1 | Justify the proposed plan by explaining: |
(a) | the main objectives of the plan |
The Plan is intended to: (i) establish rules so that Participants may receive Restricted Shares in a non onerous manner; (ii) increase the long-term alignment of the Participants' interests with the interests of the shareholders, broaden the Participants' sense of ownership, commitment and value generation through the concept of investment and risk; e (iii) strengthen the incentives for permanence and long-term stability of the Participants, within the context of a publicly traded company.
(b) | how the plan contributes to these objectives |
By enabling employees, managers and consultants to become shareholders of the Company under potentially differentiated conditions, after the compliance with permanency conditions, they are expected to have strong incentives to remain in the Company and to effectively commit to long-term value creation, exercising its functions in a manner that integrates with the Company's interests, corporate objectives and growth plans, thus maximizing its profits.
(c) | How the plan fits into the company's remuneration policy |
The proposed long-term incentive plan aims at monitoring market practices and offering fair benefits to Participants according to market standards and that meet the interests of the Company. The purpose of this plan is to strengthen long-term compensation, offering the possibility of even more attractive returns, and, on the other hand, requires a strong demonstration of commitment by the Participants in creating value for the Company and its shareholders.
In addition, the Plan contributes to the retention strategy of managers and employees of the Company and other controlled companies or that may be controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company, according to eligibility criteria to be defined by the Board of Directors or Management Committee.
(d) | How the plan aligns the interests of the Beneficiaries and the company in the short, medium and Long-term |
25 |
The Plan aligns the interests of the Participants with those of the Company and the companies controlled by the Company, since the Participants have an additional incentive to implement short, medium and Long-term shares that generate value for the Company in the Long-term and that will be, therefore, reflected in the appreciation of the shares issued by the Company.
2 | Estimate the company's expenses arising from the plan, in accordance with the accounting rules that deal with this matter |
The expenses to be incurred under the Plan will be calculated in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 10 (R1) of the Accounting Pronouncements Committee approved by CVM Resolution No. 650, of December 16, 2010 ("CPC10(R1)”), and depend on factors not yet known, such as the number of grants to be effectively made, the market value of the Company's shares at the time of each grant and the rate of evasion of the Plan.
