As of June 30, 2020, the Company has three voluntary severance programs (PDV) and one Incentive Retirement Program (PAI) in force:

 

  i. PDV 2019 for retired employees under the Brazilian Social Security Institute (INSS) by June 2020;
  ii. PDV specific for employees of divestment units;
  iii. PDV exclusively for corporate segment employees; and
  iv. PAI aimed at employees who are currently eligible to retire under INSS, expiring on December 31, 2023.

Changes in the provision for expenses relating to voluntary severance programs implemented by the Company are set out as follows:

Separations in the period (57) (71)
Cumulative translation adjustment (58) (1)

On April 7, 2020, the Board of Directors approved adjustments to the current programs, triggering an additional provision amounting to US$ 311 in the second quarter of 2020, relating to the public enrolled by June 2020. On the same date, it also approved a new severance program aimed at employees who are eligible to retire under the public pension program (PAI) and, after the promulgation of the public pension reform in the second half of 2019, were unable to participate in PDV 2019 (enrollments from May 6 to July 31, 2020).

 

Recognition of the provision for expenses occur as employees enroll to the programs.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has already enrolled 10,082 and terminated 2,122 employees with the programs in force.

 

The expected impact of the provisions on the Company's cash will not be immediate in 2020, but will be diluted over the next three years, according to the expected termination date. In addition, the Company chose to disburse the severance payments in two installments, one at the time of termination and the other in July 2021 or one year after the termination, whichever is later.
