, if any. For purposes of Central Bank requirements, transactions are classified as level AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H, with AA being the highest classification. Credit classifications must be reviewed on a monthly basis and, apart from additional provisions required by the Central Bank which are deemed necessary by the management of financial institutions, each level has a specific allowance percentage that is applied to it and which we use to calculate our allowance for loan losses, as specified in more detail in the following table:

 

Classification (1) AA A B C D E F G H
Allowance (%) 0 0.5 1 3 10 30 50 70 100

 

 

 

  

Past due (in days) - - 15 to 30 31 to 60 61 to 90 91 to 120 121 to 150 151 to 180 Over 180
(1)Our credit classification also takes into account the client´s credit profile, which may negatively impact the past due classification.

 

Bank insolvency

 

The insolvency of financial institutions is handled pursuant to applicable laws and regulations by the Central Bank, which initiates and monitors all applicable administrative proceedings. There are three types of special regimes that may be imposed to either private-sector financial institutions or state-owned (other than federal government-owned) financial institutions or similar institutions: (i) temporary special administration regime (RAET), (ii) intervention, and (iii) extrajudicial liquidation. Financial institutions may also be subject to the bankruptcy regime.

 

In the course of the special regimes described below, the steering committee, the intervenor, and the liquidator may, when authorized by the Central Bank: (i) dispose of assets and rights of the financial institution to third parties and (ii) proceed with corporate restructuring processes in the financial institution or its subsidiaries, among other possible measures of similar effect.

 

RAET

 

RAET is a less severe special regime which allows financial institutions to continue to operate. Its main effect is that the whole management loses its offices and is replaced by a steering committee appointed by the Central Bank with broad management powers. Its duration is limited and its main objective is the adoption of measures aimed at the resumption of the financial institution’s regular activities. If resumption is not possible, this regime may be turned into an extrajudicial liquidation.

 

Intervention

 

Under this regime, the Central Bank appoints an intervenor that takes charge of the financial institution's management, suspending its regular activities and dismissing the financial institution’s management. In general, the intervention is aimed at preventing the continuation of certain irregularities and the aggravation of the financial situation of the financial institution, which can put assets at risk and harm the financial institution’s creditors. The intervention is also time-limited and may be followed by the resumption of the financial institution’s regular activities or the declaration of extrajudicial liquidation or bankruptcy.

 

The intervention suspends all actions related to payment obligations of the financial institution, prevents the early settlement or maturity of its obligations and freezes pre-existing deposits.

 

Extrajudicial Liquidation

 

Extrajudicial liquidation generally corresponds to the process of dissolution of the company in cases of unrecoverable insolvency or severe violations of the rules that regulate a financial institution’s activities. The extrajudicial liquidation aims at promoting the liquidation of the existing assets for the payment of creditors, with the return of any amounts left to stockholders. Controlling stockholders may be held responsible for remaining liabilities.

 

The extrajudicial liquidation (i) suspends actions and executions related to the financial institution, (ii) accelerates the maturity of the financial institution’s obligations; and (iii) interrupts the statute of limitations of the financial institution's obligations. In addition, the debt of the estate under liquidation will no longer accrue interest until all obligations to third parties are settled.

 

Deposit Insurance

 

In the event of intervention, extrajudicial liquidation or liquidation of a financial institution in a bankruptcy proceeding, the Credit Insurance Fund, or FGC, a deposit insurance system, guarantees the maximum amount of R$250,000 for certain deposits and credit instruments held by an individual, a company or another legal entity with a financial institution (or financial

 

 

 

  

institutions of the same economic group). The resources of the FGC come primarily from mandatory contributions from all Brazilian financial institutions that receive deposits from clients, currently at a monthly rate of 0.0125% of the amount of the balances of accounts corresponding to the financial instruments that are the subject matter of the ordinary guarantee, even if the related credits are not fully covered by FGC, and certain special contributions. Deposits and funds raised abroad are not guaranteed by the FGC. As from February 2016, credits of financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank, complementary welfare entities, insurance companies, capitalization companies, investment clubs and investment funds, as well as those representing any interest in or financial instrument held by such entities, are not protected by the ordinary guarantee of FGC.

 

Payment of Creditors in Liquidation

 

In the event of extrajudicial liquidation of a financial institution or liquidation of a financial institution in a bankruptcy proceeding, the salaries of employees and the related labor claims up to a certain amount, secured credits and tax charges have priority in any claims against the entity in liquidation. The payment of unsecured credits, including deposits from regular retail clients that are not guaranteed by FGC, is subject to the prior payment of preferred credits. Additionally, upon the payment of the deposits guaranteed by FGC, FGC becomes an unsecured creditor of the estate in liquidation.

 

Insurance Regulation

 

With governmental approval, insurance companies in Brazil may offer all types of insurance, except for workers’ compensation insurance, directly to clients or through qualified brokers.

 

Insurance companies must set aside reserves to be invested in specific types of securities. As a result, insurance companies are among the main investors in the Brazilian securities market and subject to CMN regulations regarding the investment of technical reserves.

 

In the event an insurance company is declared bankrupt, the insurance company will be subject to a special procedure administered by SUSEP or by ANS. If an insurance company is declared bankrupt and (i) its assets are not sufficient to guarantee at least half of the unsecured credits or (ii) procedures relating to acts that may be considered bankruptcy-related crimes are in place, the insurance company will be subject to ordinary bankruptcy procedures.

 

There is currently no restriction on foreign investments in insurance companies in Brazil.

 

Brazilian legislation establishes that insurance companies must buy reinsurance to the extent their liabilities exceed their technical limits under the rules of the regulatory body (CNSP and SUSEP), and reinsurance contracts may be entered into through a direct negotiation between the insurance and reinsurance companies or through a reinsurance broker authorized to operate in Brazil.

 

Insurance companies, until December 31, 2016, when transferring their risks in reinsurance, must transfer 40.0% of each facultative or automatic contract to local reinsurers (companies domiciled in Brazil).

 

From January 1, 2017, this percentage reduces to 30%, and will reduce annually until it reaches 15% on January 1, 2020.

 

In addition, until December 31, 2016, risk assignment between insurers and reinsurers belonging to the same economic group is limited to 20.0% of the premiums pertaining to each facultative or automatic contract. From January 1, 2017, this percentage has increased to 30%, and annually will increase until it reaches 75% on January 1, 2020.

 

Anti-Corruption Law

 

In January 2014, a new Brazilian anti-corruption law came into force which establishes that legal entities will have strict liability (regardless of fault or willful misconduct) if they are involved in any form of bribery. Although known as an anti-corruption law, it also encompasses other injurious acts contrary to the Brazilian or foreign public administration including bid rigging and obstruction of justice. The law provides for heavy penalties, both through administrative and

 

 

 

  

judicial proceedings including determination of dissolution of a company, prohibition against undertaking financing with public entities and prohibition against participating in public biddings.

 

In addition, the law authorizes the public administrative authorities responsible for the investigation to enter into leniency agreements. The self-disclosure of violations and cooperation by legal entities may result in the reduction of fines and other sanctions as determined by the new federal regulation issued in March 2015.

 

The new regulation also provides parameters for the application of the anti-corruption law including with respect to penalties and compliance programs. Please refer to:

Anti-Money Laundering Regulation

 

The Brazilian anti-money laundering law establishes the basic framework to prevent and punish money laundering as a crime. It prohibits the concealment or dissimulation of origin, location, availability, handling or ownership of assets, rights or financial resources directly or indirectly originated from crimes, subjecting the agents of these illegal practices to imprisonment, temporary disqualification from managing enterprises up to 10 years and monetary fines.

 

The Brazilian anti-money laundering law also created the Financial Activities Control Council, or COAF, which is the Brazilian financial intelligence unit that operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance. COAF performs a key role in the Brazilian anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing system, and its legal responsibility is to coordinate the mechanisms for international cooperation and information exchange.

 

In compliance with the Brazilian anti-money laundering law and related regulations enacted by the Central Bank, including the rules applicable to procedures that must be adopted by financial institutions to prevent and combat money laundering and terrorism financing, as well as in response to the recommendation of the Financial Action Task Force – FATF and United Nations Security Council, financial institutions in Brazil must establish internal control and procedures aiming at:

 

·identifying and knowing their clients, which includes determining if they are PEPs, and also identifying the ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) of the transactions. These records should be kept up-to-date;
·checking the compatibility between the movement of funds of a client and such client's economic and financial capacity;
·checking the origin of funds;
·carrying out a prior analysis of new products and services, under the perspective of money laundering prevention;
·keeping records of all transactions carried out or financial services provided on behalf of a certain client or for that client;
·reporting to COAF, within one business day, any transaction deemed to be suspicious by the financial institution, as well as all transactions in cash equivalent to or higher than R$100,000, without informing the involved person or any third party;
·applying special attention to (i) unusual transactions or proposed transactions with no apparent economic or legal bases; (ii) transactions involving PEPs, (iii) indication of evading client identification and transaction registering procedures; (iv) client and transactions for which the UBO cannot be identified; (v) transactions originated from or destined to countries that do not fully comply with the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF); and (vi) situations in which it is not possible to keep the clients’ identification records duly updated;
·determining criteria for hiring personnel and offering anti-money laundering training for employees;

 

 

 

  

·establishing procedures to be complied with by all branches and subsidiaries of a Brazilian financial institutions located abroad with respect to anti-money laundering;
·establishing that, any institutions authorized to operate in the Brazilian foreign exchange market with financial institutions located abroad must verify whether the foreign financial institution is physically located in the jurisdiction where it was organized and licensed, and that it is subject to effective supervision;
·monitoring transactions and situations which could be considered suspicious for anti-money laundering purposes;
·reporting to COAF the occurrence of suspicious transactions, as required under applicable regulations, and also, at least once a year, whether or not suspicious transactions are verified, in order to certify the non-occurrence of transactions subject to reporting to COAF (negative report);
·requiring clients to inform the financial institution, at least one business day in advance, of their intention to withdraw amounts equal to or exceeding R$100,000;
·ensuring that policies, procedures and internal controls are commensurate with the size and volume of transactions; and
·unavailability of goods, values and rights of possession or ownership and all other rights, real or personal, owned, directly or indirectly, of natural or legal persons subject to sanctions by the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.

 

Non-compliance with any of the obligations above subjects the financial institution and its officers to penalties ranging from: (i) formal notice, (ii) fines (from 1.0% to 200.0% of the amount of the transaction, 200.0% of the profit generated thereby, or a fine of up to R$20,000,000), (iii) rendering executive officers ineligible for holding any management position in financial institutions, to (iv) the cancellation of the financial institution’s license to operate.

 

In August 2013, the Brazilian Association of Banks (Federação Brasileira de Bancos, or FEBRABAN) enacted an anti-money laundering and terrorism financing self-regulation. The purpose of the document is to improve the contribution of the Brazilian financial system to the prevention of money laundering and make consistent the practices adopted by all banks, encouraging them to reinforce their preventive procedures.

 

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)

 

PEPs are public agents who hold or have held a relevant public position, as well as their representatives, family members or other close associates, over the past five years, in Brazil or other countries, territories and foreign jurisdictions. It also includes their legal entities. Financial institutions must develop and implement internal procedures to identify PEPs and obtain special approval from a more senior staff member, such as an officer, than otherwise would be required to approve relationships prior to establishing any relationship with those individuals. They should also adopt reinforced and continuous surveillance actions regarding transactions with PEPs and report all suspicious transactions to COAF.

 

Portability of Credit Transactions

 

The portability of credit transactions is regulated by the Central Bank since 2013. Portability consists of the transfer of a credit transaction from the original creditor to another institution, at the request of the debtor, maintaining the same outstanding balance and payment conditions. The regulation establishes standard procedures and deadlines for the exchange of information and the mandatory use of an electronic system authorized by the Central Bank for the transfer of funds between financial institutions, prohibiting the use of any alternative procedure to produce the same effects of the portability, including so-called "debt purchases".

 

Rules Governing the Charge of Fees on Banking and Credit Card Operations

 

Banking fees and credit card operations are extensively regulated by the CMN and the Central Bank. According to Brazilian legislation, we must classify the services we provide to

 

 

 

  

individuals under pre-determined categories and are subject to limitations on the collection of fees for such services.

 

Brazilian financial institutions are generally not authorized to charge fees from individuals for providing services classified as “essential” with respect to checking and saving accounts, such as supplying debit cards, check books, withdrawals, statements and transfers, among others.

 

Brazilian legislation also authorizes financial institutions to charge fees related to “priority services”, a standard set of services defined by Central Bank regulation. Financial institutions must offer to their individual clients “standard packages” of priority services. Clients may also choose between these or other packages offered by the financial institution, or to use and pay for services individually instead of selecting a package.

 

Current rules also authorize financial institutions to charge fees for specific services called “additional services” (serviços diferenciados), provided that the account holder or user is informed of the use and payment conditions relating to such services, or that fees and collection methods are defined in the contract.

 

CMN also establishes rules applicable to credit cards, determining the events that allow for the collection of fees by issuers, as well as the information that must be disclosed in credit card statements and in the credit card agreement. There is also a list of priority services. The rules define two types of credit cards: (i) basic credit cards, with simpler services, without rewards programs and (ii) “special credit cards”, with benefits and reward programs. A minimum of 15% of the total outstanding credit card balance must be paid monthly by credit card holders.

 

A minimum 30-day prior notice to the public must precede the creation or increase of a fee, whereas fees related to priority services may only be increased 180 days after the date of a previous increase (while the reduction of a fee can take place at any time). With respect to credit cards, a 45-day prior notice to the public is required for any increase or creation of fees, and such fees may only be increased 365 days after a previous increase. The period of 365 days is also subject to changes in the rules applicable to benefit or reward programs.

 

At the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, two major changes occurred in the Brazilian payment market. In December 2016 a provisional measure was published authorizing the surcharge by payment instrument as a way to stimulate retail sales, allowing retailers to charge different prices depending on the payment method. In January 2017 the Central Bank published a new resolution establishing that debits made with credit cards cannot have a revolving credit feature for more than one payment period.Financial institutions may offer to those clients an installment credit with lower interest rates than the revolving credit line.

 

Leasing regulation

 

Although leasing transactions are not classified as credit transactions under Brazilian legislation, the Central Bank of Brazil regulates and oversees leasing transactions. The parties involved in a leasing transaction are the “lessor” (the bank) and “lessee” (our client). The leased asset, owned by the lessor, is delivered to be used by the lessee until the end of the contract, when the lessee may opt to either acquire or return it to the lessor or renew the contract for a new period.

 

Brazilian legislation establishes a specific methodology to account for the profits or losses in leasing transactions and all information that should be included in a lease agreement. The guaranteed residual amount paid by a lessee should correspond to a minimum return required for the transaction to be viable for the lessor, whether the purchase option is exercised or not. The laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions, such as those related to reporting requirements, capital adequacy and leverage, assets composition limits and allowance for losses, are also generally applicable to leasing companies.

 

Correspondent agents

 

We may engage other entities to provide certain services to our clients, including customer service. These entities are generally called correspondents, and our relationship with correspondents is regulated by the Central Bank. Among other requirements, the Central Bank establishes that employees of all correspondent agents must hold a technical certification authorizing them to serve customers involved in credit and leasing operations.

 

 

 

  

Banking secrecy

 

Brazilian financial institutions must maintain the secrecy of banking transactions and services provided to their clients. The only circumstances in which information about clients, services or transactions by Brazilian financial institutions or credit card companies may be disclosed to third parties are the following:

 

·the disclosure of information with the express consent of the interested parties;
·the exchange of information between financial institutions for record purposes;
·the disclosure of information to credit reference agencies based on data from the records of subscribers of checks drawn on accounts without sufficient funds and defaulting debtors;
·the disclosure of information to the competent authorities relating to the actual or suspected occurrence of criminal acts or administrative wrongdoings, including the disclosure of information on transactions involving funds related to any unlawful activities;
·the disclosure of some information established by law to tax authority; and
·the disclosure of information in compliance with a judicial order.

 

Except as permitted under the Brazilian legislation or by judicial order, a breach of bank secrecy is a criminal offense.

 

Ombudsman

 

In 2015, CMN and Central Bank updated the regulation about the Ombudsman's Office for Financial Institutions subject to supervision. The Ombudsman’s Office has been mandatory since 2007 and is the main channel of customer assistance and mediation of conflicts monitored by the Central Bank.

 

In this update, the main duties of the Ombudsman's Office were reinforced, to continue acting as a last resource within the company to resolve clients’ demands between clients and the institution, and to attend to complaints not resolved in our primary channels.

 

Every six months, the Ombudsman has to prepare a report about the most critical complaints, root cause analysis and action plans to improve customer experience. This report is submitted to upper management and audit committee, as well as to Central Bank.

 

The revised standard reduced SLAs from 15 to a maximum of 10 days from client’s complaints. It also demanded more transparency and highlight to contact information, telephone number for access to the Ombudsman's Office on the internet and the need to publish a public report on the Ombudsman's work.

 

Itaú Unibanco has been in compliance since the mandatory date of June 30, 2016.

 

Regulation of the Brazilian Securities Market

 

According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, a company is considered publicly-traded or closely-held depending on whether the securities issued by it are accepted for trading in the securities market or not. All publicly-held companies, such as our company, are registered with CVM and are subject to information disclosure and reporting requirements.

 

Disclosure Requirements

 

Under CVM rules, publicly-traded companies are subject to disclosure requirements and rules governing the use of material information. Any decision that may reasonably influence the price of the securities issued by a publicly-held company or the decision of investors to buy, sell, or hold these securities, is considered material.

 

CVM improved the quality of the information that must be presented in periodic filings by securities issuers by requiring such issuers to register a “Reference Form” in its files. This form was modeled after IOSCO’s shelf registration system in gathering all of the issuer’s information in a single document.

 

 

 

  

Asset Management Regulation

 

The Brazilian asset management regulation requires a previous registration with CVM to perform the services of portfolio management and fund administration.

 

Itaú Unibanco Group provides several services in the capital markets and, in particular, performs activities related to fund administration and portfolio management under CVM registration and in accordance with CVM regulation.

 

By providing these services, our entities engaged in the asset management business can be held civilly and administratively liable for losses arising from either intentional acts or negligence in conducting their activities.

 

CVM has regulatory powers to oversee these activities, including powers to impose fines and other sanctions on registered asset managers.

 

Funds of foreign investors

 

In March 2015, a new regulatory framework issued by CMN and CVM became effective regarding (i) foreign investment in the Brazilian financial and capital markets and (ii) depositary receipts.

 

The most significant changes in the rules applicable to foreign investment in the Brazilian financial and capital markets introduced by the new regulation are: (i) a requirement that only financial institutions authorized to operate in Brazil may act as legal representatives of non-resident investors in Brazil for purposes of any investments made within the purview of such rule; (ii) clarification of requirements regarding simultaneous foreign exchange transactions (without the effective transfer of money) related to foreign investments; and (iii) clarification about the types of investments that can be made through a foreign investor account (conta de domiciliado no exterior) maintained at a bank in Brazil.

 

The new regulation also amended the rules applicable to depositary receipts, by allowing the issuance of depositary receipts based on (i) any security issued by Brazilian companies registered with CVM (companhias abertas), in contrast to the previous rules which limited the issuance of depository receipts to equity securities, and (ii) credit instruments issued by financial institutions and other types of institutions registered with CVM and authorized by the Central Bank, and eligible to be included in the financial institution’s regulatory capital (Patrimônio de Referência).

 

Some of the changes implemented by CVM rules on registry, operations and disclosure of information related to foreign investment in the Brazilian financial and capital markets were made to detail the activities of legal representatives, to enlarge the scope of non-resident investor´s private transactions and to determine the exceptions of transfer between non-resident investors prohibited by CMN.

 

Internet and E-Commerce Regulation

 

Certain aspects of electronic commerce are regulated, including the validity of electronic documents in Brazil and electronic commerce transactions from the consumer protection standpoint. Current regulation on electronic commerce is intended to: (i) clearly identify the supplier and the product sold on the internet; (ii) provide an electronic service channel to clients; and (iii) guarantee cancellation and return of internet orders.

 

In addition, computer hacking offenses were criminalized in Brazil in 2012.

 

In light of the increased use of electronic channels in the Brazilian banking industry, CMN has enacted a number of resolutions over the past few years in order to provide or establish:

 

·that Brazilian residents may open deposit bank accounts by electronic means, which includes the internet, ATMs, telephone and other communication channels, provided that transfers of amounts from such accounts are allowed only between accounts of the same account holder or in the event of liquidation of investment products and funds of an account, of the same account holders who own the investment products or funds;

 

·the requirements related to the verification of a client’s identity;

 

 

 

  

·that all financial institutions that offer products and services through electronic means must guarantee the security, secrecy and reliability of all electronic transactions and disclose, in clear and precise terms, the risks and responsibilities involving the product or service acquired through these channels; and

 

·the opening of deposit bank and savings accounts that can be used exclusively through electronic means.

 

On April 25, 2016, CMN enacted a regulation on the opening and closing of banking accounts by electronic means, without the restrictions described above. Banks must adopt procedures and controls to confirm and guarantee the client's identity and the authenticity of the information required to open an account. The regulation permits the use of digital signatures and the collection of signatures through electronic devices. The procedures and technologies used in the opening and closing of electronically deposit accounts must observe:

 

I   -   integrity, authenticity and confidentiality of the information and electronic documents used;

II   - protection against access, use, modification, reproduction and unauthorized destruction of information and electronic documents;

III  -  backup production of information and electronic documents; and

IV -  tracking and auditing procedures and technologies used in the process.

V  -  Under the new regulation, customers must be afforded the option of closing banking accounts electronically.

 

Federal Law No. 12,965/2014 and Federal No. Decree 8,771/2016 establish the regulatory framework for internet services in Brazil and set forth principles and rules to be observed by internet providers and users, including the protection of privacy and personal data and the preservation and safeguard of net neutrality.

 

FEBRABAN, the Brazilian Federation of Banks, has issued a regulation on extending credit through remote channels (such as ATMs, call centers and internet banking), setting forth minimum guidelines and procedures to ensure reliability, quality, transparency and efficiency.

 

Regulation on Payment Agents and Payment Arrangements

 

A Brazilian law enacted in October 2013 establishes the legal framework for “payment arrangements” (i.e., the set of rules governing a payment scheme, such as a credit or debit card transaction), and “payment agents” (i.e., any agent that issues a payment instrument or acquires a merchant for payment acceptance), which became part of the Brazilian Payments System and subject to oversight by the Central Bank. Payment agents, in spite of being regulated by the Central Bank, are not deemed to be financial institutions and are prohibited from engaging in activities that are exclusive of financial institutions.

 

CMN and the Central Bank published rules in November 2013 regulating payment arrangements and payment agents. This regulation establishes, among other matters: (i) consumer protection and anti-money laundering compliance and loss prevention rules that should be followed by all entities supervised by the Central Bank when acting as payment agents and payment arrangers; (ii) the procedures for the incorporation, organization, authorization and operation of payment agents, as well for the transfer of control, subject to the Central Bank’s prior approval; (iii) capital requirements; (iv) definition of arrangements excluded from the Brazilian Payments System; (v) payment accounts, which are divided into prepaid and post-paid accounts; and (vi) a liquidity requirement for prepaid accounts that demands the allocation of their balance to a special account at the Central Bank or to be invested in

 

 

 

  

government bonds, starting at 20% in 2014 and raising gradually up to the totality of the total account balance in 2019.

 

In October 2015, a regulation was published by the Central Bank regulating limitations on closed payment arrangements, the concept of domicile institution, obligation of centralized clearing and settlement for the payment arrangements, and transparency of interoperability rules within an arrangement and between arrangements.

 

Credit Performance Information

 

Brazilian law establishes rules for the organization and consultation of databases compiling positive credit history information of individuals and legal entities. The Central Bank regulates the provision of positive credit history information by financial institutions to such databases and the sharing of such information, such provision and sharing being subject to the express request or authorization of the client.

 

Consumer Protection Code

 

The Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (CDC) sets forth consumer defense and protection rules applicable to consumers’ relationships with suppliers of products or services. Brazilian higher courts understand that the CDC is also applicable to financial institutions.

 

The basic consumer rights dealing with financial institutions are as follows:

 

·reverse burden of proof in court;
·financial institutions must ensure that proper and clear information is provided with respect to the different products and services offered, with accurate specifications for quantity, characteristics, composition, quality, and price, as well as on any risks such products pose;
·financial institutions are prohibited from releasing misleading or abusive publicity or information about their contracts or services, as well as promoting overbearing or disloyal commercial practices;
·financial institutions are liable for any damages caused to their consumers by misrepresentations in their publicity or information provided;
·interest charged in connection with personal credit and consumer directed credit transactions must be proportionally reduced in case of early payment of debts;
·collection of credits cannot expose the client to embarrassment or be performed in a threatening manner; and
·amounts charged improperly may in limited circumstances have to be returned in an amount equal to twice what was paid in excess of due amounts. Such rule does not apply to cases of justifiable mistake, such as systemic failure or operational error.

 

Moreover, the Brazilian Congress is considering enacting legislation that, if signed into law as currently proposed, could have an adverse effect on us. For example, a proposed law to amend the Brazilian consumer protection code would allow courts to modify terms and conditions of credit agreements in certain circumstances, imposing specified restrictions on the collection of amounts from final consumers. In addition, local or state legislatures may, from time to time, consider bills intending to impose security measures and standards for customer services, such as limits in queues and accessibility requirements, that, if signed into law, could affect our operations. More recently, certain bills have passed (and others have been proposed) in certain Brazilian states or municipalities that impose, or aim to impose, restrictions on the ability of creditors to include the information about insolvent debtors in the records of credit protection bureaus, which could also adversely affect our ability to collect credit outstanding.

 

Regulation of Independent Auditors

 

In accordance with CMN regulation establishing the rules that govern external audit services provided to financial institutions, the financial statements and financial information of

 

 

 

  

financial institutions must be audited by independent auditors who are (i) duly registered with CVM; (ii) qualified as specialists in audit of banks by the CFC and the IBRACON; and (iii) meet the requirements that ensure auditor independence.

 

After issuing audit reports for five consecutive fiscal years, the responsible audit partner and audit team members with management responsibilities must rotate-off and cannot be part of the audit team of such institution for three consecutive fiscal years.

 

CMN regulation also prohibits the engagement and maintenance of independent auditors by financial institutions in the event that: (i) any of the circumstances of impediment or incompatibility for the provision of audit services provided for in the rules and regulations of CVM, CFC or IBRACON arise; (ii) ownership of shares of or entering into financial transactions (either asset or liability) with the audited financial institution by the audit firm or members of the audit team involved in the audit work of the financial institution; and (iii) fees payable by the institution represent 25% or more of the total annual fees of the audit firm. Additionally, the audited financial institution is prohibited from hiring partners and members of the audit team with managerial responsibilities who were involved in the audit work at the financial institution during the preceding 12 months.

 

In addition to the audit report, the independent auditor must prepare the following reports, as required by CMN regulation.

 

·an assessment of the internal controls and risk management procedures of the financial institution, including its electronic data processing system;
·a description of non-compliance with legal and regulatory provisions that have, or may have, a significant impact on the audited financial statements or operations of the audited financial institution; and
·others reports required by Central Bank.

 

These reports, as well as working papers, correspondence, service agreements and other documents related to the audit work must retained and made available to the Central Bank for at least five years.

 

Under Brazilian law, our financial statements must be prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank. We also prepare financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by IASB. Financial institutions must have their financial statements audited every six months. Quarterly financial statements filed with CVM must be reviewed by independent auditors of the financial institutions. CVM rules require publicly-held companies, including financial institutions, to disclose information related to non-audit services provided by independent auditors when they represent more than 5% of the fees for audit services. Such information should include the type of service, the amount paid and the percentage that they represent of the fees for audit of financial statements..

 

Taxation

 

We summarize below the main taxes levied on the transactions entered into by entities in the Itaú Unibanco Group in Brazil. This description does not represent a comprehensive analysis of all tax considerations applicable to the Itaú Unibanco Group. For a more in-depth analysis, we recommend that potential investors consult their own tax advisors. The main taxes we are subject to, with respective rates, are as follows:

 

Tax Rate Tax calculation basis
IRPJ (Corporate Income Tax) 15.0% plus a 10.0% surtax Net income with adjustments (exclusions, additions, and deductions)
CSLL (Social Contribution on Net Income) 20.0% (financial institutions, insurance companies and capitalization entities) or 9.0% (other Itaú Unibanco Group companies) Net income with adjustments (exclusions, additions, and deductions)

 

 

 

  

COFINS (Social Security Financing Contribution) 4.0% (financial institutions, insurance companies and capitalization entities) or  7.6% (other Itaú Unibanco Group companies) Gross revenue minus specific deductions
PIS (Contribution on Social Integration Program) 0.65% (financial institutions, insurance companies and capitalization entities) or 1.65% (other Itaú Unibanco Group companies) Gross revenue minus specific deductions
ISS (Service Tax) 2.0% to 5.0% Price of service rendered
IOF (Tax on Financial Transactions) Depends on the type of the transaction, as described below. Transaction nominal value

 

Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income

 

In accordance with applicable legislation, corporate income tax (Imposto de Renda da Pessoa Jurídica, or IRPJ), and social contribution on profits (Contribuição Social Sobre o Lucro Líquido, or CSLL) are determined by the taxable income regime. Under this regime, our taxable income, on which IRPJ and CSLL will be levied, must be adjusted by additions, deductions, and exclusions, such as nondeductible expenses, operating costs and equity accounting, respectively.

 

The IRPJ is levied at a basic 15.0% rate, and a 10.0% surtax is applicable when the total amount of profit for the fiscal period exceeds R$20,000 per month or R$240,000 per year. In other words, any portion of our profit exceeding this limit is taxed at an effective 25.0% rate.

 

CSLL is currently levied on our taxable income at a 20.0% rate, which is specific for financial institutions, insurance and similar companies. Note that this tax is generally levied at a 9.0% for non-financial legal entities. Nonetheless, the Federal Government increased such a rate initially to 15.0%, and then to 20.0%. Despite such increase, some Brazilian financial institutions, including us, are disputing the constitutionality of this higher CSLL tax rate. The amounts in dispute are accounted for as a tax liability provision in our balance sheet. In regard to this matter, it is worth mentioning that on the same rule that increased CSLL from 15.0% to 20.0% (Law 13,169), the Federal Government also determined that, as from January 1, 2019, the CSLL rate will be reduced to 15.0%.

 

As other Brazilian legal entities, our companies may offset the historical nominal amount of tax losses determined in prior years against results of subsequent years at any time (i.e., with no limitations with respect to time periods), provided that such offsetting does not exceed 30.0% of the annual taxable income of such future year. For purposes of IRPJ and CSLL taxation, companies should consider their income abroad as well rather than income solely from Brazilian operations. Therefore, profits, capital gains and other income earned abroad by Itaú Unibanco Group entities in Brazil, their branches, representations, affiliates or subsidiaries, will also be computed for determination of the entities net income. However, Brazilian legislation provides for our deducting the amounts paid as corporate income tax abroad against the IRPJ due in Brazil and CSLL, provided certain limits are observed.

 

Income Tax for Individuals and Foreign Investors

 

On September 22, 2015, the President of Brazil enacted Provisional Measure No. 692, or MP 692, converted into Law No. 13,259 of March 16, 2016, which aimed at increasing the flat 15% rate of the income tax levied on capital gains derived by individuals, certain corporations and foreign investors (individuals and corporations) as a result of the disposal of assets and rights in general exceeding R$5 million, by adopting a system of progressive rates that may reach a 22.5% tax rate (for positive results exceeding R$30 million). Since capital gains arising from transactions executed through a securities exchange are subject to specific tax rules, which are not included under the scope of Law No. 13,259, it is possible to sustain the position that the provisions of this rule should not apply to such transactions. This rule applies since

 

 

 

  

January 1, 2017. If the stockholder is a resident of or domiciled in a tax haven jurisdiction or a privileged tax regime, the capital gains are still subject to the withholding income tax at a 25% rate.

 

Integration Program and Social Security Financing Contribution

 

In addition to IRPJ and CSLL, Brazilian legal entities are subject to the following taxes on revenue: contribution on social integration program (Contribuição Para o Programa da Integração Social, or PIS) and social security financing contribution (Contribuição Social Para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social, or COFINS).

 

In accordance with applicable legislation, financial institutions are subject to the cumulative regime for calculation of these taxes. Under the cumulative regime, financial institutions are required to pay PIS at a 0.65% rate and COFINS at a 4.0% rate. The cumulative regime provides for rates lower than those levied under the non-cumulative regime, which is explained below, but it prevents the use of tax credits.

 

Some additional deductions are legally permitted to financial institutions, and therefore the calculation basis is similar to the profit margin. Some of our subsidiaries claim that the PIS and COFINS should be levied only on their revenue from the sale of products and services, rather than on the revenues from financial and other activities. The amounts in dispute are accounted for as tax contingencies in the balance sheets of these companies.

 

Most non-financial companies, on the other hand, are authorized to pay PIS and COFINS contributions according to the non-cumulative regime. Under the non-cumulative regime, PIS is levied at a 1.65% rate and COFINS is levied at a 7.6% rate. The calculation basis of these taxes is the gross revenue earned by the entity; however, the taxpayer may offset credits calculated through the application of the same rates on the value paid on the purchase of certain inputs used in the entity’s production process. Currently, under such non-cumulative regime, the financial income of non-financial companies is subject to PIS and COFINS at the rate of 0.65% and 4%, respectively, except for income from interest on capital, wich is subjected to PIS and COFINS at the rate of 1.65% and 7.6%, respectively.

 

Service Tax

 

The tax on services (Imposto Sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza, or ISS) is generally levied on the price of services rendered (e.g., banking services) and is charged by the municipality where our branch or office rendering the service is located. The tax rates vary from 2.0% up to the maximum rate of 5.0%, depending on the municipality in which the service is provided and its respective nature.

 

A new tax law enacted on December 30, 2016 effected a number of changes with respect to the Brazilian tax on service ISS. Among a series of modifications to the ISS, the new law introduced a minimum tax rate of 2%. The original proposed legislation approved by the Brazilian Congress provided changes related to ISS assessment on new activities such as credit card and leasing operations but the President vetoed these changes. Following the legislative procedure, there is a possibility that the Brazilian Congress overturns the presidential veto

 

Tax on Financial Transactions

 

The tax on financial transactions is levied at specific rates according to the transaction in question, and may be changed by a decree from the executive branch (which may become effective as of its publication date), rather than by a law enacted by the Brazilian Congress.

 

The following table summarizes the main IOF rates levied on our transactions. Notwithstanding, we note that IOF is a very comprehensive tax. Therefore, for a more in-depth analysis, we recommend that tax advisors be consulted accordingly.

 

 

 

  

Type of
transaction
Applicable Rates
(Rates may be changed by a decree enacted by the Brazilian government up to a maximum rate, as described below, which may become effective as of its publication date)
Foreign exchange transactions IOF/FX: zero to 6.38% (depending on the transaction)
Maximum rate: 25%
Insurance transactions IOF/Insurance: zero to 7.38%
Maximum rate: 25%
Loans and credit transactions IOF/Credit: 0.0082% (individual) or 0.0041% (legal entities) per day, until it reaches 365 days, plus a flat 0.38% rate
Maximum rate: 1.5% per day
Securities IOF/Securities: zero to 1.5% as a general rule (possible to be higher)
Maximum rate: 1.5% per day
Securities – Derivatives

IOF/Securities - Derivatives: zero

Maximum rate: 25%

 

b) The issuer’s environmental policy and costs incurred in complying with environmental regulation and, if applicable, with other environmental practices, including adherence to international environmental protections standards

 

Our operations (management of administrative buildings and branch network) comply with all state and federal environmental regulations. We operate in accordance with the Policy for Sustainability and Social Environmental Policy, which sets forth the guidelines on environmental aspects, as follows:

·supporting market mechanisms and internal policies to promote respect for the environment, quality of life and biodiversity conservation;
·developing and improving mechanisms and internal policies to manage indirect environmental impacts of financial operations;
·mitigating direct environmental impacts of operations.

 

Ecoefficiency

 

We understand that although we are a service company our activities impact the environment, through the operation of administrative units, branch network, and technology centers. Our main sources of electricity and water consumption, for example, come from the use of cooling systems and electronic equipment. Ongoing efforts to improve our energy efficiency through the best market practices, ambitious goals and an increasingly robust management of natural resources consumption are in place.

 

Noteworthy in 2016 was our achieving the GOLD seal of the LEED certification type O+M (Operation and Maintenance) for Edifício Faria Lima 3500, one more top environmental certification to add to the LEED NC (New Construction) certification we achieved for the CTMM (Mogi Mirim Technology Center). This certification acknowledges a more efficient management and operation of the entrepreneurship, by reducing the consumption of natural resources and other impacts generated by a building of such a size. In addition, we renewed our ISO 14001 certification for the Tatuapé Administrative Center, and as a result we now have three administrative complexes that are environmentally certified (LEED or ISO 14001 certifications).

 

Water

 

In 2016 we experienced an improved water shortage scenario, as compared to the previous year. We proceed with our emergency response plan to the emergency water and electricity scenario, designed in 2014, to ensure the supply and continuity of the bank’s business, by simulating actions, defining strategies, and monitoring the water management in our operations.

 

For a more efficient and aware consumption, we implemented or proceeded with a number of actions, seeking to act preventively and carrying out periodic equipment maintenance procedures.

 

 

 

  

In 2016 our facilities (administrative centers, technology centers, and branch network) consumed 1,410,592.40 cubic meters of water. This is a decrease of approximately 4 % from the figures in 2015.

 

Our reused water consumption totaled 94,051.4 cubic meters. Our reused water consumption decreased 32% from the 2015 figures. The decommissioning of the CAR (Raposo Administrative Center) has contributed to that result, as it was one of the complexes that made use of this resource.

 

Energy

As our operations are greatly dependent on electricity availability, we continually seek to increase energy efficiency through in-company projects and consumption reduction targets.

We developed a number of initiatives and projects over 2016 that contributed to a more efficient energy management, making it possible to meet our commitments entered into in 2015.

 

After the CTMM (Mogi Mirim Technology Center) was implemented, we felt the need to revise the infrastructure of other data center buildings, which led to terminating the activities of the CAS (Campinas Alternative Center) in December 2016 and of the CAR (Raposo Administrative Center) in June 2016. This decommissioning has contributed to a 16% reduction in energy consumption of our data centers, equivalent to approximately 30,000 MWh.

 

Noteworthy is that 89% of all electricity consumption of administrative buildings come from renewable sources, such as small hydroelectric, wind and sun power plants. Our target for 2020 is to expand the use of energy from renewable sources to 96% (including all administrative buildings, data centers and the wholesale segment buildings).

 

Emissions

 

We understand the relevance of knowing, measuring, and managing the impact of our operation. Therefore, for over eight years, we have carried out the inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, based on the methodology used by the GHG Protocol Brazilian Program, which is assessed by an independent third-party and granted recognition with the Gold Seal award.

 

In addition, in 2015 we offset our Scope 1 (total) and Scope 2 emissions for the CTMM only, under a program with biannual frequency, which has enabled us to already offset the volume of 47,332.33 tCO2e, if we include the emissions since 2012.

 

Itaú Unibanco is also signatory to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and for the third consecutive year it was recognized by the CPF Latin America as the Leading Companies in Transparence, in accordance with its global scoring methodology applied to the 2016 Edition of the “Climate Change” questionnaire, in addition to making up the ISE, ICO2 and DJSI portfolios, which report our emissions on a yearly basis.

 

Therefore, we have implemented measures to directly or indirectly reduce emissions of greenhouse gas and other pollutants associated to our business.

 

In 2016, our Scope 1 emissions increased 13.04% as a result of a higher usage of an aircraft of our own and the volume of replacement of cooling gas used in cooling systems due to scheduled maintenance for improvement of the system performance.

 

The main source of our Scope 1 emissions are generators, which, during testing or in the event of shortage of electricity, are turned on to ensure 100% of availability for our facilities and the continuity of our business.

 

We recorded a significant reduction of 41.58% in our Scope 2 emissions in 2016, due to the reduction in electricity consumption in our units (branches, administrative buildings, and data

 

 

 

  

centers) and the reduction in the national grid’s emissions factor by over 30%, as compared to the previous year. In 2016, total volume of Scope 2 emissions was 54,340 tCO2e.

 

Our Scope 3 emissions reduced 13.64%, totaling 99,556 tCO2e. This reduction is due to a decrease in air trips and in view of the aforementioned operational changes to increase transportation efficiency.

 

Transportation

 

Control over data related to air and ground transportation includes information on civil aviation, taxis, vans, buses and executive vehicles used by our employees. Information is provided by service providers and reported, consolidated and stored by Itaú management, thus ensuring we have accurate information.

 

We determine the transportation tCO² emissions on a monthly basis, which enables us a quarterly monitoring of the target and an efficient management of the actions within the calculation period.

 

For a more efficient and real time management, the organization's managers are provided with an online managerial panel that includes consumption indicators (volume/cost) related to trips by plane and taxi made by employees.

 

From 2016, the operational management of trips by plane made by the Wholesale segment’s employees was incorporated into the current management of Itaú’s other areas.

Banks interact with all economic sectors, and therefore they have significant power to influence positive changes in society. We, from Itaú, which mission is to be a leader in sustainable performance, integrate social and environmental issues into our business, taking into account the needs of our clients and employees, civil society and regulatory bodies.

 

In the last 16 years, we have developed and taken part in a number of initiatives to reduce risks and take advantage of environmental and social opportunities. We have created strategies, routines, processes and products, adopted specific policies and adhered to volunteer commitments, such as PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment), EP (Equator Principles), CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) and the Global Compact, which guide our business and institutional practices.

 

We publish the Consolidated Annual Report, which follows the AA100 and GRI principles for stakeholders engagement. All relevant information on Sustainability management and the main results of each year are included in this document.

 

To access information on 2016, please access www.itau.com.br/relatorio-anual.

 

b) the methodology followed in the preparation of this information

 

We prepare the Consolidated Annual Report, we follow Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and AA100 principles for stakeholders engagement.

 

The project is conducted by a work group, composed of the Corporate Communication, Finance, Marketing, Investor Relations and Sustainability areas. It is responsible for carrying out the creation process of the bank’s Materiality and for submitting it for approval from the proper authority levels.

 

The Social and Environmental Risk topic is part of the "Risk and Capital Management", considered a priority by the bank.

 

The purpose of our social and environmental risk management is to identify, measure, mitigate, and monitor risks. We understand the social and environmental risks are a component of other types of risks our business is subject to, such as credit, reputation and legal risks. To mitigate these risks, we take initiatives to interact with the areas involved in the process, such as training sessions, workshops and lectures. In addition, we adopt measures to improve control based on the results of adherence tests periodically reported to the Social and Environmental Risk Committee, which is part of our Sustainability Governance.

 

In 2014, CVM Instruction No. 4,327 required that all financial institutions prepare social and environmental responsibility policies, which should include measures of risk management, governance and relationship of stakeholders.

 

Our Policy for Sustainability and Social Environmental Responsibility ratifies the guidelines and principles of inclusion of ESG issues in our business practices, activities and operations (from the head office to branches and data centers). We also have social and environmental policies specific for each business, such as credit (Corporate, Middle Market, Retail, Mortgage and Vehicle Financing), insurance and investments, always based on relevance and proportionality principles. To disseminate the guidelines of the policy, we give training in these areas for all involved employees. For this policy, access: https://www.itau.com.br/_arquivosestaticos/RI/pdf/pt/DOC_RI_POLITICA_DE_SUSTENTABILIDADE_DEZ_2016.pdf?title=Pol%C3%ADtica%20de%20Sustentabilidade%20e%20Responsabilidade%20Socioambiental

 

As part of the risk analysis monitoring process, our areas are subject to Internal Auditing. These audits are carried out by a team that evaluates, among other issues, compliance with the Policy for Sustainability and Social Environmental Responsibility and the commitments and volunteer agreements we entered into, such as the Equator Principles, associated with Project Finance.

 

All our business lines are guided by a list of restricted activities, a list of forbidden activities, conformity with environmental licensing, inclusion of social and environmental contractual clauses and rules specific for pledging real estate collateral.

ITEM 10 COMMENTS OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

10.1. Executive officers should comment on:

 

a) Financial and equity positions in general

 

Domestic Scenario

 

In the domestic scenario, GDP continued to fall in 2016, posting a 3.6% drop. The unemployment rate grew to 12.0% in December 2016 from 9.0% in December 2015. The primary deficit continued in a downward trend between 2015 and 2016, increasing 2.5% of GDP in 2016, compared to 1.9% of GDP in 2015.

 

The current account deficit, in turn, continues to fall due to a downturn in the economic activity. The deficit in external accounts dropped to 1.3% of GDP in 2016 from 3.3% of GDP in 2015. The inflation rate for 2016 was 6.3%. The Central Bank of Brazil reduced interest to 12.25% in February 2017.

 

The US dollar closed 2016 at R$3.26, below the R$3.96 recorded in December 2015. Brazil’s international reserves amounted to US$370 billion.

 

Latin America Scenario (ex-Brazil)

 

In Latin America, commodities-exporting countries continue to grow at low rates, in spite of a slight recent recovery in the prices of the major raw materials exploited in the region.

 

The downturn in economic activity and the reduced fiscal revenues related to lower prices of commodities are causing governments of the region to cut costs and adopt measures to raise revenues, thus seeking to preserve sovereign ratings. The monetary policy is becoming increasingly expansionist, except for Mexico, in view of lower rates of inflation combined with poor growth. Lower interest rates in Colombia, Argentina, and Chile are expected for 2017.

 

In Argentina, adjustments to relative prices led to GDP falling in 2016 (estimated at -2.4%) and high inflation (41%), even though we have noted a certain economic improvement in the margin. In Uruguay, the economic activity strongly slowed down in 2015 and 2016, partially due to recession scenarios in Brazil and Argentina. Paraguay's macroeconomic fundamentals remain solid, with low inflation, strong growth and well-organized public finance. The Chilean economy was impacted by the end of the commodities cycle, which resulted in lower fiscal revenues, fall in investments and decreased national revenues. The Colombian authorities approved a structural tax reform aimed at making up for the loss of oil-related revenues.

 

International Scenario

 

The U.S. labor market continued to grow strong in 2016 and in early 2017. Approximately 2.35 million jobs were created in the last 12 months up to February 2017, and unemployment rate dropped to 4.7% in February 2017 from 5.0% in December 2015. This improvement came along with the 1.6% growth in GDP in 2016.

 

For comparison purposes, GDP of the Euro zone and Japan increased 1.7% and 1.0%, respectively. China’s GDP grew 6.7% in 2016, halting the economy slowdown recorded in the previous year. This stabilization in growth gives rise to an environment favorable for emerging commodity-exporting economies, including Latin America countries.

c) Payment capability in relation to the financial commitments assumed

 

We ensure full payment capability in relation to the financial commitments assumed and we manage our liquidity reserves based on estimates of funds that will be available for investment, considering business continuation in normal conditions.

 

Liquidity risk control is carried out by an area independent from the business areas, and is responsible for defining the constitution of a reserve, proposing assumptions for behavior of cash flow in different time horizons, proposing limits for liquidity risk and monitoring established limits consistent with the risk appetite of the institution, informing on possible non-compliance, considering the liquidity risks individually in countries where we operate, simulating the behavior of cash flows under stress conditions, assessing and reporting risks inherent in new products and transactions on a timely basis, and reporting information required by regulatory bodies. Every activity is subject to analysis by independent areas of validation, internal controls and audit.

Some of our long-term debt allows for the acceleration of the principal outstanding balance in the event of certain specified events ordinarily included in long-term financing agreements. Until December 31, 2016, there was no acceleration of the principal outstanding balance arising from any of these events.

 

Under Brazilian law, cash dividends may only be paid if the subsidiary paying such dividends has reported a profit in its financial statements. In addition, subsidiaries that are financial institutions are prohibited from making loans to Itaú Unibanco, but are allowed to make deposits in Itaú Unibanco, by means of Interbank Deposit Certificates (CDIs). These restrictions have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on our ability to meet our cash obligations.

e) Sources of financing for working capital and investments in non-current assets that the Issuer intends to use to cover liquidity deficiencies

 

Our Board of Directors determines our policy regarding liquidity risk management, and establishes broad quantitative liquidity risk management limits in line with our risk appetite. The Superior Market and Liquidity Risk Committee (“CSRML”), previously called Superior Institutional Treasury and Liquidity Committee (CSTIL), composed of members of senior management, is responsible for the strategic liquidity risk management in line with the board-approved liquidity risk framework and our declared risk appetite. In establishing our guidelines, the CSRML considers the liquidity implications of each market segment and product. The institutional treasury unit of Itaú Unibanco is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate’s liquidity profile, within the parameters set by the Board of Directors and the CSRML. This includes oversight responsibility with respect to all business units operating outside of Brazil.

 

We maintain separate liquidity pools at our Brazilian operations and at each of our subsidiaries in Latin America and Europe. Our Brazilian operations include the financial institutions in Brazil and the entities used by the Brazilian operations for funding and serving their clients abroad. Each subsidiary in Latin America (e.g., in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Paraguay) and in Europe has its own treasury functions with appropriate autonomy to manage liquidity according to local needs and regulations, while remaining in compliance with the liquidity limits established by Itaú Unibanco senior management. In general, there are rarely liquidity transfers between subsidiaries or between the head office and a subsidiary, except under very specific circumstances (e.g., targeted capital increases). Brazil, Argentina, the United Kingdom and Colombia are the only countries in which we operate where local regulators have established local minimum liquidity levels.

 

CMN regulation also establishes capital conservation and countercyclical buffers for Brazilian financial institutions, and determines their minimum percentages and any sanctions and limitations it will apply in case of non-compliance with such additional requirements.

 

We define our consolidated group operational liquidity reserve as the total amount of assets that can be rapidly turned into cash, based on local market practices and legal regulations. This reserve generally includes cash and deposits on demand, and unencumbered government securities, whether these are own portfolio or funded positions of securities purchased under agreements to resell.

 

The following table presents our operational liquidity reserve on December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

 

                            In millions of R$  
   As of December 31,   2016 Average

Management controls our liquidity reserves by projecting the funds that will be available for investment by our treasury department. The technique we employ involves the statistical projection of scenarios for our assets and liabilities, considering the liquidity profiles of our counterparties.

 

Short-term minimum liquidity limits are defined according to guidelines set by the CSRML. These limits aim to ensure that the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate always has sufficient liquidity available to cover unforeseen

 

 

 

 

market events. These limits are periodically revised, based on the projection of cash needs in atypical market situations (stress scenarios).

 

Management of liquidity makes it possible for us to simultaneously meet our operating requirements, protect our capital and exploit market opportunities. Our strategy is to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our present and future financial obligations and to capitalize on potential business opportunities.

  

We are exposed to the effects of disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets and the economies in those countries where we do business, especially Brazil. However, due to our stable sources of funding, which include a large deposit base and a large number of correspondent banks with which we have long-standing relationships, as well as facilities in place, which enable us to access further funding when required, we have not historically experienced liquidity challenges, even during periods of disruption in the international financial markets.

 

Should the liquidity reserve reach a level below the minimum set by the Board and Superior Committees, the Liquidity Crisis Committee is convened to put the Institutional Treasury Contingency Plan into action. This Committee is composed of (i) the Vice-President of the Institutional Treasury Committee; (ii) the Banking Treasury Officer; (iii) the Liquidity Risk Superintendent; and (iv) the Market and Liquidity Risk Officer. Previously approved actions by the Board of Directors include (i) raising funds in the domestic and foreign markets; (ii) non-renewal of assets; (iii) realization of sale agreements and sale of securities; and (iv) releasing the margin arising from reducing positions on the BM&FBovespa.

 

In the second quarter of 2016, we started to report the average of the period for our liquidity coverage ratio, which is calculated based on the methodology established by BACEN Circular No. 3,749, in line with international guidelines. The LCR is a ratio that that refers to free and highly liquid assets and net cash outflows over a 30-day period. The minimum required by the Central Bank of Brazil in 2016 was 70%, and, in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company’s average ratio was 212.8%.

III - Level of subordination of debts

 

In the case of judicial or extrajudicial liquidation of the Issuer, there is an order of priority as to the repayment to the many creditors of the bankrupt estate. Particularly in relation to debts comprising the Issuer’s indebtedness, the following order of repayment must be followed: secured debts, unsecured debts, and subordinated debt eligible to make up the Tier II of the issuer’s Referential Equity, and subordinated debt eligible to make up the Tier I of the Issuer’s Referential Equity. It is worth mentioning that creditors with secured debts have priority in relation to the others up to the limit of the asset pledged in guarantee, and they are deemed unsecured creditors in relation to the remaining. Although there is no subordination among the many unsecured creditors, as there is no subordination among the same type of subordinated debt, creditors with subordinated debt have priority to make up the Tier II of the Issuer’s Referential Equity in relation to the creditors with subordinated debt eligible to make up the Tier I of the Issuer's Referential Equity.

IV - Any restrictions imposed on the Issuer, in particular in relation to limits for indebtedness and contracting new debt, the distribution of dividends, disposal of assets, issuance of new securities and disposal of shareholding control, as well as whether the Issuer is complying with these restrictions.

 

In March 2010, Itaú Unibanco established a program for the issuance and distribution of notes through certain financial intermediaries (the “Program“). The Program, as currently existing, establishes that the Issuer itself, or its Cayman Islands branch, may issue senior or subordinated notes, the latter of which are eligible, according to its terms, to make up the Tier I or Tier II of the Issuer's Referential Equity (“Notes“) up to the limit of US$100,000,000,000.00 (one hundred billion U.S. dollars).

 

The Program contains financial covenants that determine the early repayment of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events, also known as Events of Default, as is ordinarily included in long-term financing contracts. The Events of Default applicable to the Senior Notes issued under the Program are: (i) failure to pay any amounts due in respect of the Notes (Non-payment); (ii) failure to perform or comply with any material obligation which is not a financial obligation to pay any amounts under the Notes (Breach of other obligations); (iii) acceleration or failure to pay any other indebtedness of Itaú Unibanco in an amount equal or greater than 0.8% of its regulatory capital (cross default); (iv) dissolution and insolvency of Itaú Unibanco; and (v) any events analogous to the previous items. The Events of Default applicable to the Subordinated Notes issued under the Program up to August 4, 2016 are: (i) failure to pay any amounts due under the Notes (Non-payment); (ii) dissolution and insolvency; and (iii) any events analogous to the previous items.

 

On August 4, 2016, the Program was amended to conform to the provisions of CMN Resolution No. 4,192, of March 1, 2013. Any Subordinated Notes issued after that date are subject to permanent termination in the following events: (i) the Issuer disclosing that its Core Principal is at a level lower than 5.125% (for Subordinated Notes eligible to make up the Tier I of the Issuer’s Referential Equity) or 4.5% (for Subordinated Notes eligible to make up the Tier II of the Issuer’s Referential Equity) of their risk-weighted assets (RWA); (ii) execution of a commitment to contribute funds to the Issuer, if the exception provided for in the heading of Article 28 of Complementary Law No. 101, of May 4, 2000, occurs; (iii) the Central Bank of Brazil determines either a special temporary administration or intervention in the Issuer; or (iv) the Central Bank of Brazil determines the extinction of Subordinated Notes, according to criteria set forth by the National Monetary Council. Additionally, Subordinated Notes eligible to make up the Tier I of the Issuer’s Referential Equity set forth, as follows: (i) payment of any related interest earned only through funds from profits and revenue reserves subject to distribution in the last calculation period; (ii) suspension of the payment of any related interest earned (a) exceeding the amounts available for this purpose; (b) in the same proportion of the restriction imposed by the Central Bank of Brazil to the dividend distribution or other results related to shares eligible to the Issuer’s Core Capital; (c) in the same percentages of retention as the amount payable or distributable as (x) variable compensation to management members; and (y) dividends and interest on capital, in view of any insufficient Additional Core Capital. Regarding the aforementioned events, any compensation of which payment is suspended will be deemed terminated. None of situations above described will be deemed as a Default Event or another factor giving rise to debt acceleration in any legal business in which the Issuer takes part.

 

Default Events applicable to Subordinated Notes eligible to make up the Tier II of the Issuer’s Referential Equity issued after August 4, 2016 are as follows: (i) failure to pay any amounts due in respect of the Notes (Non-payment), even though its occurrence will not lead to the acceleration of the outstanding balance of these Notes; (ii) dissolution and Insolvency; and (iii) any events analogous to the previous items.

 

On December 31, 2016, none of the previously described financial covenants was breached and there was no failure to pay any financial obligation assumed under the Program.

 

To date, the following issuances (the “Issuances“) have been completed in accordance with the Program:

 

(i) First Issuance: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,000,000,000.00 (one billion US dollars) issued on April 15, 2010, with maturity on April 15, 2020, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange;

 

 

 

 

(ii) Second Issuance: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,000,000,000.00 (one billion US dollars) issued on September 23, 2010, with maturity on January 22, 2021, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange;

These Subordinated Notes were issued and distributed by reopening the second issuance of Subordinated Notes and are the second series of the second issuance of Subordinated Notes under the Program.

2015, and increasingly prioritized portfolios with lower risk and more guarantees. Loans to companies, ex-Latin America, totaled R$180,325 million, down 17.3% from December 31, 2015.

In 2016, the portfolio of loan operations in Latin

 

America increased 86.5% from 2015, mainly driven by the effect of the consolidation of Itaú CorpBanca in our financial statements as of the second quarter of 2016.

On December 31, 2016, total deposits increased 12.6% from the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by the increase in time deposits, partially offset by decreases in interbank and savings deposits. The balance of deposits at the end of 2015 decreased 0.7% from December 31, 2014, due to lower interbank and savings deposits.

 

Stockholders’ equity totaled R$115,590 million in 2016, compared to R$106,462 at the end of 2015 and R$95,848 million in 2014, increasing 8.6% compared to 2015 and 11.1% in the comparison of 2015 related to 2014. These variations for 2016, 2015, and 2014 are due to the results for the periods.

   Year ended December 31 
   2016   2015   2014   Variation   Variation 
   (In millions of R$)   2016 - 2015   2015 - 2014 
Income before income tax and social contribution   35,958    14,740    27,245    144.0%   -45.9%
Charges (income tax and social contribution) at the rates in effect Increase/decrease to income tax and social contribution charges arising from:   (16,181)   (6,142)   (10,898)   163.4%   -43.6%
(Additions) exclusions   1,971    15,357    4,461    -87.2%   244.3%
Foreign exchange variation on investments abroad   (4,313)   8,329    1,471    -151.8%   466.2%
Interest on capital   3,617    2,585    1,738    39.9%   48.7%
Dividends, interest on external debt bonds   365    271    311    34.6%   -12.9%
(Expenses)/Income from deferred taxes   (9,707)   17,778    1,280    -154.6%   1289.1%

Total income tax and social contribution expenses   (14,210)   9,215    (6,437)   -254.2%   -243.2%

 

Total tax on income is composed of current income tax and deferred tax. Certain amounts of income and expenses are recognized in the income statement but do not affect our taxable basis; on the other hand, certain amounts are treated as taxable income or deductible expenses in determining our taxes on income, but do not affect our income statement. These items are known as “permanent differences.” For Brazilian tax purposes, exchange rate gains and losses on our investments in subsidiaries abroad are not taxable if they represent a gain, or are not deductible if they represent a loss, but instead they constitute permanent differences. From an economic perspective, we hedge our investments in subsidiaries abroad by using foreign currency denominated liabilities or derivative instruments. Gains or losses on derivative instruments and exchange rate gains and losses on foreign currency denominated liabilities are taxable or deductible for Brazilian taxes purposes.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2016, income tax and social contribution totaled an expense of R$14,210 million compared to a positive amount of R$9,215 million in 2015. In 2015, the positive amount of income tax and social contribution is due to the effect of the foreign exchange variation on the hedge of our investments abroad (since the exchange variation on these investments is not taxable, but the results of the hedge is taxable) and to the increase in the balance of tax credit due to the social contribution rate increase, from 15% to 20%, as established by Provisional Measure No. 675/15 of May 2015 (converted into Law No. 13,169/15 in October 2015). For further information, see Note 14(a) to the consolidated annual financial statements.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2015, income tax and social contribution totaled positive R$9,215 million, compared to an expense of R$6,437 million in 2014.

 

 

 

 

Profit Sharing

 

Profit sharing of our management members increased 4.7%, from R$239 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to R$251 million in 2016, an R$11 million increase.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2015, profit sharing of our management members decreased 8.2%, from R$261 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 to R$239 million.

 

Minority Interest in Subsidiaries

 

Results from minority interest in subsidiaries in subsidiaries went from an R$356 million expense in the year ended December 31, 2015 to a positive amount of R$141 million in 2016, mainly influenced by the result of Itaú CorpBanca.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2015, results from minority interest in subsidiaries increased from an expense of R$305 million in 2014 to an expense of R$356 million, a 16.7% or R$51 million increase, mainly arising from the results of Banco Itaú BMG Consignado (joint venture) and of Financeira Itaú S.A. Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento.

 

b) Changes in revenue arising from changes in prices, foreign exchange rates, inflation, volumes and the introduction of new products and services

 

Our operations depend on the performance of the countries with which we do business, mainly the Brazilian one. The demand for loans, financial services and the creditworthiness of our clients are directly impacted by macroeconomic variables, such as the economic activity, income, unemployment, inflation, and interest and exchange rate variations. Changes in interest rates may significantly affect our net margins, since they influence our funding and lending costs. We point out that the main variations in income are explained in item 10.2a of this Manual.

 

c) Impact of inflation, changes in the prices of main inputs and products, foreign exchange rates and interest rates on operating and financial income and expenses of the Issuer, if relevant

 

In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 475/08, we carried out a sensitivity analysis per market risk factors considered relevant. The highest resulting losses, per risk factor in each of the scenarios, were presented together with their impact on income, net of tax effects, to provide a view of our exposure in exceptional scenarios.

 

The market risk structure segregates its operations between trading and banking books, according to the general criteria established by CMN Resolution No. 3,464/07 and BACEN Circular No. 3,354/07.

 

The sensitivity analyses of the trading and banking books, shown below, represent a steady assessment of the portfolio exposure and therefore do not consider the dynamic response capacity of management (in the treasury and control areas) to put mitigating measures into effect whenever a situation of loss or high risk is identified, thus minimizing the possibility of significant losses. In addition, we would highlight that the results presented will not necessarily translate into accounting results, because the study's sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risks and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by the Company.

 

The trading portfolio consists of all transactions with financial instruments and commodities, including trading derivatives.

Scenario I: Addition of one basis point in fixed interest rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes, and one percentage point in currency and share prices;

 

Scenario II: Shocks of 25 percent in interest fixed rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both for growth and fall, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor;

 

Scenario III: Shocks of 50 percent in interest fixed rates, currency coupon, inflation, interest rate indexes and currency and share prices, both for growth and fall, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

Our Consolidated Value at Risk (VaR) is calculated using the historical simulation methodology. This methodology fully reprices all positions by using the actual historical distribution of assets. From January 1 to December 31, 2016, total average Value at Risk (VaR) amounted to R$236.6 million, or 0.18%, of total stockholders’ equity (for the whole 2015 it was R$207.0 million, or 0.18%, of total stockholders’ equity).

 

The structural gap, composed of commercial transactions and the respective financial instruments, has historically remained stable and with small variations, being primarily composed of assets and liabilities from our retail activities and derivatives used as hedge against the market risk of those transactions.

 

The financial margin with the market, arising from the trading of financial assets through proprietary positions, the gap management of currencies, interest rates and other risk factors, opportunities for arbitrage in foreign and domestic markets, as well as marking to market of financial assets, totaled R$6,999 million in 2016, R$6,977 million in 2015 and R$3,595 million in 2014. The financial margin of operations with the market basically arises from treasury transactions that include asset and liability management (ALM) and proprietary trading operations. The increase of R$22 million in the financial margin with the market in 2016 from 2015 was mainly driven by the management of structural positions in Brazil and abroad.

 

Additionally, we adopted a management policy for foreign exchange risk associated with our asset and liability positions that is primarily intended to mitigate impacts on consolidated results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rate parities. The Brazilian tax legislation determines that gains and losses from exchange rate variation on permanent foreign investments must not be included in the tax basis. On the other hand, gains and losses from financial instruments used to hedge such asset positions are impacted by tax effects. Therefore, in order to hedge net income from foreign exchange rate variations, a liability position must be built at a higher volume than the hedged assets.

 

Our strategy to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with the capital invested abroad is aimed at mitigating, through financial instruments, the effects from the foreign exchange variation, and includes the impact of all tax effects accordingly.

 

The table below shows asset and liability balances indexed to foreign currency as a basis for the management of foreign exchange exposure, the position of foreign exchange derivatives used to manage such position, and the asset balances related to the Brazilian currency. On December 31, 2016, the net foreign exchange position, including investments abroad, was a liability totaling US$16,090 million. We point out that the mitigation management policy we adopt takes into account the tax effects of this position. As the results of

 

 

 

 

foreign exchange variations on investments abroad are not taxed, we have set up a hedge (liability positions in foreign exchange derivatives) at a volume higher than the hedged asset, so that the total results from foreign exchange variations, net of tax effects, are practically null and thus consistent with the strategy of low risk exposure that we adopted.

a) Introduction or disposal of operating segments

 

Disclosure of Results per Segment

 

As of the first quarter of 2015, we changed the presentation of our segments for them to be consistent with the bank’s current organizational structure. The following segments will be reported: Retail Banking, Wholesale Banking and Activities with the Market + Corporation. The Retail Banking includes the previous Commercial Banking – Retail and Consumer Credit – Retail segments, with the transfer of Private Banking and Latam operations to the Wholesale Banking segment, and these are the main changes in the segment presentation.

 

The current business segments of Itaú Unibanco are described below:

 

Retail Banking: the result of the Retail Banking segment arise from the offer of products and services to retail clients, high net worth clients, and very small and small companies in branches, in addition to financial products and services offered to non-account holders, comprising vehicle financing and offering credit card services outside the branch network, and Itaú BMG Consignado operations.

 

Wholesale Banking: the result of the Wholesale Banking segment arises from: i) Itaú BBA activities, the unit in charge of commercial operations with large companies and the performance in investment banking, ii) result of our foreign units, and iii) products and services offered to middle-market companies, high-net worth clients (Private Banking), and to institutional clients.

 

Activities with the Market + Corporation: this segment records the result arising from capital surplus, subordinated debt surplus and the net balance of tax credits and debits. It also shows the financial margin with the market, Treasury operating costs, equity in earnings of companies not associated with each segment and our interest in Porto Seguro.

 

A new management structure for Itaú Unibanco

 

On November 9, the bank disclosed the succession of the current CEO, according to the transition process planned and announced to the market over two years ago. Itaú Unibanco also announced a series of changes to its Executive Committee, which is now composed of General Retail and Wholesale Managers, and three Vice-Presidents: (i) Management and Control of Risks and Finance; (ii) Technology; and (iii) Human Resources, Legal and Ombudsman, Corporate Communication and Institutional and Governmental Relations.

 

The Annual General Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 19, 2017 brought forward the reelection of Roberto Setubal and Pedro Moreira Salles, in addition to the election of Marco Bonomi to the Board of Directors. Together with Pedro Moreira Salles, Roberto Setubal will act as co-chairman of the Board of Directors of Itaú Unibanco. Until the Meeting is held, Roberto Setubal remains as the Company’s CEO.”

 

b) Incorporation, acquisition or disposal of ownership interest

 

2017

 

Acquisition of a minority interest in XP Investimentos

 

On May 11, 2017, through subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A., we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with XP Controle Participações S.A (“XP Controle”), G.A. Brasil IV Fundo de Investimento em Participações, and Dyna III Fundo de Investimento em Participações, among others (“Sellers”), through which we agreed to acquire 49.9% of total share capital (representing 30.1% of voting shares) of XP Investimentos S.A. (“XP Holding”), the holding company that consolidates all investments of XP (“XP Group”, including XP Investimentos Corretora de Câmbio, Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A. (“XP Investimentos”), by means of a capital increase in the amount of R$600 million and the acquisition of XP Holding’s shares held by the Sellers for the amount of R$5.7 billion, being such amounts subject to contractual adjustments (“First Acquisition”). The amount attributed to 100% of XP Holding’s share capital (before capital increase) is of approximately R$12 billion, which is equal to 20 times the estimated price earnings (2018).

 

 

 

 

In addition to the First Acquisition, through which we will become a minority shareholder of XP Holding, we have committed to acquire (i) in 2020, an additional percentage of 12.5% which will result in a participation of 62.4% of the total share capital of XP Holding (representing 40.0% of voting shares) based in a multiple (19 times) applied to XP Holding’s earnings, and (ii) in 2022, another additional percentage of 12.5% which will entitled us to a participation of 74.9% of the total share capital of XP Holding (representing 49.9% of the voting shares) based on the fair market value of XP Holding at that time, and it is certain that XP Controle’s shareholders will maintain the control of XP Group, including XP Investimentos, and such shareholders will hold the majority of the voting shares.

 

Furthermore, we and some of the Sellers will execute, on the closing date of the First Acquisition, a shareholders’ agreement which will include, among others, provisions regarding (a) our rights as a minority shareholder of XP Holding; (b) our right to appoint 2 out of 7 members of the Board of Directors of XP Holding, so as to guarantee the aforementioned rights; and (c) the right of (i) XP Controle to exercise, as of 2024, a put option to sell 100% of its shares in XP Holding to Itaú Unibanco; and (ii) Itaú Unibanco to exercise, as of 2033, a call option to purchase 100% of XP Controle’s shares in XP Holding. In case of the exercise of any of these options, Itaú Unibanco will acquire the control and the total equity of XP Holding.

 

The business conduction and management of all XP Group’s companies, including XP Investimentos, will continue to be fully independent, segregated and autonomous, preserving its current principles and values. XP Group’s control will continue to be held by XP Controle’s shareholders, and the current officers and executives of XP Holding, XP Investimentos and its subsidiaries will remain in charge of their respective businesses, in order to ensure that XP Investimentos continues to operate as an open and independent platform, seeking to offer a diverse range of products of its own and of third-parties to its clients, competing freely with other brokers and capital market distributors, including those controlled by Itaú Unibanco conglomerate, without any restrictions or barriers. We will act as a minority shareholder and have no influence over the commercial and operational policies of XP Investimentos or of any other XP Group’s companies, neither will we any have preference or exclusivity rights regarding the distribution of such products.

 

The consummation of the acquisitions mentioned above is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, including applicable regulatory approvals.

 

2016

 

Credit Intelligence Bureau

 

In January 2016, we announced that our subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A. entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Banco Bradesco S.A., Banco do Brasil S.A., Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. and Caixa Econômica Federal in order to create a credit intelligence bureau, or CIB. CIB will be structured as a Brazilian corporation (a corporation) and the parties to the MoU will share its control, with each of them holding a 20% equity ownership. Its board of directors will be comprised of members appointed by the parties to the MoU and its executives will be exclusively dedicated to CIB’s businesses, preserving the independent nature of CIB’s management. CIB’s technical and analytical platform will be developed and implemented through a services agreement with LexisNexis® Risk Solutions FL Inc.

 

In November 2016, CADE approved CIB’s incorporation with certain restrictions. Therefore, all the required regulatory approvals have been obtained. CIB’s incorporation is subject to the execution of definitive agreements by the parties.

 

Acquisition of Recovery do Brasil Consultoria S.A.

 

In March 2016, after obtaining regulatory authorization, we consummated the acquisition of (i) 89.08% interest in the capital stock of Recovery do Brasil Consultoria S.A., of which we purchased 81.94% from Banco BTG Pactual S.A. (BTG) and 7.14% from other shareholders, as well as (ii) approximately 70% of a portfolio of, at that time, R$38 billion in credit rights held by BTG.

 

Itaú CorpBanca

 

In April 2016, with the completion of the merger of Banco Itaú Chile with CorpBanca, we acquired control of the resulting entity named Itaú CorpBanca. On that same date, we entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement of Itaú CorpBanca (“Itaú CorpBanca’s Shareholders’ Agreement”), which entitles us to appoint, together with Corp Group, former controlling shareholder of CorpBanca, the majority of the members of Itaú CorpBanca’s board of directors. Such members are appointed according to the ownership interest of each of such parties, and we have the right to elect the majority of the members elected by this block. Also on that same date, Itaú Unibanco

 

 

 

 

consolidated Itaú CorpBanca in its financial statements, adding approximately R$115 billion of assets to its balance sheet (under BRGAAP).

 

In October 2016, we acquired 10.9 billion shares of Itaú CorpBanca for approximately R$288.1 million, as set forth in Itaú CorpBanca’s Shareholders’ Agreement, and increased from 33.58% to 35.71%, without changing the governance of Itaú CorpBanca.

 

In January 2017, we executed an amendment to the transaction agreement, which provided for (i) the postponement of the date of acquisition of the shares held by Corp Group in Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A. (“CorpBanca Colombia”) from January 29, 2017 to January 28, 2022, subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals; (ii) the modification of the previously defined structure for the combination of the operations of Itaú Unibanco and Itaú CorpBanca in Colombia, which will be implemented through a sale and purchase of assets and liabilities; and (iii) the replacement of the obligation to consummate an initial public offering (IPO) of CorpBanca Colombia for the obligation to register CorpBanca Colombia as a public company and list its shares on the Colombian stock exchange.

 

Alliance with MasterCard in the payment solutions market in Brazil

 

In May 2016, the Court of CADE approved, with certain restrictions, a 7-year term agreement between our subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A. and MasterCard Brasil Soluções de Pagamento Ltda., or MasterCard, to create an alliance in the payment solutions market in Brazil (the Strategic Alliance), to operate, through a company controlled by MasterCard, a new electronic payment network under a brand with domestic and international acceptance.

 

Sale of Group Life Insurance Business

 

In April 2017, after obtaining the required regulatory authorizations and fulfilling conditions, we consummated the sale of our group life insurance operations to Prudential do Brasil Seguros de Vida S.A. This transaction reinforces our strategy, which has already been disclosed, to focus on mass-market insurance products that are typically related to retail banking.

 

Acquisition of Citibank Retail Business in Brazil

 

In October 2016, we entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement with Citibank for the acquisition of its retail business in Brazil, including loans, deposits, credit cards, branches, on-shore wealth management and insurance brokerage, as well as of the equity investments held by Citibank in TECBAN – Tecnologia Bancária S.A. and in CIBRASEC – Companhia Brasileira de Securitização.

 

Citibank’s retail business in Brazil (which includes 71 branches) had, as of the date of execution of the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement, approximately 315,000 retail bank clients, approximately 1.1 million credit cards and a credit portfolio of approximately R$6 billion and, as of December 31, 2015, approximately R$35 billion in deposits and assets under management. We estimate that the impact on our principal capital (Tier I) resulting from this transaction would be approximately 40 basis points (utilizing the Basel III methodologies).

 

The completion of this transaction is subject to compliance with certain conditions, including obtaining approvals from the Central Bank of Brazil and CADE.

 

Acquisition of Itaú BMG Consignado Shares

 

In December 2016, after obtaining the required regulatory authorizations and fulfilling conditions, we consummated the acquisition of the totality of the equity interest held by Banco BMG in Itaú BMG Consignado S.A., corresponding to 40% of Itaú BMG Consignado’s total share capital. We paid R$1.46 billion and are now the holders of 100% of the total capital.

 

We have maintained our position as the leading institution among privately-held banks in this segment. At December 31, 2016, our payroll loan portfolio amounted to R$44.6 billion, including Itaú BMG Consignado’s operations.

 

Acquisition of Conectcar

 

On January 29, 2016, after obtaining the necessary regulatory authorizations and the fulfillment of conditions, we concluded, through our subsidiary Rede, the acquisition of 50% of the share capital of ConectCar Soluções de Mobilidade Eletrônica SA ("ConectCar" ) of Odebrecht Transport S.A., for the amount of R$ 170 million. The remaining 50% of ConectCar's capital stock is owned by Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A., a company controlled by Ultrapar Participações S.A. and the shareholders share control of ConectCar.

2014

 

Large Risk Insurance Operation

 

On October 31, 2014, following the fulfillment of certain conditions set forth in the agreement, we concluded the sale of all of the participation held by Itaú Unibanco and certain of its Affiliates in ISSC to ACE Ina International Holdings, Ltd. (“ACE”), for the amount of R$ 1.5 billion.

 

ISSC held the large risk insurance operations of Itaú Unibanco, which clients were middle-market and large companies with policies with high amounts insured.

 

The amount paid was adjusted in the amount of R$ 13.5 million on September 3, 2015 based on the difference in Net Equity positions between the pro forma balance sheet date and the closing balance sheet date.

 

This transaction had an accounting effect, before taxes, of R$1.1 billion on Itaú Unibanco’s income for the period.

General

 

Our main accounting policies are described in Note 4 to our annual consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The preparation of the financial statements involves certain assumptions that are derived from historical experience and various other factors that we deem reasonable and relevant. While we review these estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business, the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations often requires our management to make judgments on matters that are inherently uncertain. The following discussion describes the areas that require the most judgment or involve a higher degree of complexity in the application of the accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Brazilian GAAP requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the balance of assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities disclosed at the date of the financial statements, as well as the amounts disclosed for income and expenses for the same periods. These estimates and assumptions are used, for example, in the determination of useful lives for certain assets, of whether a specific asset or group of assets has been impaired, the market value of certain financial instruments and the classification and computation of contingent liabilities. The accounting estimates for these contexts require our management to make estimates on matters that are highly uncertain. In each case, if other estimates have been obtained or changes in these estimates have occurred from one period to another, our financial position and results of operations may be significantly impacted. Accordingly, actual results may differ from our estimates.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses represents our expected losses on loan. lease and other operations with credit operation characteristics at the end of each reporting period.

 

This allowance considers the minimum portion required by CMN Resolution No. 2,682 plus a complementary provision in order to ensure it is sufficient to cover any expected losses.

 

The regulatory minimum allowance is calculated based on the classification of each operation, from AA (0%) to H (100%) risk levels, and, based on the resolution guidelines, is broken down into a specific allowance (operations overdue for over 14 days or by a debtor company under reorganization with creditors or a bankruptcy process) and a generic allowance (non-overdue operations, by a debtor company not under reorganization with creditors or a bankruptcy process) of loan and lease operations, and other operations with credit operation characteristics.

 

The additional allowance includes the provision for the balance of endorsements and sureties and the additional amount, in view of the historical behavior of loan portfolios, which is based on exposure, probability of default and expected recovery of operations.

 

Further details on the methodology and assumptions used by Management are included in Note 4f, and on the allowance for loan and lease losses is included in Note 8.

 

Market Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with Brazilian GAAP and specific rules of the Central Bank of Brazil, we record some of our financial instruments at market value. Financial instruments recorded at market value in our balance sheet include mainly securities classified as trading, available for sale, and other trading assets, including derivatives.

 

 

 

 

Securities classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at their amortized cost in our balance sheet, and their corresponding market values are disclosed in the notes to our annual consolidated financial statements.

 

Market value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (market-based view) at the measurement date. We estimate market value using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, we use a variety of sources, which include broker quotes, pricing models and quoted prices of instruments with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The market value of financial instruments, including derivatives not traded in active markets, is determined by using valuation techniques. Similarly, judgment must be applied in estimating prices when no external parameters exist. Other factors that may affect estimates include incorrect model assumptions and unexpected correlations. While we believe that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies and assumptions to determine the market value of certain instruments could result in different estimates of market value at the reporting date, which might affect the amount of revenue or loss recorded for a specific asset or liability. Judgments are also required to determine whether a decline in market value below amortized costs is permanent in available-for-sale or held-to maturity securities, therefore requiring the cost basis to be written off and related effects to be recognized on income (impairment). Factors used by our management in determining whether a decline is permanent include mainly the observed period of the loss, the degree of the loss and the expectation, as at the date of analysis, as to the potential for realization of the security.

 

Contingent Liabilities

 

Contingent liabilities

 

We are party to civil, labor, tax, and social security proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In general, the provisions for these contingencies are recognized based on the following criteria and assumptions:

 

(i) for lawsuits individually reviewed, on the opinion of internal and external legal counsel and the probability that financial resources will be required to settle the claim, where settlement amounts may be estimated with sufficient certainty; and

 

(ii) for lawsuits collectively evaluated, by using statistical references by group of lawsuits, type of legal body (small claims court or regular court) and subject matter of the claim.

 

The risk that contingencies arising from these proceedings will materialize into actual losses is classified as "probable” "possible", or "remote". These provisions are recognized for claims classified as probable loss, and risk amounts are disclosed for those contingencies with probability of possible loss. Contingency amounts are determined based on statistical or individual valuation models and periodically followed up by back-testing methodologies, so that, in view of uncertainties related to the terms and amounts of these contingencies, the current control methods ensure that these are estimated with accuracy.

 

Goodwill

 

The impairment test for goodwill involves significant estimates and judgments, including the identification of cash generation units and the allocation of goodwill to such units based on the expectation of which ones will benefit from the acquisition. Determining the expected cash flows and a risk-adjusted interest rate for each unit requires that management exercises judgment and makes estimates. These goodwill amounts are tested for impairment semi-annually and amortized in accordance with the expected future profitability. On December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, Itaú Unibanco Holding did not identify any goodwill impairment losses.

 

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

 

The current amount of pension plan obligations is obtained from actuarial calculations that use a variety of assumptions. The discount rate is among the assumptions used for estimating the net cost (income) of these plans. Any changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying amount of pension plan liabilities.

 

We determine the appropriate discount rate at each year end, which is used for determining the present value of estimated future cash outflows required for settling pension plan liabilities. To determine the appropriate discount rate, we take into account the interest rates of the Brazilian federal government bonds denominated in Brazilian reais, the currency in which benefits will be paid, and that have maturity terms close to the terms of the related liabilities.

 

Other important assumptions for pension plan obligations are partially based on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 19.

 

 

 

 

Technical Provisions for Insurance and Pension Plans

 

Technical provisions are liabilities arising from obligations of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to its policyholders and participants. These obligations may be short-term (property and casualty insurance) or medium- and long-term liabilities (life insurance and pension plans).

 

The determination of the actuarial liability value is subject to several uncertainties inherent in the coverage of insurance and pension contracts, such as assumptions of persistence, mortality, disability, life expectancy, morbidity, expenses, frequency and severity of claims, conversion of benefits into annuities, redemptions and return on assets.

 

These assumptions are estimated based on our historical experience, benchmarks and the actuary’s experience, in order to comply with the best market practices and the ongoing review of the actuarial liability. Any adjustments resulting from these ongoing improvements, if required, are recorded in the income statement for the corresponding period.

 

Additional information is included in Note 11.

 

Deferred Income Tax and Social Contribution

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only in relation to temporary differences and loss carry forwards to the extent that it is probable that Itaú Unibanco Holding will generate future taxable profit for their utilization. The expected realization of Itaú Unibanco Holding’s deferred tax asset is based on the projected future income and other technical studies, as disclosed in Note 14.

At the end of 2016, we had 5,103 branches and points of service in Brazil and abroad, 118 units more than at the end of 2015, when our service network had 4,985 branches and points of service.

 

The increase in the number of branches is due to the merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca in April 1, 2016. The increase in the number of branches in Latin America was partially made up for the reduction of branches in Brazil, in line with our clients’ profile, who have increasingly demanding services through digital channels. We closed 2016 with 135 digital branches, with 41 branches opened over the year.

 

On May 11, 2017, Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.,through its subsidiary Itaú Unibanco S.A., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with XP Controle Participações S.A (“XP Controle”), G.A. Brasil IV Fundo de Investimento em Participações, and Dyna III Fundo de Investimento em Participações, among others (“Sellers”), to acquire 49.9% of the total share capital (representing 30.1% of voting shares) of XP Holding, by means of a capital increase in the amount of R$600 million and the acquisition of XP Holding’s shares held by the Sellers for R$5.7 billion, being such amounts subject to contractual adjustments (“First Acquisition”).

 

In addition to the First Acquisition, through which we will become a minority shareholder of XP Holding, we have committed to acquire (i) in 2020, an additional percentage of 12.5% which will result in a participation of 62.4% of the total share capital of XP Holding (representing 40.0% of voting shares) based in a multiple (19 times) applied to XP Holding’s earnings, and (ii) in 2022, another additional percentage of 12.5% which will entitled us to a participation of 74.9% of the total share capital of XP Holding (representing 49.9% of the voting shares) based on the fair market value of XP Holding at that time, and it is certain that XP Controle’s shareholders will maintain the control of XP Group, including XP Investimentos, and such shareholders will hold the majority of the voting shares.

 

In March 2016, after obtaining regulatory authorization and fulfilling conditions precedent, we consummated the acquisition of 89.08% interest in the capital stock of Recovery do Brasil Consultoria S.A., of which 81.94% from Banco BTG Pactual S.A. (BTG) and 7.14% from other shareholders, as well as approximately 70% of a portfolio worth R$38 billion in credit rights held by BTG.

 

In April 2016, we closed the merger of Banco Itaú Chile with and into CorpBanca and, as a result, acquired the control of the resulting entity – Itaú CorpBanca – with a 33.58% interest in its capital stock. On that same date, we entered into the Shareholders’ Agreement of Itaú CorpBanca, which entitles us to appoint, together with Corp Group1, the majority of the members of Itaú CorpBanca’s Board of Directors. These members are appointed according to the ownership interest of each party, and we have the right to elect the majority of the members elected by this block.

 

In October 2016, we acquired 10.9 billion shares of Itaú CorpBanca for approximately R$ 288.1 million, and this transaction is foreseen in the Itaú CorpBanca shareholders agreement entered into between Itaú Unibanco and Corp Group on April 1, 2016. As a result, Itaú Unibanco's participation in Itaú CorpBanca increased from approximately 33.58% to approximately 35.71%, with no change in the governance of Itaú CorpBanca.

 

 

 

 

In September 2016, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our group life insurance operations to Prudential do Brasil.

 

In October 2016, we entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement with Citibank for the acquisition of the retail business of the latter in Brazil, including loans, deposits, credit cards, branches, on-shore wealth management and insurance brokerage, as well as the equity investments held by Citibank in TECBAN – Tecnologia Bancária S.A. and in CIBRASEC – Companhia Brasileira de Securitização.

 

Citibank’s retail business in Brazil (which includes 71 branches) has approximately 315,000 bank account holders, R$35 million in deposits and assets under management (gross amounts on December 31, 2015), 1.1 million credit cards and a loan portfolio of approximately R$6 billion.

Differences between IFRS and BRGAAP Financial Statements

(a) Under IFRS (IAS 39), loan losses allowances must be made when there is objective evidence that loan operations are impaired (Incurred Loss). Under BRGAAP, the expected loss model is used.8

(b) Under IFRS (IAS 39 and 32), shares and quotas classified as permanents investments were measured at fair value and its gains and losses were recorded directly on Equity, with no impact on the income statement of the period.

(c) Under IFRS, the effect of accounting at fair value of the acquisition of the interest in Porto Seguro Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. was recognized.

(d) Under IFRS (IAS 39), the assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost were recognized according to the methodology of effective interest rate, which appropriates the revenues and costs directly attributed to the acquisition, issue or disposal for the period of operation. Under BRGAAP, expenses and revenues from fees were recognized at the time of contracting these operations

(e) Under IFRS (IAS 17), lease operations are recorded in fixed assets with a contra-entry to Other financial assets. Under BRGAAP, as from September 30, 2015, these contra-entries are recorded in income in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,617/08.

(f) The composition of Other Adjustments is made mainly by the difference in the eligibility of hedging cash flow under IFRS and by the reversal of BRGAAP’s Goodwill Amortization.

Itaú Unibanco reiterates the forecast previously disclosed for 2017 fiscal year.

 

Due to changes in the Credit Card regulation introduced by Resolution No. 4,549 and to changes in the macroeconomic expectations for the year (upon preparation and disclosure of 2017 forecast, the company took into account a macroeconomic scenario forecasting an average Selic rate of 11.0% for 2017, however Itaú Unibanco’s macroeconomic projections

 

 

 

 

currently indicate an average Selic rate of 10.2% for 2017), the company informs that management currently expects that by the end of 2017 the annual variation in the financial margin with clients (ex-impairment) to be closer to the lower end of the range provided by the forecast disclosed for the Consolidated and Brazil operations.

 

Additionally, due to the outperformance of Banking Service Fees and Result from Insurance Operations¹, the company informs that management currently expects that by the end of 2017 the year-over-year variation to be at the higher end of the range provided by the forecast disclosed for the Consolidated and Brazil operations.

Reasons for divergence from projections:

 

Total Loan Portfolio: The below-expected growth in loan portfolio on a consolidated basis was primarily due to the fact that loan origination levels expected for Latin America portfolio were lower than estimated.

 

Result from Loan Losses: The levels lower than those expected for the Result of Loan Losses are mainly driven by levels of provisions lower than those expected for the portfolio in Brazil, in view of the better scenario unfolded in the second half of 2016 compared to the expectation when the Projection was disclosed.

Audit Committee:

 

The Audit Committee has autonomy to establish and contract training activities.

 

The Audit Committee does not have a pre-established training program, contracting training when a specific need is identified for the body or its members. Additionally, the Committee makes benchmark, for the topics under its responsibility and that it considers significant, including abroad, with other organizations or with the best practices identified by consultants.

 

In 2015, a training on regulatory, financial and tax environment abroad was conducted, as well as another one on risk culture, with benchmark for operating aspects of the Audit Committee and activities of the Internal Audit with financial entities and consulting companies in the United States of America. Also in 2015, the Audit Committee developed a program to introduce the Committee to new members.

 

As part of the self-evaluation of the Audit Committee’s performance, in 2016 we identified the convenience of periodically identify those topics that will be subject to training in a two-year period. Accordingly, at the meeting held in September 2016, the Audit Committee identified specific themes for training or benchmark purposes.

 

In 2016, the Committee provided all its members with specific training on regulatory themes - Volcker Rule Legislation and new regulations of the CVM for financial statements of investment funds.

 

 

 

  

Over 2017 and up to the date of this Reference Form, training sessions were provided to all members of the Audit Committee on the IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, and on international standards related to Money-Laundering Prevention and Financing of Terrorism.

 

In 2015 and 2016, some of the Committee’s individual members also took part in training activities on accounting, financial, capital markets and corporate governance themes.

 

c) Relationship among the Audit Committee, the Executive Board, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors

 

Based on the responsibilities established in its Regulations and on the assessment of the main risks of Itaú Unibanco’s Conglomerate, the Audit Committee establishes annually its meeting schedule, including with the Executive Board. This annual planning is permanently revised by the Audit Committee, which may change its meeting planning at any time.

 

Over 2015 and 2016, the Audit Committee held meetings at least on a monthly basis with the executives in charge of the Internal Audit and Internal Controls, Compliance and Operating Risk, regarding the monitoring of outcomes of the works carried out by the areas, as well as to monitor operations of Itaú CorpBanca in Chile and its branches.

 

Also in 2015 and 2016, the Audit Committee held meetings with the following areas: Finance, Corporate Security, Retail Banking, Wholesale Banking, Technology and Operations, Credit Risk, Market Risk, Legal Ombudsman's Office and with the Ombudsman, and with those responsible for a number of business of Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate, including abroad, covering Itaú Unibanco’s units in Latin America and in the North hemisphere (United States of America and Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Middle East).

 

At least quarterly, the Audit Committee holds a joint meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and with the Chairman of the Board of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., in which the Audit Committee presents its findings and recommendations and monitors the progress of the recommendations previously submitted.

 

Relationship among the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Council

 

The Audit Committed is linked to the Board of Directors of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. At least on a semiannual basis, the President of the Audit Committee submits to the Board of Directors the outcome of the work performed in the six-month period by the Audit Committee, as well as its recommendations, including on the financial statements, evaluation of the external auditor, internal auditor and the internal controls, compliance and operating risk area.

 

As from 2015, the Audit Committee reports to the Board of Directors the correspondence received from regulatory authorities in Brazil that requires analysis by the Board of Directors.

 

In 2016, the president of the Audit Committee submitted matters in four meetings (2015 – five meetings) of the Board of Directors. Additionally, since October 2016 the Audit Committee prepares on a monthly basis a summary of the most relevant topics discussed in the monthly meetings, which is provided electronically to the Board of Directors.

 

The Audit Committee meets annually with the members of the Fiscal Council of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., when the Audit Committee’s findings about the consolidated financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. for the year ended in December of each year are submitted there to.

 

Relationship between the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Council

 

The Fiscal Council takes part in all meetings of the Board of Directors in which the financial statements of the Issuer are examined (therefore, once a year).

 

Relationship between the Fiscal Council and the Executive Board

 

The Fiscal Council meets the Executive Board of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. when the financial statements of the Issuer are presented (therefore, four times a year).

 

d) In 2016, as part of Itaú Unibanco’s Integrity and Ethics Program, we developed the following training activities:

 

 

 

  

Training Audience Frequency Adherence Proposal for 2017
Ethics e-learning course Up to executive officers Every three years 14.1% (launched in December 2016) Continues in 2017

e) In 2016, the Internal Ombudsman’s Office received 1,141 reports related to interpersonal conflicts and conflicts of interest in the work environment involving the organization’s employees.

 

In order to guide and discipline any employees who shows conducts contrary to the principles of the Company’s Code of Ethics and standards, and to minimize any related risks, the Company implemented guiding/disciplinary measures to those involved in the reports investigated and deemed as legitimate. Additionally, a number of monitoring actions and action and development plans were recommended to the reported employees.

 

f) Supporting Documentation for the Meetings of the Board of Directors:

The members of the Board of Directors receive, whenever possible at least five (5) days before the meeting, supporting documents for the topics that will be discussed, so that each Director may be properly aware of these topics and prepare for a productive cooperation in these debates.

 

g) Information related to the evaluation process of the Board of Directors, Committees and Executive Board is described in item 12.1.c

 

ITEM 13 REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

 

13.1. Describe the policy or practice for the compensation of the Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Officers and Board of Non-Statutory Officers, Fiscal Council, Statutory Committees and Audit, Risk, Financial and Compensation Committees, addressing the following aspects:

 

a) The objectives of the compensation policy or practice:

 

Compensation Policy

 

 

 

 

The objective of the Issuer’s compensation policy is to attract, compensate, retain and motivate management members in the running of business, on a sustainable manner, subject to proper risk limits and always in line with stockholders’ interests.

 

The Issuer’s compensation policy is established by taking into account: market practices, the Issuer’s strategy and the effective risk management over time, so as not to encourage behaviors that might increase the risk exposure above levels considered prudent.

 

In accordance with Resolution No. 3,921/2010 of the National Monetary Council (“Resolution on Compensation”), the variable compensation, corresponding to the sum of fees approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting assigned to variable compensation and the statutory profit sharing, is consistent with the risk management policies of Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate, under which at least fifty percent (50%) of variable compensation is paid through shares or stock-based instruments and is deferred for payment within at least three years. The deferred unpaid portion may be reduced or subject to clawbacks, due to the possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area during the deferral period.

 

Management members are granted a benefit plan covering a health care plan, dental health care, private pension plan and life insurance. The benefit plan may vary in accordance with the administrator.

 

For illustrative purposes, this item will take into consideration the year to which the compensation refers, regardless of the year in which it was effectively attributed, paid or recognized in the financial statements.

 

Partners Program

 

The Issuer has an institutional program referred to as Partners Program, through which management members and employees with a history of outstanding contribution and differentiated performance are entitled to use part or their total annual variable compensation to purchase the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Own Shares”). If they hold the ownership of these Own Shares, free of any liens or encumbrances and of other suspension conditions set forth in the Program Regulation for three- and five-year terms as from the initial investment, the return on investment will be through the receipt of the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Partners Shares”) also for three- and five-year terms. These Partners Shares will subsequently remain unavailable for five- and eight-year terms as from the initial investment in Own Shares. Any Partners Shares not yet received will also be subject to reduction proportional to a possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area.

 

As a result of the impacts related to Article 33 of Law No. 12,973/14, and the change in the recognition of the amounts granted to management members under the prior Partners Program (linked to the Stock Option Plan) for the 2009 to 2014 fiscal years, we clarify that the amounts related to the Partners Program for fiscal year 2014 and subsequent fiscal years will be reported as part of the variable compensation.

 

We clarify that the amounts granted to management members under the Partners Program for the 2009 to 2014 fiscal years have been recorded in the Issuer’s financial statements since their granting, as well as detailed in this item, in compliance with the rules applicable to these disclosures.

 

For illustrative purposes, this item will take into consideration the year to which the compensation refers, regardless of the year in which it was effectively attributed, paid or recognized in the financial statements.

 

Governance structure of compensation

 

The governance structure of compensation requires both clear and transparent processes. Accordingly, in order to achieve the purposes mentioned above and adopt the best governance practices introduced in Brazil and overseas, as well as to ensure balance of the Issuer’s risk management practices, in compliance with the Resolution on Compensation, the Issuer has a statutory Compensation Committee, reporting to the Board of Directors, the main duties of which are: (a) to prepare a compensation policy by proposing to the Board of Directors the many forms of fixed and variable compensation, in addition to benefits and special recruitment and termination programs; (b) to discuss, analyze and supervise the implementation and operation of current compensation models for the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate by discussing general principles of the compensation policy for employees and providing recommendations to the Board of Directors on any adjustments or improvements; (c) to propose to the Board of Directors the aggregate compensation amount to management members to be submitted to the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting; and (d) to prepare, on an annual basis, the "Compensation Committee Report”.

 

In addition to the Compensation Committee, we have a Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee, also reporting to the Board of Directors and whose main responsibility is to monitor the Issuer’s governance, especially regarding topics related to the Board of Directors and the Board of Officers. Accordingly, the Nomination and Governance Committee is responsible for (i) recommending processes for assessing the

 

 

 

 

Board of the Directors, the Members and Chairman of the Board, Committees and Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) providing methodological and procedural support to these assessments.

 

Finally, we have the Personnel Committee, which also reports to the Board of Directors and is responsible for defining the main guidelines for personnel policies, including the rules related to the appointment and removal of beneficiaries of the Partners Program and the approval of the appointed beneficiaries of said program.

 

Additional Information

 

In 2017, the proposal is for the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting to approve the formalization and approval of the Stock Grant Plan (“Stock Grant Plan”), in order to consolidate general rules in connection with long-term incentive programs that involve the granting of shares to management members and employees of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as set forth by CVM Instructions No. 567/15. Among the programs mentioned in the Stock Grant Plan, to be managed by the Compensation Program and which have as their target audiences the management members of the Company, we emphasize the Variable Compensation in Shares (item 5.1.1. of the document), the Fixed Compensation in Shares (item 5.1.2 of the document, for members of the Board of Directors only), and the Partners Program (item 5.1.4 of the document), also included in the information provided in this item 13.

 

The Issuer also offers a Stock Option Plan (“Stock Option Plan”) to its management members and employees, as well as to the management members and employees of its controlled companies, providing for the alignment of the management members’ interests to those of the stockholders, as they share the same risks and gains due to the appreciation of their shares. For further details on the Stock Option Plan, see sub items 13.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.7, 13.8, and 13.9. The Personnel Committee is responsible for making institutional decisions, and supervising the implementation and operation of the Stock Option Plan.

 

b) Compensation composition, indicating:

i - Description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each of them

 

Board of Directors

 

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Directors is composed of:

(i)monthly fixed compensation (fees in cash approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting);
(ii)annual fixed compensation (stock-based compensation approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting); and
(iii)benefit plan (approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting).

 

Maximum compensation amounts are defined at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, based on the limits imposed by Article 152 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

In the event that a member of the Board of Directors is also part of the Board of Officers of the Issuer or of its controlled companies, his/her compensation will be subject to the policy applicable to the Board of Officers as described below and stated in the columns related to the Board of Officers in the tables of this item 13.

 

Additionally, the members of the Board of Directors may be paid a variable compensation as resolved by the Compensation Committee. This variable compensation will be subject to the guidelines of the Resolution on Compensation and be limited to the extent determined by the Annual Stockholders' Equity and Article 152 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Board of Officers

 

The annual compensation of the Officers is composed of:

(i)monthly fixed compensation (fees in cash approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting);
(ii)annual variable compensation (fees approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting and statutory profit sharing); and
(iii)benefit plan (approved at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting).

 

Maximum compensation amounts are defined at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, based on the limits imposed by Article 152 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Regarding particularly those officers involved in the internal controls and risk areas, their compensation is calculated to attract qualified and experienced professionals and is determined irrespectively of the performance of each business area, so as not to give rise to any conflicts of interest. However, even though not

 

 

 

  

impacted by the results from the business areas, they are still subject to any impacts arising from the Issuer’s results.

 

Fiscal Council

 

The compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council is established at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting. Pursuant to Article 162, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, this compensation may not be lower, for each acting member, than 10% of the fixed compensation assigned to each officer (i.e. not including benefits, representation allowances and profit sharing). Within the limits established by legislation, the members of the Fiscal Council are paid only a monthly fixed compensation amount and are not eligible for the benefit policy.

 

Audit Committee

 

The compensation of the members of the Audit Committee is determined by the Board of Directors, subject to market parameters, and is composed of:

(i)monthly fixed compensation.

 

For those members of the Audit Committee who are also part of the Board of Directors, the compensation policy of the Board of Directors is applied.

 

Committees

 

Management members who are also part of other statutory or non-statutory committees of the Issuer, or its subsidiaries or affiliates, are compensated according to their duties in the executive bodies or areas in which they work, and they do not receive a specific compensation for belonging to these committees.

 

Any non-management member of the Compensation Committee is compensated based on market parameters.

The aforementioned proportions include any charges supported by the Issuer in connection with the amounts paid, so that this information is in line with item 13.2.

 

iii - Calculation and adjustment methodology for each of the compensation elements

 

Fixed compensation (recorded as “Salary or management fees” in sub item 13.2)

 

For officers, the monthly fixed compensation is established in accordance with the position held and is based on internal equality, since all management members holding the same position earn the same monthly fixed compensation amount, also providing mobility of management members in the Issuer’s businesses. Fixed compensation amounts are defined aiming at maintaining competition in the market.

 

For members of the Board of Directors, the monthly fixed compensation is consistent with market practices and periodically reviewed to attract qualified professionals.

 

 

 

  

The annual fixed compensation to the members of the Board of Directors is paid in the Issuer’s preferred shares and takes into account the history, résumé, market conditions and other factors that may be agreed between the management member and the Issuer.

 

To calculate the value of the shares used to make up the compensation payable in shares or stock-based instruments, we use the average price of the Issuer’s preferred shares on BM&FBOVESPA in the 30 days prior to price fixing.

 

Upon the effective delivery of shares to the members of the Board of Directors, they are also paid amounts corresponding to dividends and interest on capital calculated from the grant date up to the delivery of shares to management members, restated by the profitability rate of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI). In view of the intrinsic nature of the dividends and interest on capital in relation to the shares, they are part of the amounts paid to the members of the Board of Directors as compensation.

 

Annual variable compensation (recorded as “Profit sharing” and “Stock-based compensation” in sub item 13.2)

 

The annual variable compensation takes into account three factors: the management member’s performance, the results of the business area, and/or the Issuer’s results.

 

Regarding the annual variable compensation, 50% is paid in cash on demand and 50% is paid through the Issuer’s preferred shares or stock-based instruments, deferred for payment within three years, in the proportion of 1/3 of the amount due per year. For the 2016 fiscal year, for example, the shares related to the deferred portions will be delivered to management members in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The deferred portions may be reduced or may not be paid due to the possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area during the deferral period.

 

To calculate the value of the shares used to make up the 50% of the deferred variable compensation, we use the average price of the Issuer’s preferred shares on BM&FBOVESPA in the 30 days prior to price fixing.

 

Upon the effective delivery of shares to management members in years 1, 2, and 3, they are also paid amounts corresponding to dividends and interest on capital calculated from the grant date up to the delivery of shares to the management members, restated by the profitability rate of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI). In view of the intrinsic nature of the dividends and interest on capital in relation to the shares, they are part of the amounts paid to management members as compensation.

 

Additionally, the Issuer has an institutional program referred to as Partners Program, through which management members and employees with a history of outstanding contribution and differentiated performance are entitled to use part or their total annual variable compensation to purchase the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Own Shares”). If they hold the ownership of these Own Shares, free of any liens or encumbrances and of other suspension conditions set forth in the Program Regulation for three- and five-year terms as from the initial investment, the return on investment will be through the receipt of the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Partners Shares”) also for three- and five-year terms. Partners Shares will subsequently remain unavailable for 5 and 8-year terms as from the initial investment in Own Shares. Any Partners Shares not yet received will also be subject to clawbacks, due to the possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the business area.

 

Benefit plan (recorded as “Direct or indirect benefits” in sub item 13.2)

 

The benefit plan comprises a health care plan, dental health care, private pension plan, and life insurance. The benefit plan may vary in accordance with the administrator.

 

iv - Reasons that justify the composition of compensation

 

For members of the Board of Officers, the Issuer establishes variable compensation in shares, on a deferred basis, including the Partners Program, which is intended to align the risk management in the short-, medium- and long-terms, in addition to providing benefits to officers in the same proportion as it benefits the Issuer and its stockholders.

 

When compared to the Board of Officers, the Issuer favors fixed compensation for the members of the Board of Directors. This model is intended not to bind the compensation paid to targets reached.

 

v – any members who are not compensated by the issuer and the reason why

 

 

 

  

There are no members who are not compensated.

 

c) The main performance indicators that are taken into consideration in determining each compensation element:

 

The annual variable compensation (fees and profit sharing) represents a significant portion of the amounts paid to officers and is directly impacted by performance indicators. The first performance indicator is the Issuer’s income. Subsequently, the performance indicator to be taken into consideration is the performance of the applicable business area. Finally, individual performance is assessed by taking into account financial, process, client satisfaction and people management indicators, in addition to those relating to targets in relation to other Issuer’s areas.

 

The individual performance of management members is measured based on financial and non-financial metrics, and, on average, the commercial areas have 80% of performance linked to financial targets and the remaining 20% to non-financial targets. Supporting areas have financial targets accounting for 25% of total, against 75% of non-financial targets. The targets of the commercial areas are focused on (i) the managerial operating income (managerial indicator similar to net income), (ii) operating revenues, (iii) costs, and (iv) client satisfaction surveys. For supporting areas, targets are focused on internal client satisfaction surveys and costs.

 

For the Board of Officers, the monthly fixed compensation and the benefit plan account for the smallest portion of the total amount received by management members and are not affected by performance indicators.

 

For the Board of Directors, performance indicators are not taken into account for fixed compensation purposes.

 

d) How the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators:

 

A significant portion of the total amount paid to management members is in variable compensation, which is directly impacted by performance indicators. Therefore, the better the indicators, the higher the compensation and vice versa.

 

For the Board of Directors, performance indicators are not taken into account for fixed compensation purposes.

 

e) How the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the issuer’s short-, medium- and long-term interests

 

The annual variable compensation takes into account three factors: the management member’s performance; results of the business area; and/or the Issuer’s results, and is paid as follows: 50% is paid in cash on demand and 50% is paid through the Issuer’s preferred shares or stock-based instruments, deferred for payment within three years, in the proportion of 1/3 of the amount due per year.

 

Additionally, the Issuer has an institutional program referred to as Partners Program, through which management members and employees with a history of outstanding contribution and differentiated performance are entitled to use part or their total annual variable compensation to purchase the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Own Shares”). If they hold the ownership of these Own Shares, free of any liens or encumbrances and of other suspension conditions set forth in the Program Regulation for three- and five-year terms as from the initial investment, the return on investment will be through the receipt of the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Partners Shares”) also for three- and five-year terms. These Partners Shares will subsequently remain unavailable for five- and eight-year terms as from the initial investment in Own Shares.

 

Therefore, the variable compensation, including the Partners Program, is paid in at least three and at the most five years, and during this period it is subject to a possible reduction due to reduction in realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area. Additionally, it is subject to the risk of price variations in the Issuer’s preferred shares for up to eight years. This structure reflects the intention of aligning the risk management over time, in addition to providing benefits to management members based on performance in the proportion as it benefits the Issuer and its stockholders.

 

f) The existence of compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries, controlled companies or parent companies:

 

The compensation of many members of the Board of Officers is supported by controlled companies (see sub item 13.15), and the amounts indicated in this item 13 already include the total compensation paid by the Issuer and its controlled companies.

 

 

 

  

g) The existence of any compensation or benefit related to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the disposal of the issuer’s shareholding control:

 

There is no compensation or benefit – neither is it provided for in the Issuer’s compensation policy - related to the occurrence of a certain corporate event.

For the 2017 fiscal year, the proposal is for the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting to approve the aggregate compensation amount of R$320 million payable to management bodies, regardless of the year in which the amounts were effectively attributed or paid. For the Fiscal Council, the proposal is for the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting to approve the monthly individual compensation of R$15,000 to effective members and R$6,000 to alternate members. The approved compensation amounts may be paid in local currency, in Issuer’s shares or in any other manner that management finds convenient. The amounts will be paid in the proportions described in the table above.

 

Also regarding the 2017 fiscal year, in addition to the amounts established at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the members of the management bodies will receive statutory profit sharing, according to paragraph 1, Article 152, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, limited to the annual compensation of management members or to 10% of the Issuer’s income, whichever is lower. The profit sharing amounts are not included in the table above, which only shows the estimated separation of the compensation aggregated amounts to be approved by stockholders at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting.

 

The amounts related to the granting of stock options are not included in the table above, which only shows the estimated separation of the compensation aggregated amounts to be approved by stockholders at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting. For further information on the granting of simple options of the Stock-Based Plan, see sub items 13.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.7, and 13.9.

 

Notes:

(1) As mentioned in item 13.1 and shown in the table above, the annual variable compensation model should be recorded in "Profit sharing" (paid in cash) and "Stock-based compensation" (paid in shares). Therefore, the bonus item is zero.

 

(2) For 2017, “Profit sharing” amounts (paid in cash) are not included in the table above, which only shows the estimated separation of the compensation aggregated amounts to be approved by stockholders at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting.

 

(3) Due to Empresas.Net (CVM’s system) systemic structure, we clarify that: (i) the amounts in "Other (fees and/or INSS)" refer to special fees and INSS for the Board of Directors and INSS for the Board of Officers and the Fiscal Council; and (ii) the amounts in “Stock-based compensation” include the amounts corresponding to INSS related to these amounts.

Notes:

 

1.(1) As mentioned in item 13.1, the annual variable compensation model is recorded in “Profit sharing” (paid in cash) and “Stock-based compensation” (paid in shares) of item 13.2. Therefore, the bonus item is zero.

 

As there is no “Stock-based compensation” line in this item, we inform these amounts (recorded in “Stock-based compensation” of item 13.2) as follows: Board of Directors: c i 5,758,704; c ii 13,436,976; c iii 9,597,840; c iv 8,876,175. Board of Officers: c i 84,197,079; c ii 196,459,851; c iii 140,328,465; c iv 145,955,470. Fiscal Council: N/A.

 

2.The minimum and maximum amounts described in the table above and in the previous note were indicated based on budget and management expectations. However, these amounts may vary based

 

 

 

  

on the Issuer’s result, the result of the area in which the management member works, and his/her performance, and it is also possible that the variable compensation will not be paid in case of reduction in the results of the Issuer or of the business area during the deferral period.

 

3.The variable compensation of the fiscal year includes: (i) 50% effectively paid (shown in item “d”); and (ii) 50% to be paid in 2016, 2017 and 2018 in shares (shown in note 1 above). Additionally, it includes the Partners shares to be delivered in 2018 and 2020 (shown in note 1 above).

 

13.4. With respect to the stock-based compensation plan for the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Officers in effect in the last year and determined for the current year, please describe:

 

a) General terms and conditions

 

Clarifications – means to disclose information

 

For illustrative purposes, we provide information about all stock-based compensation models in this item, as follows: (1) shares or stock-based instruments delivered under the Compensation Policy; (2) shares or stock-based instruments delivered under the Partners Program; and (3) options granted under the Stock-Option Plan ("Stock Option Plan”), as described below:

 

(1) Compensation Policy – stock-based compensation

 

Annual variable compensation in shares: regarding the total annual variable compensation, 50% is paid in cash on demand and 50% is paid through the delivery of shares, deferred for payment within three years, in the proportion of 1/3 of the amount due per year. For the 2016 fiscal year, for example, the shares related to the deferred portion will be delivered to management members in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

 

Annual fixed compensation in shares: The total annual fixed compensation to the members of the Board of Directors is paid in shares. For the 2016 fiscal year, for example, the shares will be delivered to management members in 2017.

 

For further details on the compensation policy for management members, see item 13.1.

 

(2) Partners Program

 

The Issuer has an institutional program referred to as Partners Program, through which management members and employees with a history of outstanding contribution and differentiated performance are entitled to use part or their total annual variable compensation to purchase the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Own Shares”). If they hold the ownership of these Own Shares, free of any liens or encumbrances and of other suspension conditions set forth in the Program Regulation for three- and five-year terms as from the initial investment, the return on investment will be through the receipt of the Issuer’s preferred shares (“Partners Shares”) also for three- and five-year terms. These Partners Shares will subsequently remain unavailable for five- and eight-year terms as from the initial investment in Own Shares.

 

We also clarify that as a result of the impacts related to Article 33 of Law No. 12,973/14, the amounts granted in connection with the partners’ options under the Stock Option Plan for the 2009 to 2014 fiscal years, not yet paid, will now be recorded as compensation. These amounts have been recorded in the Issuer’s financial statements since their granting, as well as detailed in this item, in compliance with the rules applicable to these disclosures.

 

Also as a result of the impacts related to Article 33 of Law No. 12,973/14, the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting approved the proposal to exclude the items addressing the partner options granting model in the Stock Option Plan, which will otherwise address the simple option granting only.

 

For further details on the compensation policy for management members, including the Partners Program as from the 2014 fiscal year, see item 13.1.

 

(3) Stock Option Plan

 

The Issuer was one of the first Brazilian companies to grant stock options to its executives (since 1995). The current Stock Option Plan, approved at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 29, 2015, covers the Issuer and its controlled companies.

 

 

 

  

In accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, the Issuer may grant stock options to management members, employees, and services providers of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate companies (“Beneficiaries“), in accordance with Article 168, paragraph 3 of the Brazilian Corporate Law. The rules and operating procedures with respect to the Stock Option Plan are established by a committee, named Personnel Committee, reporting to the Issuer’s Board of Directors.

 

We clarify that, in addition to the grants provided under the Issuer’s Stock Option Plan, the Issuer also controls rights and obligations in connection with the options granted under the plans assumed by the Issuer at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meetings held on April 24, 2009 and April 19, 2013 related to the stock option plans of Unibanco – União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. and of Unibanco Holdings S.A. (collectively, “Unibanco”) and of Redecard, respectively.

 

Given that it is no longer possible to provide grants under the Unibanco and Redecard Plans, all information relating to item 13.4 refers to the provisions of the current Stock-Option Plan only, as submitted to the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Plan held on April 29, 2015.

 

For illustrative purposes, we will take into account the fiscal year in which the grants were carried out, regardless of the year in which the options were exercised or recognized in the financial statements.

 

For further information, see the full Stock Option Plan on the website of CVM and of the Issuer (www.itau.com.br/investor-relations). See also Note 16 – Stockholders’ equity to the Consolidated financial statements (BRGAAP) and Note 22 – Stock-Based Payment (IFRS) on the Issuer’s website.

 

b) Main objectives of the plan

 

The stock-based compensation models have the primary purpose of aligning the management members’ interests with those of the Issuer's stockholders, as they share the same risks and earnings provided by the appreciation of their shares.

 

c) How the plan contributes to these objectives

 

Stock-based payment models are intended to motivate management members to contribute to the Issuer’s good performance and share appreciation, as they may actively take part in the results of this appreciation. Accordingly, the institution achieves the objective of the stock-based payment models by engaging management members in the organization’s long-term strategies. Management members, in turn, take part in the appreciation of shares in the Issuer’s capital stock.

 

d) How the plan is inserted in the Issuer’s compensation policy

 

Stock-based payment models are in compliance with the principles pursued by the Issuer, since they (i) link management members to the Issuer’s projects and results in the long term, (ii) are tools that motivate the individual development and commitment, and (iii) retain management members, as stock-based payments are made in the long term.

 

e) How the plan is aligned with the short-, medium- and long-term interests of management members and the Issuer

 

Stock-based payment models are aligned with the interests of the Issuer and management members, since that, by enabling management members to become stockholders of the Issuer, these are encouraged to act from the perspective of being the “owners“ of the business, therefore aligning their interests with those of the stockholders’. Additionally, they encourage management members to stay with the Issuer, since the general rule dictates that a member leaving the company will lose his/her rights to stock-based payments (see sub item “n“ of item 13.4).

 

f) Maximum number of shares covered

 

In order to limit the maximum dilution of shares to which stockholders may be subject: the sum of (i) the shares to be used as compensation, pursuant to the Resolution on Compensation, including those related to the Partners Program and other stock-based compensation programs of the Issuer and its controlled companies; and (ii) the options to be granted each year may not exceed the limit of 0.5% of all the Issuer’s shares that majority and minority stockholders hold at the balance sheet date of the same year.

 

In the event that the number of shares delivered and options granted, in any given year, is below the limit of 0.5% of the total shares as mentioned in the paragraph above, the resulting difference may be added for compensation or option granting purposes in any of the following seven fiscal years.

 

 

 

  

g) Maximum number of options to be granted

 

With the purpose of limiting the maximum dilution of shares that stockholders may be subject to: the sum of (i) the shares to be used as compensation, pursuant to the Resolution on Compensation, including those related to the Partners Program and other stock-based compensation programs of the Issuer and its controlled companies; and (ii) the options to be granted under the Stock-Option Plan each year may not exceed the limit of 0.5% of total Issuer’s shares that majority and minority stockholders hold at the balance sheet date of the same year.

 

In the event that the number of shares delivered and options granted, in any given year, is below the limit of 0.5% of total shares as mentioned in the paragraph above, the resulting difference may be added for compensation or option granting purposes in any of the following seven fiscal years.

 

h) Conditions for acquisition of shares

 

Stock-based compensation: The acquisition of shares is carried out in the long term, since out of the total annual variable compensation, 50% is paid in cash on demand and 50% is paid through the delivery of shares, deferred for payment within three years, in the proportion of 1/3 of the amount due per year. For the 2016 fiscal year, for example, the shares related to the deferred portion will be delivered to management members in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The deferred portion may be reduced or not be paid due to the possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area during the deferral period.

 

Partners Program: the acquisition of shares is carried out in the long term, and is incumbent on the management member to link a portion or the full annual variable compensation for acquisition of Own Shares. If they hold the ownership of these Own Shares, free of any liens or encumbrances and of other suspension conditions set forth in the Program Regulation for three- and five-year terms as from the initial investment, the return on investment will be through the receipt of the Issuer’s preferred shares also for three- and five-year terms. For the 2016 fiscal year, for example, the shares will be delivered to management members in 2020 and 2022, and will be available in 2022 and 2025, respectively. Any Partners Shares not yet received will also be subject to reduction proportional to the possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the business area.

 

Stock Option Plan: shares are purchased as a result of exercising an option granted under the Stock-Option Plan, provided that the vesting period has elapsed (see sub item “j“ below), upon payment of the strike price (see sub item “i“ below). Additionally, options may be terminated under certain circumstances, such as termination of the relationship (statutory or contractual) between the Beneficiary and Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate companies before the vesting period (see sub item “n” below).

 

i) Criteria for fixing the purchase or exercise price

 

Stock-based compensation: The share purchase price is fixed upon granting, and is equivalent to the average price of shares in the 30 days prior to said price fixing.

 

Partners Program: The purchase price of Own Shares and Partners Shares is fixed upon granting, and is equivalent to the average price of shares in the 30 days prior to said price fixing.

 

Stock Option Plan: The purchase and strike prices will be fixed by the Personnel Committee upon the option granting and may be determined based on one of the following parameters:

 

Simple options: The strike price of options will be fixed based on the average price of the Issuer’s preferred shares at the trading sessions of BM&FBOVESPA in the three last months of the year prior to the grant date. The prices thus established will be adjusted up to the last business day of the month prior to the exercising of the option at the IGP-M inflation index, or in its absence, by the index designated by the Personnel Committee, and they must be paid within a term equal to that in force for settlement of operations on the BM&FBOVESPA.

 

j) Criteria for defining the exercise period

 

Stock-based compensation: Not applicable, since there is no exercising of options but rather a delivery of shares.

 

Partners Program: Not applicable, since there is no exercising of options but rather a delivery of shares.

 

 

 

  

Stock Option Plan: The options may be exercised only after the vesting period elapses and out of the lock-up periods established by the Personnel Committee. The vesting period of each series will be established by the Personnel Committee upon issue, and it may last from one to seven years as from the granting. In general, the vesting period is five years, as established by the Committee.

 

k) Settlement method

 

Stock-based compensation: Settlement occours through the delivery of shares after the deferral periods.

 

Partners Program: Settlement occours through the delivery of Partners Shares in the deferral periods determined in the Program.

 

Stock Option Plan: the Beneficiary will pay the Issuer the strike price in cash, subject to the rules and conditions established by the Personnel Committee.

 

l) Restrictions on the transfer of shares

 

Stock-based compensation: After receiving the shares within one, two or three years, there will be no restrictions to the transfer of shares. If the executive chooses to invest these shares in the Partners Program as Own Shares, such shares will become unavailable for three and five years as from the investment date.

 

Partners Program: After receiving the Partners Shares within three and five years as from the initial investment, such shares will become unavailable for five and eight years as from the initial investment date.

 

For the 2016 fiscal year, for example, the Partners Shares will be delivered to management members in 2020 and 2022, and will become available in 2022 and 2025, respectively.

 

Stock Option Plan: The availability of the shares subscribed by Beneficiaries through the option exercising may be subject to additional restrictions, according to resolutions to be adopted by the Personnel Committee upon granting. Thus the percentage of shares that must remain unavailable, as well as the period of this unavailability, will be defined by said Committee. In general, this unavailability period is two years after the option is exercised, as defined by the Committee.

 

m) Criteria and events that, when verified, may cause the suspension, amendment or termination of the plan

 

Stock-based compensation: Any deferred shares may not be delivered in the event of a possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area. Additionally, the compensation model may be amended upon approval from the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

 

Partners Program: Any Partners Shares not yet received may not be delivered in the event of a possible reduction in the realized recurring net income of the Issuer or of the applicable business area. Additionally, the Partners Program may be amended upon approval from the Compensation Committee.

 

Stock Option Plan: The Personnel Committee may suspend the exercise of options under justifiable circumstances, such as significant market fluctuations or legal or regulatory restrictions. Additionally, the Stock-Option Plan may only be amended or terminated if proposed by the Personnel Committee to the Board of Directors and subsequent approval at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting.

 

n) Effects of the management member’s leave from the Issuer’s bodies on their rights, as provided for in the stock-based compensation plan

 

Stock-based compensation: The general rule for leaving sets forth the termination of the shares granted not yet delivered. The Personnel Committee may subjected to criteria established in the compensation policy, that determine the non-termination of the shares.

 

Partners Program: The general rule for leaving sets forth the termination of the Partners shares not yet delivered. The Personnel Committee may subject to criteria established in the Internal Regulation, the Personnel Committee may choose not to terminate these shares.

 

 

 

  

Stock Option Plan: The general rule for leaving sets forth that the managers Beneficiaries of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate who resign or are dismissed from the position will have their options automatically terminated. Management members’ stock options will be extinguished on the date they cease to exercise their functions on a permanent basis, that is, in the event of a garden leave agreement (the period of leave prior to the formal end of the employment or statutory relationship), these options will be extinguished when said agreement becomes effective. However, the aforementioned automatic extinguishment will not occur if, for example, the termination occurs simultaneously with the election of said employee to the position of management member of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate or if the management member takes up another statutory position in the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate.

 

Additionally, subject to criteria established in the Internal Regulation, the Personnel Committee may choose not to terminate these options.

13.8. Give a brief description of the information necessary for understanding the data disclosed in items 13.5 to 13.7, as well as an explanation of the pricing model for share and option value, indicating, at least:

 

a) the pricing model

 

·          Simple options: the Issuer adopts the Binomial model for option pricing. This model assumes that there are two possible paths for the performance of asset prices –upward or downward. A tree with price paths is built in order to determine the share value on a future date, based on the defined volatility and time interval between the tree steps from pricing to maturity. The pricing process of this model is carried out adopting the “Backward Induction method”, from the knots of the maturity to the starting point.

 

·          Stock-based compensation: the fair value of shares for the stock-based compensation is the market price of the Issuer’s preferred shares quoted on the grant date.

 

·Partners Program: the fair value of the Issuer’s shares received is the market price of the Issuer’s preferred shares quoted on the grant date, discounted from the expected dividends.

 

b) data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average price of shares, strike price, expected volatility, term of the option, dividends expected and risk-free interest rate

 

·          Simple options: the Binomial pricing model used for simple options takes into account the price assumptions for the underlying asset, strike price, volatility, dividend return rate, risk-free rate, vesting period and term of the option.

 

The assumptions used are described as follows:

 

 

 

 

·Price of the underlying asset: the share price of the Issuer´s preferred shares used for calculation is the closing price at BM&FBOVESPA on the calculation base date;

 

·Strike price: the strike price previously defined on the option issue, adjusted by the IGP-M variation, is adopted as the option strike price;

 

·Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the last 84 historical monthly returns of closing prices of the Issuer’s preferred share, released by BM&FBOVESPA, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;

 

·Dividend rate: is the average annual return rate in the last three years of Paid Dividends, plus Interest on Capital of the Issuer’s preferred shares;

 

·Risk-free interest rate: the applied risk-free rate used is the IGP-M coupon rate, up to the option expiration date;

 

·Stock option expiry date: the stock option expiry date will be established by the Personnel Committee upon option granting, and these options will be automatically extinguished at the end of this period. The term of each stock option series will begin on the issue date and expire at the end of a period that may vary between the minimum of 5 years and the maximum of 10 years; and

 

·Option vesting period: the vesting period of each stock options series will be established by the Personnel Committee on the issue date, which may vary between one and seven years, as from the issue date.

 

·          Stock-Based Compensation: Not applicable, since, unlike other models, the number of shares is set based on the compensation amount defined. After it is defined, the amount is converted into a number of shares, taking into account its Market value.

 

·          Partner Program: it adopts the average annual return rate in the last three years of Paid Dividends, plus Interest on Capital, to discount the market price of the Issuer’s preferred shares quoted on the grant date.

 

c) Method used and assumptions made to absorb the expected early exercise effects

 

Simple options: the simple option pricing uses the Binomial tree and takes into consideration the vesting period for the simple options. The vesting period of each series will be established by the Personnel Committee upon issue, which may vary from one year to seven years as from the grant date. As a rule, the vesting period is five years, as determined by the Committee. After the vesting period elapses, the option may be exercised at any time until the option expiry date.

 

Stock-Based Compensation: not applicable.

 

Partner Program: not applicable.

 

d) How expected volatility is determined

 

Simple options: expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the last 84 historical monthly returns of closing prices of the Issuer’s preferred share, adjusted by the IGP-M variation.

 

Stock-Based Compensation: not applicable.

 

Partner Program: not applicable.

 

e) If any other characteristic of the option was included in its fair value measurement

 

Simple options: The historical series is adjusted for splits, bonus, and reverse splits, among others.

 

Stock-Based Compensation: not applicable.

 

Partner Program: not applicable.

The Turnover Rate is the ratio of employees hired to employees terminated (either voluntarily or involuntarily) in a given period. We monitor this rate on a monthly basis and submit it to the Executive Committee (the criteria used do not include employees outside of Brazil, apprentices, expatriates, disability retirees, officers and interns).

 

Turnover rate¹

 

 

¹Turnover Rate = Total terminations / (Total employees at the beginning of the period + Total employees at the end of the period) / 2. The total employees at the end of the period considers employees at the beginning of the period plus the hiring of employees minus the employee terminations.

14.3. Describe the issuer’s employee compensation policies, informing:

 

a) Salary and variable compensation policy

 

We adopt market parameters and benefit and compensation strategies that vary according to the business area of each employee. These parameters are periodically revised and analized through the commissioning of salary surveys from specialized consultancies, participation in surveys carried out by other banks, and participation in forums specialized in compensation.

 

The fixed compensation set forth in our strategy considers the complexity of duties of each level and the individual performance regarding these duties. Changes to employees’ fixed compensation vary according to the Policy on Promotion and Merit, which takes into account the employees’ seniority and their individual performance while carrying out duties.

 

Variable compensation in turn acknowledges the level of dedication, results achieved and short, medium and long-term sustainability of these results.

 

In addition, employees are entitled to salary adjustments and profit sharing, established in collective bargaining agreements applicable in respective jurisdictions.

 

 

 

 

b) Benefit policy

 

We provide several benefits established in applicable collective bargaining agreements entered into with labor unions that represent our employees’ many professional categories. The conditions to enjoy these benefits are established in the respective collective bargaining agreements (food allowance, day care/baby sitter, transportation, etc.). Additional benefits also applies, such as: (i) medical and dental care plans, (ii) private pension plans, (iii) group life insurance, (iv) psychosocial services, and (v) differentiated treatment for using banking products and services. Granting of these benefits may vary in accordance with the employee’s category and/or the market or regulatory considerations about jurisdictions specifically applicable to a certain employee.

 

c) Characteristics of the stock-based profit sharing plans to employees, identifying:

 

Our share-based profit-sharing plan, specifically designed for managers and senior managers, acknowledges those who stood out during the relevant year. The plan consists on granting preferred shares (ITUB4) or equivalent instruments, subject to the limits established by the Compensation Committee, to 10% of managers and 30% of senior managers. Of the total granted, one-third vests each year over a period of three years after the award, which is made in the coming year immediately after the performance year to which it relates. The number of preferred shares or share-based instruments granted is determined by the financial results of the organization/area as well as individual performance. The preferred shares or share-based instruments are delivered on the same date as the final portion of the profit-sharing payment, as determined in the relevant collective bargaining agreements. Compensation based on shares is not proportional to working time. The preferred share price is calculated on the seventh working day prior to the award, using the average price of ITUB4 on BM&FBOVESPA in the preceding thirty days from calculation.

 

We also have an institutional program called Partners Program, comprised of members of management and employees, in each case approved by our Personnel Committee, who had outstanding performance. Eligible employees are entitled to use part or their total annual variable compensation to purchase our preferred shares (Own Shares). If they hold the ownership of these Own Shares for three- and five-year terms as from the initial investment, the return on investment will be made through the receipt of our preferred shares (Partners Shares), also for three- and five-year terms. These Partners Shares will subsequently remain unavailable for five- and eight-year terms as from the initial investment in Own Shares. The Partners Program may also consider other instruments derived from shares as opposed to actual shares.

 

14.4. Describe the relations between the issuer and unions, indicating whether there were stoppage and strikes in the three past years

 

We have a permanent channel for dialog with the labor unions representing all our employees in various professional categories. Respect, transparency and a direct relationship are among the principles involved in our dealings with these entities. These activities are executed with a focus on innovative and negotiated solutions to minimize possible differences and areas of conflict involving our employees.

 

We guarantee our employees the right of free association with labor unions and recognize the rights and privileges of those that may be elected to executive positions in labor unions in accordance with prevailing Brazilian legislation and the collective labor agreements for each professional category to which we are party. In addition, we permit labor unions to hold membership campaigns. When requested, we hold meetings between the entities, our managers and/or employees.

 

We maintain our commitment to prioritize collective negotiations and a permanent agenda of matters to be discussed with labor unions. Such an agenda allows us to resolve conflicts efficiently and underscores our commitment to a permanent and direct relationship with the entities representing the employees.

 

 

 

 

All our employees in Brazil enjoy the support of collective labor agreements which guarantee rights over and above those provided under the labor legislation in addition to other benefits that may be granted to our employees of a non-recurring nature and in line with our policies.

 

In the collective bargaining negotiations with the bank’s employees during 2016, the financial sector suffered 22 business days of strikes with an average impact on our branches of 37.7% (the same percentage as in 2015). As in previous years, these work stoppages affected Brazilian banks generally since the labor action took place across the entire domestic financial system.

 

During the 2015 collective bargaining negotiations with the bank employee unions, the financial sector experienced a 14-business day strike with an average impact of 37.7% on our branch network.

 

During the bank employee wage negotiations in 2014, strike action lasted five business days, impacting our branches on an average of 25.4% during this period.

 

All these labor manifestations and strikes affecting our branches have a partial impact only on our business since at least some branches are able to open during the day and the entire network is never brought to a complete halt. In this context, it is worth pointing out that, in the past few years, we have seen a growing volume of operations which are transacted through our digital channels. This has made a significant contribution to minimizing the effects of strike action on our operations.

Event

 

Association with Banco BMG S.A. ("BMG"), aimed at offering, distributing and granting payroll loans in the Brazilian territory.

 

 

Main conditions of the transaction

 

On July 9, 2012, Itaú Unibanco entered into an association agreement with BMG, a privately-held Brazilian bank, aiming at the offering, distribution and sale of payroll loans in Brazil (“BMG Association”). The BMG Association is structured as a new financial institution, Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. ("Itaú BMG Consignado"), controlled by Itaú Unibanco, with initial direct interest of 70% in the total voting capital. BMG initially held the remaining 30% of interest. The Association’s initial stockholders’ equity was one (1) billion reais. Itaú Unibanco is entitled to nominate the majority of the Board of Directors members and the majority of its officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. BMG is entitled to nominate the commercial, operations and collection officers of the BMG Association, subject to Itaú Unibanco’s approval.

Until the merger of operations described below, BMG shared its distribution channels operated by banking correspondents with Itaú BMG Consignado, which had the right to finance 70% of the payroll loans generated by these distribution channels. The remaining 30% were directly contracted by BMG.

 

The payroll loans granted to Itaú Unibanco’s clients through its branches and other exclusive channels remain separate from the operations related to the BMG Association. Itaú Unibanco and its affiliates are also entitled to offer their products and services to the BMG Association’s clients.

 

This transaction was approved by the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE), and the definitive agreements regulating the BMG Association were executed on December 13, 2012, including an investment agreement setting forth the rights and obligations of each party in connection with the BMG Association. This transaction was consummated on January 7, 2013. In April 2013, the Central Bank of Brazil confirmed the operation.

 

Additionally, on April 29, 2014, an agreement was entered into to establish the combination of the payroll loan activities of BMG and Itaú BMG Consignado, which became concentrated in Itaú BMG Consignado. In consideration for this business combination, on July 25, 2014, Itaú BMG Consignado’s capital was increased, fully subscribed and paid up by BMG. The possibility of this combination was already provided for in the investment agreement of December 13, 2012 that regulates the BMG Association.

 

After this capital increase, Itaú Unibanco became the holder of a 60% interest in Itaú BMG Consignado‘s total and voting capital, and BMG became the holder of the remaining 40%.

 

Accordingly, from July 25, 2014, and during the term of the BMG Association, Itaú BMG Consignado is the exclusive vehicle of BMG and its controlling stockholders to offer payroll loans in the Brazilian territory, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the agreements that govern the BMG Association.

In Argentina

 

We had issued Argentinean Certificates of Deposits (CEDEAR) until December 2016, on the BCBA, which represent shares of foreign companies traded in Argentina. Our CEDEARs were backed by our preferred shares and they were traded on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA).

 

In 2017, we requested to the Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV), regulator in Argentina, the suspension of trading of our deposit certificates and the cancellation of our CEDEAR program; on March 10, 2017, we obtained this authorization from the regulatory body. We also requested the cancellation of the CEDEAR program on the CVM and are awaiting the formal authorization from this body.

In case of any of the events (a), (b) and (c) above, an event of default will occur only if the aggregate amount of the Debt with respect to which any of the events mentioned in the above items has occurred is equal to or higher than the amount equivalent to 0.8% of the Issuer’s reference equity for the most recent fiscal quarter.

ITEM 20. SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

 

20.1. Indicate whether the issuer adopted a trading policy for the securities issued by it by direct or indirect controlling stockholders, officers, members of the board of directors, the fiscal council or of any body created by a statutory provision that performs technical or advisory functions, informing:

 

We are subject to the rules established by the Brazilian Corporate Law and CVM Instruction No. 358/02, regarding the trading of securities issued by us. Additionally, although it has never been compulsory, since 2002 we have adopted a policy in this respect, which resulted in even more restrictive rules than those required by the regulatory body itself (CVM). We also rely on an internal compliance team whose activities include the monitoring of transactions by those that adhere to the policy on the securities issued by us.

 

Moreover, we have a Disclosure and Trading Committee (originating from the merger, in 2006, of the Disclosure Committee and the Trading Committee, both created in 2002), whose main duty is to manage the Trading Policy for Securities Issued by Itaú Unibanco Holding (“Trading Policy”) and the Disclosure Policy for Material Acts or Facts (“Disclosure Policy”).

 

Besides the regulation of the Trading Policy and internal structure, some departments, because they have access to client information, have policies that are even more specific and strict in order to avoid the undue use of insider information to obtain personal advantage.

 

a) date of approval

 

The current Trading Policy was created in 2002 and its provisions are constantly reviewed to ensure that they are in line with the best corporate governance practices. The latest change was made on October 27, 2016.

 

b) insiders

 

For the purpose of the Trading Policy, insiders are: (i) direct or indirect controlling stockholders, either by exclusive or shared control, and officers, members of the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Council or any bodies created by a statutory provision that performs technical or advisory functions of the Issuer; (ii) members of the statutory bodies of companies in which we are the only controlling stockholder, provided that said company does not have its own policy for the trading of securities; (iii) anybody who, in view of their job, duty or position in the Issuer, our parent company, or our subsidiary or affiliated companies, is aware of relevant information; (iv) the spouse or partner and any other dependent included in the annual income tax return of people indicated in items (i), (ii), and (iii), including the six-month term beginning on the resignation date; (v) people mentioned in items (i), (ii), and (iii) of this sub item who resigned from the Issuer of companies in which we are the only controlling stockholder, during the six-month term beginning on the resignation date; (vi) those who have a business, professional or trust relationship with us, such as independent auditors, securities analysts, consultants, and institutions that are part of the distribution system; and (vii). our former managers or the former managers of our subsidiaries, who had been expatriated, as well as their spouses or partners and any other dependents included in their annual income tax returns.

 

In addition, the people who are equivalent to insiders are: (a) the managers of portfolio and investment funds, companies or other institutions or entities in which insiders are the only quotaholders or stockholders, or in which they may influence trading decisions; (b) any legal entity directly or indirectly controlled by insiders; and (c) any person who has had access to information on a material act or fact through whether any of the insiders.

 

We also have compliance teams that, together with the officers of each area, identify persons who shall be bound by the Trading Policy in view of their department or the information to which they had access, and these persons are then recorded in a specific system.

 

Our system has approximately 9,512 people listed (including statutorily compliant persons, their relatives, and employees with access to insider information, companies, etc.).

 

c) main characteristics

 

The Trading Policy is managed by the Investor Relations Officer, assisted by the Disclosure and Trading Committee, the scope of which covers a range of internal actions aimed at improving the information flow and upholding the ethical conduct of the management members and employees who are subscribers to the policies. Regarding the Disclosure and Trading Policies, it is incumbent upon this committee: i advise the Investor Relations Officer; ii review the policies and recommend the Board of Directors any applicable change; iii resolve on possible questions about the interpretation of the policies texts; iv define the necessary actions to

 

 

 

 

divulge and disseminate such changes, including to the Issuer’s employees; v assist the Investor Relations Officer in investigating and deciding on any violation thereof, reporting possible infringements to the Integrity and Ethics Committee and to the Board of Directors, as applicable; vi analyze the content of the answers referring to official challenges of regulatory and self-regulatory bodies; and vii offer to the Investor Relations Officer a solution for cases either exceptional or not covered by law.

 

The Trading Policy sets forth several duties, among of which are:

 

Monthly disclosure of trading information:

 

i. officers, members of the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Council or of any bodies created by a statutory provision, that performs technical or advisory functions of the Issuer, should inform the Issuer the ownership and trading of securities issued by the Issuer or its subsidiaries or listed controlling companies or referenced thereto, including derivatives, and: a) the communication should be done in the first business day after the date the person is invested in the position or maximum five days after each trade is carried out; b) the communication must include the securities held by the person’s spouse from whom he/she is not legally separated, partner, any other dependent included in the annual income tax return, and companies he/she directly or indirectly controls;

 

ii. the Issuer should inform the ownership and the trading of securities issued by it by itself, its subsidiaries and affiliates;

 

iii. the communication of the transactions described in items “i” and “ii” above should be sent to CVM and, as the case may be, to BM&FBOVESPA and to SEC, NYSE and other stock exchanges and entities of organized over-the-counter market in which the securities of the Issuer are admitted for trading, within a term of 10 days after the end of the month that required the communication;

 

Disclosure of relevant trading activities:

 

i. any corporate entity or individual, or group of individuals, acting as a group or representing a common interest, which carry out relevant trading activities, these being the business or group of business through which the direct or indirect interest surpasses the upper and lower levels of 5%, 10% or 15%, and so on, of type or class of shares in the Issuer’s capital stock, should report this fact to the Issuer, and: a) this obligation also extends to the acquisition of any rights to shares and other securities and derivative financial instruments referenced to these shares, even though physical settlement is not expected; b) this communication should be made immediately after these transactions are completed, and the Reference Form should be updated within seven business days from the date the relevant trading activity occurred.

 

d) provision for black-out periods and description of the procedures adopted to inspect trading in such periods

 

Insiders may not: i. trade in securities issued by the Issuer or its subsidiaries (in Brazil or abroad), or referenced thereto, from the acknowledgment date to the disclosure date, including of the material act or fact to the market (the Investor Relations Officer may, regardless of justification or the existence of undisclosed material act or fact, determine exceptional black-out periods); ii. buy or sell securities before the end of a period of 180 days of the last disposal or acquisition of securities on stock exchanges or organized over-the-counter markets, respectively; iii. trade whenever an intention exists of entering into an incorporation, a total or partial spin-off, a merger, a transformation or a corporate reorganization; iv. rent shares or any other securities; v. operate with stock options, sell shares at forward markets or trade shares at futures markets; vi. trade in the period between the decision made by the proper corporate body to increase capital, distribute dividends, grant bonus on shares or on assets referenced thereto, approve split, reverse split, subscription of shares and the publication of the respective notices or announcements; and vii. trade within the period of fifteen (15) days prior to (a) the disclosure of the Issuer’s quarterly information and annual information, or (b) the publication of the notice that will make them available to stockholders, according to the disclosure schedule of the current year.

 

Additionally, direct or indirect controlling stockholders, either by exclusive or shared control, officers, members of the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Council and any bodies created by a statutory provision that performs technical or advisory functions, or members of the statutory bodies of companies in which the Issuer is the only controlling stockholder, are prohibited to trade in if: a. they have not announced their intention to Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. to trade securities issued by the Issuer and its subsidiaries, or referenced thereto, up to 10:30 a.m. of the same day they intend to do so; b. they have traded securities issued by the Issuer and its subsidiaries, or referenced thereto, for up to three days, or 60% of the business days, of the same week (this prohibition will not apply if the Issuer, its subsidiaries, affiliates or another company under common control do not trade in treasury shares); and c. the treasury department of the Issuer, its subsidiaries, affiliates or another company under common control trades shares issued by the Issuer as a result of a crisis or other economic

 

 

 

 

facts implying high volatility of prices and/or low market liquidity, or as determined by their respective Investor Relations Officers.

 

The Trading Policy also prohibits the Issuer to purchase its own shares in the period described in items i. and vii. above. Moreover, the Board of Directors is prohibited from resolving on the acquisition or disposal of shares of own issue, should an agreement or contract have been entered into for the transfer of shareholding control, or should an option or general authority for the same purpose have been granted, or should an intention exist of carrying out a takeover, a total or partial spin-off, a merger, a transformation or a corporate reorganization of the Issuer, and as long as the transaction has not been made public by means of the disclosure of material fact.

 

In order to trade securities issued by us or referred to them, the persons related to the Trading Policy should solely make use of the securities brokers of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate, which have controls to prevent the transactions described above from breaching the Trading Policy, as applicable, and are also monitored by the compliance teams.

 

e) where the policy can be found

 

The Trading Policy is available on the Issuer’s Investor Relations website (www.itau.com.br/investor-relations), in Corporate Governance – Rules and Policies.

 

20.2. Supply other information that the Issuer may deem relevant

 

In November 2004, following a detailed national and international survey of the best corporate governance practices, we became, together with Itaúsa – Investimentos Itaú S.A., the first Brazilian companies to voluntarily adopt operating rules for the trading of treasury shares. These rules now govern our trading of own shares on stock exchanges.

 

In the management’s view, our adopting these rules has brought many benefits, including reducing operational, financial and strategic risks, creating an in-house culture for these operations in capital markets, minimizing possible market concentration or improper pricing, and bolstering a securities repurchase strategy focused on the preservation of liquidity and value to stockholders. All this has led to greater transparency in this type of operation.

 

Share Buyback Program

 

We have a share buyback program approved by our Board of Directors. As disclosed to the market through a material fact, the last approval was granted on February 1, 2016 and authorized the acquisition of up to 10,000,000 common shares and 50,000,000 preferred shares issued by us, with no capital decrease, to be held in treasury, cancelled or replaced in the market. We clarify that it is incumbent upon the Executive Board to develop opportunities for acquisition of these shares on stock exchanges at market value, in the period from February 3, 2016 to August 2, 2017.

 

Aiming at increasing transparency with the market, we disclose monthly the number of shares acquired under our share buyback program on our Investor Relations website (http://www.itau.com.br/investor-relations/announcements-and-meetings).

 

For information on the history of previous buyback programs, see to item 19.1.

 

 

 

 

ITEM 21. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE POLICY

 

21.1. Describe internal standards, regulations or procedures adopted by the issuer to ensure that the information to be publicly disclosed is gathered, processed and reported accurately and on a timely basis

 

As mentioned in item 20.1, we have a Disclosure and Trading Committee that manages the Disclosure Policy for Material Acts or Facts (“Disclosure Policy”) and the Trading Policy for Securities Issued by Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (“Trading Policy”).

 

One of the responsibilities of this committee is to ensure that information to be publicly disclosed is gathered, processed and reported accurately on a timely basis. For this purpose, its duty is to regulate the adherence of insiders to our Disclosure Policy, which has effective mechanisms to collect information, as well as severe sanctions in case of non-compliance (see item 21.2 for more information on the Disclosure Policy).

 

In accordance with our Disclosure Policy, a document disclosing a material act or fact will be prepared by the Investor Relations area, together with the Corporate Legal area and with the executive boards involved in the transaction that gave rise to the material act or fact. The document will be reviewed by the Director-General, by the Vice President or by the Officer of the area involved and one Legal Officer, and its content will be appreciated by the Disclosure and Trading Committee and approved by the Investor Relations Officer.

 

Subject to opportunity and convenience criteria, the Disclosure and Trading Committee may also (i) approve the disclosure of unaudited preliminary information, related to our quarterly, semi-annual and annual results, or (ii) approve the advanced disclosure of quarterly, semi-annual and annual results duly audited.

 

The body in charge of corporate matters will disclose, under the supervision of the Investor Relations Officer, the material act or fact, on a priority and simultaneous basis: a) to CVM, to SEC, to NYSE, to BM&FBOVESPA S.A. and, as the case may be, to other stock exchanges and entities of organized over-the-counter markets; and b) to the market in general, by publications in newspapers with wide circulation, regularly used by the Issuer, or in news portals in the internet that provides the whole information in a section with free access.

 

The responsibilities of the Investor Relations Officer, Marcelo Kopel, include: (i) disclosing and reporting to the markets and proper authorities any material act or fact occurring in or related to our business; (ii) ensuring the wide and immediate dissemination of the material act or fact; (iii) disclosing the material act or fact simultaneously in all markets in which our securities are admitted for trading; (iv) providing additional clarification on the disclosure of a material act or fact to the proper authorities upon their request; and (v) inquiring people who have access to material acts or facts in the event contemplated in the above sub item or if there is an atypical oscillation in the quotation, price or quantity of our securities traded or referenced thereto, for the purpose of checking if they are aware of information that should be disclosed to the market.

 

21.2. Describe the policy for the disclosure of a material act or fact adopted by the issuer, indicating the communication channel or channels used to disseminate information on material acts and facts and the procedures related to the maintenance of the confidentiality of undisclosed relevant information and where the policy can be found

 

The Disclosure Policy is available on the Issuer’s Investor Relations website (http://www.itau.com.br/investor-relations/corporate-governance/rules and policies) as well as on the website of CVM.

 

The communication channels used to disseminate information on material acts and facts are:

 

a) news portal in the internet that provides the whole information in a section with free access; or

 

b) newspapers with wide circulation, regularly used.

 

Moreover, material acts or facts will also be available on the Investor Relations website and may be disclosed by:

a) e-mail;

b) conference call;

 

 

 

 

c) public meetings with trade associations, investors, analysts or stakeholders in Brazil and abroad;

d) press releases;

e) social media; and

f) news distribution mechanisms.

 

Insiders should maintain secrecy about the information related to the material act or fact until it is disclosed to the market, as well as care for the maintenance of the secrecy by dealing with the subject only with people who actually need to know it.

 

For the purposes of the Disclosure Policy, insiders are: (i) our direct or indirect controlling stockholders, officers, members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council and any bodies created by a statutory provision that performs technical or advisory functions; (ii) members of the statutory bodies of companies in which Itaú Unibanco Holding is the only controlling stockholder; (iii) anybody who, in view of their job, duty or position in the Company, its parent company, subsidiary or affiliated companies, is aware of relevant information; (iv) the spouse or partner and any other dependent included in the annual income tax return of the people indicated in items (i) and (ii); (v) the people mentioned in (i), (ii) and (iii) who leaves the Issuer or companies in which it is the only controlling stockholder, during a six-month term beginning on the resignation date; and (vi) those who have a business, professional or trust relationship with the Issuer, such as independent auditors, securities analysts, consultants and institutions that are part of the distribution system.

 

Insiders should maintain the security of the means where the relevant information is stored and transmitted (e-mails, files, etc.), preventing any type of unauthorized access, as well as restricting the sending of information not properly protected.

 

In the event that the insiders leave or no longer take part in the business or project to which the relevant information is related, they will continue to meet the duty of secrecy until this information is disclosed to the proper authorities and to the market.

 

Insiders should maintain secrecy about the information related to the material act or fact until it is disclosed to the market, as well as provide for trusted subordinated personnel and third parties to do the same, and are jointly and severally responsible in the case of non-compliance.

 

Any insider who discloses by mistake a material act or fact to any person who is not an insider before it is disclosed to the market will immediately inform the Investor Relations Officer of this undue disclosure, so that the Investor Relations Officer can take the appropriate measures.

 

We have mechanisms and policies to ensure information control, such as restrictions on the use of (i) external e-mails (which means that every piece of information e-mailed must go through the internal emails of our employees, which are constantly monitored by a specific team), (ii) mobile phones in sensitive areas (such as capital markets), and (iii) pen drives, compact discs and other information storage devices.

 

We have established an Internal Information Security Policy in which information is classified according to the confidentiality and protection required for the following levels: restricted (for example, a material fact), confidential, internal and public. For this reason, business-related requirements, sharing or restricting access to information and the impact in the event of misuse of information should be considered.

 

We have also implemented awareness actions, aimed at making policies even more effective (for example, lectures on the need to keep documents containing confidential information in safe places, as well as recommendations on the disposal of these documents). In addition, we have a team that periodically inspects the workplace of our employees to identify possible deficiencies in this regard. We also classify the information conveyed in and out of the bank in accordance with the confidentiality level.

 

We and Itaúsa – Investimentos Itaú S.A. were the first companies to adhere to the Brazilian Association of Publicly-Held Companies (“ABRASCA”) Guidebook on the Control and Disclosure of Material Information.

 

We will not comment on rumors about us getting around the market, unless these may significantly affect our securities prices.

In connection with the audits of the financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, on which we issued unqualified audit reports dated February 06, 2017, February 01, 2016 and February 02, 2015, respectively, we performed a review of the accounting information included in the Reference Form of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

Scope of the Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with NBC TA 720 – “The auditor´s responsibility relating to other information in documents containing audited financial statements” which establishes procedures to be applied in those circumstances. Our procedures comprised: (a) inquiry of, and discussion with, management responsible for the accounting, financial and operational areas of the Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries with regard to the main criteria adopted for the preparation of the accounting information presented in the Reference Form and (b) reading the significant accounting information included in the Reference Form to assess its consistency with the audited financial statements. The accounting information included in the Reference Form is presented by the Board of Directors for the purpose of complying with Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) Instruction 480 and subsequent amendments; however, it should not be considered part of the financial statements.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accounting information included in the Reference Form referred to above in order that it be presented, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with the financial statements as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, taken as a whole.
