Special Note Regarding Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The following discussion of our results of operations is based on our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the three years ended December 31, 2021. For a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—A. Operating Results—Results of Operations— Year ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019” of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

A non-IFRS financial measure is any financial measure that is presented other than in accordance with all relevant accounting standards under IFRS. We disclose EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for Suzano in this annual report, which are considered to be non-IFRS financial measures. EBITDA is calculated as Net income (loss) plus Net financial result, Income and social contribution taxes, and Depreciation, amortization and depletion. Adjusted EBITDA for Suzano is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted to add or exclude: (i) exceptional adjustments as defined by management are those with no impact on our ongoing business, such as Expenses with Fibria’s Transaction, Contract renegotiation, Losango Project Adjustments, COVID-19 - Social actions and operating expenses, ITBI Provision and fees, Write-off of civil lawsuits, Result from sale of property, plant and equipment and biological assets, Shut down - 5.1 Project Mucuri facility, Tax credits - gains in tax lawsuit (ICMS from the PIS/COFINS calculation basis) and Agreement White Martins and (ii) non-cash adjustments are those adjustments that have impacted the income statements without a cash impact on Suzano, such as Accrual (reversal) of losses on ICMS credits, Write-off of contractual advance, Impairment of non-financial assets, Accruals for losses on PIS and COFINS credits, Fair value adjustment of biological assets, Result from sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment and biological assets, Income from associates and joint ventures– Ibema, Ensyn and Spinnova and Income from associates and joint ventures – Write-off of other comprehensive income from Suzano Trading.

The non-IFRS financial measures described in this annual report are not a substitute for the IFRS measures of net income or other performance measures.

Our management believes that disclosure of our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of our operating performance and their comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries. For example, interest expense is dependent on the capital structure and credit rating of a company. However, debt levels, credit ratings and, therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings vary significantly between companies. Similarly, the tax positions of individual companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and the differing jurisdictions in which they transact business. Finally, companies differ in the age and method of acquisition of productive assets, and thus the relative costs of those assets, as well as in the depreciation method (straight-line, accelerated or units of production), which can result in considerable variation in depreciation and amortization expenses between companies. Therefore, for comparison purposes, our management believes that our EBITIDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of operating profitability because they exclude these elements of earnings that do not provide information about the current operations of existing assets.

Moreover, other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Each of these non-IFRS financial measures are important measures to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that the disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors and financial analysts in their review of our operating performance and in the comparison of such operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry or in other industries that have different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. The presentation of non-IFRS financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

C.Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds

D.Risk Factors

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties resulting from changing competitive, economic, political, environmental and social conditions that could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition. The risks described below, although not being the only ones we face are the most important ones according to our ability to identify material risks. Other risks that we presently believe are not material could also adversely affect us.

Risks Relating to the Pulp and Paper Industry

Our products’ prices are greatly affected by international market prices, which vary depending on a number of factors that are beyond our control and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions and our ability to operate our plants in an economically viable manner.

Pulp markets are typically cyclical, and our pulp prices follow international market prices, which are determined by supply and demand, global pulp production capacity and global economic conditions. Such prices can also be affected by exchange rate fluctuations between the currencies of main producing and consuming countries, movement of inventories, diverging price expectations, business strategies adopted by other producers and availability of substitutes for our products, among others. All of these factors are beyond our control and may have a significant impact on the prices for pulp and, consequently, on our operational margins, profitability and ROIC. Fluctuations in pulp price may lead us to adopt changes in our commercial strategy or production, which also may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

Paper prices are also determined by supply and demand conditions in the markets in which they are sold, and are affected by various factors, including the fluctuation in pulp prices and the specific characteristics of the markets in which we operate.

We cannot assure that pulp and paper market prices and demand for our products will remain favorable to us, and any adverse price or demand fluctuations, which may occur rapidly in our markets, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions and our ability to operate our plants in an economically viable manner.

We are highly dependent on our planted forest areas for the supply of wood, which is essential to our production processes, and any damage to our forest areas or impact on prices of land we seek to purchase for our forests may adversely affect us.

Most of the wood used in our production processes is supplied by our own forestry operations, which include planted forest areas located in close proximity to our production facilities. The wood market in Brazil is very regional and limited in wood availability, as most pulp and paper producers are integrated and utilize wood grown in their own planted forests to meet their wood requirements.

8

Our planted forests are subject to natural threats, such as drought, fire, pests and diseases, which may reduce our supply of wood or increase the price of wood we acquire. Our planted areas are also subject to other threats, considering their wide territorial coverage and proximity to a significant number of neighbors and local communities, including loss of possession due to social unrest or squatter invasion, land title disputes, wood theft, or arson, which may result in real damage to our planting and transit areas and may adversely affect our results.

In addition, the physical effects of climate change may materially and adversely affect our operations, for example by changing air temperature and water levels, and subjecting us to unusual or different weather-related risks. Any climate changes that negatively affect the favorable climate conditions in Brazil may adversely affect the growth rate and quality of our plantations, or our production costs. Although we cannot predict the impact of changing global climate conditions, any such occurrences may increase our liabilities and capital expenditures and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, in acquiring land for our timber plantations, we compete with other crops, as well as with cattle breeders, which could ultimately raise land prices or make it more difficult for us to contract independent third parties to cultivate eucalyptus.

Drought in some regions of Brazil, resulting in water scarcity and related rationing, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In Brazil, some regions might have drought conditions during some seasons of the year, which could result in acute shortages of water and/or implementation of rationing to restrict usage. Some of our units are located in the affected areas and we cannot assure that our processes for efficient use of water and contingency plans will be able to avoid impacts from severe droughts or governmental measures to address drought conditions on our units’ operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We face significant operational risks that can result in the shutdown of our operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We face operational risks that may result in partial or temporary suspension of our operations and in loss of production. Such outages may be caused by factors associated with equipment failure, information system disruptions or failures (including due to cyber-attacks), accidents, fires, strikes, invasions, acts of war, armed conflicts, weather, exposure to natural disasters, regional water crisis, electricity power outages and chemical product spills, accidents involving water reservoirs, landfills, revocation of licenses, labor restrictions by pandemics, among other operational and environmental hazards. The occurrence of these events may, among other impacts, result in serious damage to our property, assets and reputation, liability for damages to the environment and third parties, a decrease in production or an increase in production costs, any of which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Increasing geopolitical tensions and hostilities in connection with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the trade and monetary sanctions that have been imposed in connection with those developments, have affected, and could significantly affect, worldwide markets, cause turmoil in the global financial system and negatively impact our operations.

Certain of our assets, notably biological assets measured at fair value, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, may be impacted by climate events. Effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, scarcity of water resources, fires and impacts arising from the greater presence and resistance of pests and other forest diseases favored by the gradual increase in temperature, as well as other adverse weather events, may impact the determination of fair value of biological assets, cause the loss of biological assets, reduce productivity or event result in interruptions of our production. In addition, regulatory and legal changes related to a transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity might impose additional costs and create greater risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions to our business.

During the normal course of our business, we depend on the continuous availability of logistics and transportation networks, including roads, railways, warehouses and ports, among others. Such operations may be disrupted by factors beyond our control, such as social movements, geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, electricity shortages strikes and shutdowns (such as, for instance, trucker strikes). Any interruption in the supply of inputs for the operation of our industrial and forestry units or in the delivery of our finished products to clients could cause a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

9

We have entered into contracts with third parties to provide transportation and logistics services. The early termination of these contracts or our inability to renew them or negotiate new contracts with other service providers with similar conditions could adversely affect our financial and operating condition. In addition, most of our suppliers of transportation operate under concessions granted by the Brazilian government. The loss or non- renewal of such concessions without timely replacement for new concessions to third parties that can continue the services provided and willing to do so on similar terms as the previous service providers may also adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, we are subject to quality control risks associated with our products, which may affect our consumer market and customers. In this sense, we note that our products have several properties that influence the processes of our customers, as well as the quality of the products they produce. Accordingly, we are also subject to any potential claims relating to the quality of our products, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on third-party suppliers for a material portion of our wood requirements and also depend on few suppliers for certain raw materials. Significant reductions in supply or increases in price of these materials could adversely affect our production, products’ mix, margin or availability and, consequently, our results of operations.

Our wood resources are not sufficient to satisfy our production needs, and accordingly we seek additional wood supply from third parties through agreements to purchase standing forests or for purchases of wood delivered to our factories. Medium- and long-term supply agreements with wood suppliers may vary between one to three forest cycles, each cycle lasting approximately seven years. Lease agreements or forest partnerships have an average term of 14 to 15 years. Wood price conditions are subject to cyclical and circumstantial variations of wood demand in the different regions where we operate. A material failure to obtain wood from third party suppliers or a material interruption in our current supply arrangements may result in a significant reduction in available wood for processing at our plants, which may adversely affect our production and, accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we have few sources for certain raw materials that are essential for the production of pulp and paper, including fuel oil, bleached chemo thermo mechanical pulp, natural gas and third-party industry technology (maintenance). We enter into medium and long term supply agreements with such suppliers. Any significant reduction in the supply or increase in prices, on behalf of the relevant supplier, of any of these raw materials, as well as our inability to maintain the relationship or find suitable substitutes for these suppliers, could adversely affect our products’ mix, margin or availability and, consequently, our results of operations.

Investments by us or our competitors to enhance pulp and paper production capacity in the future may adversely affect the market price for our products.

New capacity projects developed by us or our competitors may create an imbalance between supply and demand of pulp and paper, which may cause a reduction in pulp and paper prices. Investments in new capacity may have a negative impact on pulp and paper prices and, consequently, on our financial condition or results of operations.

We face significant competition in some of our lines of business, which may adversely affect our market share in the pulp and paper industries and our profitability.

The pulp and paper markets are extremely competitive. We face substantial competition in both domestic and international markets from a large number of companies, some of which have extensive access to financial resources and low capital costs. In the domestic market, we face competition from national products, produced by companies of Brazilian and international groups, and imported products. In the international market, we compete against companies with large production and distribution capacities, significant consumer base and great variety of products.

In addition, the oversupply of coated paper in the world market, the antidumping measures adopted in other countries and the use of imported coated paper for alternative purposes, especially during periods of prolonged appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar, may increase competition in Brazil from producers of imported paper. Moreover, if the Brazilian federal government were to decrease import taxes, or in the event of sustained appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar, competition in Brazil from international producers may increase. The occurrence or continuation of any of the foregoing events could adversely affect us.

10

Additionally, the pulp and paper markets are served by numerous companies located in different countries. If we are unable to remain competitive against these producers in the future, our market share may be adversely affected. Other companies operating in the same segments may compete with us for acquisition and alliance opportunities. Strategic acquisitions or alliances by our competitors could affect our ability to enter into or consummate acquisitions and alliances that are necessary to expand our business. Further, we may face elevated costs associated with restructuring and/or financing in relation to acquisitions or strategic partnerships in comparison to our competitor companies. Companies that are better positioned to enter into acquisitions or alliances may benefit from preferable production costs, which may affect our competitiveness and market share.

Other factors affecting our ability to compete include the entry of new competitors into the markets we serve, increased competition from overseas producers, our competitors’ pricing strategies, the introduction by our competitors of new technologies and equipment, our ability to anticipate and respond to changing customer preferences and our ability to maintain the cost-efficiency of our facilities. In addition, changes within these industries, including the consolidation of our competitors and our customers, may impact competitive dynamics.

Liquidity restriction periods may increase our financial costs, limit the terms or even preclude the funding in the market, which may adversely affect our operations.

Brazilian paper and pulp companies have made significant investments during the last few years in order to compete more efficiently and on a larger scale in the international market. This trend towards consolidation has enhanced the need for resources and diversification of financing sources among national and foreign financial institutions.

In this context, we depend on third-party capital to conduct our business, by means of financing transactions to support our investments and working capital. We cannot assure that our current sources of funds will be sufficient or that they will remain available to meet our capital needs, which may require us to seek additional funds in the financial and capital markets. In liquidity restriction periods, such as the ones of 2008 and 2009 that occurred due to the international financial crisis, credit lines may become excessively short, expensive or even unavailable. Under these circumstances, there is a higher risk of not achieving success in financing and refinancing transactions, meaning that there is a higher possibility of failure in obtaining financing in the market in order to pay down existing indebtedness, as well as a higher risk of raising these funds at an elevated cost or subject to posting collateral, which may adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

More stringent environmental regulations could increase our expenditures and noncompliance with such regulation may result in administrative, civil and criminal liability, which may adversely affect us, our results of operations or financial condition.

Our activities are subject to extensive environmental regulation, including in relation to gas emissions, liquid effluents and solid waste management, reforestation and odor control, as well as maintenance of land reserve and permanent preservation areas. Furthermore, our activities, both industrial and forestry, require periodic renewal of environmental permits.

Environmental standards that are applicable to us are issued at the federal, state and municipal levels, and changes in the laws, rules, policies or procedures adopted in the enforcement of the current laws may adversely affect us. In Brazil, violations of environmental laws, regulations and authorizations could result in administrative, civil or criminal penalties for us, our management and our employees, including fines, imprisonment, interruption of our activities and dissolution of our corporate entity.

Governmental agencies or other competent authorities may provide new rules or additional regulations even stricter than the ones in force, or they may pursue a stricter interpretation of the existing laws and regulations, which could require us to invest additional resources in environmental compliance or to restrict our ability to operate as currently done. Additionally, noncompliance with or a violation of any such laws and regulations could result in the revocation of our licenses and suspension of our activities or in our liability for environmental remediation costs, which could be substantial. Moreover, failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations could restrict our ability to obtain financing from financial institutions.

11

In December 2015, several countries (including Brazil) signed the Paris Agreement, a new global environmental agreement adopting the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, or “INDCs”, as the measures taken to reduce its emissions after 2020. The INDC that applies to Brazil provides for an increase in the share of sustainable biofuels and other sources of renewable energy in the Brazilian national energy mix, as well as zero deforestation, reforestation, forest restoration and enhancement of the native forest management. We may be materially affected by more restrictive environmental laws and regulations related to greenhouse gases and climate change, to the extent that such new laws or regulations may cause an increase in capital expenditures and investments to comply with such laws, and indirectly, by changes in prices for transportation, energy and other inputs. Both the regulations related to climate change and the changes in existing regulations, as well as the physical effects of climate change generally, could result in increased liabilities and capital expenditures, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Failure to obtain, timely renew or maintain permits, licenses and concessions, grants and registrations necessary to develop our activities, as well as any cancellation thereof, could adversely affect our operations.

Our operations depend on the issuance of permits, licenses, concessions, grants and registrations from various federal, state and municipal agencies. In addition, obtaining licenses for certain activities in which significant environmental impacts are expected requires investments in conservation and/or recovery to compensate such impacts. We have permits, licenses, concessions, grants and registrations necessary to operate our factories, which usually have predetermined validity. In other to renew them, we have to periodically report our compliance with standards of emission of greenhouse gases established by governmental agencies. The expansion of our operations and/or changes to the regulation in force may cause us to request for new permits, licenses, concessions, grants and registrations with the governmental authorities and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain, or obtain them in a timely manner. Failure to obtain such permits, licenses, concessions, grants and registrations, or to obtain them in a timely manner, may delay the implementation of new activities, increased costs, financial fines or sentences for payment of compensation. In case we are fined and/or penalized for not obtaining, timely renewal or canceling our authorizations, licenses, grants and registrations, as well as for non-compliance with environmental legislation, our financial and operational results and our image may be adversely affected. In addition, non-compliance with applicable environmental legislation may result in partial or total shutdowns of our operational activities, which may also adversely affect our financial position and image.

Global or regional economic conditions and events may adversely affect the demand for and the price of our products.

Demand for pulp and paper is directly related to the growth of the world economy and economic conditions. Currently, Europe, China and North America are the main consumer markets of the industry. Fluctuations in the value of local currency versus the U.S. dollar, downturns in economic activity, nationalization or any change in social, political or labor conditions in any of these countries or regions impacting matters such as sustainability, environmental regulations and trade policies and agreements, could negatively affect our financial results. Any slowing of economic growth in Europe, China and North America could adversely affect the price and volume of our exports and thus impact our operating performance.

According to market statistics (PPPC), Chinese demand represented 36% of the global market pulp demand in 2021 (versus 39% in 2020 and 37% in 2019), and this demand has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 8.5% since 2006, above the global average of 1.9%. The recent investments in paper and board machines in China have been boosting pulp demand in China; however, the volatility of Chinese demand due to speculative buying movement is a key risk for any short-term demand forecast. Such behavior was experienced during the year of 2019 when, according to the PPPC’s Chinese Demand report, demand for hardwood in China fell by 3.5% in the first 6 months of 2019 vs. the same period of the previous year. %. In 2021, the speculative buying movement was not largely noticed with similar demand growth throughout the year.

12

The outbreak of communicable diseases worldwide, such as SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19 pandemic), may lead to increased volatility in the global capital markets, impacting the trading market for the securities issued by us.

Outbreaks or potential outbreaks of diseases may have an adverse effect on global capital markets (including the capital markets in which our securities are traded), on the global economy (including the Brazilian economy) and on the price of our shares. Historically, pandemics, as well as regional or global epidemics and outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have affected sectors of the economy in countries where these diseases have spread, adversely impacting global commercial activity and contributing to significant volatility in the market. In light of our activities in the foreign market, such events or potential reactions and mandates from government authorities could cause disruption of regional and global supply chains and economic activity, including significant volatility in demand, which could adversely affect our operations and financial results. Prolonged closures, stoppages and shutdowns, if continuing, may disrupt our operations and the operations of our suppliers, service providers and customers and could materially, adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows.

Further, additional waves of outbreaks — including new variants that are more or less aggressive and/or contagious — may occur, and the intensity of the economic slowdown resulting from actions taken or to be taken by government authorities in response to the pandemic are unpredictable, especially considering that both the severity of the disease and the action plan of local authorities will depend on various unknown factors.

Our exports are subject to special risks that may adversely affect our business.

We export to different regions of the world, which makes us subject to special political and regulatory risks, including currency controls in countries where we have payments receivable, possible formal or informal trade barriers and incentive policies and subsidies favoring local producers in many regions.

Thus, our future financial performance will depend on the economic, political, environmental and social conditions of our main export markets (Europe, Asia and North America). As a result, factors that are beyond our control include:

● imposition of barriers to trade by certain countries to limit the access of Brazilian companies to their markets or even to subsidize local producers, particularly with respect to paper products, or the granting of commercial incentives in favor of local producers;

● changes in economic policies and/or conditions of the countries to which we export, which may affect our export capacity and, consequently, our business and operating results;

● logistics costs, including disruptions in shipping or reduced availability of freight transportation;

● significant fluctuations in global demand for pulp products, which could impact our sales, operating income and cash flows;

● the deterioration of global economic conditions, which could impair the financial condition of some of our customers or foreign suppliers, thereby increasing bad debts or non-performance by our foreign suppliers, as well as increasing our costs for financing and refinancing;

● changes in revenues due to variations in foreign currency exchange rates;

● controls on currency exchange; and

● adverse consequences deriving from the need to comply with more stringent regulatory requirements in foreign countries, including environmental rules, regulations and certification requirements.

Risks Relating to Our Company

Any failure to meet key stakeholders expectations regarding environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) matters may damage our reputation, raise our costs, decrease our revenues, or expose us to additional risks.

There is an increasing focus from customers, investors and other key stakeholders concerning ESG matters, as public interest and legislative pressure related to companies’ ESG practices continue to grow. Regardless of the industry, investors’ increased focus and activism related to ESG and similar matters may hinder access to capital, as investors may decide to reallocate capital or to not commit capital as a result of their assessment of a company’s ESG practices. In addition, certain institutional investors rely on third-party providers proxy vote recommendation, benchmark proxy voting guidelines and analyses of ESG attributes. If we fail to align our Annual Shareholders’ Meeting proposals with such recommendations or guidelines, certain shareholders may vote against them, which may adversely affect us. Companies that do not adapt to or comply with investors, consumers or other stakeholders expectations and standards, which are evolving, or that are perceived to have not responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of a legal requirement to do so, may suffer from reputational damage and the business, financial condition, and/or securities prices of such a company could be materially and adversely affected. If our ESG practices and policies fail to meet evolving expectations, standards and frameworks, our reputation, financial condition and employee retention may be negatively impacted.

We pursue certain transactions from time to time and we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of such transactions or manage potential risks related to such transactions, which may adversely affect our business and growth prospects, as well as our results of operations and financial condition and the trading price for our securities.

In the course of our business, we analyze, pursue and carry out acquisitions, strategic alliances and divestitures, and, as part of our business strategy, we may acquire other assets or businesses or enter into further strategic partnerships in Brazil or other countries.

Disagreements with our joint operation partners, unexpected events or changes in market conditions, as well as the failure to successfully integrate new businesses or manage strategic alliances, could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition or prevent us from realizing expected gains of these acquisitions or alliances. For example, we (as successor to Fibria) hold a 50% interest in Veracel, a joint operation with Stora Enso for the production of pulp, and a 51% interest in Portocel, our subsidiary (former subsidiary of Fibria) in which Celulose Nipo-Brasileira S.A. - CENIBRA holds the remaining 49% interest stake. In May 2014, Fibria (Stora Enso’s former partner in the joint operation) commenced an arbitration against Stora Enso for alleged breach of its obligations under certain provisions of the joint operation shareholders’ agreement. For further information on the arbitral proceeding, see Item 8. “Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Civil Proceedings.”

If we attempt to engage in future acquisitions, we would be subject to additional risks, including that we could fail to select the best partners or fail to effectively plan and manage any strategic alliance. Moreover, any significant acquisition may be subject to regulatory approval in Brazil and abroad and, as a result, may not be consummated, which may have an adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.

The expected synergies from operating as a combined company with other companies that merge into and with us may not be achieved.

We cannot provide any assurance as to the extent to which the synergies anticipated or expected from eventual future mergers, or as to the timing for their realization, or as to the expenses that will be incurred in connection with realizing synergic benefits. In particular, we may not be able to realize anticipated cost savings from combination of companies’ production facilities, or anticipated synergic benefits from joint acquisitions of raw materials, sharing of improved production techniques and integration of administrative departments.

If we are not able to achieve the synergies from eventual future mergers, our results of operations and financial condition and the trading price for our securities may be adversely affected. Even if we achieve the expected synergies eventual future mergers, we may not be able fully realize them within the anticipated timeframe.

14

We recorded a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets with determined useful life as a result of the Merger, which may be subject to impairment charges under certain circumstances in future periods in accordance with applicable accounting regulations and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations or the trading price of our securities.

As of December 31, 2021, the value of our goodwill and other intangible assets with determined useful life relating to the Merger with Fibria were R$7,897.1 million and R$7,455.2 million, respectively. For further information, see notes 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements. Under IFRS, goodwill and intangible assets with undetermined useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually to identify possible need for impairment, or more often if any event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Other intangible assets that have determined useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication of impairment. In addition, under IFRS we are required to perform an impairment analysis of assets with undetermined useful life when the book value of our net assets exceeds our market capitalization. As a result, we may be required to record an impairment charge for goodwill or other intangible assets in future periods if required under IFRS, which could lead to decreased assets and reduced net income. If a significant write down were required, the charge could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations or the trading price of our securities.

The level of our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and a material portion of our cash flow may need to be used to service our debt obligations, which could impair our ability to operate our business.

As of December 31, 2021, we had R$79.6 billion of total consolidated outstanding indebtedness (which includes current and non-current loans, financing and debentures). We are subject to the risks normally associated with significant amounts of debt, which could have important consequences to investors. Our indebtedness could, among other things: (i) require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay our obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, operations, capital expenditures, dividend payments, strategic acquisitions, expansion of our operations and other business activities; (ii) increase our vulnerability to a downturn in general economic and industry conditions, and may make us unable to carry out capital spending that is important to our growth; (iii) limit, along with financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt instruments, our ability to incur additional debt or equity financing or dispose of assets; and (iv) decrease our ability to deleverage and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.

A significant or prolonged downturn in general business and economic conditions, or other significant adverse developments with respect to our results of operations or financial condition, may affect our ability to comply with these covenants or meet those financial ratios and tests and could require us to take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our current business objectives. Moreover, the restrictions associated with these covenants and financial ratios may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interest of our business and may make it difficult for us to execute our business strategy successfully or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. Additionally, despite these restrictions, we may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility and otherwise increase the risks associated with our indebtedness as noted above. We may also need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity, and we may not be able to do this on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Additionally, a default under our financial agreements that is not waived by the relevant creditors may result in an acceleration of the maturity of the outstanding balance of such debt, debt and may also accelerate the maturity of other debt that benefits from cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. For more information, see Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects —Indebtedness.” If such events were to occur, our financial condition and share price could be adversely affected.

15

We operate under certain tax regimes in Brazil and abroad that may be suspended, cancelled or not renewed, any of which may adversely affect our financial condition and free cash flow generation.

We receive certain tax benefits by virtue of our investment projects in underdeveloped regions in Brazil SUDAM/SUDENE, which are covered by the the RFB. We also benefit from tax incentives granted by states based on state laws. The program PROMARANHAO in the state of Maranhão and the program Desenvolve in the state of Bahia, published through Ordinance-GABIN nº 435/18 and Decree No. 18.270/18, respectively, are the most relevant ones for our operations. We cannot assure you that the tax incentives we currently benefit from will be maintained or renewed, particularly, but not exclusively, in light of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions that may lead to changes in current material incentives, such as the Regime Especial de Aquisição de Bens de Capital para Empresas Exportadoras, which is a special regime for the acquisition of capital goods by exporting companies, and Preponderante Exportador, among others. If such tax benefits are not effectively renewed, this could have a material adverse effect on our generation of net cash flow. In the event of constitutional challenges or if we fail to comply with specific obligations to which we are subject in connection with the tax benefits described above, such benefits may be suspended or cancelled, and we may be required to pay the taxes due in the last five years in full, plus penalties and interest, which may adversely affect us.

Our exports and international trading activities are also conducted under certain tax regimes, including rulings and incentives in some foreign countries, including Austria. These the tax rulings or benefits expire and have to be renewed from time to time. We cannot assure you that the tax regimes and incentives from which we currently benefit will be renewed or maintained in the future. In addition, we also benefit from provisions of international treaties entered into by the Brazilian federal government in order to avoid double taxation, such as the non-double taxation treaty between Brazil and Austria, pursuant to which profit earned by our wholly-owned subsidiary in Austria is not subject to double-taxation in Brazil. Although we believe in the validity of the provisions of international treaties, we have obtained a preliminary injunction to guarantee the enforceability of the Brazilian-Austria treaty. If the Brazil-Austria treaty is deemed unenforceable, we may be materially adversely affected.

Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as our inability to manage risks associated with the replacement of benchmark indices, could increase the cost of servicing our debt and negatively affect our overall financial performance.

Our financial results are affected by changes in interest rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificate Rate (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário, or “CDI”) and the Brazilian Long-Term Interest Rate (Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo, or “TJLP”). The CDI rate has fluctuated significantly in the past in response to the expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy, as it is an instrument for Brazilian Central Bank to manage inflation and pursuit its policies targets. The CDI rate was 9.15% p.a. as of December 31, 2021, while it was 1.90% p.a. and 4.40% p.a. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The TJLP rate was 5.32% p.a., 4.55% p.a. and 5.57% p.a. as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

A significant increase in interest rates may impact our ability to secure financing in acceptable terms and an increase in interest rates, particularly TJLP, CDI, LIBOR or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or the inflation rate index for consumer goods, or IPCA, could have a material adverse effect on our financial expenses since a significant part of our debt (BNDES loans, Agribusiness Credit Receivable Certificates - CRA and Export Prepayment Facilities) is linked to these rates. On the other hand, a significant reduction in the CDI rate could adversely impact our financial revenues derived from investment activities, since a material portion of our cash is invested in Brazilian money market instruments that are linked to the CDI rate.

On March 5, 2021 the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced in a public statement the date of extinction of all Libor rates, including that LIBOR 3-months (term to which our contracts are linked) for June 30^th, 2023. The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York convened the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), a group of private-market participants, to help ensure a successful transition from U.S. dollar (USD) LIBOR to a more robust reference rate, its recommended alternative, the SOFR. Although the adoption of SOFR is voluntary, the impending discontinuation of LIBOR makes it essential that market participants consider moving to alternative rates such as SOFR and that they have appropriate fallback language in existing contracts referencing LIBOR. In this regard, our derivative and debt contracts may be affected by the change in the relevant rate. Because the publication of LIBOR will cease for June 2023, we have begun to migrate to the adoption of SOFR as an alternative rate, which will materialize with the termination of LIBOR

16

The Company identified all of its contracts subject to LIBOR reform that have not yet been subject to the transition to an alternative reference rate and has already started contacting the respective counterparties of each contract to ensure that the best market practices will be adopted at the time of transition of the index, these terms are still under negotiation between the parties. We cannot predict how the (i) provisions relating to the discontinuation of LIBOR we have been including in our contracts, (ii) negotiations with other parties for definition of new applicable rates, or (iii) determination of an equivalent fee by a calculation agent will be implemented in practice, practice and can give no assurance that such implementation will not have a material effect on our financing costs.

A failure or interruption of our third-party suppliers’ or our information technology systems or automated machinery may impact or paralyze our business and negatively impact our operations. Our third-party suppliers’ and our information technology system may also be vulnerable to external actions such as cyber-attacks, which can have a negative impact on our operations, reputation, improper access of confidential information and disruption of our systems integrity as well as result in fines, obligations to clients or legal litigation and have an adverse effect on the results of our business.

Our operations are heavily reliant on information technology systems to efficiently manage business processes. Therefore, disruptions to these systems may impact or even paralyze our business and negatively impact our operations. In addition, we collect and store data, including proprietary business information, and may have access to confidential or personal information in certain of our businesses that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and customer-imposed controls. Moreover, any failure of our third-party suppliers’ or our systems related to confidential information, caused by external cyber-attacks or internal actions, including negligence and/or misconduct of our employees, can have a negative impact on our reputation against competitors and external agents (government, regulators, suppliers and others).

Our third-party suppliers’ and our information technology systems may be vulnerable to external actions such as natural disasters, viruses, cyber-attacks, and other security breaches. Any damage or interruption may cause a negative adverse effect on the results of our business, including fines, obligations to clients or legal litigation.

We and our third-party suppliers may be subject to breaches of automation systems causing partial and/or temporary shutdowns of operations and/or improper access to strategic information, in addition to change or loss of relevant data. Costs to address the vulnerability and/or problems mentioned may be significant and may temporarily affect our operations.

While these measures are designed to deterrent, prevent, detect, and respond to unauthorized activities in our systems, we cannot assure that these, or the procedures adopted by third-party suppliers, would be to protect us from certain types of attacks, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation.

Furthermore, any changes to existing safety regulations may impose additional obligations on us and result in an increase in our expenses with respect to safety equipment and procedures. For instance, changes imposing a reduced workday for safety reasons may result in reduced productivity, forcing us to hire additional staff. Similarly, provisions requiring us to install or buy additional safety equipment could increase our labor-related costs and adversely affect our operating costs and results.

Any failure to adapt to or comply with recent Brazilian regulations on data privacy may adversely affect our results and reputation.

On August 15, 2018, the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados – LGPD) came into force. The LGPD regulates the use of personal data in Brazil. The LGPD significantly transformed the data protection system in Brazil and is in line with recent European legislation (the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR). The LGPD establishes detailed rules for the collection, use, processing and storage of personal data. It will affect all economic sectors, including the relationship between customers and suppliers of goods and services, employees and employers and other relationships in which personal data is collected, both in the digital and physical environment. Pursuant to the LGPD, security breaches that may result in significant risk or damage to personal data must be reported to the National Authority on Data Protection (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados – ANPD), the data protection regulatory body, within a reasonable time period. In light of the LGPD, our practices related to the treatment of personal data, including digital advertising, may undergo significant changes, generating additional costs to us due to the need to adapt such practices to the LGPD.

17

Failure to comply with the LGPD may result in formal warnings, public sanctions, the deletion of data, or the suspension of data processing activities. Furthermore, a company may be subject to a fine equal to up to 2% of its gross sales, or the gross sales of its economic group in Brazil, in the preceding fiscal year, excluding taxes, but limited to a total of R$50 million per violation. As a result, failure by us to adhere to the LGPD and any additional privacy laws or regulations enacted or approved in Brazil or in other jurisdictions in which we operate could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We cannot guarantee that our data protection program will be deemed sufficient by the ANPD to meet the provisions of the LGPD, due the lack of orientation about specific requirements, nor that such program will prevent any failures in the protection of personal data processed by us, including with respect to cybersecurity incidents.

A downgrade in our credit ratings may increase our borrowing costs and/or restrict the availability of new capital or financings and have a material adverse effect on us.

The ratings address the likelihood, according to the respective evaluation methodology of each rating agency, of payment of our debt and obligations at their maturity. The ratings also address the timely payment of interest and other costs on each interest payment date. The assigned ratings to us may be raised, lowered or held constant depending, among other factors, on the rating agencies’ respective assessment of our financial strength or a change in methodology of credit assessment adopted by the credit risk agencies. We cannot assure you that our rating will remain for any given period of time or that the rating will not be lowered or withdrawn.

If our credit ratings are downgraded and the market were to perceive any such downgrade as a deterioration of our financial strength, our cost of borrowing would likely increase and our net income could decrease and our ability to obtain new financing may be adversely affected, all of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, credit rating is sensitive to any change in Brazilian sovereign credit ratings. The credit ratings of the Brazilian sovereign were downgraded in 2016 and 2018, and are no longer investment grade according to the methodologies of the major global rating agencies. Any further decrease in Brazilian sovereign credit ratings may have additional adverse consequences on our ability to obtain financing or our cost of financing and, consequently, on our results of operations and financial condition.

Unfavorable outcomes in litigation may negatively affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of our business dealings, we and our officers are, and may become, party to numerous tax, civil (including environmental) and labor disputes involving, among other remedies, significant monetary claims. An unfavorable outcome against us may result in our being required to pay substantial amounts of money, which could materially adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Additionally, the amounts provisioned for legal proceedings may increase and existing provisions may become insufficient due to unfavorable outcomes in disputes against us. For more information on tax, civil (including environmental), labor and other proceedings, see Item 8. “Financial Information—Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information—Legal and Administrative Proceedings.”

Changes in the credit risk of customers and suppliers to whom we have made advances, sales through credit lines or loans may adversely affect us.

In the markets in which we operate, it is typical, and often a condition for competitive participation, for pulp and paper producers to make advances to suppliers or to make sales to customers on credit. When we make advances, sales on credit or loans to our suppliers or customers, we assume their credit risk. Additionally, we assume additional risks when using debt instruments to make advances and sales on credit to our customers, such as credit letters. Therefore, changes in the macroeconomic environment or the market conditions under which our suppliers and our customers operate, in addition to problems related to the management of our suppliers and clients, may significantly affect their ability to make payments to us, directly impacting our assets and working capital.

These practices also expose us to the risk of a significant divergence between the rates under which we obtain financing from third parties and the rates that we grant to our customers and suppliers. We cannot assure you that we will always be able to match the terms under which we provide financing to our customers and suppliers with the terms of financing provided to us. Any increase in our customers’ and suppliers’ credit risk or divergence between their and our capital costs may materially adversely affect our shareholders’ equity and results of operations.

18

Social crisis in the relationship with communities and class entities, as well as, expropriation of any of our properties by the government affect the regular use, cause damage, or deprive us of the use of or fair value compensation of our properties.

Organized social movements in Brazil defend agrarian reform and the redistribution of property, with irregular occupations in rural areas being the best known form of action. Such occupations when in areas of the company may interrupt our forestry or industrial activities and, consequently, negatively affect our productive and operational results.

In addition to stoppages, land conflicts can cause a series of risks to the integrity of our employees who work in the field, possible damage to areas of high environmental value such as Permanent Preservation Areas and buffer zones of Environmental Conservation Units, in addition to reputational damage.

An alternative to this scenario is the negotiation with state governments or the federal government and social movements aiming to definitively solve occupations already installed, and to avoid new occupations. According to Brazilian law, governments can act directly on the expropriation of areas, as long as they are in legal and environmental compliance. If the Brazilian government expropriates any property used by us for developing our activities, the results of our operations may be adversely affected. Moreover, if a property owned by us is expropriated, our equity may be adversely affected because it is not possible to guarantee that the compensation paid by the government will be adequate to the losses borne by us. The risk associated with this alternative is that the financial compensation offered by the governments proves to be insufficient or until the compensation via public debt securities, which have limited liquidity, is forced.

The deterioration in labor relations with employees could adversely affect the Company.

We depend on intensive use of labor in our activities. Most of our employees are represented by unions, and their employment contracts are regulated by collective bargaining agreements. New collective bargaining agreements may have shorter terms than our previous agreements, and, if we are not able to negotiate collective bargaining agreements on acceptable terms to us, we may be subject to a significant increase in labor costs, deterioration of employee relations, slowdowns or work stoppages, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Additionally, changes in safety and outsourcing regulations may result in an increase in our labor-related costs. We may be considered secondarily liable for any employment obligations relating to such employees or a direct employment relationship may be established by the labor courts with the outsourced employees and us, according to the current regulation in force.

The introduction of a stricter legal framework regarding the use of outsourced employees or third-party subcontractors, and/or the imposition of additional obligations on the contractor of outsourced services, may increase our labor-related costs and may adversely affect our business and operations.

In accordance with existing labor laws and regulations, we are required to provide and ensure the proper use of safety equipment for our employees and other individuals working on our worksites. If we fail to provide all necessary safety equipment and ensure the proper use of the safety equipment, or if we work with companies that are not sufficiently committed to ensuring the safety of their own employees, we may be held liable for any accidents that take place at our worksites. Any accidents at our worksites may expose us to the payment of indemnifications, fines and penalties.

In addition, any changes to existing safety regulations may impose additional obligations on us and result in an increase in our expenses with respect to safety equipment and procedures. For instance, changes imposing a reduced workday for safety reasons may result in reduced productivity, forcing us to hire additional staff. Similarly, provisions requiring us to install or buy additional safety equipment could increase our labor-related costs and adversely affect our operating costs and results.

19

Our hedging activities may expose us to losses due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates or interest rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

We regularly enter into currency, interest rate, commodity price and inflation hedging transactions using financial derivatives instruments, such as future contracts, options and swaps, in accordance with our policies. We have traditionally used hedging transactions to, among others, (1) protect our revenue (which is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars) when converted to reais (our functional currency), (2) convert part of our debt which is denominated in reais into U.S. dollars, (3) swap floating interest rates of our debt to fixed interest rates, (4) swap floating monetary variation of our debt to fixed rate, and swap part of our IPCA indexed debt to CDI.

We account for our derivative instruments at fair value, in accordance with IFRS. The fair value of such instruments may increase or decrease due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates or interest rates, among others, prior to their settlement date. The recent valuation of the real against the U.S. dollar has led to the decrease of the negative fair value of such instruments. We may incur losses due to these market risk factors. Fluctuations may also result from changes in economic conditions, investor sentiment, monetary and fiscal policies, the liquidity of global markets, international and regional political events, acts of war, terrorism, among others.

In the event that we cease to undertake hedging transactions to the extent necessary, we may be exposed to currency exchange, interest rate and inflation risks, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Delays in the expansion of our facilities, building new facilities or the ramp up of new or expanded facilities may increase our costs and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

As part of our strategy, we may decide to expand our existing production facilities or build new production facilities. The expansion or construction of a production facility involves various risks, such as engineering, construction, operational systems, integration with the existing mill on brownfield projects, regulatory and other expected or unexpected significant challenges. These risks delay or prevent the successful operation of the project or significantly increase our costs. Our ability to complete successfully any expansion or new construction project subject to risks, including:

● we may either not be able to complete any expansion or new construction project on time or within the expected budget or be required by market conditions or other factors to delay the initiation of construction or the timetable to complete new projects or expansions, including adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, fires, delays in supply, inputs or labor and accidents that impair or prevent the development of ongoing projects;

● our new or modified facilities may not operate at designed capacity, ramp up its learning curve as planned or may cost more to operate than we expect;

● we may not be able to sell our additional production at competitive prices;

● we may not have cash, or be able to acquire financing, to implement our growth plans;

● variations on exchange rate or product price may decrease significantly generated value by expansion project or new facilities;

● climate changes could affect our forest base for new projects or brownfield, and significantly increase our wood cost;

● we may have a negative impact on existing mills that can result on operational instability;

Any of the above events could have a negative impact in our business and financial and operating results.

20

Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover our losses, especially in case of damage to our planted forests, which may cause a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover losses to our forests, mills, dams, hydroelectric plants and other operating facilities caused by general third party liability for accidents, operational risks and international and domestic transportation if we suffer any catastrophic claim or if there is a particular clause excluding the coverage. In addition, we do not maintain insurance coverage against wars, unforeseeable fortuitous events, force majeure, interruption of certain activities, including due pandemics such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, as well as fire, thefts, pests, diseases, droughts and other risks to our forests. The incurrence of losses or other liabilities that are not covered by insurance, due to the limited extent of the insurance coverage, losses that exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or any other reason that prevents reimbursement or indemnification, could result in significant and unexpected additional costs, our ability to operate and/or shortage of wood supply, which may affect our production. Moreover, the terms and conditions for the renewal of our insurance policies may change in the future depending upon market circumstances and the type and amount of risks insured. See Item 4. “Information on the Company—Business Overview—Insurance.”

Risks Relating to Brazil

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. This influence, as well as Brazilian political and economic conditions, may materially and adversely affect us, our activities and the trading prices of our shares.

We conduct a substantial amount of our operations in Brazil, and we sell part of our products to customers in the Brazilian market. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 16.4% of our net revenues were derived from Brazil. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on economic conditions in Brazil. Future developments in the Brazilian economy may affect Brazil’s growth rates and, consequently, the consumption of our products. As a result, these developments could impair our business strategies, results of operations or financial condition.

The Brazilian economy has been characterized by frequent, and occasionally drastic, interventions by the Brazilian federal government, which have often changed monetary, credit and other policies to influence Brazil’s economy. The Brazilian federal government’s actions to control inflation and other policies have often involved wage and price controls, depreciation of the real, changes in tax policies, controls on remittances abroad, fluctuations of the Central Bank of Brazil’s base interest rate, as well as other measures. We have no control over, nor can we foresee, any measures or policies that the Brazilian federal government may adopt in the future. We may be materially adversely affected by changes in the policies of the Brazilian federal government, in addition to other general economic factors, including, without limitation:

● political, economic and social instability;

● monetary policies;

● political elections;

● inflation;

● exchange rate fluctuations;

● exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;

● tax policy and amendments to the tax legislation;

● interest rates;

● liquidity of domestic and foreign capital and lending markets;

● government control of the production of our products;

21

● restrictive environmental and real estate laws and regulations; and

● other political, social and economic policies or developments in or affecting Brazil.

Uncertainty as to whether the Brazilian federal government will implement changes in policy or regulations affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets and the securities issued by Brazilian companies, including us. Accordingly, such uncertainties and other future developments in the Brazilian economy nay adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation, negatively impacting our available cash flows for payment, and the trading price of our common shares.

Changes in Brazilian fiscal policies and tax laws may adversely affect us.

The Brazilian federal government has indicated its willingness to implement a tax reform agenda, including to (i) revoke the income tax exemption over the distribution of dividends, which, if promulgated, would increase tax expenses associated with any dividends or distributions, and (ii) decrease import tax (which would increase competition and the role of international competitors), both of which could impact our ability to pay future dividends. Any purported tax reform or change in fiscal policies, if proposed and implemented, may also significantly impact our business. If there is a tax reform or any changes in applicable laws and regulations that alter the applicable taxes or tax incentives/special regimes, either during or after their terms of validity, our business and results may be affected.

Indeed, the Brazilian federal government has frequently implemented, and may continue to implement, changes in its fiscal policies, including, but not limited to, changes to tax rates, fees, sectorial charges and occasionally the collection of temporary contributions. Some of these measures may result in tax hikes that may negatively affect our business. Increases in taxes could also materially adversely impact industry profitability and the prices of our services, restrict our ability to do business in our existing and target markets and cause our financial results to be negatively impacted. If we are unable to pass on the additional costs associated with such fiscal policy changes to our clients through the prices we charge for our services, we may be adversely affected.

Uncertainty over whether the acting Brazilian federal government will implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the securities issued abroad by Brazilian companies.

Significant fluctuations in the exchange rate of the real against the value of the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our business, financial conditions or results of operations.

Our export revenues are directly affected by exchange rate variation. Depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar will increase such revenues when denominated in reais, while appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar will decrease such export revenues. Our revenues in the domestic market are also affected by exchange rate fluctuation, to the extent that imported products quoted in U.S. dollars become more or less competitive in the domestic market depending on the exchange rate variation.

Furthermore, some of our costs and operating expenses are also affected by fluctuations in the value of the real against the U.S. dollar, including export insurance, freight costs and the cost of certain chemicals we use as raw materials. Depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar will increase such costs, while appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar will reduce these costs.

Additionally, we may be adversely affected by depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar, since a significant portion of our debt is expressed in U.S. dollars. Depreciation or appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar may increase or decrease, as applicable, our financial expenses arising from these debt and other obligations in U.S. dollars, as well as adversely affect our ability to comply with certain covenants under financing agreements, which require us to maintain specific financial ratios. On the other hand, a significant appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar or an appreciation during an extended period of time may significantly affect our cost structure and negatively affect our competitiveness in export markets.

22

As a result of inflationary pressures in recent years, the Brazilian real has been periodically devalued in relation to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. The Brazilian federal government has in the past implemented various economic plans and utilized a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly, floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. From time to time, there have been significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar and other currencies. There can be no assurance that the real will not depreciate or be devalued again against the U.S. dollar or against any other foreign currency.

Devaluations of the real relative to the U.S. dollar could create additional inflationary pressures in Brazil, lead to increases in interest rates, further limit our access to foreign financial markets and prompt the adoption of recessionary policies by the Brazilian federal government. Conversely, the depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar may lead to a further deterioration of Brazil’s current account and balance of payments and cause a decrease in Brazilian exports. Any of the foregoing developments may negatively affect the Brazilian economy as a whole, and, consequently, our results. In recent years, the Central Bank of Brazil has occasionally intervened to control unstable movements in the foreign exchange rate. We cannot predict whether the Central Bank of Brazil will continue to let the real float freely. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict what impact the Brazilian Central Bank exchange rate policies may have on us. We cannot assure that in the future the Brazilian federal government will not impose a currency band within which the real U.S. dollar-real exchange rate could fluctuate or set fixed exchange rates, nor can we predict what impact such an event might have on our business, financial position or operating results.

Economic and market conditions in other countries, including in the United States and emerging market countries, may materially and adversely affect the Brazilian economy and, therefore, our financial condition.

The market for securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil, and, to varying degrees, market conditions in other countries, whether emerging market countries or not. Although economic conditions are different in each country, the reaction of investors to developments in one country may cause the domestic or international capital markets prices to fluctuate. Developments or conditions in other countries, including non-recurrent events such as US-China trade war, acts of war and related sanctions and other events have at times significantly affected the availability of credit in the Brazilian economy and resulted in considerable outflows of funds and reductions in the amount of foreign currency invested in Brazil, as well as limited access to international capital markets, all of which may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow funds at an acceptable interest rate or to raise equity capital when and if we should have such a need.

Additionally, we depend on third-party financing to carry out our activities, especially to finance our capital expenditures and working capital. In circumstances of limited liquidity, credit availability may be scarce, expensive or nonexistent, and we may face difficulties in our regular activities and in honoring our financial commitments.

Risks Relating to Our Shares and ADSs

Exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad may adversely affect holders of ADSs.

Brazilian laws provide that whenever a serious imbalance in Brazil’s balance of payments exists or is anticipated, the Brazilian federal government may impose temporary restrictions on the repatriation by foreign investors of the proceeds of their investment in Brazil and on the conversion of Brazilian currency into foreign currency. For example, for six months in 1989 and early 1990, the Brazilian federal government restricted all fund transfers that were owed to foreign equity investors and held by the Central Bank of Brazil, in order to preserve Brazil’s foreign currency reserves. These amounts were subsequently released in accordance with Brazilian federal government directives. Although the Brazilian federal government has never exercised such a prerogative since, we cannot guarantee that the Brazilian federal government will not take similar actions in the future.

23

You may be adversely affected if the Brazilian federal government imposes restrictions on the remittance to foreign investors of the proceeds of their investments in Brazil and, as it has done in the past, on the conversion of the real into foreign currencies. These restrictions could hinder or prevent the conversion of dividends, distributions or the proceeds from any sale of shares, as the case may be, into U.S. dollars and the remittance of U.S. dollars abroad. We cannot assure that the government will not take this measure or similar measures in the future. Holders of ADSs could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, any required governmental approval for conversion of real payments and remittances abroad in respect of the shares, including the shares underlying the ADSs. In such a case, the ADS depositary will distribute reais or hold the reais it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid.

Holders of ADSs may face difficulties in serving process on or enforcing judgments against us and other persons, as well as may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are subject to different corporate rules and regulations than a U.S. company.

We are organized under and are subject to the laws of Brazil and all our directors and executive officers and our independent registered public accounting firm reside or are based in Brazil. Substantially all of our assets and those of these other persons are located in Brazil. Moreover, our corporate affairs are governed by our bylaws and Brazilian Corporate Law, which differ from the legal principles that would apply if we were incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States or elsewhere outside Brazil. In addition, the rights of an ADS holder, which are derivative of the rights of holders of our common shares, to protect their interests are different under Brazilian Corporate Law than under the laws of other jurisdictions. Rules against insider trading and self-dealing and the preservation of shareholder interests may also be different in Brazil than in the United States. Furthermore, the structure of a class action in Brazil is different from that in the US, and under Brazilian law, shareholders in Brazilian companies do not have standing to bring a class action, and under our by-laws must, generally with respect to disputes concerning rules regarding the operation of the capital markets, arbitrate any such disputes.

As a result, it may not be possible for holders of the ADSs to effect service of process upon us or these other persons within the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil or to enforce against us or these other persons judgments obtained in the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil. Because judgments of U.S. courts for civil liabilities based upon the U.S. federal securities laws may only be enforced in Brazil if certain conditions are met, the ADS holders may face greater difficulties in protecting their interests due to actions by us, our directors or executive officers than would shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

The relative volatility and lack of liquidity of the markets for our securities may adversely affect holders of our shares and the ADSs.

Investments in securities, such as our common shares or ADSs, of issuers from emerging market countries, including Brazil, involve a higher degree of risk than investments in securities of issuers from more developed countries. The Brazilian securities market is substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than major securities markets in the United States and other jurisdictions, and may be regulated differently from the ways familiar to U.S. investors. There is also significantly greater concentration in the Brazilian securities market than in major securities markets in the United States. These features may substantially limit the ability to sell our shares, including our shares underlying the ADSs, at a price and time at which holders wish to do so and, as a result, could negatively impact the market price of these securities.

In addition, although our public float represented 54.2% (excluding Treasury Shares) of our total capital float as of December 31, 2021, only 3.7% were represented by ADSs. Moreover, our controlling shareholders (including related parties and management) hold 44.9% of our stock. Any potential sale by these shareholders could adversely affect the market price of our securities.

24

Holders of ADSs may find it difficult to exercise voting rights at our shareholders’ meetings.

Holders of ADSs do not have the same voting rights as holders of our shares. Holders of ADSs will not be our direct shareholders and will be unable to enforce directly the rights of shareholders under our bylaws and Brazilian Corporate Law, they are entitled to the contractual rights set forth for their benefit under the deposit agreement. Holders of ADSs will face practical limitations in exercising their voting rights because of the additional steps involved in our communications with ADS holders. For example, we are required to publish a notice of our shareholders’ meetings in specified newspapers in Brazil. Holders of our shares will be able to exercise their voting rights by attending a shareholders’ meeting in person or voting by proxy. By contrast, ADS holders will receive notice of a shareholders’ meeting by mail from The Bank of New York Mellon, as our depositary, following our notice to the depositary requesting the depository to do so. To exercise their voting rights, ADSs holders have to provide instructions to the depositary on a timely basis on how they wish to vote. In practice, the ability of a holder of ADSs to instruct the depositary as to voting will depend on the timing and procedures for providing instructions to the depositary, either directly or through the holder’s custodian and clearing system and this voting process necessarily will take longer for holders of ADSs than for holders of our shares.

Holders of ADSs also may not receive the voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote the shares underlying their ADSs. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions of the holders of ADSs or for the manner of carrying out those voting instructions. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise voting rights, and they will have little, if any, recourse if the units underlying their ADSs are not voted as requested.

If holders of ADSs exchange their ADSs for underlying shares, they risk losing the ability to timely remit foreign currency abroad and other related advantages.

The ADSs benefit from the certificate of foreign capital registration, which permits our depositary to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to common shares into foreign currency, and to remit the proceeds abroad. The conversion of ADSs directly into ownership of the underlying shares is governed by CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, and foreign investors who intend to proceed with such conversion are required to appoint a representative in Brazil for purposes of Annex I of CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, who will be in charge of keeping and updating the investors’ certificates of registrations with the Central Bank of Brazil, which entitles registered foreign investors to buy and sell directly on the B3. These arrangements may require additional expenses from the foreign investor. Moreover, if such representatives fail to obtain or update the relevant certificates of registration, investors may incur additional expenses or be subject to operational delays which could affect their ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to the shares or the return of their capital in a timely manner.

If holders of ADSs do not qualify under CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, they will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment on distributions with respect to our common shares. There can be no assurance that the certificate of registration of our depositary, or any certificate of foreign capital registration obtained by holders of ADSs, will not be affected by future legislative or regulatory changes, or that additional Brazilian law restrictions applicable to their investment in the ADSs may not be imposed in the future.

Holders of our shares will be subject to, and holders of the ADSs could be subject to, Brazilian income tax on capital gains from sales of shares or ADSs. Brazilian Law No. 10,833/03 provides that gains on the disposition of assets located in Brazil by non-residents of Brazil, whether to other non-residents or to Brazilian residents, will be subject to Brazilian taxation. Our shares are expected to be treated as assets located in Brazil for purposes of the law, and gains on the disposition of our shares, even by non-residents of Brazil, are expected to be subject to Brazilian taxation. In addition, the ADSs may be treated as assets located in Brazil for purposes of the law, and therefore gains on the disposition of the ADSs by non-residents of Brazil may be subject to Brazilian taxation. Although the holders of ADSs outside Brazil may have grounds to assert that Law No. 10,833/00 does not apply to sales or other dispositions of ADSs, it is not possible to predict whether that understanding will ultimately prevail in the courts of Brazil given the general and unclear scope of Law No. 10,833/03 and the absence of judicial court rulings in respect thereof.

25

Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise the preemptive rights relating to our shares underlying the ADSs.

Holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to our shares underlying their ADSs unless a registration statement under the  Securities Act, is effective with respect to the rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We are not obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the shares or other securities relating to these preemptive rights, and we cannot assure holders of ADSs that we will file any such registration statement. Unless we file a registration statement or an exemption from registration applies, holders of ADSs may receive only the net proceeds from the sale of their preemptive rights by the depositary or, if the preemptive rights cannot be sold, the rights will be allowed to lapse.

We may issue new shares, including in the form of ADSs, which may result in a dilution of our current shareholders’ stake.

We may seek to raise additional capital in the future through public or private issuances of shares or securities convertible into shares. According to article 172 of Brazilian Corporation Law, we may not be required to grant preemptive rights to our shareholders in the event of a capital increase through a public offering of shares or securities convertible into shares, which may result in a dilution of our current shareholders’ stake in our company.

The holders of our shares (including our shares underlying the ADSs) may not receive dividends or interest on net equity.

According to our bylaws, our shareholders are entitled to receive a mandatory minimum annual dividend of the lower of (i) 25% of our annual net profit, calculated and adjusted under the terms of the Brazilian Corporation Law, or (ii) 10% of our operating cash generation in the corresponding fiscal period, which is calculated by subtracting the amount of the investments in maintenance of the respective fiscal year from the Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our bylaws. Our bylaws allow for the payment of interim dividends, to the retained earnings account or the existing earnings reserves in the last yearly or six-month balance, by means of the annual dividend. We may also pay interest on net equity, as described by Brazilian law. The interim dividends and the interest on net equity declared in each fiscal year may be imputed as the mandatory dividend that results from the fiscal year in which they are distributed. At the general shareholders meeting, shareholders may decide on the capitalization, on the offset of our losses or on the net income retention, as provided for in the Brazilian Corporation Law, with the aforementioned net income not being made available for the payment of dividends or interest on own capital. Additionally, Brazilian Corporate Law allows a publicly traded company, like ours, to suspend the mandatory distribution of dividends and interest on net equity in any particular year if our board of directors informs our shareholders that such distribution would be inadvisable in view of our financial condition or cash availability.

Our management is strongly influenced by our controlling shareholders and their interests may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders.

Our controlling shareholders have the power to, among other things, appoint a majority of the members of our board of directors and to decide any matters requiring shareholder approval, including related-party transactions, corporate reorganizations and disposals, and the timing and payment of any future dividends, subject to the requirements of mandatory dividends under the Brazilian Corporation Law.

Our controlling shareholders may have an interest in making acquisitions, disposals of assets, partnerships, seeking financing or making other decisions that may conflict with the interests of the other shareholders.

Additionally, any of our controlling shareholders may opt to sell significant part or the totality of their respective equity to third parties. In case we cease to have controlling shareholders, the remaining shareholders may no longer have the right to the same protection granted by the Brazilian Corporation Law against the abuses practiced by other shareholders and, as consequence, they may face difficulty in the compensation for damages suffered.

Any unexpected change in our management, in our business strategy and policies, tentative of control acquisition or any dispute among shareholders regarding their rights, may adversely affect our business and operational results.

26

In case a group of shareholders arises acting together or bounded by a voting agreement, and such group cause to hold the decision control, we may suffer unexpected changes in our business strategy and policies, including through the mechanism of the replacement of the board of directors and statutory offices. In addition, we may turn more vulnerable to hostile takeovers attempts and conflicts arising from such attempts.

Judgments of Brazilian courts with respect to our shares and the ADSs will be payable only in reais

Our bylaws provide that we, our shareholders, our directors and officers and the members of our fiscal council shall submit to arbitration any and all disputes or controversies that may arise amongst ourselves relating to, or originating from, the application, validity, effectiveness, interpretation, violations and effects of violations of the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law, our bylaws, the rules and regulations of the CMN, the Brazilian Central Bank and the CVM, as well as other rules and regulations applicable to the Brazilian capital markets and the rules and regulations of the Arbitration Regulation of the Market Arbitration Chamber. However, in specific situations, including whenever precautionary motions are needed for protection of rights, the dispute or controversy may have to be brought to a Brazilian court. If proceedings are brought in the courts of Brazil seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of our shares or the ADSs, we will not be required to discharge our obligations in a currency other than reais. Under Brazilian exchange control limitations, an obligation in Brazil to pay amounts denominated in a currency other than reais may only be satisfied in Brazilian currency at the exchange rate, as determined by the Central Bank of Brazil, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and such amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective payment date. The then-prevailing exchange rate may not afford non-Brazilian investors with full compensation for any claim arising out of or related to our obligations under our shares and ADSs.

As a foreign private issuer, we have different disclosure and other requirements than U.S. domestic registrants.

As a foreign private issuer, we may be subject to different disclosure and other requirements than domestic U.S. registrants. For example, as a foreign private issuer, in the United States, we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a domestic U.S. registrant under the  Exchange Act, including the requirements to prepare and issue quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or to file current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events, the proxy rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 14 of the Exchange Act or the insider reporting and short swing profit rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we rely on exemptions from certain U.S. rules which will permit us to follow Brazilian legal requirements rather than certain of the requirements that are applicable to U.S. domestic registrants.

Furthermore, foreign private issuers are required to file their annual report on Form 20-F within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days following the end of each fiscal year. As a result of the above, even though, following the declaration of effectiveness of the registration to which this prospectus is attached, we will be required to make submissions on Form 6-K disclosing the information that we have made or are required to make public pursuant to Brazilian law, or are required to distribute to shareholders generally, and that is material to us, you may not receive information of the same type or amount that is required to be disclosed to shareholders of a U.S. company.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.History and Development of the Company

We, Suzano S.A., were incorporated as a corporation on December 8, 1987 under the laws of Brazil. We have the legal status of a sociedade por ações, or a stock corporation, under the Brazilian Corporation Law. Our principal place of business is located at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 1355, 7th floor, São Paulo, SP, 01452-919, Brazil (telephone: +55 11 3503-9000). Our shares are traded on the special listing segment of the B3, which provides for the highest level of corporate governance in the Brazilian market, and our ADSs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

27

We are subject to reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and are required to file with the SEC, or furnish to the SEC, reports and other information. The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC using its EDGAR system. We also make available on our website’s investor relations page, free of charge, our annual report and the text of our reports on Form 6-K, including any amendments to these reports, as well as certain other SEC filings, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. Our website address is http://ir.suzano.com.br, and investor information can be found therein under the caption “Investor Relations.” Information contained on our website is, however, not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered a part of this annual report.

Our activities began in 1924, when Leon Feffer, our founder, first entered the paper business to resell national and imported paper used for business cards, writing pads and stationery. In the late 1930s, with the purchase of its first machine, the Suzano Group began to produce its own paper. In the 1950s, Companhia Suzano was formed, becoming what we believe to be the first global industrial-scale producer of eucalyptus pulp. In the mid-1960s, Companhia Suzano became the first paper producer to use 100% eucalyptus pulp in the production of printing and writing paper, according to “The History of the Pulp and Paper Industry in Brazil” (“A História da Indústria de Celulose e Papel no Brasil”), published by the Brazilian Technical Association of Paper and Pulp (Associação Brasileira Técnica de Papel e Celulose), or the ABTCP, in 2004.

On December 8, 1987, we were incorporated under the name Bahia Sul Celulose S.A., or Bahia Sul, as a joint venture between Companhia Vale do Rio Doce - CVRD (currently Vale S.A.), or Vale, and Companhia Suzano. In 2001, Companhia Suzano acquired all of the shares of Bahia Sul that were previously held by Vale, increasing its ownership interest to 100% of our voting stock and 73% of our total stock. In 2002, Companhia Suzano held an exchange offer of preferred shares without voting rights issued by Bahia Sul for new preferred shares without voting rights issued by us, in order to acquire all outstanding preferred shares of Bahia Sul. Upon completion of the exchange offer, our share in Bahia Sul’s capital stock increased to 93.9%.

In 2004, Companhia Suzano merged into Bahia Sul, with the resulting entity named Suzano Bahia Sul Papel e Celulose S.A. In the same year, we listed our shares on the Level 1 segment of the BM&FBOVESPA (former name of B3), thus guaranteeing transparency in our operations and accountability to our shareholders. In July 2006, our corporate name was changed to our former name, Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.

In 2012, we completed a R$1.5 billion capital increase through a public offering of new shares in the market. The proceeds of the capital increase were used, in part, to finance the construction of our new pulp production unit in the state of Maranhão, which began operations in March 2013.

In 2015, we announced a new three-pillar business strategy: structural competitiveness, adjacent businesses and reshaping the industry. As part of our structural competitiveness strategy, we announced investments to modernize and increase the capacity of our mills and to increase and locate the forest base closer to our mills. In addition to an expected increase in total production capacity, we believe that these projects have been contributing to an approach focused on cost structure optimization. Our adjacent businesses strategy seeks new uses of our asset base and diversification of our products. In 2015, we commenced the production of fluff pulp and announced investments in lignin and the tissue segment. As part of our strategy to reshape the industry, we explore new paths and seek opportunities for reducing our business exposure to market volatility.

In September 2017, we approved the admission of our shares for trading on the listing segment called Novo Mercado of B3, followed by the conversion of the preferred shares issued by us into common shares at the ratio of one preferred share, class “A” or class “B”, for one common share. In addition, we also approved the restatement of our bylaws to adapt them to Novo Mercado rules and a change of our methodology to calculate mandatory dividends, also reflecting best corporate governance practices. We concluded the migration to Novo Mercado segment of B3 in November 2017.

On March 15, 2018, each of Suzano Holding S.A., David Feffer, Daniel Feffer, Jorge Feffer and Ruben Feffer, on one hand, and Votorantim and BNDESPAR, on the other hand, along with Suzano, as intervening party, entered into a voting agreement (Compromisso de Voto e Assunção de Obrigações) (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed on the terms and conditions of a merger of shares (incorporação de ações) of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria”) and Suzano (the “Merger”), and agreed to exercise their respective voting rights in favor of the Merger. On July 26, 2018, Suzano and Fibria entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), substantially in the form attached to the Voting Agreement, for the combination of the operations and shareholder bases of Fibria and Suzano through a corporate reorganization.

28

On December 10, 2018, we started trading our Level II ADRs, in accordance with the program approved by the CVM. The Bank of New York Mellon is acting as our depositary bank in the United States, responsible for issuing the respective depositary shares, at the ratio of one ADS for each two common shares. The ADR Program did not require any capital increase or issue of new shares. Its goal is to expand access by foreign investors to our company and increase our stock’s liquidity.

On January 14, 2019, following receipt of all required corporate and regulatory approvals, the Merger was consummated, and Fibria became our wholly owned subsidiary. On such date, holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares and ADSs of Fibria at the record date set in accordance with the Merger Agreement, received shares and ADSs of our company, plus an amount of cash per share of Fibria (R$50.20) calculated pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Upon completion of the Merger, we became the world’s largest producer of market pulp, with an aggregate installed capacity of 10.9 million metric tons of eucalyptus pulp per year and a broad and diversified forest base. Furthermore, on April 1, 2019, Fibria merged with and into Suzano. As a result, the separate corporate existence of Fibria ceased, and Suzano continued as the surviving entity under the laws of Brazil. Accordingly, title to and possession of all property, interests, assets, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Fibria vested in Suzano and all debt, liabilities, duties and obligations of Fibria became debt, liabilities, duties and obligations of Suzano.

On April 1, 2019, our shareholders approved our name change from Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. to Suzano S.A. at our extraordinary shareholders’ meeting. The change of our name was approved by the CVM on April 18, 2019 and became effective with retroactive effect to the date of approval by our shareholders.

On October 6, 2020, BNDES Participações SA – BNDESPAR concluded the public offering for the secondary sale of its 150,217,425 shares held in Suzano, including 13,180,000 Shares in the form of American Depositary Shares , at a price per share of R$46.00, totaling R$6.9 billion, and ceased to be a shareholder.

On October 28, 2021, the Board of Directors effectively authorized, the realization of investment for construction of a new pulp production mill with a nominal capacity of 2,550,000 (two million five hundred and fifty thousand) tons of eucalyptus pulp per year, to be located in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, known as Cerrado Project. The Company estimates that the new plant will start operating in the second semester of 2024. The Project Cerrado represents an important development in the Company's long-term strategy, contributing to the expansion of its structural competitiveness, meeting the growing demand for hardwood pulp, and to the Company's evolution in sustainability.

B.Business Overview

Industry

Pulp can be either recycled or virgin pulp. Recycled pulp is made from used materials, such as printing and writing papers, newsprint, packaging and other types of carton board, and then processed by chemicals in order to remove printing inks and other elements. Virgin pulp can be manufactured from a number of raw materials, such as wood, bagasse and bamboo, and it is classified based on the type of wood or fiber derived from the corresponding raw material as well as the processing system used and whether the pulp will be bleached. Bleached pulp is used for several purposes, including printing and writing, specialty, packaging paperboard and tissue papers. Unbleached pulp has a brown color and is used in the production of packages, corrugated board, paperboard, packaging papers, bags and tissue.

The most common raw material that we use to produce paper is wood pulp. Different tree species yield different fiber characteristics and, consequently, different paper attributes such as strength, softness and opacity.

29

There are two types of wood pulp: hardwood pulp and softwood pulp. Hardwood pulp is produced using hardwood trees, such as eucalyptus, aspen, birch, acacia, maple, oaks, beech trees and poplars, which have shorter fibers. Short fiber is generally best suited for the manufacture of products that require smoothness, brightness, uniformity an absorption properties, such as coated and uncoated printing and writing paper, tissue paper, specialty papers as image paper and décor laminate paper as well as packaging paperboard. Softwood pulp is produced using softwood trees (e.g. pine, spruce and fir) and is generally best suited for the manufacture of products that require greater durability and strength, such as kraftliner, newsprint, catalogues, boards, lightweight coated paper and tissue. However, paper producers may also substitute fibers used in the paper manufacturing process according to market availability by applying further processing, as refining mechanical treatment. The substitution depends on the raw materials and equipment available and the specifications of the final product. Pulp can be produced by integrated paper producers or by market pulp producers who sell the pulp to nonintegrated or semi-integrated paper producers. In 2020, approximately 40% of global pulp virgin fiber production was “market pulp” (Hawkins Wright – The Outlook for Market Pulp (August 2021)); that is, pulp sold by pulp mills and bought by paper mills. We produce pulp for our own paper production (integrated pulp) and to sell to other papermakers (market pulp). We produce only hardwood pulp from our renewable forests of planted eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus pulp is widely accepted among producers of printing and writing paper, specialty papers and tissue papers worldwide because of its properties and cash production cost, and it has represented an increasing percentage of the world production of hardwood pulp. Eucalyptus trees in Brazil have a shorter growth cycle than other hardwood trees (approximately seven years in Brazil) and higher yield per planted hectare.

Brazil’s competitive advantage is driven by the fact that Brazil has the fastest tree growth rates in the world and the highest productivity rate. Thus, we believe that we are among Brazilian pulp producers that have the lowest production cost in the global market.

The key drivers of global virgin pulp demand growth are packaging, tissue and special paper. These grades presented a production compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) from 2010 to 2020 of 2.2%, 3.5% and 1.3%.

Paper consumption in China has been the main driver of demand growth over the past years. According to PPPC, global demand for pulp (including softwood pulp and hardwood pulp) and for tissue is expected to continue increasing in the following years.

Our Company

With more than 90 years of experience, we operate mainly in the pulp (paper grade and fluff) and paper (paperboard, printing and writing and tissue) segments. We believe that we are one of the largest vertically integrated producers of pulp and paper in Latin America and, according to Hawkins Wright, we were the largest producer of eucalypt pulp in the world and virgin market pulp in the world in 2021. As other Brazilian eucalyptus pulp producers, we have the lowest cost of pulp production in the world. We believe our modern technology of plantation and harvesting and our strategic location for plantation facilities are among our competitive strengths.

We believe we are one of Brazil’s largest paper producers, and based on data from IBÁ, we accounted for nearly 42% of the printing and writing paper and 25% of the paperboard produced in Brazil in 2021.

Our structure includes administrative offices in Salvador and São Paulo, two integrated pulp and paper production facilities in the state of São Paulo (Suzano and Limeira units), a non-integrated paper production facility in the state of São Paulo (Rio Verde unit), an integrated pulp, paper and tissue facility in the state of Bahia (Mucuri unit), an integrated pulp and tissue facility in the state of Maranhão (Imperatriz unit), two paper facilities in the states of Pará and Ceará (Facepa), and FuturaGene, a biotechnology research and development unit. We own one of the largest distribution structures for paper and graphic products in South America. Following the Merger, we also own pulp production facilities in the state of Espírito Santo (Aracruz unit), in the state of São Paulo state (Jacareí Unit), one unit with two production lines in Três Lagoas (in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul) and 50% equity participation in Veracel together with Stora Enso, an industrial unit located in Eunápolis (in the state of Bahia).

Our eucalyptus pulp production satisfies 100% of our requirements for paper production, and we sell the remaining production as market pulp. As of December 31, 2021 our total eucalyptus pulp installed capacity was 11.9 million tons per year. The scale of our production capacity, the proximity of our planted forests to our mills and the integration of our pulp and paper production process allow us to benefit from substantial economies of scale and low production costs.

Our Limeira, Suzano, Rio Verde and Jacareí mills are located near the city of São Paulo, the largest consumer market in Brazil according to data from IBÁ and RISI. These mills are located approximately 90 km from the port of Santos, an important export hub, and approximately 190 km from our planted forests. They can supply both domestic and international markets in a competitive manner.

Our Mucuri and Aracruz units are focused primarily on export markets. Mucuri is located approximately 250 km from Portocel, a port specialized in exporting pulp located in the state of Espírito Santo, in which Suzano holds a 51% stake, while Aracruz is located only 3 km from Portocel.

The Imperatriz unit, in Maranhão, is also focused primarily on export markets. Its gateway for the external market is the Port of Itaqui, 600 km far from Imperatriz. Exports are carried from our mill to the ports by train, which allows for very competitive transportation costs.

The Três Lagoas unit, in Mato Grosso do Sul, is focused on export markets, and most of its volume is transported by train to the Port of Santos, where all exporting volumes are shipped. The relatively short distances between our planted forests, our mills and most of our Brazilian customers or export facilities provide us with relatively low transportation costs.

Pulp and Paper

We produce a variety of eucalyptus pulp and paper products, including pulp used in our paper production processes, as well as market pulp. We sell pulp to the Brazilian market and to the export market. We produce coated and uncoated printing and writing paper, paperboard, tissue paper, market pulp and fluff pulp. Within the printing and writing paper category, we produce products of different sizes and shapes, such as cut paper for general purposes (cut-size), folio size and reels. Our sales are not concentrated in any specific customer, in either the Brazilian or the export markets. For the year ended December 31, 2021, no single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of our consolidated net sales revenue.

34

Pulp and Paper Production Process

Our production process comprises the three main stages: (i) planting and harvesting forests; (ii) pulp manufacturing; and (iii) paper manufacturing. Consistent with our strategy of conducting our business in accordance with the highest environmental standards, we use plantation and harvesting techniques that are environmentally friendly and sustainable, such as minimum-impact cultivation and soil preparation techniques that avoid erosion, maintain soil fertility along generations and promote high levels of efficiency and productivity.

Planting and Harvesting Forests

The development of our planted forests starts in our nurseries, where we use the most modern cloning technology available, and in third-party nurseries that use our genetic materials. The saplings we produce in our nurseries are a variety of eucalyptus that increases the production of pulp and are well suited for the climate and other geographic aspects of the micro-regions in which they will be planted. A harvester is used to cut, de-limb and de-bark the trees, and to cut them into logs. Part of the bark and leaves of the harvested trees is left in the planted forests. A forwarder carries the logs to the edge of the planting area, where a loader loads the logs onto a truck for transportation to the mill.

The management of our forests is the base that sustains our business, based on the planting and management of renewable forests, targeting of a competitive supply of wood through long-term planning and development and application of genetic improvements. As of December 31, 2021, we owned or leased approximately 2.5 million hectares of land, of which approximately 1.3 million hectares were used for eucalyptus cultivation and 1 million for forestry reserves, ensuring compliance with Brazilian law that determines the percentage of area required for legal and permanent preservation reserves, located mainly along the rivers. Remaining 0.2 million hectares are related to other uses such as roads. Our production units are in compliance with or exceed environmental standards – both Brazilian and international – for the production of pulp and paper.

Given the high degree of integration between the production of pulp and paper, we have a low conversion cost of pulp to paper.

Several factors account for our competitive advantage with regard to the cost of wood for the production of pulp: favorable topographic, climate and soil conditions in the regions of Brazil where we operate; advanced genetic improvement and harvesting technology; low average distances between our planted forests and mills, which are among the shortest in the world; our clone selection system, which improves our forests’ yield and industrial performance, integrating our forestry and industrial activities; and our advanced techniques to maximize soil potential, such as mosaic plantation and minimum environmental impact cultivation techniques. Together, these factors enable us to enjoy: a high and increasing average volume of wood per planted hectare; a higher concentration of fibers per ton of harvested wood; the sustainable development of our operations; relatively low operating costs; and eucalyptus tree harvest rotations of approximately seven years, a period shorter than the harvest rotation periods in other regions of the world.

Pulp Manufacturing

The pulp manufacturing process takes place in two stages:

35

The “Kraft” Cooking Process. The logs received in our pulp mills are first de-barked, if not already de-barked in the field, and chipped in small pieces. The wood chips are screened by size and then transferred with conveyors to the impregnation stage followed by a pressurization and feeding system to the digester where they are “cooked” with sodium sulfide and caustic soda. This “kraft” cooking process is known for minimizing damage to the pulp fibers and allows the recovery of chemicals, thereby preserving high uniformity and strength of the fibers for subsequent paper production or other uses. During the cooking process, the cellulose fibers are separated from lignin and resins to produce unbleached pulp fibers. The unbleached pulp is screened and washed and then submitted to a pre-bleaching stage where oxygen delignification takes place. The Kraft cooking combined with the pre-bleaching removes approximately 95.0% of the lignin. At this point, the pulp can already be used to make certain types of paperboard like in one of the paper machines of the Suzano mill. Although not our main product, unbleached pulp grades can be commercialized or used for specialty of packaging papers or boards. The lignin and by-products of the Kraft process form a substance known as “black liquor” that are separated and piped to evaporators, to increase the concentration of solids. Thereafter, the concentrated black liquor is burned in recovery boilers. In the recovery boilers, the black liquor is the main source of fuel to produce steam and electricity for the whole production process. Also, approximately 99.0% of the chemicals used in the kraft cooking process are recovered for reuse in a closed chemical recovery process loop. Only make up chemicals are required to recover losses.

Bleaching. To produce bleached pulp the unbleached pulp is submitted to a chemical bleaching process. The bleaching process promotes further selective delignification and increases brightness of the fibers. This process consists of a series of medium-consistency bleaching stages in towers. In each bleaching tower a different mixture of bleaching agents is applied and after each stage, the pulp is washed. Three or four bleaching stages are required to obtain a fully bleached pulp. Our modern and low environmental impact bleaching processes are elemental chlorine free (ECF). The bleaching process is designed to be harmless and utilizes chlorine-dioxide, sulfuric acid, caustic soda and oxygen peroxide and does not use elemental chlorine. At the end of the bleaching stages, the diluted bleached pulp, in its fluid state, is pumped to storage towers. Thereafter, the bleached pulp may be transferred directly to integrated operations in our own paper production or tissue paper facilities. Suzano produces paper in the Mucuri, Suzano and Limeira mills and also supplies slushed pulp to integrated paper producing customers in Jacarei (Ahlstrom Munksjö) or Três Lagoas (International Paper). The tissue paper production takes place in the Mucurí and Imperatriz mills. The majority bleached pulp is though sold as raw material after drying in big capacity drying machines and converted to bales. In the Suzano mill we are also producing dried pulp in rolls for fluff applications.

Paper and Tissue Paper Manufacturing

We produce (i) uncoated woodfree printing and writing paper at our Mucuri unit, Limeira unit, Suzano unit and Rio Verde unit; (ii) coated woodfree printing and writing paper at our Suzano unit and Limeira unit; (iii) paperboard at our Suzano unit and (iv) tissue papers at Mucurí, Imperatriz and Belém. We start the paper production process by sending the pulp to refiners, which increases the fibers’ resistance. The pulp slurry is then fed into the paper mill, where it is mixed with fillers and additives to provide the necessary properties required by paper grade and the end users. These additives include synthetic sizing, precipitated calcium carbonate, optical dyes, and others. During the paper and paperboard production, the sheet is formed, pressed and dried in a continuous process. At the end of the process, jumbo rolls are obtained and then converted into reels, folio sheets or cut-size paper. In the case of coated paper, the paper receives additional surface treatments with coating and additional drying before converting to reels or sized papers. Tissue papers are produced in dedicated tissue machines, different from other paper machines and seek for other characteristics like softness, volume and absorbance. Tissue paper production requires very little additives and mechanical preparation of the fibers (refining). The produced tissue paper mother rolls can be converted on site, converted in dedicated conversion units or sold.

Computerized systems control or monitor all process stages. The marketing, sales and production, personnel work close together to manage the programming and control of our paper production process. In this manner, we are able to plan, optimize and customize different product runs and to anticipate, respond and adapt to seasonal variations and customer preferences.

36

Pulp and Paper Production Schedule

Our integrated pulp and paper mills operate three shifts, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, with the exception of scheduled maintenance periods. The dates of these maintenance periods are flexible and may be moved as a result of factors such as production, market conditions and supply of materials. We keep an inventory of certain spare parts that we consider critical to the production process or that are difficult to replace. We have also developed a close relationship with our suppliers to ensure access to spare parts.

Pulp Sales

Pulp Sales

In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we sold 10.6 million tons, 10.8 million tons and 9.4 million tons of pulp as market pulp respectively, of which 7.5%, 7.3% and 8.8% was sold in the Brazilian domestic market and 92.5%, 92.7% and 91.2% was sold in the export market.

Pulp Customers

In 2021, most of our sales were made under contracts to customers with whom we have a long-term relationship in the Brazilian and export markets. Most of our customers are tissue, printing and writing and specialty paper producers that value the high-quality pulp produced and the reliability of supply provided by us. The majority of deliveries to final customers during last year were made from our overseas terminals in the United States, Europe, – and direct shipments to Asia.

Prices may vary among the different geographic regions in which our customers are located. For a specific region, usually the price arrangements under our sales contracts are consistent with each customer profile, varying according to volume negotiated, regularity of purchase and our commercial strategy. Our sales contracts provide for early termination in the event of a material breach, insolvency of one of the parties or a force majeure event of an extended duration.

37

Our customers generally purchase its products using credit provided by us, which has a diversified customer base for its pulp products. We believe we have a good knowledge base to manage our credit risk portfolio through financial (letters of credit and insurance) and non-financial instruments (guarantees).

Paper Sales

We sell our paper products in Brazil and abroad. The markets we seek to serve are large and very competitive. Although price is very important in these markets, we believe that customers that have high-quality standards prefer our products due to the value and quality our paper imparts to their final products. This preference is shared among customers of all segments, from producers of notebooks and non-promotional materials, to more sophisticated customers, such as producers of promotional materials, high-quality packaging and art books.

Paper Customers

Our customers generally purchase our products using commercial credit provided by our company. We have a diversified customer base for our paper products. We believe we have a good knowledge base to manage our credit risk portfolio through financial (letters of credit and insurance) and non-financial (guarantees) instruments. Additionally, we believe that our strategy to diversify our portfolio of paper clients improves our credit risk performance due to lower correlation between large, medium, small and micro sized clients.

Seasonality

Forest products, such as pulp and paper products, are typically cyclical. Changes in inventories are usually important in price determination. Furthermore, paper demand depends largely on general economic conditions, since production capacity slowly adjusts to changes in demand. Therefore, we can expect seasonal changes in paper net revenues in Brazil depending on such factors. Changes in production capacity may also affect prices.

Similarly, the pulp industry seasonality pattern has been historically correlated with that of paper production. World paper production normally increases by the end of the summer vacations in the northern hemisphere, as well as during the Christmas and New Year holidays. In Brazil, specifically, paper demand increases in the second half of the year, mainly due to the production of notebooks and books for the beginning of a new school year, which begins in February, and governmental programs such as the National Didactic Book Program (Programa Nacional do Livro Didático).

Compared to the pulp market, the market for paper has a larger number of producers and consumers and greater product differentiation. Although the price of paper is cyclical and historically tied to the price of pulp, with a slight time difference, it is generally considered less volatile than the price of pulp. The main factors affecting the price of paper are economic activity, ability to expand production and fluctuation in exchange rates.

38

Due to specific factors, including pulp and paper machine closures, start-up of new capacities, changes in the cost structure of the industry and the increase of global pulp demand, the seasonality trends observed in the past for the pulp industry may be subject to changes in the future. Nevertheless, seasonality has not caused significant impacts on us over the last three years. For this reason, we do not measure the impacts of seasonality in our results.

Raw Materials

The main raw materials used in pulp and paper production are described below.

Wood

We use fibers from three primary sources for the production of our paper: (i) our pulp; (ii) recycled paper; and (iii) mechanical pulp. Recycled paper and mechanical pulp are used in the interior layers of certain types of paperboard. We use eucalyptus trees for the production of all of our pulp.

The management of our planted forests is a key resource for wood. For further information, see “—Business Overview—Our Company—Pulp and Paper—Planting and Harvesting Forests.”

Energy

Our primary source of energy, biomass (classified as an energy resource in the categories of forest energy biomass), is applied in our pulp and paper production processes and is generated by burning black liquor in the recovery boiler. See “—Pulp and Paper Production Process—Pulp.”

In addition to the black liquor, a fuel effluent inherent in the cellulose manufacturing process, a secondary source of energy, applied in our processes are bark, wood chips and waste, which are used as complementary fuels to meet the energy needs of the process, burned in auxiliary boilers.

In order to reduce own consumption and be self-sufficient in energy, a large part of the energy load is supplied by own generation, either through energy facilities within each plant, or by allocating energy from self-producing plants in another location to Suzano plants with energy deficits, thru CCEE (Brazilian Energy Clearing House).

At our units in Mucuri, Imperatriz, Três Lagoas and Veracel, we produce 100% of the energy consumed, mostly by means of renewable sources including wood waste reuse. This is possible because of the kraft chemical recovery process adopted in our mills, which allows us to recover chemicals used in the pulp production process and to use the wood residues from wood cooking to generate power. See “—Pulp Manufacturing—The “Kraft” Cooking Process.” At a later stage, the chemical recovery process is completed with quicklime that along with sodium sulphate and caustic soda form green liquor and white liquor, which is then reapplied to the wood cooking process with minimum make up. Therefore, our chemical recovery process allows us to generate power in an environmentally friendly manner.

Chemicals

A variety of chemicals, including sodium sulphate, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), sodium chlorate, chloride, hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, are utilized in the paper production process, mainly in the pulp production phase. In the production of coated paper, we use various additives, primarily kaolin, calcium carbonate, latex, starch, bleaches and binders. The chemicals used in the pulp production process are recovered and recycled within our pulp mills.

All chemical waste is treated in order to conform to the most current standards and practices of the pulp and paper industry worldwide. The chemicals used in the pulp and paper industry are commonly used in a variety of other industrial activities and do not present a uniquely hazardous threat. Notwithstanding this fact, we strictly adhere to all safety rules and regulations related to the transport, storage and production of chemical products. In addition, we maintain an insurance policy to cover liability in the event of an accident in the transportation, storage or production of chemical products.

39

Transportation

The cost of transportation of pulp and paper products to the consumer market is an important component of our competitiveness. In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, logistics costs accounted for 23.0% ,23.7% and 15.0% of our cost of goods sold and selling expenses, respectively.

Our scale of production, the proximity of planted forests to our pulp mills and planted forests in relation to our factories and the integration of the processes of pulp and paper production gives us substantial economies of scale and lower production costs. Suzano and Rio Verde units, in the state of São Paulo, are strategically located near our major customers for paper products and approximately 90 kilometers from the port of Santos and are located at an average distance of 190 kilometers from our planted forests. The Limeira unit also has these advantages. The Mucuri unit, which primarily services the external market, is strategically located at an average distance of 74 kilometers from our planted forests and is approximately 250 kilometers from Portocel, a port that specializes in the exportation of paper and pulp, and approximately 320 kilometers from the port of Vitória. The Imperatriz unit, in Maranhão, which also primarily services the external market, is located approximately 670 kilometers from the port of Itaquí, and the associated planted forests are located an average of 184 kilometers from the port. The proximity of our forests, factories, Brazilian clients and ports allows us to enjoy relatively low transportation costs, which, in turn, provides a competitive cost structure for exports.

In addition, the Brazilian market may take advantage of Jacareí mill’s proximity to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while the Aracruz mill has the one of the best logistics in the industry with a distance of approximately 3 kilometers to the Portocel port facility. The Tres Lagoas mill is located between two important railways in the southeast of Brazil, ensuring the cost competitiveness of this mill, although distance from the port is over 700 km.

Port Operations

The pulp produced for export is shipped on dedicated vessels or partial-service vessels by carriers hired through long-term or spot contracts to our terminals overseas and is then delivered to our customers.

We conduct operations in the port of Itaquí, (state of Maranhão), port of Santos (state of São Paulo) and port of Barra do Riacho (namely, Portocel - state of Espírito Santo).

Port of Itaqui

The port of Itaqui is located on the coast of the state of Maranhão. From this port, we exported in 2021 pulp produced at the Imperatriz mill, which is located approximately 670km away from the port of Itaquí. Since 2014 we operate warehouse within the port area to guarantee the continuity of its operations with Empresa Maranhense de Administraçao Portuária (“EMAP”), a public company held by the state government of Maranhão.

On July 27, 2018, we participated in a public auction conducted by ANTAQ for the concession of public areas and infrastructure for general cargo, especially pulp and paper in the port of Itaquí, for an initial period of 25 years. We were awarded the contract due to our proposal for Itaquí General Cargo Terminal (IQI 18), in the amount of R$0.1 million. In 2020, we hired the companies responsible for building a warehouse of 73,000 tons, with a construction deadline by 2022, and a berth, already concluded, to support long-term planning of Imperatriz mill at the port of Itaquí. In 2021, we concluded the construction of the berth in the port of Itaquí, which is the object of Itaquí General Cargo Terminal (IQI 18)’s contract. The berth will be managed by EMAP and we will have preferential berthing rights. The berth was first tested in February 5, 2022, and the warehouse’s operations are expected to start in the second semester of 2022.

Port of Santos

The port of Santos is located on the coast of the state of São Paulo. From this port, we export pulp produced at the Jacareí and Três Lagoas, which are located approximately 150, and 750 kilometers away from the port of Santos, respectively. Through a concession, we operate terminal 32 (T32) of the port of Santos.

40

We finished the operations in terminal 31 and terminals 13, 14 and15 due to the start of the operation at Vertere (DP World Santos), operated together with terminal 32 (T32).

Paper produced by us for exports is mainly shipped out of the port of Santos, which is located approximately 80 kilometers from the Suzano unit and about 250 km from the Limeira unit, where most of the paper production designated to export markets comes from. We also operate with containers at the port of Santos, mainly used in the paper and fluff business.

DP World Santos

On January 29, 2018, we contracted logistic operations services for transporting pulp, with a take-or-pay condition. These services are rendered by Empresa Brasileira de Terminais Portuários S.A. (Embraport), which has adopted the brand DP World Santos in its private use terminal (TUP) located at the left bank of the Santos estuary, in the state of São Paulo, where a logistic port installation dedicated to warehousing, handling and shipping pulp will be constructed. The total investment in 2021 was approximately R$758 million. DP World Santos is wholly owned by global trade enabler DP World, one of the largest container port operators in the world, recognized in the industry for its efficiency.

The port operations started since the construction of a new warehouse, two berths and other harbor-logistics structures was completed, and the licenses were released in April 2020. Throughout 2020 we started the operation following the curve of the volume of the ramp up, achieved the full capacity in 2021. The port services will be conducted by DP World Santos until 2039, which term may be extended to 2042 subject to the renewal of the port authorization, as applicable.

Portocel

The pulp produced for export at the Aracruz and Veracel pulp mills is shipped out of the port of Barra do Riacho (Portocel), which is located approximately 3 kilometers away from Aracruz, approximately 250 kilometers away from Mucuri and 260 nautical miles from Veracel’s barge terminal. We own 51% of Portocel, the company that operates the port terminal of Aracruz. The remaining 49% of Portocel is owned by Cenibra, another pulp manufacturer.

The Portocel is a modern facility that has the capacity to handle approximately 7.5 million metric tons of pulp and wood per year, from their owners and other players, and different type of material like aluminum, steel coils, granite and project cargo. Warehouse facilities at Portocel are capable of storing approximately 220,000 metric tons of pulp (static storage).

Marketing and Distribution

We have our own sales teams for our pulp and paper business units, which sell our products in both the Brazilian and international markets, to final consumer or distribution intermediaries. We sell our products in both the Brazilian and export markets. In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 83.6%, 83.7% and 79.6%, respectively, of our net sales revenue from market pulp and paper products was attributable to sales made outside of Brazil. Domestically in Brazil, we have a sales staff consisting of employees operating in various regions of Brazil.

Pulp

Our pulp business unit’s commercial strategy is based on three pillars: strong relationships, long-term partnerships and differentiated services. To ensure proximity with our national and international customers and to ensure that our products are tailored to their needs, we use a Brazilian sales team, which services Latin America, and local sales teams in the United States, Switzerland, Austria and China. In Brazil and in each of our international offices, we have technical assistance departments that focus on our customers’ needs, with the purpose of providing our customers with smart technical solutions for their transition from other types of fiber to eucalyptus fiber. We organize annual technical workshops, in Brazil and in each of the countries where we operate, to share with our customers and international offices our innovative initiatives, technical developments and market strategy.

41

Paper

In 2021, 70.1% of our paper sales were made to the Brazilian market. In order to better serve this market, we have divided it into six segments, designing different commercial and marketing strategies for each segment:

● Packaging: this is the main end use of our paperboard sales and involves production of packaging for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, tobacco, toys, clothing, shoes, food, beverage, hygiene, and cleaning industries;

● Advertising and Catalogs: this segment mainly involves coated paper sales and production of promotional flyers, catalogues, displays and signs;

● Books: this segment accounts for the production of books, magazines and newspapers and involves the sale of all of the paper types that we produce (coated, uncoated and paperboard);

● Notebooks: this segment involves the production of notebooks and diaries in both the local and export markets, and uses uncoated paper and paperboard;

● Mailing: this segment mainly involves the production of forms and invoices, which use uncoated paper;

● Copy Paper: this segment encompass office end uses and retail channel, which involves the commercialization of uncoated paper in cut-size format (e.g., letter and A4 sizes) in stationery stores and self-service businesses.

In order to serve the first five segments listed above, we combine different distribution channels: large paper volumes are sold directly to publishers and converters and small paper volumes are sold through publishing distributors. In the copy paper segment, sales are made indirectly, through paper distributors and directly through our call center and e-commerce.

We own distributors for our paper and graphic products, one in Brazil and one in Argentina, Stenfar S.A.I.C. Importadora y Exportadora and Stenfar. For Brazilian distribution, we rely on four regional distribution centers: two in São Paulo, one in Serra (Espírito Santo) and one in São José dos Pinhais (Paraná), as well as our local distribution centers, in the cities of Campinas and Ribeirão Preto (state of São Paulo), Belém (state of Pará), Brasília (federal district), Campo Grande (state of Mato Grosso do Sul), Londrina (state of Paraná), Fortaleza (State of Ceará), Goiânia (State of Goiás), Manaus (State of Amazonas), Porto Alegre (State of Rio Grande do Sul), Recife (state of Pernambuco), Rio de Janeiro (state of Rio de Janeiro), Salvador (state of Bahia) and Uberlândia (state of Minas Gerais).

Other than distributing our own line of paperboard and printing and writing paper, we also distribute other product lines to reach the graphics, editorial and consumer segments and to public agencies. Stenfar is a company-owned distributor of paper and computer supplies operating in Argentina through which we conduct such distribution operations. Stenfar has been operating for more than 58 years and has an important and active presence in the market. Stenfar has three subsidiaries in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Mar del Plata. Stenfar services the graphics, editorial and consumer segments and public agencies, working with printing and writing paper, paperboard and computer supplies. According to market estimates on paper and computer supplies distribution, we believe Stenfar is one of the largest distributors in its market in the area.

In addition to providing our customers a more complete portfolio of services and products, our distribution operations in Brazil and Stenfar’s distribution operations in Argentina reinforce our commitment to strengthen our distribution channels, enlarging our network and directly benefiting our clients through greater proximity and agility in serving them.

In addition to our own lines of paperboard and writing and printing paper, we also distribute other product lines, for the graphics, publishing, consumer, converter and government entities segments.

42

Competition

The pulp industry is highly competitive. The top 20 producers currently supply approximately 74.0% of the global virgin market pulp capacity according to Hawkins Wright. We face substantial competition from numerous producers of paper and hardwood market pulp, including major Brazilian producers, such as Bracell, Eldorado, CMPC and Celulose Nipo Brasileira S.A. (Cenibra). Many factors influence competitive position, including mill efficiency and operating rates and the availability, quality and cost of wood, energy, water, chemicals, logistics and labor, and exchange rate fluctuations. Latin American pulp producers have structural cost advantages over other global competitors, mainly in North America and Europe, due to their shorter harvest periods and higher land productivity, which is only partially offset by geographical distance from the end markets. Many of our Latin America competitors enjoy cost advantages similar to ours, including low production costs, and have access to similar sources of funding to finance their expansion projects.

The international pulp and paper markets are highly competitive and involve a large number of producers worldwide. As a vertically integrated pulp and paper producer, we compete not only with other vertically integrated pulp and paper producers, but also with companies that produce only pulp or paper. Many of these producers have greater financial resources than we do and enjoy lower financing costs. However, as the largest producer of eucalypt pulp and virgin market pulp in the world in 2021, according to Hawkins Wright, we maintain our competitive advantage by keeping production costs low, maintaining long-term contracts with our customers and vertically integrating our operations.

Environmental Matters

General

We are committed to produce pulp and paper with a minimum of waste production and with the lowest impact on natural resources and the environment. Our continuing goal is to avoid and mitigate adverse impacts on the environment by controlling our emissions into the air and water, preserving biodiversity and by fully complying with Brazilian environmental regulations and recognized international environmental standards.

Our industrial units are ISO 14001 certified, which attests our environmental management system, where our Mucuri unit was the first in the pulp and paper sector globally to obtain this certification in 1996. We also have received other certifications, including ISO 9001 and ISO 45001.

Our forests units are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (“FSC”) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (“PEFC”), which attests that our forest management is environmentally correct and socially just. The FSC seal, created by different multisector international organizations, has strong international recognition and it is also labeled in several of our products and our clients’ products. We operate, therefore, under strict compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

Aiming for positive environmental impacts, we promote the conservation of biodiversity and eco-efficiency of our operations, optimizing the use of our resources and applying the best environmental management practices, as defined by FSC, on an ongoing basis, such as:

● Conserving ecosystems and their biodiversity;

● Using renewable and non-renewable natural resources in a rational manner;

● Promoting responsible use of water, minimizing the impacts of operations on local water resources and safeguarding the natural water cycle in forests;

● Focusing on prevention and control of atmospheric emissions (NOx, SOx, TRS, greenhouse gases and particulate matter) and of effluents (COD and AOX);

● Promoting the concept of the 4R's (rethink, reduce, reuse and/or recycle), aiming at less disposal of solid waste in own and/or third party landfills;

43

● Optimizing energy performance, seeking maintenance of the low carbon energy matrix, as further explained below under “ - Climate Change”;

● Stimulating climate change mitigation and adaptation actions;

● Respecting rights, social and cultural values of indigenous peoples, traditional and local communities, as well as the people involved in operations of forest management;

● Complying with the environmental legal framework, including binding international agreements and voluntary commitments pertinent to our operations, such as Ecolabels. 

We reinforce our commitment to establish plantations exclusively in areas previously anthropized by other uses whose conversion has not occurred under our responsibility, committing to a zero-deforestation policy.

Our environmental commitments are supported and monitored by relevant organizations and coalitions. We also maintain a strong partnership with recognized forums and organizations to discuss and share knowledge on sustainability issues. Some examples are the UN Global Compact, Climate, Forest and Agriculture Brazilian Coalition, the Alliance for the restoration of the Amazon, One Trillion Trees (1t.org); the World Wildlife Fund / New Generation Plantation, The Brazilian Forest Dialogue, Brazilian Tree Industry (IBÁ), the Brazilian Corporate Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS) and the GHG Protocol Brazil.

Furthermore, we also have a strong commitment to community service and participate in and fund a variety of projects, including projects supported by Instituto Ecofuturo, a non-governmental organization that we have created and sponsor, whose purpose is to generate and share knowledge and practices that contribute to creating a culture of sustainability.

Water

After the disclosure of our Long- Term Goals – MLPs in February 2020, we deployed the goal of reducing specific water withdrawal by 15% by 2030, linked to SDG 12 – sustainable consumption and production, for each industrial mill and governance has been integrated into our management routine.

Considering the expected curve until 2030, we defined the annual and monthly targets for each mill. The results of each mill in relation to the intermediate targets are monitored monthly in a meeting with the Executive Officer of Pulp Operations, together with representatives of all mills, integrating them with the governance of safety, production, quality and cost indicators.

Taking into consideration our governance model, the industrial directors, industrial managers and executives monitor the indicators of each mill weekly. Any deviations are treated according to the management tools adopted in our Operational Excellence model.

The results are disclosed to all of our employees at the monthly results meetings of each mill, engaging people in relation to the topic.

At the Units, the targets were stratified by consumer sector and sector performance is monitored at routine Production Meetings.

Our total water withdrawal in 2021 is in line with the volume reported by us in 2020. The Company’s performance is in track with our Long Term Goal to reduce the specific water withdrawal by 15% by 2030.

To this end, we implemented actions in all mills aimed at optimizing the use of water, which include the replacement of equipment to generate more water efficiency and the use of recovered water in machines.

44

In 2021, we mapped out best practices with respect to water use in our units and other market participants. As a result, we improved our water use management and governance practices. These actions contributed to the reduction of specific water withdrawal in 2021. As an example to reinforce the governance priority of the topic, we defined targets linked to variable remuneration to the Chief Operating Officer, Industrial Officers and lower positions.

In 2021, we also approved the implementation of a new pulp production unit to be installed in Ribas do Rio Pardo, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, with a production capacity of 2.55 million tons of pulp per year and which will start operating in the first quarter of 2024. The Company adopts the best available technologies (BAT) as a premise for this mill, which will use the best technologies available for pulp production, according IPPC (Integrated Pollution, Prevention and Control 2015 - European Commission) and IFC (International Finance Corporation – World Bank) references, including the optimization of the use of water resources, use of acidic soil corrective, and the production of energy with organic waste.

Solid Waste and Wastewater

Waste management is present in our processes and operations, both industrial and forestry. The treatment of effluents in all industrial units is carried out in our own Effluent Treatment Plants and includes primary (physical) and secondary (biological) treatment, a stage in which oxygen and nutrients are added and the pH is controlled. At Limeira, Jacareí, Três Lagoas and Maranhão Mills, the activated sludge technology is used for secondary treatment, while aerated lagoons are used at the Suzano and Aracruz Mills. The Mucuri Mill has used both technologies. The biological sludge generated at the effluent treatment plants has been treated in different eco-efficient ways, such as composting plants at the Limeira Mill, drying and burning at the Jacareí, Imperatriz and Três Lagoas Mills.

In addition to complying with the applicable rules on solid waste, our mills have a waste management plan and operational procedures. Waste management includes daily monitoring and forums focused on reducing solid waste generation, increased recycling and internal reuse and reduction of shipment to landfills. The mills also receive internal and external audits.

In 2020 we had announced a very challenging goal of reducing 70% of waste sent to landfill by 2030. In 2021, we reduced the total volume of industrial solid waste sent to landfills to 20.8 kg/t, which represents a reduction of 75.8% compared to our target baseline (44.3 kg/t - 2018).

In 2021, our units in Limeira, Jacareí and Rio Verde achieved the important milestone of not sending waste to landfills. In addition, in 2021 our waste treatment center at Imperatriz began its operations. In September 2021, we started a pilot process in the Mucuri Mill to compost 54% of the waste sent to landfill.

Biodiversity

We are engaged in carrying out and developing sustainable forestry operations. We are committed to a strict zero deforestation policy and adoption of best forest management practices, as defined by FSC. Therefore, our eucalyptus plantations are established exclusively in areas previously anthropized by other uses, such as cattle grazing, and co-exist interleaved with areas destined for biodiversity conservation - the mosaic landscapes approach, favoring the connection of native fragments and the establishment of ecological corridor.  Our forest management practices follow all the legislation, standards and commitments undertaken, being certified by international widely recognized standards, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) / Brazilian Forest Certification Program (CERFLOR), both auditable certification schemes.

We maintain and protect approximately 1 million hectares of native vegetation, which corresponds to 40% of our total area. In this natural preserved territory, since the nineties, Suzano conducts periodic biodiversity monitoring, species of fauna and flora. To increase the protection and monitoring of biodiversity, we voluntarily identified areas considered global or nationally important for biodiversity conservation, defined as High Conservation Value Areas (HCVA) and Private Natural Heritage Reserves (IUCN Category IV).

45

Additionally, aware of the different levels of fragmentation that the biomes in which we operate faces – which is one of the main threats to the biodiversity loss in Brazil and in the world –, through a collaborative process, in 2021 we launched a long-term commitment to conserve the biodiversity. The scope of the target considered our representativeness extent and territorial influence, focusing on the priority areas for the biodiversity conservation in Brazil, going beyond our properties. We have committed to “connect half a million hectares of priority areas for the conservation of biodiversity in the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanah), Atlantic Forest and Amazon” by 2030, measuring yearly the connected fragments (in hectares) and other benefits, such as the creation of a network of protected areas; the conservation of key species; business models creation that generate shared value and biodiverse production; biodiversity impact drivers’ relief from anthropic pressures, among others.

Climate Change

With one of the largest forest bases in the world, we understand our role in fighting climate change. Together, native forests and eucalyptus plantations contribute directly to removing and storing CO₂ from the atmosphere. Therefore, we are committed to doing more than neutralizing direct and indirect emissions from our value chain. Our purpose is to remove significant additional amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, thus mitigating the effects of the global climate crisis. Theses climate ambitions are among our sustainability long-term goals:

● Removing 40 million tons of CO₂ equivalent from 2020 to 2025; and

● Reducing the intensity of carbon emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by ton of product produced (tCO₂eq/t) by 15% by 2030.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the sustainability strategy, including climate change aspects, supported by the Sustainability Committee. In 2021, part of the managing directors’ variable compensation was linked to sustainability goals, with the CEO and three directors committed to climate-related targets.

Climate change and its potential effects are considered one of our priority risks at a corporate level. In this sense, it has its own structured system for assessment, treatment (i.e. response to risk), monitoring and reporting. The Risk Management area monitors the evolution and mitigation of priority risks through the definition of action plans and controls, with report to the Board at least once a year. Additionally, the risk management process also includes specific approaches at the operational level. One example is the modeling of climate change scenarios and monitoring of indicators for the technical research, development and innovation (“R&D&I”) team. These data are used to calibrate harvest and planting planning models and to review the assessment of co-related climate risks to define new specific action plans, when necessary.

We reuse biomass and wood residues from the production process to generate a significant portion of its energy requirements. Approximately 86% of the entire operation and energetic matrix (that involver forest, industry, logistic, etc.) comes from renewable fuels (such as black liquor and biomass), and the remaining 14% from non-renewable resources (such as natural gas and fuel oil). We are self-sufficient in the Mucuri, Imperatriz and Três Lagoas units in terms of energy needs and some mills are even selling surplus energy back to the grid. In 2021, 1,514,449.09 MWh of renewable electric energy were supplied to the public grid from these units.

Externally, we strengthen our dialogue and partnership with governments, companies, NGOs, associations and academia by actively participating in forums and working groups. In 2021, it outlined a broad engagement strategy in COP 26, the United Nations Climate Conference. Our main objective was to engage the business sector and influence positive climate policies, such as carbon markets, and support the COP26 High-Level Champions to drive the carbon neutral and even carbon positive agenda.

In 2021, we joined Business Ambition for 1.5°C and the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi), a movement that seeks to promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and resulting global transition to a low-carbon economy. By joining, we are also taking part in the Race to Zero campaign, a coalition supported by the United Nations that brings together leaders committed to working towards a healthy, resilient recovery, with the objective of stimulating the decarbonization of the world economy. In 2021, we joined the Climate Action 100+ initiative, led by investors to ensure that the largest corporate emitters of greenhouse gases take the necessary measures on climate change, and started to incorporate the Assessing Low-Carbon Transition (ACT) initiative to the Pulp and Paper Sector.

Sustainability Strategy

Sustainability is an essential part of our strategy and governance practices. Our board of directors has formal responsibility for overseeing sustainability aspects, the Committee is composed of board members and independent members, with diverse backgrounds and meets three times a year.

In our business, we make innovation and sustainability go hand in hand to transform renewable raw material from trees into innovative and sustainable bioproducts for billions of consumers in over 100 countries. We strive to be an agent of change and develop solutions to address the greatest challenges of our society. Combining our energy efficient operations, eucalyptus farms and conservation areas, we are a carbon negative company contributing to tackle climate change, while improving the lives of the communities where we are present.

In 2021, we announced a commitment to reach the goal of removing 40 million tons of CO₂e from the atmosphere, in 2025, instead of the original target year of 2030. We seek seeking to play a leading role in the transformation expected by society in face of climate change. The short-term variable remuneration of all the executive board is linked to at least one ESG related target and 100% of people in leadership positions have a goal related to diversity and inclusion also linked to the performance targets.

In 2021, we raised US$3.1 billion through Sustainability-Linked Bonds and Sustainability-Linked Loan operations, which entailed targets for carbon emissions, water consumption in industry and gender diversity.. As of December 31, 2021, 39% of our total debt was linked to ESG, including our 2.500% Notes due 2028, our 3.750% Notes due 2031 and 3.125% Notes due 2032 and our Sustainability-Linked Loan.

Our non-financial information is reported annually and audited by an independent third party. The Sustainability Annual Report and Indicator’s Center adheres to the main sustainability reporting frameworks, such as Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards guidelines for disclosure. Further information is available at our Investor Relations website (www.suzano.com.br/ir).

Brazilian Environmental Regulation

The Brazilian federal constitution assigns to the Brazilian federal government, the states, the federal district and the municipalities the authority to enact laws and issue regulations regarding environmental protection and preservation of Brazilian fauna and flora, as well as the power to enforce such laws. States can only enact laws and issue regulations to supplement federal law, exerting full legislative power only in the absence of federal regulations. The municipalities have authority to enact laws and issue regulations only with respect to matters of local interest or to supplement federal and state laws.

The Brazilian environmental policy establishes that activities (i) considered actually or potentially polluting; (ii) that use natural resources; or (iii) that, in any manner, may result in environmental degradation, are subject to prior environmental licensing. This procedure is necessary both for the initial installation or expansion of any facility that meets any of those characteristics. The environmental licensing process generally follows three consecutive stages: preliminary license, installation license and operating license.

Regarding licensing procedures, municipalities have the jurisdiction to license facilities that only have a local environmental impact, pursuant to definitions issued by the State Environmental Council. The Brazilian federal government is responsible for the environmental licensing of projects and activities: (i) within the Brazilian inland borders; (ii) located in the Brazilian territorial sea, continental platform or exclusive economic zone (which term is defined under Brazilian law); (iii) located in indigenous lands; (iv) located in national parks or other federal conservation areas; (v) between two or more Brazilian states; (vi) of military nature; (vii) regarding radioactive material and/or nuclear power; (viii) of national interest, as defined in the Executive Order No. 8,437/ 2015. Finally, the states are responsible for the environmental licensing of all the other activities located within their borders.

47

The preparation of an environmental impact study and its corresponding environmental impact report, or EIA/RIMA, is required for purposes of licensing activities with significant environmental impact. In any such event, the company is required to pay a compensation fee for negative environmental impacts caused by the relevant project. This fee can amount to up to 0.5% of the total cost of the project. Since most of our main activities began before the enacting of the law that established the environmental compensation fee, we were not required to pay such compensation in those cases (projects performed before the year 2000). However, the activities started after the enactment of the National System of Conservation Units – SNUC’s law are subject to the obligation to pay environmental compensation. Therefore, new projects may require additional investments to compensate for the environmental impact.

We have licenses for the operation of our plants, which are generally valid for five years from date of issuance and may be renewed for additional five-year periods. The operating permits require, among other things, that we periodically report our compliance with environmental laws, regulations and standards. With regard to our plans, we are currently either (i) in compliance with all operating and environmental licenses or (ii) in the process of renewing these licenses.

Our forestry activities are regulated by the Brazilian federal government and the state governments of the states of São Paulo, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul, Piauí, Tocantins and Maranhão. The planting and harvesting of trees can only be done in accordance with a project previously approved by the state agencies, except for the States of São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, where a forestry license is not required. Furthermore, in observance of the new Forestry Code (Federal Law n. 12,651/2012), we must keep at least 20% of our rural landholdings covered with native forests or replanted with native plant species as a legal reserve (reserva legal). Legal reserves must be registered with a new registry system named the Rural Environmental Registration (CAR – Cadastro Ambiental Rural). In such system, the land owners shall provide information on all the environmentally protected areas to the supervisory agency. However, this restriction increases to 35% in the Cerrado biome and up to 80% in the Amazon forest biome. Also, according to federal law, native vegetation from areas along rivers and other water bodies as well as steep slopes and hilltops are to be treated as permanent preservation areas, which are essential to the conservation of water resources, scenery, animal, human and plant health, biodiversity and soil in the area. Our forestry operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. See “─Environmental Matters.”

Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, effluent discharges, solid waste, odor and reforestation. In Brazil, individuals or legal entities that violate environmental laws can be punished by criminal sanctions that range from fines, imprisonment and confinement, in the case of individuals, to fines, restriction orders or dissolution, in the case of legal entities. In addition, administrative sanctions that can be imposed include, among others:

● fines that may reach up to R$10 million if operating without a license and R$50 million in the case of severe environmental damages;

● partial or total suspension of activities;

● forfeiture or restriction of tax incentives or benefits; and

● forfeiture or suspension of participation in credit lines with official credit establishments.

In addition to criminal and administrative sanctions, pursuant to Brazilian environmental laws, the violator must also provide compensation and reimbursement for the damage that was caused to the environment and third parties. At the civil level, there is joint and strict liability for environmental damages. This means that the obligation to compensate for the damage caused to the environment may affect each and every individual or legal entity directly or indirectly involved, regardless of the existence of actual fault by the agents involved. Therefore, the engagement of third parties to carry out any intervention in our operations, such as the final disposal of waste, does not exempt the contracting party from eventual damages to the environment caused by the contractor. In addition, environmental laws provide for the possibility of piercing the corporate veil, in relation to the controlling shareholder, whenever such corporate veil is an obstacle for the reimbursement of damages caused to the environment.

Using advanced technology, our operations comply with all applicable Brazilian laws and regulations, and we believe that we also meet all recognized international standards determined by institutions and agreements to which we or Brazil are signatories. In the past five years, we have not received any administrative penalties or warnings that might be considered relevant or material fines that might be considered relevant in respect of violations of Brazil’s environmental laws or policies.

48

Insurance

We believe that we maintain adequate insurance coverage for our facilities with respect to our operational and commercial risks. Consistent with industry norms and practice in Brazil, we do not maintain insurance coverage for fire and other risks to our planted forests. Nonetheless, we adopt a series of measures, such as, maintenance of a firefighting brigade and keeping the lanes between our production units of eucalyptus trees unobstructed, which historically has significantly prevented the spread of fires. We use the amounts we would otherwise pay as premiums for fire insurance to implement preventive and safety measures, such as installing fire towers and fire control equipment and training firefighting personnel. It is our policy to maintain insurance coverage for our inventory of wood.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Eucalyptus Planted Forests

General

One of our greatest strengths is that it is a fully integrated low-cost producer of pulp and paper. That is due, in part, to the low cost of cultivating and processing eucalyptus trees compared to other species. As shown in the illustration below, the short growth cycle of our eucalyptus trees — seven years — presents a significant competitive advantage in relation to the costs associated with other fibers. For more information about our low wood costs, see “—Raw Materials—Wood.”

Our planted forests along with those of our partners are concentrated in the south of the State of Bahia, in the state of Espírito Santo, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the state of São Paulo, in the east of the state of Minas Gerais, in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul, in the states of Tocantins, Pará and in southwest of the state of Maranhão, and in north and east of the state of Maranhão and Piauí.

The table and chart below set forth the location and capacity of our planted eucalyptus forests as of December 31, 2021:

Assisted Growth

For new plantings, we use both seeds and clones selected for their characteristics, such as height and diameter, productivity per hectare, lack of branches below the crown, suitability to local soil and climate conditions, and resistance to disease. Saplings grown from selected seeds and clones are initially cultivated inside climate-controlled greenhouses for 30 days. These saplings are then transferred to outdoor nurseries, where they are allowed to grow for another 70 to 90 days, after which they are moved to be planted.

We conduct research specific to each of our growing regions, utilizing general concepts of plant physiology and genetics. In the future, our productivity may increase through cloned hybrid cuttings or selected seeds. The research program also continues to seek ways to improve the uniformity of wood quality and maintain ecological balance by studying the soil, plant nutrition and pest control.

Harvesting

Eucalyptus trees are harvested by our employees and by independent contractors through an automated system and, in some cases, manually. Logs are generally transported to our pulp mills as needed and we store small amounts of logs at all of our production facilities. Logs to be used in our production facilities in São Paulo are currently stored in the forests for an average of two to five months to allow them to dry before transportation. In Bahia, logs are transferred to the mill 40 days after harvesting.

51

Plant Locations and Capacity

We produce pulp and paper products from ten facilities consisting of: (i) two integrated pulp and paper production facilities in the state of São Paulo (the Suzano and Limeira units) including fluff production, (ii) a non-integrated paper production facility in the state of São Paulo (the Rio Verde unit), and a Market Pulp production in the state of São Paulo (Jacareí unit), (iii) an integrated pulp, paper and tissue facility in the state of Bahia (the Mucuri unit), (iv) an integrated pulp and tissue facility in the state of Maranhão (the Imperatriz unit), (v) a market pulp production in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Três Lagoas unit), (vi) a market pulp production in the state of Espírito Santo (Aracruz unit) and (vii) two non-integrated tissue paper (Facepa) production in the states of Pará and Ceará (Belém unit and Fortaleza unit).

ITEM 4. A. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion of our financial condition and operating results should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2021, and the accompanying notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, as well as with the information presented under “Presentation of Financial and Other Data” and “Item 3. Key Information — A. Selected Financial Data.”

52

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements for several reasons, including, without limitation, the risks described in “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 3. “Key Information – Risk Factors.”

Overview

With more than 90 years of experience, we operate mainly in the pulp (paper grade and fluff) and paper (paperboard, printing and writing and tissue) segments. We believe that we are one of the largest vertically integrated producers of pulp and paper in Latin America and, according to Hawkins Wright, Suzano was the largest producer of eucalypt pulp and virgin market pulp in the world in 2021. As other Brazilian eucalyptus pulp producers, we have the lowest cost of pulp production in the world. We believe our modern technology of plantation and harvesting and our strategic location for plantation facilities are among our competitive strengths.

We believe we are one of Brazil’s largest paper producers, and based on data from IBÁ, we accounted for nearly 42% of the printing and writing paper and 25% of the paperboard produced in Brazil in 2021.

With the advent of the pandemic of COVID-19, popularly known as coronavirus, Suzano has adopted and has maintained preventive and mitigating measures, in compliance with rules and policies established by national and international health authorities, in order to minimize, the harmful effects of the pandemic, referring to the safety of people, society and their businesses.

Our initiatives are based on three pillars:

(i)Protection for people: in order to provide security to its employees and third parties workers on site, Suzano adopted a series of measures to minimize exposure of its team and / or mitigate exposure risks.

(ii)Protection of society: one of Suzano's three cultural drivers is: “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Suzano has adopted a series of measures to protect society, including:

● Donation of toilet paper, napkins and disposable diapers produced by the Company for needy regions.

● Acquisition of 159 respirators and 1,000,000 hospital masks for donation to the Federal and State Governments.

● Participation in joint action with Positivo Tecnologia, Klabin, Flextronics and Embraer, to support the Brazilian company Magnamed, in the production of respirators to deliver to the Federal Government. Suzano's disbursement in this action was R$9,584 in 2020.

● Construction of a field hospital in Teixeira de Freitas (BA) in conjunction with Veracel, which has already been handed over to the state government and opened in July 2020.

● Establishment a partnership with Fatec of Capão Bonito for the production of gel alcohol.

● Loan of forklifts to move donations received by the Red Cross.

● Maintenance of all direct jobs.

● Maintenance, for 90 days (until the end of June 2020) of payment of 100% of the cost of the payroll of service providers' workers who had their activities suspended due to the pandemic, aiming at the consequent preservation of jobs.

● Creation of a support program for small suppliers, a social support program for small farmers to sell their products through the home delivery system in 38 communities supported by Suzano's Rural and Territorial Development Program (“PDRT”) in 5 states and social program with the objective of provide 125,000 masks in communities for donation in 5 states.

53

● Launch a program to support its portfolio of small and medium-sized paper customers entitled “Tamo Junto” with the objective of ensuring that these companies have the financial and management capacity to resume activities.

● Support for the State Government of Maranhão in setting up the Imperatriz Temporary Hospital, donating R$2,798.

● Provision of 280,000 cubic meters of oxygen to the State of Amazonas.

● Construction of a new treatment center for COVID-19 in São Paulo, in partnership with Gerdau, BTG Pactual, Península Participações and through joint efforts with Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein and the Municipal Government of São Paulo.

● Donation of oxygen concentrators acquired in a joint action involving Suzano, Bradesco, BRF, B3, Embraer, Gerdau, Ultra Group, Itaú Unibanco, Magazine Luiza, Marfrig, Natura&Co and Unipar, which were delivered to the Ministry of Health, who will be responsible to carry out the logistics for the distribution of concentrators.

● Donation of 85,782 cubic meters of oxygen to Imperatriz in the State of Maranhão and 1,300 cubic meters to Aracruz in the State of Espírito Santo.

● Joint efforts to accelerate the Brazilian vaccination program through participation in the group “Unidos pela Vacina” with the donation of cold rooms and thermal boxes, to municipalities in Bahia and Espírito Santo.

● Donation of basic food baskets and personal protective equipaments kits (masks, sanitizer, aprons, caps and gloves).

The disbursements made for carrying out the social actions implemented by Suzano, totaled R$25,285 through December 31, 2021.

(iii)Protection for business: to date, we have continued with our normal operations and a crisis management committee has been implemented.

The paper and pulp sector were recognized by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as by several countries, as a producer of goods essential to society. Therefore, in order to fulfill the responsibility arising from the essentiality of the business, Suzano has taken measures to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been advancing its inventories of finished goods product bringing them closer to their customers to mitigate possible risks of disruption in the factories' supply chain and the sale of their products.

The current situation resulting from the COVID-19 also implies a higher credit risk, especially for its customers in the paper business. Thus, the Company has also been monitoring the evolution of this risk and implementing measures to mitigate it, and so far, there has been no significant financial impact.

As previously disclosed during the year 2020, the Company temporarily stopped production for 30 days on April 27, 2020 and May 1, 2020 on the paper production lines of the Mucuri and Rio Verde industrial units, respectively, however, the activities of the factories were resumed at normal level at the beginning of July 2020 and have been maintained until now.

Finally, it is worth noting that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made and maintained a vast communication effort to its main stakeholders, ensuring transparency and adequate flow of information about dynamics of the social and economic conjuncture.

54

We have activated our crisis management team to guarantee coordinated actions for risk mitigation and for contingency and business continuity plans. To date, our operations in Brazil and abroad have not been materially impacted. Nevertheless, given the operational risks arising from the health conditions of our own and third-party employees, as well as the potential legal restrictions that might be imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot assure that our operations and financial condition will not be impacted. For information on how the outbreak of the COVID-19 may affect our operations and financial results, see “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors — The outbreak of communicable diseases worldwide, such as the current coronavirus (COVID-19), may lead to increased volatility in the global capital markets, impacting the trading market for the securities issued by us.”

Foreign Currency Impact in Our Operations

As a predominantly exporting company, our results are exposed to exchange variations. As such, fluctuations in the exchange rate, especially with regards to the U.S. dollars, may impact our operating results. We issue debt securities in the international markets as an important part of the capital structure that is also exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate. The mitigation of these risks comes from our own exports, which creates a natural hedge. Furthermore, we employ U.S. dollar sales, in futures markets, including strategies with options, as a way to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of our income. The sales in future markets are limited to a percent of the currency over the 18-month horizon and, as such, are dependent on the availability of exchange ready for sale in the short-term.

Pulp Segment

The final quarter of the year witnessed strong global demand for pulp. In Europe and North America, demand for pulp was driven by solid performance by the paper segments. Tissue paper consumption followed the trend of recovery seen in 3Q21. The P&W industry remained buoyant on account of lower supply, since the ongoing global logistics crisis restricted imports, followed by an economic recovery by the demand. In China, after energy restrictions that affected the industry in September and October, paper production recovered, which, combined with the usual restocking ahead of the Chinese New Year and this year the Beijing Winter Olympics, reflected the recovery in prices since late November.

On the supply side, the increase in production resulting from new pulp projects, although below expectations, combined with the slowdown of the Chinese economy, had a negative effect on the price during the first half of the quarter. However, a scenario of unscheduled downtimes associated with even more challenging logistics chain contributed to a price recovery from the end of November. In Europe, the balance between supply and demand remained stable during the quarter. In this scenario, the PIX/FOEX indices for hardwood pulp decreased 13% in the Chinese market but remained stable at record-high levels in Europe compared to the previous quarter.

Moreover, the elevated gap between softwood and hardwood pulp prices continued, which encouraged the substitution of fibers. According to PIX/FOEX, the difference between softwood and hardwood pulp prices at the end of the year was US$120/t in Europe and US$179/t in China.

During 2021 the demand in all regions were supported by solid performance by paper segment. Although Tissue production was impacted by inventories adjustments the end user consumption remained healthy. For P&W the growth was sustained in all woodfree segments, that are furnish mainly by virgin pulp and for packaging the rebound of economy after COVID lockdown worldwide and the movement of plastic substation boosted the segment growth. However, the final pulp demand was impacted by consumer inventories movements, largely in China.

On the supply side the scenario of unscheduled downtimes that withdraw more than 1,7Mt of pulp from the market associated with still challenging logistics chain more than offset the increase of production due to new pulp projects, that were also below the previous expectations.

Our sales volume in 2021 decreased 2%, from 10.8 million tons in 2020 to 10.5 million tons in 2021. Net revenue from pulp sales totaled R$34,715.21 million in 2021 (an increase of 35.7% compared to 2020) due to higher pulp prices. The share of pulp revenue from exports was 93%, while the domestic market accounted for 7%. With regard to distribution for end use, 63% of pulp sales went to sanitary paper production, 17% to printing and writing paper, 13% to special papers and 7% to packaging.

55

The average net pulp selling price was US$639/ton in 2021 (an increase of 40% compared to 2020), while average net price in reais stood at R$3,448/ton (an increase of 46% compared to 2020).

Paper Segment

According to the IBÁ, domestic sales of printing and writing paper and paperboard increased 18% in 2021 compared to 2020, while imports decreased 4%.

This increase in domestic sales was led by the recover in demand for printing and writing papers and the continued strong performance of paperboard due to economic recovery. Paper sales increased to 1.3 million tons in 2021, compared to 1.2 million tons in 2020.

In 2021, our net revenue from paper sales totaled R$6,250 million, a 28% increase from 2020. Net revenue from domestic and exportations increased 30.4% and 22.7%, respectively, with 70.1% coming from domestic sales and 29.9% from exportations. The geographic breakdown of our total revenue from paper sales in 2021 was 86.5% in Latin America (including Brazil), 6.8% in North America and 6.7% in other regions.

The average net paper price in 2021 was R$4.829/ton, 16% higher than in 2020. In the domestic market, the average net paper price was R$4.746/ton, a 13% increase compared to 2020. In the international market, average price was US$933/ton, a 18% increase compared to 2020. In Brazilian real, the average price in the international market was R$5.035/ton, 24% higher than in 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We participate in a number of off-balance sheet arrangements, mainly related to guarantees and take or pay contracts. We also have a number of swap transactions as described in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” All of these transactions are further described elsewhere in this annual report. See notes 4 and 24 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared to year ended December 31, 2020

Our net sales revenue increased 34.5%, or R$10,505.1 million, from R$30,460.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$40,965.4 million in the corresponding period in 2021, mainly due to (i) 33% increase in pulp prices in U.S. dollars, (ii) 11% increase in paper prices in U.S. dollars, and (iii) depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in total sales volume when compared to the volume in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Our net sales revenue from pulp increased 35.7%, or R$9,136.9 million, from R$25,578.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$34,715.2 million in the corresponding period in 2021, mainly due to (i) 33% increase in pulp prices in U.S. dollars, and (ii) depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a 2.2% decrease in pulp sales volume when compared to the volume in the year ended December 31, 2020. Our net sales revenue from pulp represented 84.0% of total net sales revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 84.7% in the corresponding period in 2021.

Our net sales revenue from pulp exports increased 35.1%, or R$8,407.6 million in 2021, from R$23,968.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$32,376.4 million in the corresponding period in 2021, mainly due to (i) 32% increase in pulp exports prices in U.S. dollars, and (ii) depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a 2.5% decrease in pulp exports sales volume when compared to the volume in the year ended December 31, 2020. Net revenues from pulp exports represented 79.0% of total net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our average international net sales price of pulp in the year ended December 31, 2021 increased 32%, or US$150/ton, from US$463/ton in the year ended December 31, 2020 to US$613/ton in the corresponding period in 2021. In the domestic market, our average net pulp sales price increased 43.5%, or R$890/ton, from R$2,046/ton in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$2,936/ton in the corresponding period in 2021.

Our net sales revenue from paper increased 28.0%, or R$1,368.2 million, from R$4,882.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$6,250.2 million in the corresponding period in 2021. Net sales revenue from paper represented 16.0% of total net sales in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 15.3% in the corresponding period in 2021. The increase in net sales revenue from paper in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 is due to a combination of higher prices and higher sales volume. Net revenues from paper exports represented 4.6% of total net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2021. Our net sales revenue from paper in the domestic market increased 30.4%, or R$1.022.4 million, from R$3,358.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$4,380.6 million in the corresponding period in 2021, impacted mainly by sales price increase.

The average international net paper sales price in 2020 increased 18%, or US$146/ton, from US$787/ton in the year ended December 31, 2019 to US$933/ton in the corresponding period in 2020.

Cost of sales

Our total cost of sales increased 8.7%, or R$1,649.3 million, from R$18,966.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$20,615.6 million in the corresponding period in 2021, mainly due to (i) inflation pressure on variable industrial cost and logistics cost, (ii) an increase of R$215.2 in depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iii) depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Gross profit

Our gross profit increased 77.0%, or R$8,855.9 million, from R$11,493.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$20,349.8 million in the corresponding period in 2021, due to the factors mentioned above. Our gross margin in the year ended December 31, 2020 was 37.7% compared to 49.7% in the corresponding period in 2021. This increase is mainly due to increase in sales price and depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar benefiting net revenues.

58

Selling, general and administrative

Our selling expenses increased 5.4%, or R$117.1 million, from R$2,174.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$2,291.7 million in the corresponding period in 2021. The main variation is due to (i) the impact of the depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar on logistics cost, (ii) inflation pressure on logistics cost, (iii) an increase of R$38.5 million in depreciation and amortization, and (iv) an increase of R$14.0 million in personnel expenses in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Our general and administrative expenses increased 9.3%, or R$134.7 million, from R$1,443.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to R$1,577.9 million in the corresponding period in 2021. The variation is due to (i) an increase of R$122.2 million in personnel expenses, and (ii) an increase of R$25.6 million in depreciation, amortization and depletion in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Other, net

Our other operating income (expenses), increased R$1,116.9 million, from a gain of R$531.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to a gain of R$1,648.1 million in the corresponding period in 2021. The increase is mainly due to: (i) an increase of R$441.9 million of gain related to the exclusion of ICMS on PIS/COFINS calculation, (ii) an increase of R$405.5 million on the sale and disposal of property plant and equipment and biological assets, and (iii) an increase in the amount of R$296.6 million in the result on fair value adjustment of biological assets.

Operating profit before net financial income (expenses)

Our operating profit before net financial income (expense) increased 115.3%, or R$9,736.8 million, from a profit of R$8,443.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to a profit of R$18,180.2 million in the corresponding period in 2021, due to the facts mentioned above. Our operating margin in the year ended December 31, 20120 was 27.7% compared to 44.4% in the corresponding period in 2021. This increase is mainly due to increase in sales price and depreciation of the average real against the U.S. dollar benefiting net revenues.

Net financial income (expenses)

Our net financial income (expenses) increased 64.2% or R$16,738.3 million, from a loss of R$26,085.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a loss of R$9,347.2 million in the corresponding period in 2021. This increase was largely due to (i) an increase in expenses (income) from monetary and exchange rate variation, net of R$8,730.1 million, and (ii) an increase in expenses (income) from derivative financial instruments of R$7,825.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 as described in note 27 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Net income (loss) before taxes

Our net income (loss) before taxes increased 150.1% or R$26,475.1 million, from a loss of R$17,642.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to a gain of R$8,833.0 million in the same period in 2021. This result was largely impacted by the factors mentioned above.

Income taxes

Our income taxes decreased 102.8% or R$7,124.6 million, from an income tax gain of R$6,927.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to an income tax loss of R$197.4 million during the corresponding period in 2021. This decrease was largely due to the fact that in the year ended December 31, 2021 there was a profit before income taxes compared to a loss before income taxes in the same period of 2020. The decrease in the effective rate of income and social contribution tax expenses from 39.3% in the year ended December 31, 2020 to 2.2% in the corresponding period in 2021 is mainly due to the increase of the tax effect on permanent differences in the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020, as follows (i) an increase of R$2,071.4 million on Taxation (difference) on profit of wholly-owned subsidiaries abroad; (ii) an increase of R$71.7 million on intercompany transaction (Thin Capitalization – for further details, please refer to Financial Statements – note 12.2).

59

Net income (loss) for the year

Our net income increased 180.6% or R$19,350.4 million, from a loss of R$10,714.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2020 to a net gain of R$8,635.5 million during the corresponding period in 2021. This result was mainly due to the factors mentioned above.

B.           Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Funds

Our cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities is affected by various factors. The key factors that affect our cash flow from operations are (i) the volume of product sold and the market price of pulp, (ii) the exchange rate between reais and U.S. dollars and (iii) the cost of our raw materials. Investing activities are mainly affected by (i) our capital expenditure program and (ii) our decision to divest some of our assets, such as fixed assets and biological assets. Finally, our cash flow from financing activities is directly related to the level of new debt we have incurred and on the repayment of existing debt.

In our opinion, we believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows from operating and financing activities and short-term and long-term borrowings.

Our material cash requirements have historically included the following:

● working capital;

● debt service; and

● capital expenditures.

Long-term borrowings have generally been used to finance our major capital expenditure projects and have historically been sourced principally by either export prepayment contracts under which we, or one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, borrow funds by offering the guarantee of export contracts, issuance of Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (“CRA”), or capital expenditures acquisition financing programs offered by BNDES. The scheduled maturities of these long-term loans have been structured to match the expected cash flow from the conclusion of the related capital expenditure projects and, as a result, reduce the risk of any significant deterioration of our liquidity position. We also rely on bonds or notes issued in the international markets either by wholly-owned subsidiaries, mainly domiciled in other countries.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were R$13,590.8 million and R$6,835.1 million, respectively. Of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held as of December 31, 2020, 1%% was denominated in reais invested in both public and private financial investments. The remaining 99% of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was denominated in U.S. dollars.

We also have access to two RCF (Revolving Credit Facilities) in the total amount of US$ 1,275.0 million. US$100.0 million is available until February 2024 and US$1,175.0 million until February 2027.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments represented a net liability balance of R$6,452.4 million as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, our balance sheet presented a positive working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities) of R$22,551.7 million compared to R$9,785.2 million on December 31, 2020. Our current assets as of December 31, 2021 were equivalent to 3.0 times our current liabilities.

For 2022, we have already announced to the market, as approved by our Board of Directors, the intention to invest R$5.0 billion as maintenance capex (for further information please see “– Capital Expenditures” below). This will primarily be financed by the cash and cash equivalents and cash generation for 2022.

60

For the year of 2022, we also believe that we will be able to access either capital or banking markets, if necessary.

With respect to long term capital needs, we use a model of ten years to monitor our needs in a series of scenarios and variables, including currency exchange rates and commodity prices, with the intention to preserve the liquidity and improve the capital structure. In this context, we work to anticipate exercises of liability management to improve liquidity or if conditions are favorable.

All of our future liquidity conditions rely on a series of scenarios and may be adversely affected depending on market and other conditions. Actual liquidity may differ significantly for several reasons, including, without limitation, the risks described in “Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 3. “Key Information – Risk Factors.”

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities totaled R$17,637.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net cash provided in operating activities of R$13,124.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase of R$4,512.9 million was primarily due to higher operating cash generation.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities totaled R$10,358.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net cash used in investing activities of R$736.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021 investing activities for which our used cash primarily consisted of (i) R$2,150.6 million used in additions to property, plant and equipment, (ii) R$3,807.6 million used in additions to biological assets and (iii) cash invested in marketable securities net in the amount of R$5,216.9 million.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities used net cash of R$1,573.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net cash used in financing activities of R$9,785.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, our principal sources of financing were (i) R$16,992.0 million in loans and financing and debentures, which mainly consisted of R$7,615.0 in Senior Notes (bonds) and R$8,481.8 million in export pre-payment transactions (EPP). During the year ended December 31, 2021, our principal uses of financing included (i) repayment of R$15,469.4 million of loans, financing and debentures, (ii) payment of R$1,921.3 million of derivative transactions.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures (capital expenditures incurred – cash basis) totaled R$6,342.4 million (without projects from ICMS credits in the State of Espírito Santo ES) in the year ended December 31, 2021, R$4,225.0 million in the in the year ended December 31, 2020. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the amount of R$4,651.5 million was allocated to industrial and forestry maintenance. Investments in projects related to structural competitiveness and adjacent businesses projects amounted to R$941.6 million and were allocated mainly to the expansion in port logistics, expansion and modernizations projects. Other investments amounted to R$749.2 million, were allocated mainly in Cerrado Project.

The approved budget of our capital expenditures for 2022, amounting to R$13,616.1 million (without projects from ICMS credit ES), encompasses remaining investments in projects previously disclosed to the market, such as investment in port logistics assets and potential new investments in lands and forests that may increase our future competitiveness and maintain options for the future growth of our business. The increase compared to 2021 is largely due to greater investment in the Cerrado Project, considering industrial investments, forestry, infrastructure and logistics, in line with the estimate disclosed by the Company on a Material Fact.

Research and Development

Our R&D&I efforts are organized under a Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. This initiative aims to increase synergy between areas, accelerating innovation that generates gains throughout the entire value chain. The integration is extended to all of our industrial and forestry areas in close collaboration with production, marketing and sales personnel.

Our technology and innovation facilities are spread to meet the demands and particularities of all of our mills and forest units. The technology centers, where there are the main assets and laboratories, are located in:

● Aracruz – state of Espírito Santo, Brazil – where efforts are towards the main business – pulp and forest development;

● Itapetininga – state of São Paulo, Brazil –biotechnology activities of Suzano and FuturaGene with a focus on later stage development;

● Jacareí – state of São Paulo, Brazil – dedicated to work on activities related to our Eucalyptus Breeding Program;

● Limeira – state of São Paulo, Brazil – focused on biorefinery and paper developments;

● Burnaby – Canada – dedicated to biorefinery research; and

● Rehovoth – Israel – where concentrates developments of Futuragene’s early to mid-stage biotechnology R&D.

In addition to the main technology centers, R&D&I is also present in all forest units: São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Espírito Santo, Bahia, and Maranhão. The efforts in R&D&I are conducted not only within our research facilities, but also in partnership with various universities, suppliers and private research institutes in Brazil and abroad.

By attempting to improve our processes to develop innovative and higher quality products in a sustainable way, our research and development activities are mainly directed at increasing forestry productivity, reducing the operational costs and optimizing industrial processes, making our production more efficient and developing new products through (i) forest management with optimization of natural resources and costs; (ii) robust eucalyptus breeding program; (iii) improving the use of eucalyptus fiber in the manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard; (iv) developing new applications for eucalyptus fiber including nanomaterials; and (v) developing a eucalyptus bio refinery to obtain renewable base chemicals.

In regard the forest technology and innovation, our efforts are targeted to eucalyptus breeding, biotechnology, forest management, soil nutrition and forest protection. Our goal is to continue improving our planted forest productivity and quality in a sustainable manner. Based on this purpose, our research group is developing new eucalyptus clones based on growth, cellulose content and wood quality, by making use of state-of-the-art techniques like genetic recombination through controlled pollination, to explore all the germplasm´s diversity genomic tools for the selection of new clones, extensive field evaluation and laboratory analysis.

In 2020, our Forestry Breeding and Digital teams developed a system named Tetrys aiming to allocate eucalyptus clones in a more precise manner by the operational team and to optimize MAIcel (adt/ha.year) in all our operational plantation areas. In 2021, Tetrys was extensively used, as the main tool by the Breeding team, to elaborate the annual plantation program. The clone recommendation allowed an optimization in MAIcel (adt/ha.year) of 2.5%, while reducing the exposure to potential risks and maintaining the sustainability of our breeding program.

Other important results:

(i) Eucalyptus Breeding Strategy and Advanced tools: In 2021, the new breeding strategy was deployed, which combined the use of new synthetic populations, high precision experimental designs and genomic tools (molecular markers and predictive models), that allowed the selection of new top performing clones to be extensively tested in larger scale specifically in forest unit of MS. New breeding populations and field trials were planted in other breeding units to speed

65

up the clonal selection using this new strategy. This will guarantee the sustainability of our breeding program and business for the years to come, while accelerating the development of new clones and the formation of next generation breeding populations via molecular assisted breeding.

(ii) System for Genomic Data Management: Suzano´s breeding program has dramatically increased the generation of genomic data, both in volume and complexity. Therefore, a user-friendly solution (system) for proper data storage, management and processing was developed through a joint partnership involving a startup company, AgroPartners Consulting, and a technological institution, SENAI/CIMATEC. This project was co-sponsored by EMBRAPII, SEBRAE and Suzano.

(iii) Corymbia is a forestry genus known for its high tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses, and a high wood density. The forestry sector is exploring this genetic material as another alternative by generating high vigor hybrids among different species with commercial potential. In 2021, an industrial test was performed in Aracruz mill and results showed a significant increase in wood density and a lower specific wood consumption compared to Eucalyptus, demonstrating its high potential for pulp production. Based on this important finding, the breeding team has structured new breeding populations to exploit Corymbia´s genetic variability and select new potential clones, while more advanced potential clones are being propagated for further advanced testing and potential commercial use.

Biotechnology. We invest in innovation in biotechnology through our subsidiary FuturaGene, which aims at increasing the productivity of eucalyptus plantations in a sustainable manner, increasing wood quality, insect and disease resistance and resilience. FuturaGene develops biotechnology solutions to improve plantation productivity by enhancing and protecting yield thus optimizing natural resource use efficiency. The aim of FuturaGene’s yield enhancement program is to produce wood using less land, therefore making land available for other uses such as for food production or biodiversity conservation. The yield protection program aims to lower chemical inputs and to enhance the resistance of trees to pests, diseases and the effects of climate change. The wood modification program also aims to produce feedstocks that reduce energy demand and lower chemical load in our mills.

FuturaGene’s first yield enhanced genetically modified eucalyptus variety that produces more wood when compared to conventional clones, was approved for commercial use in Brazil in 2015. This variety has been crossed with leading eucalyptus parent varieties from our different operating forest geographies and the derivative varieties are being extensively tested in these different geographies, prior to commercialization. The potential future use of such high yield trees will form part of the solution to meet increasing global wood demand, which is expected to triple by 2050, whilst minimizing the need to irreversibly extract wood from natural forests, thus helping to mitigate the impact of forest destruction on climate change. Modified trees such as this variety may play a significant role in climate alleviation by enhancing carbo drawdown.

FuturaGene has made significant advances in its yield protection platform, which is focused on tackling threats to plant productivity, such as new pests and disease infestations that are increasing in amplitude as a result of climate change.

In 2021, FuturaGene received regulatory approval in Brazil for its first herbicide tolerant eucalyptus variety, which will allow more efficient weed control with lowered chemical load and improved worker conditions

In developing advanced traits for plantation forestry, FuturaGene utilizes a panoply of technologies including genetic modification, RNA interference (RNAi) and various state-of-the-art gene editing technologies, inter alia. In 2021, FuturaGene secured a research license for CRIPR -Cas 9 gene editing technology from a multi-party group of companies and universities. These tools present a powerful armamentarium for selecting, identifying and modulating genes of interest.

In parallel, FuturaGene has been actively developing and enhancing its capabilities in bioinformatics and genomics. These tools both facilitate and guide FuturaGene’s work in biotechnology and are increasingly providing immediate assistance to our breeders for validating their genetic materials and guiding their breeding programs. The increased availability of genetic markers developed in these programs is expected to significantly reduce the development time for new conventional varieties for commercial deployment as well as to prevent the planting of new susceptible tree varieties, which can be pre-tested for disease and pest sensitivity. The first markers developed in this program are being introduced into Suzano forest operations.

We remain open to share the technologies and tools developed by FuturaGene through business relationships or at no additional cost to its partner small growers in Brazil. In addition, FuturaGene has already provided technology on a royalty-free basis

66

for the development of improved subsistence crops for food-insecure regions by academic partners. Furthermore, the gene editing license secured by FuturaGene contains provisions which allow FuturaGene to provide enhanced trees derived from this this technology, royalty free to smallholder farmers in Brazil.

Besides efforts in genetic field, we have sought innovations to ensure greater efficiency in forest management processes, aiming at greater productivity per planted area and cash cost reduction, while seeking to reduce the use of natural resources in this type of operations.

To achieve greater production sustainability, in 2021, we applied data science and machine learning technics to produce the reclassification of our entire forest base. Based on environmental parameters and climate risk this new classification, it will be possible to generate management recommendations, better matching clone on site, with important gains for productivity and optimization in the use of resources. These deliveries also provided crucial tools to assist managers in making strategic repositioning decisions for the forest base.

The topic of climate change is complex and strategic for us. We are diligent in deepening our understanding of how climate change affects our industries, Eucalyptus productivity, and areas under assessment for both expansion and demobilization. Climate change is one of the main risks to Suzano assets identified according to the Enterprise Risk Management methodology. From the point of view of forestry technology, after a comprehensive review of the theme, a technological roadmap was prepared with actions to quantify the risk and impacts on forest productivity, with a focus on actions to form resilient forests and reposition the forest base.

In addition to the advances mentioned in 2021, the following work fronts stand out in particular:

(i) In 2021, we elaborated risk analysis using climate projections from many world institutes of meteorology and most recent warming scenarios (CMIP6) released by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). The productivity impact analysis was performed by using the 3-PG model (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2020.117989), a well-established and recognized tool scientifically calibrated to our environmental and forest conditions to understand the effects of Climate Change on productivity of Suzano's forests.

(ii) Water resources – The risk of water availability is one of the highest priority issues. In order to advance our processes and improve the notion that water should be harmoniously shared with other users, we defined a long-term goal to implement a set of water management actions in critical watersheds, seeking to increase water availability in these locations. In 2021, we performed the management of 4500 ha of forests within critical watersheds and achieved our KPI. We have also improved to use medium and high-resolution satellites to measure the forests use of water, and to define the amount of available water in the critical watersheds. Seedling Protection Collar – In 2021, with challenging water scenarios, after some operational trials (scale), we innovated with the use of the Seedling Protection Collar in planting irrigation. An effective means of optimizing the irrigation of plantations with organic residues generated in the pulp mill - Suzano's patent.With this initiative we reduced the consumption of water used on the irrigation process, only in the Maranhão Forest Unit, in addition to the optimization of resources. This technology has the potential to reduce even more the water consumption at Suzano of water at Suzano, consolidating in practice the concept of innovativeness.

(iii) Biological pest control – A pioneer in the use of biological control techniques, we are one of the companies that most invests in this subject. In 2021, we broke the annual record for releasing natural enemies. These achievements were made possible by the strong partnership with the Silviculture team, the training of teams, the unification of activities to meet Suzano's demands in an integrated way and the inauguration and consolidation of two new laboratories - one in Três Lagoas (MS) and another in Cidelândia (MA) - destined for the production of natural enemies.

(iv) The coppice (regrowth) management – It is the main alternative to reduce the costs of forest formation, but in order to generate productive forests, a lot of technology is needed in the entire process. Started in 2020, and during 2021, we consolidated the model for selecting areas with greater potential, based on technical premises and a system that uses digital tools to model the future productivities of plantation and coppice; we designed the quality control of the forest in two phases; and we innovated with the anticipation of pruning of unwanted shoots, which produces forests with higher quality and productive potential, in addition to providing fertilization recommendations for more than 600 thousand hectares for all management regimes.

Our main business, pulp production, was in the center of efforts during 2021. The Fiber to Fiber Project was initiated aiming to provide the market with pulp products to meet our current market demands and reach out to new segments that are currently not on our portfolio. Our R&D&I team was responsible of develop bleached eucalyptus pulp with differentiated properties for the packaging market – in partnership with the Pulp Business Team strengthen the relationship with customers and collaborate to replace other fibers by Suzano’s Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft Pulp (BEKP) and differentiated BEKP.

We also advanced in the development of unbleached grades targeting markets that are looking for sustainable solutions not requiring the bleaching process of the pulp. We developed grades that are premium designed for tissue application and a stronger grade for packaging application.

To support the achievement of Suzano’s Long Term Goals, the Pulp R&D&I Team increased the research effort in technologies to repurpose industrial residues. Trials with research institutes, start-ups and potential partners were held in 2021 and will continue in 2022.

2021 was a landmark for Suzano’s bioestrategy. During 2021 we had the startup of the MFC pilot plant in Finland. This plant is producing MFC for the Spinnova textile production. Also during 2021 we started the engineering project Suzano Finland MFC production scale up – the project has start-up expected for the beginning of 2023.The R&D&I team is also following up the Woodspin scale up – the joint venture between Suzano and Spinnova that will start up late 2022 to produce textile fibers from Suzano’s eucalyptus forest.

We have evolved technology maturity of other materials we are developing. For example, in 2021 we had the release of the partnership with Grupo O Boticário, a well-established and benchmarking Brazilian cosmetic company. Together, Suzano and Grupo O Boticário are developing a sunscreen for black skin with lignin as ingredient. Lignin provides an antioxidant property besides improving the coverage of the skin.

Strong and robust transformation in the Paper & Packaging, Fluff and Consumer Goods businesses. Strategic alliances with key focus on sustainability, delivered innovative projects and created new business opportunities meeting customer and society needs.

During 2021, 6 new products launched can be highlighted by the Paper & Packaging R&D team:

● Kraftliner: paper used for manufacture external layers of cardboard sheets.

● Bluecup Bio: paper for cups with heat-sealable, biodegradable, recyclable and compostable waterproofing, which has been developed to replace the plastic present in Blue Cup PE.

● Bluecup 295g/m²: paper with layer of coating bringing high quality of printing for manufacture of cups and bowls for cinemas, fast foods and events.

● Cutsize Report wrap (500 sheets): as part of the strategy of replacing plastic with paper, it has been developed a new wrap without plastic application.

● Polen Natural: paper used for editorial market and developed from semi-bleached fiber, which allows the process to consume less chemicals.

● Flexible Packages: a 100% recycle paper used as external packaging of sanitary pad.

Following the Printing & Writing demand reduction, we are advancing in development of Flexible Packaging projects, focusing on plastic reduction and offering based on improvement of physical-mechanical properties of the base paper and applying recyclable and biodegradable barriers on the surface of the paper.

Development on barrier properties (resistance to water, grease, water vapor, oxygen transmission and heat sealable) continues and advances have been made, validating not only the machinability of the products and performance at convertors and brand-owners

68

but also meeting standards established by regulatory agencies. During 2021 we performed several laboratory, pilot and industrial tests to validate our technology and solutions.

We also have worked on product´s development (bag, wrap and internal & external layers of cardboard sheets) that use recyclable fibers from our operations, which contributes to the sustainability of production cycle.

The Consumer Goods R&D team focused 2021 on keeping the high-quality standards of our products launched (toilet paper Mimmo 3ply, Mimmo personal care wet wipes and Scala plus kitchen towel), maintaining their performance among the best consumer goods products in the Brazilian market.

The Fluff R&D strategy for 2021 was to expand Eucafluff presence in the hygiene products market. In order to obtain higher acceptance among possible clients and expand Eucafluff market share in fluff pulp, the team focused the research efforts on technologies to differentiate the Eucafluff quality. The biggest challenge is to expand the application on 100% Eucafluff absorbent panels. With that goal in mind, we initialized an Open Innovation process, through 3 different approaches:

● Hackathon: we invited students from 35 different universities and research centers around the world to join us in finding new technological routs that can help us to achieve a more efficient 100% Eucafluff panel;

● Direct partnership with universities: we received project proposals and determined the best one to carry on during 2022.

Partnership with a specialized company in open innovation process to bring Suzano in contact with a different network, in order to select the best projects or technological routs to be evaluated.

Audit Committee

In 2011, the CVM approved an Instruction (No. 509/2011) governing the comitê de auditoria estatutário (statutory audit committee), an audit committee established under the bylaws of the issuer and subject to certain requirements under the CVM rules. Effective January 2018, the B3 listing rules for its Novo Mercado segment require that a company listed on the Novo Mercado (such as ours) create and implement an audit committee in accordance with the CVM rules. The Novo Mercado segment of B3 is a premium listing segment for Brazilian companies that meet the highest standards of corporate governance. For further information on the Novo Mercado listing segment, see Item 9. “The Offer and Listing–Markets–São Paulo Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Standards.”

On April 1, 2019, our shareholders approved an amendment to our bylaws requiring us to establish a statutory audit committee in accordance with CVM Instruction No. 509/2011. Our statutory audit committee is an advisory committee of our board of directors, and provides assistance in matters involving our accounting, internal controls, financial reporting and compliance. Our statutory audit committee also recommends the appointment of our independent auditors to our board of directors and evaluates the effectiveness of our internal financial and legal compliance controls. According to CVM Instruction No. 509/2011, our statutory audit committee must have at least three members, and not more than five members, which must be independent in accordance with the independence requirements of the CVM and at least one of whom must have recognized experience in corporate accounting. Additionally, CVM Instruction No. 509/2011 and the B3 Novo Mercado listing rules both require that at least one member of the audit committee be a board member, but they permit the appointment of other members who are not members of the board of directors provided such other members meet the independence requirements of the CVM. Our bylaws expressly require that our statutory audit committee consist of one or more persons who are members of our board of directors and one or more persons who are not members of our board of directors.

Our statutory audit committee is not equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee. Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), which provides for an exemption under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding the audit committees of listed companies, a foreign private issuer is not required to have an audit committee equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee if the foreign private issuer has a body established and selected pursuant to home country legal or listing provisions expressly requiring or permitting such a body, and if the body meets the requirements that (i) it be separate from the full board, (ii) its members not be elected by management, (iii) no executive officer be a member of the body, and (iv) home country legal or listing provisions set forth standards for the independence of the members of the body. We believe that our statutory audit committee complies with these requirements, and we rely on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3(c)(3) under the Exchange Act. The following table sets forth the name, position, date of appointment and term expiration for each of the members of our audit committee:

Name	Position	Date of Election	Term Expiration
Ana Paula Pessoa	Chairperson	May 12, 2021	2023
Carlos Biedermann	Financial Expert	May 12, 2021	2023
Marcelo Moses de Oliveira Lyrio	Member	May 12, 2021	2023

B.Compensation

Aggregate compensation for the members of our board of directors and our executive officers is determined annually at our shareholders’ meeting, in accordance with our bylaws.

Our shareholders’ meeting held on April 25, 2022 approved the global compensation for the members of our board of directors, fiscal council and board of executive officers for the fiscal year of 2022 in the amount of up to R$150 million.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the aggregate compensation of all of our directors, officers and members of our fiscal council was R$ 109.8 million, R$133.7 million and R$93.2 million, respectively, which includes bonuses in the aggregate amount of R$ 13.0 million, R$10.7 million and R$6.7 million, respectively. In addition, for 2021, 2020 and 2019 we paid an aggregate of R$ 0.530 million, R$0.522 million and R$0.516 million into our pension plan on behalf of our directors.

Information on elements of compensation for the year ended December 31, 2021 is detailed in the table below (the percentages reflect the percentage of total remuneration represented by the category)

			Board of
			Executive
	Board of		Officers		Fiscal
Elements of Remuneration	Directors		(Statutory)		Council
Fixed Remuneration	83.02	%	25.6	%	83.3	%
Benefits	0.1	%	1.0	%	—	%
Social Contribution	16.6	%	5.4	%	16.7	%
Variable Remuneration	—	%	15.5	%	—	%
Long Term Incentive Plan	—	%	53.3	%	—	%
TOTAL	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

In addition to receiving a fixed salary, our entire board of executive officers participate in a profit- sharing program based on the achievement of certain personal and corporate goals. We also provide the following benefits, among others, to certain members of our board of directors and our entire board of executive officers: life insurance, health care plans, dental care, meal vouchers, transport, payroll loans and private pension plans. In addition to the benefits, we offer our management team long-term incentive programs. A quick overview of such programs follows below.

Phantom Shares Plan

Our phantom shares plan is settled in cash and based on the market price of our shares. We grant the phantom shares in addition to the salaries of beneficiaries. The phantom shares vest within three years of working at Suzano and, after such period they can be redeemed by the beneficiary at an exercise price corresponding to a given percentage over the average market price of our shares at closing in the 90 trading days prior to the exercise date.

Phantom shares are granted to the eligible beneficiaries in accordance with general conditions established in specific regulations managed by the (non-statutory) people committee, under the guidelines and conditions defined thereby. Every year, the people committee establishes the corporate performance indicators (condition for acquisition) which, if achieved, entitle beneficiaries to receive phantom shares.

Annually, if certain performance targets are met, our main executives and certain non-executive employees who are beneficiaries are granted “phantom shares” in an amount determined by dividing the number of salaries paid and the arithmetic mean of the closing prices of our shares in the last 90 trading sessions. The number of salaries paid is determined based on (i) the achievement of targets; and (ii) the discretionary quantities attributed by the people committee with regard to the level of achievement of the corporate indicators.

After they are granted, the phantom shares may be redeemed in cash by the beneficiaries provided they fulfill the stipulated vesting period (3 years at the Company).

78

Share Appreciation Rights Plan

We make available to certain of our executives and employees a Share Appreciation Rights Plan, under which the payment, in cash, is linked to the price of our shares and, for a group of executives, is also linked to the performance of our shares in relation to our competitors. The difference between this plan and the phantom shares plan is the fact that there is a minimum appreciation requirement for vesting.

The options have an exercise price (or minimum level of share appreciation) that represents the average of the last 90 trading days prior to the grant date. The plan is composed of one tranche with a vesting period ending three years after the grant and maturing six months after the end of the vesting period. After 5 years, the options are exercised automatically.

The beneficiary is invited to participate in the plan. The acceptance by the beneficiary requires the investment of an amount equivalent to 5% of the grant at the date of the grant, and 20% at the end of the vesting period, which must be deposited in our bank account.

The beneficiary’s gain varies depending on the performance of our shares and may vary up to 25% more depending of the relative performance of our shares and the competing shares (TSR – Total Shareholder Return).  This percentage is calculated based on our performance for the relevant period in comparison with our competitors’ performance and may vary between 75% and 125%.

Maximum, Minimum and Average Individual Remuneration of our Board of Directors, Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council

		Number of	Highest	Lowest	Average
	Number of	Remunerated	Remuneration	Remuneration	Remuneration
Year 2021	Members	Members	(in reais)	(in reais)	(in reais)

Fiscal Council	3.00	3.00	352,800.00	352,800.00	352,800.00

Note on Calculations:

● The average annual remuneration of each body was calculated by dividing the total amount of annual compensation (fixed, variable and indirect benefits, including social contribution) for each body by the number of remunerated members in the respective body.

● The lowest annual individual remuneration (fixed, variable and indirect benefits, including social contribution) of each body excludes all members of the respective body who have held the position for less than 12 months.

● The highest annual individual remuneration (fixed, variable and indirect benefits, including social contribution) of each body makes no exclusions, considering all remuneration received by the respective member for functions exercised in the last 12 months.

Employee compensation policies

Policy on salaries and variable compensation

The Company ensures a competitive compensation policy, conducting an annual survey of positions and salaries among the biggest and best companies in diverse various segments, at its discretion. The compensation consists of a fixed monthly salary, which is related to the level of complexity of the position, and an annual share in the Company’s results through the variable compensation program.

The variable compensation program mostly aims at leveraging business and results, encouraging employees to effectively contribute to the Company’s growth, strengthening the commitment to sustainable results, while making the short- and long-term visions compatible, enabling that the Company’s growth results in a financial compensation, as well as retaining employees.

Short-Term Variable Compensation Programs

We have two variable compensation programs based on the definition of group and individual targets. These targets are cascaded across all hierarchical levels.

Long-Term Variable Compensation Programs

We have share-based compensation plans for certain non-management employees within our two Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plans linked to the price our stock, paid in local currency. These are the Phantom Shares Plan and the Share Appreciation Right (SAR) plan, described above. Both plans depend on the stock price, and the SAR plan also depends on the performance of our shares in relation to our main competitors (TSR – Total Shareholder Return).

On November 10, 2017, we migrated our class “A” preferred shares (SUZB5) to common shares (SUZB3). Since then, our common shares have become the underlying asset of our LTI plans.

D.Employees

As of December 31, 2021, we employed a total of 17,421 employees (Suzano + Portocel + Ecofuturo + Futuragene + 50% Veracel), distributed as follows:

	As of
	December 31,
	2021
Management	1,293
Specialists/Engineers	73
Administrative	4,172
Operations	11,884
Total	17,421

The increase in the number of employees (1,768 people) compared to 2020 is due to the incorporation of Futuragene, increase in our forest base, insourcing, formation of a succession pool for industrial units and hiring of employees for the Cerrado Project.

On December 31, 2021, 21,368 workers (Suzano = 20,375 + 50% Veracel = 993) employed by outsourced subcontractors and service providers were used. This scenario represents a 5.8% reduction in outsourced subcontractors and service providers compared to the previous year, equivalent to a reduction of 1,304 employees. The workforce is mostly allocated in forestry operations and logistics with 53% of workers, followed by 29% of workers distributed in industrial operations and 19% of workers in support and administrative activities.

In the years of 2021, 2020 and 2019, the number of accidents in our facilities were 163, 146, 195, respectively.

Our relationship with our employees is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in each of the collective labor agreements executed by us with the local unions to which our employees belong.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently party to numerous legal proceedings in Brazil relating to civil, administrative, tax, labor, environmental and corporate issues arising in the normal course of our business. Our audited consolidated financial statements only include provisions for probable and reasonably estimable losses and expenses we may incur in connection with pending proceedings. The roll forward of provisions according to the nature of each lawsuit is set forth below:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2021			2020
	Judicial
	deposits	Provision	Provision, net	Provision, net
	(in thousands of R$)
Tax	(135,590)	2,973,454	2,837,864	2,848,589
Labor	(45,302)	178,925	133,623	159,400
Civil	(19,650)	280,775	261,125	247,966
	(200,542)	3,433,154	3,232,612	3,255,955

Although the amounts of any liability that could arise against us with respect to these actions cannot be accurately predicted, in our opinion, except as described below, such actions, if decided adversely to us, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. The amount of the legal cases assessed as reasonably possible, as of December 31, 2021, is R$ 7,539.9 million for tax proceedings, R$211.8 million for labor proceedings and R$3,691.8 million for civil proceedings.

Tax Proceedings

As of December 31, 2021, we were involved as the defendant in approximately 50 administrative and judicial proceedings of tax and welfare nature, which likelihood of loss is probable, involving a plurality of taxes, such as corporate income tax (“IRPJ”), social contribution on net income (“CSLL”), retained income tax (“IRRF”), social integration program (“PIS”), social contribution on revenue (“COFINS”), tax on industrialized products (“IPI”), social contribution, tax on rural real estate (“ITR”), value added tax on goods and services (“ICMS”), tax on services (“ISS”) and real estate tax (“IPTU”).

As of December 31, 2021, we had provisions, net of judicial deposits, of R$2,837.9 million related to tax claims for which our legal counsel considers that the likelihood of loss is probable. In addition, the total amount related to proceedings in which we are defendants, and for which our legal counsel considers the likelihood of loss possible, is R$ 7,539.9 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had no provision accrued for claims which likelihood of loss is possible.

The remaining tax and welfare proceedings refer to other taxes, such as social contribution, IRPJ, CSLL, ITR, ICMS, ISS, IRRF, PIS and COFINS, mainly due to divergences on the interpretation of applicable tax rules and ancillary tax obligations.

We list below our liabilities (i) individually classified as possible losses deemed relevant by us or (ii) which updated value involves, individually, an amount higher than R$100 million:

a. Tax Assessment – IRPJ/CSLL – exchange of industrial and forestry assets: In December 2012, a tax assessment was issued by the Brazilian Federal Revenue (“RFB”) against us, with respect to IRPJ and CSLL under the allegation that there was no taxed capital gain in February 2007, when we finalized an exchange of industrial and forestry assets with International Paper. In January 2016, the Tax Federal Administrative Court (“CARF”) rejected the appeal filed by us. The appeal was rejected as per the casting vote of CARF’s President. After notification of the decision, in May 2016, since no new appeal at the administrative level is permitted, we filed a complaint with the judicial courts and are currently awaiting the defendant´s response (Brazilian federal government). We presented judicial guarantee, which was accepted. We continued not provisioning this matter, given that, based on the opinion of our internal and external legal counsel, the likelihood of loss is possible. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$2,351.7 million (R$2,296.0 million as of December 31, 2020).

85

b. Tax Assessment – IRPJ/CSLL – disallowance of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses – 2010: In December 2015, a tax assessment was issued by the RFB against us, with respect to IRPJ and CSLL. The main argument of the assessment is the non-deductibility of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses, during the fiscal year of 2010. We filed an administrative appeal, which was judged partially valid. We filed an appeal against this decision in November 2017. On October 16, 2018, the trial was converted into diligence, through resolution n. 1402-000723. Currently, the resolution is expected to be formalized. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$728.6 million (R$712.5 million as of December 31, 2020).

c. IRPJ/CSLL – partial approval – 1997: we requested approval to offset 1997 tax losses with amounts owed to the tax authorities. In March 2009, the authorities approved only R$83.0 million, which generated a difference of R$51.0 million. We are still awaiting the conclusion of the analysis of the credits discussed at the administrative level following a favorable decision of CARF in August 2019, which granted the Voluntary Appeal filed by us. For the remaining credit, we have appealed the rejection of the tax credits and obtained a partially favorable decision and the final decision is under discussion in the judicial level. Shortly after, an appeal was filed, which was judged in session, determining the conversion of the trial in diligence. On November 6, 2018, a decision was filed reinforcing the tax authorities’ conclusion at the first approval and our arguments. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$106.8 million (R$104.9 million as of December 31, 2020).

d. Tax Incentive — Agency for the Development of the Northeastern Brazil (ADENE): in 2002 the RFB granted our request to benefit from reductions in corporate income tax and nonrefundable surcharges calculated on operating profits (as defined) for Aracruz facilities A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), when the qualification reports for the tax reductions are approved by SUDENE. In 2004, we were served an Official Notice by the liquidator of the former Superintendence for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”), who reported that the right to use the benefit previously granted is unfounded and would be cancelled. In 2005, the RFB served us an assessment notice requiring the payment of the amounts of the tax incentive used, plus interest. After administrative discussions, the assessment notice was partially upheld and recognized our right to the tax incentive through 2003. Our management, supported by our legal counsel, believes that the decision to cancel the tax benefits is erroneous and should not prevail, either with respect to benefits already used, or with respect to benefits not used until the corresponding final periods. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$129.7 million (R$127.4 million as of December 31, 2020).

e. PIS/COFINS – Goods and Services – 2009 to 2011: in December 2013, the RFB issued an assessment against us demanding the collection of PIS and COFINS credits disallowed because they were allegedly not linked to our operating activities. In the first instance, the objection filed by us was dismissed. After the Voluntary Appeal was filed, it was partially provided in April 2016. From this decision, the National Treasury filed a Special Appeal to the Superior Chamber and we filed a Statement of Appeal, which are still pending judgment. The updated amount involved up to December 31, 2021 is R$169.8 million (R$166.4 million as of December 31, 2020).

f. Compensation – IRRF – period 2000: We filed a lawsuit requesting the compensation of IRRF credits originated in the year ended December 31, 2000 regarding debts owed to the RFB. In April 2008, the RFB partially recognized the credit in our favor. From this decision, we filed a Voluntary Appeal with CARF, which is pending judgment. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$111.4 million (R$109.9 million as of December 31, 2020).

g. Tax assessment – Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution: on October 5, 2020, we were notified about the tax assessment issued by the RFB claiming the payment of Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution, in the total amount of R$454.9 million, resulting from the remeasurement of profit of our wholly-owned subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. In addition to us, certain Statutory Executive Officers’ (“Officers”) from Suzano Trading were also included as co-responsible. The legal counsel considered the risk of loss as possible in regards to us and, in reference to the Officers, also possible but with greater chances of success (possible to remote). In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$ 470.1 million (R$454.9 million as of December 31, 2020).

86

h. Tax assessment – taxation on a universal basis – year 2015: on November 3, 2020, we received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax related to the year ended December 31, 2015, due to the absence of profits earned by subsidiaries abroad in the determination of taxable income and social contribution calculation basis. The legal advisors hired by us classify the prognosis as a possible loss. Currently, the defense presented at the administrative level is awaiting judgment. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$149.5 million (R$ 145.0 million as of December 31, 2020).

Labor Proceedings

As of December 31, 2021, we were involved in 987 labor proceedings assessed as reasonably probable, representing a contingency provision, net of judicial deposit, of R$133.6 million duly provisioned in our audited consolidated financial statements. In addition, we are involved in 1,462 labor proceedings assessed as reasonably possible, with a total amount under dispute totaling R$211,8 million. We are also party to several disputes involving unions located in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.

The labor claims involving us involve the usual matters under dispute in other agroindustrial companies, such as overtime and termination payments, additional compensation for allegedly unsafe/unhealthy labor conditions, in addition to lawsuits filed by outsourced and third-party employees claiming that we are secondarily or jointly liable for compensation owed to them by their original employers.

Civil, Land and Environmental Proceedings

As of December 31, 2021, we were involved in 57 judicial civil and environmental proceedings assessed as reasonably probable, representing a contingency provision, net of judicial deposits, of R$261.1 million duly provisioned in our audited consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have 205 civil and environmental proceedings assessed as reasonably possible, amount under dispute totaling R$3.691,8 million.

The civil judicial proceedings refer mainly to indemnification claims, real estate possession challenges, claims for the revision of contractual provisions, bankruptcy, reimbursement of funds claimed from landowners and land lawsuits. The environmental judicial proceedings involving us mainly relate to licensing issues and environmental impacts of our activities. We are also a party in several administrative civil proceedings (inquéritos civis) discussing our obligations to restore native forest in the state of São Paulo. Material claims are outlined below.

Environmental Matters

We currently have two relevant public civil claims (ação civil pública) filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office in the north and northeast regions of Brazil, which challenge the jurisdiction of the state’s environmental agency to grant environmental licenses and claiming compensation for the impacts of our operation. The Federal Public Prosecution Office alleges that the environmental licensing proceedings related to the installation of our industrial plant in the state of Maranhão should be carried out by the Brazilian Federal Environmental Agency – IBAMA. The risks involved in such proceedings include delays in our plantation schedule and the suspension of the activities carried out in our Maranhão unit until a new permit is issued and the impacts are repaired. The superior court is still to rule on an appeal against the injunction granted against us, and the other claim are still pending judgement by the trial judge.

In addition, we are involved in a dispute related to possible environmental damages in Cubatão (a city in the state of São Paulo), allegedly caused by Cia Santista de Papel, a company that was acquired by Ripasa S.A. Celulose e Papel, which in turn was acquired by us in 2008. This lawsuit is ongoing for over thirty years and involves more than twenty other companies. Claimants in this lawsuit seek reparation for the environmental damage allegedly caused to Serra do Mar’s State Park (an area under environmental protection) by several companies that maintained activities in the industrial district of Cubatão until the 1990s.

On September 2017, the lawsuit was ruled in favor of the plaintiff, sentencing the defendant companies to recover the damages allegedly caused or, should the environment be already recovered, to pay a compensation of equal value of the cost of the recovery. This compensation would be allocated to expand Serra do Mar’s State Park. The ruling, however, did not determined the amount that should be paid as compensation, leaving the definition of this value to a latter procedural stage.

87

The companies involved signed an agreement that has already been approved by the court and the action is awaiting closing.

In December 2020 the Prosecutors Office of the State of Bahia served us in a public civil claim (ação civil pública) questioning the applicability of the concept of “Consolidated Rural Areas”, established by Federal Law No. 12.651 / 2012, in the areas inserted in the Mata Atlântica Biome. The process is still in a preliminary stage awaiting the judge’s decision of injunction.

Civil Matters

Regarding civil matters, we are involved in two public civil claims (ação civil pública) filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office requesting (i) a preliminary injunction to prohibit our trucks from transporting wood in federal highways above legal weight restrictions, (ii) an increase in the amount of fines for cases of overweight, and (iii) compensation for damages to property allegedly caused to federal highways, the environment and the economic order, and compensation for moral damages. One of these claims was ruled against us. We presented an appeal to the Court of Appeals, requesting an interim relief to stay the effects of such ruling until a final decision is reached. We are currently waiting for the ruling on the interim relief by the 1st Regional Federal Court Appeals. In 2021, both were suspended due to the decision of the STJ to evaluate the points of discussion in the form of a repetitive appeal. Still no date for judgment

In November 2020, a sea logistic supplier initiated an arbitration proceeding against us due to the early termination of the agreement. The counterparty seeks to enforce a put provision (imposing the ownership and acquisition of barges) allegedly foreseen in the agreement as a penalty for the early termination, and the payment of purported losses and damages suffered because of termination. Our position is that the put is not due, and, even if it was due, the put provision is abusive under the economic ratio of the contract. The case is still in the preliminary stage, pending the indication of the presiding arbitrator for constitution of the arbitral tribunal and signing of the Terms of Reference.

Also, in 2015 the Company sued a competitor who improper and unauthorizedly used a variety of eucalyptus protected by intellectual property rights (cultivar) of the former Fibria. The prohibition of cultivation of this biological asset by the competitor is protected by an injunction still in force. While the sentence is pending, the competitor filed an action to annul the cultivar registration, but the course of the first action was not harmed. The first claim was ruled on April 2021. The district court ruled the case, confirming the preliminary injunction and determining Respondent to cease and refrain from planting and propagating eucalyptus clones of VT02 throughout the national territory, as well as ordering it to pay compensation for material damages to be fixed in further liquidation. The case was then staid to wait for the ruling on the nullity claim. The Company filed an appeal to question this decision and is still waiting for a decision.

Land Disputes

We were served in March 2014 in a public civil claim (ação civil pública) filed by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office regarding real property acquired by us in the northern part of the state of Espírito Santo. The Federal Prosecutor requested the nullity of the deeds, compensation for moral damages and suspension of financing for our operations in the municipalities of São Mateus and Conceição da Barra, both located in the state of Espírito Santo. A preliminary injunction was granted, which blocked around 6,000 hectares of our land in such municipalities and suspended any financing for us by BNDES for either production or planting of eucalyptus pulp on the properties relating to the public civil claim.

In September 2015, we were served a notice of another public civil claim (ação civil pública) filed by the same Federal Prosecutor’s Office, requesting the nullity of the deeds of other certain proprieties acquired in the northern part of the state of Espírito Santo. A preliminary injunction was granted blocking around 5,601 hectares of our land in the same municipalities of São Mateus and Conceição da Barra. We filed our judicial defense and an appeal against such injunction, which is still pending judgment.

In October 2021, both cases were ruled and the Federal District Court, decided for the nullity of the land titles and determined the return of these areas and respective properties rights to the State’s title.

The decisions rendered are not final and the company has filed appropriate appeals claiming for reversal of this decision before the Federal State Court of Espirito Santo.

88

It is important to highlight that Suzano is the legitimate owner of the properties under discussion and will continue to discuss the matter in court, in order to prove the legality of the acquisitions made at the time of acquisition, in accordance with applicable laws and practices applicable at the time of purchase.

Administrative and Other Proceedings

There have been news reports in the Brazilian press alleging that certain contracts of Argeplan Arquitetura e Engenharia, a Brazilian engineering company unrelated to us, were under investigation, including a wood supply contract entered into with Fibria in September 2005. Following such news reports, we performed a review and concluded that there were no irregularities in connection with the signing of this contract, and that the contract (which is one of many third-party wood supply contracts that we enter into) is on market terms and is in line with industry practices in the pulp sector. Furthermore, official reports prepared by the competent authorities do not indicate any irregularities relating to such contract or the relationship between Suzano and Argeplan Arquitetura e Engenharia. This contract expired in August 2019.

Land Issues

In April and October 2006, and in December 2009, the Brazilian Institute for Land Reform – INCRA, published a public notice informing that certain reports issued by commissions created by INCRA concluded that approximately 34,430 hectares of land located in the state of Espírito Santo should belong to certain quilombola communities (comunidades quilombolas de Linharinho, São Jorge e São Domingos). From that total area, approximately 25,330 hectares corresponded to property owned by us. The issues raised by INCRA reports are still underway, and there is no final decision by the INCRA. We are confident that the acquisition of this area by us complied with the applicable legislation and was duly registered with the appropriate governmental offices.

Dividends

General

The Brazilian Corporation Law and our bylaws require that we distribute annually to our shareholders a mandatory minimum dividend, which we refer to as the mandatory dividend, equal to at least 25% of our net income after taxes, after certain deductions, including accumulated losses and any amounts allocated to employee and management participation, any amount allocated to our legal reserve, and any amount allocated to the contingency reserve and any amount written off in respect of the contingency reserve accumulated in previous fiscal years, in each case in accordance with Brazilian law.

In accordance with article 26 of our bylaws, the minimum mandatory dividend corresponds to the lower of: (i) 25% of the adjusted annual net profits, adjusted according with the Brazilian Corporate Law, and (ii) 10% of the Operating Cash Flow Generation in the relevant fiscal year. The Operating Cash Flow Generation (“GCO”) is calculated using the following formula: GCO = Adjusted EBITDA – Maintenance Capex, where “GCO” means the consolidated Generation of Operational Cash of the Fiscal Year, expressed in national currency, “EBITDA” means our net profit of the fiscal year expressed in national currency, before the income tax and social contribution on net income, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and depletion. “Adjusted EBITDA” means the EBITDA excluding items not recurrent and/or not cash and gains (losses) arising from changes in fair value of sale of the biological assets.

Dividends must be distributed within 60 days from the date of its declaration, unless a shareholders’ resolution determines another date, not later than the end of the fiscal year in which such dividend was declared. The Brazilian Corporation Law permits, however, a company to suspend the mandatory distribution of dividends if its board of directors reports to the shareholders’ meeting that the distribution would be incompatible with the financial condition of the company, subject to approval by the shareholders’ meeting and review by the fiscal council. Net income not distributed due to the suspension mentioned here must be attributed to a special reserve and, if not absorbed by subsequent losses, must be paid as dividends as soon as the financial situation of the company permits.

89

The amounts available for distribution are determined on the basis of financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Brazilian Corporation Law. In addition, amounts arising from tax incentive benefits or rebates are appropriated to a separate capital reserve in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law. This investment incentive reserve is not normally available for distribution, although it can be used to absorb losses under certain circumstances or be capitalized. Amounts appropriated to this reserve are not available for distribution as dividends.

The Brazilian Corporation Law permits a company to pay interim dividends out of preexisting and accumulated profits for the preceding fiscal year or semester, based on financial statements approved by its shareholders. We may prepare financial statements semiannually or for shorter periods. Our board of directors may declare a distribution of dividends based on the profits reported in semiannual financial statements. Our board of directors may also declare a distribution of interim dividends based on profits previously accumulated or in profits reserve, which are reported in such financial statements or in the last annual financial statement approved by resolution taken at a shareholders’ meeting.

In general, shareholders who are not Brazilian residents must register their equity investment with the Central Bank of Brazil to have dividends, sales proceeds or other amounts with respect to their shares eligible to be remitted outside of Brazil. The common shares underlying the ADSs are held in Brazil by Banco Itaú S.A., also known as the custodian, as agent for the depositary, which is the registered owner on the records of the registrar for our shares.

Payments of cash dividends and distributions, if any, are made in reais to the custodian on behalf of the depositary, which then converts such proceeds into U.S. Dollars and causes such U.S. Dollars to be delivered to the depositary for distribution to holders of ADSs. In the event that the custodian is unable to convert immediately the foreign currency received as dividends into U.S. Dollars, the amount of U.S. Dollars payable to holders of ADSs may be adversely affected by devaluations of the Brazilian currency that occur before the dividends are converted. Under the Brazilian Corporation Law, dividends paid to persons who are not Brazilian residents, including holders of ADSs, will not be subject to Brazilian withholding tax.

Payment of dividends

On April 25, 2022, our Shareholder’s in the Annual Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholder’s meeting approved the distribution of dividends in the total amount of R$1.8 billion, related to: a) R$1.0 billion as anticipated dividends to the net income account for the year, as approved by our Board of Directors on January 7, 2022, and R$90 thousand due to variations in stock ownership verified in January 2022; and b) R$799.9 million declared at the Annual Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholder’s meetings held on April 25, 2022, expected to be paid on May 13, 2022, in local currency, based on the stock ownership at the close of the trading session of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, on May 4, 2022.

In accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law and our bylaws, our shareholders approved that there would be no distribution of dividends for the fiscal years of 2020 and 2019, given that there was no net profit for each of such years.

B. Significant Changes

Acquisition of Parkia

On April 27, 2022, we, as purchaser, have entered into the “Share Purchase and Sale Agreement” (the “SPA”) with Investimentos Florestais Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia (“FIP”) and Arapar Participações S.A (“Arapar” and, together with the FIP, the “Sellers”), as sellers, and the Target Companies (as defined below) as intervening parties (“SPA”) whereby the parties thereto agreed on the terms and conditions for the acquisition by us, on the closing date, of the totality of shares held by the Sellers in the following companies: (a) Vitex SP Participações S.A. (b) Vitex BA Participações S.A. (c) Vitex ES Participações S.A. (d) Vitex MS Participações S.A. (e) Parkia SP Participações S.A. (f) Parkia BA Participações S.A. (g) Parkia ES Participações S.A. and (h) Parkia MS Participações S.A. (“Target Companies” and “Transaction”).

In consideration for the shares of the Target Companies, we agreed to pay a base price in the amount equivalent to US$667,000 (equivalent to R$3,346,139 on the execution date of the SPA), in two (2) installments, the first being due at the closing of the Transaction and the second one after twelve (12) months from the closing of the Transaction. The base price is subject to post-closing price adjustments, based on the net debt and working capital variations of the Target Companies.

90

The closing of the Transaction is subject to the fulfillment of conditions precedent, market practice in similar transactions, including the approval of the Transaction by the Brazilian antitrust authorities (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica - CADE), the corporate approvals by the parties to the SPA. To the extent applicable, our management will convene in due course a General Shareholders’ Meeting for the ratification of the Transaction.

We already use the Target Companies’ forests assets through rural partnership agreements entered into in 2013 by our predecessor, Fibria Celulose S.A. The Transaction is aligned with our strategy to be ‘best-in-class’ in terms of the total cost of pulp, by reducing expenditure on the purchase of wood, as well as guaranteeing a forest base in strategic areas for our operations in the long term.

Other Significant Changes

Other significant changes or events have occurred after the close of the balance sheet at December 31, 2021. For further information on such events, please see note 32 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

A.Offer and Listing Details

Our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “SUZ.” Our common shares trade on the São Paulo Stock Exchange under the symbol “SUZB3.” On December 31, 2021, we had approximately 74,000 shareholders of record at the B3.

B.Plan of Distribution

Not applicable.

C.Markets

Trading on the São Paulo Stock Exchange

Settlement of transactions conducted on the B3 becomes effective two business days after the trade date. Delivery of, and payment for, shares is made through the facilities of separate clearinghouses for each exchange, which maintain accounts for member brokerage firms. The seller is ordinarily required to deliver the shares to the clearinghouse on the second business day following the trade date. The clearinghouse for the B3 is Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia, or CBLC.

In order to better control volatility, the B3 has adopted a “circuit breaker” system pursuant to which trading sessions may be suspended for a period of 30 minutes or one hour whenever the indices of these stock exchanges fall below the limits of 10% and 15%, respectively, in relation to the index registered in the previous trading session.

The B3 is less liquid than the New York Stock Exchange or other major exchanges in the world. At December 31, 2021, the aggregate market capitalization of the 92 companies listed on the São Paulo Stock Exchange Index (Ibovespa) was equivalent to approximately US$773 billion. Although any of the outstanding shares of a listed company may trade on a Brazilian stock exchange, in most cases fewer than half of the listed shares are actually available for trading by the public, the remainder being held by small groups of controlling persons, governmental entities or one principal shareholder.

Trading on the B3 by non-residents of Brazil is subject to certain limitations under Brazilian foreign investment and tax legislation. See Item 10. “Additional Information — Taxation” and Item 10. “Additional Information — Exchange Controls.”

B3 Corporate Governance Standards

The B3 has three listing segments:

● Level 1;

91

● Level 2; and

● Novo Mercado (New Market)

These listing segments have been designed for the trading of shares issued by companies that voluntarily undertake to abide by corporate governance practices and disclosure requirements in addition to those already required under the Brazilian Corporation Law. The inclusion of a company in any of these listing segments requires adherence to a series of corporate governance rules. These rules are designed to increase shareholders’ rights and enhance the quality of information provided by Brazilian corporations.

In 2004, we listed our shares on the Level 1 segment of the BM&FBOVESPA (former name of the B3), thus guaranteeing transparency in our operations and accountability to our shareholders. In September 2017, we approved the admission of our shares for trading on the listing segment called Novo Mercado of B3, followed by the conversion of the preferred shares issued by us into common shares at the ratio of one preferred share, class “A” or class “B”, for one common share. In addition, we also approved the restatement of our bylaws to adapt them to Novo Mercado rules and a change of our methodology to calculate mandatory dividends, also reflecting best corporate governance practices. We concluded the migration to Novo Mercado segment of B3 in November 2017.

As a result, in addition to the disclosure obligations imposed by the Brazilian Corporation Law and the CVM, we also must comply with the following additional disclosure requirements set forth by the Novo Mercado rules:

● no later than six months following our listing on the Novo Mercado, we must disclose financial statements and consolidated financial statements at the end of each quarter (except the last quarter of the year) and at the end of each fiscal year, including a statement of cash flows which must indicate, at a minimum, the changes in our cash and cash equivalents, divided into operating, financing and investing activities;

● from the date on which we release our financial statements relating to the second fiscal year following our listing on the Novo Mercado we must, no later than four months after the end of the fiscal year: (i) prepare our annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements, if applicable, in accordance with U.S. GAAP or IFRS, in reais or U.S. dollars, in the English language, together with

● management reports, (b) notes to the financial statements, including information on net income and shareholders’ equity calculated at the end of such fiscal year in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, as well as management proposals for allocation of net income, and (c) our independent auditors’ report; or (ii) disclose, in the English language, complete financial statements, management reports and notes to the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law, accompanied by (a) an additional note regarding the reconciliation of year-end net income and shareholders’ equity calculated in accordance with Brazilian GAAP to U.S. GAAP or IFRS, as the case may be, which must include the main differences between the accounting principles used, and (b) the independent auditors’ report; and

● from the date on which we release our first financial statement prepared as provided above, no more than 15 days following the term established by law for the publication of quarterly financial information, we must: (i) disclose, in its entirety, our quarterly financial information translated into the English language or (ii) disclose our financial statements and consolidated financial statements in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, U.S. GAAP or IFRS as provided above, accompanied by the independent auditors’ report.

No later than six months following the listing of our common shares on the Novo Mercado, we must disclose the following information together with our ITR:

● our consolidated balance sheet, consolidated income statement and a discussion and analysis of our consolidated performance, if we are obliged to disclose consolidated financial statements at year-end;

● any direct or indirect ownership interest exceeding 5.0% of our capital stock, considering any ultimate individual beneficial owner;

92

● the number and characteristics, on a consolidated basis, of our common shares held directly or indirectly by any controlling shareholders, members of our board of directors, board of executive officers and fiscal committee;

● changes in the numbers of our common shares held by any controlling shareholders, members of our board of directors, board of executive officers and fiscal committee in the immediately preceding 12 months;

● in an explanatory note, our statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of cash flows, which should indicate the cash flows changes in cash balance and cash equivalent, separated into operating, financing and investing activities; and

● the number of free-float shares, and their percentage in relation to the total number of issued shares.

The following information must also be included in our formulário de referência within seven business days of the occurrence of the following events, among others:

● change in management or of an audit committee member;

● change in capital stock;

● issuance of new securities even if for private subscription;

● change in the rights of the securities issued;

● change in direct or indirect holdings by controlling shareholders or variations in their share positions equal to or greater than 5% of the same types or class of stocks of the issuer;

● when any natural or legal person, or a group of persons representing the same interest, has a direct or indirect share that is equal to or higher than 5% of the same type or class of stocks of the issuer, provided that the issuer is aware of such change;

● any change in the share position held by the persons mentioned in the two preceding items, in an amount greater than 5% of the same types or class of stocks of the issuer, provided that the issuer is aware of such change;

● merger, merger of shares, or spin-off;

● change in the projections or estimates or disclosure of new projections or estimates;

● execution, amendment or termination of a shareholders’ agreement filed at the company’s headquarters or to which the controlling shareholder is party that provides for the exercise of voting rights or the control of the company; and

● bankruptcy, judicial recovery, liquidation, or court approval of an extrajudicial recovery.

All members of our board of directors, our board of executive officers and our fiscal council have signed a management compliance statement (Termo de Anuência dos Administradores) under which they take personal responsibility for compliance with the Novo Mercado listing agreement, the rules of the Market Arbitration Chamber and the regulations of the Novo Mercado.

Additionally, pursuant to the Novo Mercado rules, we must, by December 10 of each year, publicly disclose and send to the B3 an annual calendar with a schedule of our corporate events. Any subsequent modification to such schedule must be immediately and publicly disclosed and sent to B3.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A.Share Capital

As of the date hereof, our outstanding, fully paid-in share capital is R$9,269.2 million, comprised of 1,361,263,584 registered, book-entry common shares, with no par value. There has been one increase in the total amount of our share capital in January 10, 2019, with the issuance of 255,437,439 common shares, with no par value. In September, 2017, we approved the admission of our shares for trading on the listing segment called Novo Mercado of B3, followed by the conversion of the preferred shares issued by us into common shares at the ratio of one preferred share, class “A” or class “B”, for one common share. In addition, we also approved the restatement of our bylaws to adapt them to Novo Mercado rules and the change of the methodology to calculate mandatory dividends, also reflecting best corporate governance practices. We concluded the migration to Novo Mercado segment of B3 in November 2017 and the conversion of the preferred shares issued by us into common shares became effective.

The rights attributed to the new common shares (converted from our preferred shares) are identical to the rights previously granted to our then existing common shares. The rights attributed to the new common shares include: (i) the right to vote in our shareholders’ meetings; (ii) the right to receive 100% of the amount paid per voting share in the controlling block in the event our control is sold; (iii) the right to receive dividends and interest on own capital declared by us. For further information, see Item 10.B below and Exhibit 2.1 to this annual report, “Description of Securities Registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act—I. Common Shares”.

B.Memorandum and Articles of Association

Our bylaws, approved by our shareholders at our general meeting held on April 27, 2021, are filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this annual report. The information otherwise contemplated by this Item has previously been reported in our registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the Commission on August 6, 2018 (Reg. No. 333-226596). This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Bylaws, the Brazilian corporation law and the rules and regulations of the CVM and the Novo Mercado.

Voting Rights

Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at the matters of the shareholders’ meetings, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law, our bylaws and the Novo Mercado regulation.

Shareholders’ Meetings

According to Brazilian Corporation Law, shareholders must be previously notified through a notice published three times in Brazilian official gazettes in order for an annual or extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to be held. The notification must occur at least twenty one days prior to the meeting scheduled date, pursuant to Brazilian Corporation Law. If the meeting so noticed is not held for any reason on first notice, a second notification must be published at least eight days before the second meeting date.

94

On the first notice, meetings may be held only if shareholders holding at least one-fourth of voting shares are represented. Extraordinary meetings for the amendment of the bylaws may be held on the first notice only if shareholders holding at least two thirds of the voting capital are represented. On a second call, the meetings are held regardless of quorum.

Pursuant to our bylaws and Brazilian Corporation Law, shareholders at our annual shareholders’ meeting, which is required to be held within the first four months following the end of the fiscal year, will convene to: (i) take the management accounts; examine, discuss and vote on the financial statements; (ii) decide on the uses to which the net income of the fiscal year should be put and on the distribution of dividends; and (iii) elect the members of the Fiscal Council and, when applicable, the members of the Board of Directors.

An Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting shall be convened whenever the Company interests so require, and/or to resolve on following matters pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law: (i) amend our bylaws; (ii) elect or dismiss members of the Board of Directors (Conselho de Administração), at any time; (iii) install our fiscal council and elect its members, if such body was not installed in the annual shareholders’ meeting; (iv) authorize the issuance of debentures; (v) suspend the rights of a shareholder in the event such shareholder does not comply with obligations imposed by law or our bylaws; (vi) accept or reject in-kind contributions offered by a shareholder in consideration for issuance of capital stock; (vii) authorize the issue of founder’s shares (viiii) pass resolutions to reorganize the legal form of, merge, consolidate or split the company, to dissolve and liquidate the company, to elect and dismiss our liquidators and to examine their accounts; (ix) authorize management to declare us insolvent and to request a judicial recovery (recuperação judicial, a procedure involving protection from creditors available under Brazilian law); (x) resolve on the execution of transactions with related parties or the sale or the contribution, to another company, if the transaction value represents more than 50% of the company´s total assets, according to the previous financial statement approved by the shareholders;

Still according to our bylaws, the Shareholders Meeting which has as a matter of its agenda the resolution over (i) the cancellation of the company’s registry as a publicly held company; or (ii) the change or the exclusion of Article 30 regarding the tender offer in case of acquisition of relevant interest, shall be called, with at least, sixty (60) days in advance.

Dividends

The Brazilian Corporation Law and our bylaws require that we distribute annually to our shareholders a mandatory minimum dividend, which we refer to as the mandatory dividend, after certain deductions, including accumulated losses and any amounts allocated to employee and management participation, any amount allocated to our legal reserve, and any amount allocated to the contingency reserve and any amount written off in respect of the contingency reserve accumulated in previous fiscal years, in each case in accordance with Brazilian law.

In accordance with article 26 of our bylaws, the minimum mandatory dividend corresponds to the lower of: (i) 25% of the adjusted net profits, and (ii) 10% of the Operating Cash Flow Generation in the relevant fiscal year. The Operating Cash Flow Generation (“GCO”) is calculated using the following formula: GCO = Adjusted EBITDA – Maintenance Capex, where “EBITDA” means the net profit of the fiscal year of the Company expressed in national currency, before the income tax and social contribution on net income, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and depletion. “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA excluding items not recurrent and/or not cash and gains (losses) arising from changes in fair value of sale of the biological assets. “Maintenance Capex” means the amount, expressed in national currency, of the investments in maintenance executed in the fiscal year.

Acquisition of a Relevant Interest

Any person, including, without limitation, any natural or legal person, investment fund, condominium, securities portfolio, universality of rights, or other form of organization, resident, domiciled or headquartered in Brazil or abroad solely or jointly with another bound person(s) (person or group of persons bound by a voting agreement or similar agreement, or acting jointly representing the same interests), shareholder(s) or not of the Company, which subscribes, acquires or, in any other form, including, without limitation, by means of exchange, conversion, corporate reorganization (including, but not limiting to the merger of the Company and/or of its shares or the merger by the Company of other company or the shares thereof), or even upon acquisition of preemptive rights and/or subscription of shares or other securities issued by the Company convertible into shares or which give the right to its subscription or purchase of shares of the Company, becomes holder, directly or indirectly, in Brazil or offshore, of any percentage equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%) of the total shares issued by the Company shall, within the maximum term of thirty (30) days counting from the date of the event which results in the ownership of the relevant interest, launch or, in the case of a registered

95

tender offer in the terms of CVM Rule 361/02, file a registry request before CVM of, a tender offer for the acquisition of the totality of the shares issued by the Company, which shall be liquidated in the maximum term of (a) forty eight (48) days counting from the launch of the offer not subject to registration, and (b) one hundred and eighty (180) days counting from the date of registry filing, in the case of an offer subject to registration, in the terms of the law and applicable legislation, except for certain delays which do not arise from any act or omission of the offeror.

Disclosure of Significant Interest

CVM rules provides that all shareholders or groups of shareholders will be required to disclose, through notice to us and to the stock exchanges on which our securities are traded, the negotiation of securities that results in the shareholder surpassing or decreasing the thresholds of 5%, 10%, 15%, and so on, of participation in a certain class or type of share representative of a company’s capital stock.

Pursuant to our bylaws, any person who holds Outstanding Shares in an amount greater than five percent (5%) of the total shares issued by us, and that wishes to carry out a new acquisition of shares issued by us (“New Acquisition”), shall be obliged, prior to each New Acquisition, to communicate in writing to our Investor Relations Officer, at least three (3) business days prior to the date of the New Acquisition: (i) the number of Outstanding Shares that it intends to acquire; (ii) the intention to acquire; (iii) if it has an interest to appoint a member to the Board of Directors or to the Audit Committee; (iv) the source of the resources that will be used for such acquisition; and (v) the strategic plans related to its investment in the Company. By “Outstanding Shares” we mean all shares issued by us, except those (i) owned, directly or indirectly, by the controlling shareholder or persons related thereto; (ii) in the Company’s treasury; (iii) held by a company controlled by us; and (iv) directly or indirectly held by our directors, officer or other members of our management.

In the event that the person does not comply with such obligations, the provisions regarding the tender offer for the acquisition of the totality of the shares shall be observed.

Sale of Control

In the event of a direct or indirect sale of our shareholding control, through a single or series of transactions, the acquirer must conduct a public tender offer for all shares held by the remaining shareholders in order to ensure equal treatment of all shareholders (tag-along right). The tender offer is subject to applicable laws and regulations, our bylaws and the rules of the Novo Mercado.

Delisting from the Novo Mercado

According to the new Novo Mercado Listing Rules – applicable as of January 2, 2018 – the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado may be: (i) voluntary; or (ii) mandatory, as a result of the violation of any the rules of the Novo Mercado or the deregistration as publicly-held company.

The withdrawal, however, shall only occur after the launching of a public tender offer for our outstanding shares, which shall (i) follow, as applicable, the CVM regulation that rules that the mandatory tender offer for the deregistration as publicly held company (including the abovementioned possibility to request a second valuation report); and (ii) be launched at a fair price, as appointed in the appraisal report issued by a specialized institution with proven experience for the purposes of the tender offer; and (iii) be approved by at least one third (1/3) of the shareholders representing the free float that participate in the tender offer auction (whether by selling its shares or expressly agreeing with the withdrawal from the Novo Mercado).

The obligation to launch such public tender offer, however, may be waived by the majority of the shareholders representing our free float present at the shareholders’ meeting convened to resolve on that matter. Such shareholders’ meeting may be held on first call with the attendance of shareholders representing two thirds (2/3) of the free float or, on second call, with the attendance of any number of shareholders representing the free float.

The withdrawal from the Novo Mercado does not necessarily result in our deregistration as a publicly-held company on the B3. If we participate in a corporate reorganization involving the transfer of our shareholders’ base to a company that is not listed in the Novo Mercado, such resulting company or companies must apply for listing on Novo Mercado within one hundred and twenty (120)

96

days from the date of the general shareholders meeting that approved the reorganization, unless the majority of the shareholders representing our free float present at such shareholders’ meeting agrees with the non-listing of the resulting company.

Pursuant to the new rules of the Novo Mercado, the voluntary withdrawal shall be preceded by a public tender offer at fair market value. For the withdrawal to move forward, shareholders representing more than one third (1/3) of the outstanding shares shall need to accept the tender offer or expressly agree to delist without selling the shares.

According to the rules of the Novo Mercado, in the event of a transfer of our shareholding control within 12 months following our delisting from the Novo Mercado, the selling controlling shareholder(s) and the acquirer must offer to acquire the remaining shares for the same price and terms offered to the selling controlling shareholders, duly updated, or pay the difference, if any, between the tender offer price accepted by the former shareholders, duly updated, and the price obtained by the controlling shareholder in selling its shares.

Delisting as Publicly-Held Company

Our delisting as publicly-held company shall be conditioned to: (i) the launching of a public tender offer for the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares in accordance with the provisions of Brazilian Corporation Law, the CVM rules and regulations, by us, our controlling shareholders or a group of controlling shareholders and (ii) the acceptance of at least two thirds (2/3) of the shareholders representing the free float that show up at the tender offer auction (whether by selling its shares or expressly agreeing with the delisting), in which case we would become a privately-held company. The price offered for such outstanding shares must at least correspond to the fair value of such shares as set forth in the respective appraisal report issued by a specialized institution with proven experience hired by the offeror for the purposes of the tender offer.

Shareholders holding at least ten percent of the free float of our shares may require our management to call a special shareholders’ meeting to determine whether to perform another valuation using the same or a different valuation method. This request must be made within 15 days following the disclosure of the price to be paid for the shares in the public tender offer. If the new valuation price is equal to or lower than the original valuation price, the shareholders making such request as well as those who vote in its favor must reimburse the Company for any costs incurred in preparing the new appraisal report. If the new valuation price is higher than the original valuation price, the offeror shall then decide whether to proceed with the public tender offer observing the new price or withdraw the tender offer, in which case the Company will continue to be registered as a publicly-held company.

Preemptive Rights

Each of our shareholders has a general preemptive right to subscribe for shares or convertible securities in any capital increase, in proportion to its shareholding, except (i) in case of sale on a stock exchange or by public subscription, (ii) pursuant to an exchange for shares in a public offer for the acquisition of control, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law, (iii) for subscription of shares in accordance with the special law for tax incentives, (iv) conversion of debentures and other securities into shares, since, in these cases, the preemptive right must be exercised when the security is issued, (v) in the event of the grant and exercise of any stock option to acquire or subscribe for shares of our capital stock; and (vi) in the context of a capital increase derived from merger, merger of shares and/or spin-off implemented according to Brazilian Corporation Law. A minimum period of 30 days following the publication of notice of the issuance of shares or convertible securities is allowed for exercise of the right, and the right is negotiable. However, according to our bylaws, our board of Directors can eliminate this preemptive right or reduce the 30-day period in case we issue debentures that are convertible into shares, warrants (bônus de subscrição) or shares within the limits authorized by the bylaws and the Brazilian Corporate Law: (i) through a stock exchange or through a public offering or (ii) through an exchange of shares in a public offering to acquire control of another publicly-held company.

You may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to the common shares underlying your ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to the shares to which the rights relate or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available and our ADS depositary determines to make the rights available to you. See Item 3. “Key Information — Risk Factors —Holders of ADSs may be unable to exercise the preemptive rights relating to our shares underlying the ADSs.”

97

Right of Withdrawal

The Brazilian Corporation Law provides that, under certain circumstances, a shareholder has the right to withdraw its equity interest from the company and to receive payment for the portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to its equity interest. Withdrawal rights may be exercised by dissenting or non-voting shareholders, if a vote of at least 50% of voting shares authorizes us:

● to establish new shares or to disproportionately increase an existing class of preferred shares relative to the other classes of shares, unless such action is provided for or authorized by the bylaws;

● to modify a preference, privilege or condition of redemption or amortization conferred on one or more classes of preferred shares, or to create a new class with greater privileges than the existing classes of preferred shares;

● to reduce the mandatory distribution of dividends;

● to merge with another company (including if we are merged into one of our controlling companies) or to consolidate, except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list;

● to approve our participation in a centralized group of companies, as defined under the Brazilian Corporation Law, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list;

● to change our corporate purpose;

● to terminate a state of liquidation of the corporation;

● to dissolve the corporation;

● to transfer all of our shares to another company or in order to make us a wholly owned subsidiary of such company, known as a merger of shares (incorporação de ações), except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list;

● to approve the acquisition of control of another company at a price which exceeds certain limits set forth in the Brazilian Corporation Law, except as described in the fourth paragraph following this list; or

● to conduct a spin-off that results in (a) a change of our corporate purposes, except if the assets and liabilities of the spinoff company are contributed to a company that is engaged in substantially the same activities, (b) a reduction in the mandatory dividend or (c) any participation in a centralized group of companies, as defined under the Brazilian Corporation Law.

In addition, in the event that the entity resulting from incorporação de ações, or a merger of shares, a consolidation or a spinoff of a listed company fails to become a listed company within 120 days of the shareholders’ meeting at which such decision was taken, the dissenting or non-voting shareholders may also exercise their withdrawal rights.

Only holders of shares adversely affected by the changes mentioned in the first and second items above may withdraw their shares. The right of withdrawal lapses 30 days after publication of the minutes of the relevant shareholders’ meeting. In the first two cases mentioned above, however, the resolution is subject to confirmation by the preferred shareholders, which must be obtained at a special meeting held within one year. In those cases, the 30-day term is counted from the date the minutes of the special meeting are published. We would be entitled to reconsider any action giving rise to withdrawal rights within 10 days following the expiration of such rights if the withdrawal of shares of dissenting shareholders would jeopardize our financial stability.

The Brazilian Corporation Law allows companies to redeem their shares at their economic value, subject to certain requirements. Since our bylaws currently do not provide that our shares be subject to withdrawal at their economic value, our shares would be subject to withdrawal at their book value, determined on the basis of the last balance sheet approved by the shareholders. If the shareholders’ meeting giving rise to withdrawal rights occurs more than 60 days after the date of the last approved balance sheet, a

98

shareholder may demand that its shares be valued on the basis of a new balance sheet that is of a date within 60 days of such shareholders’ meeting.

Pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law, in events of consolidation, merger, incorporação de ações, participation in a group of companies, and acquisition of control of another company, the right to withdraw does not apply if the shares meet certain tests relating to liquidity and dispersal of the type or class of shares on the market. In such cases, shareholders will not be entitled to withdraw their shares if the shares are a component of a general securities index in Brazil or abroad admitted to trading on the securities markets, as defined by the CVM, and the shares held by persons unaffiliated with the controlling shareholder represent more than half of the outstanding shares of the relevant type or class.

Arbitration

We, our shareholders, managers and members of the Audit Committee, whether sitting or alternate members, if any, undertake to resolve, through arbitration, before the Market Arbitration Chamber (Câmara de Arbitragem do Mercado), pursuant to its regulations, any controversies that may arise between them, relating to or arising from their respective condition as an issuer, shareholder, administrator and/or member of the Audit Committee, in particular, of the provisions contained in Law No. 6,385/76, the Brazilian Corporations Law, our bylaws, in the rules issued by the National Monetary Council, by the Central Bank of Brazil and by the Brazilian Securities and Exchanges Commission (CVM), as well as in the other rules applicable to the operation of the capital markets in general, in addition to those contained in the Novo Mercado Rules, the other regulations of B3 and the Novo Mercado Listing Agreement.

C.Material Contracts

Financing Agreements

For a description of the main agreements comprising our short and long-term indebtedness as of December 31, 2021, see Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Sources and Uses of Funds—Indebtedness.”

D.Exchange Controls

There are no restrictions on ownership of our common shares by individuals or legal entities domiciled outside Brazil. However, the right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of common shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts outside Brazil is subject to exchange control restrictions and foreign investment legislation, which generally require, among other things, obtaining an electronic registration with the Central Bank of Brazil.

Under Resolution No. 4.373/2014, foreign investors may invest in almost all financial assets and engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that some requirements are fulfilled. In accordance with Resolution No. 4.373/2014, the definition of foreign investor includes individuals, legal entities, mutual funds and other collective investment entities that are domiciled or headquartered abroad.

Investors under Resolution No. 4.373/2014, from no favorable tax regime countries, who are not a Tax Haven Holder that does not impose income tax or in which the maximum income tax rate is lower than 20%, are entitled to favorable tax treatment. See “Taxation—Material Brazilian Tax Considerations.”

Resolution No. 1,927 provides for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect of shares of Brazilian issuers. An application was filed to have the ADSs approved by the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM under Annex V, and we received final approval before the ADSs Offering.

An electronic registration, which replaced the amended Certificate of Registration, was issued in the name of the depositary with respect to the ADSs and is maintained by the Custodian on behalf of the Depositary. This electronic registration was carried on through the SISBACEN. Pursuant to the electronic registration, the Custodian and the Depositary are able to convert dividends and other distributions with respect to the common shares represented by the ADSs into foreign currency and remit the proceeds outside Brazil. In the event that a holder of ADSs exchanges the ADSs for common shares, the holder will be entitled to continue to rely on

99

the Depositary’s electronic registration for only five business days after the exchange. Thereafter, a holder must seek to obtain its own electronic registration. Unless the common shares are held pursuant to Resolution No. 4.373/2014 by a duly registered investor or a holder of common shares, who applies for and obtains a new electronic registration, that holder may not be able to obtain and remit abroad U.S. Dollars or other foreign currencies upon the disposition of the common shares, or distributions with respect thereto. In addition, if the foreign investor resides in a no favorable tax regime country or is not an investor registered pursuant to Resolution No. 4.373/2014, the investor will also be subject to less favorable tax treatment.

E.Taxation

Brazilian Tax Considerations

The following discussion contains a description of the material Brazilian income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares or ADSs by a holder which is non-resident or not domiciled in Brazil for Brazilian tax purposes (“Non-Brazilian Holder”). It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all Brazilian tax considerations that may be applicable to any particular Non-Brazilian Holder.

This summary is based upon tax laws of Brazil and administrative and judicial decisions as in effect on the date of this annual report, which are subject to changes (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. You should consult your own tax advisors as to the Brazilian tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale of our common shares or ADSs.

Although there is no treaty for the avoidance of double taxation between Brazil and the United States, the tax authorities of the two countries have been having discussions that may culminate in such a treaty. No assurance can be given, however, as to whether or when a treaty will enter into force or how it will affect the U.S. holders of our common shares or ADSs.

For purposes of Brazilian taxation, there are two types of Non-Brazilian Holders of common shares or ADSs: (a) Non-Brazilian Holders registered before the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM to invest in Brazil in accordance with Central Bank of Brazil Resolution No. 4,373/14 (“4,373/2014 Holders”); and (b) other Non-Brazilian Holders, which include Non-Brazilian Holders who invest in Brazilian companies under Law No. 4,131/1962. As a general rule, 4,373/2014 Holders are subject to a favorable tax regime in Brazil, as described below.

Central Bank of Brazil Resolution No. 4,373/2014 permits foreign investors, defined to include individuals, legal entities, mutual funds and other collective investment entities, domiciled or headquartered abroad to invest in almost all financial assets and to engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that certain legal and regulatory requirements are fulfilled. The foreign investors must (a) appoint at least one representative in Brazil with powers to perform actions relating to the foreign investment; (b) file the appropriate foreign investor registration form; (c) obtain the register as a foreign investor before the Brazilian securities commission; and (d) obtain the register of the foreign investment before the Central Bank of Brazil.

Taxation of Gains

Gains realized on the disposal of common shares are subject to income tax in Brazil, regardless of whether the sale or the disposal is made by a Non-Brazilian Holder to a resident or person domiciled in Brazil. This is due to the fact that the common shares can be considered assets located in Brazil for purposes of Law No. 10,833/2003.

According to our interpretation of the applicable law, capital gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposal of common shares sold on a Brazilian stock exchange (which includes a transaction carried out on the organized over-the-counter market) are:

●exempt from income tax when realized by a Non-Resident Holder that (i) is a 4,373 Holder, and (ii) is not resident or domiciled in a country or location which is defined as a Favorable Tax Jurisdiction (as described below);

●arguably subject to income tax at a 15% rate in the case of gains realized by (A) a Non-Brazilian Holder that (1) is not a 4,373 Holder and (2) is not resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction; or by (B) a Non-Brazilian Holder that (1) is a 4,373 Holder and (2) is resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction; and

100

●subject to income tax at a rate of up to 25% in the case of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that is not a 4,373 Holder, and is resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction.

Any other gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder on a sale or disposal of the shares that is not carried out on a Brazilian stock exchange are:

●subject to income tax at the rate of 15% when realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (i) is a 4,373 Holder and (ii) is not resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below), although different interpretations may be raised to sustain the application of the progressive rates set forth by Law No. 13,259/2016;

●subject to income tax at progressive rates ranging from 15% to 22.5% (15.0% for the part of the gain that does not exceed R$5.0 million, 17.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$5.0 million but does not exceed R$10.0 million, 20.0% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$10.0 million but does not exceed R$30.0 million and 22.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$30.0 million) in case of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that (1) is not a 4,373 Holder and (2) is not resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below); and

●subject to income tax at a 25% rate in case of gains realized by a Non-Brazilian Holder that is resident or domiciled in a Low or Nil Tax Jurisdiction (as defined below).

If these gains are related to transactions conducted on the Brazilian non-organized over-the-counter market with intermediation, withholding income tax of 0.005% on the sale value will also apply and can be used to offset the income tax due on the capital gain.

In the case of a redemption of securities or a capital reduction by a Brazilian corporation, such as ourselves, the positive difference between the amount effectively received by the Non-Resident Holder and the proportional acquisition cost of the common shares redeemed is treated, for tax purposes, as capital gains derived from the sale or exchange of common shares not carried out on a Brazilian stock exchange, and is subject to the same tax treatment above described.

The exercise of preemptive rights relating to our common shares will not be subject to Brazilian taxation. Any gains realized by a Non-Resident Holder on the sale or disposal or assignment of preemptive rights relating to our common shares will be subject to Brazilian income tax according to the same rules applicable to the sale or disposal of common shares (see above). Tax authorities may attempt to tax such gains even when sale or assignment of such rights takes place outside Brazil, based on the provisions of Law No. 10,833/03.

There is no assurance that the current preferential treatment for Non-Brazilian Holders of common shares under CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014 will continue in the future or that it will not be changed in the future. Reductions in the rate of tax provided for by Brazil’s tax treaties do not apply to the tax on gains realized on sales or exchange of common shares.

Sale of ADSs by non-Brazilian holder to another non-Brazilian holder

Gains realized outside Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposal of ADSs should not be subject to Brazilian tax. As mentioned above, according to Law No. 10,833/2003 of December 2003, the disposal of assets located in Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder, whether to other Non-Brazilian Holder or Brazilian holders, may become subject to taxation in Brazil. Although we believe that the ADSs do not fall within the definition of assets located in Brazil for the purposes of Law no. 10,833, considering the general and unclear scope of it and the lack of definitive judicial court ruling to act as the leading case in respect thereto, we are unable to predict whether such understanding will ultimately prevail in the courts of Brazil.

In case the ADSs are considered assets located in Brazil, gains on disposal of ADSs by a Non-Brazilian Holder to a resident in Brazil or even to a Non-Brazilian resident may be subject to income tax in Brazil according to the rules described below for ADSs or the tax rules applicable to common shares, as applicable.

101

Exchange of ADSs for common shares

Although there is no clear regulatory guidance, the withdrawal of ADSs in exchange for common shares is not subject to Brazilian income tax to the extent that, as described above, ADSs do not fall within the definition of assets located in Brazil for the purposes of Law No. 10,833/2003.

Upon receipt of the underlying common shares in exchange for ADSs, Non-Brazilian Holders may also elect to register with the Central Bank the U.S. dollar amount of such preferred shares or common shares as a foreign portfolio investment under Resolution No. 4,373/2014 or as a foreign direct investment under Law No. 4,131/1962.

Exchange of common shares for ADSs

Regarding the deposit of common shares in exchange for ADSs, the difference between the acquisition cost of the common shares and the market price of the common shares may be subject to Brazilian income tax at progressive rates that may vary from 15.0% to 22.5% (15.0% for the part of the gain that does not exceed R$5.0 million, 17.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$5.0 million but does not exceed R$10.0 million, 20.0% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$10.0 million but does not exceed R$30.0 million and 22.5% for the part of the gain that exceeds R$30.0 million), except for Non-Brazilian Holders located in a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction, which, in this case, would be subject to income tax at a flat rate of 25.0%. In some circumstances, there may be arguments to claim that this taxation is not applicable in the case of a Non-Brazilian Holder that is a 4,373 Holder and is not a resident of or domiciled in a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction.

Taxation of Dividends

As a result of the tax legislation adopted on December 26, 1995, dividends based on profits generated after January 1, 1996, including dividends paid in kind, payable by us regarding common shares or ADSs, are exempt from withholding income tax. Dividends relating to profits generated prior to January 1, 1996 may be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at varying rates, depending on the year the profits were generated.

Beginning in 2008, the Brazilian accounting rules were significantly modified in order to align them with IFRS. After the issuance of such new rules, a transitory tax regime (regime tributário de transição), or RTT, was created mainly to ensure neutrality of the new accounting rules in connection with the calculation and payment of corporate taxes on income. Thus, according to the RTT, Brazilian companies had, only for purposes of calculation of their taxable profit, to use the accounting rules and criteria that existed until December 2007.

As a result of the application of the RTT, the accounting profit of a Brazilian company might be significantly higher (or lower) than its taxable profit. Although this specific matter has not been expressly regulated by law, the Brazilian tax authorities issued a normative instruction stating that the amount of dividends paid in excess of the profit of a company determined as per the accounting rules and criteria that existed until December 2007 should be subject to taxation.

On April 14, 2014, Law No. 12,973 was issued to, among other, terminate the Transitory Regime (RTT) and regulate how corporate taxable income should be assessed taking as a starting point the accounting profit calculated according to the new accounting rules introduced as from 2008. Such Law states that dividends related to all accounting profits generated between January 2008 and 31 December 2013 in excess of the established methods and criteria in force in December 31, 2007, are not subject to withholding tax, and does not integrate the calculation of income tax and social contribution. With reference to 2014, the law is not clear, but tax authorities state that dividends paid in excess of the profit of a company determined as per the accounting rules and criteria that existed until December 2007 should be subject to withholding income tax at the rate of 15%, or 25% if the Non-Brazilian Holder is domiciled in a country or location that does not impose income tax or where the maximum income tax rate is lower than 20% (“Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction”). As of 2015, in view of the termination of the RTT, there would be no differences between the accounting and the taxable profit, so that dividends generated since 2015 should be fully paid with no Brazilian withholding tax implications.

102

Interest Attributed to Shareholders’ Equity

According to Brazilian laws and our bylaws, we may opt to distribute income as interest attributed to shareholders’ equity as an alternative to the payment of dividends.

Distribution of an interest on equity charge attributed to shareholders’ equity regarding common shares or ADSs as an alternative form of payment to shareholders, including non-Brazilian holders of common shares or ADSs, is subject to Brazilian withholding income tax at the rate of 15% or 25%, in case of a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction holder.

Such payments, subject to certain limitations and requirements, are deductible for Brazilian income tax purposes. This interest is limited to the daily pro rata variation of the federal government’s long-term interest rate, as determined by the Central Bank from time to time, and cannot exceed the greater of:

(a)  50% of net income (after the social contribution on net profits and before the provision for corporate income tax, and the amounts attributable to shareholders as interest on net equity) for the period with respect to which the payment is made; or

(b)  50% of the sum of retained earnings and earnings reserves as of the date of the beginning of the period with respect to which the payment is made.

Tax on foreign exchange transactions (“IOF/Exchange”)

Pursuant to Decree No. 6,306/2007, dated December 14, 2007, as amended, or Decree No. 6,306/2007, the conversion of Brazilian currency into foreign currency (e.g., for purposes of paying dividends and interest) and the conversion of foreign currency into Brazilian currency may be subject to the Tax on Foreign Exchange Transactions or IOF/Exchange. Currently, for most exchange transactions, the rate of IOF/Exchange is 0.38%. However, exchange transactions carried out for the inflow of funds in Brazil for investments in the Brazilian financial and capital market made by a foreign investor (including a Non-Resident Holder, as applicable) are subject to IOF/Exchange at a 0%. The IOF/Exchange rate will also be 0% for the outflow of funds from Brazil related to these types of investments, including payments of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity and the repatriation of funds invested in the Brazilian market.

On March 15, 2022, the Decree 10,997/2022 was published, establishing an immediate reduction of the IOF/Exchange for some transactions, such as the reduction of the rate applicable to short-term foreign loan operations to zero. In other cases, however, the rate reduction is gradual over the next years and it is expected that the IOF-Exchange rate will be decreased to zero for all transactions as of 2029.

The Brazilian government may increase the rate of the IOF/Exchange to a maximum of 25.0% of the amount of the foreign exchange transaction at any time, but such an increase would not apply retroactively.

Tax on transactions involving bonds and securities (“IOF/Bonds Tax”)

The IOF may also be imposed on any transactions involving bonds and securities, including those carried out on Brazilian futures and commodities stock exchanges. As a general rule, the rate of this tax for transactions involving common shares or ADSs is currently zero. The executive branch, also by a Presidential Decree, may increase the IOF rate by up to 1.5% per day, but only with respect to future transactions.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

This summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that are likely to be relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares or ADSs by a U.S. holder (as defined below). This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, this summary assumes the deposit agreements governing our shares and ADSs, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.

103

This summary is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular investor’s decision to purchase, hold, or dispose of our shares or ADSs. In particular, this summary is directed only to U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold our shares or ADSs as capital assets and does not address tax consequences to U.S. holders who may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, brokers or dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, financial institutions, life insurance companies, tax exempt entities, regulated investment entities, entities that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or partners therein), holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our shares, by vote or value, persons holding our shares or ADSs as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or a straddle, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, or U.S. expatriates. Moreover, this summary does not address state, local or foreign taxes, the U.S. federal estate and gift taxes, or the Medicare contribution tax applicable to net investment income of certain non-corporate U.S. holders, or alternative minimum tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of our shares or ADSs.

As used below, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our shares or ADSs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a citizen or individual resident of the United States or a U.S. domestic corporation or that otherwise is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of such shares or ADSs.

You should consult your own tax advisors about the consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our shares or ADSs, including the relevance to your particular situation of the considerations discussed below and any consequences arising under foreign, state, local or other tax laws.

Treatment of our ADSs for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

In general, a holder of our ADSs will be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the beneficial owner of the underlying shares that are represented by those ADSs.

Taxation of Dividends

Subject to the discussion below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the gross amount of any distribution of cash or property with respect to our shares or ADSs that is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be includible in your taxable income as ordinary dividend income on the day on which you receive the dividend, in the case of our shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of our ADSs, and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. We do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should expect that distributions generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. holder, dividends paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars generally will be includible in your income in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day you receive the dividends, in the case of our shares, or the date the depositary receives the dividends, in the case of our ADSs. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any foreign currency received that is converted into U.S. dollars after it is received.

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term positions, the U.S. dollar amount of dividends received by an individual with respect to our shares or ADSs will be subject to taxation at a preferential rate if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on our shares or ADSs will be treated as qualified dividends if:

● the shares and ADSs on which the dividend is paid are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; and

● we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”).

104

Our ADSs are listed on the NYSE and our ADSs should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. As described in more detail under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” below, based on our audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2021 and 2020 taxable years and will not be a PFIC in our current taxable year. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.

Because our shares are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange, dividends received with respect to our shares that are not represented by ADSs may not be treated as qualified dividends. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in respect of our shares.

Dividend distributions with respect to our shares or ADSs generally will be treated as “passive category” income from sources outside the United States for purposes of determining a U.S. holder’s U.S. foreign tax credit limitation. Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in the Code and the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, a U.S. holder may be able to claim a foreign tax credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability in respect of any Brazilian income taxes withheld at the appropriate rate applicable to the U.S. holder from a dividend paid to such U.S. holder. Alternatively, the U.S. holder may deduct such Brazilian income taxes from its U.S. federal taxable income, provided that the U.S. holder elects to deduct rather than credit all foreign income taxes for the relevant taxable year. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

U.S. holders that receive distributions of additional shares or rights to subscribe for our shares as part of a pro rata distribution to all our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of the distributions, unless the U.S. holder has the right to receive cash or property, in which case the U.S. holder will be treated as if it received cash equal to the fair market value of the distribution.

Taxation of Dispositions of our Shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” if a U.S. holder realizes gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our shares or ADSs, that gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a U.S. holder that is an individual generally is subject to taxation at a preferential rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Gain, if any, realized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of our shares or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. For years beginning after December 28, 2021, any Brazilian tax imposed on the sale or disposition of shares or ADS is unlikely to be treated as a creditable foreign income tax.

U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, our shares or ADSs.

105

If a U.S. holder sells or otherwise disposes of our shares or ADSs in exchange for currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount realized generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the currency received at the spot rate on the date of sale or other disposition (or, if the shares or ADSs are traded on an established securities market at such time, in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis U.S. holders, the settlement date). An accrual basis U.S. holder that does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot exchange rate on the settlement date will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot exchange rates in effect on the date of the sale or other disposition and the settlement date. A U.S. holder generally will have a tax basis in the currency received equal to the U.S. dollar value of the currency received at the spot rate on the settlement date. Any currency gain or loss realized on the settlement date or the subsequent sale, conversion, or other disposition of the non-U.S. currency received for a different U.S. dollar amount generally will be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss, and will not be eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains. If an accrual basis U.S. holder makes the election described in the first sentence of this paragraph, it must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss realized with respect to any currency received in a sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs. Deposits and withdrawals of shares by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

Special U.S. tax rules apply to companies that are considered to be PFICs. We will be classified as a PFIC in a particular taxable year if, either:

● 75 percent or more of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or

● the value of our assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) that produce or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50 percent.

For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, gains from certain commodities transactions, rents, royalties and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets that produce passive income.

We believe, and the following discussion assumes, that we were not a PFIC for our taxable year ending December 31, 2021 and that, based on the present composition of our income and assets and the manner in which we conduct our business, we will not be a PFIC in our current taxable year. However, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is a factual determination made annually, and our status could change depending, among other things, upon changes in the composition of our gross income and the relative quarterly average value of our assets. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will not be a PFIC in the current year or in future years. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold our shares or ADSs, you generally would be subject to additional taxes on certain distributions and any gain realized from the sale or other taxable disposition of our shares or ADSs regardless of whether we continued to be a PFIC in any subsequent year, unless you elect to mark your shares or ADSs to market for tax purposes on an annual basis. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor as to our status as a PFIC and the tax consequences to you of such status.

Foreign Financial Asset Reporting

Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or US$75,000 at any time during the taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on IRS Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. The understatement of income attributable to “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of US$5,000 extends the statute of limitations with respect to the tax return to six years after the return was filed. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of these rules, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

106

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our shares or ADSs to a U.S. holder generally may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

A holder that is a foreign corporation or a non-resident alien individual may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish its exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, correction indexes and prices of commodities that may affect the financial results of Suzano. In order to manage the impacts in the results in adverse scenarios, we have provided procedures for the monitoring of political exposure for the implementation of risk management.

The policies establish the limits and instruments to be implemented with the goal of: (i) protection of cash flow due to currency devaluation, (ii) interest rate exposure mitigation, (iii) reduction in the impacts of commodity price fluctuation and (iv) exchange of debt indexes.

In the process of market risk management, the identification, evaluation and implementation, as well as the contracting of financial instruments for risk protection are performed. The development management area accompanies the fulfillment of the limits established in our policies.

Exchange Rate Risk

As a predominantly exporting company, our results are exposed to exchange variations. As such, fluctuations in the exchange rate, especially with regards to the U.S. dollars, may impact our results.

107

We issue debt securities in the international markets as an important part of the capital structure that is also exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate. The mitigation of these risks comes from our own exports, which creates a natural hedge. Furthermore, we enter in derivatives transactions in the financial markets, including using strategies with options, as a way to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of our income. The foreign exchange hedging strategy follows our financial policies.

The net exposure of assets and liabilities in foreign currency, which is substantially in U.S dollars, is set forth below:

	December 31,
	2021	2020	2019
	(in millions of R$)
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	13,412.0	6,370.2	2,527.8

Liabilities for asset acquisitions and subsidiaries	(273.2)	(313.0)	(288.2)

	(52,335.1)	(57,014.9)	(44,154.5)

Sensitivity Analysis – Foreign Exchange Exposure

For purposes of risk analysis, we use scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that the variations in long and short positions, indexed in foreign currency, may suffer. We take as a base case the values recognized in accounting on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and, from there onwards, appreciations and depreciations are simulated, between 25% and 50%, of the real compared to other foreign currencies. The following table shows the probable values and the variations based on them.

	December 31, 2021
	As of	Effect on income and equity
			Remote
		Possible Increase	Increase
	Probable	(∆25%)	(∆50%)
	(in millions of R$)
Cash and cash equivalents	13,412.0	3,353.0	6,706.0
Marketable securities	2,394.7	598.7	1,197.3
Trade accounts receivable	5,043.5	1,260.9	2,521.7
Trade accounts payables	(605.6)	(151.4)	(302.8)
Loans and financing	(65,972.3)	(16.493.1)	(32,986.2)
Liabilities for assets acquisitions and subsidiaries	(273.2)	(68.3)	(136.6)
Derivatives Non-deliverable forward (“NDF”)	(6.7)	(41.8)	(83.6)
Derivatives Options	(187.8)	(4,343.1)	(10,141.9)
Derivatives Swap	(6,357.7)	(4,361.3)	(8,722.6)

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to commodity prices reflected primarily in the sale price of pulp in the international market. Increases and decreases in production capacities in the global market, as well as the macroeconomic conditions may impact our operational results.

108

It is not possible to guarantee that prices will remain at levels that are beneficial to our results. We may use financial instruments to mitigate the sales price of part of the production, but in certain cases the employment of price protection for pulp may not be available.

We are also exposed to international oil prices, reflected in the logistical costs of transportation and commercialization.

On December 31, 2021 the Company did not held a position to hedge its logistics costs.

Sensitivity Analysis – Exposure to Commodity Prices

We did not have open assets indexed to commodities in 2021.

Derivatives by Contract Type

As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the open positions of derivatives negotiated in the over-the-counter market, grouped by class of asset and reference index, are represented below.

ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, has agreed to reimburse us for expenses it incurs that are related to the establishment and maintenance of our ADS program. The depositary has agreed to reimburse us for our continuing and annual stock exchange listing fees. It has also agreed to pay the standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs, and to reimburse us annually for certain investor relations programs or special promotional activities. In certain instances, the depositary has agreed to provide additional payments to us based on any applicable performance indicators relating to the ADR facility. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse us, but the amount of reimbursement available to us is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors.

The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect is annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act under Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered in this annual report, has concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was being recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and was accumulated for and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting: Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s Statutory Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with and in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with and in compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our audited consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, is based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.  

Audit of the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting: Our independent registered public accounting firm, PriceWaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda., has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report as of December 31, 2021, which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16.A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Carlos Biedermann, a member of our audit committee, is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Sarbanes-Oxley and related regulations.

ITEM 16.B. CODE OF ETHICS

Our board of directors has adopted a code of conduct (“Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our board members, suppliers and employees, including the members of our financial department, our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and our chief accounting officer. No waiver, either express or implied, of provisions of our Code of Conduct was granted to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or chief accounting officer in 2021. A copy of our Code of Conduct has been filed as Exhibit 11.1 to this annual report.

Our Code of Conduct addresses, among others, the following topics:

● honest and ethical conduct, treating conflicts and misconduct with absolute secrecy;

● full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to public communications made by us;

● compliance with laws, internal procedures and rules and also rules established by Brazilian and international capital market regulatory agencies; and

● the prompt internal reporting of breaches related to our Code to the Ombudsman.

In order to keep the highest governance standards, every two years we review our Code of Conduct to assure that the document is up-to-date and follows best practices and regulations. In 2021, we approved the last revision of our Code of Conduct. All of our employees confirmed their commitment with our Code of Conduct and to undertake to comply with its principles and guidelines while performing their professional activities by performing mandatory training

Additionally, we have conducted awareness actions in order to enforce the importance of business integrity, compliance and the governance instruments – our Code of Conduct and the Ombudsman. Video-learning format regarding the anti-corruption policy and our Code of Conduct have been given to all employees in 2021, in order to reinforce the main guidelines and practices established by our Code of Conduct. This training program was mandatory for all of our employees and at the end of the training each employee signs the training electronically.

ITEM 16.C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table sets forth by category of service the total fees for services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

All Other Fees	—	—
Total	14,803.6	23,083.4

112

Audit Fees

Audit fees in 2021 and 2020 consisted of the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. (PCAOB ID 1351) in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, the reviews of our quarterly financial statements, and the audit of the statutory financial statements of our subsidiaries. Audit fees also include fees for services that can only be reasonably provided by our independent auditors, such as the issuance of comfort and consent letters and the review of periodic documents filed with the SEC.

Tax Fees

Tax fees consisted of the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. in connection with the consulting services for recovery of tax credits abroad and others.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Neither our board of directors nor our audit committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of our registered public accounting firm for services. Our board of directors expressly approves on a case-by-case basis any engagement of our registered public accounting firm for audit and non-audit services provided to us or our subsidiaries. Any services provided by PriceWaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be pre-approved by our board of directors in advance of any engagement. It is within the scope of our audit committee to provide recommendations to our board of directors regarding any such engagement.

ITEM 16.D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

Under the listed company audit committee rules of the NYSE and the SEC, we must comply with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, which requires that we establish an audit committee composed of members of the board of directors that meets specified requirements. Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), a foreign private issuer is not required to have an audit committee equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee if the foreign private issuer has a body established and selected pursuant to home country legal or listing provisions expressly requiring or permitting such a body, and if the body meets the requirements that (i) it be separate from the full board, (ii) its members not be elected by management, (iii) no executive officer be a member of the body, and (iv) home country legal or listing provisions set forth standards for the independence of the members of the body. We believe that our statutory audit committee complies with these requirements, and we rely on the exemption provided by Rule 10A-3(c)(3) under the Exchange Act. See Item 6.A. “Directors and Senior Management—Audit Committee” for a description of our statutory audit committee.

ITEM 16.E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, neither any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, nor we have purchased any of our equity securities.

ITEM 16.F. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

Not applicable.

113

ITEM 16.G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Significant Differences between our Corporate Governance Practices and NYSE Corporate Governance Standards

We are subject to the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. As a foreign private issuer, the standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to U.S. listed companies. Under the NYSE rules, we are required only to: (i) have an audit committee or audit board, pursuant to an applicable exemption available to foreign private issuers, that meets certain requirements, as discussed below, (ii) provide prompt certification by our chief executive officer of any material noncompliance with any corporate governance rules, and (iii) provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE corporate governance practice required to be followed by U.S. listed companies. The significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required for U.S. listed companies follows below.

Majority of Independent Directors

The NYSE rules require that a majority of a company’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Independence is defined by various criteria, including the absence of a material relationship between the director and the listed company. Under Brazilian law, according to the provisions of the Novo Mercado, at least 20% or two of the members of our board of directors (whichever is the greater) must be independent directors, as defined under Brazilian law. Currently, our board of directors consists of nine members, five of which are independent members.

Executive Sessions

NYSE rules require that the non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The Brazilian Corporation Law does not have a similar provision. According to the Brazilian Corporation Law, up to one third of the members of a company’s board of directors can be elected by management. In our case, none of our directors serve both as executive officer and director, simultaneously. There is no requirement under Brazilian law that our directors meet regularly in the absence of our executive officers. As a result, our directors do not typically meet in executive sessions.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and detailing its responsibilities, which include, among others, identifying and selecting qualified board member nominees and developing a set of corporate governance principles applicable to a company. We are not required under applicable Brazilian law to have a nominating committee/corporate governance committee, and accordingly, to date, we have not established such a committee. Our directors are elected by our shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting. Our corporate governance practices are adopted by all members of our board directors.

Compensation Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s required purpose and detailing its required responsibilities, which include, among other things, reviewing corporate goals relevant to CEO compensation, evaluating CEO performance and approving CEO compensation levels and recommending to the board non CEO compensation, incentive compensation and equity based plans. We are not required under applicable Brazilian law to have a compensation committee, although we have established an advisory committee, comprised of board members and independent members, to advise on certain of these matters. Under the Brazilian Corporation Law, the total amount available for compensation of our directors and executive officers and for profit sharing payments to our executive officers must be established by our shareholders at the annual general meeting. Our board of directors, based on recommendations and analysis of the compensation committee, is responsible for determining the compensation and profit-sharing of our executive officers, as well as the compensation of our board and committee members, which is established according to market standards and internal rules of compensation

114

Audit Committee

Under NYSE Rule 303A.06 and the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the SEC, domestic listed companies are required to have an audit committee consisting entirely of independent directors that otherwise complies with Rule 10A-3. In addition, a company’s audit committee must have a written charter that addresses the matters outlined in NYSE Rule 303.A.06(c), have an internal audit function and otherwise fulfill the requirements of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3. Under the B3 listing rules for its Novo Mercado segment, we are required to have a “statutory audit committee” that complies with the CVM rules. The statutory audit committee is an advisory committee of the board of directors, and provides assistance in matters involving accounting, internal controls, financial reporting and compliance. The statutory audit committee also recommends the appointment of our independent auditors to our board of directors and evaluates the effectiveness of internal financial and legal compliance controls. The statutory audit committee is not equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee. Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(c)(3), which provides for an exemption under the rules of the SEC regarding the audit committees of listed companies, a foreign private issuer is not required to have an audit committee equivalent to or comparable with a U.S. audit committee if the foreign private issuer has a body established and selected pursuant to home country legal or listing provisions expressly requiring or permitting such a body, and if the body meets the requirements that (i) it be separate from the full board, (ii) its members not be elected by management, (iii) no executive officer be a member of the body, and (iv) home country legal or listing provisions set forth standards for the independence of the members of the body. See Item 6.A, “Directors and Senior Management—Audit Committee” for a description of our statutory audit committee.

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans

NYSE rules require that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exceptions. Under Brazilian corporate law, shareholders must approve all stock option plans. In addition, any issuance of new shares that exceeds our authorized share capital is subject to shareholder approval.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. We have not adopted any formal corporate governance guidelines beyond those required by applicable Brazilian law. We believe that the corporate governance guidelines applicable to us under Brazilian corporate law are consistent with the guidelines established by the NYSE.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. Applicable Brazilian law does not have a similar requirement. We believe our code substantially addresses the matters required to be addressed by the NYSE rules. A copy of our Code of Conduct has been filed as Exhibit 11.1 to this annual report. For a further discussion of our Code of Conduct, see Item 16.B “Code of Ethics.”

Internal Audit Function

NYSE rules require that listed companies maintain an internal audit function to provide management and the audit committee with ongoing assessments of the company’s risk management processes and system of internal control. Brazilian law does not require that companies maintain an internal audit function. However, as an issuer on the New York Stock Exchange, we maintain an internal audit function. Our internal audit function is under the supervision of our statutory audit committee and is responsible for independently evaluating corporate, forest and industrial processes, verifying compliance with standards and policies adopted by us and analyzing possible cases of irregularities, such as fraud, bribery, corruption, conflicts of interest, insider information, embezzlement and damage to property.

The internal audit considers a risk-based approach and the views of our management and members of our audit committee. The audit results are reported to our chief executive officer and our statutory audit committee.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Suzano S.A.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Suzano S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in

F-1

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill impairment test -
Pulp Cash-Generating Unit

As described in Notes 3.2.20 and 16.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill associated with the Pulp Cash-Generating unit ("CGU") was BRL 7,897,051 thousand as of December 31, 2021, arising from Fibria acquisition in January, 2019. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the value in use of the CGU to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Value in use is estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management's cash flow projections for Pulp CGU included significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp prices and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment test of Pulp CGU is a critical audit matter are there was the significant judgment by management when developing the value in use measurement for the CGU. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's cash flow projections and the significant assumptions net average pulp prices and discount rate. In addition, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated discounted cash flow model and discount rate.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's goodwill impairment test, including controls over the valuation of the Company's Pulp CGU. These procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for developing the value in use estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the net average pulp prices and the discount rate. Evaluating management's assumptions relating to net average pulp prices involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the current and past performance of the CGU, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, (iv) assess and evaluate the objectivity, competence and capacity of the experts engaged by management in developing the value in use measurement of the CGU. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's discounted cash flow model and the discount rate.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

As described in Notes 3.2.21 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated deferred tax assets balance recorded in non-current assets was BRL 8,729,929 thousand as of December 31, 2021, arising from tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences, based on projections of future

F-2

taxable results. Management's cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the deferred tax assets is a critical audit matter are there was the significant judgment by management when estimating the recoverable amount of deferred tax assets and the timing when tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences will occur. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management's cash flow projections and significant assumptions, related to the net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. In addition, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated cash flow model that supports the projections of future taxable results.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's projections, including controls over the valuation of the recoverable amount of deferred tax assets. These procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for estimating the recoverable amount; evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow model that supports the projections of future taxable results; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. Evaluating management's assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the current and past performance of the Company, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax

As described in Notes 3.2.24 and 20.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax was BRL 2,837,864 thousand (net of judicial deposits) as of December 31, 2021. The Company recognizes liabilities in the consolidated financial statements for the resolution of pending litigation when management determines that a loss is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No liability for an estimated loss is accrued in the consolidated financial statements for unfavorable outcomes when, after assessing the information available, (i) management concludes that it is not probable that a loss will be incurred in any of the pending litigation; or (ii) management is unable to estimate the loss for any of the pending matters.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to provision for judicial liabilities relating to tax is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgement by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred and when determining whether a reasonable estimate of the loss for each claim can be made, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and effort in evaluating management's assessment of the loss contingencies associated with litigation claims. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the likelihood of loss being incurred.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's evaluation of tax litigation claims, including controls over determining whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These procedures also included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel, evaluating the reasonableness of management's assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Company's litigation contingency disclosures. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the likelihood of loss being incurred.

Valuation of biological assets

As described in Notes 3.2.17 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated biological assets balance was BRL 12,248,732 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and are measured at fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is estimated by management using a discounted cash flow model. Management's cash flow projections included significant judgments and assumptions relating to gross average sale price of eucalyptus and the average annual growth (IMA) of biological assets.

F-3

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of biological assets is a critical audit matter are (i) there was a high degree of auditor subjectivity in applying our procedures relating to the fair value measurement of the biological assets due to the significant amount of judgment required by management when developing these estimates; (ii) significant audit effort was required in assessing the significant assumptions relating to average annual growth (IMA) and gross average sale price of eucalyptus and (iii) professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained regarding the estimated discount cash flow model and discount rate.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the completeness of data and the model used to measure the fair value of the biological assets. Our procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, related to the average annual growth (IMA) and the gross average eucalyptus sale price. Evaluating management's assumptions relating to average annual growth (IMA) and gross average eucalyptus sale price involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering; (i) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (ii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company's discounted cash flow model and the discount rate.

1 The management of Suzano S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

2 The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s Statutory Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with and in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with and in compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

3 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

4 The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, is based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

(i) Protection for people: in order to provide security to its employees and third parties workers on site, Suzano adopted a series of measures to minimize exposure of its team and / or mitigate exposure risks.

(ii) Protection of society: one of Suzano's three cultural drivers is: “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Suzano has adopted a series of measures to protect society, including:

● Donation of toilet paper, napkins and disposable diapers produced by the Company for needy regions.

● Acquisition of 159 respirators and 1,000,000 hospital masks for donation to the Federal and State Governments.

● Participation in joint action with Positivo Tecnologia, Klabin, Flextronics and Embraer, to support the Brazilian company Magnamed, in the production of respirators to deliver to the Federal Government. Suzano's disbursement in this action was R$9,584 in 2020.

(iii) Protection for business: to date, the Company continues with its normal operations and a crisis management committee has been implemented.

The paper and pulp sector were recognized by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as by several countries, as a producer of goods essential to society. Therefore, in order to fulfill the responsibility arising from the essentiality of the business, Suzano has taken measures to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been advancing its inventories of finished goods product bringing them closer to their customers to mitigate possible risks of disruption in the factories' supply chain and the sale of their products.

The current situation resulting from the COVID-19 also implies a higher credit risk, especially for its customers in the paper business. Thus, the Company has also been monitoring the evolution of this risk and implementing measures to mitigate it, and so far, there has been no significant financial impact.

As previously disclosed during the year 2020, the Company temporarily stopped production for 30 days on April 27, 2020 and May 1, 2020 on the paper production lines of the Mucuri and Rio Verde industrial units, respectively, however, the activities of the factories were resumed at normal level at the beginning of July 2020 and have been maintained until now.

Finally, it is worth noting that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made and maintained a vast communication effort to its main stakeholders, ensuring transparency and adequate flow of information about dynamics of the social and economic conjuncture.

The effects of Spinnova’s capitalization arising from the IPO, generated the dilution of interest, and consequent gain on the remeasurement of the investment in the amount of EUR19,495 (equivalent to R$115,562 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR1,541 (equivalent to R$9,134 on the transaction date) and investment after IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021), according to the new interest percentage. The gain was recorded as a debit under investments against income from associates and joint ventures, considering that investment was already recognized by the equity method, as an associate, which remained after the effect of dilution, in view of the assessment made by the Management, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 28 – Investment in  associates and joint ventures, from its significant influence on the governance and management of the associate, which has not had significant changes due to the IPO process.

As part of the transaction, the Company proportionally realized the goodwill in the amount of R$24,569, being a credit recorded in the investments against the loss from associates and joint ventures and the effect of exchange rate variation on Spinnova’s investment abroad in the amount of R$746, being recorded as a debit under the heading of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement.

On July 1, 2021, in connection with the IPO, Spinnova issued a supplementary share option, subscribing 1,971,090 new shares and raising EUR15,078 (equivalent to R$89,375 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, which resulted, again, in the dilution of the

interest from 19.91% to 19.14%, as well as in a gain on the changing the interest percentage of the investment in the amount of EUR2,098 (equivalent to R$12,436 on the transaction date), arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021) and investment after the IPO in the amount of EUR23,133 (equivalent to R$137,132 on July 1, 2021), and proportional realization of the goodwill in the amount of R$2,601, being the effects recorded in the investments against to income from associates and joint ventures statement and the effect of exchange variation on Spinnova’s investment abroad in the amount of R$79, being recorded in the caption of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of the events described above, the Company recorded a gain of R$100,827 in the statement of income for the year as income from associates and joint ventures.

However, the uncertainty inherent to these judgements, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future periods. The accounting practices requiring a higher level of judgment and which are more complex, as well as areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant, are disclosed in note 3.2.34.

The consolidated financial statements was prepared on historical cost basis, except for the following material items recognized:

(i) derivative and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

(ii) share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value;

(iii) biological assets measured at fair value; and

(iv) deemed cost of property, plant and equipment.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries on the same base date, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all consolidated companies.

There was no change in relation to such policies and methods for calculating estimates, except for the new accounting policies presented in note 3.1, adopted as of January 1, 2021 and whose estimated impact was disclosed in the annual financial statements of December 31, 2020.

3.1. New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies adopted

The new standards and interpretations issued, until the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when it come into force and does not expect to have a material impact on the financial statements.

3.1.1. Interest Rate Reform – IAS 39 / IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 - Phase 2 (Applicable on/or after January 1, 2021, early adoption permitted)

The adoption of phase 2, it is summarized as follows:

(i) changes in contractual cash flows: practical expedient that allows to replace, as a consequence of the reform, the effective interest rate of a financial asset or financial liability with a new economically equivalent rate, without derecognition of the contract;

(ii) hedge accounting requirements: end of exemptions for evaluating the effectiveness of hedge accounting relationships (Phase 1); and

(iii) disclosure: requirements about the disclosure of risks to which the Company is exposed by the reform, risk management and evolution of the Interbank Offered Rate (“IBORs”) transition.

The Company evaluated the content of this pronouncement and does not expect to have significant impacts on its debts and derivatives linked to LIBOR (note 4.4.2).

3.1.2. Lease – IFRS 16 - Update of the original issued on June 16, 2020 (Applicable on/or after April 1, 2021, early adoption permitted)

On March 31, 2021, this pronouncement was changed because of the benefits granted to lessee due COVID-19 under lease agreements. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impacts, for the clauses of the current lease agreements remained unchanged.

3.2. Accounting policies adopted

3.2.1. Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies. The Company consolidates all subsidiaries over

F-19

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

which it has direct or indirect control, that is, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns on its investment with the subsidiary and has the capacity and ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary.

Additionally, all transactions and balances between Suzano and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, as well as unrealized gains or losses arising from these transactions, net of tax effects. Non-controlling interest is highlighted.

3.2.2. Subsidiaries

These all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity, generally through a majority voting rights. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns on its investment with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.  

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

3.2.3. Joint operations

These are all entities in which the Company maintains the contractually established control over its economic activity and exists only when the strategic, financial and operational decisions regarding the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.

In the consolidated financial statements, the balance of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized proportionally to the interest in joint operation.

3.2.4. Associated and joint ventures

These are all entities are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the equity method, being increased or reduced from its interest in the investee's income after the acquisition date.

In the investments in associates, the Company must have significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, without having its control or joint control of those policies. In investments in joint ventures there is a contractually agreed sharing of control through an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

In relation to associates Ensyn and Spinnova, the equity is measured based on the latest available information and does not have a material impact in the consolidated financial statement and, if any significant event had occurred until December 31, 2021, it would be adjusted in the consolidated financial statement.

3.2.5. Translation of financial statements to functional and presentation currency

The Company defined that for all its wholly owned subsidiaries, the functional and presentation currency is the Real, except for investments in associates abroad related to Ensyn Corporation, F&E Technologies LLC, Spinnova Oy, Woodspin Oy and Celluforce, the functional currencies are different from the Real, whose accumulated gain or loss effects on the conversion of financial statements, are recorded in other comprehensive income, in equity.

The individual financial information of each subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statement, are prepared in accordance with local currency of the subsidiary operates and translated into Company’s functional and presentation currency.

F-20

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

3.2.5.1. Transactions and balances in foreign currency

These are translated using the following criteria:

(i) monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end;

(ii) non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;

(iii) revenues and expenses are translated based on monthly average rate; and

(iv) the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized in the other comprehensive income.

3.2.6. Hyperinflationary economies

Entities based in Argentina, a country considered to have a hyperinflationary economy, are subject to the requirements of IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Non-monetary items, as well as incomes and expenses, are adjusted by the changes in the inflation index between the initial recognition and the closing date, so that the balances are stated at current value.

However, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary based in Argentina, has the Real as its functional currency and, therefore, is not considered an entity with a hyperinflationary currency and does not present its individual financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. The financial statements are presented at historical cost.

3.2.7. Business combinations

These are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to acquirer. The cost of an acquisition is the sum of the consideration paid, evaluated based on the fair value at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire. For each business combination, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquire either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recorded as expense when incurred, except for costs related to the issuance of debt instruments or equity instruments, which are presented as debt reduction or equity, respectively.

In a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are evaluate in order to classify and allocate them assessing the terms of the agreement, economic circumstances and other conditions at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill recognized in a business combination, as from the acquisition date, is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units.

Gains on an advantageous purchase are recognized immediately in the result. The borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement as incurred.

Contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor classified in the acquired company as possible and remote risk is recognized by the acquirer, at its fair values.

Transactions in the acquisition of shares with shared control over the net assets traded apply complementary guidance to IFRS 3 - Business Combination, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Based on the equity method, investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted for recognition of changes in the Company's share in the acquirer's Shareholders' equity as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is segregated from carrying amount of the investment. Other

F-21

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

intangible assets identified in the transaction shall be allocated in proportion to the interest acquired by the Company, by the difference between the carrying amounts recorded in the acquired entity and its fair value assets, which may be amortized.

3.2.8. Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Company that carries out business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses. The operating segments reflect how the Company’s management reviews financial information to make decisions. The Company’s management has identified reportable segments, which meet the quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements. The segments identified for disclosure represent mainly sales channels.

3.2.9. Cash and cash equivalents

Include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities, upon acquisition, of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

3.2.10. Financial instruments

3.2.10.1. Classification

Financial instruments are classification based on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, as set forth below:

(i) amortized cost;

(ii) fair value through other comprehensive income;and

(iii) fair value through profit or loss.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, it means, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial instruments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred but only if Fibria has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

3.2.10.1.1. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

Financial instruments held by the Company (i) in order to receive their contractual cash flow and not to sell to realization a profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Any changes are recognized under financial income (expense) in income statement.

It includes the balance of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and other assets, classified as financial assets and the balance of loans, financing and debentures, lease payables, accounts payable for the acquisition of assets and subsidiaries, suppliers and other liabilities, classified as financial liabilities.

3.2.10.1.2. Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets held by the Company (i) either to receive their contractual cash flow as the for sale with realization of profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise on specified dates, to cash flows constituting, exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In addition, investments in equity instruments where, on initial recognition, the Company elected to present subsequent changes in its fair value to other comprehensive income, are classified in this category. Any changes are recognized under net financial income (expense) in income statement, except for the fair value of investment in equity instruments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

F-22

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

This category includes the balance of other investments.

3.2.10.1.3.Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Any changes are recognized under financial income (expense) in income statement for non-derivative financial instruments and for financial derivative instruments under income from derivative financial instruments.

This category includes the balance of marketable securities, classified as financial assets financial and derivative financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, stock options, classified as financial assets and liabilities.

3.2.10.2. Settlement of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are settled and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when there is a (i) legally enforceable right to settle the recognized amounts and (ii) there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.2.10.3. Impairment of financial assets

3.2.10.3.1. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

Annually, the Company assesses if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired. A financial is impaired only if there is evidence of an impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated.

The criteria that the Company uses to determine if there is evidence of an impairment loss include:

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

(ii) default or late interest or principal payments in the agreement;

(iii) where Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, grants to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise receive;

(iv) it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

(v) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; and

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.

The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset is impaired the carrying amount of the asset is reduced and a loss is recognized in the income statement.

In a subsequent measurement, if there is an improvement in  the asset rating, such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

3.2.10.3.2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Annually, the Company evaluate if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

For such financial assets, a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value of the security below its cost is an evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income, shall be recognized in the income statement.

3.2.11. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives financial instruments are recognized at fair value on the date the derivative agreement is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in under result of derivative financial instruments in the income statement.

Embedded derivatives in non-derivative main contracts are required to be separated when their risks and characteristics are not-closely related to those of main contracts and these are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Non-option embedded derivatives are separated from the main contracts in accordance with its stated or implied substantive terms, so that they have zero fair value on initial recognition.

3.2.12. Trade accounts receivables

These are recorded at the invoiced amount, in the normal course of the Company´s business, adjusted to exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency and, if applicable, net of expected credit losses.

The Company applies the aging-based provision matrix with the appropriate grouping of your portfolio. When necessary, based on individual analysis, the provision for expected loss is supplemented.

The Company examines on a monthly basis the maturity of receivables and identifies those customers with overdue balances assessing the specific situation of each client including the risk of loss, the existence of contracted insurance, letters of credit, collateral and the customer’s financial situation. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which include direct contact with customers and collection through third parties. Should these efforts prove unsuccessful, court measures are considered and credit expected loss is recognized. The notes are written-off from the credit expected loss when Management considers that they are not recoverable after taking all appropriate measures to collect them.

3.2.13. Inventories

These are evaluated at average acquisition or formation cost of finished products, net of recoverable taxes, not exceeding their net realizable value.

Finished products and work-in-process consist of raw materials, direct labor, production costs, freight, storage and general production expenses, which are related to the processes required to make the products available for sale.

Imports in transit are presented at the cost incurred until the balance sheet date.

The raw materials derived from biological assets are measured based on their fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest and freight costs.

F-24

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Usual production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production cost of the respective month, whereas abnormal losses, if any, are recorded directly as cost of sales.

3.2.14. Non-current assets held for sale

These are measured at carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whichever is lower, and are not depreciated or amortized. Such items are only classified under this account when the sale is highly probable and they are available for immediate sale under their current conditions.

3.2.15. Biological assets

The biological assets for production (mature and immature forests) are reforestation eucalyptus forests, with a formation cycle between planting until the harvest of approximately 7 (seven) years, measured at fair value. Depletion is measured by the amount of biological assets depleted (harvested) and measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell.

For the determination of the fair value, the income approach technique was applied using the discounted cash flow model, according to the projected productivity cycle for these assets. The assumptions used to measure the fair value are reviewed every six months, as the Company considers that this interval is sufficient so that there is no significant gap in the fair value balance of biological assets booked. Significant assumptions are presented in note 13.

The gain or loss on the assessment of fair value is recognized in the operating income (expenses), net.

Biological assets in formation under the age of 2 (two) years, accounted for at the formation cost and the areas of permanent environmental preservation, which are not recorded, and it is not included in the measurement at fair value, because it is not characterized as biological assets.

3.2.16. Property, plant and equipment

Stated at the cost of acquisition, formation, construction or dismantling, net of recoverable taxes. Such cost is deducted of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, when incurred, at the highest of the value of use and sale, less cost to sell. The borrowing costs are capitalized as a component of construction in progress, considering the weighted average rate, adjusted for the equalization of exchange rate effect, of the Company’s debt at the capitalization date.

Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated.

The Company annually performs an analysis of impairment indicators of property, plant and equipment. An impairment for loss for property, plant and equipment, is only recognized if the related cash-generating unit is devalued. Such condition is also applied if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than it is carrying amount. The recoverable amount of asset or cash-generating unit is the highest of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell.

The cost of major renovations is capitalized if the future economic benefits exceed the performance standard initially estimated for the asset and are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are measured by comparing the proceeds with the book value and are recognized as other operating income a (expense), net at the disposal date.

3.2.17. Leases

A contract is, or contains a lease, if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration, for which it is necessary to assess whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, which may be explicit or implicit, and may be physically distinct or represent substantially the entire capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantial right to replace the asset, then the asset is not identified;

(ii) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset during the contract period; and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has the right to decide to change how and for what purpose the asset is used, if:

● has the right to operate the asset, or

● designed the asset, in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At the beginning of the contract, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability that represents the obligation to make payments related to the underlying asset of the lease.

The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost and comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any payment made on or before the contract start date, plus any direct initial costs incurred and estimated disassembly, removal costs, restoration of the asset in the place where it is located, less any incentive received.

The right-to-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the start date to the end of the useful life of the right to use or the end of the lease term. Except for land agreements that are automatically extended for the same period by means of notification to the lessor, for the other agreements are not allowed automatic renewals and for an indefinite period, as well as the exercise of termination is a right of both parties.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments not made, less the incremental loan rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change:

(i) in future payments resulting from a change in index or rate;

(ii) in the estimate of the expected amount to be paid in the guaranteed residual value; or

(iii) in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise the purchase option, extension or termination.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment amount is recorded in the book value of the right-of-use asset or in the profit and loss statement, if the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

F-26

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The Company does not have lease agreements with clauses of:

(i) variable payments that are based on the performance of the leased assets;

(ii) guarantee of residual value; and

(iii) restrictions, such as, for example, obligation to maintain financial ratios.

Short-term or low-value contracts for the exemption of the standard refers to contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than U.S.$5 and maturity date is before 12 months, are expensed as incurred.

3.2.18. Intangible assets

These are measured at cost at the time they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination corresponds to the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable.

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economic useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying values may be impaired. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income as an expense related to its use and consistently with the economic useful life of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment losses, individually or at the level of the CGU. The allocation is made to the CGU or group of CGUs that represents the lowest level within the entity, in which the goodwill is monitored for management's internal purposes, and that has benefited from the business combination. The Company records in this subgroup mainly goodwill for expected future profitability (goodwill) and easement of passage.

Such test involved the adoption of assumptions and judgments, disclosed in Note 16.

3.2.19. Current and deferred income tax and social contribution

Income taxes comprise income tax and social contribution on net income, current and deferred. These taxes are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that they are related to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, they are recognized in equity under other reserves.

The current charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted in the countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates the positions assumed in the income tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulations give rise to interpretations and establishes provisions, when appropriate, based on the amounts that must be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax and contribution liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxes and contributions are determined based on the rates in force on the balance sheet date and, which must be applied when they are realized or when they are settled.

Deferred tax assets and contributions are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset temporary differences, based on projections of future results prepared and based on internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that may, therefore, undergo changes.

F-27

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The projection for realization of deferred tax assets was prepared based on Management's estimates that are based on significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. However, there are other assumptions that are not under the control of the Company, such as inflation rates, exchange rates, pulp prices practiced in the international market and other economic uncertainties in Brazil, future results may differ from those considered in the preparation of the consolidated projection.

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except when the timing of the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Company, and if it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in a foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes and contributions assets and liabilities are offset by the net amount in the balance sheet whenever related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

3.2.20. Trade accounts payable

Corresponds to the obligations payable for goods or services acquired in the normal course of the Company´s business, recognized at fair value and,  subsequently,  measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, adjusted to present value and exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency, when applicable.

3.2.21. Loans and financing

Loans and financing are initially recognized at their fair value, net of costs incurred in the transaction and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised and settled is recognized in the statement of income during the period in which the loans and financing are outstanding, using the effective tax rate method.

General or specific borrowing costs, directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualified asset, are capitalized as a part of the cost of asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits for the entity and that these costs may be measured with reliability. The Company does not have specific loans to obtain qualified assets. Other loan costs are recognized as expense in the period they are incurred.

3.2.22. Provision, contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are not recorded. The recognition is only performed when are guarantees or judicial decisions favorable and the amount can be measured with safety. Contingent assets, for which such conditions are not met, are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

The provisions are provided to the extent that the Company expects that is probable that it will disburse cash and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tax, civil, environment and labor proceedings are accrued when losses are assessed as probable and the amounts involved can be reliably measured. When the expectation of loss is possible, a description of the processes and amounts involved is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent liabilities assessed as remote losses are neither accrued nor disclosed.

A contingent liabilities of business combinations are recognized if they arise from a present obligation that arose from past events and if their fair value can be measured reliably and subsequently are measured at the higher of:

(i) the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above that comply with IAS 37; or

(ii) the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, of recognized revenue in accordance with the policy of recognizing revenue from customer contracts IFRS 15.

3.2.23. Asset retirement obligations

These primarily relate to future costs for the decommissioning of industrial landfill and related assets. A provision is recorded as a long-term obligation against property, plant and equipment. The provision and the corresponding property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at fair value, based on the present value of estimated cash flows for future cash payments discounted by an adjusted risk-free rate. The long-term obligation accrues interest using a long-term discount rate. The property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the principal against to cost of sales of the income statement.

3.2.24. Share based payments

The Company’s executives and managers receive their compensation partially as share-based payment plans to be settled in cash and shares, and alternatively in cash.

Plan-related expenses are recognized in the income statement as a corresponding entry to financial liabilities during the vesting period when services will be rendered. The financial liability is measured by its fair value every balance sheet date and its variation is recorded in the income statement as administrative expenses.

At the option exercise date, if such options are exercised by executive in order to receive Company’s shares, financial liabilities are reclassified under stock options granted in shareholders’ equity. In case of option exercise paid in cash, the Company settles the financial liability in favor to the Company’s executives.

3.2.25. Employee benefits

The Company offers benefits related to supplementary contribution plan to all employees and medical assistance and insurance life for a determined group of former employees, and for the last two benefits an actuarial appraisal is annually prepared by an independent actuary and are reviewed by Management.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other reserves when incurred. The interest incurred, resulting from changes in the present value of the actuarial liability, is recorded in income statement under the financial expenses.

3.2.26. Other assets and liabilities current and non-current

Assets are recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and its cost or value can be measured reliably.

A liability is recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event, and it is probable that an economic resource will be required to settle this liability.

3.2.27. Government grants and assistance

Government grants and assistance are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the conditions established by the granting Governmental Authority were observed and that these subsidies will be obtained. These are recorded as revenue or expense deduction in the income statement for the period of enjoyment of benefit and subsequently are allocated to the tax incentives reserve under shareholders’ equity, when applicable.

3.2.28. Dividend and interest on own capital

The distribution of dividends or interest on shareholders' equity is recognized as a liability, calculated based on Corporate Law, the bylaws and the Company's Dividend Policy, which establishes that the minimum annual dividend is the lowest amount between (i) 25%

F-29

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

of adjusted net income or (ii) the consolidated operating cash flow for the year and, provided they are declared before the end of the year. Any portion in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends, if declared after the balance sheet date, must be recorded under the additional dividends proposed in shareholders' equity, until approved by the shareholders at the General Assembly. After approval, reclassification to current liabilities is made.

The tax benefit of interest on equity is recognized in the income statement.

3.2.29. Share capital

Common shares are classified under shareholders’ equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to a public offer are stated under shareholders’ equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes.

3.2.30. Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers are recognized as at which the products to customers transfer of control, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.

The Company follows the five-step model: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of performance obligations under contracts; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation provided for in the contracts and (v) recognition of revenue when the performance obligation is met.

For operating segment Pulp, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”), when destined for the foreign market and (ii) lead time, when destined for the internal market.

For operating segment Paper and Consumer Goods, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) the corresponding International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”) and (ii) lead time and are products destined for external and internal market.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts and recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, when the amount is reliably measured.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates and discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A provision for reimbursement (included in trade accounts receivable) is recognized for expected rebates and discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No significant element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a short credit term.

3.2.31. Financial income and expenses

Include interest income on financial assets, at the effective interest rate that includes the amortization of funding raising costs, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, interest on loans and financing, exchange variations on loans and financing and other assets and financial liabilities and monetary variations on other assets and liabilities. Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest method.

3.2.32. Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by (losses) the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the year.

F-30

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued when converting all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

3.2.33. Employee and management profit sharing

Employees are entitled to profit sharing based on certain goals agreed annually. For the Administrators, the statutory provisions proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders are used as a basis. Provisions for participation are recognized in the administrative expense, during the period in which the targets are attained.

3.2.34. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

As disclosed in note 2, Management used judgments, estimates and accounting assumptions regarding the future, whose uncertainty may lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the book value of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses in future years, are presented below:

● control, significant influence and consolidation (Note 1.1);

● share-based payment transactions (Note 22);

● transfer to control for revenue recognition (Note 28);

● fair value of financial instruments (Note 4);

● annual analysis of the impairment of non-financial assets (Notes 15 and 16);

● expected credit losses (Note 7);

● net realizable value provision for inventories (Note 8);

● annual analyses of recoverability of taxes (Notes 9 e 12);

● fair value of biological assets (Note 13);

● useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with defined useful life (Notes 15 and 16);

● annual analysis recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 16);

● provision for legal liabilities (Note 20); and

● pension and post-employment plans (Note 21);

The Company reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions used in its accounting estimates on annual basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

3.3. New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet adopted

The new and changed standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted until December 31, 2021, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when it come into force and does not expect to have a material impact on the financial statements.

3.3.1. Business Combination IFRS 3 - Reference to the conceptual framework (Applicable on/or after January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted if the entity also adopts all other updated references (published together with the updated Conceptual Framework) on the same date or earlier.

The amendments update IFRS 3 so that it refers to the 2018 Conceptual Framework instead of the 1989 Structure. It also include in IFRS 3 the requirement that, for obligations within the scope of IAS 37, the buyer applies IAS 37 to determine whether there is a present obligation on the acquisition date due to past events. For a tax within the scope of IFRIC 21 - Levies, the buyer applies IFRIC 21 to determine whether the event that resulted in the obligation to pay the tax occurred up to the date of acquisition.

The amendments add an explicit statement that the buyer does not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

3.3.2. IAS 37 - Onerous contracts: Cost to fulfill an onerous contract (Applicable for annual periods on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets clarify what “costs to fulfill a contract” represent when a onerous contract is assessed. Some entities that apply the “incremental cost” approach may have the value of their provisions increased, or new provisions recognized for onerous contracts as a result of the new definition.

The need for clarification was caused by the introduction of IFRS 15, which replaced the existing requirements related to revenue, including guidelines contained in IAS 11, which dealt with construction contracts. While  IAS 11 specified which costs were included as costs to fulfill a contract, IAS 37 did not do, generating a diversity of practice. The amendment aims to clarify which costs should be included in the assessment.

3.3.3. Property, plant and equipment - IAS 16 – Revenue earned before an asset is ready for its intended use (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

In the process of building an item of property, plant and equipment for its intended use, an entity may in the same time produce and sell products generated in the process of construction of the item of property, plant and equipment. Before the change proposed by the IASB, in practice, several ways of accounting for such revenues were found. The IASB has amended the standard to provide guidance on accounting for such revenues and related production costs.

With the new proposal, the sale revenue is no longer deducted from the cost of property, plant and equipment, but is recognized in the income statement together with the production costs of these items. IAS 2 Inventories must be applied in the identification and measurement of production costs.

3.3.4. IFRS 1 – First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment provides additional relief to a subsidiary which becomes a first-time adopter later than its parent in respect of accounting for cumulative translation differences. As a result of the amendment, a subsidiary that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a) can now also elect to measure cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations at the carrying amount that would be included in the parent’s consolidated financial statements, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS Standards, if no adjustments were made for

F-32

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

consolidation procedures and for the effects of the business combination in which the parent acquired the subsidiary. A similar election is available to an associate or joint venture that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a).

3.3.5. IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment clarifies that in applying the ‘10 per cent’ test to assess whether to derecognise a financial liability, an entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other’s behalf.

The amendment is applied prospectively to modifications and exchanges that occur on or after the date the entity first applies the amendment.

3.3.6. IFRS 16 – Leases (no effective date is stated)

The amendment removes the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements.

As the amendment to IFRS 16 only regards an illustrative example, no effective date is stated.

3.3.7. IAS 41 – Agriculture (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment removes the requirement in IAS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value. This aligns the fair value measurement in IAS 41 with the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to use internally consistent cash flows and discount rates and enables preparers to determine whether to use pretax or post-tax cash flows and discount rates for the most appropriate fair value measurement.

The amendment is applied prospectively, i.e. for fair value measurements on or after the date an entity initially applies the amendment.

3.3.8. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set by IASB; however, earlier application to the amendments is permitted)

The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognised in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to fair value are recognised in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate or joint venture.

3.3.9. Presentation of the financial statements – IAS 1 – Classification of liabilities as current and non-current (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the balance sheet and not the amount or the time of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expense, or the information disclosed about these items.

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on the rights existing at the balance sheet date, specify that the classification is not affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to postpone the settlement

F-33

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

of the liability, explain that the rights exist if restrictive clauses are complied with at the balance sheet date, and introduce the definition of 'settlement' to clarify that refers to the transfer to a counterparty; a cash value, equity instruments, other assets or services.

3.3.10. Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements – Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy information’. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

3.3.11. Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

(i) A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error

(ii) The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

3.3.12. Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments introduce a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

Depending on the applicable tax law, equal taxable and deductible temporary differences may arise on initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. For example, this may arise upon recognition of a lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset applying IFRS 16 at the commencement date of a lease.

Following the amendments to IAS 12, an entity is required to recognise the related deferred tax asset and liability, with the recognition of any deferred tax asset being subject to the recoverability criteria in IAS 12.

The amendments apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period an entity recognises:

(i) A deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:

● Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and

F-34

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

● Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related asset.

(ii) The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS MANAGEMENT

4.1. Financial risks management

4.1.1. Overview

As a result of its activities, the Company is exposed to various financial risks, which are managed in accordance with the Financial Risk Management, Counterparty and Issuer Risk, Debt, Derivative and Cash Management Policies (“Financial Policies”), which were approved at the Board of Directors' meeting held on August 13, 2020 and are available on the Company's website.

The main factors considered by Management are:

(i) liquidity;

(ii) credit;

(iii) exchange rate;

(iv) interest rate;

(v) fluctuations of commodity prices; and

(vi) capital.

The Management is focused on generating consistent and sustainable results over time, however, arising from external risk factors, unintended level of volatility can influence the Company’s cash flows and income statement.

The Company has policies and procedures for managing market risk which aims:

(i) reduce,  mitigate or transfer exposure aiming to protect the Company’s cash flows and assets against fluctuations of market prices of raw material and products, exchange rates and interest rates, price and adjustment index ("market risk") or other assets or instruments traded in liquid markets or not to which the value of the assets, liabilities and cash flows are exposed;

(ii) establish limits and instruments with the purpose of allocating the Company's cash within acceptable credit risk exposure parameters of financial institutions; and

(iii) optimize the process of hiring financial instruments for protection against exposure to risk, drawing on natural hedges and correlations between the prices of different assets and markets, avoiding any waste of funds used to hiring inefficient transactions. All financial transactions entered into by the Company aim to protect existing exposures, with the assumption of new risks prohibited, except those arising from its operating activities.

F-35

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Hedging instruments are hired exclusively for hedging purposes and are based on the following terms:

(i) cash flow protection against currency mismatch;

(ii) revenue flow protection for debt settlement and interest to fluctuation of interest rate and currencies; and

(iii) fluctuation in pulp price and other supplies related to production.

Treasury team is responsible for identification, evaluating and seeking protection against possible financial risk. Board of Directors approves the financial policies that establish the principles and guidance for global risk management, the areas involved in these activities, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the allocation of cash surplus.

The Company uses the most liquid financial instruments, and:

(i) does not hired leveraged transactions or with other forms of embedded options that change its purpose of protection (hedge);

(ii) does not have double indexed debt or other forms of implied options; and

(iii) does not have any transaction that require margin deposits or other forms of collateral for counterparty credit risk.

The Company does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of income, as disclosed in Note 27.

The Company maintained its conservative approach and strong cash and marketable securities position, as well as its hedge policy, during the crisis caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 and even though there were impacts on the fair value of its financial instruments due to the effects on all global economies, the impacts were as expected, according to sensitivity analyses disclosed in previous reports, and measures were taken in relation to the risks associated to the financial instruments, in particular to the risks of liquidity, credit and exchange rate variation, as set forth below.

1) Does not include items not classified as financial instruments.

4.1.3. Fair value of loans and financing

The financial instruments are recognized at their contractual amounts. Derivative financial instrument agreements, used exclusively for hedging purposes, are measured at fair value.

In order to determine the market values of financial instruments traded in public and liquid markets, the market closing prices were used at the balance sheet dates. The fair value of interest rate and indexes swaps is calculated as the present value of their future cash flows discounted at the current interest rates available for operations with similar remaining terms and maturities. This calculation is based on the quotations of B3 and ANBIMA for interest rate transactions in Brazilian Reais and the British Bankers Association and Bloomberg

F-37

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

for London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate transactions. The fair value of forward or forward exchange agreements is determined using the forward exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates, in accordance with B3 prices.

In order to determine the fair value of financial instruments traded in over-the-counter or unliquidated markets, a number of assumptions and methods based on normal market conditions and not for liquidation or forced sale, are used at each balance sheet date, including the use of option pricing models such as Garman-Kohlhagen, and estimates of discounted future cash flows. The fair value of agreements for the fixing of oil bunker prices is obtained based on the Platts index.

The result of the trading of financial instruments is recognized at the closing or hiring dates, where the Company undertakes to buy or sell these instruments. The obligations arising from the hiring of financial instruments are eliminated from our financial statements only when these instruments expire or when the risks, obligations and rights arising there from are transferred.

The book values of loans and financing are disclosed in note 18.

The Management considers that for its other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, its book values approximate to their fair values and therefore the information on their fair values is not being presented.

4.2. Liquidity risk management

The Company’s purpose is maintaining a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating obligations. The amount held as cash is used for payments expected in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus amount is invested in highly liquid financial investments according to Cash Management Policy.

F-38

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

The cash position is monitored by the Company’s Management, by means of management reports and participation in performance meetings with determined frequency. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the impacts in cash and marketable securities were as expected and the cash generated in the operation was used for the most part to debt redemption, including payments made in advance to strengthen the Company's liquidity.

The Company, through its subsidiary Suzano Pulp and Paper Europe SA, in order to improve the management of financial liquidity, has contracted, since February 2019, a Revolving Credit Facility, in the amount equivalent to US$500,000, maturing in February 2024 , with a union composed of 5 banks. The transaction was structured so that the Company and its subsidiary can use the credit facility at any time, throughout the contracted period, which will expire on February 20, 2024. On December 31, 2021, the facility was available, but not used.

On December 1, 2021, the Company signed with the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (“BNDES”) a Credit Limit Opening Agreement (“CALC”), a Revolving Credit Limit, in the amount of up to R$3,000,000, to be disbursed in the coming years in forest, social and industrial investments. As of December 31, 2021, the line was available but not used.

All derivatives financial instruments were in the over-the-counter derivatives and do not require deposit of guarantee margins.

The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities are disclosed at the date of this financial information reporting date. The amounts as set forth below, consist in the undiscounted cash flows and include interest payments and exchange rate variation, and therefore may not be reconciled with the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

4.3. Credit risk management

It is related to the possibility of non-compliance with the counterparty commitment in an operation. Credit risk is managed on a group and arises from cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, bank deposits, Bank Deposit Certificates ("CDB"), fixed income box, repurchase agreements, letters of credit, insurance, receivable terms of customers, advances to suppliers for new projects, among others.

4.3.1. Trade accounts receivable and advances to supplier

The Company has commercial and credit policies aimed at mitigating any risks arising from its customers' default, mainly through hiring of credit insurance policies, bank guarantees provided by first-tier banks and collaterals according to liquidity. Moreover, portfolio customers are subject to internal credit analysis aimed at assessing the risk regarding payment performance, both for exports and for domestic sales.

For customer credit assessment, the Company applies a matrix based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects to determine individual credit limits to each customer according to the identified risk.  Each analyze is submitted for approval according to established hierarchy and, if applicable, to approval from the Management’s meeting and the Credit Committee.

The risk classification of trade accounts receivable is set forth below:

	December 31,	December 31,
	2021	2020
Low (1)	6,491,726	2,813,038
Average (2)	19,147	54,115
High (3)	55,355	89,942
	6,566,228	2,957,095

1) Current and overdue to 30 days.

2) Overdue between 30 and 90 days.

3) Overdue more than 90 days.

Part of the amounts above does not consider the expected credit losses calculated based on the provision matrix of R$34,763 and R$41,889 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

4.3.2. Banks and financial institutions

The Company, in order to mitigate credit risk, maintains its financial operations diversified among banks, with a main focus on first-tier financial institutions classified as high-grade by the main risk rating agencies.

The book value of financial assets representing the exposure to credit risk is set forth below:

4.4. Market risk management

The Company is exposed to several market risks, mainly, related to fluctuations in exchange rate variation, interest rates, inflation rates and commodity prices that may affect its results and financial situation.

To mitigate the impacts, the Company has processes to monitor exposures and policies that support the implementation of risk management.

The policies establish the limits and the instruments to be implemented for the purpose of:

(i) protecting cash flow due to currency mismatch;

(ii) mitigating exposure to interest rates;

(iii) reducing the impacts of fluctuation in commodity’s prices; and

(iv) change of debt indexes.

The market risk management comprises the identification, the assessment and the implementation of the strategy, with the effective hiring of adequate financial instruments.

4.4.1. Exchange rate risk management

The fundraising financing and the currency hedge policy of the Company are guided considering substantial part of net revenue arises from exports with prices negotiated in U.S.Dollar, while substantial part of the production costs is attached to the Brazilian Real. This structure allows the Company to enter into export financing in U.S.Dollar and to reconcile financing payments with the cash flows of receivables from sales in foreign market, using the international bond market as an important portion of its capital structure, and providing a natural cash hedge for these commitments.

Moreover, the Company enter into U.S.Dollar selling transactions in the futures markets, including strategies involving options, to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. Such transactions are limited to a percentage of the net surplus foreign currency over an 18-months‘ time horizon and therefore, are matched to the availability of currency for sale in the short term. The Company's Board of Directors approved on October the contracting of extraordinary hedge, in addition to the policy mentioned above, for investments in the Cerrado Project with a term of up to 36 months as of November 2021, in the amount of up to US$1,000,000.

4.4.1.1. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – except financial instruments derivatives

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to jointly evaluate assets and liabilities positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts recognized, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian Reais on the base date of the balance sheet (R$ to U.S.$ = R$5.5805).

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes.

Liabilities for asset acquisitions and associates	(273,179)	(68,295)	(136,590)

4.4.1.2. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – financial instruments derivatives

The Company hires sales operations of U.S. Dollar in the futures markets, including strategies with options, in order to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. These operations are limited to a percentage of the net foreign exchange surplus over the 18-month horizon  or to investments in the Cerrado Project according to the extraordinary hedge described above and, therefore, are attached to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

Due to pandemic of COVID-19 and the effects on all global economies over the past few quarters, financial markets have experienced volatility throughout the period with a strong sense of aversion to risk, with a consequent substantial devaluation of the Real against the U.S. Dollars.

For the calculation of mark-to-market (“MtM”), the PTAX of the penultimate business day of the quarter was used, in December 2020 it was R$5.1967 and in December 2021 it was R$5.5805, with an increase of 7.39%. These market movements caused a positive impact on the mark-to-market hedge position entered by the Company.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, from the base scenario of December 31, 2021.

It is important to mention that the impact caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate, whether positive or negative, will also affect the hedged asset. Therefore, even though there was a negative impact on the fair value of derivative transactions in the year, this impact was partially offset by the positive effect on the Company's cash flow and, if the exchange rate remains stable, it will be offset by the appreciation of the hedge object in the coming years. In addition, considering that hedge contracts are limited by the policy in a maximum of 75% of the total exposure in U.S. Dollars, the exchange rate devaluation will always benefit, in a net way, the Company's cash generation in the long run.

4.4.2. Interest rate risk management

Fluctuations in interest rates may imply effects of increased or reduced costs on new loans and operations already hired.

The Company is constantly looking for alternatives for the use of financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flow.

Considering the extinction of LIBOR over the next few years, the Company is evaluating its contracts with clauses that envisage the discontinuation of the interest rate. Most debt contracts linked to LIBOR have some clause to replace this rate with a reference index or equivalent interest rate and, for contracts that do not have a specific clause, a renegotiation will be carried out between the parties. Derivative contracts linked to LIBOR provide for a negotiation between the parties for the definition of a new rate or an equivalent rate will be provided by the calculation agent.

It is worth mentioning that the clauses related to replacement of the indexes in the Company's debt contracts indexed to LIBOR, establish that any replacement of the indexation rate in the contracts can only be evaluated in two circumstances (i) after the communication from an official government entity with formalization of the replacement/extinguishment of the effective rate of the contract, and this communication must define the exact date on which LIBOR will be extinguished and / or (ii) syndicated operations begin to be executed at a rate indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Considering that on March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the date of extinction of LIBOR 3M for June 30, 2023, the Company can, from this announcement, began negotiations terms of exchange of indexes for its debt contracts and related derivatives.

The Company mapped all contracts subject to LIBOR reform that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate on December 31, 2021 the Company has R$18,735,587 related to loan and financing contracts and R$1,156,180 related to derivative contracts and, initiated contact with the respective counterparties of each contract, to ensure that the terms and good market practices are adopted at the time of the transition of the index until June 2023, and these terms are still under negotiation between the parties.

The Company understands that it will not be necessary to change the risk management strategy due to the change in the indexes of the financial contracts linked to LIBOR.

The Company believes it is reasonable to assume that the negotiation of the indexes in its contracts, will move towards to the replacement of LIBOR by SOFR, because the available information, so far, indicates that SOFR will be the new interest rate adopted by the capital market. Based on the information available, the Company does not expect to have significant impact on its debts and derivatives linked to LIBOR.

4.4.2.1. Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates – except financial instruments derivatives

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that variations in operations impacted by the rates: Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Special System for Settlement and Custody ("SELIC") and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which may impact the results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the best estimate of the Management.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly exchange rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates.

4.4.2.3. Sensitivity analysis for changes in the consumer price index of the US economy

For the measurement of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (US-CPI) was considered on December 31, 2021. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering an appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively, in absolute amounts.

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

	December 31,
	2021
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable	Possible	Remote
	(base value)	(25%)	(50%)
	2.84%	3.55%	4.25%
Embedded derivative in forestry partnership and standing wood supply agreements	28,165	203,262	418,180

4.4.3. Commodity price risk management

The Company is exposed to commodity prices that reflect mainly on the pulp sale price in the foreign market. The dynamics of opening and closing production capacities in the global market and the macroeconomic conditions may have an impact on the Company´s operating results.

Through a specialized team, the Company monitors the hardwood pulp price and analyses future trends, adjusting the forecast that aims to assisting preventive measures to properly conduct the different scenarios. There is no liquid financial market to sufficiently mitigate the risk of a material portion of the Company’s operations. Hardwood pulp price protection operations available on the market have low liquidity and low volume and large distortion in price formation.

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, which is reflected on logistical costs for selling to the export market and indirectly in the costs of other supplies and logistics and service contracts. In this case, the Company evaluates the contracting of derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of price variation in its result.

On December 31, 2021, the Company did not hire position to hedge its logistics costs (US$37,757 as of December 31, 2020).

4.5. Derivative financial instruments

The Company determines the fair value of derivative contracts, which differ from the amounts realized in the event of early settlement due to bank spreads and market factors at the time of quotation. The amounts presented by the Company are based on an estimate using market factors and use data provided by third parties, measured internally and compared to calculations performed by external consultants and by counterparties.

Fair value does not represent an obligation for immediate disbursement or cash receipt, given that such effect will only occur on the dates of contractual fulfillment or on the maturity of each transaction, when the result will be determined, depending on the case and market conditions on the agreed dates.

A summary of the methodologies used for purposes of determining fair value by type of instrument is presented below:

(i) Swap: the future value of the asset and liability are estimated by the cash flows projected by the market interest rate of the currency in which the tip of the swap is denominated. The present value of the US dollar-denominated tip is measured using the discount using the exchange coupon curve (the remuneration, in US dollars, of the Reais invested in Brazil) and in the case of the BRL-denominated tip, the discount is made using Brazil's interest curve, being the future curve of the DI, considering

F-46

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

both the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. The exception is pre-fixed contracts x US$ where the present value at the tip denominated in US$ is measured through the discount using the LIBOR curve, disclosed by Bloomberg. The fair value of the contract is the difference between these two points. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.

(ii) Options (Zero Cost Collar): the fair value was calculated based on the Garman-Kohlhagen model, considering both Company’s and the counterparty credit risk. Volatility information and interest rates are observable and obtained from B3 exchange information to calculate the fair values.

(iii) Non-deliverable forward (NDF): a projection of the future currency quote is made, using the exchange coupon curves and the future DI curve for each maturity. Next, it is verified the difference between this quotation obtained and the rate that was contracted for the operation, considering the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and brought to present value by the future DI curve. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.

(iv) Swap US-CPI: liability cash flows are projected by the US inflation curve US-CPI, obtained by the implicit rates for inflation-linked US securities (“Treasury Protected against Inflation - TIPS”), disclosed by Bloomberg. Cash flows from the asset components are projected at the fixed rate implicit in the embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative is the difference between the two components, adjusted to present value by the curve of the exchange coupon obtained from B3.

(v) Swap VLSFO (marine fuel): a future projection of the asset price is made, using the future price curve disclosed by Bloomberg. Next, it is verified the difference between this projection obtained and the rate that the operation was contracted, considering both of Company’s and counterpart’s credit risk. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and adjusted to present value by the LIBOR curve disclosed by Bloomberg.

The yield curves used to calculate the fair value in December 31, 2021, are as set forth below:

Interest rate curves
Term	Brazil	United States of America	Dollar coupon
1 month	9.15% p.a.	0.22% p.a.	18.07% p.a.
6 months	11.22% p.a.	0.32% p.a.	3.70% p.a.
1 year	11.79% p.a.	0.53% p.a.	2.50% p.a.
2 years	10.97% p.a.	0.92% p.a.	2.17% p.a.
3 years	10.60% p.a.	1.16% p.a.	2.18% p.a.
5 years	10.61% p.a.	1.36% p.a.	2.25% p.a.
10 years	10.71% p.a.	1.59% p.a.	2.47% p.a.

The variation in the fair value of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the fair value measured on December 31, 2020 is explained substantially by devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar and by the settlements for the year. There were also less significant impacts caused by the variation in the Pre, Foreign Exchange Coupon and LIBOR curves in transactions.

It is important to highlight that, the outstanding agreements for the year ended December 31, 2021, are over-the-counter market, without any kind of guaranteed margin or early settlement clause forced by changes from mark to market, including possible variations caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

4.6. Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments are measured at fair value, which considers the fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into 3 hierarchy levels:

(i) Level 1 – Based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A market is considered active if it trades frequently and sufficient volume to provide pricing information immediately and continuously, usually obtained from a commodity and stock exchange, pricing service or regulatory agency, and the prices represent actual market transactions, which occur regularly on a commercial basis;

(ii) Level 2 - Based on prices quoted in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, evaluation models for which inputs are observable , such as rates of interest and yield curves, credit volatilities and spreads, and market corroborated information. Assets and liabilities classified in this category are measured through discounted cash flow and interest accrual, respectively, for derivative financial instruments and marketable securities. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; and

(iii) Level 3 – Based on unquoted data for assets and liabilities, where the Company applies the income approach technique using the discounted cash flow model. The observable inputs used are IMA, discount rate and eucalyptus average gross sales prices.

4.7. Risks linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy

In view of the nature of the Company's operations, there is inherent exposure to risks related to climate change.

The Company's assets, notably biological assets, which are measured at fair value (Note 13), property, plant and equipment (Note 15) and intangible assets (Note 16), may be impacted by climate changes, which were evaluated in the context of preparation of financial statements. In the year ended December 31, 2021, Management considered the main risk data and assumptions highlighted below:

(i) possible impacts on the determination of fair value in biological assets due to: Effects of climate change, such as temperature rise, scarcity of water resources, may impact some assumptions used in accounting estimates related to the Company's biological assets, as follows:

● losses of biological assets due to fires and impacts arising from the greater presence and resistance of pests and other forest diseases favored by the gradual increase in temperature;

● reduction in productivity and expected growth (IMA) due to reduced availability of water resources in basins; and

● interruption in the production chain due to adverse weather events.

(ii) scarcity of water resources in the industry: although our units are efficient in the use of water, there are contingency plans for all units affected by possible water shortages and action plans to confront the water crisis in critical regions.

(iii) structural changes in society and their impacts on business, such as:

● regulatory and legal: arising from Brazilian and/or international regulatory changes that encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity and that increase the risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions related to the alleged contribution, even if indirect, for the intensification of climate change;

● technological: arising from the emergence of improvements and innovations towards an economy with greater energy efficiency and low carbon;

● market: arising from changes in the supply and demand of certain products and services as climate-related issues begin to be considered in decision-making; and

● reputational: related to changing perceptions of customers and society in general regarding the positive or negative contribution of an organization to a low carbon economy.

4.7.1. Compliance with contractual clauses related to sustainability  in sustainable debt securities (Sustainability linked bonds - “SLB” e Sustainability Linked Loan – “SLL”)

As disclosed in Note 18, the Company issued debt securities with metrics of environmental, social and corporate governance - ESG related to the intensity of our emissions, intensity of capture of water resources and aspects of diversity and inclusion. The non-compliance of these targets may generate a future increase in the cost of said debts, as provided for in the respective contracts.

4.7.2. Climate risk management

The Company has a structure dedicated to corporate risk management, including risks related to climate change, with its own methodologies, tools and processes aimed at ensuring the identification, assessment and treatment of its main risks. This structure, through its management system, allows the continuous monitoring of risks and their eventual impacts, the control of the variables involved and the definition and implementation of mitigating measures, which aim to reduce the exposures identified. The Company's assessment of the potential impacts of climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy is carried out on an ongoing basis and will continue to evolve and, when applicable, its impacts will be considered and evaluated by its management.

4.8. Capital management

The main objective is to strengthen the Company’s capital structure, aiming to maintain an adequate financial leverage, and to mitigate risks that may affect the availability of capital in business development.

The Company monitors constantly significant indicators, such as, consolidated financial leverage, which is the ratio of total net debt to its adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

12. INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

12.1. Deferred taxes

The Company calculates income tax and social contribution taxes, current and deferred, based on the rates of 15% plus an additional 10% on taxable income in excess of R$240 for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL, on the net income. Balances are recognized in the Company's income on the accrual basis.

Associates located in Brazil have their taxes calculated and provisioned in accordance with current legislation and their specific tax regime, including, in some cases, presumed profit method. The associates located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

Deferred income and social contribution taxes are recognized at the net amounts in non-current assets or liabilities.

In Brazil, the Law nº. 12,973/14 revoked article 74  of Provisional Measure nº.2,158/01 and determines that the parcel of the adjustment of the value of the investment in associate, direct and indirect, located abroad, equivalent to the profit earned by it before income tax, except for exchange rate variation, must be added in the determination of taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis of the controlling entity located in Brazil, at the each year ended.

Management’s Company believes on the validity of the provisions of international treaties entered into Brazil to avoid double taxation. In order to guarantee its right to non-double taxation, the Company filed a lawsuit in April 2019, which aims at a non-double taxation, in Brazil, of profit earned by its associate located in Austria, according to Law n°. 12,973/14. Due to the preliminary injunction granted in favor of the Company in the records of the aforementioned lawsuit, the Company decided not to add the profit from Suzano

Effective rate of income and social contribution tax expenses	2.24	%	39.27	%	31.30	%

1) The effect of the difference in taxation of associates is substantially due to the difference between the nominal rates of Brazil and associates abroad.

2) The Brazilian thin capitalization rules establish that interest paid or credited by a Brazilian entity to a related party abroad may only be deducted for income tax and social contribution purposes if the interest expense is viewed as necessary for the activities of the local entity and when determined limits and requirements are met. On December 31, 2021 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements therefore the expense is not deductible for the period.

3) Income tax and social contribution deduction on profit or loss referring to the use of the (i) expenses with research and development (ii) PAT benefit ("Worker Food Program"), (iii) donations made in cultural projects, audiovisual, (iv) child and adolescent rights funds, and (v) extension of maternity and paternity leave.

12.3. Tax incentives

Company has a tax incentive for the partial reduction of the income tax obtained by the operations carried out in areas of the Northeast Development Superintendence (“SUDENE”) in the Mucuri (BA), Eunápolis - Veracel (BA), Imperatriz (MA) and Aracruz - Portocel (ES) regions and in areas of the Superintendence of the Amazon Development ("SUDAM") in the Belém (PA) regions. The IRPJ reduction incentive is calculated based on the activity profit (exploitation profit) and considers the allocation of the operating profit by the incentive production levels for each product. The incentive of lines 1 and 2 of Mucuri (BA) facility expire, respectively, in 2024

and 2027, Imperatriz facility, expire in 2024, Eunápolis - Veracel (BA) and Belém (PA) facility, expire in 2025 and Aracruz – Portocel (ES), expire in 2030.

13. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

The rollforward of biological assets is set forth below:

Balance on December 31, 2019	10,571,499
Addition	3,392,975
Depletion	(3,094,742)
Transfers	(23,471)
Gain on fair value adjustment	466,484
Disposal	(93,847)
Other write-offs	(57,688)
Balance on December 31, 2020	11,161,210
Addition	3,807,608
Depletion	(3,189,726)
Transfers	23,471
Gain on fair value adjustment	763,091
Disposal	(211,433)
Other write-offs	(105,489)
Balance on December 31, 2021	12,248,732

The calculation of fair value of the biological assets falls under Level 3 in the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13 — Measurement of Fair Value, due to the complexity and structure of calculation.

The main assumptions such as Average annual growth (“IMA”), discount rate, and average gross  selling price of eucalyptus,  stand out as being the most sensitive where increases or reductions in these assumptions generate significant gains or losses in the measurement of fair value.

The assumptions used in measurement of the fair value of biological assets were:

i) Average cycle of forest formation of 6 and 7 years;

ii) Effective area of forest from the 3^rd year of planting;

iii) IMA consists of the estimated volume of production of wood with bark in m³ per hectare, ascertained based on the genetic material used in each region, silvicultural practices and forest management, production potential, climate factors and ground conditions;

iv) The estimated average standard cost per hectare includes expenses on silvicultural and forest management, applied to each year of formation of the biological cycle of forests, plus costs of land lease agreements and opportunity cost of own land;

v) The average gross selling prices of eucalyptus were based on specialized research on transactions carried out by the Company with independent third parties; and

vi) The discount rate used in cash flows is measured based on capital structure and other economic assumptions in an independent market participant in the sale of standing wood (forests).

20.2.1. Tax and social securities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 766 (seven hundred sixty-six) (782 (seven hundred eighty-two) as of December 31, 2020) tax proceedings whose likelihood of loss is considered possible, in the total amount of R$7,539,938 (R$7,145,147 as of December 31, 2020) for which there is no provision was recorded.

The other tax and social security lawsuits refer to various taxes, such as IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS, ICMS, ISS, Withholding Income Tax ("IRRF"), PIS and COFINS, mainly due to differences in interpretation of applicable tax rules and information provided in accessory obligations.

The most relevant tax cases are set forth below:

(i) Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - Swap of industrial and forestry assets: in December 2012, the Company received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on a capital gain in February 2007, closing of the transaction, when the Company executed an agreement with International Paper for the swap of industrial and forestry assets.

On January 19, 2016, the Tax Federal Administrative Court (“CARF - Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais”) rejected as per the casting vote of CARF’s President, the appeal filed by the Company in the administrative process. The Company was notified of the decision on May 25, 2016 and due to the impossibility of new appeal and the consequent closure of the case at the administrative level, decided to continue the discussion with the Judiciary. The Company presented judicial guarantee, which was accepted, and is now awaiting the judgement of the case. We maintain our position to not constitute provisions for contingencies, based on the Company’s and its external legal advisors’ opinion that the probability of loss on this case is possible. In the year ended  December 31, 2021 the amount is R$2,351,673 (R$2,296,032 as of December 31, 2020).

(ii) Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - disallowance of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses – 2010: in December 2015, we received a tax assessment requiring the payment of IRPJ and CSLL, questioning the deductibility of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses of 2010 included by us in the calculation of income tax expense. We present administrative appeal on the legal period, judged partially valid. The decision was object of voluntary recourse, presented by us in November 2017. On October 16, 2018, the judgement was converted into a diligence, through resolution n. 1402-000723. Currently, the resolution is expected to be formalized. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$728,567 (R$712,531 as of December 31, 2020).

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(iii) IRPJ/CSLL - partial approval: the Company requested approval to offset 1997 tax losses with amounts owed to the tax authorities. The authorities approved in March 2009, only R$83,000, which generated a difference of R$51,000. The Company is still awaiting the conclusion of the analysis of the credits discussed at the administrative level following a favorable decision of CARF in August 2019, which granted the Voluntary Appeal filed by the Company. For the remaining credit, the Company has appealed the rejection of the tax credits and obtained a partially favorable decision, and the final decision is under discussion in the judicial level. Shortly after, an appeal was filed, which was judged in session, it was determined the conversion of the done in diligence. On November 6, 2018, a decision was filed reinforcing the tax authorities’ conclusion at the first approval and our arguments. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$106,811 (R$104,873 as of December 31, 2020).

(iv) Tax incentive - Agency for the Development of Northeastern Brazil (“ADENE”): in 2002 the Company was granted its request by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“Receita Federal do Brasil”) to benefit from reductions in corporate income tax and non-refundable surcharges calculated on operating profits (as defined) for Aracruz facilities A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), when the qualification reports for the tax reductions are approved by SUDENE.

In 2004, the Company was served an Official Notice by the liquidator of the former Superintendence for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”), who reported that, the right to use the benefit previously granted is unfounded and would be cancelled. In 2005, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service served the Company an assessment notice requiring the payment of the amounts of the tax incentive used, plus interest. After administrative discussion, the assessment notice was partially upheld and recognized the Company’s right to the tax incentive through 2003.

The Company's Management, supported by its legal counsel, believes that the decision to cancel the tax benefits is erroneous and should not prevail, either with respect to benefits already used, or with respect to benefits not used until the corresponding final periods.

The contingency is being discussed in the judicial sphere, where the final judgment of the Embargoes Execution presented by the Company is awaited. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount  is R$129,701 (R$127,391 as of December 31, 2020).

(v) PIS/COFINS – Goods and services – 2009 to 2011: in December 2013, the Company was assessed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service demanding the collection of PIS and COFINS credits disallowed because they are not allegedly linked to its operating activities. In the first instance, the objection filed by the Company was dismissed. After the Voluntary Appeal was filed, it was partially provided in April 2016. From this decision, the National Treasury filed a Special Appeal to the Superior Chamber and the Company filed a Statement of Appeal, which are still pending judgment. The updated amount involved up to December 31, 2021 is R$169,784 (R$166,355 as of December 31, 2020).

(vi) Offsetting - IRRF - period 2000: the Company filed a lawsuit for offsetting IRRF credits measured in the year ended December 31, 2000, with debts owed to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service. In April 2008, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service partially recognized the credit in favor of the Company. From this decision, the Company filed a Voluntary Appeal with CARF, which is pending judgment. In the year ended  December 31, 2021 the amount  is R$111,437 (R$109,903 as of December 31, 2020).

(vii)Tax assessment - Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution: on October 5, 2020, the Company was notified about the tax assessment issued by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service claiming the payment of Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution, resulting from the remeasurement of profit of its subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Besides the Company, Statutory Executive Officers’ (“Officers”) from Suzano Trading were also included as co-responsible. The Company, based on the legal advisors, considered the risk of loss as possible in regard to the Company and, in reference to the Officers, also possible but with more chances of winning (possible to remote). In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$470,119 (R$454,898 as of December 31, 2020).

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(viii)Tax assessment - taxation on a universal basis - year 2015: on November 3, 2020, the Company received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on calendar year 2015, due to the lack of addition, in determining taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis, of profits earned by subsidiaries abroad. The Company, based on the legal advisors, considered the risk of loss as possible. Currently, the defense presented at the administrative level is awaiting judgment. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$149,486 (R$145,026 as of December 31, 2020).

20.2.2. Labor

On December 31, 2021, the Company was a defendant in 1,462 (one thousand, four hundred and sixty-two) labor lawsuits, totaling R$211,767 (1,653 (one thousand, six hundred and fifty-three) labor lawsuits, totaling R$263,971 as of December 31, 2020).

The Company also has several lawsuits in which employees’ unions in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul are included.

20.2.3. Civil and environmental

On December 31, 2021, the Company is a defendant in approximately 205 (two hundred and five) civil, environmental and real estate lawsuits, totaled the amount of R$3,691,778 (324 (three hundred and twenty-four lawsuits totaled R$3,068,884 as of December 31, 2020).

In general, the civil and environmental proceedings in which the Company, including its subsidiaries, is a defendant are mainly related to the discussion about the competence for environmental licensing, repair of environmental damages, matters of an indemnity nature, including those arising from discussions about contractual obligations, precautionary measures, possessory actions, damage repair and revision actions, actions aimed at the recovery of credits (collection actions, monitoring, executions, credit qualifications in bankruptcy and judicial recovery), actions of interest to social movements, such as such as landless workers, quilombola communities, indigenous people and fishermen, and actions resulting from traffic accidents. The Company has a general civil liability insurance policy that aims to cover, within the limits contracted in the policy, any legal convictions, by way of damages caused to third parties (including employees).

Regarding civil matters, we are involved in 2 (two) Public Civil Claims (“Ação Civil Pública”) filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office  requesting (i) a preliminary injunction to prohibit Company’s trucks from transporting wood in federal highways above legal weight restrictions (ii) an increase in the fine for cases of overweight and (iii) compensation for damages to property allegedly caused to federal highways, the environment and the economic order, and compensation for moral damages. One of the Claims was ruled against the Company. Suzano presented an appeal to the Court of Appeals, requesting an interim relief to stay the effects of such ruling until a final decision is reached. We are currently waiting for the ruling on the interim relief by the 1st Regional Federal Court Appeals. In 2021, both were suspended due to the decision of the STJ to evaluate the points of discussion in the form of a repetitive appeal. Still no date for judgment.

Furthermore, the Company also sued a competitor from the midwest region due to the improper and unauthorized use of a variety of eucalyptus protected by intellectual property rights (cultivar) of the merged subsidiary Fibria. The prohibition of cultivation of this biological asset by the competitor is protected by an injunction still in force. While the sentence is pending, the competitor filed an action to annul the cultivar registration, but the course of the first action was not harmed. The judgment of the case is awaited.

In November 2020, a maritime logistics provider initiated an arbitration proceeding against the Company following the early termination of the contract. The counterparty pleads the execution of a put option clause (imposing the ownership and acquisition of barges) supposedly provided for in the contract as a penalty for early termination, as well as the payment of alleged losses and damages suffered as a result of the termination. Suzano, in turn, claims that the put option is not due and, even if it were due, the put option clause is

F-80

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

abusive in the economic relationship of the contract. The case is still in the process of submitting the formal statements of each party to the Arbitral Tribunal.

The Company is still defendant in 2 (“two”) ACPs, filed in 2015 by the Federal Public Ministry (“MPF”) and the National Institute for Colonization and Agricultural Reform (“INCRA”) against the merged subsidiary Fibria, from the State Espírito Santo and BNDES, aiming at the nullity of some property titles granted by the State to the Company in the municipalities of Conceição da Barra and São Mateus. The decisions, issued by the judge of 1st instance of the Federal Justice, declare the nullity of these titles and determine the return of these properties to the property of the State. The decisions rendered are not final and the Company has filed appropriate appeals for the reversal of this decision in the 2nd instance. It is important to highlight that the properties whose titles are discussed in the ACPs add up to a total of approximately 10,500 hectares, and of this total, according to Suzano's best information, only approximately 4,000 hectares are included in demarcation procedures initiated by INCRA in favor of quilombola communities in region. None of these demarcation procedures is finalized. Suzano is the legitimate owner of the properties under discussion and will continue to discuss the matter in court, in order to prove in court the legality of the acquisitions made at the time of acquisition.

Among the environmental lawsuits, 1 (“one”) ACPs filed by the MPF in the northeast region of Brazil stand out, challenging the jurisdiction of the state environmental agency to grant environmental licenses. The MPF alleges that the environmental licensing procedures related to our industrial plant in the state of Maranhão must be carried out by the Federal Environment Agency (“IBAMA”). The risks involved are delays in our planting schedule and the suspension of activities at the Maranhão industrial unit until a new license is issued. We believe that there are good chances of defense in this case, since IBAMA does not recognize that it has competence to execute the licensing process and there is no clear legal basis to support such jurisdiction.

In addition, we are involved in 1 (“one”) ACP filed by the MPF in the state of the negative impacts of our operation in the Baixo Parnaíba Region. The MPF claims that the occupation of these areas caused socio-environmental impacts in eastern Maranhão. Currently, the action is in the preparatory phase, with the beginning of the expert procedures. We believe in remote chances of loss in this case, since the report used to support the requests was made unilaterally and will be questioned during the expert investigation.

It should be noted that 2 (“two”) litigations that appeared in previous financial statements were closed, which are: i) ACP related to the environmental impacts allegedly caused in the city of Cubatão/SP, in which an agreement was reached with the Public Ministry of State of São Paulo (“MPSP”), pending ratification by the São Paulo Court of Justice and ii) ACP related to the licensing of eucalyptus plantations in the Urbano Santos/MA region, in which an agreement was signed by the competent federal court.

20.3. Contingent assets

20.3.1. Assets arising from the exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis

In judgment held on May 13, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) examined the amendment of judgment filed by the Federal Government, set out the understanding regarding the exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis in the Extraordinary Appeal proceeding nº 574,706, stating that:

(i) The effects of exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis must take place after March 15, 2017, except for lawsuits and administrative requirements filled by March 15, 2017, and

(ii) The VAT (ICMS) to be excluded from tax basis from PIS and COFINS is what is highlighted in the invoices.

With the edition of Opinion Nº. 7698/2021, the National Treasury Attorney's Office ("PGFN"), confirming the understanding of the STF, established that:

(i) Regarding to income earned from March 16, 2017, VAT (ICMS) value highlighted in the corresponding sales invoices must not be included on tax basis of PIS and COFINS, regardless of whether legal entity has filed a lawsuit or not; and

F-81

at
Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(ii) Regarding to income earned up to March 15, 2017, VAT (ICMS) value highlighted in the corresponding sales invoices must not be included on tax basis of PIS and COFINS, only if the legal entity has filed a lawsuit by March 15, 2017.

Over the years, the Company and its associates have filled lawsuits to recognize their rights to exclude ICMS (VAT) from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, including periods since March 1992. The lawsuits filed by the Company and its associates are in different procedural phases, with some final decision and other pending final position by the Courts. Notwithstanding, the fact that the lawsuits are in different procedural phases, the Company believes, supported by its legal counsel, that due to the final decision by the STF on the matter, the economic benefits arising from the lawsuits are practically certain and, therefore, they are no longer contingent assets, and the credits must be recorded.

Thus, in the year ended December 31, 2021, the total PIS and COFINS tax credits to be recovered recognized by the Company, following exactly the terms decided by the STF regarding the exclusion of ICMS (VAT) from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, is R$582,433, of which were recognized, R$128,115 in September 2019 and R$454,318 until December 2021. Recognition is based on the best estimate and tax documents currently available, and this amount may be subject to adjustments arising from obtaining tax documents for older periods and/or other adjustments, to the estimate that may arise in the final confirmation of the effective values of the credit.

20.3.2. SELIC update on undue tax

In September 2021, the STF held, by a majority of votes, that the Federal Government cannot charge IRPJ and CSLL on amounts referring to the SELIC rate received due to the repetition of undue tax. Nevertheless, the aforementioned judgment has not been definitively concluded with the respective final and unappealable decision, the Company, together with its advisors, understands that, in principle, there is no possibility of reversing the understanding on the merits. In this way, the Company carried out a survey of the credits referring to IRPJ and CSLL to be recovered, and in view of the immateriality of the amounts until this moment, it understands the continuity of the survey with external advisors for the proper bookkeeping of the assets in a timely manner.

21. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

22. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 3 (three) share-based, long-term compensation plans, (i) Phantom stock option plan (“PS”) and (ii) Share Appreciation Rights (“SAR”), both settled in local currency and (iii) restricted shares, settled in shares.

The characteristics and measurement method of such each plan are disclosed below.

22.1. Long term compensation plans (“PS and SAR”)

Certain executives and key members of the Management have a long-term compensation plan linked to the share price with payment in cash.

Throughout 2020, the Company granted the SAR and PLUS (Share Appreciation Rights) (“SAR”) plans of phantom stock options. In this plan,

In the PS plan, the beneficiary does not make any investment and in the SAR plan, the beneficiaries should invest 5% of the total amount corresponding to the number of options of phantom shares at the grant date and 20% after 3 (three) years to acquire the option. The Company also granted long-term incentive plans to its key members as part of its retention policy.

The vesting period of options may vary from 3 (three) to 5 (five) years, as of the grant date, in accordance with the characteristics of each plan.

The price of the share is calculated based on the average share quote of the 90 previous trading sessions starting from the closing quote on the last business day of the month prior to the month of the grant. The installments of these programs will be adjusted by the variation in the price of the SUZB3 at B3, between the granting and the payment period. On dates when the SUZB3 shares is not traded, the quote of the previous trading session will be considered.

Suzano S.A. Explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements Year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

In case of termination of the employment by initiative of the Company or by initiative of the beneficiary, before the vesting period is completed, the executive will not be entitled to receive all benefits, unless otherwise established in the agreements.

22.2 Restricted shares plan

The Company also offers a Restricted Shares plan based on the Company's performance (Program Restricted Shares). The plan associates the quantity of restricted shares granted to the Company's performance, which in 2021 was in relation to the operating cash generation target and ESG. The quantity of the restricted stock granted is defined in financial terms and is subsequently converted into shares based on the last 60 (sixty) stock exchange trading days on December 31, 2021 of SUZB3 at B3.

After measurement of the target, that occurs 12 months after the execution of the contract, the restricted shares will be granted immediately (conditioned to the achievement of the established goals), as they not have to comply to the vesting period. However, the beneficiaries of the grant must comply to the lockup period of thirty-six (36) months during which they will not be able to market the shares.

In the event that the beneficiaries leave the Company before the end of the fiscal year for the measurement of operating cash generation, they will lose the right to the grant of restricted share.

The position is set forth below:

	Date of the
	execution of		Price on		Shares	Restricted year for
Program	the contract	Grant date	grant date		Granted	transfer of shares
2018	01/02/2018	01/02/2019	R$	39.10	130,435	01/02/2022
2019	01/02/2020	01/02/2021	R$	51.70	106,601	01/02/2024
2021	01/02/2021	01/02/2022	R$	53.81	90,005	01/02/2025

22.3 Measurement assumptions

In the case of the phantom shares plan, since the settlement is in cash, the fair value of options is remeasured at the end of each period based on the Monte Carlo Method (“MMC”), which is multiplied by the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) in the period which varies between 75% and 125%, depending on the performance of SUZB3 in relation to its peers in Brazil.

The restricted stock plan considers the following assumptions:

(i) the expectation of volatility was calculated for each exercise date, considering the remaining time to complete the vesting year, as well as the historical volatility of returns, using the GARCH model for calculating volatility;

(ii) the expectation of average life of phantom stocks and stock options was defined by the remaining term until the limit exercise date;

(iii) the expectation of dividends was defined based on historical earnings per share of the Suzano;  and

(iv) risk-free weighted average interest rate used was the Brazilian Reais yield curve (DI expectation) observed on the open market, which is the best comparison basis with the Brazilian market risk-free interest rates. The rate used for each exercise date changes according to the vesting year.

29. SEGMENT INFORMATION

29.1 Criteria for identifying operating segments

The Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Executive Officers evaluate the performance of the Company’s business segments through the EBITDA. The Company revised the prior year segment note to present EBITDA as its performance measure. The information disclosed under “Not Segmented” is related to statement of income items not directly attributed to the pulp and paper segments.

The operating segments defined by the Company’s management are set forth below:

i) Pulp: comprises production and sale of hardwood eucalyptus pulp and fluff pulp mainly to supply the foreign market, with any surplus sold in the domestic market.

ii) Paper: comprises production and sale of paper to meet the demands of both domestic and foreign markets. Consumer goods (tissue) sales are classified under this segment due to its immateriality.

Information related to total assets by reportable segment is not disclosed, as it is not included in the set of information made available to the Company's management, which makes investment decisions and determine allocation of resources on a consolidated basis.

In addition, with respect to geographical information related to non-current assets, the Company does not disclose such information, as all our property, plant and equipment, biological and intangible assets are in Brazil.

(i) through a stock exchange or through a public offering or (ii) through an exchange of shares in a public offering to acquire control of another publicly-held company.

Any shareholders’ resolution must satisfy the quorum and all other legal requirements established in the Brazilian Corporate Law and in our bylaws.  No shareholder is liable to make any further contribution to our capital stock other than with respect to the liability to pay the issue price of the shares subscribed or acquired by such shareholder.

Dividends

Our dividend payments are subject to the provisions of Brazilian Corporate Law, applicable local laws and regulations and our bylaws. Our distributions can include dividends or interest on net equity (juros sobre capital próprio).  The payment of interest on net equity is subject to withholding income tax, pursuant to Brazilian tax laws, which is not levied upon payments of dividends.

The profits are distributed in proportion to the number of shares owned by each shareholder on the applicable record date.  In accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law, our bylaws require that we distribute annually to our shareholders a mandatory minimum dividend, which we refer to as the mandatory dividend, equal to at least 25% of our net income after taxes, after certain deductions, including accumulated losses and any amounts allocated to employee and management participation, any amount allocated to our legal reserve, and any amount allocated to the contingency reserve and any amount written off in respect of the contingency reserve accumulated in previous fiscal years, in each case in accordance with Brazilian law.

Payments of dividends for each fiscal year or payment of interest on net equity must be within 60 days from the shareholders’ meeting in which the distribution was approved, unless a shareholders’ resolution determines another date, not later than the end of the fiscal year in which such dividend was declared.

The Brazilian Corporation Law permits, however, a company to suspend the mandatory distribution of dividends if its board of directors reports to the shareholders’ meeting that the distribution would be incompatible with the financial condition of the company, subject to approval by the shareholders’ meeting and review by the fiscal council.

The amounts available for distribution are determined on the basis of financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Brazilian Corporation Law.  In addition, amounts arising from tax incentive benefits or rebates are appropriated to a separate capital reserve in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law.  This investment incentive reserve is not normally available for distribution, although it can be used to absorb losses under certain circumstances or be capitalized. Amounts appropriated to this reserve are not available for distribution as dividends.

The Brazilian Corporation Law permits a company to pay interim dividends out of preexisting and accumulated profits for the preceding fiscal year or semester, based on financial statements approved by its shareholders.  We may prepare financial statements semiannually or for shorter periods.  Our board of directors may declare a distribution of dividends based on the profits reported in semiannual financial statements.  Our board of directors may also declare a distribution

3

of interim dividends based on profits previously accumulated or in profits reserve, which are reported in such financial statements or in the last annual financial statement approved by resolution taken at a shareholders’ meeting.

If any dividend has not been claimed for 3 years after the date such dividend became due for payment, it will be forfeited and will revert to us.

Voting Rights

Our annual shareholders’ meeting takes place at our headquarter, in Bahia, Brazil, in April of each year.  Additionally, our board of directors or, in some specific situations set forth in Brazilian Corporate Law, our shareholders or our fiscal council, may call our extraordinary shareholders’ meetings.

Holders of our common shares are entitled to one voting right for each unit of common shares held.

Generally, the quorum required to hold shareholders’ meetings is at least ¼ of our issued and outstanding common shares, except as provided for by Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws in relation to decisions regarding certain matters.  Decisions are made by simple majority, except where Brazilian Corporate Law or our bylaws provide for a different quorum.

Certain matters require majority quorum for approval, including any amendment to our bylaws and the issuance of new shares.  In addition, the appointment of a specialized firm to prepare an appraisal report of our shares in case of cancellation of our registration as a publicly-held company requires a special quorum, pursuant to the terms of B3 regulations.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, minority shareholders representing at least 5% of our voting capital stock have the right to demand a cumulative voting procedure to elect a member of our board of directors.

Restrictions on Non-Brazilian Holders

There are no restrictions on ownership of our common shares by individuals or legal entities domiciled outside Brazil.  Foreign investors may trade their shares through ADSs on the NYSE or directly on the B3.

However, the right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of common shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts outside Brazil is subject to exchange control restrictions and foreign investment legislation, which generally require, among other things, obtaining an electronic registration with the Central Bank of Brazil.  Nonetheless, any non-Brazilian holder who registers with the CVM may use the dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of shares to buy and sell securities directly on the B3.

4

Liquidation Rights

We can only be dissolved by shareholders’ resolution passed by at least 50% of our share capital.  In the event of our liquidation, after payment of all liabilities, the balance of assets available for distribution will be distributed among the shareholders, each receiving a sum on a pro rata basis.

Right to Withdraw

Subject to Brazilian Corporate Law, our shareholders have the right to withdraw their equity interests and receive the relevant payment for their shares in case such shareholders are adversely affected by specific resolutions from shareholders’ meeting, as well as if after a corporate reorganization involving us, the resulted entity does not negotiate new shares in the secondary market.  This withdraw right may be exercised by dissenting or non-voting shareholders, if the relevant resolution is authorized by the vote of at least 50% of voting shares.

The right of withdrawal lapses 30 days after publication of the minutes of the relevant shareholders’ meeting.  We would be entitled to reconsider any action giving rise to withdrawal rights within 10 days following the expiration of such rights if the withdrawal of shares of dissenting shareholders would jeopardize our financial stability.

Given that our bylaws do not provide for rules to determine any value for redemption, any redemption of shares arising out of the exercise of such withdrawal rights would be made generally based on the book value per share, determined on the basis of the last balance sheet approved by our shareholders.  However, if a shareholders’ meeting giving rise to redemption rights occurred more than 60 days after the latest approved balance sheet, the shareholders would be entitled to demand that their shares be valued based on a more updated balance sheet.

Anti-Takeover Provision

Any person who, individually or jointly with another person representing the same interests or bound by a voting agreement, subscribes, acquires or in any way becomes a direct or indirect holder in Brazil or elsewhere of a material participation in Suzano’s share capital shall, within 30 days of the date of the event that results in such person holding a material participation, commence a public tender offer for all of the outstanding Suzano shares.  A material participation is defined in Suzano’s bylaws as a stake equal to 20% or more of the total number of Suzano shares.

The price per share of a tender offer in the event of the acquisition of a material participation will correspond to the higher of the following values:  (i) the economic value of Suzano Shares determined in a valuation report; and (ii) 145% of the highest price per Suzano Share during the 24-month period prior to the tender offer, corrected by the SELIC rate up to the time of payment.

Carrying out the tender offer above will not exclude the possibility of a third party submitting a competing tender offer, in accordance with applicable law.

For the purposes of calculating the percentage of 20% of the total of shares issued by us, involuntary increases of equity interest resulting from the cancellation of shares in treasury or redemption of shares will not be computed.  The tender offer will not be applicable to direct and

5

indirect controlling shareholders on September 29, 2017 and their successors (as defined in our bylaws).

In the event that a person does not comply with the tender offer obligations described above, our board of directors must call an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, in which such person is not allowed to vote, in order to resolve on the suspension of the rights held by such person.

II. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

The following description of the ADSs and certain material provisions of our corporate rules is a summary and does not purport to be complete.  It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the Deposit Agreement (as defined below), the form of ADS, which contain the terms of the ADSs, and any applicable law, as amended from time to time.

Copies of the Deposit Agreement (as defined below) are available for inspection at the offices of our depositary.

We encourage you to read the Deposit Agreement (defined below), the ADS form and the applicable sections of our annual report for additional information.

General

In the U.S., we trade ADSs representing our common shares, which are evidenced by ADRs.  The ADSs are negotiated on the NYSE.  The ADSs representing common shares are traded with ticker symbol SUZ.

The Bank of New York Mellon acts as depositary for our ADSs (“BNYM”).  In its capacity, the depositary will register and deliver the ADSs, each representing an ownership interest in one common share deposited with the custodian, as agent of the depositary, under the amended and restated deposit agreement dated December 10, 2018 between us, the depositary, and registered holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”), and (ii) any other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the depositary.

The principal executive office of BNYM is currently located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286, United States of America and the office at which the ADSs will be administered is currently located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, United States of America.

You may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution.  If you hold ADSs directly, by having an ADS registered in your name on the books of the depositary, you are an ADS holder.  If you hold the ADSs through your broker or financial institution nominee, you must rely on the procedures of such broker or financial institution to assert the rights of an ADS holder described in this section.  You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.

Holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights relating to the common shares underlying their ADSs, unless a registration statement under the Exchange Act is effective with respect to those rights.

The depositary will be the holder of the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs.  As a holder of ADSs, you will have ADS holder rights, which are set out in the Deposit Agreement.  The Deposit Agreement also sets out the rights and obligations of the depositary.

Share Dividends and Other Distributions

We may make various types of distributions with respect to our common shares, as detailed below. The depositary has agreed that, to the extent practicable, it will pay to ADS holders the dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on common shares, making any necessary deductions provided for in the Deposit Agreement.  The depositary may utilize a division, branch or affiliate of BNYM to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of common shares under the Deposit Agreement.  Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the depositary.  ADS holders will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of underlying common shares that such ADSs represent.  Except as stated below, the depositary will deliver such distributions to ADR holders in proportion to their interests in the following manner:

● Cash. The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution we pay on the shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if any government approval is needed and cannot be obtained, the deposit agreement allows the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those ADS holders to whom it is possible to do so. The depositary will hold the foreign currency it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. The depositary will not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest. Before making a distribution, any withholding taxes, or other governmental charges that must be paid will be deducted. The depositary will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, ADS holders may lose some of the value of the distribution.

● Shares. The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any shares we distribute as a dividend or free distribution. The depositary will only distribute whole ADSs. The depositary will sell shares which would require it to deliver a fraction of a ADS (or ADSs representing those shares) and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the depositary does not distribute additional ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also represent the new shares. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed shares (or ADSs representing those shares) sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution.

8

● Rights to purchase additional shares. If we offer holders of our securities any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any other rights, the depositary may (i) exercise those rights on behalf of ADS holders, (ii) distribute those rights to ADS holders or (iii) sell those rights and distribute the net proceeds to ADS holders, in each case after deduction or upon payment of its fees and expenses. To the extent the depositary does not do any of those things, it will allow the rights to lapse. In that case, ADS holders will receive no value for them. The depositary will exercise or distribute rights only if we ask it to and provide satisfactory assurances to the depositary that it is legal to do so. If the depositary will exercise rights, it will purchase the securities to which the rights relate and distribute those securities or, in the case of shares, new ADSs representing the new shares, to subscribing ADS holders, but only if ADS holders have paid the exercise price to the depositary. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute rights or ADSs or other securities issued on exercise of rights to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to restrictions on transfer.

● Other Distributions. The depositary will send to ADS holders anything else we distribute on deposited securities by any means it thinks is legal, fair and practical. If it cannot make the distribution in that way, the depositary has a choice. It may decide to sell what we distributed and distribute the net proceeds, in the same way as it does with cash. Or, it may decide to hold what we distributed, in which case ADSs will also represent the newly distributed property. However, the depositary is not required to distribute any securities (other than ADSs) to ADS holders unless it receives satisfactory evidence from us that it is legal to make that distribution. The depositary may sell a portion of the distributed securities or property sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in connection with that distribution. U.S. securities laws may restrict the ability of the depositary to distribute securities to all or certain ADS holders, and the securities distributed may be subject to restrictions on transfer. The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that you may not receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you.

The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADS holders. We have no obligation to register ADSs, shares, rights or other securities under the Securities Act. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, shares, rights or anything else to ADS holders. This means that ADS holders may not receive the distributions we make on our shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

The depositary will deliver ADSs if investors or their broker deposits shares or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian.  Upon payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will register the

9

appropriate number of ADSs in the names requested and will deliver the ADSs to or upon the order of the person or persons that made the deposit.

ADS holders may surrender their ADSs to the depositary for the purpose of withdrawal.  Upon payment of depositary’s fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, the depositary will deliver the shares and any other deposited securities underlying the ADSs to the ADS holder or a person the ADS holder designates at the office of the custodian.  Or, at the ADS holder request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the deposited securities at its office, if feasible.  However, the depositary is not required to accept surrender of ADSs to the extent it would require delivery of a fraction of a deposited share or other security.  The depositary may charge a fee and its expenses for instructing the custodian regarding delivery of deposited securities.

Investors may surrender their ADR to the depositary for the purpose of exchanging ADRs for uncertificated ADSs.  The depositary will cancel that ADR and will send to the ADS holder a statement confirming that the ADS holder is the registered holder of uncertificated ADSs.  Upon receipt by the depositary of a proper instruction from a registered holder of uncertificated ADSs requesting the exchange of uncertificated ADSs for certificated ADSs, the depositary will execute and deliver to the ADS holder an ADR evidencing those ADSs.

The depositary may only restrict the withdrawal of deposited securities in connection with the reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933:

● temporary delays caused by closing our transfer books or those of the depositary or the deposit of common or preferred shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends;

● the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges; or

● compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the ADRs or to the withdrawal of deposited securities.

This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the Deposit Agreement.

Voting Rights

Holders of the ADSs do not have the same voting rights as holders of our shares. Holders of the ADSs are entitled to the contractual rights set forth for their benefit under the Deposit Agreement.

ADS holders may instruct the depositary how to vote the number of deposited shares their ADSs represent.  If we request the depositary to solicit ADS holders voting instructions (and we are not required to do so), the depositary will notify you of a shareholders’ meeting and send or make voting materials available to you.  Those materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how ADS holders may instruct the depositary how to vote.  For instructions to be valid, they must reach the depositary by a date set by the depositary.  The depositary will try, as far as practical, subject to the laws of Brazil and the provisions of our bylaws or similar documents, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other deposited securities as instructed by ADS holders.  If we do not request the depositary to solicit your voting instructions, ADS holders can still send

10

voting instructions, and, in that case, the depositary may try to vote as you instruct, but it is not required to do so.  Except by instructing the depositary as described above, ADS holders won’t be able to exercise voting rights unless they surrender their ADSs and withdraw the shares.  However, ADS holders may not know about the meeting enough in advance to withdraw the shares.  In any event, the depositary will not exercise any discretion in voting deposited securities and it will only vote or attempt to vote as instructed, as set forth in the amended and restated deposit agreement.

We cannot assure ADS holders that they will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that they can instruct the depositary to vote their shares.  In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for the manner of carrying out voting instructions.  This means that ADS holders may not be able to exercise voting rights and there may be nothing they can do if their shares are not voted as requested.  In order to give ADS holders a reasonable opportunity to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to securities deposited with the Depositary as part of our ADR program, if we request the Depositary to act, we agree to give the depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 45 days in advance of the meeting date.

Amendment and Termination

We may agree with the depositary to amend the amended and restated deposit agreement and the ADRs without your consent for any reason.  If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and other governmental charges or expenses of the depositary for registration fees, facsimile costs, delivery charges or similar items, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary notifies ADS holders of the amendment.  At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold your ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the amended and restated deposit agreement as amended.

The depositary will initiate termination of the deposit agreement if we instruct it to do so.  The depositary may initiate termination of the deposit agreement if: (i) 60 days have passed since the depositary told us it wants to resign but a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment; (ii) we delist our shares from an exchange on which they were listed and do not list the shares on another exchange; (iii) we appear to be insolvent or enter insolvency proceedings; (iv) all or substantially all the value of the deposited securities has been distributed either in cash or in the form of securities; (v) there are no deposited securities underlying the ADSs or the underlying deposited securities have become apparently worthless; or (vi) there has been a replacement of deposited securities.

If the deposit agreement will terminate, the depositary will notify ADS holders at least 90 days before the termination date.  At any time after the termination date, the depositary may sell the deposited securities.  After that, the depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash it is holding under the deposit agreement, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not surrendered their ADSs.  Normally, the depositary will sell as soon as practicable after the termination date.

11

If the depositary is advised by counsel that it could be subject to material legal liability because we failed to provide information required by Brazilian regulators, the depositary may terminate the amended and restated deposit agreement on as little as 15 days’ notice.

After the termination date and before the depositary sells, ADS holders can still surrender their ADSs and receive delivery of deposited securities, except that the depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing deposited securities or reverse previously accepted surrenders of that kind if it would interfere with the selling process.  The depositary may refuse to accept a surrender for the purpose of withdrawing sale proceeds until all the deposited securities have been sold.  The depositary will continue to collect distributions on deposited securities, but, after the termination date, the depositary is not required to register any transfer of ADSs or distribute any dividends or other distributions on deposited securities to the ADSs holder (until they surrender their ADSs) or give any notices or perform any other duties under the amended and restated deposit agreement except as described in this paragraph.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability to ADS Holders

Prior to the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, or cancellation of any ADRs, or the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, and from time to time in the case of the production of proofs as described below, we or the depositary or its custodian may require:

● payment with respect thereto of (i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the registration of transfers of common shares or other deposited securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable fees and expenses described in the Deposit Agreement;

● the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity of any signatory and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence, exchange control approval, beneficial or other ownership of, or interest in, any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing deposited securities and terms of the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs, as it may deem necessary or proper; and

● compliance with such regulations as the depositary may establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement.

The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of common shares, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or the withdrawal of common shares, may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR register or any register for deposited securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the depositary.

The Deposit Agreement expressly limits the obligations and liability of the depositary, ourselves and each of our and the depositary’s respective agents, provided, however, that no provision of the Deposit Agreement is intended to constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights which ADR holders or beneficial owners of ADSs may have under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable.  The Deposit Agreement provides that we and the depositary:

12

● are only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the amended and restated deposit agreement without negligence or bad faith, and the depositary will not be a fiduciary or have any fiduciary duty to holders of ADSs;

● are not liable if we are or it is prevented or delayed by law or by events or circumstances beyond our or its ability to prevent or counteract with reasonable care or effort from performing our or its obligations under the amended and restated deposit agreement;

● are not liable if we or it exercises discretion permitted under the amended and restated deposit agreement;

● are not liable for the inability of any holder of ADSs to benefit from any distribution on deposited securities that is not made available to holders of ADSs under the terms of the deposit agreement, or for any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the amended and restated deposit agreement, or for any;

● have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to the ADSs or the amended and restated deposit agreement on your behalf or on behalf of any other person;

● may rely upon any documents we believe or it believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person;

● are not liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system; and

● the depositary has no duty to make any determination or provide any information as to our tax status, or any liability for any tax consequences that may be incurred by ADS holders as a result of owning or holding ADSs or be liable for the inability or failure of an ADS holder to obtain the benefit of a foreign tax credit, reduced rate of withholding or refund of amounts withheld in respect of tax or any other tax benefit.

The depositary shall not be a fiduciary or have any fiduciary duty to ADR holders or beneficial owners of ADSs.  The depositary shall not be subject to any liability with respect to the validity or worth of the deposited securities, the ADSs or the ADRs.  Neither the depositary nor we shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit, or other proceeding in respect of any deposited securities or in respect of the ADS, on behalf of any ADR holders or beneficial owners of ADSs or other person.  Neither the depositary nor we shall be liable for any action or non-action by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting shares for deposit, any ADR holder or beneficial owners of ADSs, or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.  Each of the depositary and we may rely, and shall be protected in relying upon, any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.  The depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the depositary or in connection with a matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability

13

arises, the depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as depositary. The depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system in connection with or arising out of book-entry settlement of ADSs or deposited securities or otherwise.  In the absence of bad faith on its part, the depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the deposited securities, the ADSs or the ADRs or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote. The depositary shall have no duty to make any determination or provide any information as to our or any liability for any tax consequences that may be incurred by ADR holders or beneficial owners of ADSs as a result of owning or holding ADSs.  The depositary shall not be liable for the inability or failure of an ADR holder or beneficial owner of ADSs to obtain the benefit of a foreign tax credit, reduced rate of withholding or refund of amounts withheld in respect of tax or any other tax benefit.  No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of the deposit agreement.

Additionally, none of us, the depositary or the custodian shall be liable for the failure by any ADR holder or beneficial owner of ADSs to obtain the benefits of credits or refunds of non-U.S. tax paid against such ADR holder’s or beneficial owner’s income tax liability.

The depositary and its agents may own and deal in any class of securities of our company and our affiliates and in ADSs.

Books of Depositary

The depositary or its agent will keep books for the registration and transfers of ADSs, which shall be open for inspection by the ADS holders at the depositary’s office during regular business hours, provided that such inspection is not for the purpose of communicating with ADS holders in the interest of a business or object other than our or a matter related to the deposit agreement or the ADSs.  Such register (and/or any portion thereof) may be closed at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by the depositary, and the depositary may also close the issuance book portion of such register when reasonably requested by us solely in order to enable us to comply with applicable law.

The depositary will maintain facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs.

III. DEBT SECURITIES

The following description of our debt securities and certain material provisions of our prospectus and guaranties is a summary and does not purport to be complete.  It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the respective indentures, any supplement to such indentures, the instruments representing each series of the Notes and any applicable law, as amended from time to time.  Certain terms, unless otherwise defined here, have the meaning given to them in the relevant indenture.

We encourage you to read the indentures governing the Notes, as well as the applicable sections of our annual report for additional information.

General

Any debt securities issued by Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance is governed by a document called an indenture.  The indenture is a contract entered into between any one of us, and a trustee, currently Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”), as well as us, as guarantor and as successor of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria”).  The Trustee has the following main roles:

(i)first, the trustee can enforce debt securities holders’ rights against us if we default on our obligations under the indenture or the debt securities, although there are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on debt securities holders behalf that are described under “—Events of Default”; and

(ii)second, the trustee performs administrative duties for the debt securities holders, such as sending payments and notices to debt securities holders.

Suzano Austria will issue debt securities guaranteed by Suzano under an indenture we refer to as the Suzano Austria indenture. Fibria Overseas Finance will issue debt securities guaranteed by Suzano under an indenture we refer to as the Fibria Overseas Finance indenture.

Together or separately, Suzano Austria, Fibria Overseas Finance and us may issue as many distinct series of debt securities under our indentures as are authorized by the corporate bodies that are required under applicable law and our corporate organizational documents to authorize the issuance of debt securities.  Specific issuances of debt securities will also be governed by a supplemental indenture, an officer’s certificate or a document evidencing the authorization of any such corporate body.  This summary contains material terms of the debt securities that are common to all series and to each of the indentures, unless otherwise indicated in this Exhibit 2.4 and in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series.

As listed in the table above, until December 31, 2021 we have 7 outstanding Notes issued in U.S. dollar, which were all based on the following 4 different indentures, as applicably amended: (i) indenture entered into by Suzano Austria and the Trustee on September 20, 2018 (“2018 Suzano Austria Base Indenture”); (ii) indenture entered into by Suzano Austria and the Trustee on May 29, 2019 (“2019 Suzano Austria Base Indenture”); (iii) indenture entered into by Suzano Austria and the Trustee on January 24, 2020 (“2020 Suzano Austria Base Indenture” and, together with the 2018 Suzano Austria Base Indenture and the 2019 Suzano Austria Base Indenture, the “Suzano Austria Base Indentures”); (iv) indenture entered into by Fibria Overseas Finance and the Trustee on May 12, 2014 (“2014 Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indenture”); and (v) indenture entered into

16

by Fibria Overseas and the Trustee on November 14, 2017 (“2017 Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indenture” and, together with the 2014 Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indenture, “Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indentures”).

In addition, as result of a merger of Fibria into us, on April 1, 2019, we assumed all of Fibria’s obligations under the 2014 Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indenture and the 2017 Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indenture, and terms such as “Suzano,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used in this Exhibit 2.4 shall refer to Suzano itself, together with its subsidiaries (including Fibria Overseas Finance and Suzano Austria) or as Fibria’s successor, as the case may be.

Each of the indentures and their associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described herein.  We have agreed that New York law governs the indentures and the debt securities.  We have filed a copy of all applicable indentures with the SEC as exhibits to our respective registration statements.  We have consented in each indenture to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal court sitting in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, United States and any appellate court from any thereof.

Types of Debt Securities

This section summarizes material terms of the debt securities that are common to all series and to the Suzano Austria and Fibria Overseas Finance indentures, unless otherwise indicated in this section or in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series.

Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the debt securities.  This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the indentures, including the definition of various terms used in the indentures.  For example, we describe the meanings for only the more important terms that have been given special meanings in the indentures.

We may issue original issue discount securities, which are debt securities that are offered and sold at a substantial discount to their stated principal amount.  We may also issue indexed securities or securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, currency units or composite currencies, as described in more detail in the prospectus supplement relating to any such debt securities.  We will describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences and any further specific U.S. federal income tax consequences and any other special considerations applicable to original issue discount, indexed or foreign currency debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In addition, the material financial, legal and other terms particular to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.  Those terms may vary from the terms described here.  Accordingly, this summary also is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the terms of the series described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In addition, the prospectus supplement will state whether we will list the debt securities of the series on any stock exchanges and, if so, which ones.

17

Form, Exchange and Transfer

The notes will be issued, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in fully registered form without interest coupons, in minimum denominations of U.S.$200,000, in case of the 2018 Suzano Austria Base Indenture and the 2019 Suzano Austria Base Indenture, or U.S.$2,000 in case of the Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indentures and any integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 thereof, and minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 in case of the 2020 Suzano Austria Base Indenture and integral multiples thereof.  The debt holders may have the debt securities broken into more debt securities of smaller denominations or combined into fewer debt securities of larger denominations, as long as the total principal amount is not changed.  This is called an exchange.

Debt holders may exchange or transfer their registered debt securities at the office of the trustee.  The Trustee will maintain an office in New York, New York. The trustee acts as our agent for registering debt securities in the names of holders and transferring registered debt securities.  The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the “security registrar.”  It will also register transfers of the registered debt securities.

Holders will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities, but may be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge associated with the registration of transfer or exchange.  The transfer or exchange of a registered debt security will only be made if holders have duly endorsed the debt security or provided the security registrar with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory in form to the security registrar.

If we designate additional transfer agents, they will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.  We may cancel the designation of any particular transfer agent.  We may also approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts or choose to act as our transfer agent.

If the debt securities are redeemable and we redeem less than all of the debt securities of a particular series, we may block the transfer or exchange of debt securities in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing during the period beginning 15 days before the day we mail the notice of redemption and ending on the day of that mailing.  We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of debt securities selected for redemption.  However, we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any debt security being partially redeemed.

Payment and Paying Agents

Debt securities in registered form, will have interest paid to the direct holder listed in the trustee’s records at the close of business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if such holder no longer own the security on the interest due date.  That particular day is called the “regular record date” and will be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We will pay interest, principal (and premium, if any) and any other money due on global registered debt securities pursuant to the applicable procedures of the depositary or, if the debt securities are not in global form, at our office or agency maintained for that purpose in New York, New York.  We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks.  For the Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indentures, upon application by a holder to the specified office of the trustee or any paying agent

18

not less than 10 business days before the due date for any payment in respect of a debt security, such payment may be made by transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the holder with a bank in New York City.  We may also arrange for additional payment offices, and we may cancel or change our use of these offices, including our use of the trustee’s corporate trust office.  These offices are called “paying agents.”  We may appoint paying agents outside the United States for a specific issuance of securities.  We may also choose to act as our own paying agent.

Regardless of who acts as paying agent, all money that we pay as principal, premium or interest to a paying agent, or then held by us in trust, that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the amount is due to a direct holder will, subject to any unclaimed property laws, be repaid to us or (if then held in trust) discharged from trust.  After that two-year period, direct holders may look only to us for payment and not to the trustee, any other paying agent or anyone else.

Notices

We and the trustee will send notices only to direct holders, using their addresses as listed in the registrar’s records.  In addition, if the debt securities of a series are listed on a securities exchange, we will provide notice to the holders in accordance with the applicable rules of such exchange.

Modification and Waiver

Each indenture provides several categories of changes that can be made to the indenture and the debt securities issued under that indenture.  Such changes may or may not require the consent of the holders, as described below.

1)Changes Requiring Each Holder’s Approval. Each indenture provides that there are changes to the indenture that cannot be made without the approval of each holder of the outstanding debt securities affected thereby. Those types of changes include:

● reduce the rate of interest on any debt security or extend the stated maturity of any payment of interest on any debt security;

● reduce the principal amount of any debt security or extend the stated maturity of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) any debt security;

● reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any debt security (i) for the Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indentures, or change the time at which any debt security may be redeemed; or (ii) for the Suzano Austria Base Indentures, in respect of an optional redemption, change the times at which any debt security may be redeemed or, once notice of redemption has been given, change the time at which it must thereupon be redeemed;

● a change in the currency of any payment on a debt security or its place of payment;

● an impairment of the holder’s right to sue for payment of any amount due on a debt security;

19

● a reduction in the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities the consent of the holders of which is needed to modify or amend the indenture or a debt security or waive compliance with various provisions of the indenture; and

● Specifically for Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indentures:

- a waiver of specified defaults in payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on a debt security;

- amend any provisions of the payment obligations under guarantees in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the holders; and

- make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require each holder’s consent.

It is not necessary for holders of the debt securities to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.

Neither Suzano nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indentures or the debt securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all holders of the debt securities that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment.

2)Changes Not Requiring Approval. Each indenture provides that there are changes to the indenture that do not require any approval by holders of outstanding debt securities under that indenture.  Those types of changes include:

● to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or the debt securities;

● to comply with the covenant described under the caption “—Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Substantially All Assets”;

● to evidence and provide for the acceptance of an appointment by a successor trustee;

● to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of Certificated debt securities;

● to provide for any guarantee of the debt securities, to secure the debt securities or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any guarantee of or Lien securing the debt securities when such release, termination or discharge is permitted by the indenture;

● to provide for or confirm the issuance of additional debt securities; or

20

● to make any other change that does not materially, adversely affect the rights of any holder or to conform the indenture to this “Description of the Debt Securities” or the “Description of the Notes” in the applicable  prospectus supplement.

3)Changes Requiring a Majority Vote.  Each indenture provides that other changes to the indenture and the outstanding debt securities under the indenture requires the approval by the holders of debt securities that together represent a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the particular series affected.  This approval would also be required for us to obtain a waiver of all or part of any covenants described below under “—Certain Covenants of Suzano” or in the applicable prospectus supplement, for us to obtain a waiver of a past default, or to rescind or annul a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee if subject to the conditions described in “Events of Default—Remedies Upon an Event of Default.”  The required approval must be given by written consent.  However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or any other aspect of an indenture or the debt securities issued under that indenture described above under “—Changes Requiring Each Holder’s Approval” unless we obtain the consent of all holders of the debt securities issued under that indentures to the waiver.

Further Details Concerning Voting

Debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore the holders of those debt securities will not be eligible to vote or take other action under the applicable indenture, if we have deposited or set aside in trust for the holders money for their payment or redemption.  Debt securities will also not be eligible to vote or take other action under the applicable indenture if they have been defeased as described under “—Defeasance and Discharge.”  Debt securities held by us, Suzano Austria, Fibria Overseas or our affiliates are not considered outstanding.

We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding debt securities that are entitled to vote or take other action under the applicable indenture.  In limited circumstances, the trustee, and not us, will be entitled to set a record date for action by holders.  If a record date is set for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of a particular series, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding debt securities of that series on the record date and must be taken within 180 days following the record date or another period that we or, if it sets the record date, the trustee may specify.  This period may be shortened or lengthened (but not beyond 180 days).

Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how approval may be granted or denied if we seek to change the indenture or the debt securities or request a waiver.

Redemption

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund; that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate custodial account to repay the debt securities.  In addition, other than as set forth in “—Optional Tax Redemption” below, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be entitled to redeem the debt securities before their stated maturity.

21

If the applicable prospectus supplement specifies a redemption date, it will also specify one or more redemption prices, which may be expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of your debt security or by reference to one or more formulae used to determine the redemption price. It may also specify one or more redemption periods during which the redemption prices relating to a redemption of debt securities during those periods will apply.

If the applicable prospectus supplement specifies a redemption commencement date, we may redeem the debt securities at our option at any time on or after that date.  If we redeem the debt securities, we will do so at the specified redemption price, together with interest accrued to the redemption date.  If different prices are specified for different redemption periods, the price we pay will be the price that applies to the redemption period during which the debt securities is redeemed.  If less than all of the debt securities are redeemed at any time, the trustee will authenticate and deliver to the holder of such debt securities without service charge, a new debt security or securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the debt security so surrendered.  If less than all of the debt securities are redeemed, the debt securities to be redeemed will be determined in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.

In the event that we exercise an option to redeem any debt securities, we will give to the trustee and the holders written notice of the principal amount of the debt securities to be redeemed, not less than five business days nor more than 60 days for the Suzano Austria Base Indentures or 60 business days for Fibria Overseas Finance Base Indentures, before the applicable redemption date.  We will give the notice in the manner described above under “—Notices.”

Optional Tax Redemption

If, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or treaties (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of any Relevant Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation, administration or application of such laws, treaties, rules, or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment or change in official position becomes effective on or after the issue date, or, with respect to a successor, after the date a successor assumes the obligations under the debt securities or the debt securities guarantees, Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance or their successors have or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described below under “— Payment of Additional Amounts” in excess of the Additional Amounts that Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance would be obligated to pay if payments were subject to withholding or deduction at a rate of 15% (or at a rate of 25% in case the holder of the debt securities is resident in a tax haven jurisdiction, i.e., countries which do not impose any income tax or which impose it at a maximum rate lower than 20% or where the laws impose restrictions on the disclosure of ownership composition or securities ownership) as a result of the taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges described above (the “Minimum Withholding Level”), then we may, at our option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the debt securities of the series so affected, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest and Additional Amounts accrued to the date fixed for redemption, upon publication of irrevocable notice not less than 30 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

22

No notice of such redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which we would, but for such redemption, be obligated to pay the Additional Amounts above the Minimum Withholding Level, were a payment then due.  We shall not have the right to so redeem the debt securities in the event we become obliged to pay Additional Amounts which are less than the Additional Amounts payable at the Minimum Withholding Level.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not have the right to so redeem the debt securities unless:  (i) it has taken measures it considers reasonable to avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts; and (ii) it has complied with all applicable regulations to legally effect such redemption; provided, however, that for this purpose reasonable measures shall not include any change in Suzano Austria’s or Fibria Overseas Finance’s or any successor’s jurisdiction of incorporation or organization or location of each of their principal executive or registered office.

Open Market Purchases

Subject to any restrictions described in the applicable prospectus supplement, we or our affiliates may at any time purchase debt securities from investors who are willing to sell from time to time, either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices.  Debt securities that we or they purchase may, in our discretion, be held, resold or canceled, but will only be resold in compliance with applicable requirements or exemptions under the relevant securities laws.

Payment of Additional Amounts

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, all payments in respect of the debt securities issued thereunder and the related guarantee, if any, will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments, or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of (i) Brazil, (ii) Austria; (iii) the Cayman Islands, or (iii) or any other jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof from or through which a payment is made or in which Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance (or any successor to each of them) is organized or is a resident for tax purposes having power to tax (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), unless we are compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.  In such event, Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable, will make such deduction or withholding, make payment of the amount so withheld to the appropriate governmental authority and pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the net amounts receivable by holders of debt securities after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would have been receivable in respect of the debt securities in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Amounts”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Additional Amounts shall be payable:

i. in respect of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the existence of any present or former connection between the holder or beneficial owner of the debt securities (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder or beneficial owner, if such holder or beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership, a limited liability company or a corporation) and the Relevant Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or

23

having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein, other than the mere holding of the debt securities or enforcement of rights and the receipt of payments with respect to the debt securities;

ii. in respect of debt securities presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the holder of such debt securities would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts, on surrender of such debt securities for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;

iii. in respect of any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the failure by the holder, the beneficial owner of the debt securities, or, in the case of amounts payable to the Trustee, the Trustee to (i) make a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption, to which it is entitled, or (ii) comply with any certification, identification or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction, if (1) compliance is required by the Relevant Jurisdiction, as a precondition to, exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, the tax, assessment or other governmental charge and (2) the Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance has given the holders or the Trustee, as applicable, at least 30 days’ notice that holders will be required to provide such certification, identification or other requirement; provided that, in no event, shall such holder’s, beneficial owner’s, or Trustee’s requirement to make a valid and legal claim for exemption from or reduction of such taxes require such holder, beneficial owner or the Trustee to provide any materially more onerous information, documents or other evidence than would be required to be provided had such holder, beneficial owner or the Trustee been required to file U.S. IRS Forms W-8 or W-9, as applicable;

iv. in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

v. any withholding or deduction that is imposed on the debt securities that is presented for payment, where presentation is required, by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting such debt securities to another paying agent;

vi. in respect of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments of principal of or interest on the debt securities; or

vii. in respect of any combination of the above.

In addition, no Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment on a debt security to a holder who is a fiduciary, a partnership, a limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Jurisdiction to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership, an interest holder in a limited liability

24

company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder.

The prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities may describe additional circumstances in which we would not be required to pay additional amounts.

For purposes of the above, “Relevant Date” means, with respect to any payment on a debt security, whichever is the later of:  (i) the date on which such payment first becomes due; and (ii) if the full amount payable has not been received by the Trustee on or prior to such due date, the date on which notice is given to the holders that the full amount has been received by the Trustee.

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe additional circumstances in which we would not be required to pay additional amounts.

Any reference in this document, any prospectus supplement, the indentures or the debt securities to principal, interest or any other amount payable in respect of the debt securities by Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance or the debt securities guarantees by the guarantor will be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amount, unless the context requires otherwise, that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this subsection.

Suzano Austria and Fibria Overseas Finance shall promptly pay when due any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any Relevant Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of each note or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein except, in certain cases, for taxes, charges or similar levies resulting from certain registrations of transfer or exchange debt securities.

The foregoing obligation will survive termination or discharge of the indentures, payment of the debt securities and/or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or any agent hereunder.

The debt securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation.  Except as specifically provided above, we will not be required to make a payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Liens

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Suzano will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur or permit to exist any Lien securing the payment of Debt on any of its properties or assets, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the debt securities or the debt securities guarantees, as applicable, are secured equally and ratably with (or, if the obligation to be secured by the Lien is subordinated in right of payment to the debt securities or any debt securities guarantees, prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

25

Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Suzano will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Property unless Suzano or such Subsidiary would be entitled to create a Lien on such Property or asset securing the Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the debt securities pursuant to the covenant described under the heading “—Limitation on Liens,” in which case, the corresponding Lien will be deemed incurred pursuant to such provision.

Repurchase of Debt Securities upon a Change of Control

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, not later than 30 days following a Change of Control that results in a Rating Decline for any series of debt securities, Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance shall make an Offer to Purchase all outstanding debt securities of such series at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

An “Offer to Purchase” must be made by written offer, which will specify the principal amount of debt securities subject to the offer and the purchase price.  The offer must specify an expiration date (the “expiration date”) not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of the offer and a settlement date for purchase (the “purchase date”) not more than five Business Days after the expiration date.  The offer must include information concerning the business of Suzano and its Subsidiaries which Suzano or Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance in good faith believes will enable the holders to make an informed decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase.  The offer will also contain instructions and materials necessary to enable holders to tender debt securities pursuant to the offer.

A holder may tender all or any portion of its debt securities pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, subject to the minimum denomination requirement and the requirement that any portion of a debt security tendered must be in a multiple of U.S.$1,000 principal amount.  Holders are entitled to withdraw debt securities tendered up to the close of business on the expiration date.  On the purchase date, the purchase price will become due and payable on each debt securities accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, and interest on debt securities purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date provided that payment is made available on that date.

We will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act (to the extent applicable) and all other applicable laws and regulations in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

We are only required to offer to repurchase the debt securities of a series in the event that a Change of Control results in a Rating Decline for such series.  Consequently, if a Change of Control were to occur which does not result in a Rating Decline, Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance would not be required to offer to repurchase the debt securities of such series.  In addition, neither Suzano Austria nor Fibria Overseas Finance will be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to an Offer to Purchase made by Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance and purchases all debt securities of

26

such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Offer to Purchase, or (2) notice of redemption for all outstanding debt securities of such series has been given pursuant to the indentures as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Offer to Purchase is made.

Certain existing and/or future Debt of Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance may provide that a Change of Control is a default or require repurchase upon a Change of Control.  Moreover, the exercise by the noteholders of their right to require Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance to purchase the debt securities could cause a default under other debt, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of the purchase on Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance.  In addition, any remittance of funds outside of Brazil to noteholders or the Trustee may require the consent of the Central Bank, which may not be granted.  Our ability to pay cash to the noteholders following the occurrence of a Change of Control may be limited by Suzano Austria’s or Fibria Overseas Finance’s then existing financial resources.  There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make the required purchase of the debt securities.

Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the applicable indenture will not contain provisions that permit the holder of the debt securities to require that Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance purchase or redeem the debt securities in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

The provisions under the applicable indentures relating to Suzano Austria’s or Fibria Overseas Finance’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the debt securities as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or amended as described in “—Modification and Waiver.”

Maintenance of Properties

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Suzano will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order as in the judgment of Suzano may be necessary so that the business of Suzano and its Subsidiaries may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided that nothing shall prevent Suzano or any of its Subsidiaries from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of Suzano, desirable in the conduct of the business of Suzano and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Substitution of the Issuer

Without the consent of any holder of the debt securities (and, by purchasing any debt securities, each holder expressly consents to the provisions of this section), Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as the case may be, may be substituted by (a) Suzano or (b) any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Suzano as principal debtor in respect of the debt securities (in each case, in that capacity, the “Successor Issuer”); provided that the following conditions are satisfied:

a) such documents will be executed by the Successor Issuer, Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable, Suzano and the Trustee as may be necessary to give full effect to the substitution, including (i) a supplemental indenture under which the Successor Issuer assumes all of the obligations of Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable under the applicable indenture and the debt securities and, unless the Guarantor’s then existing guarantees remain in full force and effect, substitute guarantees issued by the Guarantor in respect of the debt securities and (ii) a Subsidiary guarantee by Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable (collectively, the “Issuer Substitution Documents”);

b) the Issuer Substitution Documents will contain covenants (i) to ensure that each holder of the debt securities has the benefit of a covenant in terms corresponding to the obligations of Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable, in respect of the payment of Additional Amounts (but replacing references to Austria or Cayman Islands, as applicable, with references to the jurisdiction of organization of the Successor Issuer); and (ii) to indemnify each holder and beneficial owner of the debt securities against all taxes or duties (a) which arise by reason of a law or regulation in effect or contemplated on the effective date of the substitution, which may be incurred or levied against such holder or beneficial owner of the debt securities as a

30

result of the substitution and which would not have been so incurred or levied had the substitution not been made and (b) which are imposed on such holder or beneficial owner of the debt securities by any political subdivision or taxing authority of any country in which such holder or beneficial owner of the debt securities resides or is subject to any such tax or duty and which would not have been so imposed had the substitution not been made;

c) the Successor Issuer will deliver, or cause the delivery, to the Trustee of opinions from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in the jurisdiction of organization of the Successor Issuer, Austria or Cayman Islands, as applicable, Brazil and New York as to the validity, legally binding effect and enforceability of the Issuer Substitution Documents, the applicable indenture, the debt securities and the debt securities guarantees and specified other legal matters, as well as an officers’ certificate and opinion as to compliance with the provisions of the applicable indenture, including those provisions described under this section;

Not later than 10 Business Days after the execution of the Issuer Substitution Documents, the Successor Issuer will give notice thereof to the holders of the debt securities.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the applicable indenture, the Guarantor will (unless it is the Successor Issuer) promptly execute and deliver any documents or instruments necessary or that the Trustee may reasonably request, to ensure that the debt securities guarantees are in full force and effect for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of debt securities following the substitution.

Defeasance and Discharge

The following discussion of full defeasance and covenant defeasance will apply to the series of debt securities.

31

Full Defeasance

We can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the debt securities, except for various obligations described below (called “full defeasance”), if we, in addition to other actions, put in place the following arrangements for you to be repaid:

● We must irrevocably deposit in trust for debt securities holders benefit and the benefit of all other direct holders of the debt securities a combination of money and non-callable U.S. government or U.S. government agency debt securities or bonds that, in the opinion of a firm of nationally recognized independent public accounts, will generate enough cash without reinvestment to make interest, principal and any other payments, including additional amounts, on the debt securities on their various due dates.

● We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel, based upon a ruling by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or upon a change in applicable U.S. federal income tax law, confirming that under then current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing debt securities holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves.

If we ever did accomplish full defeasance as described above, debt securities holders would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment on the debt securities.  Debt securities holders could not look to us for repayment in the unlikely event of any shortfall.  Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever become bankrupt or insolvent.  However, even if we take these actions, a number of our obligations relating to the debt securities will remain.  These include the following obligations:

● to register the transfer and exchange of debt securities;

● to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities;

● to maintain paying agencies;

● to hold money for payment in trust; and

● to indemnify the trustee according to the terms of the indenture.

Covenant Defeasance

We can make the same type of deposit described above and be released from all or some of the restrictive covenants (if any) that apply to the debt securities of any particular series.  This is called “covenant defeasance.”  In that event, you would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection of having money and securities set aside in trust to repay the debt securities. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:

● We must irrevocably deposit in trust for your benefit and the benefit of all other direct holders of the debt securities a combination of money and non-callable U.S. government or U.S. government agency debt securities or bonds that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants, will generate enough cash without

32

reinvestment to make interest, principal and any other payments, including additional amounts, on the debt securities on their various due dates.

● We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that under then current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing debt securities holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves.

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, the following provisions of the indenture and/or the debt securities would no longer apply:

● Any covenants applicable to the series of debt securities and described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

● The events of default relating to breach of those covenants being defeased and acceleration of the maturity of other debt, described later under “Events of Default”.

Events of Default

Each indenture provides that you will have rights if you hold debt securities issued under that indenture and an event of default occurs under that indenture and is not cured or waived, as described later in this subsection and as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

What is an Event of Default?  Each indenture provides that the term “Event of Default” with respect to any series of debt securities means any of the following, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement:

a) failure to pay any interest (or additional amounts, if any) on any of the debt securities of that series on the date when due, which failure continues for a period of 30 days; or failure to pay any principal or premium, if any (or additional amounts, if any), on any of the debt securities of that series on the date when due, which failure continues for a period of 7 days;

b) Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable, fails to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements in respect of the debt securities of that series or the applicable indenture (other than those referred in the item above) and such failure continues for a period of 60 days after Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable, receives a notice of default from the trustee acting at the written direction of holders of 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series; or by the holders of 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series;

c) The maturity of any Debt in a total aggregate principal amount of U.S.$75,000,000 or more is accelerated in accordance with the terms of that Debt, it being understood that prepayment or redemption by Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance or any of the Significant Subsidiaries thereof, as applicable, of any Debt is not acceleration for this purpose;

33

d) One or more final and non-appealable judgments or orders for the payment of money are rendered against Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and are not paid or discharged, and there is a period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final and non-appealable judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final and non-appealable judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed U.S.$75,000,000 or the equivalent thereof at the time of determination (in excess of amounts which Suzano’s insurance carriers have agreed to pay under applicable policies) during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect;

e) Suzano pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (1) commences a voluntary case or files a request or petition for a writ of execution to initiate bankruptcy proceedings or have itself adjudicated as bankrupt; (2) applies for or consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; (3) applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; (4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (5) proposes or agrees to an accord or composition in bankruptcy between itself and its creditors; or (6) files for a reorganization of its debts (judicial or extrajudicial recovery);

f) A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (1) is for relief against Suzano in an involuntary case; (2) appoints a custodian of Suzano or for any substantial part of the property of Suzano; (3) orders the winding up or liquidation of Suzano; (4) adjudicates Suzano as bankrupt or insolvent; (5) ratifies an accord or composition in bankruptcy between Suzano and the respective creditors thereof; or (6) grants a judicial or extrajudicial recovery to Suzano, and in the case of any of (1) through (6), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

g) The Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant indenture, or Suzano denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Guarantee;

h) Any event occurs that under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction has substantially the same effect as any of the events referred to in any of items (d), (e) or (f) of this section; or

i) all or substantially all of the undertaking, assets and revenues of Suzano, Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Material Subsidiary is condemned, seized or otherwise appropriated by any Person acting under the authority of any national, regional or local government or the Company, Suzano or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary is prevented by any such Person for a period of 60 consecutive days or longer from exercising normal control over all or substantially all of its undertaking, assets and revenues.

An event of default for a particular series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default for any other series of debt securities issued under the applicable indenture, although the default and acceleration of one series of debt securities may trigger a default and acceleration of another series of debt securities.

34

The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than a payment default) unless a written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the particular Notes and the Indenture.

Remedies upon an Event of Default. If an event of default has occurred and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. If an event of default occurs because of certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, or an equivalent proceeding under the applicable law, the principal amount of all the debt securities of that series will be automatically accelerated without any action by the trustee, any holder or any other person. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series.

Except in cases of default, where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee is not required to take any action under the indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity from expenses and liability.  If satisfactory indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee.  These same holders may also direct the trustee in performing any other action under the indenture.

Before you bypass the trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the debt securities, the following must occur:

● You must give the trustee written notice that an event of default has occurred and remains uncured.

● The holders of 25% in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of the relevant series must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default, and must offer satisfactory indemnity or security to the trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action.

● The trustee must have not taken action for 60 days after receipt of the above notice and offer of indemnity or security.

● The holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of the relevant series must not have given the trustee a direction during the sixty-day period that is inconsistent with the above notice.

However, you are entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on your debt security on or after its due date and if your debt security is convertible or exchangeable into another security to bring a lawsuit for the enforcement of your right to convert or exchange your debt security or to receive securities upon conversion or exchange.

35

Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to give notice or direction to or make a request of the trustee and to make or cancel a declaration of acceleration.

We will furnish to the trustee within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year every year a written statement of certain of our officers that will either certify that, to the best of their knowledge, we are in compliance with the indenture and the debt securities or specify any default.

Waiver of Defaults

The holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of any series may waive any default and its consequences for the debt securities of the series, except for defaults which cannot be waived without the consent of each holder.  If this happens, the default will be treated as if it had not occurred.  No one can waive a payment default, however, without the approval of each holder of the affected series of securities.

Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to give notice or direction to or make a request of the trustee and how to waive a default.

Guaranty

Suzano fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the debt securities issued by Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, both being wholly-owned subsidiaries of Suzano, and all obligations due under the related indentures.  The following description summarizes the general terms and provisions of the guarantee that is provided by Suzano in the Suzano Austria indenture and the Fibria Overseas Finance indenture.  Debt securities holders should read the more detailed provisions of the Suzano Austria indenture and the Fibria Overseas Finance indenture, including the defined terms, for provisions that may be important to debt securities holders.  This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Suzano Austria indenture and the Fibria Overseas Finance indenture.

Pursuant to the Suzano Austria indenture and the Fibria Overseas Finance indenture, Suzano has fully, irrevocably and unconditionally agreed, from time to time upon the receipt of notice from the trustee that Suzano Austria and/or Fibria Overseas Finance, as the case may be, has failed to make the required payments under a series of debt securities and the Suzano Austria indenture and/or the Fibria Overseas Finance indenture, as the case may be, to make any required payment, whether of principal, interest or any other amounts.  The amount to be paid by Suzano under the each of the guarantees will be an amount equal to the amount of the payment Suzano Austria or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable, fails to make.

The obligations of Suzano under each of the guarantees will rank:

● equal in right of payment to all other existing and future senior unsecured debt of Suzano subject to certain statutory preferences under applicable law, including labor and tax claims;

● senior in right of payment to Suzano’s subordinated debt; and

43

● effectively subordinated to the debt and other liabilities (including subordinated debt and trade payables) of Suzano’s subsidiaries (other than Suzano Austria and/or Fibria Overseas Finance, as applicable) and jointly controlled companies and to secured debt of Suzano to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt.

We are obligated to make these payments by the expiration of any applicable grace periods under the indentures and the applicable terms of the debt securities.  We may have the right to defer our obligation under the guaranty to make payments under certain circumstances described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Except as otherwise permitted by the guaranty, we have to maintain in effect our corporate existence and to take all actions to maintain all rights, privileges, titles to property, franchises and the like necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of our business, activities or operations.

As long as the Notes are outstanding, we will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices to and demands upon we in respect of the guaranty may be served.

The guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Thus, Company's initiatives are based on three pillars:

(i) Protection for people: in order to provide security to its employees and third parties workers on site, Suzano adopted a series of measures to minimize exposure of its team and / or mitigate exposure risks.

(ii) Protection of society: one of Suzano's three cultural drivers is: “It is only good for us, if it is good for the world”. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Suzano has adopted a series of measures to protect society, including:

● Donation of toilet paper, napkins and disposable diapers produced by the Company for needy regions.

● Acquisition of 159 respirators and 1,000,000 hospital masks for donation to the Federal and State Governments.

● Participation in joint action with Positivo Tecnologia, Klabin, Flextronics and Embraer, to support the Brazilian company Magnamed, in the production of respirators to deliver to the Federal Government. Suzano's disbursement in this action was R$9,584 in 2020.

● Donation of oxygen concentrators acquired in a joint action involving Suzano, Bradesco, BRF, B3, Embraer, Gerdau, Ultra Group, Itaú Unibanco, Magazine Luiza, Marfrig, Natura&Co and Unipar, which were delivered to the Ministry of Health, who will be responsible to carry out the logistics for the distribution of concentrators.

● Donation of 85,782 cubic meters of oxygen to Imperatriz in the State of Maranhão and 1,300 cubic meters to Aracruz in the State of Espírito Santo.

(iii) Protection for business: to date, the Company continues with its normal operations and a crisis management committee has been implemented.

The paper and pulp sector were recognized by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), as well as by several countries, as a producer of goods essential to society. Therefore, in order to fulfill the responsibility arising from the essentiality of the business, Suzano has taken measures to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, operational normality and full service to its customers, increasing the level of wood and raw material inventories in the factories and has been advancing its inventories of finished goods product bringing them closer to their customers to mitigate possible risks of disruption in the factories' supply chain and the sale of their products.

The current situation resulting from the COVID-19 also implies a higher credit risk, especially for its customers in the paper business. Thus, the Company has also been monitoring the evolution of this risk and implementing measures to mitigate it, and so far, there has been no significant financial impact.

As previously disclosed during the year 2020, the Company temporarily stopped production for 30 days on April 27, 2020 and May 1, 2020 on the paper production lines of the Mucuri and Rio Verde industrial units, respectively, however, the activities of the factories were resumed at normal level at the beginning of July 2020 and have been maintained until now.

Finally, it is worth noting that, as a result of the current scenario, the Company has made and maintained a vast communication effort to its main stakeholders, ensuring transparency and adequate flow of information about dynamics of the social and economic conjuncture.

1.2.4. Cerrado Project Approval

On May 12, 2021, the Company communicated through material fact, that its Board of Directors approved, subject to the conditions below, the realization of investment for construction of a new pulp production mill with a nominal capacity of 2,300,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp per year, in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, known as Cerrado Project (“Cerrado Project” or “Project”).

The Project is financed by the Company’s cash position and cash generation from current businesses, which can be complemented by financing, provided that the conditions are attractive in terms of cost and term.

The Cerrado Project represents an important advance in the Company’s long-term strategy, contributing to the expansion of its structural competitiveness, meeting the growing demand for hardwood pulp and Suzano’s evolution in sustainability – especially regarding climate and waste, providing a major carbon capture increase arising from the new forest base.

In addition, the expectation is that the new plant will have an excess capacity for generating renewable energy of approximately 180 average megawatts, being also considered in the industry as free from fossil fuels, a new milestone for Suzano in eco-efficiency that demonstrates its commitment to society and the planet.

On October 28, 2021, continuing the material fact disclosed by the Company on May 12, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and definitively approved the realization of investments related to the Cerrado Project,  in view of the implementation of the deliberate conditions upon which were (i) the Company’s commitment to financial discipline, maintaining compliance with the parameters established in the Suzano’s Debt Management Policy; and (ii) the conclusion of the negotiation of the acquisition of the

equipment and services necessary to carry out the Project, under satisfactory conditions, to be subsequently evaluated and resolved by the Board of Directors.

The new plant will have an estimated nominal capacity of 2,550,000 tons of eucalyptus pulp production per year, thus, exceeding the nominal annual capacity initially forecast of 2,300,000 tons. The Company estimates that the new plant will start operating in the second semester of 2024.

On November 5, 2021, continuing the material fact disclosed on October 28, 2021, the Company informed that in addition to the industrial capital investment of R$14,700,000, of which approximately 75% are contractual commitments arising from the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, estimates an additional amount of R$4,600,000, which includes forestry, logistics, and chemical plant investments, among others, totaling a total expenditure of R$19,300,000 for the full execution of the Cerrado Project, with disbursement distributed from 2021 and 2024.

1.2.5. Investment remeasurement – Spinnova

On May 17, 2021, the Company increased its capital in associate Spinnova by EUR5,000 (equivalent to R$32,820 on the transaction date), changing the interest percentage from 23.44% to 27.15% and thus holding 9,808,530 shares, which generated a goodwill of R$22,553.

On June 24, 2021, the associate Spinnova concluded its IPO (“Initial Public Offering – IPO”) on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market (“NFNGM”), with the issuance of 13,140,605 shares and raising EUR100,000 (equivalent to R$587,560 on the transaction date). The Spinnova’s shares are traded under the ticker SPINN and are renamed as Spinnova Plc (“Public Limited Company”) (previously called as Spinnova Oy (Oy is the equivalent of a limited company in Finland)).

The NFNGM is Nasdaq’s nordic growth market, designed for small and growing companies, according to the guidelines of the capital market as implemented in the national legislation of Denmark, Finland and Sweden and operate by an exchange within the Nasdaq Group. Companies listed on NFNGM are subject do less extensive rules than companies listed on a regulated market, such as the Helsinki Stock Exchange.

As a result of the issuance of shares, the percentage of ownership held by Suzano in relation to the investment in Spinnova decreased from 27.15% to 19.91%.

The effects of Spinnova’s capitalization arising from the IPO, generated the dilution of interest, and consequent gain on the remeasurement of the investment in the amount of EUR19,495 (equivalent to R$115,562 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR1,541 (equivalent to R$9,134 on the transaction date) and investment after IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021), according to the new interest percentage. The gain was recorded as a debit under investments against income from associates and joint ventures, considering that investment was already recognized by the equity method, as an associate, which remained after the effect of dilution, in view of the assessment made by the Management, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 28 – Investment in  associates and joint ventures, from its significant influence on the governance and management of the associate, which has not had significant changes due to the IPO process.

As part of the transaction, the Company proportionally realized the goodwill in the amount of R$24,569, being a credit recorded in the investments against the loss from associates and joint ventures and the effect of exchange rate variation on Spinnova’s investment abroad in the amount of R$746, being recorded as a debit under the heading of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement.

On July 1, 2021, in connection with the IPO, Spinnova issued a supplementary share option, subscribing 1,971,090 new shares and raising EUR15,078 (equivalent to R$89,375 on the transaction date) excluding goodwill, which resulted, again, in the dilution of the

interest from 19.91% to 19.14%, as well as in a gain on the changing the interest percentage of the investment in the amount of EUR2,098 (equivalent to R$12,436 on the transaction date), arising from the difference between the investment before the IPO in the amount of EUR21,037 (equivalent to R$124,696 on June 30, 2021) and investment after the IPO in the amount of EUR23,133 (equivalent to R$137,132 on July 1, 2021), and proportional realization of the goodwill in the amount of R$2,601, being the effects recorded in the investments against to income from associates and joint ventures statement and the effect of exchange variation on Spinnova’s investment abroad in the amount of R$79, being recorded in the caption of realization of comprehensive income, in the group of other comprehensive income, against to income from associates and joint ventures statement.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of the events described above, the Company recorded a gain of R$100,827 in the statement of income for the year as income from associates and joint ventures.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries on the same base date, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all consolidated companies.

There was no change in relation to such policies and methods for calculating estimates, except for the new accounting policies presented in note 3.1, adopted as of January 1, 2021 and whose estimated impact was disclosed in the annual financial statements of December 31, 2020.

3.1. New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies adopted

The new standards and interpretations issued, until the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when it come into force and does not expect to have a material impact on the financial statements.

On March 31, 2021, this pronouncement was changed because of the benefits granted to lessee due COVID-19 under lease agreements. The Company assessed the content of this pronouncement and did not identify any impacts, for the clauses of the current lease agreements remained unchanged.

3.2. Accounting policies adopted

3.2.1. Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies. The Company consolidates all subsidiaries over

which it has direct or indirect control, that is, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns on its investment with the subsidiary and has the capacity and ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary.

Additionally, all transactions and balances between Suzano and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, as well as unrealized gains or losses arising from these transactions, net of tax effects. Non-controlling interest is highlighted.

3.2.2. Subsidiaries

These all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity, generally through a majority voting rights. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns on its investment with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.  

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

3.2.3. Joint operations

These are all entities in which the Company maintains the contractually established control over its economic activity and exists only when the strategic, financial and operational decisions regarding the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.

In the consolidated financial statements, the balance of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized proportionally to the interest in joint operation.

3.2.4. Associated and joint ventures

These are all entities are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the equity method, being increased or reduced from its interest in the investee's income after the acquisition date.

In the investments in associates, the Company must have significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, without having its control or joint control of those policies. In investments in joint ventures there is a contractually agreed sharing of control through an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

In relation to associates Ensyn and Spinnova, the equity is measured based on the latest available information and does not have a material impact in the consolidated financial statement and, if any significant event had occurred until December 31, 2021, it would be adjusted in the consolidated financial statement.

3.2.5. Translation of financial statements to functional and presentation currency

The Company defined that for all its wholly owned subsidiaries, the functional and presentation currency is the Real, except for investments in associates abroad related to Ensyn Corporation, F&E Technologies LLC, Spinnova Oy, Woodspin Oy and Celluforce, the functional currencies are different from the Real, whose accumulated gain or loss effects on the conversion of financial statements, are recorded in other comprehensive income, in equity.

The individual financial information of each subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statement, are prepared in accordance with local currency of the subsidiary operates and translated into Company’s functional and presentation currency.

3.2.5.1. Transactions and balances in foreign currency

These are translated using the following criteria:

(i) monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end;

(ii) non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;

(iii) revenues and expenses are translated based on monthly average rate; and

(iv) the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized in the other comprehensive income.

3.2.6. Hyperinflationary economies

Entities based in Argentina, a country considered to have a hyperinflationary economy, are subject to the requirements of IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Non-monetary items, as well as incomes and expenses, are adjusted by the changes in the inflation index between the initial recognition and the closing date, so that the balances are stated at current value.

However, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary based in Argentina, has the Real as its functional currency and, therefore, is not considered an entity with a hyperinflationary currency and does not present its individual financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. The financial statements are presented at historical cost.

3.2.7. Business combinations

These are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to acquirer. The cost of an acquisition is the sum of the consideration paid, evaluated based on the fair value at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire. For each business combination, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquire either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recorded as expense when incurred, except for costs related to the issuance of debt instruments or equity instruments, which are presented as debt reduction or equity, respectively.

In a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are evaluate in order to classify and allocate them assessing the terms of the agreement, economic circumstances and other conditions at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill recognized in a business combination, as from the acquisition date, is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units.

Gains on an advantageous purchase are recognized immediately in the result. The borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement as incurred.

Contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor classified in the acquired company as possible and remote risk is recognized by the acquirer, at its fair values.

Transactions in the acquisition of shares with shared control over the net assets traded apply complementary guidance to IFRS 3 - Business Combination, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Based on the equity method, investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted for recognition of changes in the Company's share in the acquirer's Shareholders' equity as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is segregated from carrying amount of the investment. Other

intangible assets identified in the transaction shall be allocated in proportion to the interest acquired by the Company, by the difference between the carrying amounts recorded in the acquired entity and its fair value assets, which may be amortized.

3.2.8. Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Company that carries out business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses. The operating segments reflect how the Company’s management reviews financial information to make decisions. The Company’s management has identified reportable segments, which meet the quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements. The segments identified for disclosure represent mainly sales channels.

The criteria that the Company uses to determine if there is evidence of an impairment loss include:

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

(ii) default or late interest or principal payments in the agreement;

(iii) where Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, grants to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise receive;

(iv) it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

(v) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; and

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.

The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset is impaired the carrying amount of the asset is reduced and a loss is recognized in the income statement.

In a subsequent measurement, if there is an improvement in  the asset rating, such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.

3.2.10.3.2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Annually, the Company evaluate if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

For such financial assets, a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value of the security below its cost is an evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income, shall be recognized in the income statement.

3.2.11. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives financial instruments are recognized at fair value on the date the derivative agreement is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in under result of derivative financial instruments in the income statement.

Embedded derivatives in non-derivative main contracts are required to be separated when their risks and characteristics are not-closely related to those of main contracts and these are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Non-option embedded derivatives are separated from the main contracts in accordance with its stated or implied substantive terms, so that they have zero fair value on initial recognition.

3.2.12. Trade accounts receivables

These are recorded at the invoiced amount, in the normal course of the Company´s business, adjusted to exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency and, if applicable, net of expected credit losses.

The Company applies the aging-based provision matrix with the appropriate grouping of your portfolio. When necessary, based on individual analysis, the provision for expected loss is supplemented.

The Company examines on a monthly basis the maturity of receivables and identifies those customers with overdue balances assessing the specific situation of each client including the risk of loss, the existence of contracted insurance, letters of credit, collateral and the customer’s financial situation. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which include direct contact with customers and collection through third parties. Should these efforts prove unsuccessful, court measures are considered and credit expected loss is recognized. The notes are written-off from the credit expected loss when Management considers that they are not recoverable after taking all appropriate measures to collect them.

3.2.13. Inventories

These are evaluated at average acquisition or formation cost of finished products, net of recoverable taxes, not exceeding their net realizable value.

Finished products and work-in-process consist of raw materials, direct labor, production costs, freight, storage and general production expenses, which are related to the processes required to make the products available for sale.

Imports in transit are presented at the cost incurred until the balance sheet date.

The raw materials derived from biological assets are measured based on their fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest and freight costs.

Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Usual production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production cost of the respective month, whereas abnormal losses, if any, are recorded directly as cost of sales.

3.2.14. Non-current assets held for sale

These are measured at carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whichever is lower, and are not depreciated or amortized. Such items are only classified under this account when the sale is highly probable and they are available for immediate sale under their current conditions.

3.2.15. Biological assets

The biological assets for production (mature and immature forests) are reforestation eucalyptus forests, with a formation cycle between planting until the harvest of approximately 7 (seven) years, measured at fair value. Depletion is measured by the amount of biological assets depleted (harvested) and measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell.

For the determination of the fair value, the income approach technique was applied using the discounted cash flow model, according to the projected productivity cycle for these assets. The assumptions used to measure the fair value are reviewed every six months, as the Company considers that this interval is sufficient so that there is no significant gap in the fair value balance of biological assets booked. Significant assumptions are presented in note 13.

The gain or loss on the assessment of fair value is recognized in the operating income (expenses), net.

Biological assets in formation under the age of 2 (two) years, accounted for at the formation cost and the areas of permanent environmental preservation, which are not recorded, and it is not included in the measurement at fair value, because it is not characterized as biological assets.

3.2.16. Property, plant and equipment

Stated at the cost of acquisition, formation, construction or dismantling, net of recoverable taxes. Such cost is deducted of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, when incurred, at the highest of the value of use and sale, less cost to sell. The borrowing costs are capitalized as a component of construction in progress, considering the weighted average rate, adjusted for the equalization of exchange rate effect, of the Company’s debt at the capitalization date.

Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated.

The Company annually performs an analysis of impairment indicators of property, plant and equipment. An impairment for loss for property, plant and equipment, is only recognized if the related cash-generating unit is devalued. Such condition is also applied if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than it is carrying amount. The recoverable amount of asset or cash-generating unit is the highest of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell.

The cost of major renovations is capitalized if the future economic benefits exceed the performance standard initially estimated for the asset and are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are measured by comparing the proceeds with the book value and are recognized as other operating income a (expense), net at the disposal date.

3.2.17. Leases

A contract is, or contains a lease, if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration, for which it is necessary to assess whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, which may be explicit or implicit, and may be physically distinct or represent substantially the entire capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantial right to replace the asset, then the asset is not identified;

(ii) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset during the contract period; and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has the right to decide to change how and for what purpose the asset is used, if:

● has the right to operate the asset, or

● designed the asset, in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At the beginning of the contract, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability that represents the obligation to make payments related to the underlying asset of the lease.

The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost and comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any payment made on or before the contract start date, plus any direct initial costs incurred and estimated disassembly, removal costs, restoration of the asset in the place where it is located, less any incentive received.

The right-to-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the start date to the end of the useful life of the right to use or the end of the lease term. Except for land agreements that are automatically extended for the same period by means of notification to the lessor, for the other agreements are not allowed automatic renewals and for an indefinite period, as well as the exercise of termination is a right of both parties.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments not made, less the incremental loan rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change:

(i) in future payments resulting from a change in index or rate;

(ii) in the estimate of the expected amount to be paid in the guaranteed residual value; or

(iii) in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise the purchase option, extension or termination.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment amount is recorded in the book value of the right-of-use asset or in the profit and loss statement, if the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company does not have lease agreements with clauses of:

(i) variable payments that are based on the performance of the leased assets;

(ii) guarantee of residual value; and

(iii) restrictions, such as, for example, obligation to maintain financial ratios.

Short-term or low-value contracts for the exemption of the standard refers to contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than U.S.$5 and maturity date is before 12 months, are expensed as incurred.

3.2.18. Intangible assets

These are measured at cost at the time they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination corresponds to the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable.

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economic useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying values may be impaired. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income as an expense related to its use and consistently with the economic useful life of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment losses, individually or at the level of the CGU. The allocation is made to the CGU or group of CGUs that represents the lowest level within the entity, in which the goodwill is monitored for management's internal purposes, and that has benefited from the business combination. The Company records in this subgroup mainly goodwill for expected future profitability (goodwill) and easement of passage.

Such test involved the adoption of assumptions and judgments, disclosed in Note 16.

3.2.19. Current and deferred income tax and social contribution

Income taxes comprise income tax and social contribution on net income, current and deferred. These taxes are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that they are related to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, they are recognized in equity under other reserves.

The current charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted in the countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates the positions assumed in the income tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulations give rise to interpretations and establishes provisions, when appropriate, based on the amounts that must be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax and contribution liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxes and contributions are determined based on the rates in force on the balance sheet date and, which must be applied when they are realized or when they are settled.

Deferred tax assets and contributions are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset temporary differences, based on projections of future results prepared and based on internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that may, therefore, undergo changes.

The projection for realization of deferred tax assets was prepared based on Management's estimates that are based on significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. However, there are other assumptions that are not under the control of the Company, such as inflation rates, exchange rates, pulp prices practiced in the international market and other economic uncertainties in Brazil, future results may differ from those considered in the preparation of the consolidated projection.

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except when the timing of the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Company, and if it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in a foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes and contributions assets and liabilities are offset by the net amount in the balance sheet whenever related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

3.2.20. Trade accounts payable

Corresponds to the obligations payable for goods or services acquired in the normal course of the Company´s business, recognized at fair value and,  subsequently,  measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, adjusted to present value and exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency, when applicable.

3.2.21. Loans and financing

Loans and financing are initially recognized at their fair value, net of costs incurred in the transaction and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised and settled is recognized in the statement of income during the period in which the loans and financing are outstanding, using the effective tax rate method.

General or specific borrowing costs, directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualified asset, are capitalized as a part of the cost of asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits for the entity and that these costs may be measured with reliability. The Company does not have specific loans to obtain qualified assets. Other loan costs are recognized as expense in the period they are incurred.

3.2.22. Provision, contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are not recorded. The recognition is only performed when are guarantees or judicial decisions favorable and the amount can be measured with safety. Contingent assets, for which such conditions are not met, are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

The provisions are provided to the extent that the Company expects that is probable that it will disburse cash and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tax, civil, environment and labor proceedings are accrued when losses are assessed as probable and the amounts involved can be reliably measured. When the expectation of loss is possible, a description of the processes and amounts involved is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent liabilities assessed as remote losses are neither accrued nor disclosed.

A contingent liabilities of business combinations are recognized if they arise from a present obligation that arose from past events and if their fair value can be measured reliably and subsequently are measured at the higher of:

(i) the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above that comply with IAS 37; or

(ii) the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, of recognized revenue in accordance with the policy of recognizing revenue from customer contracts IFRS 15.

3.2.23. Asset retirement obligations

These primarily relate to future costs for the decommissioning of industrial landfill and related assets. A provision is recorded as a long-term obligation against property, plant and equipment. The provision and the corresponding property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at fair value, based on the present value of estimated cash flows for future cash payments discounted by an adjusted risk-free rate. The long-term obligation accrues interest using a long-term discount rate. The property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the principal against to cost of sales of the income statement.

3.2.24. Share based payments

The Company’s executives and managers receive their compensation partially as share-based payment plans to be settled in cash and shares, and alternatively in cash.

Plan-related expenses are recognized in the income statement as a corresponding entry to financial liabilities during the vesting period when services will be rendered. The financial liability is measured by its fair value every balance sheet date and its variation is recorded in the income statement as administrative expenses.

At the option exercise date, if such options are exercised by executive in order to receive Company’s shares, financial liabilities are reclassified under stock options granted in shareholders’ equity. In case of option exercise paid in cash, the Company settles the financial liability in favor to the Company’s executives.

3.2.25. Employee benefits

The Company offers benefits related to supplementary contribution plan to all employees and medical assistance and insurance life for a determined group of former employees, and for the last two benefits an actuarial appraisal is annually prepared by an independent actuary and are reviewed by Management.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other reserves when incurred. The interest incurred, resulting from changes in the present value of the actuarial liability, is recorded in income statement under the financial expenses.

3.2.26. Other assets and liabilities current and non-current

Assets are recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and its cost or value can be measured reliably.

A liability is recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising from a past event, and it is probable that an economic resource will be required to settle this liability.

3.2.27. Government grants and assistance

Government grants and assistance are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the conditions established by the granting Governmental Authority were observed and that these subsidies will be obtained. These are recorded as revenue or expense deduction in the income statement for the period of enjoyment of benefit and subsequently are allocated to the tax incentives reserve under shareholders’ equity, when applicable.

3.2.28. Dividend and interest on own capital

The distribution of dividends or interest on shareholders' equity is recognized as a liability, calculated based on Corporate Law, the bylaws and the Company's Dividend Policy, which establishes that the minimum annual dividend is the lowest amount between (i) 25%

of adjusted net income or (ii) the consolidated operating cash flow for the year and, provided they are declared before the end of the year. Any portion in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends, if declared after the balance sheet date, must be recorded under the additional dividends proposed in shareholders' equity, until approved by the shareholders at the General Assembly. After approval, reclassification to current liabilities is made.

The tax benefit of interest on equity is recognized in the income statement.

3.2.29. Share capital

Common shares are classified under shareholders’ equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to a public offer are stated under shareholders’ equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes.

3.2.30. Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers are recognized as at which the products to customers transfer of control, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.

The Company follows the five-step model: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of performance obligations under contracts; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation provided for in the contracts and (v) recognition of revenue when the performance obligation is met.

For operating segment Pulp, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”), when destined for the foreign market and (ii) lead time, when destined for the internal market.

For operating segment Paper and Consumer Goods, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) the corresponding International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”) and (ii) lead time and are products destined for external and internal market.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts and recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, when the amount is reliably measured.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates and discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A provision for reimbursement (included in trade accounts receivable) is recognized for expected rebates and discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No significant element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a short credit term.

3.2.31. Financial income and expenses

Include interest income on financial assets, at the effective interest rate that includes the amortization of funding raising costs, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, interest on loans and financing, exchange variations on loans and financing and other assets and financial liabilities and monetary variations on other assets and liabilities. Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest method.

3.2.32. Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by (losses) the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the year.

Diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued when converting all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

3.2.33. Employee and management profit sharing

Employees are entitled to profit sharing based on certain goals agreed annually. For the Administrators, the statutory provisions proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders are used as a basis. Provisions for participation are recognized in the administrative expense, during the period in which the targets are attained.

3.2.34. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

As disclosed in note 2, Management used judgments, estimates and accounting assumptions regarding the future, whose uncertainty may lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the book value of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses in future years, are presented below:

● control, significant influence and consolidation (Note 1.1);

● share-based payment transactions (Note 22);

● transfer to control for revenue recognition (Note 28);

● fair value of financial instruments (Note 4);

● annual analysis of the impairment of non-financial assets (Notes 15 and 16);

● expected credit losses (Note 7);

● net realizable value provision for inventories (Note 8);

● annual analyses of recoverability of taxes (Notes 9 e 12);

● fair value of biological assets (Note 13);

● useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with defined useful life (Notes 15 and 16);

● annual analysis recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 16);

● provision for legal liabilities (Note 20); and

● pension and post-employment plans (Note 21);

The Company reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions used in its accounting estimates on annual basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

3.3. New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet adopted

The new and changed standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted until December 31, 2021, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when it come into force and does not expect to have a material impact on the financial statements.

3.3.1. Business Combination IFRS 3 - Reference to the conceptual framework (Applicable on/or after January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted if the entity also adopts all other updated references (published together with the updated Conceptual Framework) on the same date or earlier.

The amendments update IFRS 3 so that it refers to the 2018 Conceptual Framework instead of the 1989 Structure. It also include in IFRS 3 the requirement that, for obligations within the scope of IAS 37, the buyer applies IAS 37 to determine whether there is a present obligation on the acquisition date due to past events. For a tax within the scope of IFRIC 21 - Levies, the buyer applies IFRIC 21 to determine whether the event that resulted in the obligation to pay the tax occurred up to the date of acquisition.

The amendments add an explicit statement that the buyer does not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

3.3.2. IAS 37 - Onerous contracts: Cost to fulfill an onerous contract (Applicable for annual periods on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets clarify what “costs to fulfill a contract” represent when a onerous contract is assessed. Some entities that apply the “incremental cost” approach may have the value of their provisions increased, or new provisions recognized for onerous contracts as a result of the new definition.

The need for clarification was caused by the introduction of IFRS 15, which replaced the existing requirements related to revenue, including guidelines contained in IAS 11, which dealt with construction contracts. While  IAS 11 specified which costs were included as costs to fulfill a contract, IAS 37 did not do, generating a diversity of practice. The amendment aims to clarify which costs should be included in the assessment.

3.3.3. Property, plant and equipment - IAS 16 – Revenue earned before an asset is ready for its intended use (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

In the process of building an item of property, plant and equipment for its intended use, an entity may in the same time produce and sell products generated in the process of construction of the item of property, plant and equipment. Before the change proposed by the IASB, in practice, several ways of accounting for such revenues were found. The IASB has amended the standard to provide guidance on accounting for such revenues and related production costs.

With the new proposal, the sale revenue is no longer deducted from the cost of property, plant and equipment, but is recognized in the income statement together with the production costs of these items. IAS 2 Inventories must be applied in the identification and measurement of production costs.

3.3.4. IFRS 1 – First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment provides additional relief to a subsidiary which becomes a first-time adopter later than its parent in respect of accounting for cumulative translation differences. As a result of the amendment, a subsidiary that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a) can now also elect to measure cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations at the carrying amount that would be included in the parent’s consolidated financial statements, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS Standards, if no adjustments were made for

consolidation procedures and for the effects of the business combination in which the parent acquired the subsidiary. A similar election is available to an associate or joint venture that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a).

3.3.5. IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment clarifies that in applying the ‘10 per cent’ test to assess whether to derecognise a financial liability, an entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other’s behalf.

The amendment is applied prospectively to modifications and exchanges that occur on or after the date the entity first applies the amendment.

3.3.6. IFRS 16 – Leases (no effective date is stated)

The amendment removes the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements.

As the amendment to IFRS 16 only regards an illustrative example, no effective date is stated.

3.3.7. IAS 41 – Agriculture (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment removes the requirement in IAS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value. This aligns the fair value measurement in IAS 41 with the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to use internally consistent cash flows and discount rates and enables preparers to determine whether to use pretax or post-tax cash flows and discount rates for the most appropriate fair value measurement.

The amendment is applied prospectively, i.e. for fair value measurements on or after the date an entity initially applies the amendment.

3.3.8. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set by IASB; however, earlier application to the amendments is permitted)

The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognised in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to fair value are recognised in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate or joint venture.

3.3.9. Presentation of the financial statements – IAS 1 – Classification of liabilities as current and non-current (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the balance sheet and not the amount or the time of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expense, or the information disclosed about these items.

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on the rights existing at the balance sheet date, specify that the classification is not affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to postpone the settlement

of the liability, explain that the rights exist if restrictive clauses are complied with at the balance sheet date, and introduce the definition of 'settlement' to clarify that refers to the transfer to a counterparty; a cash value, equity instruments, other assets or services.

3.3.10. Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements – Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy information’. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

3.3.11. Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

(i) A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error

(ii) The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

3.3.12. Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments introduce a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

Depending on the applicable tax law, equal taxable and deductible temporary differences may arise on initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. For example, this may arise upon recognition of a lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset applying IFRS 16 at the commencement date of a lease.

Following the amendments to IAS 12, an entity is required to recognise the related deferred tax asset and liability, with the recognition of any deferred tax asset being subject to the recoverability criteria in IAS 12.

The amendments apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period an entity recognises:

(i) A deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:

● Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and

● Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related asset.

(ii) The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS MANAGEMENT

4.1. Financial risks management

4.1.1. Overview

As a result of its activities, the Company is exposed to various financial risks, which are managed in accordance with the Financial Risk Management, Counterparty and Issuer Risk, Debt, Derivative and Cash Management Policies (“Financial Policies”), which were approved at the Board of Directors' meeting held on August 13, 2020 and are available on the Company's website.

The main factors considered by Management are:

(i) liquidity;

(ii) credit;

(iii) exchange rate;

(iv) interest rate;

(v) fluctuations of commodity prices; and

(vi) capital.

The Management is focused on generating consistent and sustainable results over time, however, arising from external risk factors, unintended level of volatility can influence the Company’s cash flows and income statement.

The Company has policies and procedures for managing market risk which aims:

(i) reduce,  mitigate or transfer exposure aiming to protect the Company’s cash flows and assets against fluctuations of market prices of raw material and products, exchange rates and interest rates, price and adjustment index ("market risk") or other assets or instruments traded in liquid markets or not to which the value of the assets, liabilities and cash flows are exposed;

(ii) establish limits and instruments with the purpose of allocating the Company's cash within acceptable credit risk exposure parameters of financial institutions; and

(iii) optimize the process of hiring financial instruments for protection against exposure to risk, drawing on natural hedges and correlations between the prices of different assets and markets, avoiding any waste of funds used to hiring inefficient transactions. All financial transactions entered into by the Company aim to protect existing exposures, with the assumption of new risks prohibited, except those arising from its operating activities.

Hedging instruments are hired exclusively for hedging purposes and are based on the following terms:

(i) cash flow protection against currency mismatch;

(ii) revenue flow protection for debt settlement and interest to fluctuation of interest rate and currencies; and

(iii) fluctuation in pulp price and other supplies related to production.

Treasury team is responsible for identification, evaluating and seeking protection against possible financial risk. Board of Directors approves the financial policies that establish the principles and guidance for global risk management, the areas involved in these activities, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the allocation of cash surplus.

The Company uses the most liquid financial instruments, and:

(i) does not hired leveraged transactions or with other forms of embedded options that change its purpose of protection (hedge);

(ii) does not have double indexed debt or other forms of implied options; and

(iii) does not have any transaction that require margin deposits or other forms of collateral for counterparty credit risk.

The Company does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, gains and losses from derivative operations are fully recognized in the statements of income, as disclosed in Note 27.

The Company maintained its conservative approach and strong cash and marketable securities position, as well as its hedge policy, during the crisis caused by the pandemic of COVID-19 and even though there were impacts on the fair value of its financial instruments due to the effects on all global economies, the impacts were as expected, according to sensitivity analyses disclosed in previous reports, and measures were taken in relation to the risks associated to the financial instruments, in particular to the risks of liquidity, credit and exchange rate variation, as set forth below.

4.1.3. Fair value of loans and financing

The financial instruments are recognized at their contractual amounts. Derivative financial instrument agreements, used exclusively for hedging purposes, are measured at fair value.

In order to determine the market values of financial instruments traded in public and liquid markets, the market closing prices were used at the balance sheet dates. The fair value of interest rate and indexes swaps is calculated as the present value of their future cash flows discounted at the current interest rates available for operations with similar remaining terms and maturities. This calculation is based on the quotations of B3 and ANBIMA for interest rate transactions in Brazilian Reais and the British Bankers Association and Bloomberg

for London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate transactions. The fair value of forward or forward exchange agreements is determined using the forward exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates, in accordance with B3 prices.

In order to determine the fair value of financial instruments traded in over-the-counter or unliquidated markets, a number of assumptions and methods based on normal market conditions and not for liquidation or forced sale, are used at each balance sheet date, including the use of option pricing models such as Garman-Kohlhagen, and estimates of discounted future cash flows. The fair value of agreements for the fixing of oil bunker prices is obtained based on the Platts index.

The result of the trading of financial instruments is recognized at the closing or hiring dates, where the Company undertakes to buy or sell these instruments. The obligations arising from the hiring of financial instruments are eliminated from our financial statements only when these instruments expire or when the risks, obligations and rights arising there from are transferred.

The estimated fair values of loans and financing are set forth below:

The book values of loans and financing are disclosed in note 18.

The Management considers that for its other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, its book values approximate to their fair values and therefore the information on their fair values is not being presented.

4.2. Liquidity risk management

The Company’s purpose is maintaining a strong cash and marketable securities position to meet its financial and operating obligations. The amount held as cash is used for payments expected in the normal course of its operations, while the cash surplus amount is invested in highly liquid financial investments according to Cash Management Policy.

The cash position is monitored by the Company’s Management, by means of management reports and participation in performance meetings with determined frequency. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the impacts in cash and marketable securities were as expected and the cash generated in the operation was used for the most part to debt redemption, including payments made in advance to strengthen the Company's liquidity.

The Company, through its subsidiary Suzano Pulp and Paper Europe SA, in order to improve the management of financial liquidity, has contracted, since February 2019, a Revolving Credit Facility, in the amount equivalent to US$500,000, maturing in February 2024 , with a union composed of 5 banks. The transaction was structured so that the Company and its subsidiary can use the credit facility at any time, throughout the contracted period, which will expire on February 20, 2024. On December 31, 2021, the facility was available, but not used.

On December 1, 2021, the Company signed with the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (“BNDES”) a Credit Limit Opening Agreement (“CALC”), a Revolving Credit Limit, in the amount of up to R$3,000,000, to be disbursed in the coming years in forest, social and industrial investments. As of December 31, 2021, the line was available but not used.

All derivatives financial instruments were in the over-the-counter derivatives and do not require deposit of guarantee margins.

The remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities are disclosed at the date of this financial information reporting date. The amounts as set forth below, consist in the undiscounted cash flows and include interest payments and exchange rate variation, and therefore may not be reconciled with the amounts disclosed in the balance sheet.

4.3. Credit risk management

It is related to the possibility of non-compliance with the counterparty commitment in an operation. Credit risk is managed on a group and arises from cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments, bank deposits, Bank Deposit Certificates ("CDB"), fixed income box, repurchase agreements, letters of credit, insurance, receivable terms of customers, advances to suppliers for new projects, among others.

4.3.1. Trade accounts receivable and advances to supplier

The Company has commercial and credit policies aimed at mitigating any risks arising from its customers' default, mainly through hiring of credit insurance policies, bank guarantees provided by first-tier banks and collaterals according to liquidity. Moreover, portfolio customers are subject to internal credit analysis aimed at assessing the risk regarding payment performance, both for exports and for domestic sales.

For customer credit assessment, the Company applies a matrix based on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects to determine individual credit limits to each customer according to the identified risk.  Each analyze is submitted for approval according to established hierarchy and, if applicable, to approval from the Management’s meeting and the Credit Committee.

The risk classification of trade accounts receivable is set forth below:

	December 31,	December 31,
	2021	2020
Low (1)	6,491,726	2,813,038
Average (2)	19,147	54,115
High (3)	55,355	89,942
	6,566,228	2,957,095

1) Current and overdue to 30 days.

2) Overdue between 30 and 90 days.

3) Overdue more than 90 days.

Part of the amounts above does not consider the expected credit losses calculated based on the provision matrix of R$34,763 and R$41,889 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

4.3.2. Banks and financial institutions

The Company, in order to mitigate credit risk, maintains its financial operations diversified among banks, with a main focus on first-tier financial institutions classified as high-grade by the main risk rating agencies.

The book value of financial assets representing the exposure to credit risk is set forth below:

	December 31,	December 31,
	2021	2020
Cash and cash equivalents	13,590,776	6,835,057

4.4. Market risk management

The Company is exposed to several market risks, mainly, related to fluctuations in exchange rate variation, interest rates, inflation rates and commodity prices that may affect its results and financial situation.

To mitigate the impacts, the Company has processes to monitor exposures and policies that support the implementation of risk management.

The policies establish the limits and the instruments to be implemented for the purpose of:

(i) protecting cash flow due to currency mismatch;

(ii) mitigating exposure to interest rates;

(iii) reducing the impacts of fluctuation in commodity’s prices; and

(iv) change of debt indexes.

The market risk management comprises the identification, the assessment and the implementation of the strategy, with the effective hiring of adequate financial instruments.

4.4.1. Exchange rate risk management

The fundraising financing and the currency hedge policy of the Company are guided considering substantial part of net revenue arises from exports with prices negotiated in U.S.Dollar, while substantial part of the production costs is attached to the Brazilian Real. This structure allows the Company to enter into export financing in U.S.Dollar and to reconcile financing payments with the cash flows of receivables from sales in foreign market, using the international bond market as an important portion of its capital structure, and providing a natural cash hedge for these commitments.

Moreover, the Company enter into U.S.Dollar selling transactions in the futures markets, including strategies involving options, to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. Such transactions are limited to a percentage of the net surplus foreign currency over an 18-months‘ time horizon and therefore, are matched to the availability of currency for sale in the short term. The Company's Board of Directors approved on October the contracting of extraordinary hedge, in addition to the policy mentioned above, for investments in the Cerrado Project with a term of up to 36 months as of November 2021, in the amount of up to US$1,000,000.

The assets and liabilities that are exposed to foreign currency, substantially in U.S. Dollars, are set forth below:

4.4.1.1. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – except financial instruments derivatives

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to jointly evaluate assets and liabilities positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts recognized, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian Reais on the base date of the balance sheet (R$ to U.S.$ = R$5.5805).

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes.

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

	December 31,
	2021
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable	Possible	Remote
	(base value)	(25%)	(50%)
Cash and cash equivalents	13,411,978	3,352,995	6,705,989
Marketable securities	2,394,667	598,667	1,197,333
Trade accounts receivable	5,043,453	1,260,863	2,521,727
Trade accounts payable	(605,557)	(151,389)	(302,779)
Loans and financing	(65,972,300)	(16,493,075)	(32,986,150)
Liabilities for asset acquisitions and associates	(273,179)	(68,295)	(136,590)

4.4.1.2. Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange rate exposure – financial instruments derivatives

The Company hires sales operations of U.S. Dollar in the futures markets, including strategies with options, in order to ensure attractive levels of operating margins for a portion of revenue. These operations are limited to a percentage of the net foreign exchange surplus over the 18-month horizon  or to investments in the Cerrado Project according to the extraordinary hedge described above and, therefore, are attached to the availability of ready-to-sell foreign exchange in the short term.

Due to pandemic of COVID-19 and the effects on all global economies over the past few quarters, financial markets have experienced volatility throughout the period with a strong sense of aversion to risk, with a consequent substantial devaluation of the Real against the U.S. Dollars.

For the calculation of mark-to-market (“MtM”), the PTAX of the penultimate business day of the quarter was used, in December 2020 it was R$5.1967 and in December 2021 it was R$5.5805, with an increase of 7.39%. These market movements caused a positive impact on the mark-to-market hedge position entered by the Company.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly, the interest rates, remains constant. The other scenarios considered the appreciation/depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%, before taxes, from the base scenario of December 31, 2021.

It is important to mention that the impact caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate, whether positive or negative, will also affect the hedged asset. Therefore, even though there was a negative impact on the fair value of derivative transactions in the year, this impact was partially offset by the positive effect on the Company's cash flow and, if the exchange rate remains stable, it will be offset by the appreciation of the hedge object in the coming years. In addition, considering that hedge contracts are limited by the policy in a maximum of 75% of the total exposure in U.S. Dollars, the exchange rate devaluation will always benefit, in a net way, the Company's cash generation in the long run.

The following table set forth the potential impacts assuming these scenarios:

	December 31,
	2021
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable	Possible	Remote	Possible	Remote
	(base value)	(+25%)	(+50%)	(-25%)	(-50%)

4.4.2. Interest rate risk management

Fluctuations in interest rates may imply effects of increased or reduced costs on new loans and operations already hired.

The Company is constantly looking for alternatives for the use of financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flow.

Considering the extinction of LIBOR over the next few years, the Company is evaluating its contracts with clauses that envisage the discontinuation of the interest rate. Most debt contracts linked to LIBOR have some clause to replace this rate with a reference index or equivalent interest rate and, for contracts that do not have a specific clause, a renegotiation will be carried out between the parties. Derivative contracts linked to LIBOR provide for a negotiation between the parties for the definition of a new rate or an equivalent rate will be provided by the calculation agent.

It is worth mentioning that the clauses related to replacement of the indexes in the Company's debt contracts indexed to LIBOR, establish that any replacement of the indexation rate in the contracts can only be evaluated in two circumstances (i) after the communication from an official government entity with formalization of the replacement/extinguishment of the effective rate of the contract, and this communication must define the exact date on which LIBOR will be extinguished and / or (ii) syndicated operations begin to be executed at a rate indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Considering that on March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced the date of extinction of LIBOR 3M for June 30, 2023, the Company can, from this announcement, began negotiations terms of exchange of indexes for its debt contracts and related derivatives.

The Company mapped all contracts subject to LIBOR reform that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate on December 31, 2021 the Company has R$18,735,587 related to loan and financing contracts and R$1,156,180 related to derivative contracts and, initiated contact with the respective counterparties of each contract, to ensure that the terms and good market practices are adopted at the time of the transition of the index until June 2023, and these terms are still under negotiation between the parties.

The Company understands that it will not be necessary to change the risk management strategy due to the change in the indexes of the financial contracts linked to LIBOR.

The Company believes it is reasonable to assume that the negotiation of the indexes in its contracts, will move towards to the replacement of LIBOR by SOFR, because the available information, so far, indicates that SOFR will be the new interest rate adopted by the capital market. Based on the information available, the Company does not expect to have significant impact on its debts and derivatives linked to LIBOR.

4.4.2.1. Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates – except financial instruments derivatives

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that variations in operations impacted by the rates: Interbank Deposit Rate (“CDI”), Long Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”), Special System for Settlement and Custody ("SELIC") and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which may impact the results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the best estimate of the Management.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, particularly exchange rates, remain constant. The other scenarios considered appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates.

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

For the measurement of the probable scenario, the United States Consumer Price Index (US-CPI) was considered on December 31, 2021. The probable scenario was extrapolated considering an appreciation/depreciation of 25% and 50% in the US-CPI to define the possible and remote scenarios, respectively, in absolute amounts.

The following table set forth the potential impacts in absolute amounts:

	December 31,
	2021
	Effect on profit or loss and equity
	Probable	Possible	Remote
	(base value)	(25%)	(50%)
	2.84%	3.55%	4.25%
Embedded derivative in forestry partnership and standing wood supply agreements	28,165	203,262	418,180

4.4.3. Commodity price risk management

The Company is exposed to commodity prices that reflect mainly on the pulp sale price in the foreign market. The dynamics of opening and closing production capacities in the global market and the macroeconomic conditions may have an impact on the Company´s operating results.

Through a specialized team, the Company monitors the hardwood pulp price and analyses future trends, adjusting the forecast that aims to assisting preventive measures to properly conduct the different scenarios. There is no liquid financial market to sufficiently mitigate the risk of a material portion of the Company’s operations. Hardwood pulp price protection operations available on the market have low liquidity and low volume and large distortion in price formation.

The Company is also exposed to international oil prices, which is reflected on logistical costs for selling to the export market and indirectly in the costs of other supplies and logistics and service contracts. In this case, the Company evaluates the contracting of derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of price variation in its result.

On December 31, 2021, the Company did not hire position to hedge its logistics costs (US$37,757 as of December 31, 2020).

4.5. Derivative financial instruments

The Company determines the fair value of derivative contracts, which differ from the amounts realized in the event of early settlement due to bank spreads and market factors at the time of quotation. The amounts presented by the Company are based on an estimate using market factors and use data provided by third parties, measured internally and compared to calculations performed by external consultants and by counterparties.

Fair value does not represent an obligation for immediate disbursement or cash receipt, given that such effect will only occur on the dates of contractual fulfillment or on the maturity of each transaction, when the result will be determined, depending on the case and market conditions on the agreed dates.

A summary of the methodologies used for purposes of determining fair value by type of instrument is presented below:

(i) Swap: the future value of the asset and liability are estimated by the cash flows projected by the market interest rate of the currency in which the tip of the swap is denominated. The present value of the US dollar-denominated tip is measured using the discount using the exchange coupon curve (the remuneration, in US dollars, of the Reais invested in Brazil) and in the case of the BRL-denominated tip, the discount is made using Brazil's interest curve, being the future curve of the DI, considering

both the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. The exception is pre-fixed contracts x US$ where the present value at the tip denominated in US$ is measured through the discount using the LIBOR curve, disclosed by Bloomberg. The fair value of the contract is the difference between these two points. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.

(ii) Options (Zero Cost Collar): the fair value was calculated based on the Garman-Kohlhagen model, considering both Company’s and the counterparty credit risk. Volatility information and interest rates are observable and obtained from B3 exchange information to calculate the fair values.

(iii) Non-deliverable forward (NDF): a projection of the future currency quote is made, using the exchange coupon curves and the future DI curve for each maturity. Next, it is verified the difference between this quotation obtained and the rate that was contracted for the operation, considering the credit risk of the Company and the counterparty. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and brought to present value by the future DI curve. Interest rate curves were obtained from B3.

(iv) Swap US-CPI: liability cash flows are projected by the US inflation curve US-CPI, obtained by the implicit rates for inflation-linked US securities (“Treasury Protected against Inflation - TIPS”), disclosed by Bloomberg. Cash flows from the asset components are projected at the fixed rate implicit in the embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative is the difference between the two components, adjusted to present value by the curve of the exchange coupon obtained from B3.

(v) Swap VLSFO (marine fuel): a future projection of the asset price is made, using the future price curve disclosed by Bloomberg. Next, it is verified the difference between this projection obtained and the rate that the operation was contracted, considering both of Company’s and counterpart’s credit risk. This difference is multiplied by the notional value of each contract and adjusted to present value by the LIBOR curve disclosed by Bloomberg.

The yield curves used to calculate the fair value in December 31, 2021, are as set forth below:

Interest rate curves
Term	Brazil	United States of America	Dollar coupon
1 month	9.15% p.a.	0.22% p.a.	18.07% p.a.
6 months	11.22% p.a.	0.32% p.a.	3.70% p.a.
1 year	11.79% p.a.	0.53% p.a.	2.50% p.a.
2 years	10.97% p.a.	0.92% p.a.	2.17% p.a.
3 years	10.60% p.a.	1.16% p.a.	2.18% p.a.
5 years	10.61% p.a.	1.36% p.a.	2.25% p.a.
10 years	10.71% p.a.	1.59% p.a.	2.47% p.a.

1) The embedded derivative refers to swap contracts for the sale of US-CPI variations within the term of the forest partnership and standing wood supply contracts.

2) As of December 31, 2020, includes Swap Brent, whose contracts were fully settled in the subsequent period.

The current contracts and the respective protected risks are set forth below:

(i) Swap CDI x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging the variation in the Interbank Deposit rate (“DI”) for a fixed rate in United States Dollars (“US$”). The objective is to change the debt index in Brazilian  Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

(ii) Swap IPCA x CDI: positions in conventional swaps exchanging variation of the Amplified Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) for DI rate. The objective is to change the debt index in Reais, in compliance with the Company's cash position in Brazilian Reais, which is also indexed to DI.

(iii) Swap IPCA x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging variation of the IPCA for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the debt index in Brazilian  Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

(iv) Swap LIBOR x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps exchanging post-fixed rate (LIBOR) for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to protect the cash flow from changes in the US interest rate.

(v) Pre Fixed Swap R$ x Fixed US$: positions in conventional swaps a fixed rate in Reais for a fixed rate in US$. The objective is to change the exposure of debts in Brazilian Reais to US$, in compliance with the Company's natural exposure of receivables in US$.

(vi) Zero-Cost Collar (“ZCC”): positions in an instrument that consists of the simultaneous combination of purchase of put options and sale of call options of US$, with the same principal and maturity value, with the objective of protecting the cash flow of exports. In this strategy, an interval is established where there is no deposit or receipt of financial margin upon expiration of options. The objective is to protect the cash flow of exports against decrease Real.

(vii) Non Deliverable Forward (“NDF”): positions sold in futures contracts of US$ with the objective of protecting the cash flow of exports against the decrease in the Brazilian Real.

(viii)Swap Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (“VLSFO”) (oil): oil purchase positions, with the objective of protecting logistical costs related to ocean freight contracts, against the increase in oil prices.

(ix) Swap US-CPI: The embedded derivative refers to sale swap contracts of variations of US-CPI within the terms of the forest partnership and standing wood supply contracts.

The variation in the fair value of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the fair value measured on December 31, 2020 is explained substantially by devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar and by the settlements for the year. There were also less significant impacts caused by the variation in the Pre, Foreign Exchange Coupon and LIBOR curves in transactions.

It is important to highlight that, the outstanding agreements for the year ended December 31, 2021, are over-the-counter market, without any kind of guaranteed margin or early settlement clause forced by changes from mark to market, including possible variations caused by the pandemic of COVID-19.

4.6. Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments are measured at fair value, which considers the fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into 3 hierarchy levels:

(i) Level 1 – Based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A market is considered active if it trades frequently and sufficient volume to provide pricing information immediately and continuously, usually obtained from a commodity and stock exchange, pricing service or regulatory agency, and the prices represent actual market transactions, which occur regularly on a commercial basis;

(ii) Level 2 - Based on prices quoted in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, prices quoted for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets, evaluation models for which inputs are observable , such as rates of interest and yield curves, credit volatilities and spreads, and market corroborated information. Assets and liabilities classified in this category are measured through discounted cash flow and interest accrual, respectively, for derivative financial instruments and marketable securities. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates; and

(iii) Level 3 – Based on unquoted data for assets and liabilities, where the Company applies the income approach technique using the discounted cash flow model. The observable inputs used are IMA, discount rate and eucalyptus average gross sales prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no changes between the 3 (three) levels of hierarchy and no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

4.7. Risks linked to climate change and the sustainability strategy

In view of the nature of the Company's operations, there is inherent exposure to risks related to climate change.

The Company's assets, notably biological assets, which are measured at fair value (Note 13), property, plant and equipment (Note 15) and intangible assets (Note 16), may be impacted by climate changes, which were evaluated in the context of preparation of financial statements. In the year ended December 31, 2021, Management considered the main risk data and assumptions highlighted below:

(i) possible impacts on the determination of fair value in biological assets due to: Effects of climate change, such as temperature rise, scarcity of water resources, may impact some assumptions used in accounting estimates related to the Company's biological assets, as follows:

● losses of biological assets due to fires and impacts arising from the greater presence and resistance of pests and other forest diseases favored by the gradual increase in temperature;

● reduction in productivity and expected growth (IMA) due to reduced availability of water resources in basins; and

● interruption in the production chain due to adverse weather events.

(ii) scarcity of water resources in the industry: although our units are efficient in the use of water, there are contingency plans for all units affected by possible water shortages and action plans to confront the water crisis in critical regions.

(iii) structural changes in society and their impacts on business, such as:

● regulatory and legal: arising from Brazilian and/or international regulatory changes that encourage the transition to a low-carbon economy and/or with greater biodiversity and that increase the risk of litigation and/or commercial restrictions related to the alleged contribution, even if indirect, for the intensification of climate change;

● technological: arising from the emergence of improvements and innovations towards an economy with greater energy efficiency and low carbon;

● market: arising from changes in the supply and demand of certain products and services as climate-related issues begin to be considered in decision-making; and

● reputational: related to changing perceptions of customers and society in general regarding the positive or negative contribution of an organization to a low carbon economy.

4.7.1. Compliance with contractual clauses related to sustainability  in sustainable debt securities (Sustainability linked bonds - “SLB” e Sustainability Linked Loan – “SLL”)

As disclosed in Note 18, the Company issued debt securities with metrics of environmental, social and corporate governance - ESG related to the intensity of our emissions, intensity of capture of water resources and aspects of diversity and inclusion. The non-compliance of these targets may generate a future increase in the cost of said debts, as provided for in the respective contracts.

4.7.2. Climate risk management

The Company has a structure dedicated to corporate risk management, including risks related to climate change, with its own methodologies, tools and processes aimed at ensuring the identification, assessment and treatment of its main risks. This structure, through its management system, allows the continuous monitoring of risks and their eventual impacts, the control of the variables involved and the definition and implementation of mitigating measures, which aim to reduce the exposures identified. The Company's assessment of the potential impacts of climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy is carried out on an ongoing basis and will continue to evolve and, when applicable, its impacts will be considered and evaluated by its management.

4.8. Capital management

The main objective is to strengthen the Company’s capital structure, aiming to maintain an adequate financial leverage, and to mitigate risks that may affect the availability of capital in business development.

The Company monitors constantly significant indicators, such as, consolidated financial leverage, which is the ratio of total net debt to its adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

The forestry development program consists of an incentive partnership for regional forest production, where independent producers plant eucalyptus in their own land to supply the agricultural product wood to Company. Suzano provides eucalyptus seedlings, input subsidies and cash advances, and the latter are not subject to valuation at present value since they will be settled, preferably, in forests. In addition, the Company supports producers through technical advice on forest management but does not have joint control over decisions effectively implemented. At the end of the production cycles, the Company has contractually guaranteed the right to make an offer to purchase the forest and/or wood for market value, however, this right does not prevent producers from negotiating the forest and / or wood with other market participants, provided that the incentive amounts are fully paid.

INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

12. INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

12.1. Deferred taxes

The Company calculates income tax and social contribution taxes, current and deferred, based on the rates of 15% plus an additional 10% on taxable income in excess of R$240 for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL, on the net income. Balances are recognized in the Company's income on the accrual basis.

Associates located in Brazil have their taxes calculated and provisioned in accordance with current legislation and their specific tax regime, including, in some cases, presumed profit method. The associates located abroad are taxed in their respective jurisdictions, according to local regulations.

Deferred income and social contribution taxes are recognized at the net amounts in non-current assets or liabilities.

In Brazil, the Law nº. 12,973/14 revoked article 74  of Provisional Measure nº.2,158/01 and determines that the parcel of the adjustment of the value of the investment in associate, direct and indirect, located abroad, equivalent to the profit earned by it before income tax, except for exchange rate variation, must be added in the determination of taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis of the controlling entity located in Brazil, at the each year ended.

Management’s Company believes on the validity of the provisions of international treaties entered into Brazil to avoid double taxation. In order to guarantee its right to non-double taxation, the Company filed a lawsuit in April 2019, which aims at a non-double taxation, in Brazil, of profit earned by its associate located in Austria, according to Law n°. 12,973/14. Due to the preliminary injunction granted in favor of the Company in the records of the aforementioned lawsuit, the Company decided not to add the profit from Suzano

International Trading GmbH, located in Austria, in determining of taxable income and social contribution basis of the net profit of the Company for year ended December 31, 2021. There is no provision for tax related to the profit of such associate in 2021.

2) On December 29, 2020, with the final decision of CADE's approval related to the purchase and sale agreement of rural property (Note 1.2.2), Management and legal advisors understand that all conditions suspensive were implemented, with the tax recognition of capital gain being required, pursuant to art. 117 of the National Taxation Code (“CTN”).

1) The effect of the difference in taxation of associates is substantially due to the difference between the nominal rates of Brazil and associates abroad.

2) The Brazilian thin capitalization rules establish that interest paid or credited by a Brazilian entity to a related party abroad may only be deducted for income tax and social contribution purposes if the interest expense is viewed as necessary for the activities of the local entity and when determined limits and requirements are met. On December 31, 2021 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements therefore the expense is not deductible for the period.

3) Income tax and social contribution deduction on profit or loss referring to the use of the (i) expenses with research and development (ii) PAT benefit ("Worker Food Program"), (iii) donations made in cultural projects, audiovisual, (iv) child and adolescent rights funds, and (v) extension of maternity and paternity leave.

Transfers	(23,471)

Disposal	(211,433)
Other write-offs	(105,489)
Balance on December 31, 2021	12,248,732

The calculation of fair value of the biological assets falls under Level 3 in the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13 — Measurement of Fair Value, due to the complexity and structure of calculation.

The main assumptions such as Average annual growth (“IMA”), discount rate, and average gross  selling price of eucalyptus,  stand out as being the most sensitive where increases or reductions in these assumptions generate significant gains or losses in the measurement of fair value.

The assumptions used in measurement of the fair value of biological assets were:

i) Average cycle of forest formation of 6 and 7 years;

ii) Effective area of forest from the 3^rd year of planting;

iii) IMA consists of the estimated volume of production of wood with bark in m³ per hectare, ascertained based on the genetic material used in each region, silvicultural practices and forest management, production potential, climate factors and ground conditions;

iv) The estimated average standard cost per hectare includes expenses on silvicultural and forest management, applied to each year of formation of the biological cycle of forests, plus costs of land lease agreements and opportunity cost of own land;

v) The average gross selling prices of eucalyptus were based on specialized research on transactions carried out by the Company with independent third parties; and

vi) The discount rate used in cash flows is measured based on capital structure and other economic assumptions in an independent market participant in the sale of standing wood (forests).  

The table below discloses the measurement of the premises adopted:

1) Refer to other intangible assets with indefinite useful life such as servitude of passage and electricity.

The goodwill is based on expected future profitability supported by valuation reports, after purchase price allocation.

Goodwill are allocated to cash-generating units as presented in Note 29.4.

The calculation of the value in use of non-financial assets is done annually using the discounted cash flow method. In 2021, the Company used the strategic plan and annual budget with growing projections until 2026 and the average perpetuity of the cash generating unit considering a nominal rate of 3.14% p.a. from this date, based on historical information of previous years, economic and financial projections from each specific market that the Company has operations, impacts of potential climate changes, and additionally include official information disclosed by independent institutions and government agencies.

The discount rate, after taxes, adopted by the Management was 8.50% p.a., calculated based on weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The assumptions in the table set forth below were also adopted:

	2022	2023	2024	2025	2026

Based on Management's analyzes carried out in 2021, the recoverable amount is higher than the book value and, consequently, no impairment loss was identified.

(“Suzano Europe”), entered into a sustainability-linked export prepayment agreement in the amount of US$1.570.000 (equivalent to R$8,481,768 on the transaction date) maturing in six years, with quarterly interest rate payment of LIBOR plus 1.15%, which may be subject to positive or negative adjustments ranging from -2bps/+2bps p.a. depending on our progress in achieving certain milestones towards satisfying key performance metrics (“KPIs”) related to our industrial water withdrawals and greenhouse gas emissions, to be confirmed by an independent external verifier.

18.6.2. Issuance of Sustainability-linked Notes 2032 (“Notes 2032”)

On July 1, 2021, the Company, through its associate Suzano Austria GmbH ("Suzano Austria"), issued Senior Notes totaling US$1,000,000 (equivalent to R$5,005,500 on the transaction date) with yield of 3.280% p.a., with a coupon of 3.125% p.a., to be paid semi-annually, on the 15th of January and July of each year, starting on January 15, 2022, and maturing on January 15, 2032.

The Notes have environmental performance indicators (“Key Performance Indicator - KPI”) associated with a goal of (i) reducing the industrial water withdrawal intensity and (ii) achieve 30% in the representative of women in leadership positions in the Company by the end of 2025, evidencing Suzano’s commitment to a more efficient usage of natural resources in its operations and with diversity & inclusion and in convergence with the implementation of its Long Term Goal.

Under the terms of the Senior Notes 2032, from July 16, 2027 until the due date, the interest rate payable will increase by 12.5 basis points unless the Company provides confirmation to the Trustee together with a related confirmation by the External Verifier at least 30 days prior to July 16, 2027, of compliance with the target of reducing industrial water abstraction to a volume less than or equal to 26.1m³ per ton produced, calculated using the average of realized values in 2025 and 2026. In parallel, from July 16, 2026 until the due date, the interest rate payable will increase by 12.5 basis points unless the Company provides confirmation to the thereof trustee, together with a confirmation issued by the external expert at least 30 days prior to July 16, 2026, that the target of 30% or more women in leadership positions has been met by December 31, 2025. Additionally, pursuant to the Sustainability-Linked Securities Framework, the Company has committed to publish annually a Sustainability Report, together with a verification assurance report issued by the External Verifier. Thus, the new debt securities are characterized as sustainability-linked bonds, according to the principles promulgated by the Capital Markets Association.

20.1.2. Labor

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 987 (nine hundred eighty-seven) (1,010 (one thousand and ten) as of December 31, 2020) labor lawsuits.

In general, labor lawsuits are related primarily to matters frequently contested by employees in agribusiness companies, such as certain wages and/or severance payments, in addition to suits filed by outsourced employees of the Company.

20.1.3. Civil, environment and real estate

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 57 (fifty-seven) (58 (fifty-eight) as of December 31, 2020) civil, environmental and real estate lawsuits.

Civil, environment and real estate proceedings are related primarily to payment of damages, such as those resulting from contractual obligations, traffic-related injuries, possessory actions, environmental restoration obligations, claims and others.

20.2.1. Tax and social securities

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 766 (seven hundred sixty-six) (782 (seven hundred eighty-two) as of December 31, 2020) tax proceedings whose likelihood of loss is considered possible, in the total amount of R$7,539,938 (R$7,145,147 as of December 31, 2020) for which there is no provision was recorded.

The other tax and social security lawsuits refer to various taxes, such as IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS, ICMS, ISS, Withholding Income Tax ("IRRF"), PIS and COFINS, mainly due to differences in interpretation of applicable tax rules and information provided in accessory obligations.

The most relevant tax cases are set forth below:

(i) Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - Swap of industrial and forestry assets: in December 2012, the Company received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on a capital gain in February 2007, closing of the transaction, when the Company executed an agreement with International Paper for the swap of industrial and forestry assets.

On January 19, 2016, the Tax Federal Administrative Court (“CARF - Conselho Administrativo de Recursos Fiscais”) rejected as per the casting vote of CARF’s President, the appeal filed by the Company in the administrative process. The Company was notified of the decision on May 25, 2016 and due to the impossibility of new appeal and the consequent closure of the case at the administrative level, decided to continue the discussion with the Judiciary. The Company presented judicial guarantee, which was accepted, and is now awaiting the judgement of the case. We maintain our position to not constitute provisions for contingencies, based on the Company’s and its external legal advisors’ opinion that the probability of loss on this case is possible. In the year ended  December 31, 2021 the amount is R$2,351,673 (R$2,296,032 as of December 31, 2020).

(ii) Income tax assessment - IRPJ/CSLL - disallowance of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses – 2010: in December 2015, we received a tax assessment requiring the payment of IRPJ and CSLL, questioning the deductibility of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses of 2010 included by us in the calculation of income tax expense. We present administrative appeal on the legal period, judged partially valid. The decision was object of voluntary recourse, presented by us in November 2017. On October 16, 2018, the judgement was converted into a diligence, through resolution n. 1402-000723. Currently, the resolution is expected to be formalized. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$728,567 (R$712,531 as of December 31, 2020).

(iii) IRPJ/CSLL - partial approval: the Company requested approval to offset 1997 tax losses with amounts owed to the tax authorities. The authorities approved in March 2009, only R$83,000, which generated a difference of R$51,000. The Company is still awaiting the conclusion of the analysis of the credits discussed at the administrative level following a favorable decision of CARF in August 2019, which granted the Voluntary Appeal filed by the Company. For the remaining credit, the Company has appealed the rejection of the tax credits and obtained a partially favorable decision, and the final decision is under discussion in the judicial level. Shortly after, an appeal was filed, which was judged in session, it was determined the conversion of the done in diligence. On November 6, 2018, a decision was filed reinforcing the tax authorities’ conclusion at the first approval and our arguments. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$106,811 (R$104,873 as of December 31, 2020).

(iv) Tax incentive - Agency for the Development of Northeastern Brazil (“ADENE”): in 2002 the Company was granted its request by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“Receita Federal do Brasil”) to benefit from reductions in corporate income tax and non-refundable surcharges calculated on operating profits (as defined) for Aracruz facilities A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), when the qualification reports for the tax reductions are approved by SUDENE.

In 2004, the Company was served an Official Notice by the liquidator of the former Superintendence for the Development of the Northeast (“SUDENE”), who reported that, the right to use the benefit previously granted is unfounded and would be cancelled. In 2005, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service served the Company an assessment notice requiring the payment of the amounts of the tax incentive used, plus interest. After administrative discussion, the assessment notice was partially upheld and recognized the Company’s right to the tax incentive through 2003.

The Company's Management, supported by its legal counsel, believes that the decision to cancel the tax benefits is erroneous and should not prevail, either with respect to benefits already used, or with respect to benefits not used until the corresponding final periods.

The contingency is being discussed in the judicial sphere, where the final judgment of the Embargoes Execution presented by the Company is awaited. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount  is R$129,701 (R$127,391 as of December 31, 2020).

(v) PIS/COFINS – Goods and services – 2009 to 2011: in December 2013, the Company was assessed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service demanding the collection of PIS and COFINS credits disallowed because they are not allegedly linked to its operating activities. In the first instance, the objection filed by the Company was dismissed. After the Voluntary Appeal was filed, it was partially provided in April 2016. From this decision, the National Treasury filed a Special Appeal to the Superior Chamber and the Company filed a Statement of Appeal, which are still pending judgment. The updated amount involved up to December 31, 2021 is R$169,784 (R$166,355 as of December 31, 2020).

(vi) Offsetting - IRRF - period 2000: the Company filed a lawsuit for offsetting IRRF credits measured in the year ended December 31, 2000, with debts owed to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service. In April 2008, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service partially recognized the credit in favor of the Company. From this decision, the Company filed a Voluntary Appeal with CARF, which is pending judgment. In the year ended  December 31, 2021 the amount  is R$111,437 (R$109,903 as of December 31, 2020).

(vii)Tax assessment - Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution: on October 5, 2020, the Company was notified about the tax assessment issued by the Brazilian Internal Revenue Service claiming the payment of Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution, resulting from the remeasurement of profit of its subsidiary Suzano Trading Ltd in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Besides the Company, Statutory Executive Officers’ (“Officers”) from Suzano Trading were also included as co-responsible. The Company, based on the legal advisors, considered the risk of loss as possible in regard to the Company and, in reference to the Officers, also possible but with more chances of winning (possible to remote). In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$470,119 (R$454,898 as of December 31, 2020).

(viii)Tax assessment - taxation on a universal basis - year 2015: on November 3, 2020, the Company received a tax assessment for the collection of income tax and social contribution, alleging unpaid tax on calendar year 2015, due to the lack of addition, in determining taxable income and the social contribution calculation basis, of profits earned by subsidiaries abroad. The Company, based on the legal advisors, considered the risk of loss as possible. Currently, the defense presented at the administrative level is awaiting judgment. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount is R$149,486 (R$145,026 as of December 31, 2020).

20.2.2. Labor

On December 31, 2021, the Company was a defendant in 1,462 (one thousand, four hundred and sixty-two) labor lawsuits, totaling R$211,767 (1,653 (one thousand, six hundred and fifty-three) labor lawsuits, totaling R$263,971 as of December 31, 2020).

The Company also has several lawsuits in which employees’ unions in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul are included.

20.2.3. Civil and environmental

On December 31, 2021, the Company is a defendant in approximately 205 (two hundred and five) civil, environmental and real estate lawsuits, totaled the amount of R$3,691,778 (324 (three hundred and twenty-four lawsuits totaled R$3,068,884 as of December 31, 2020).

In general, the civil and environmental proceedings in which the Company, including its subsidiaries, is a defendant are mainly related to the discussion about the competence for environmental licensing, repair of environmental damages, matters of an indemnity nature, including those arising from discussions about contractual obligations, precautionary measures, possessory actions, damage repair and revision actions, actions aimed at the recovery of credits (collection actions, monitoring, executions, credit qualifications in bankruptcy and judicial recovery), actions of interest to social movements, such as such as landless workers, quilombola communities, indigenous people and fishermen, and actions resulting from traffic accidents. The Company has a general civil liability insurance policy that aims to cover, within the limits contracted in the policy, any legal convictions, by way of damages caused to third parties (including employees).

Regarding civil matters, we are involved in 2 (two) Public Civil Claims (“Ação Civil Pública”) filed by the Federal Public Prosecution Office  requesting (i) a preliminary injunction to prohibit Company’s trucks from transporting wood in federal highways above legal weight restrictions (ii) an increase in the fine for cases of overweight and (iii) compensation for damages to property allegedly caused to federal highways, the environment and the economic order, and compensation for moral damages. One of the Claims was ruled against the Company. Suzano presented an appeal to the Court of Appeals, requesting an interim relief to stay the effects of such ruling until a final decision is reached. We are currently waiting for the ruling on the interim relief by the 1st Regional Federal Court Appeals. In 2021, both were suspended due to the decision of the STJ to evaluate the points of discussion in the form of a repetitive appeal. Still no date for judgment.

Furthermore, the Company also sued a competitor from the midwest region due to the improper and unauthorized use of a variety of eucalyptus protected by intellectual property rights (cultivar) of the merged subsidiary Fibria. The prohibition of cultivation of this biological asset by the competitor is protected by an injunction still in force. While the sentence is pending, the competitor filed an action to annul the cultivar registration, but the course of the first action was not harmed. The judgment of the case is awaited.

In November 2020, a maritime logistics provider initiated an arbitration proceeding against the Company following the early termination of the contract. The counterparty pleads the execution of a put option clause (imposing the ownership and acquisition of barges) supposedly provided for in the contract as a penalty for early termination, as well as the payment of alleged losses and damages suffered as a result of the termination. Suzano, in turn, claims that the put option is not due and, even if it were due, the put option clause is

abusive in the economic relationship of the contract. The case is still in the process of submitting the formal statements of each party to the Arbitral Tribunal.

The Company is still defendant in 2 (“two”) ACPs, filed in 2015 by the Federal Public Ministry (“MPF”) and the National Institute for Colonization and Agricultural Reform (“INCRA”) against the merged subsidiary Fibria, from the State Espírito Santo and BNDES, aiming at the nullity of some property titles granted by the State to the Company in the municipalities of Conceição da Barra and São Mateus. The decisions, issued by the judge of 1st instance of the Federal Justice, declare the nullity of these titles and determine the return of these properties to the property of the State. The decisions rendered are not final and the Company has filed appropriate appeals for the reversal of this decision in the 2nd instance. It is important to highlight that the properties whose titles are discussed in the ACPs add up to a total of approximately 10,500 hectares, and of this total, according to Suzano's best information, only approximately 4,000 hectares are included in demarcation procedures initiated by INCRA in favor of quilombola communities in region. None of these demarcation procedures is finalized. Suzano is the legitimate owner of the properties under discussion and will continue to discuss the matter in court, in order to prove in court the legality of the acquisitions made at the time of acquisition.

Among the environmental lawsuits, 1 (“one”) ACPs filed by the MPF in the northeast region of Brazil stand out, challenging the jurisdiction of the state environmental agency to grant environmental licenses. The MPF alleges that the environmental licensing procedures related to our industrial plant in the state of Maranhão must be carried out by the Federal Environment Agency (“IBAMA”). The risks involved are delays in our planting schedule and the suspension of activities at the Maranhão industrial unit until a new license is issued. We believe that there are good chances of defense in this case, since IBAMA does not recognize that it has competence to execute the licensing process and there is no clear legal basis to support such jurisdiction.

In addition, we are involved in 1 (“one”) ACP filed by the MPF in the state of the negative impacts of our operation in the Baixo Parnaíba Region. The MPF claims that the occupation of these areas caused socio-environmental impacts in eastern Maranhão. Currently, the action is in the preparatory phase, with the beginning of the expert procedures. We believe in remote chances of loss in this case, since the report used to support the requests was made unilaterally and will be questioned during the expert investigation.

It should be noted that 2 (“two”) litigations that appeared in previous financial statements were closed, which are: i) ACP related to the environmental impacts allegedly caused in the city of Cubatão/SP, in which an agreement was reached with the Public Ministry of State of São Paulo (“MPSP”), pending ratification by the São Paulo Court of Justice and ii) ACP related to the licensing of eucalyptus plantations in the Urbano Santos/MA region, in which an agreement was signed by the competent federal court.

20.3. Contingent assets

20.3.1. Assets arising from the exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis

In judgment held on May 13, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) examined the amendment of judgment filed by the Federal Government, set out the understanding regarding the exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis in the Extraordinary Appeal proceeding nº 574,706, stating that:

(i) The effects of exclusion of VAT (ICMS) from PIS and COFINS tax basis must take place after March 15, 2017, except for lawsuits and administrative requirements filled by March 15, 2017, and

(ii) The VAT (ICMS) to be excluded from tax basis from PIS and COFINS is what is highlighted in the invoices.

With the edition of Opinion Nº. 7698/2021, the National Treasury Attorney's Office ("PGFN"), confirming the understanding of the STF, established that:

(i) Regarding to income earned from March 16, 2017, VAT (ICMS) value highlighted in the corresponding sales invoices must not be included on tax basis of PIS and COFINS, regardless of whether legal entity has filed a lawsuit or not; and

(ii) Regarding to income earned up to March 15, 2017, VAT (ICMS) value highlighted in the corresponding sales invoices must not be included on tax basis of PIS and COFINS, only if the legal entity has filed a lawsuit by March 15, 2017.

Over the years, the Company and its associates have filled lawsuits to recognize their rights to exclude ICMS (VAT) from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, including periods since March 1992. The lawsuits filed by the Company and its associates are in different procedural phases, with some final decision and other pending final position by the Courts. Notwithstanding, the fact that the lawsuits are in different procedural phases, the Company believes, supported by its legal counsel, that due to the final decision by the STF on the matter, the economic benefits arising from the lawsuits are practically certain and, therefore, they are no longer contingent assets, and the credits must be recorded.

Thus, in the year ended December 31, 2021, the total PIS and COFINS tax credits to be recovered recognized by the Company, following exactly the terms decided by the STF regarding the exclusion of ICMS (VAT) from the PIS and COFINS tax basis, is R$582,433, of which were recognized, R$128,115 in September 2019 and R$454,318 until December 2021. Recognition is based on the best estimate and tax documents currently available, and this amount may be subject to adjustments arising from obtaining tax documents for older periods and/or other adjustments, to the estimate that may arise in the final confirmation of the effective values of the credit.

20.3.2. SELIC update on undue tax

In September 2021, the STF held, by a majority of votes, that the Federal Government cannot charge IRPJ and CSLL on amounts referring to the SELIC rate received due to the repetition of undue tax. Nevertheless, the aforementioned judgment has not been definitively concluded with the respective final and unappealable decision, the Company, together with its advisors, understands that, in principle, there is no possibility of reversing the understanding on the merits. In this way, the Company carried out a survey of the credits referring to IRPJ and CSLL to be recovered, and in view of the immateriality of the amounts until this moment, it understands the continuity of the survey with external advisors for the proper bookkeeping of the assets in a timely manner.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

22. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company has 3 (three) share-based, long-term compensation plans, (i) Phantom stock option plan (“PS”) and (ii) Share Appreciation Rights (“SAR”), both settled in local currency and (iii) restricted shares, settled in shares.

The characteristics and measurement method of such each plan are disclosed below.

22.1. Long term compensation plans (“PS and SAR”)

Certain executives and key members of the Management have a long-term compensation plan linked to the share price with payment in cash.

Throughout 2020, the Company granted the SAR and PLUS (Share Appreciation Rights) (“SAR”) plans of phantom stock options. In this plan,

In the PS plan, the beneficiary does not make any investment and in the SAR plan, the beneficiaries should invest 5% of the total amount corresponding to the number of options of phantom shares at the grant date and 20% after 3 (three) years to acquire the option. The Company also granted long-term incentive plans to its key members as part of its retention policy.

The vesting period of options may vary from 3 (three) to 5 (five) years, as of the grant date, in accordance with the characteristics of each plan.

The price of the share is calculated based on the average share quote of the 90 previous trading sessions starting from the closing quote on the last business day of the month prior to the month of the grant. The installments of these programs will be adjusted by the variation in the price of the SUZB3 at B3, between the granting and the payment period. On dates when the SUZB3 shares is not traded, the quote of the previous trading session will be considered.

The phantom share options will only be due if the beneficiary is an employee of the Company on the payment date. In case of termination of the employment by initiative of the Company or by initiative of the beneficiary, before the vesting period is completed, the executive will not be entitled to receive all benefits, unless otherwise established in the agreements.

The rollforward is set forth below:

	December 31,	December 31,	December 31,

(1) Amounts expressed in Reais.

22.2 Restricted shares plan

The Company also offers a Restricted Shares plan based on the Company's performance (Program Restricted Shares). The plan associates the quantity of restricted shares granted to the Company's performance, which in 2021 was in relation to the operating cash generation target and ESG. The quantity of the restricted stock granted is defined in financial terms and is subsequently converted into shares based on the last 60 (sixty) stock exchange trading days on December 31, 2021 of SUZB3 at B3.

After measurement of the target, that occurs 12 months after the execution of the contract, the restricted shares will be granted immediately (conditioned to the achievement of the established goals), as they not have to comply to the vesting period. However, the beneficiaries of the grant must comply to the lockup period of thirty-six (36) months during which they will not be able to market the shares.

In the event that the beneficiaries leave the Company before the end of the fiscal year for the measurement of operating cash generation, they will lose the right to the grant of restricted share.

The position is set forth below:

	Date of the
	execution of		Price on		Shares	Restricted year for
Program	the contract	Grant date	grant date		Granted	transfer of shares
2018	01/02/2018	01/02/2019	R$	39.10	130,435	01/02/2022
2019	01/02/2020	01/02/2021	R$	51.70	106,601	01/02/2024
2021	01/02/2021	01/02/2022	R$	53.81	90,005	01/02/2025

22.3 Measurement assumptions

In the case of the phantom shares plan, since the settlement is in cash, the fair value of options is remeasured at the end of each period based on the Monte Carlo Method (“MMC”), which is multiplied by the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) in the period which varies between 75% and 125%, depending on the performance of SUZB3 in relation to its peers in Brazil.

The restricted stock plan considers the following assumptions:

(i) the expectation of volatility was calculated for each exercise date, considering the remaining time to complete the vesting year, as well as the historical volatility of returns, using the GARCH model for calculating volatility;

(ii) the expectation of average life of phantom stocks and stock options was defined by the remaining term until the limit exercise date;

(iii) the expectation of dividends was defined based on historical earnings per share of the Suzano;  and

(iv) risk-free weighted average interest rate used was the Brazilian Reais yield curve (DI expectation) observed on the open market, which is the best comparison basis with the Brazilian market risk-free interest rates. The rate used for each exercise date changes according to the vesting year.

The amounts corresponding to the services received and recognized are set forth below:

Consolidated financial statements

3.2.1. Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the information of Suzano and its subsidiaries in the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies. The Company consolidates all subsidiaries over

which it has direct or indirect control, that is, when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns on its investment with the subsidiary and has the capacity and ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiary.

Additionally, all transactions and balances between Suzano and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, as well as unrealized gains or losses arising from these transactions, net of tax effects. Non-controlling interest is highlighted.

Subsidiaries

3.2.2. Subsidiaries

These all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity, generally through a majority voting rights. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns on its investment with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.  

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Joint operations

3.2.3. Joint operations

These are all entities in which the Company maintains the contractually established control over its economic activity and exists only when the strategic, financial and operational decisions regarding the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.

In the consolidated financial statements, the balance of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized proportionally to the interest in joint operation.

Associated and joint ventures

3.2.4. Associated and joint ventures

These are all entities are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the equity method, being increased or reduced from its interest in the investee's income after the acquisition date.

In the investments in associates, the Company must have significant influence, which is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, without having its control or joint control of those policies. In investments in joint ventures there is a contractually agreed sharing of control through an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

In relation to associates Ensyn and Spinnova, the equity is measured based on the latest available information and does not have a material impact in the consolidated financial statement and, if any significant event had occurred until December 31, 2021, it would be adjusted in the consolidated financial statement.

Translation of financial statements to functional and presentation currency

3.2.5. Translation of financial statements to functional and presentation currency

The Company defined that for all its wholly owned subsidiaries, the functional and presentation currency is the Real, except for investments in associates abroad related to Ensyn Corporation, F&E Technologies LLC, Spinnova Oy, Woodspin Oy and Celluforce, the functional currencies are different from the Real, whose accumulated gain or loss effects on the conversion of financial statements, are recorded in other comprehensive income, in equity.

The individual financial information of each subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statement, are prepared in accordance with local currency of the subsidiary operates and translated into Company’s functional and presentation currency.

3.2.5.1. Transactions and balances in foreign currency

These are translated using the following criteria:

(i) monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at year-end;

(ii) non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of the transaction;

(iii) revenues and expenses are translated based on monthly average rate; and

(iv) the cumulative effects of gains or losses upon translation are recognized in the other comprehensive income.

Hyperinflationary economies

3.2.6. Hyperinflationary economies

Entities based in Argentina, a country considered to have a hyperinflationary economy, are subject to the requirements of IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Non-monetary items, as well as incomes and expenses, are adjusted by the changes in the inflation index between the initial recognition and the closing date, so that the balances are stated at current value.

However, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary based in Argentina, has the Real as its functional currency and, therefore, is not considered an entity with a hyperinflationary currency and does not present its individual financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. The financial statements are presented at historical cost.

Business combinations

3.2.7. Business combinations

These are accounted for using the acquisition method when control is transferred to acquirer. The cost of an acquisition is the sum of the consideration paid, evaluated based on the fair value at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire. For each business combination, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquire either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recorded as expense when incurred, except for costs related to the issuance of debt instruments or equity instruments, which are presented as debt reduction or equity, respectively.

In a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are evaluate in order to classify and allocate them assessing the terms of the agreement, economic circumstances and other conditions at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, net of any accumulated impairment losses. For purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill recognized in a business combination, as from the acquisition date, is allocated to each of the Company’s cash generating units.

Gains on an advantageous purchase are recognized immediately in the result. The borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement as incurred.

Contingent liabilities related to tax, civil and labor classified in the acquired company as possible and remote risk is recognized by the acquirer, at its fair values.

Transactions in the acquisition of shares with shared control over the net assets traded apply complementary guidance to IFRS 3 - Business Combination, IFRS 11 and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Based on the equity method, investment is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted for recognition of changes in the Company's share in the acquirer's Shareholders' equity as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is segregated from carrying amount of the investment. Other

intangible assets identified in the transaction shall be allocated in proportion to the interest acquired by the Company, by the difference between the carrying amounts recorded in the acquired entity and its fair value assets, which may be amortized.

Segment information

3.2.8. Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Company that carries out business activities from which it can obtain revenues and incur expenses. The operating segments reflect how the Company’s management reviews financial information to make decisions. The Company’s management has identified reportable segments, which meet the quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements. The segments identified for disclosure represent mainly sales channels.

Cash and cash equivalents

3.2.9. Cash and cash equivalents

Include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments with maturities, upon acquisition, of 90 days or less, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

Financial instruments

3.2.10. Financial instruments

3.2.10.1. Classification

Financial instruments are classification based on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired, as set forth below:

(i) amortized cost;

(ii) fair value through other comprehensive income;and

(iii) fair value through profit or loss.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, it means, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial instruments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred but only if Fibria has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

3.2.10.1.1. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

Financial instruments held by the Company (i) in order to receive their contractual cash flow and not to sell to realization a profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Any changes are recognized under financial income (expense) in income statement.

It includes the balance of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and other assets, classified as financial assets and the balance of loans, financing and debentures, lease payables, accounts payable for the acquisition of assets and subsidiaries, suppliers and other liabilities, classified as financial liabilities.

3.2.10.1.2. Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets held by the Company (i) either to receive their contractual cash flow as the for sale with realization of profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise on specified dates, to cash flows constituting, exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In addition, investments in equity instruments where, on initial recognition, the Company elected to present subsequent changes in its fair value to other comprehensive income, are classified in this category. Any changes are recognized under net financial income (expense) in income statement, except for the fair value of investment in equity instruments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

This category includes the balance of other investments.

3.2.10.1.3.Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Any changes are recognized under financial income (expense) in income statement for non-derivative financial instruments and for financial derivative instruments under income from derivative financial instruments.

This category includes the balance of marketable securities, classified as financial assets financial and derivative financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, stock options, classified as financial assets and liabilities.

3.2.10.2. Settlement of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are settled and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when there is a (i) legally enforceable right to settle the recognized amounts and (ii) there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.2.10.3. Impairment of financial assets

3.2.10.3.1. Financial instruments measured at amortized cost

Annually, the Company assesses if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired. A financial is impaired only if there is evidence of an impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated.

The criteria that the Company uses to determine if there is evidence of an impairment loss include:

(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

(ii) default or late interest or principal payments in the agreement;

(iii) where Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, grants to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise receive;

(iv) it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

(v) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; and

(vi) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.

The amount of an impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset is impaired the carrying amount of the asset is reduced and a loss is recognized in the income statement.

In a subsequent measurement, if there is an improvement in  the asset rating, such as an improvement in the debtor's credit rating, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.

3.2.10.3.2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Annually, the Company evaluate if there is evidence that a financial asset is impaired.

For such financial assets, a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value of the security below its cost is an evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists, impairment loss is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income, shall be recognized in the income statement.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

3.2.11. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives financial instruments are recognized at fair value on the date the derivative agreement is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in under result of derivative financial instruments in the income statement.

Embedded derivatives in non-derivative main contracts are required to be separated when their risks and characteristics are not-closely related to those of main contracts and these are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Non-option embedded derivatives are separated from the main contracts in accordance with its stated or implied substantive terms, so that they have zero fair value on initial recognition.

Trade accounts receivables

3.2.12. Trade accounts receivables

These are recorded at the invoiced amount, in the normal course of the Company´s business, adjusted to exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency and, if applicable, net of expected credit losses.

The Company applies the aging-based provision matrix with the appropriate grouping of your portfolio. When necessary, based on individual analysis, the provision for expected loss is supplemented.

The Company examines on a monthly basis the maturity of receivables and identifies those customers with overdue balances assessing the specific situation of each client including the risk of loss, the existence of contracted insurance, letters of credit, collateral and the customer’s financial situation. In the event of default, collection attempts are made, which include direct contact with customers and collection through third parties. Should these efforts prove unsuccessful, court measures are considered and credit expected loss is recognized. The notes are written-off from the credit expected loss when Management considers that they are not recoverable after taking all appropriate measures to collect them.

Inventories

3.2.13. Inventories

These are evaluated at average acquisition or formation cost of finished products, net of recoverable taxes, not exceeding their net realizable value.

Finished products and work-in-process consist of raw materials, direct labor, production costs, freight, storage and general production expenses, which are related to the processes required to make the products available for sale.

Imports in transit are presented at the cost incurred until the balance sheet date.

The raw materials derived from biological assets are measured based on their fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest and freight costs.

Provisions for obsolescence, adjustments to net realizable value, impaired items and slow-moving inventories are recorded when necessary. Usual production losses are recorded and are an integral part of the production cost of the respective month, whereas abnormal losses, if any, are recorded directly as cost of sales.

Non-current assets held for sale

3.2.14. Non-current assets held for sale

These are measured at carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, whichever is lower, and are not depreciated or amortized. Such items are only classified under this account when the sale is highly probable and they are available for immediate sale under their current conditions.

Biological assets

3.2.15. Biological assets

The biological assets for production (mature and immature forests) are reforestation eucalyptus forests, with a formation cycle between planting until the harvest of approximately 7 (seven) years, measured at fair value. Depletion is measured by the amount of biological assets depleted (harvested) and measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell.

For the determination of the fair value, the income approach technique was applied using the discounted cash flow model, according to the projected productivity cycle for these assets. The assumptions used to measure the fair value are reviewed every six months, as the Company considers that this interval is sufficient so that there is no significant gap in the fair value balance of biological assets booked. Significant assumptions are presented in note 13.

The gain or loss on the assessment of fair value is recognized in the operating income (expenses), net.

Biological assets in formation under the age of 2 (two) years, accounted for at the formation cost and the areas of permanent environmental preservation, which are not recorded, and it is not included in the measurement at fair value, because it is not characterized as biological assets.

Property, plant and equipment

3.2.16. Property, plant and equipment

Stated at the cost of acquisition, formation, construction or dismantling, net of recoverable taxes. Such cost is deducted of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, when incurred, at the highest of the value of use and sale, less cost to sell. The borrowing costs are capitalized as a component of construction in progress, considering the weighted average rate, adjusted for the equalization of exchange rate effect, of the Company’s debt at the capitalization date.

Depreciation is recognized based on the estimated economic useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual values and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively. Land is not depreciated.

The Company annually performs an analysis of impairment indicators of property, plant and equipment. An impairment for loss for property, plant and equipment, is only recognized if the related cash-generating unit is devalued. Such condition is also applied if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than it is carrying amount. The recoverable amount of asset or cash-generating unit is the highest of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell.

The cost of major renovations is capitalized if the future economic benefits exceed the performance standard initially estimated for the asset and are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

Repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are measured by comparing the proceeds with the book value and are recognized as other operating income a (expense), net at the disposal date.

Leases

3.2.17. Leases

A contract is, or contains a lease, if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration, for which it is necessary to assess whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset, which may be explicit or implicit, and may be physically distinct or represent substantially the entire capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantial right to replace the asset, then the asset is not identified;

(ii) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from using the asset during the contract period; and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has the right to decide to change how and for what purpose the asset is used, if:

● has the right to operate the asset, or

● designed the asset, in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At the beginning of the contract, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability that represents the obligation to make payments related to the underlying asset of the lease.

The right-to-use asset is initially measured at cost and comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any payment made on or before the contract start date, plus any direct initial costs incurred and estimated disassembly, removal costs, restoration of the asset in the place where it is located, less any incentive received.

The right-to-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the start date to the end of the useful life of the right to use or the end of the lease term. Except for land agreements that are automatically extended for the same period by means of notification to the lessor, for the other agreements are not allowed automatic renewals and for an indefinite period, as well as the exercise of termination is a right of both parties.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments not made, less the incremental loan rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change:

(i) in future payments resulting from a change in index or rate;

(ii) in the estimate of the expected amount to be paid in the guaranteed residual value; or

(iii) in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise the purchase option, extension or termination.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment amount is recorded in the book value of the right-of-use asset or in the profit and loss statement, if the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company does not have lease agreements with clauses of:

(i) variable payments that are based on the performance of the leased assets;

(ii) guarantee of residual value; and

(iii) restrictions, such as, for example, obligation to maintain financial ratios.

Short-term or low-value contracts for the exemption of the standard refers to contracts where the individual value of the assets is lower than U.S.$5 and maturity date is before 12 months, are expensed as incurred.

Intangible assets

3.2.18. Intangible assets

These are measured at cost at the time they are initially recognized. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination corresponds to the fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable.

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over the economic useful life and reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication that their carrying values may be impaired. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. The amortization of intangible assets with a finite useful life is recognized in the statement of income as an expense related to its use and consistently with the economic useful life of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment losses, individually or at the level of the CGU. The allocation is made to the CGU or group of CGUs that represents the lowest level within the entity, in which the goodwill is monitored for management's internal purposes, and that has benefited from the business combination. The Company records in this subgroup mainly goodwill for expected future profitability (goodwill) and easement of passage.

Such test involved the adoption of assumptions and judgments, disclosed in Note 16.

Current and deferred income tax and social contribution

3.2.19. Current and deferred income tax and social contribution

Income taxes comprise income tax and social contribution on net income, current and deferred. These taxes are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that they are related to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, they are recognized in equity under other reserves.

The current charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted in the countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates the positions assumed in the income tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulations give rise to interpretations and establishes provisions, when appropriate, based on the amounts that must be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred tax and contribution liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred taxes and contributions are determined based on the rates in force on the balance sheet date and, which must be applied when they are realized or when they are settled.

Deferred tax assets and contributions are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to be used to offset temporary differences, based on projections of future results prepared and based on internal assumptions and future economic scenarios that may, therefore, undergo changes.

The projection for realization of deferred tax assets was prepared based on Management's estimates that are based on significant judgments and assumptions relating to net average pulp and paper prices and the transfer price with the subsidiary based in Austria. However, there are other assumptions that are not under the control of the Company, such as inflation rates, exchange rates, pulp prices practiced in the international market and other economic uncertainties in Brazil, future results may differ from those considered in the preparation of the consolidated projection.

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except when the timing of the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Company, and if it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in a foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes and contributions assets and liabilities are offset by the net amount in the balance sheet whenever related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

Trade accounts payable

3.2.20. Trade accounts payable

Corresponds to the obligations payable for goods or services acquired in the normal course of the Company´s business, recognized at fair value and,  subsequently,  measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, adjusted to present value and exchange rate variation when denominated in foreign currency, when applicable.

Loans and financing

3.2.21. Loans and financing

Loans and financing are initially recognized at their fair value, net of costs incurred in the transaction and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised and settled is recognized in the statement of income during the period in which the loans and financing are outstanding, using the effective tax rate method.

General or specific borrowing costs, directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualified asset, are capitalized as a part of the cost of asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits for the entity and that these costs may be measured with reliability. The Company does not have specific loans to obtain qualified assets. Other loan costs are recognized as expense in the period they are incurred.

Provision, contingent assets and liabilities

3.2.22. Provision, contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are not recorded. The recognition is only performed when are guarantees or judicial decisions favorable and the amount can be measured with safety. Contingent assets, for which such conditions are not met, are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

The provisions are provided to the extent that the Company expects that is probable that it will disburse cash and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tax, civil, environment and labor proceedings are accrued when losses are assessed as probable and the amounts involved can be reliably measured. When the expectation of loss is possible, a description of the processes and amounts involved is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent liabilities assessed as remote losses are neither accrued nor disclosed.

A contingent liabilities of business combinations are recognized if they arise from a present obligation that arose from past events and if their fair value can be measured reliably and subsequently are measured at the higher of:

(i) the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the accounting policy for the provisions above that comply with IAS 37; or

(ii) the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, of recognized revenue in accordance with the policy of recognizing revenue from customer contracts IFRS 15.

Asset retirement obligations

3.2.23. Asset retirement obligations

These primarily relate to future costs for the decommissioning of industrial landfill and related assets. A provision is recorded as a long-term obligation against property, plant and equipment. The provision and the corresponding property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at fair value, based on the present value of estimated cash flows for future cash payments discounted by an adjusted risk-free rate. The long-term obligation accrues interest using a long-term discount rate. The property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the principal against to cost of sales of the income statement.

Share based payments

3.2.24. Share based payments

The Company’s executives and managers receive their compensation partially as share-based payment plans to be settled in cash and shares, and alternatively in cash.

Plan-related expenses are recognized in the income statement as a corresponding entry to financial liabilities during the vesting period when services will be rendered. The financial liability is measured by its fair value every balance sheet date and its variation is recorded in the income statement as administrative expenses.

At the option exercise date, if such options are exercised by executive in order to receive Company’s shares, financial liabilities are reclassified under stock options granted in shareholders’ equity. In case of option exercise paid in cash, the Company settles the financial liability in favor to the Company’s executives.

Employee benefits

3.2.25. Employee benefits

The Company offers benefits related to supplementary contribution plan to all employees and medical assistance and insurance life for a determined group of former employees, and for the last two benefits an actuarial appraisal is annually prepared by an independent actuary and are reviewed by Management.

Other assets and liabilities current and non-current

3.2.26. Other assets and liabilities current and non-current

Assets are recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and its cost or value can be measured reliably.

Government grants and assistance

3.2.27. Government grants and assistance

Government grants and assistance are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the conditions established by the granting Governmental Authority were observed and that these subsidies will be obtained. These are recorded as revenue or expense deduction in the income statement for the period of enjoyment of benefit and subsequently are allocated to the tax incentives reserve under shareholders’ equity, when applicable.

Dividend and interest on own capital

3.2.28. Dividend and interest on own capital

The distribution of dividends or interest on shareholders' equity is recognized as a liability, calculated based on Corporate Law, the bylaws and the Company's Dividend Policy, which establishes that the minimum annual dividend is the lowest amount between (i) 25%

of adjusted net income or (ii) the consolidated operating cash flow for the year and, provided they are declared before the end of the year. Any portion in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends, if declared after the balance sheet date, must be recorded under the additional dividends proposed in shareholders' equity, until approved by the shareholders at the General Assembly. After approval, reclassification to current liabilities is made.

The tax benefit of interest on equity is recognized in the income statement.

Share capital

Common shares are classified under shareholders’ equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to a public offer are stated under shareholders’ equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes.

Revenue recognition

3.2.30. Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers are recognized as at which the products to customers transfer of control, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.

The Company follows the five-step model: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of performance obligations under contracts; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation provided for in the contracts and (v) recognition of revenue when the performance obligation is met.

For operating segment Pulp, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”), when destined for the foreign market and (ii) lead time, when destined for the internal market.

For operating segment Paper and Consumer Goods, revenue recognition is based on the parameters provided by (i) the corresponding International Commercial Terms (“Incoterms”) and (ii) lead time and are products destined for external and internal market.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts and recognized in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting, when the amount is reliably measured.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates and discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A provision for reimbursement (included in trade accounts receivable) is recognized for expected rebates and discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No significant element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a short credit term.

Financial income and expenses

3.2.31. Financial income and expenses

Include interest income on financial assets, at the effective interest rate that includes the amortization of funding raising costs, gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, interest on loans and financing, exchange variations on loans and financing and other assets and financial liabilities and monetary variations on other assets and liabilities. Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest method.

Earnings (losses) per share

3.2.32. Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by (losses) the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the year.

Diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, during the year, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued when converting all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Employee and management profit sharing

3.2.33. Employee and management profit sharing

Employees are entitled to profit sharing based on certain goals agreed annually. For the Administrators, the statutory provisions proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders are used as a basis. Provisions for participation are recognized in the administrative expense, during the period in which the targets are attained.

Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

3.2.34. Accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

As disclosed in note 2, Management used judgments, estimates and accounting assumptions regarding the future, whose uncertainty may lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the book value of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses in future years, are presented below:

● control, significant influence and consolidation (Note 1.1);

● share-based payment transactions (Note 22);

● transfer to control for revenue recognition (Note 28);

● fair value of financial instruments (Note 4);

● annual analysis of the impairment of non-financial assets (Notes 15 and 16);

● expected credit losses (Note 7);

● net realizable value provision for inventories (Note 8);

● annual analyses of recoverability of taxes (Notes 9 e 12);

● fair value of biological assets (Note 13);

● useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with defined useful life (Notes 15 and 16);

● annual analysis recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 16);

● provision for legal liabilities (Note 20); and

● pension and post-employment plans (Note 21);

The Company reviews the estimates and underlying assumptions used in its accounting estimates on annual basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet adopted

3.3. New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet adopted

The new and changed standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted until December 31, 2021, are described below. The Company intends to adopt these new standards, changes and interpretations, if applicable, when it come into force and does not expect to have a material impact on the financial statements.

3.3.1. Business Combination IFRS 3 - Reference to the conceptual framework (Applicable on/or after January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted if the entity also adopts all other updated references (published together with the updated Conceptual Framework) on the same date or earlier.

The amendments update IFRS 3 so that it refers to the 2018 Conceptual Framework instead of the 1989 Structure. It also include in IFRS 3 the requirement that, for obligations within the scope of IAS 37, the buyer applies IAS 37 to determine whether there is a present obligation on the acquisition date due to past events. For a tax within the scope of IFRIC 21 - Levies, the buyer applies IFRIC 21 to determine whether the event that resulted in the obligation to pay the tax occurred up to the date of acquisition.

The amendments add an explicit statement that the buyer does not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.

3.3.2. IAS 37 - Onerous contracts: Cost to fulfill an onerous contract (Applicable for annual periods on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets clarify what “costs to fulfill a contract” represent when a onerous contract is assessed. Some entities that apply the “incremental cost” approach may have the value of their provisions increased, or new provisions recognized for onerous contracts as a result of the new definition.

The need for clarification was caused by the introduction of IFRS 15, which replaced the existing requirements related to revenue, including guidelines contained in IAS 11, which dealt with construction contracts. While  IAS 11 specified which costs were included as costs to fulfill a contract, IAS 37 did not do, generating a diversity of practice. The amendment aims to clarify which costs should be included in the assessment.

3.3.3. Property, plant and equipment - IAS 16 – Revenue earned before an asset is ready for its intended use (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

In the process of building an item of property, plant and equipment for its intended use, an entity may in the same time produce and sell products generated in the process of construction of the item of property, plant and equipment. Before the change proposed by the IASB, in practice, several ways of accounting for such revenues were found. The IASB has amended the standard to provide guidance on accounting for such revenues and related production costs.

With the new proposal, the sale revenue is no longer deducted from the cost of property, plant and equipment, but is recognized in the income statement together with the production costs of these items. IAS 2 Inventories must be applied in the identification and measurement of production costs.

3.3.4. IFRS 1 – First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment provides additional relief to a subsidiary which becomes a first-time adopter later than its parent in respect of accounting for cumulative translation differences. As a result of the amendment, a subsidiary that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a) can now also elect to measure cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations at the carrying amount that would be included in the parent’s consolidated financial statements, based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS Standards, if no adjustments were made for

consolidation procedures and for the effects of the business combination in which the parent acquired the subsidiary. A similar election is available to an associate or joint venture that uses the exemption in IFRS 1:D16(a).

3.3.5. IFRS 9 – Financial instruments (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment clarifies that in applying the ‘10 per cent’ test to assess whether to derecognise a financial liability, an entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other’s behalf.

The amendment is applied prospectively to modifications and exchanges that occur on or after the date the entity first applies the amendment.

3.3.6. IFRS 16 – Leases (no effective date is stated)

The amendment removes the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements.

As the amendment to IFRS 16 only regards an illustrative example, no effective date is stated.

3.3.7. IAS 41 – Agriculture (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2022, early adoption permitted)

The amendment removes the requirement in IAS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value. This aligns the fair value measurement in IAS 41 with the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement to use internally consistent cash flows and discount rates and enables preparers to determine whether to use pretax or post-tax cash flows and discount rates for the most appropriate fair value measurement.

The amendment is applied prospectively, i.e. for fair value measurements on or after the date an entity initially applies the amendment.

3.3.8. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (The effective date of the amendments has yet to be set by IASB; however, earlier application to the amendments is permitted)

The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 deal with situations where there is a sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. Specifically, the amendments state that gains or losses resulting from the loss of control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business in a transaction with an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method, are recognised in the parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture. Similarly, gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of investments retained in any former subsidiary (that has become an associate or a joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method) to fair value are recognised in the former parent’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the new associate or joint venture.

3.3.9. Presentation of the financial statements – IAS 1 – Classification of liabilities as current and non-current (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments to IAS 1 affect only the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current in the balance sheet and not the amount or the time of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expense, or the information disclosed about these items.

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on the rights existing at the balance sheet date, specify that the classification is not affected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to postpone the settlement

of the liability, explain that the rights exist if restrictive clauses are complied with at the balance sheet date, and introduce the definition of 'settlement' to clarify that refers to the transfer to a counterparty; a cash value, equity instruments, other assets or services.

3.3.10. Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements – Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023, early adoption permitted)

The amendments change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendments replace all instances of the term ‘significant accounting policies’ with ‘material accounting policy information’. Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

The supporting paragraphs in IAS 1 are also amended to clarify that accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

3.3.11. Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. The definition of a change in accounting estimates was deleted. However, the Board retained the concept of changes in accounting estimates in the Standard with the following clarifications:

(i) A change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error

(ii) The effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors

3.3.12. Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (Applicable for annual periods beginning on/or after January 1, 2023)

The amendments introduce a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.

Depending on the applicable tax law, equal taxable and deductible temporary differences may arise on initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. For example, this may arise upon recognition of a lease liability and the corresponding right-of-use asset applying IFRS 16 at the commencement date of a lease.

Following the amendments to IAS 12, an entity is required to recognise the related deferred tax asset and liability, with the recognition of any deferred tax asset being subject to the recoverability criteria in IAS 12.

The amendments apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period an entity recognises:

(i) A deferred tax asset (to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised) and a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:

● Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and

● Decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related asset.

(ii) The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

On December 31, 2021 the Company did not meet all limits and requirements therefore the expense is not deductible for the period.

3) Income tax and social contribution deduction on profit or loss referring to the use of the (i) expenses with research and development (ii) PAT benefit ("Worker Food Program"), (iii) donations made in cultural projects, audiovisual, (iv) child and adolescent rights funds, and (v) extension of maternity and paternity leave.
