REASONS FOR RE-SUBMISSION

 

São Paulo, October 14, 2013.

 

The Company hereby re-submits its Management Proposal, initially presented on October 2, 2013, referring to the Annual and Special Shareholders’ Meeting called for October 29, 2013, at 2:30 p.m., due to the change in the following items, in accordance with the resolution made at the Board of Directors’ Meeting held on September 2, 2013:

 

(1)       Appointment of an additional candidate for the position of member of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the consequent amendment to item 1.3. and the information included in Annex IV to the Company’s Management Proposal.

(2)       Change in the deadline established for the payment of dividends by the Company related to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, with the consequent change in item 1.2 and the information included in Annex III to the Company’s Management Proposal. The amendment is proposed due to the new rules regarding taxes on the calculation of income and distribution of dividends introduced by the Normative Instruction of the Federal Revenue of Brazil 1,397 of September 16, 2013. Said normative brought a new understanding regarding levying taxes on dividends, which would be exempt up to the limit of income calculated in accordance with the accounting criteria in effect in December 2007. The Company, confident that this matter will be clarified soon (in accordance with declarations of the Secretary of the Federal Revenue of Brazil) and, in the best interests of its shareholders, opted for proposing the approval of the payment of dividends as soon as it is legally secure to do so during the current fiscal year.

Annex I

 

 

Analysis and Discussion of Management on the Financial Position and Operating Results

 

10.1 – General financial and equity position

 

The items presented below were assessed and commented by our Officers:

 

a. General financial and equity position

 

Our officers believe that we are Brazilian leaders in the acquisition, development and sale of agricultural properties with high valuation potential. From the beginning of operations in 2006, the Company has been presenting high levels of growth not only of operations, but also in its financial results.

 

Our net sales revenue has increased, at an average growth of 97% from 2011 to 2013. In the year ended June 30, 2013, we closed the year with Net Revenue of R$308.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA of R$23.7 million and Net Income of R$28.7 million.

 

On June 30, 2013, our indebtedness comprised mainly loans, financing with development banks and acquisitions payable of our rural properties, maintaining the same indebtedness profile for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Our Officers believe that we present solid financial and equity position to maintain our business plan, develop our activities and fulfill with our obligations in the short and medium term, with access to financing sources.

 

Our year starts on July 1 of a year and ends on June 30 of the following year.

 

Our fiscal year follows the calendar year.

 

Our Officers believe that we have the appropriate capital structure for our operations and proper indebtedness level.

b. Capital structure and possibility of redemption of shares or quotas, indicating:

 

On June 30, 2013, our Officers believe that our capital structure is adequate to supply our needs, since the result of our equity was R$586.9 million, corresponding to an increase of 5.0% in relation to the same prior year period, when our equity was R$558.9 million. The equity for the year ended June 30, 2011 was R$576.9 million.

 

On June 30, 2013, our capital structure comprised basically loans and financing with development banks and financial investments of immediate liquidity, keeping the same capital structure of the year ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

The table below shows the evolution of our capital structure, separating in two fundamental elements (i) Third party capital; and (ii) own capital. As a consequence, we have an analysis of the payment capacity of long and short term obligations, as well as the identification of the main source of capital of our Company.

i. events of redemption and ii. Calculation formula of the redemption amount

 

There is no event of redemption of our shares issued, in addition to the ones legally foreseen, and accordingly, there is no calculation formula of the redemption amount.

 

c. Payment capacity in relation to financial commitments assumed

 

Our officers believe that we have payment capacity of our financial commitments for the next 12 months. On June 30, 2013, the balance of available funds linked to the capital structure characterized by low indebtedness show sufficient payment capacity of our financial commitments for the next 12 months.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents position on June 30, 2013 was R$75.7 million and in the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, was, respectively,  R$67.5 million and R$135.6 million. On the same dates, our long and short term loans and financing corresponded to R$101.9 million, R$94.4 million and R$93.3 million, respectively.

 

d. Sources of financing for working capital and for investments in non current assets

 

Our officers believe that the generation of the Company’s operating cash is sufficient to fulfill with the working capital and current liabilities obligations. In the years ended June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013, we had no liquidity deficiency which required the contracting of financing to cover it. We do not have pre-approved line for the contracting of working capital loan to cover liquidity deficiency.

 

In the event of possible mismatch of the available funds with the amounts falling due in the short term, we believe that we are able to issue marketable securities for funding via capital market.

 


 

 

 

e. Sources for working capital financing and for investments in non current assets to be used for liquidity deficiency coverage

We intend to maintain our debt profile in preference for short and long term financing, with development banks and/or government development bodies, which offer costs more attractive than those practiced in the Market, as was maintained in the years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

 

If necessary, we may carry out other financial operations with the principal financial institutions to strengthen our cash position.

 

f. Levels of indebtedness and features of such debts

Revenue from Sale of Properties.

 

We earn operating revenues through the sale of our properties. We acquire rural properties which we believe to have significant potential to generate value by means of the maintenance of the asset and development of profitable agricultural activities. From the acquisition of our rural properties, we implement cultures of more added value and transform these rural properties with investments in infrastructure and technology, in addition to executing leasing contracts with third parties. According to our strategy, when the rural properties are deemed to have achieved an excellent value, we shall sell these rural properties to realize capital gains.

Currently, we earn revenue through the sale of soybean, corn, rice and sorghum.

These crops are raised not only for the obtaining of non real estate operating result, but also, as appreciation measure of the real estate value of rural properties.

Our production is sold in the following states: (i) Goiás; (ii) Mato Grosso; (iii) Bahia; (iv) Piauí; (v) Maranhão; and (vi) Minas Gerais, and each state has specific rules regarding the mentioned tax.

 

 ICMS is a state tax and as such, has its taxation defined by the local law of the State in which the sales transaction occurs. As general rules, the tax levies on the amount of the sales transaction (price of the good) and is part of it, at the average applicable rate of 17% for transactions with goods inside the State and of 7% or 12% in the interstate transactions. The tax exemptions in transactions inside the country are usually set forth by agreement between the States, and should be internalized by each State in which the transaction is tactically or expressly conducted. The tax does not levy on transactions and services addressing goods abroad, including primary products and industrialized or semi-finished products or services.

 

State of Goiás: the ICMS exemption in the state of Goiás is set forth in Article 74, Annex XII – Of Specific Obligations Applicable to Certain Transactions – of State Decree 4.852/1997, which approves the Regulation of the State Tax Code (RCTE-GO). Such article sets forth that the determination comprised in the chapter in which it is included shall be applicable to some situations, including the rendering of related services, supported by the exemption. Such situations would be: “(i) exit abroad directly conducted by the remitter; (ii) exit with the specific purpose of export abroad addressed to the exporter trading company, including trading, or other establishment of the same remitter (ICMS Agreement 113/96, first clause, sole paragraph); and (iii) exit for formation of export lot in customs facilities (ICMS Agreement83/06, first clause)”.

 


 

 

 

 

State of Mato Grosso: the ICMS tax exemption in indirect export transactions is set forth in the ICMS Regulation (RICMS-MT), approved by State Decree 1.944/1989, in Title I –  Tax - Chapter II –  Non Incidence - Article 4, VII, with the following writing: “transactions and services not foreseen in item XIX, which address abroad goods, including primary products and industrialized and semi-finished products or services, subject to the provisions of article 4-A to 4-E.” State of Bahia: the non incidence on direct or indirect exports is set forth in ICMS Regulation (RICMS-BA), approved by State Decree 6.284/1997, in Title  III – Special taxation Systems - Chapter XLV – Transactions and Services Addressing Goods and Services Abroad - Section I - Non Incidence - in Article 582, which sets forth that: “The non incidence referred to in the prior article is also applicable to the exit of good with the specific purpose of export abroad, addressed to (Supplementary Law 87/96): (i) exporter trading company, including "trading"; (ii) another establishment of the same company; and (iii) customs warehouse.”

 

State of Piauí: The non incidence of ICMS is set forth by ICMS (RICMS-PI) approved by State Decree 7.560/1989, in Chapter II – Exemption and Non Incidence - Section I - Exemption - Article 4, II, with the following writing: “transactions and services addressing goods abroad, including primary and semi-finished industrialized, or services, are exempt from the tax.”

 

State of Maranhão: The non incidence of ICMS Exemption from Special Regime in the transaction of exit of good with specific purpose of export abroad is disciplined in articles 403 to 412 of ICMS Regulation, approved by Decree 19.714/2003 and art. 8, sole paragraph, items I and II of Law 7.799/2002.

 

State of Minas Gerais: Levies on transactions related to value added tax on sales and services. State and Federal District competence, as set forth in art. 155, II, of 1988 Constitution, is presented as one of the main sources of financial resources for the consecution of governmental actions.  ICMS general rules are included in Supplementary Law 87/1996, known as “Lei Kandir”. In Minas Gerais, are also in force Law 6.763/1975 and ICMS Regulation (RICMS), approved by Decree 43.080/2002.

 

Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Social Contribution on Revenue (“COFINS”).  

 

PIS and COFINS contributions, levy, as general rules, on the revenue and its rates fixed at (i) 0.65% and 3.0%, respectively, in the cumulative regime; and (ii) 1.65% and 7,6%, respectively, in the non cumulative regime.  PIS and COFINS applicable calculation regime is determined in accordance with certain factors, as the nature and activity of the company, its income tax regime and type of revenue earned, among others. On June 30, 2011, we and Jaborandi Agrícola were subject to the non cumulative regime of PIS and COFINS; the other Subsidiaries subject to  PIS and COFINS cumulative regime.

 

PIS and COFINS contributions shall not levy on revenues arising from (i) export of good abroad; (ii) rendering of services for individual or legal entity resident or domiciled abroad, whose payment represents inflow of foreign currency, and (iii) sales to export trading companies with the specific purpose of export.

 

We sell with export purpose the entire soybean production, for the tradings: Bunge, Cargill and Dreyfus. For this reason, we are not subject to PIS and COFINS payment. As from the issue of Invoice, the tradings have 180 days to export the goods.  PIS and COFINS legislation, specially law 10.925/2004, establishes the incidence of both contributions at zero rate on revenues arising from sales in the local market (domestic transactions) of certain products included in the basic food basket, provided that the specific criteria of said legislation and mentioned products are complied with

 

 


 

 

 

Moreover, law 11.727/2008 determines the suspension of the incidence of PIS and COFINS contributions on the sales of sugarcane for legal entity producer of alcohol, including fuel.

 

 

 

 Rural Workers’ Assistance Fund (“FUNRURAL”).  

 

Being sale carried out by individual or legal entity, the rural worker shall be levied at 2.3% on total production sold. In the case of sales by legal entity to another legal entity the amount charged is 2.85%, also levying on the total amount of the transaction.

 

In the cases of sales from individual to legal entity, by force of law, the acquirers, agents and cooperatives of rural production are entitled to highlight from the price paid to the rural worker the amount corresponding to the tax and transfer it to INSS. In the cases of sales from legal entity to another legal entity the payment is made by the seller, with no tax retention by the purchaser.

 

With the enactment of the Constitutional Amendment 33, of December 11, 2001, all revenues arising from export are exempt from social contributions. Such revenues are also exempt from the economic domain intervention contribution, addressed to the National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI), Social Service for Trade (SESC), and National Service for Rural Training (SENAR), among others, in addition to the  Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL),Social Integration Program (PIS), Social Contribution on Revenue (COFINS), already previously mentioned. Accordingly, the rural workers are exempt from the payment of contribution on sales, exclusively when making the direct export of their agricultural production.

 

It should be mentioned that, for FUNRURAL calculation purposes, the revenue arising from sales with Trading Companies or export trading companies incorporated in the country, it is considered revenue arising from local Market and not export, even if such companies export the goods later.

Statement of Consolidated Income – comparison between years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Net sales revenue

 

Our net sales revenue increased 79% in the year ended June 30, 2013, from R$172.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 to R$ 308.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2013, mainly due to: i) increase of 370% in the revenue from sale of farms, from R$26.1 million in FY12 (sale of São Pedro Farm) to R$122.7 million in FY13 (sale of Horizontina Farm and of areas of Araucária and Cremaq farms); (ii) supply of sugarcane to ETH in the amount of R$62.6 million and (iii) 15% increase in the grains revenue, from R$112.4 million in FY12 (167 thousand tons) to R$128.9 million in FY13 (165 thousand tons).

 


 

 

 

 

Revenue from Sales of Grains – in the year ended June 30, 2013, our revenues from sales of grains increased R$16.5 million, representing 15% increase in relation to prior year, from R$112.4 million, related to the sale of 167 thousand tons of grains, to R$128.9 million. This refers to the sale of 165 thousand tons. The drop in soybean and corn productivity, due to the strong draught in the Northeast farms, mainly in the state of Bahia, has directly impacted on the increase of grains revenues, which presented a lower level of growth than in prior years.

 

Revenue from sale of Sugarcane – our sugarcane revenue arises from the exclusive supply of sugarcane to ETH. Sugarcane revenue in FY13 increased 52% in relation to the prior year, from R$41.3 million, related to 636 thousand tons to R$62.6 million, related to 1,048 thousand tons of sugarcane supplied to ETH.

 

Revenue from leasing of land – our revenue from leasing of land increased 146%, from R$0.5 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 to R$1.2 million in the year ended June 30, 2013.

Other Revenues – other revenues increased 249%, from R$0.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, to R$1.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2013, which arises from the sale of byproducts of grains (residuals).

 

Sales deductions – Our taxes on sales and services increased 1%, from R$8.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 to R$8.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2013.

 

Gain/loss of biological assets and agricultural products – the gain or loss in the variation of fair value of biological assets and agricultural products is determined by the difference between the fair value and the book value. The book value considers the investments and costs effectively incurred up to the assessment. In the year ended June 30, 2013 we assessed gain of R$2.3 million in biological assets and agricultural products and on June 30, 2012 loss of R$0.4 million in biological assets and agricultural products.

 

Reversal of provision of agricultural products after harvest - the reversal of agricultural products after harvest changed from loss of R$2.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 to profit of R$1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. Such variations result from the difference in the price of grains inventories as from the harvest until the end of the accounting period.

 

Cost of Sales of Agricultural Products – our cost of agricultural products increased 25% in the year ended June 30, 2013, from R$136.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 to R$170,6 million in the year ended June 30, 2013. Due to (i) increase of 7% of soybean COS; (ii) increase of 18% of corn COS and (iii) increase of 64% of sugarcane COS. Due to the adjustments of fair value of agricultural products, the variations in the unit costs in the years are directly related to the market prices of commodities upon harvest.

 

Cost of Sales of Farm – our cost of sales of farm increased 418% in the year ended June 30 2013, from R$13.1 million in the year ended June 30 2012, related to the acquisition value plus investments net of depreciation of São Pedro Farm, to R$67.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2013, related to the acquisition value plus investments net of depreciation of Horizontina Farm and areas of Araucária and Cremaq farms.

 

 


 

 

 

Profits – due to the above exposed, we presented gross profit of R$73.7 million on June 30, 2013, in comparison to gross profit of R$19.7 million on June 30, 2012.

 

Selling Expenses – our selling expenses increased 249%, from R$4.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, to R$14.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2013.

Consolidated Statement of Income – comparison of the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Net Sales Revenue

 

The revenue increased R$66.7 million, from R$79.5 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$146.2 million in the year ended June 30, 2012. This increase was mainly due to (i) sales of sugarcane to ETH Bioenergia, which generated revenue of R$40.1 million, increase of R$16.0 million compared to 2011; and (ii) increase in sales of grains of R$ 50.7million, which generated revenue of R$105.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2012.

 


 

 

 

 

Revenue from sale of grains – the revenue from sale of grains increased R$50.7 million, from R$55.2 million during the year ended June 30, 2011 (reflecting sales of 71,000 tons) to R$105.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 (reflecting sales of 172,000 tons). This increase was mainly due to (i) increase in our planted area of 7,467 hectares and (ii) sale of part of the production of grains harvest 2010/2011 and winter harvest of corn.

  

Revenue from sale of  sugarcane – the revenue from sale of sugarcane increased R$16.1 million, from R$24.1 million (reflecting sales of 522,300 tons) in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$40.2 million (reflecting sales of 636,000 tons) in the year ended June 30, 2012. This increase was mainly due to the sale of sugarcane to ETH Bioenergia in accordance with our supply contract of sugarcane with ETH Bioenergia.

 

Gain from sale of farms - During the year ended June 30, 2012, we recognized gain from the sale of São Pedro farm of R$13.0 million representing the difference between the sales results of R$23.3 million. During the year ended June 30, 2011, we did not sell any of our farms.

 

Gains (losses) in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural products- The gains (losses) in the value of biological assets and agricultural products decreased  from gains in the amount of R$22.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to loss of R$417 thousand the year ended June 30, 2012, as a consequence of (i)  decrease in corn inventories, since we cultivated corn in the winter in 2010 but not in 2011, and (ii) a reduction in the value of the biological asset in our areas of sugarcane. This reduction was mainly due  to a reduction in sugarcane productivity resulting from the delay in the sugarcane processing facilities of ETH Bioenergia, which forced us to delay our harvest of sugarcane. Such delay resulted from the delay in the construction due to ETH Bioenergia inability in obtaining financing in accordance with the initial construction program.

 

Impairment in net realizable value of agricultural product after harvest – reversal of impairment previously made to the net realizable value of our agricultural production after harvest increased from loss of R$986 thousand in the year ended June 30, 2011 to loss of R$2.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2012. Such variations result from the difference in price of grains inventories at harvest time until the closing of the related accounting period.

 

Cost of sales – our costs of sales increased at R$74.9 million, to R$136.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, from R$61.5 million in the year ended June 30, 2011, mainly due to the increase in sales of grains and sugarcane.

 

Cost of grains sold – our average cost per ton of gains sold decreased at R$83.8, from R$653.4 per ton (corresponding to 71,000 tons at a total cost of R$46.4 million) in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$569.6 per ton (corresponding to 172,000 tons at a total cost of R$98.0 million) in the year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Cost of sugarcane sold - our average cost per ton of sugarcane sold increased at R$30.1 million, from R$28.3 per ton (corresponding to 522,300 tons at the total cost of R$14.8 million) in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$58.4 per ton (corresponding to 636,000 tons at the total cost of R$37.2 million) in the year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Gross profit – for the above mentioned reasons, in the year ended June 30, 2012 our gross profit was R$19.7 million, representing a reduction of R$20.1 million when compared to R$39.8 million in the year ended June 30, 2011. The change in gross profit is mainly attributed to:

 


 

 

 

 

(a)  a reduction in gross profit related to grains of R$24.5 million mainly due to: (i) despite the increase in the volume sold (from 71,000 in 2011 to 172,000 in 2012) and an increase in revenue (from R$55.2 million to R$105.9 million) our gain in the fair value of grains not yet harvested decreased at R$22.1 million due to the lower level of productivity in our farms in the state of Bahia; (ii) our costs increased at $51.6 million as a consequence from the change in the mix of grains sold with more percentage of soybean and less percentage of corn sold in 2012 in comparison to 2011, with soybean having a higher production cost than corn, with increase in the cost effectively higher than the offset of additional revenue; and (iii) a reduction in gross profit of R$7.6 million in the sugarcane segment, which resulted from a lower gain in the fair value of sugarcane not yet harvested of R$1.1 million due to a reduction in the productivity of sugarcane arising from the delay in the sugarcane processing facilities of ETH Bioenergia as explained above, and

 

(b)  a reduction of R$2.4 million resulting from higher cost of sugarcane per ton mainly due to the increased costs in Alta Taquari farm, which have not been totally incurred during the year ended June 30, 2011.

 

These reductions in gross profit were partially offset by an increase due to the gain in the sale of farms of R$13.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 whereas no farm was sold in the year ended June 30, 2011.

 

(thousands R$ ) 2012 AV 2012 (%) 2011 AV 2011 (%) AH 2012/2011 
(%)
General and Administrative expenses (28.892) 16,8% (26.330) 33% 9,7%
Depreciation and Amortization (1.127) 0,7% (991) 1% 13,7%
Personnel expenses (15.832) 9,2% (12.936) 16% 22,4%
Expenses with Services Rendered (5.328) 3,1% (9.909) 12% 46,2%
Leasing and Rentals in General (632) 0,4% 0% n.a.
Other Expenses (5.973) 3,5% (2.494) 3% 139,5%

 

 

The increase of 9.7% in general and administrative expenses was mainly a consequence from (i) increase in personnel expenses, due to bonus provision and (ii) increase in other expenses, as expenses with services related to fees for monitoring tax and labor processes of farms, costs of transaction for the acquisition of Jatobá farm, expenses of publication and payment of rural territorial taxes. The increase was partially offset by the expense in February 2011 with the termination of the Advisory Contract executed by the Company and Paraná Consultora de Investimentos S.A. There was no such expense in 2012.

 

Selling expenses – our selling expenses increased R$1.1 million, from R$2.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$4.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, mainly due to the increase in production and consequent increase in the sale of agricultural products.

 

General and administrative expenses – our general and administrative expenses increased R$2.6 million, from R$26.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$28.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Other gains, net - in the year ended June 30, 2011, we recorded other gains of R$73 thousand related to sale of equipment, in comparison to a gain of R$10 thousand in the year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Financial income – our financial income increased R$12.4 million, from R$25.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$38.1 million in the same 2012 period, mainly due to (i) unrealized gains with derivatives in the amount of R$8.2 million  in the year ended June 30, 2012, which was of R$1.2 million in the prior year; (ii) realized gains with derivatives in the amount of R$3.8 million which impacted only on the year ended June 30, 2012; (iii) gain in the remeasurement of trade accounts receivable for the sale of farm in the amount of R$6.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, representing an increase of R$3.8 million in comparison to the previous year, mainly as a consequence of a higher average balance in receivables for the sale of farms as a result from the sale of São Pedro farm in September 2011, and also as a consequence of an increase in the price of soybean, an appreciation of US dollar before real and a reduction in the interest rate in Brazil used by the Company to establish the present value of its receivables; (iv) income of R$2.9 million from the foreign exchange rate variation which impacted only on the year ended June 30, 2012 and (v) monetary variation of R$1.9 million, representing an increase of R$1.0 million in comparison to the prior year. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of R$6.3 million in the income from financial investments.

 


 

 

 

 

Financial expenses – our financial expenses increased R$27.8 million from R$16.5 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to R$44.3 million in the same 2011 period, as a consequence of (i) increase in realized losses with derivatives, from R$4.6 million in 2011 to R$10.3 million in the year ended June 30, 2012; (ii) unrealized losses with derivatives of R$21.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, which did not occur in the previous year, due to the increase in the soybean market quotation and (iii) an increase in the foreign exchange rate variation, from R$398 thousand in 2011 to R$2.8 million in the year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Income tax and social contribution – we recognized gain associated to income tax and social contribution of R$12.8 million in the year ended June 30, 2012 when compared to an expense of R$5.2 million in the same 2011period. The reduction in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the sale of São Pedro farm whose gain is taxed at a rate lower than 34%, offset by the increase in our taxable income.

 

Net income (loss)  - for the above mentioned reasons, we recorded net loss of R$6.6 million in the year ended June 30, 2012, when compared to the net income of R$14.7 million for the same 2011 period.

10.2 – Operating and financial result

 

a.         Results of the issuer’s operations, in especial:

 

i.          description of any important components of revenue

 

Our sales and services revenue arises from (i) sale of rural properties; (ii) sale of sugarcane production; (iii) sales of grains production, namely, soybean, corn, rice and sorghum (iv) as well as from the leasing of land to our subsidiaries. The tables below show the breakdown of our gross revenue, in the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013:

 

 


 

 

 

  2013 AV 2013 (%) 2012 AV 2012 (%) AH 2013/2012
(%)
Revenues from Grains 128.941 42% 112.408 65% 15%
Revenues from Sugarcane 62.583 20% 41.260 24% 52%
Leasing Revenues 1.261 0% 513 0% 146%
Revenues from Farm Sale 122.713 40% 26.100 15% 370%
Other revenues 1.253 0% 359 0% 249%
Deductions from Gross Revenue (8.391) -3% (8.322) -5% 1%

Gain/loss on biological assets 2.289 1% (417) 0% n.a.

Cost of Farm Sales (67.898) -22% (13.113) -8% 418%
Gross Profit 73.767 24% 19.678 11% 275%

 

 

ii.         factors significantly affecting operating results

 

With the expansion of the planted area, our gross revenue from sales of grains and sugarcane has been increasing since the beginning of operations in 2007. In the year ended June 30, 2013, net revenue was R$312.3 million, increase of 85% in relation to the prior year.

 

b.         Changes in revenue attributable to changes in prices, foreign Exchange rate, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services

 

Our main products are exposed to changes in prices of commodities, foreign Exchange rate and other indices linked to our debts.

 

Part of the volume of receivables is linked to US dollar quotation and, as a consequence, our revenues are impacted by the foreign Exchange rate variation. The production of some agricultural commodities  like soybean, cotton among others may be priced in reais or in US dollars by unit of weight. The exposure to US dollar occurs only when an agricultural commodity has its prices fixed in US currency by unit of weight. In this case, it is necessary the monitoring of foreign exchange exposure. To reduce these impacts on cash flow, we establish limits for foreign Exchange exposure, which cannot be above 5% (both call and put option) of the expected revenue for those commodities which are typically sold in US dollars.

 

Inflation, on the other hand, does not impact directly on the variation of our revenues, since our products are agricultural commodities  internationally traded, with quotations traded in stock Exchange, whose prices obey the local and worldwide offer and demand.

 

c.         Impact from inflation, from variation in prices of main inputs and products, from foreign Exchange and interest rate on the operating and financial result of the issuer

 

Some inputs necessary for the agricultural production, as pesticides, fertilizers, among others have their prices linked to US dollar. In these cases, the foreign Exchange exposure is generated between the date of definition of the input price(when  in US dollar) and the date of its payment.

 

 


 

 

 

To reduce these impacts on the cash flow, we establish limits for foreign Exchange exposure which cannot be above 5% (both call and put option) of the expected revenue for those commodities which are typically sold in US dollars.

 

The other costs, such as Manpower and general costs, are influenced by the inflation rates and may cause increase in the costs and expenditures with personnel, directly impacting our financial result.

 

10.3 - Events with significant effects, occurred and expected, on the financial statements

 

a.         Introduction or disposal of operating segment

 

There was no introduction or disposal of operating segment which caused significant effects on our financial statements in the last three years.

In the last three years we constituted wholly owned subsidiaries in relation to our acquisition of farms. According to our business strategy, we purchase our farms by means of wholly owned subsidiaries. Previously to the purchase of a farm we constitute subsidiaries whose corporate purpose is the purchase and sale of properties, land, buildings and properties in rural and or urban areas and the purchase of the farm is carried out by the subsidiary. The constitution of the subsidiary, to the extent that it is  consolidated in our financial statements, does not impact on our consolidated financial statements. Upon the purchase of the farm by our subsidiary we recognize the purchased farm in our inventories of rural properties, as well as, as the case may be, the disbursement of cash for the purchase and the liability for installments related to the financed purchase of farms.

 

The table below presents, for the last three years, the subsidiary which made the purchase, as well as reference to table 6.5 of the Reference Form in which detailed information on the purchase of farms is provided (for further information, see table 6.5 of the Reference Form):

The consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

10.5 – Critical accounting policies

 

The accounting estimates and judgments are continually assessed and are based on historical experience and other factors, among which expectations of future occurrences considered reasonable under current circumstances.

 

Based on assumptions, the Company makes estimates in relation to the future. By definition, the resulting accounting estimates are seldom equal to the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions presenting  a significant risk, with probability of a significant adjustment in the book values of assets and liabilities for the next year, are contemplated below.

 

a)    Residual value and useful life of property, plant and equipment

 

The amounts and useful life of assets are assessed by specialists and, if necessary, adjusted at the end of each year.

The book value of an asset is immediately written-off to its recoverable value if the book value is higher than its estimated recoverable value.

 

b)    Contingencies 

 

The Company is party in different judicial and administrative processes. Provisions are set up for all contingencies related to judicial processes representing probable losses (present obligation, resulting from past event in which an outflow of resources incorporating economic benefits to settle an obligation is probable, with reliable estimate of value). The assessment of loss includes the opinion of external legal advisors. Management believes that these contingencies are fairly presented in the financial statements.  

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

c)    Warrants 

 

The Company issued warrants to its founder shareholders in March 2006, before its initial public offering. In the prospect of the initial public offering, the Company disclosed that the issuance of warrants to its founder shareholders was a recognition for their work of founding the Company, for the entrepreneurship spirit, for having prepared the Company for the initial public offering and for having prepared the business plan, assuring their commitment with the Company’s development. The attribution of warrants to the founder shareholders was conducted on free basis.

 

The Company concluded that the warrants should be recorded in the scope of IFRS 2, as instrument of equity interest issued in Exchange for services rendered by others than its employees. Considering that all the warrants of first tranche could already be exercised before the transition date for IFRS (July 1, 2009) and that the Company had not disclosed the fair value of such warrants at the date of measurement the transition standards upon the initial application of IFRS result that the recognition and measurement standards of IFRS have not been applied for such warrants and the recording by the accounting standards former to the IFRS implementation were maintained . To the extent that according to the former accounting standards the warrants were not recorded, therefore they are not recorded in these financial statements.

 

To determine whether the warrants are in the scope of IFRS 2 or not, requires a judgment to assess the requirements set forth in the scope of this accounting standard.

 

d)    Biological assets

 

The fair value of the biological assets presented in balance sheet was determined using evaluation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. The data for these methods are based on those practiced by the market, whenever possible, and when it is not feasible, a certain level of judgment is required to establish the fair value. Judgment includes considerations on the data as, for example, price, productivity, cost of planting and cost of production. Changes in the assumptions on these factors might affect the fair value presented in biological assets.

 

e)    Investments properties

 

The fair value of investment properties disclosed in the explanatory notes to the financial statements was obtained by means of appraisal report of the farms prepared by internal expert.

 

The evaluation was carried out through standards practiced in the Market considering the characterization, location, type of soil, climate of the region, calculation of improvements, presentation of the elements and calculation of the land value, which may vary.

 

Methodology used

 

The assessment to fair value on June 30,2013 and June 30, 2012 was conducted by experienced professionals who are the Company’s employees and no assessment by independent third parties was obtained for this base date.

             

To estimate the Market value of the Company’s farms for each of the properties the following was taken into consideration: (i) its level of development, (ii) the quality and age of soil and (iii) the capacity and agricultural potential.

 


 

 

 

 

The first step for the assessment, accordingly, was to carry out a detailed analysis of each farm allocating each hectare in different categories taking into consideration the three items mentioned above. As s second step, an assessment of the market value for each one of these categories in soybean bags was made.  The reference for this assessment was offers received from farms and also prices disclosed in specialized reports of wide circulation. This methodology resulted in value of each farm in soybean bags (index).

 

The estimated value of each farm in terms of the index (soybean bags) are reference amounts for a forward sales. Accordingly, as final step, the current and future prices of soybean for each one of the farms were estimated and carried out the adjustment to present value so as to measure the value of the properties for a non financed sale. The final value of each farm was therefore defined by multiplying the farm value in soybean bags by the present value of the soybean price.

 

The determined fair value disclosed corresponds only to the bare land for a non financed sale not including buildings and improvements.

 

f)     Deferred income tax

 

The Company recognizes deferred assets and liabilities based on the differences between the book value presented in the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the effective rates. The Company reviews on a regular basis the deferred tax on assets in terms of recovery possibility, considering the historical profit generated and the future taxable income projected, in accordance with a technical feasibility study.

 

10.6 – Internal controls related to the preparation of the financial statements– Level of efficiency and deficiency and recommendations included in the auditor’s report

 

a.         Level of efficiency of such controls,  indicating possible flaws and measures adopted to correct them

 

The Company believes that the level of efficiency of the internal controls adopted for the preparation of our financial statements is sufficient to assure the fairly presentation of our financial and equity position as well as the results of our operations.

 

The Company decided to implement the integrated management system SAP on July 1, 2009, in order to guarantee the quality and efficiency standards of our operations and internal controls systems, as well as the continuous improvement for the preparation of the financial statements.

 

With the continuous growth of our operations, an internal audit team was created in 2009, whose main purpose is to assure the quality standards that we establish and thus contribute for the continuous improvement of the preparation of the financial statements

 

In addition, we adopted controls on the use of derivative instruments. The main controls established on the use of derivatives include

 

- existence of policies defined by our Board of Directors;

 

- restriction in contracting transactions with derivatives which is not approved by our Officers of strategic development;

 

 


 

 

 

- maintenance of a centralized inventory of outstanding derivative contracts of responsibility of our Executive Board of strategic development;

 

- daily reporting of a risk report with the consolidated position to a group comprised of our Executive Board and some members of our Board of Directors;

 

- monthly monitoring by the Executive Board of strategic development of the fair values reported by the counter parties and the values estimated by management; and

 

- the fair value of the contracted derivatives is obtained in accordance with the Market in which they were contracted and also in which the instruments are inserted.

 

b.         Deficiencies and recommendations on the internal controls included in the independent auditor’s report

 

There are no recommendations on internal controls included in the independent auditor’s report

 

10.7 – Allocation of resources from public offerings of distribution and possible deviations

Soybean

 

Soybean sales price may be determined by us, for the total or partial volume to be sold, up to the delivery. The price, when established, is determined according to a contractual formula based on the soybean quotation in CBOT. The price established in US dollars is settled at the end of the commitment period in reais considering foreign exchange rates contractually defined some days prior to the date of financial settlement.

 

The terms of our contracts subject us to the payment of fines in case of non delivery of the committed volumes.

 

On June 30, 2013, we had commitments for 1,134 bags of soybean.

 

Contracts for supply of sugarcane between BrasilAgro and ETH Bioenergia

 

On March 6, 2008, we entered into contracts for exclusive supply to ETH Bioenergia, forcing on its turn ETH Bioenergia, to acquire our total production of two complete cycles of crop of sugarcane, of six agricultural years with five cuts, with the possibility of extending this period for one more complete agricultural cycle, through agreement between the parties. The duration of each cycle may be extended also by mutual agreement between the parties.

Annex II 

 

 

Information required by Article 12 of the CVM Instruction 481/09.

 

13.1 – Description of the compensation policy or practice, including the non statutory board

 

a. objectives of the compensation policy or practice:

 

The policy of compensation practiced by our officers, including the members of the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Board and Statutory Directors aim to attract and retain distinguished professionals who can contribute to our sustainable growth. This policy is based on the best market practices according to periodical surveys, aligning our board and our stockholders interests.

 

The members of the Board of Directors and statutory Directors or not are eligible to a variable compensation which allows them the sharing of our risks and our results, due to a transparent policy that can achieve sustainable results.

 

The members of the Fiscal Board receive only fixed compensation, with no other bonus compensation.

 

b. composition of the compensation, indicating:

 

i. description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each one

 

a) Board of Directors and Fiscal Board

 

The members of the Board and of the Fiscal Board receive a fixed compensation, established in accordance with the market practices. The Fiscal Board is not entitled to the variable remuneration.

 

The objective of the remuneration given to the Board is to attract experienced professionals that can better guide the business of the Company, changing their collaborators efforts into profits to the stockholders.

 

b) Executive Board

 

The members of our Executive Board are entitled to a fixed and variable remuneration (bonus), which does not include share based compensation. However our Board participates in our stock Option Plan (“Stock Options”). The amounts paid as fixed compensation follow the market standard, making feasible the retention of distinguished professionals that add value to our results.

 

The objective of the short term variable compensation is to reward the executive based on the annual result, defined, by achieving fixed targets for the company and individual targets established for the same period. The long term variable compensation, based on stock options agreements, aim at rewarding the executive for the achieved result and its retention. The objective of the variable compensation is to align the executives’ interests with ours as well as with our stockholders.

 

ii. what is the proportion of each element in the total compensation 

 

The compensation of the Fiscal Board is fixed.

 

 


 

 

 

For the Board of Directors the fixed compensation corresponds to approximately 70% of the total compensation and the variable compensation corresponds to about 30%.

 

For the Board the fixed compensation corresponds to approximately 70% of the total compensation of the Executive Board and the variable compensation  corresponds to about 30%. This percentage does not include the portion related to the share based compensation, whose program was approved in a Board Director Meeting on August 11th, 2010.

 

These percentages may vary depending on the changes of the Company achieved results during this period, given the sharing component of risks and results exiting at the variable compensation.

 

iii. Calculation and adjustment methodology of each one of the compensation elements

 

The compensation paid to our officers annually compared to the one practiced in the market, through surveys carried out by specialized external consulting companies, so that its competitiveness can be assessed and eventually to evaluate the need of adjustment in some compensation components. Moreover, the Executive Board salaries are adjusted in accordance with the inflation rate (collective agreements) once a year.

 

iv. reasons to justify the compensation composition

 

We adopted for the Board a model of the compensation composition that concentrates a significant part of the total compensation in the variable components (short or long term) , which is part of our policy in sharing the risks and the results with our main Executives.

 

In order to maintain the competitiveness of the compensation offered to the Board of Directors and to the Fiscal Board, we follow the market values. Based on this parameter, our Counselors establish the value of profit sharing of the Company’s Executives and Employees. They also establish the distribution among the Officers, individually, of the global annual portion of the compensation of the officers established by the General Meeting. The reasons set to justify the variable compensation of the Executive Board  are not applicable to others Company’s administrative bodies.

 

c. Main performance indicators which are taken into consideration to determine each compensation element :

 

To determine all the items of the Executive Board compensation it is considerate the performance and individual goals. The variable compensation is directly linked to the indicators of our Strategic Plan, which is approved by the Board of Directors and comprises the  defined targets for the period, especially those related to the financial results as, for example, sales, profitability, among others.

 

d. how the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of the performance indicators

 

Our compensation policy is fixed or structured in order to reflect the performance evolution. The Fiscal Board compensation, as it is fixed, is not established by performance indicator, once these bodies compensation is fixed, based on the market values.

On the other hand, the officers are evaluated in a quantitative and qualitative basis, through the operational perspective and through the financial perspective. The evaluation is linked to the fulfillment of Individual Targets and to the achievement of the General Targets of the Company. We analyze and relate our performance to the performance of our Executive Board. Accordingly, we calculate the salary increases and the variations of the multiple salaries received as bonus to the performance shown in the evaluated period, according to each officer merit.

 


 

 

 

 

e. how the compensation policy or practice is aligned to the Company short, medium and long term interests:

 

The format of our compensation described above aims to encourage the collaborators to achieve the best profitability of the developed investments and projects, in order to align their interests with ours. In a short term perspective, we aim at obtaining such alignment through salaries and packages of benefits compatible with the market.

 

In medium term, we aim at obtaining such alignment through the bonus payment and the participation in the Company results to certain collaborators.

 

In long term, we aim at retaining qualified professionals through the granting of call options of their shares to the members of management.

 

Our policy of compensation aims at balancing the following Company interests:

 

·         Compatibility of our compensation costs with the market;

·         Strategic Alignment;

·         Creation of value; and

·         Talents attraction and retention.

 

For such, we consider that the collaborator maintains interest for a fair, transparent reward compatible with his performance.

 

f. existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, or direct or indirect controllers:

 

There is no compensation supported by subsidiaries or direct or indirect controllers of the Company.

 

g. existence of any compensation  or benefit in connection with the occurrence of a certain corporate event , such as the sale of the Company corporate control:

 

There is no compensation or benefit in connection with the occurrence of certain corporate event, such as the sale of the Company's corporate control.

13.4 –Share based compensation plan board of directors and  statutory board

 

a. Terms and general conditions

 

Our plan was instituted on 10/29/2008 for the benefit of selected professionals according to exclusive criteria of the Board of Directors among our officers and Executives and those of our Subsidiaries.

 

Our plan is implemented and managed by our Board of Directors, who can, at their discretion, and through deliberations, complement its terms and conditions, provided that the limits and restrictions established by the Law, in the Company’s Bylaws, in the applicable regulation, in the Plan and in the guidelines established by the stockholders of the Company in a General Meeting, are complied with.

  

The options granted for subscription or acquisition of the Participants’ shares is carried out by Granting Programs. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the Granting Programs.

 

The Board of Directors  is responsible for establishing for each one of the  Granting Programs, according to the general criteria established in the Plan, (i) the total number of our shares object of the options to be issued in the context of the Plan; (ii) the terms and/or events for the option for subscription or acquisition of shares becomes exercisable; (iii) the price for the exercise of the option and the price restatement index up to the date of the exercise of the option (automatically applicable in the shortest periodicity set forth in law). The Board of Directors may, at any time, change the restatement index; (iv) the payment conditions of the exercise price; (v) the maximum term for the option exercise or the criteria to determine it; (vi) any restrictions to the trading of the subscribed or acquired shares due to the option exercise; and (vii) possible penalties.

 

The options granting in the terms of our Plan is individually carried out to each Participant, after the signature of the Granting Contracts executed between us and the Participant, which should specify, with no prejudice to other conditions established by the Board of Directors , the number of shares object of the granting, the conditions for acquisition of right to exercise the option, the final term for the exercise of the stock option, the price of the option exercise and the payment conditions.

 

Both the Plan, and each one of its Granting Programs and, consequently, the granted options based on them and the subscription of new shares arising from options, as the case may be, shall be subject to the Brazilian Corporation Law and the applicable regulation. Each  Participant should be committed to, by the signature of the Granting Contract, be subject to CVM regulation, specifically  CVM Instruction 358 and our Policy of Trading  of Shares Issued, if any.

 

The granting of options in the Plan context was occurred in the Board of Directors Meeting, on August 11th 2010, which established the price of the granting exercise in the amount of R$ 8.97 per share.

 

The options can only be exercised from 2 (two) years after the granting date, i.e., on August 12th, 2012, being effective for 5 (five) years from the granting date.

 

The options granting in the context of the Plan of Second Granting occurred in the Board of Directors  Meeting held on July 03rd. 2012, that established the price of the granting exercise in the amount of R$ 8.25 per share.

 

The options can be exercised from July 03rd. 2012, being effective for 5 (five) years from the granting date.

 

 


 

 

 

The options granting in the context of the Plan of Third Granting occurred in the Board of Directors  Meeting held on September 04th, 2012, that established the price of the granting exercise in the amount of  R$ 8.52 per share.

 

The options can only be exercised from 2 (two) years after the granting date, i.e., on September 04th 2014, being effective for 5 (five) years from the granting date.

 

b. Objective of the Plan

 

The stock option plan has the purpose to allow our officers and executives to acquire our shares, in order to foster the expansion, the success and consecution of our objectives, to align our stockholders’ interests to the ones of the Officers and Executives, and to encourage the Officers and Executives to substantially contribute for our success.

 

c. How the plan contributes for these objectives

 

The Stock Option Plan is structured in order to encourage our Officers and Executives that participate in the Plan to contribute for our success, since such Officers and Executives are directly benefited  by the valuations in the price of the shares issued by the Company after the options granting. Accordingly, the alignment of interests of our stockholders with our Officers and Executives is a way to reach the main objective of the Plan, that is, our growth, success and consecution of our objectives.

 

d. How the plan is inserted in the issuer’s compensation policy

 

The option plan is inserted in our compensation policy that aims at, in addition to the fair and reflected reward of the performance, the leverage of results for the company as well as the reward to our Executives.

 

The options granting to our Officers and Executives in the scope of the Plan, as well as the exercise of these options by the beneficiaries, are not related or linked to the fixed, variable compensation or profit sharing due to the Officers and Executives who participate in the Plan.

 

e. How the plan aligns the executives and the issuer’s interests in the short, medium and long term

 

Upon establishing the Granting Plan, we aim to strengthen the commitment of our Officers and Executives for the fulfillment of annual targets and results to be attained, resulting in a short time alignment of interests.

 

Effectively, before the convergence of interests existing in the Plan, our Executives are motivated to achieve the expected results also in the medium term, since this kind of bonus, where the Executives receive exercise option for the purchase of our shares, make the Executives aim at improving the results and valuation of our assets, with the consequent valuation of the shares price, thus maximizing their own gains.

 

Finally, there is a long term alignment of interest, since the vesting period ( two years) and the potential of valuation of shares object of the options also encourage the Officers to generate better long term  results, as well as to remain in the Company, that is, the Plan also help us to retain our main Executives for a longer period, which is essential to our management and long term strategies.

 

 


 

 

 

f. Maximum number of comprised shares

 

The shares options that may be granted after the investiture period according to the plan may grant rights on a number of actions not exceeding, at any time, the maximum and cumulative  amount of  2% (two per cent) of our shares at any time, which currently corresponds to 1,168,448 shares, including all the already granted options under the terms of the Plan, exercised or not, except for those that have been extinguished and not exercised, provided that the total number of shares issued  or that can be issued in the terms of the Plan are always within our authorized capital limit. In order to satisfy the exercise of the granted options in the terms of the Plan, we may, at the Board of Directors discretion, (i) issue new actions within our authorized capital limit, or (ii) sell our shares held in treasury.

 

g. Maximum number of options to be granted

 

As exposed in the above item, the stock options  granted by us in accordance with the Plan cannot grant rights on a number of shares exceeding,  at any time, the maximum and cumulative amount of 2% (two per cent) of our shares. Accordingly, the maximum number of options to be granted in the scope of the Plan may vary depending on the number of shares object of each option, as defined by the Board of Directors in the programs of share options granting.

 

h. Conditions for the acquisition of shares

 

The Participant of the Plan wishing to exercise his stock options should communicate, in writing, his intention and indicate the amount of shares that wishes to acquire, in accordance with the terms of the communication model to be disclosed by the Board of Directors. We will inform the participant the price of exercise to be paid, based on the number of shares informed by the participant, and our Management is entitled to take necessary measures to formalize the acquisition of the shares object of the exercise.

 

i. Criteria to establish the price of acquisition or exercise

 

The Board of Directors is entitled to establish the options exercise price, case by case, subject to the minimum price, in the term of the Plan, corresponding to the average quotation of our shares in the trading of BM&FBOVESPA, weighted by the trading volume during the last 30 (thirty) trading floors prior to the option granting.

 

j. Criteria to establish the exercise term

 

The Board of Directors  is entitled to establish the term for the exercise of the options, determining the investiture date and the period of exercise of the granted options.

 

Our effective Granting Program establishes that each option granted to the Participant will prevail during 3 (three) years from the date  in which the investiture period starts (“vesting”), thus defined the period in which the options granted to the Participants become available for exercise.

 

The date established by the Board of Directors as the opening date of the vesting period corresponds to August 12th 2012. Accordingly, the options granted to the Participants become available for exercise, in its totality, from the date defined for the opening of the vesting until the end of the term of 3 (three) years. Our effective  Granting Program provides that each option granted to the Participant shall be in effect for 3 (three) years from the related investiture date, established by the Board of Directors as being on August 12th 2012. The options granted to the Participants become available for exercise, in its totality, on the date of investiture until the end of the term of 3 (three) years.

 


 

 

 

 

 

k. Settlement form

 

The price of the exercise of the option shall be paid in accordance with the forms and terms established by the Board of Directors. While the price of the exercise is not fully paid, the shares acquired with the exercise of the option according to the terms of the Plan cannot be sold to third parties, except upon prior authorization of the Board of Directors, in this case the product of the sale will be addressed for the payment of the Participant debt with the Company.

 

The Participant shall pay us in cash, within 15 (fifteen) business days after the register of the shares in the Participant’s name in books of the financial institution subscriber of our shares, in the case of purchase and sale of our shares held in treasury; or (b) upon subscription of new shares by the Participant upon the subscription of new shares within the limit of the authorized capital, in which we may, at our discretion, lend the amount of the exercise price to the Participant, who shall, in this case, pay the principal value of this loan plus interest of  100% of CDI calculated between the date of disbursement and the date of the payment, within 15 (fifteen) business days from the loan disbursement

 

i. Restrictions to the transference of shares

 

There are no restrictions to the transference of our shares acquired by the Participants through options granted due to the effective Granting Program. However, the Board of Directors may, at its own discretion, impose preceding terms and/or conditions for the exercise of the stock option, and impose restrictions to the transference of the acquired shares with the options exercise, and may grant us repurchase options or preemptive rights in case of disposal by the Participant of these same shares, until the end of the term and/or the fulfillment of the determined conditions.

 

m. Criteria and events that, when checked, will cause the suspension, alteration or extinction of the plan

 

Alteration and Suspension of the Plan. The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, by deliberations, change the terms and conditions of the Plan. It may also, whenever situations occur, in which, under the terms of the Law or regulations in force,  it is restricted or prevented  the trading of shares by the Participants, suspend the right to the exercise of the options by the Participants.

 

Extinction of the Plan. The Plan can be extinguished by our Stockholders or by the Board of Directors deliberation, however such extinction will not affect the effectiveness of the options still into force, previously granted, nor the prevalence of the  restrictions to the trading of the shares and/or to the preemptive right set by the Plan.

 

The Plan and the options granted based on it will be automatically extinguished in case of cancellation of the register of publicly held company, termination of trading of our shares in the over the counter market , organized market or stock market, dissolution or liquidation  of the Company.

 

Also, the options granted in the terms of the Plan will extinguish automatically, finishing all its effects of full right, in the following cases:

 

(i) by means of its full exercise;

(ii) after the expiration of the  effective term of the option;  

(iii) in case of dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy; or

(iv) in case of decease or retirement of the Participant.

 


 

 

 

 

n. Effects from the exit of the manager of the issuer’s body on the rights foreseen in the share based compensation plan

 

As set forth in the Plan, in the event of Dismissal of the Participant, by his initiative or by our initiative or from one of our Subsidiaries, for any reason, except for just cause, all the options granted and which are not yet exercisable, will be automatically extinguished, regardless of previous notice or indemnity. Notwithstanding, the Participant will be entitled to exercise the options already exercisable at the date of the Dismissal in the term determined by the Board of Directors, through the delivery of communication in writing.

 

In the event of dismissal of the Participant occurring for just cause, all the options granted to Participant will be automatically extinguished, regardless of previous notice or indemnity, either if exercisable or not at the date of the dismissal.

 

The dismissal does not comprise the following hypothesis: (i) change in our legal relationship with the Participant, provided that, after the mentioned change, the Participant is still considered Manager or Executive, as defined in item 3 of this Plan, (ii) decease or permanent disability, and (iii) retirement. Dismissal comprises the hypothesis of removal, replacement or non reelection as manager and termination of labor or services rendering contract.

 

* Decease or Permanent disability. In the event of decease or permanent disability of the Participant, the Board of Directors will decide whether the grace period of the options not yet exercisable will become immediately exercisable. The options which are already exercisable at the date of decease or permanent disability of the Participant may be exercised  by the heirs or successors of the Participant, by legal succession or by will testamentary disposition either by the executor of the estate, in the event of decease of the Participant, or by the Participant himself, in the event of permanent disability, in the term determined by the Board of Directors, through delivery of communication in writing.

 

* Retirement. In the case of the Participant’s retirement, the Board of Directors will decide if  the grace period of the options not yet exercisable will become immediately exercisable. The options already exercisable at the Participant’s retirement date may be exercised in the term determined by the Board of Directors, through the delivery of communication in writing.
