Credicard

 

On May14, 2013, Itaú Unibanco S.A. (“Itaú Unibanco”), Banco Citibank S.A. and its affiliated company Corinth HoldCo LLC (Banco Citibank S.A. and Corinth HoldCo LLC, “Citibank”) signed a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of 100% shares issued by Banco Citicard S.A. and 100% of quotas of Citifinancial Promotora de Negócios e Cobrança Ltda. for the amount of R$ 2,767 million. The implementation of the acquisition depends on the approval of the Central Bank of Brazil and CADE.

 

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

 

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

 

·Reserve for dividend equalization (created by the shareholders), limited to 40% of the value of the Company’s capital stock, for the purpose of paying dividends, including interest on shareholders’ equity, with the objective of maintaining the flow of payments to shareholders. This reserve will be allocated: (a) up to 50% of the fiscal year’s net income for the year, adjusted pursuant to Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, as amended, (b) up to 100% of the realized portion of reserves arising from revaluation of assets, recorded as retained earnings, (c) up to 100% of the amount of the adjustments from previous fiscal years, recorded as retained earnings, and (d) credits corresponding to the anticipated dividends.

 

7

 

·Reserve for working capital stock increase, limited to 30% of the value of capital, for the purpose of guaranteeing resources for operations, to be allocated up to 20% of the fiscal year’s net income, adjusted pursuant to Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

·A reserve for increases in the capital of investees, limited to 30% of the value of capital, for the purpose of guaranteeing the right of first refusal on capital increases in investees, and to be allocated up to 50% of the fiscal year’s net income, adjusted pursuant to Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Upon a proposal from the Board of Directors, amounts will be regularly capitalized from these reserves so that their aggregate balance never exceeds the limit of 95% of the capital stock. The balance of these reserves together with the legal reserve may not exceed the value of the capital stock.

 

a) Rules on the retention of earnings

 

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

 

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

 

b) Rules on the distribution of dividends

 

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

 

As resolved by the Board of Directors, interest on capital can be paid, including interest on capital paid or credited in the amount of the mandatory dividend, as provided for in Article 9, paragraph 7 of Law No. 9,249/95. Preferred shares have priority for the receipt of the non-cumulative annual minimum dividend per share.

 

Additionally, management may resolve on the distribution of additional profits whenever it deems this to be convenient for the Issuer and/or its shareholders. Such distributions do not mean that there will be a distribution of profits additional to the mandatory minimum dividend in the future.

 

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

 

On February 28, 2013, Provisional Measure No. 608 was enacted, and established that the payment of dividends and interest on capital made by financial institutions is subject to the regulations issued by the CMN. The measure is part of recent movements to implement the liquidity requirements established by Basel III standards. On March 1, 2013, the CMN issued Resolution No. 4.193, which establishes that the dividends may not be paid if the financial institution does not comply with the additional capital requirements in effect from January 1, 2016, with gradual increases until 2019.

 

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

 

8

 

c) Frequency of the distribution of dividends

 

Over the past three years, the Issuer made monthly dividend payments, based on the shareholding position on the last day of the previous month, on the first working day of the subsequent month, as well as additional payments (half yearly), for which the Board of Directors defined the base date for the shareholding position and the payment date. Regarding these half yearly payments, management verifies the existing profit, determines the amount of dividends that should be distributed as mandatory dividends (see Item “a” above), calculates the monthly amount already declared and, finally, determines the outstanding balance payable on the mandatory minimum dividend. This amount is declared as a dividend “additional” to that paid monthly.

 

The portion of the mandatory dividend that was paid in advance as interim dividends, debited from the account "Reserve for Dividend Equalization”, will be credited to the same reserve.

 

This practice has been adopted by the Issuer since 1980, and, formalized as part of the Shareholders’ Remuneration Policy (dividends and interest on capital) was approved on February 9, 2011 at a meeting of the Disclosure and Trading Committee, and subsequently made available on the Issuer’s website (www.itau-unibanco.com/ir - under Corporate Governance/Rules and Policies/Shareholder Remuneration Policy).

 

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

 

None.

ITEM 4 – RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

Note: the risks described in this Item 4.1 are not the only risks related to an investment in our securities. The risks described below are those that we consider material as at the date of this Form. There may be additional risks that we currently consider immaterial, or of which we are not aware, and any of these risks may have effects similar to those described below.

 

Accordingly, our investors and potential investors should carefully and thoroughly read this Reference Form. Our business, the results of our operations and our financial condition and prospects could be negatively affected if any of these risks materialize, and in such an event, the trading prices of our securities may fall, and our investors may lose all or part of their investment.

 

a) The Issuer

 

We are exposed to effects of the disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets and the economies in those countries where we do business, especially Brazil.

 

Beginning in late 2007, major financial institutions, including some of the largest global commercial and investment banks, and insurance companies experienced significant difficulties, especially a lack of liquidity and depreciation of financial assets. More recently, fiscal problems in Europe, such as high debt levels, impaired growth and the risk of a sovereign default, particularly in Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Portugal, increased volatility in already relatively fragile global financial markets. Concurrently, the United States has been facing fiscal difficulties, which led to the downgrade of the U.S. long-term sovereign credit rating by Standard & Poor’s on August 6, 2011. These difficulties constricted the ability of a number of major global financial institutions to engage in further lending activity, and caused losses. In addition, defaults by, and doubts about the solvency of certain financial institutions and the financial services industry generally led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by, and bankruptcies of, other institutions.

 

We are exposed to the disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets because of their effects on the financial and economic environment in the countries in which we operate, especially Brazil, such as a slowdown in the economy, an increase in the unemployment rate, a decrease in the purchasing power of consumers and the lack of credit availability. We lend primarily to Brazilian borrowers and these effects could materially and adversely affect our customers and increase our non-performing loans and, as a result, increase the risk associated with our lending activity, requiring us to make corresponding revisions to our risk management and loan loss reserve models. For example, in 2009, we experienced an increase in our non-performing loans past due more than 90 days from 3.6% of total loans as of December 31, 2008 to 5.6% as at December 31, 2009. As at December 31, 2011, our non-performing loans past due more than 90 days represented 4.8% of our total loan portfolio.

 

The global financial downturn has had significant consequences for Brazil and the other countries in which we operate, including stock, interest and credit market volatility, a general economic slowdown, and volatile exchange rates that may, directly or indirectly, materially and adversely affect the market prices of Brazilian securities and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, institutional failures and disruption of the financial markets in Brazil and the other countries in which we operate could restrict our access to the public equity and debt markets.

 

Continued or worsening disruption or volatility in the global financial markets could lead to other negative effects on the financial and economic environment in Brazil and the other countries in which we operate, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

A failure in, or breach of, our operational or security systems could temporarily interrupt our businesses, increasing our costs and causing losses.

 

Although we have high perfmance information security controls, continuing investments in infrastructure, and operations and crisis management in place, our business, financial, accounting, data processing systems or other operating systems and facilities may stop operating properly for a limited period of time or become temporarily disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors, including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, such as: electrical or telecommunications outages, breakdowns, systems failures or other events affecting third parties with whom we do business or who facilitate our business activities, including exchanges, clearing houses, financial intermediaries or vendors that provide services, events arising from local or larger-scale political or social matters and cyber attacks.

 

11

 

Temporary interruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our businesses and customers, or cyber attacks could result in customer attrition, regulatory fines, penalties or interventions, reimbursement or other compensation costs.

 

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

 

We have engaged in a number of mergers and acquisitions in the past, and may make further acquisitions in the future as part of our growth strategy in the Brazilian financial services industry. We believe that these transactions will contribute to our continued growth and competitiveness in the Brazilian banking sector.

 

Any acquisitions or mergers of companies or assets, and the integration of these companies or may assets involve certain risks, among which we would highlight those related to:

 

·Difficulties relating to the integration of new networks, information systems, personnel, financial and accounting systems, risk and other management systems, financial planning and reporting, products and customer bases into our existing business may run into difficulties, cause us to incur unexpected costs and operating expenses and place additional demands on management time

 

·Materialization of liabilities or contingencies relating to the acquired businesses

 

·Antitrust and other regulatory authorities may impose restrictions or limitations on the terms of the acquisition or merger, require the disposal of certain assets or businesses or withhold their approval for the transaction

 

·The expected operations and financial synergies and other benefits from these mergers or acquisitions may not be fully achieved.

 

If we fail to achieve the business growth opportunities, cost savings and other benefits we anticipate from these merger and acquisition transactions, or incur greater integration costs than we have estimated, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

The value of our securities and derivatives positions are subject to market fluctuations due to changes in Brazilian or international economic conditions, and may produce material losses.

 

As at December 31, 2011, investment securities represented R$ 263,661 million or 26.0% of our assets, and derivative financial instruments, which are used to hedge against risks in each of our business units, represented R$12,513 million or 1.2% of our assets, and realized and unrealized gains and losses have had and will continue to have a significant impact on our results of operations. These gains and losses, which are recorded when investments in securities are sold or are marked to market (in the case of trading securities) or when our derivative financial instruments are marked to market, may fluctuate considerably from period to period, and are sensitive to domestic and international economic conditions. If, for example, we have entered into derivatives transactions to protect against decreases in the value of the Brazilian Real or in interest rates, and the Brazilian Real increases in value or interest rates increase, we may incur financial losses. We cannot predict the amounts of realized or unrealized gains or losses for any future period, and variations from period to period have no practical analytical value in helping us to make such a prediction. Such losses could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Gains or losses on our investment portfolio may not continue to contribute to net income at levels consistent with recent periods or at all, and we may not successfully realize the appreciation or depreciation currently existing in our consolidated investment portfolio, or any portion thereof. 2

 

Exposure to Brazilian federal government debt could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Like many other Brazilian banks, we invest in debt securities of the Brazilian government. As at December 31, 2012, approximately 13.09% of our total assets and 48.09% of our securities portfolio was comprised of debt securities issued by the Brazilian government. Any failure by the Brazilian government to make prompt payments under the terms of these securities, or a significant decrease in their market value, will have a material adverse effect on us.

 

12

 

If our pricing expectations are incorrect or our reserves for future policyholder benefits and claims are inadequate, the profitability of our insurance and pension products or our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our insurance and pension plan business sets prices and establishes reserves for many of our insurance and pension products based upon actuarial or statistical estimates. The pricing of our insurance and pension products and the insurance and pension plan reserves carried to pay future policyholder benefits and claims are each based on models that include many assumptions and projections which are inherently uncertain and involve the exercise of significant judgment, including regarding the level and timing of receipts or payments of premiums, contributions, benefits, claims, expenses, interest credits, investment results, interest rates, retirement, mortality, morbidity and persistency. Although we frequently review the pricing of our insurance and pension products and the adequacy of our insurance and pension plan reserves, we cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts that we will pay for, or the timing of payment of, actual benefits, claims and expenses. It also cannot be precisely determined whether the assets supporting our policy liabilities, together with future premiums and contributions, will be sufficient to cover these benefits and claims. Significant deviations from our pricing assumptions could have a material adverse effect on the profitability of our insurance and pension plan products.

 

In addition, if we conclude that our reserves, together with future premiums, are insufficient to cover future policy benefits and claims, we would be required to increase our reserves and incur income statement charges for the period in which the determination is made, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our market, credit and operational risk management policies, procedures and methods may not be fully effective in mitigating our exposure to unidentified or unanticipated risks and our losses may exceed our allowance for loan losses.

 

Our market, credit and operational risk management policies, procedures and methods, including our statistical modeling tools, such as value at risk (“VaR”), stress testing and sensitivity analyses, may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all economic market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that we fail to identify or anticipate. Some of our quantitative tools and metrics for managing risk are based upon our use of observed historical market behavior. We apply statistical and other tools to these observations to quantify our risk exposure. These quantitative tools and metrics may fail to predict future risk exposure. This risk exposure could, for example, arise from factors which were not anticipated or correctly evaluated in our statistical models, limiting our ability to manage these risks. Our losses thus could be significantly greater than historical measures indicate. In addition, our quantified modeling does not take all risks into account. Our more qualitative approach to managing those risks could prove insufficient, exposing us to material unanticipated losses. If existing or potential customers believe our risk management to be inadequate, they may take their business elsewhere, which could harm our reputation as well as our revenue and profits.

 

Our results of operations and financial condition depend on our ability to evaluate losses associated with risks to which we are exposed, and our ability to include these risks in our pricing policies. We have estimated our allowance for loan losses according to the IFRS principles. The calculation also involves significant judgment on the part of management, which may prove to be incorrect or change in the future depending on information, as it becomes available. This could adversely affect our operating income and, consequently, our financial condition and results of operations.

 

In addition, our businesses depend on the ability to process a large number of transactions securely, efficiently and accurately. Losses may result from inadequate personnel, inadequate or failed internal control processes and systems, information system failures or breaches, or from external events that interrupt normal business operations. We also face the risk that the design of our controls and procedures for mitigating operational risk may prove to be inadequate or be circumvented.

 

13

 

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

 

Our controlling shareholder has the ability to direct our business.

 

As at December 31, 2012, IUPAR, our controlling shareholder, directly owned 51.00% of our common stock and 25.54% of our total capital stock (see “Item 8.2”). As a result, IUPAR has the power to control the company, including the power to elect and remove directors and officers and determine the outcome of any action requiring shareholder approval, including transactions with related parties, corporate reorganizations and the timing and payment of dividends. In addition, IUPAR is jointly controlled by Itaúsa, which is controlled by the Egydio de Souza Aranha family, and the former controlling shareholders of Unibanco, the Moreira Salles family. The interests of IUPAR, Itaúsa and the Egydio de Souza Aranha and Moreira Salles families may be divergent from your interests as a holder of our preferred shares and ADSs.

 

Investors in our securities do not have the same protections as they would if the majority of the members of our board of directors were independent.

 

As described in Item 8.2, IUPAR is our controlling shareholder, and therefore has the power to control the company, including the power to elect and remove directors and officers. Our current board of directors is comprised of 12 members, of which only four are independent members, in accordance with our corporate governance policy. A significant number of our directors participate in decision-making on matters in which they have greater interest than would an independent director. As a result, the interests of these directors may not at all times be the same as those of our minority stockholders. In addition, several of our directors are affiliated with IUPAR, and circumstances may arise in which the interests of IUPAR and its affiliates conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. Where these and other conflicting interests exist, our minority stockholders will be dependent on our directors exercising, in a manner fair to all of our stockholders, their fiduciary duties as members of our board of directors.

 

c) The shareholders

 

The relative volatility and illiquidity of the Brazilian securities markets may substantially limit your ability to sell the securities at the price and time you desire.

 

Investing in securities that trade in emerging markets often involves greater risk than investing in the securities of issuers in the United States or in other countries, and these investments are generally considered to be more speculative in nature. The Brazilian securities market is substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and can be more volatile than major securities markets in the United States or in other countries. There is also a significantly greater concentration in the Brazilian securities market than in major securities markets such as the United States or in other countries. The ten largest companies in terms of market capitalization represented 52.4% of the aggregate market capitalization of BM&FBovespa – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros, as of December 31, 2011. Therefore, the ability of the holders to sell the securities at the price and at the time they desire may be limited.

 

The preferred shares and ADSs generally do not have voting rights.

 

According to our bylaws, holders of preferred shares, and therefore of ADSs, are not entitled to vote at meetings of our shareholders, except in limited circumstances. In the limited circumstances where the preferred shareholders are able to vote, holders may exercise voting rights with respect to the preferred shares represented by ADSs only in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement relating to the ADSs.

 

Despite there being no provisions under Brazilian law or under our bylaws that limit ADS holders' ability to exercise their voting rights through the depositary bank with respect to the underlying preferred shares, there are practical limits to the ability of ADS holders to exercise their voting rights due to the extra procedural steps involved in communicating with these holders. For example, our preferred shareholders will either receive notice of the meetings directly from us or through the publication of a notice in Brazilian newspapers, and will be able to exercise their voting rights by either attending the meeting in person or voting by proxy. ADS holders, by comparison, will only receive notice of the meetings directly from us, if they are properly registered with our mailing list. If they are not registered with our mailing list, they will receive the notice only through the depositary bank.

 

According to the provisions of the deposit agreement, we will provide notice to the depositary bank, which will, in its turn, and to the extent practicable, mail this notice to holders along with instructions on how the ADS holder can participate in the shareholders’ meeting. To exercise their voting rights, ADS holders must instruct the depositary bank on how to vote with the shares represented by their ADSs. Because of this extra procedural step involving the depositary bank, the process for exercising voting rights is longer for ADS holders.

 

14

 

Holders of our preferred shares may not receive any dividends or interest on shareholders’ equity.

 

According to our bylaws, we must pay dividends or interest on shareholders’ equity in the amount of at least 25% of our annual net income, calculated and adjusted pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law, which may be significantly different from our net income calculated under other accounting principles. Our preferred shares grant to holders the receipt of a minimum annual dividend, non-cumulative and adjusted in cases of split or reverse split, of R$0.022 per share. For further information see Item 18.1. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, our net income may be used to absorb losses or retained, and as a result, we may not have net income available for the payment of dividends or interest on shareholders’ equity. The payment of dividends or interest on shareholders’ equity to our shareholders is, however, not mandatory in any financial year in which our Board of Directors determines that the distribution of dividends would not be compatible with our financial condition at that time.

 

We may need to increase our capital in the future, and this may dilute our ownership interest.

 

We may need to obtain additional funds in the future to implement our growth strategy. Accordingly, we may need to increase our capital by means of one or more subsequent offers of shares or securities convertible into shares. The offer of a significant number of our shares, which may not include the preemptive rights to our shareholders, pursuant to Article 172 of the Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws, may adversely affect the market price of our shares and dilute the interests of our shareholders in the company's capital.

 

d) Its subsidiaries and affiliated companies

 

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

 

e) Its suppliers

 

We are not exposed to risks related to our suppliers that could materially influence the decision to invest in our securities.

 

f) Its clients

 

Changes in the profile of our business may have a material adverse effect on our loan portfolio.

 

As at December 31, 2012, our loan and financing portfolio was R$ 366,285 million, compared to R$ 345,483 million as at December 31, 2011. Our allowance for loan losses was R$ 27,745 million, representing 7.6% of our total loan portfolio as at December 31, 2012, compared to R$25,772 million, representing 7.5% of our total loan portfolio, as at December 31, 2011. The quality of our loan portfolio is subject to changes in the profile of our business resulting from organic growth and our mergers and acquisitions activity, and is dependent on domestic and, to a lesser extent, international economic conditions. For example, in 2012, Brazilian banks faced an increase in nonperforming loans to consumers, particularly in the automobile sector. Adverse changes affecting any of the sectors to which we have significant lending exposure, political events within and outside of Brazil and the variability of economic activity may have a material adverse impact on our business and our results of operations. Furthermore, our historic loan losses may not be indicative of our future loan losses.

 

Our strategy includes efforts to significantly expand our loan portfolio as well as to increase the number of clients, particularly individuals and small and middle-market companies, that we serve. Certain financial products we offer to individuals and other clients are generally characterized by higher margins, but also by a higher risk of default. A possible increase in our loan portfolio, as well as a shift to higher margins and higher risk products, could result in increased default rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

15

 

We may incur losses in relation to counterparty exposure.

 

We face the possibility that counterparties will be unable to honor their contractual obligations. These counterparties may default on their obligations due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or for other reasons. This risk may arise, for example, from entering into reinsurance agreements or loan facilities or other credit agreements under which counterparties have obligations to make payments to us, executing currency or other trades that are not settled at the required time due to non-delivery by the counterparty or systems failures by clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries.We routinely transact with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds and other institutional clients.

 

g) Economic sectors in which the issuer operates

 

Risks relating to Brazil

 

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, influence over the Brazilian economy. This influence, as well as Brazilian political and economic conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and, as a consequence, on the market prices of our preferred shares.

 

The Brazilian government from intervenes from time to time in the Brazilian economy and makes changes in policies and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions have previously involved, among other measures, changes in interest rates, changes in tax policies, price controls, capital control limits and restrictions on selected imports and, prior to the current floating exchange rate regime, currency devaluations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by changes in policies or regulations relating to the following:

 

·Interest rates

 

·Reserve requirements

 

·Capital requirements

 

·Liquidity of capital, financial and credit markets

 

·General economic growth, inflation and currency fluctuations

 

·Tax and regulatory policies

 

·Restrictions on remittances abroad and other exchange controls

 

·Increases in unemployment rates, decreases in wage and income levels and other factors that influence our customers’ ability to meet their obligations with us

 

·Other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments within and outside Brazil that affect the country.

 

As a bank in Brazil, the vast majority of our income, expenses, assets and liabilities is directly tied to interest rates. Therefore, our results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by inflation, interest rate fluctuations and related government monetary policies, all of which may have a material adverse effect on the growth of the Brazilian economy and on us, including our loan portfolio, cost of funding and income from credit operations.

 

In addition, any change in administration may result in changes in government policy that may affect us. Uncertainty over whether future Brazilian governments will implement changes in policies or regulations affecting these and other factors may contribute to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets, and in the prices of the securities of Brazilian issuers. This in turn may have a material adverse effect on us and, therefore, on the market value of our preferred shares.

 

16

 

Inflation and fluctuations in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Inflation and interest rate volatility have in the past caused material adverse effects on the Brazilian economy. While the Brazilian government has been able to keep inflation close to target levels since the introduction of inflation targets in 1999, we cannot offer any assurances that it will continue to be able to do so. Inflation, especially sudden increases in inflation, usually result in a loss of purchasing power. Also prolonged periods of high inflation provoke distortions in the allocation of resources. From 2006 to 2012, the average annual inflation rate was 5.2%. The expected inflation for 2013, as surveyed by the Central Bank, is 5.48%.

 

Measures to combat historically high rates of inflation have included tight monetary policies with high interest rates, resulting in restrictions on credit and short-term liquidity. Between 2006 and 2012, the base interest rate established by the Central Bank, which is the benchmark interest rate payable to holders of securities issued by the Brazilian government and traded through the Special Clearing and Settlement System (Sistema Especial de Liquidação e Custódia – “SELIC”) varied between 17.65% per year and 7.14% per year. Public expectations regarding possible future governmental actions in the economy, government intervention in the foreign exchange market and the effects of the downturn in the global financial markets have caused and may continue to cause fluctuations in interest rates. If Brazil experiences fluctuations in rates of inflation in the future, our costs and net margins may be materially and adversely affected. Further, government measures to combat inflation may include tightening monetary policy, setting high interest rates which may harm our business. Increases in the SELIC rate could materially and adversely affect us by reducing demand for credit, increasing our cost of funds and increasing the risk of customer defaults. Conversely, decreases in the SELIC rate could also materially and adversely affect us by decreasing revenue on interest-earning assets and lowering our margins.

 

Exchange rate instability may have a material adverse effect on the Brazilian economy and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Brazilian currency fluctuates in relation to the U.S. Dollar and other foreign currencies. The Brazilian government has in the past implemented various economic plans and utilized a number of exchange rate regimes, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations in which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly, floating exchange rate systems, and dual exchange rates coupled with exchange controls. Since 1999, Brazil has adopted a floating exchange rate system with interventions by the Central Bank in buying or selling foreign currency. From time to time, the exchange rate between the Real and the U.S. Dollar and other currencies has fluctuated significantly. For example, the Real depreciated by 15.7%, 34.3% and 24.2% and 11.2% against the U.S. Dollar in 2001, 2002 and 2008 and 2011, respectively, and appreciated 22.3%, 8.8%, 13.4%, 9.5%, 20.7%, 34.2% and 4.5% against the U.S. Dollar in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In 2012, the Real depreciated 8.2% against the U.S. Dollar from an exchange rate of R$ 1.88 per US$ 1.00 as at December 31, 2011 to an exchange rate of R$ 2.04 per US$ 1.00 as at December 31, 2012. The average exchange rate in 2012 was R$ 1.96 per US$ 1.00 compared to an average exchange rate of R$ 1.67 per US$ 1.00 in 2011. Recent interventions of the Brazilian government to keep the exchange rate stable may not have had the expected effect, and could increase the volatility of said rate, which in turn could affect our income.

 

Some of our assets and liabilities are denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies, especially the U.S. Dollar. As at December 31, 2012, 12.87% of our total liabilities and 11.5% of our total assets were denominated in, or indexed to, a foreign currency. As at December 31, 2012, our material foreign investments were economically hedged in order to mitigate the effects of foreign exchange volatility, including the potential tax impact of such investments. However, there can be no assurance that these hedging strategies will remain in place or will offset these effects as intended. Therefore, a depreciation of the Real could have several adverse effects on us, including (i) losses on our liabilities denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, (ii) impairment of our ability to pay Dollar-denominated or Dollar-indexed liabilities by making it more costly for us to obtain the foreign currency required to pay these obligations, (iii) impairment of the ability of our borrowers to repay Dollar-denominated or Dollar-indexed liabilities to us, and (iv) negatively affecting the market prices of our securities portfolio. Conversely, an appreciation of the Brazilian currency could cause us to incur losses on our assets denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies. Therefore, depending on the circumstances, either a depreciation or appreciation of the Real could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and, therefore, the market prices of our preferred shares and ADSs.

 

17

 

Infrastructure and workforce deficiencies in Brazil may impact economic growth and have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our performance is dependent on the overall health of the Brazilian economy. While Brazil has experienced economic growth in recent years, the rate of growth decreased in 2011 and 2012.Continued growth could be limited by inadequate infrastructure, including potential energy shortages and a deficient transportation sector, or by a lack of qualified work force, which could contribute to low levels of productivity and efficiency. Depending on intensity and duration, these factors could lead to employment volatility, and more generally to lower income and consumption levels, which could limit our growth, result in increased default rates and ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Developments and the perception of risk of other countries may adversely affect the Brazilian economy and the market prices of Brazilian securities.

 

Economic and market conditions in other countries, including the United States, the European Union and emerging markets may affect to varying degrees the market value of the securities of Brazilian issuers. Although economic conditions in these countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Brazil, investors’ reactions to developments in these countries may have a material adverse effect on the market value of the securities of Brazilian issuers, the availability of credit in Brazil and the amount of foreign investment in Brazil. Crises in the European Union, the United States and emerging market countries may diminish investor interest in the securities of Brazilian issuers, including Itaú Unibanco Holding. This could materially and adversely affect the market prices of our securities, and could also make it more difficult for us to access capital markets and finance our operations in the future on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Banks located in countries considered to be emerging markets may be particularly susceptible to disruptions and reductions in the availability of credit or increases in financing costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition. In addition, the availability of credit to entities that operate within emerging markets is significantly influenced by levels of investor confidence in these markets as a whole, and any factor that impacts market confidence (for example, a downgrade of credit ratings or State or Central Bank intervention in any market) could materially and adversely affect the price or availability of funding for entities within any of these markets.

 

The increasingly competitive environment and consolidations within the Brazilian banking industry may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

The markets for financial and banking services in Brazil are highly competitive. We face significant competition from other large Brazilian and international banks, including Brazilian public banks. Competition has increased as a result of recent consolidations among financial institutions in Brazil, and as a result of new regulations from the CMN that facilitate the customer’s ability to switch their business between banks. The increased competition may materially and adversely affect us by, among other things, limiting our ability to retain our existing consumer base, increase our customer base or expand our operations, reducing our profit margins on banking and other services and products we offer, and limiting investment opportunities.

 

h) Regulation of the sectors in which the Issuer operates

 

Changes in the applicable laws and regulation may have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Brazilian banks, including us, are subject to extensive and continuous regulatory review by the Brazilian government, principally by the Central Bank. We have no control over the applicable laws and government regulations, which govern all aspects of our operations, including regulations that impose:

 

·Minimum capital requirements

 

·Reserve and compulsory deposit requirements

 

·Restrictions on credit card activities

 

·Minimum levels for federal housing and rural sector lending

 

18

 

·Funding restrictions

 

·Lending limits, earmarked lending and other credit restrictions

 

·Limits on investments in fixed assets

 

·Corporate governance requirements

 

·Limitations on the charging of commission and fees by financial institutions for services to retail clients and the amount of interest financial institutions can charge

 

·Accounting and statistical requirements

 

·Other requirements or limitations in the context of the global financial crisis.

 

The regulatory structure governing Brazilian financial institutions, including banks, broker-dealers, leasing companies and Brazilian insurance companies is continuously evolving. Disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets resulting in liquidity problems at major international financial institutions could lead the Brazilian government to change the laws and regulations applicable to Brazilian financial institutions based on these international developments.

 

In response to the global financial crisis which began in late 2007, national and intergovernmental regulatory entities, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, proposed reforms to prevent the recurrence of a similar crisis, including the Basel III framework, which creates new higher minimum regulatory capital requirements. In February 2011, the Central Bank issued preliminary guidance and an estimated timeline for the implementation of the Basel III framework in Brazil. In addition, on March 1, 2013 and March 4, 2013, the Central Bank issued initial rules to implement the Basel III framework in Brazil. Based on our current regulatory capital ratios, as well as conservative assumptions regarding expected returns and asset growth, we do not anticipate that additional regulatory capital will be required to support our operations in the near future. However, depending on the effects of the rules that will complete the implementation of the Basel III framework on Brazilian banks and particularly on our operations, we may need to reassess our ongoing funding strategy for regulatory capital.

 

Moreover, there are several proposed bills under consideration in the Brazilian congress that, if signed into law as currently drafted, could adversely affect us. For example, a proposed law to benefit insolvent individual borrowers would allow the courts to alter the terms and conditions of credit agreements in certain situations. In addition, another proposed bill to amend the rules of civil procedures could have the effect of making recovery more difficult and appealing unfavorable judicial decisions with the higher courts more burdensome.

 

We also have operations in countries outside of Brazil, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Uruguay and the United States. Changes in laws or regulations in the countries in which we operate, or the adoption of new laws, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in the United States, and the related rulemaking, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Amendments to existing laws and regulations or the adoption of new laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to provide loans, make investments or render certain financial services.

 

Tax reforms may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

 

To maintain its fiscal policies, the Brazilian government regularly enacts reforms to tax and other assessment regimes. These reforms include the enactment of new taxes, changes in the bases of calculation or rates of assessment, including taxes applicable to the banking industry, and the occasional enactment of temporary taxes. For example, in July 2011 the Brazilian government introduced a tax on securities transactions (“IOF/Securities-Derivatives”) at a rate of 1.0% on the notional adjusted value of the financial derivatives. The effects of these changes and of any other changes that could result from the enactment of additional taxation, cannot be quantified. These changes, however, may reduce our volume of operations, increase our costs or limit our profitability.

 

19

 

Future changes in tax policy that may affect financial operations include the creation of new taxes. Until 2007, certain financial transactions were subject to a provisional contribution on financial transactions (Contribuição Provisória sobre a Movimentação ou Transmissão de Valores e de Créditos e Direitos de Natureza Financeira or “CPMF”). However, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the CPMF, or similar taxes, will be reintroduced in the future. Also, the Brazilian Congress may discuss broad tax reforms in Brazil to improve the efficiency of the allocation of economic resources, as proposed by the executive branch of the Brazilian federal government. Major tax reforms in Brazil have been discussed over the last few years, but we cannot predict whether such tax reforms will be implemented in the future. The effects of these changes, if enacted, and any other changes that could result from the enactment of additional tax reforms, cannot be quantified.

 

Increases in reserve and compulsory deposit requirements may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Central Bank has periodically changed the levels of reserves and compulsory deposits that financial institutions in Brazil are required to maintain with the Central Bank. The Central Bank may increase the reserve and compulsory deposit requirements in the future, or impose new requirements.

 

Increases in reserve and compulsory deposit requirements reduce our available liquidity to make loans and other investments and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The compulsory deposits generally do not yield the same returns as other investments and deposits, because a portion of compulsory deposits:

 

·Do not bear interest
·Must be held in Brazilian federal government securities
·Must be used to finance government programs, including a federal housing program and rural sector subsidies.

 

As at December 31, 2012, we had R$57,253 million in interest-bearing compulsory deposits, and R$ 6,448 million in non-interest-bearing compulsory deposits.

 

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

 

The Central Bank treats us and our subsidiaries and affiliates as a single financial institution for regulatory purposes. While our consolidated capital base provides financial strength and flexibility to our subsidiaries and affiliates, the specific activities of these subsidiaries and affiliates could indirectly put our capital base at risk. In particular, any investigation or intervention by the Central Bank into the affairs of any of our subsidiaries and affiliates could have a material adverse impact on our other subsidiaries and affiliates and therefore on us.

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

e.Amounts, assets or rights involved: R$ 3,738,621,318.72 (originally claimed amount)

 

f.Main facts: The plaintiffs require indemnification for damages allegedly incurred by the State of Paraná as a result of the incorrect evaluation of tax credits in the privatization process of Banco Banestado S.A.

The proceedings were challenged in court based on the claim that the tax credits were properly evaluated, and the case is awaiting the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, where the matter is being considered as an originary lawsuit. It should be noted that, as set forth by the law, the privatization of Banestado was carried out through an invitation to bid.

f.Main facts: This is a Brazilian Class Action involving aspects of Banerj's privatization process. The so-called "B Account" (an escrow account) was set up by means of a bank loan between Caixa Econômica Federal and the State of Rio de Janeiro amounting to R$942,399,095.28. The purpose of this account was to ensure the refund to the purchaser of Banerj, awarded in lawsuits filed based on events that took place before the privatization closing date. In this proceeding, the Federal Public Prosecution Office requires the partial anullment of the agreement that authorized the transfer of the said amount to the “B Account”, as well as the joint obligation of the defendants to refund amounts unduly withdrawn, by allegedly unlawful procedures adopted for the settlement of labor claims filed by Banerj’s former employees. The case was dismissed, recognizing the legality of the establishment of the “B Account” and the agreements signed. Decision handed down by the TRF confirmed the invalidity ruled. Legal time for the filing of a special appeal is counting.

f.Main facts: This is a Brazilian Class Action based on alleged administrative improbity, involving aspects of Banerj’s privatization process, related to the setup and use of the so-called “B Account”. In this proceeding, the plaintiffs claim that there was an undue withdrawal of funds deposited in the “B Account” through allegedly unlawful procedures adopted in relation to labor claims filed by Banerj’s former employees (i.e. the non-filing of the applicable appeals), for which reason they ask that any withdrawal from the “B Account” be previously submitted to the Finance Secretary of the State of Rio de Janeiro for approval, and assert the joint obligation of the defendants to refund the amounts unduly withdrawn and for sentencing under the penalties set forth in the Brazilian Improbity Law (Law n.º 8,429/1992), due to the administrative improbity of the individuals charged. The case was dismissed, recognizing the legality of the establishment of the “B Account” and the settlements signed. The decision handed down by the TRF confirmed the ruled invalidity.

The Issuer does not have any repetitive or related legal, administrative or arbitration proceedings that are collectively relevant.

 

We present below a description of the proceedings of this nature affecting the Issuer's financial subsidiaries.

 

Litigation Arising from Government Monetary Stabilization Plans

 

From 1986 to 1994, the Brazilian federal government implemented several consecutive monetary stabilization plans, better known as Cruzado, Bresser, Verão, Collor I, Collor II and Real, to combat the high and chronic inflation which jeopardized Brazil’s stability for many years.

 

In order to implement these plans, the Brazilian federal government enacted several laws based on its power to regulate the monetary and financial systems, as granted by the Brazilian federal constitution.

 

These laws, however, started to be questioned by the holders of savings accounts at that time. They claimed alleged differences in monetary corrections in the savings account indexes, arising from changes established by these plans.

 

Individual claims

 

The Bank is a party to collective and repeated individual proceedings related to the monetary stabilization plans. Provisions have been recognized for these claims.

 

Class actions

 

The Bank is also a party to Brazilian Class Actions proceedings regarding the same issue, filed by the Public Prosecution Office and by consumer protection associations.

 

A provision is recognized for each new individual claim as it arises.

 

Controversial case law

 

There is controversy regarding the case law of the Brazilian Supreme Court arising from the fact that a different treatment from that given to savings accounts has been given to similar economic phenomena. In the case of investments in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and corrections applied to agreements in general, the established case law of the Brazilian Supreme Court has been in favor of the constitutionality of the laws governing the monetary stabilization plans. Due to this contradiction, the Confederação Nacional do Sistema Financeiro (“CONSIF”) filed a special proceeding with the Federal Supreme Court (Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental nº 165, or “ADPF 165”), in which the Central Bank filed an amicus brief, arguing the that holders of savings accounts did not incur actual damages, and that the monetary stabilization plans applicable to savings accounts were in accordance with the federal constitution.

 

Mainly for this reason, the Bank believes in the legality of ADPF 165, and its actions were merely complying with the legal rules that established the monetary stabilization plans, strictly following the determinations of the National Monetary Council and the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

32

 

Other civil claims

 

In addition to litigation arising from government monetary stabilization plans, we are defendants in numerous civil lawsuits arising from different indemnity claims for losses, suffering and property damage, and claims resulting from the ordinary course of our business related to, for example, the contesting of bills, bounced checks and the inclusion of information in the credit protection registry.

 

As at December 31, 2012, the total amount of provisions related to civil litigation was R$3,732 million.

 

Tax Claims

 

In the tax sphere, the conglomerate has several claims in which the levying of Service Tax (ISS) is challenged, and for which a provision of R$ 412 million was recorded at December 31, 2012. The discussions address the following legal questions:

 

ISS leasing – place of service provision/calculation basis

 

Companies that carry out leasing operations within the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate pay ISS (tax on services) to the municipality where the service provider is located, specifically, assessment and approval of credit and monitoring of agreements, pursuant to the current tax rules and regulations.

 

Several Itaú Unibanco conglomerate companies were assessed and became parties to execution proceedings due to the non-payment of ISS on lease operations in 300 other municipalities where the leased asset is chosen and handed over to the lessee. The calculation basis used in the tax assessment is usually higher than the consideration for the lease. The place where the service is provided and the calculation basis are challenged in these claims.

 

The matter was found in favor of the banks by the STJ under the procedures for the settlement of repetitive appeals. Once the leading case is judged, the decision will be applicable to all similar cases pending rulings by the STJ or other lower courts.

 

Pursuant to CVM Resolution No. 489/2005, no provision was recorded, considering the remote chances of losing these cases as a result of the STJ’s decision in favor of taxpayers, as indicated in the previous paragraph.

 

ISS financial activity

 

The financial institutions of the Itaú Unibanco conglomerate pay ISS on income resulting from the effective provision of services, such as checking account opening fees and credit card management fees. On the other hand, they are assessed and become parties to tax foreclosures collecting payment of the municipal tax on other income, that is typical of financial activity, such as income from financial operations. The conglomerate believes that the assessed income should not be characterized as arising from a service provision as it is not included in the list of taxed services attached to Supplementary Law No. 116/03, and therefore the collection of ISS is illegal.

 

Labor Claims

 

The Issuer did not identify any labor claims in progress as at December 31, 2012 as being significant in terms of the matters or amounts involved. The same was true regarding its subsidiary companies.

 

4.7. Describe other relevant contingencies that are not included in the previous items

 

We refer to Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2012 already published, which shows that there are provisions for tax contingencies and legal obligations totaling R$ 10,432,925 thousand (R$ 2,820,311 thousand for contingencies and R$ 7,612,614 thousand for legal obligations), and for civil contingencies amounting to R$ 3,731,588 thousand, while for labor proceedings the total amount is R$4,852,246 thousand and for other contingencies the total amount is R$ 192,303 thousand.

 

33

 

The main taxes thesis which are subject to provisions are as follow:

 

      R$ thousand 
Tax  Issue  Amount 
PIS/COFINS  Billing vs. Gross Revenue: we claim that these taxes should be levied only on revenue arising from sales of goods and services, or even the levying of PIS Repique (5% of income tax due), instead of total gross revenue, alleging the unconstitutionality of paragraph 1, Article 3, of Law No. 9,718/98.   3,493,249 
CSLL  Isonomy: we claim that this tax should be levied at the regular rate of 9%, instead of the increased CSLL rate for financial and insurance companies of 15%, alleging the unconstitutionality of Article 41 of Law No. 11,727/08.   1,974,055 
IRPJ/CSLL  Taxation of Income Earned Abroad: we claim the exemption of positive results of equity in earnings from investments abroad.   515,616 
PIS  Anteriority over Ninety Days and Non-retroactivity: we claim the rejection of Constitutional Amendments No. 10/96 and 17/97 in view of the anteriority and non-retroactivity principles, with regard to payments pursuant to Supplementary Law No. 07/70.   382,801 

 

In addition to the balances provided for, Note 12 to our audited financial statements states the balances of civil contingencies evaluated as possible losses amounting to R$ 1,659,612 thousand, and tax contingencies evaluated as possible losses with a total amount of R$ 8,395,270 thousand, which is explained by the main described below.

 

Main Possible Loss Theses - Tax Contingencies
      R$ thousand 
Tax  Issue  Amount 
INSS  Non-wage amounts: we are defending the non-levying of this tax on these amounts, mainly profit-sharing, income, transportation vouchers and flat bonuses.   1,400,633 
IRPJ/CSLL/PIS/COFINS  Rejection of the Offset Request: the liquidity and certainty of the offset credit are being analyzed   1,355,310 
IRPJ/CSLL  Interest on capital: we are defending the deductibility of interest on capital declared to shareholders based on the Brazilian long-term interest rate (“TJLP”) levied on the shareholders’ interest for the year, and for prior years   902,731 
IRPJ/CSLL  Losses on the Receipt of Credits and Discounts Granted in Credit Renegotiations: we are defending their deduction as necessary operating expenses, intrinsic to the financial activity.   454,270 
ISS  Banking Activities: we understand that the banking activities are not mixed up with services and/or that they are not mentioned in Supplementary Law No. 116/03 or in Decree-Law No. 406/68.   391,538 
IRPJ/CSLL  Deduction – Spread: we are defending the deductibility of spreads on the acquisition of investments with expected future profitability.   370,311 
IRPJ/CSLL  Profits available abroad: we are defending the application of the Brazilian tax rules (actual profit) and the unavailability of profits as a mere transfer of capital among the Holding’s investees.   328,973 

 

There are no other relevant contingencies in the case of the Issuer.

ITEM 5 – MARKET RISKS

 

5.1. Describe, on a quantitative and qualitative basis, the main market risks to which the Issuer is exposed, including those relating to foreign exchange risks and interest:

 

The market risk controls implementedt by Itaú Unibanco cover all of the financial instruments contained in all of the portfolios of the companies controlled by Itaú Unibanco Holding.

 

Market risk is the possibility of losses resulting from fluctuations in the market values of positions held by a financial institution, including the risks of transactions subject to variations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, equities, price indexes and commodities prices, among others.

 

Market risk management is the process by which an institution plans, monitors and controls the risks of variations in the market values of financial instruments, aiming at the optimization of the risk-return ratio through adequate limit structures, models and management tools.

 

The market risk measure breaks down transactions into a trading portfolio and banking portfolio, according to the criteria set forth in the Basel Accords, as amended, BACEN Circular 3,354 of June 27, 2007, and Resolution 3,464.

 

The trading portfolio consists of all transactions, including derivatives, held with the intent to trade in the short term or to hedge other financial instruments of this portfolio, and that have no restrictions on their trading. They are intended to obtain profits from changes in actual or expected prices in the short term, or from arbitrage opportunities.

 

The banking portfolio is composed of transactions that are not classified in the trading portfolio. Treasury transactions in the banking portfolio are carried out together with the effective management of the financial risks inherent in the group’s overall balance sheet, and are held without the intent to trade in the short term. This portfolio may include derivatives.

 

The market risk exposure inherent in various financial instruments, including derivatives, is broken down into several risk factors. Market risk factors are primary components of price formation. The main risk factors measured by Itaú Unibanco are as follow:

 

·Interest rates: risk of losses on transactions subject to interest rates variations, including:

 

-Fixed income interest rates denominated in Reais

 

-Coupon rates linked to certain interest rates.

 

·Foreign exchange linked interest rates: risk of losses in transactions subject to the currency coupon rate

 

·Foreign exchange rates: risk of losses on transactions subject to foreign exchange rate variations

 

·Price indices: risk of losses in transactions subject to the variations of price index interest rates

 

·Shares: risk of losses in transactions subject to changes in equity prices

 

·Commodities: risk of losses in transactions subject to variation in commodities prices

 

Market risk is analyzed based on the following metrics:

 

·Value at Risk (“VaR”): statistical metric that quantifies the maximum expected potential economic losses in normal market conditions, considering a given holding period and confidence interval

 

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

 

·Stop Loss Alert: additional stress scenario in which the results are added to the potential maximum losses in bullish and bearish scenarios

 

36

 

·Concentration: cumulative exposure of a given asset or risk factor calculated at market value (mark-to-market or “MTM”)

 

In addition to the risk metrics described above, sensitivity and loss control measures are also analyzed. They include:

 

·Gap analysis: cumulative exposure of cash flow by risk factor allocated at their market value at their maturity dates

 

·Sensitivity (DV01 – Delta Variation): impact on the market value of cash flow when a 1.0 basis point change is applied to current interest rates or indexing rate

 

·Sensitivities to Various Risk Factors (Greek): partial derivatives of a portfolio of options on the prices of the underlying assets, on the implicit volatilities, interest rates and timing

 

·Stop Loss: maximum loss that a portfolio classified as a trading portfolio is authorized to reach.

 

VaR - Consolidated Itaú Unibanco

 

The internal VaR model used by the Issuer considers a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence level. Volatilities and correlations are estimated based on a methodology of volatility weighting that confers higher weight to more recent information.

 

The table below shows the Consolidated Global VaR for the analysis of the exposure to market risk of the portfolios of Itaú Unibanco and its subsidiaries abroad, showing where there are higher concentrations of market risk (subsidiaries abroad: Banco Itaú BBA International S.A., Banco Itaú Argentina S.A., Banco Itaú Chile S.A., Banco Itaú Uruguay S.A. and Banco Itaú Paraguay S.A. and Itaú BBA Colombia S.A. Corporación Financiera).

 

The consolidated, maintaining a policy of conservative management and portfolio diversification, continues to operate within lower limits in relation to its capital.

Sensitivity Analysis (Trading and Banking portfolio)

 

The sensitivity analyses of the trading and banking portfolios shown in this report are an evaluation of a snapshot position of portfolio exposure, and therefore do not consider management’s quick response capacity (treasury and control areas and implement risk mitigating measures whenever a situation of high loss or risk is identified, in order to minimize the likelihood of significant losses. In addition, we would point out that the presented results do not necessarily translate into accounting results, because the study's sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risks and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by the institution:

To measure these sensitivities, the following scenarios are used:

 

·Scenario I: Addition of 1 basis point to the fixed-rate curve, currency coupon, inflation and interest rate indices, and 1 percentage point in currency and share prices, which is based on market information (BM&F BOVESPA, Anbima, etc.).

 

·Scenario II: Shocks at 25 basis points on fixed-rate curves, currency coupon, inflation and interest rate indices, and 25 basis points in currency and share prices, for both growth and contraction, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

·Scenario III: Shocks at 50 basis points in fixed-rate curves, currency coupon, inflation and interest rate indices, and 50 basis points in currency and share prices, for both growth and contraction, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

5.2. Describe the market risk management policy adopted by the issuer, its objectives, strategies and instruments, indicating:

 

The Issuer takes decisions based on analytical tools that enable it to make profitable transactions in safety, aiming at optimizing the risk-return ratio.

 

The risk management of the Issuer follows the best corporate governance practices recommended by international organizations and the Basel Accords.

 

The Issuer’s market risk management rules are in line with the principles of CMN Resolution No. 3,464 of June 26, 2007, as amended, a set of principles that guide the institution’s strategy for controlling and manage market risk in all of the business units and organizational entities of Itaú Unibanco.

 

a) Risks that are intended to be hedged

 

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

 

38

 

b) Equity hedging strategy

 

The organization’s equity is managed in domestic currency, and the hedging strategy is aimed at avoiding the changes in significant market factors compromising the equity value.

 

c) Instruments used for equity hedging purposes

 

When necessary, the Issuer operates with financial derivatives in the market.

 

d) Parameters used for managing these risks

 

The risk management parameters used by the Issuer include market risk metrics such as the following: Value at Risk (VaR), VaR Stress, Control over Stop Loss and Stop Loss Alert, among others.

 

e) If the issuer carries out transactions involving financial instruments for different equity hedging purposes, and what these purposes are

 

The Issuer hedges its transactions with clients and proprietary positions, including foreign investments, with the intention of mitigating the risks arising from fluctuations in prices of significant market risk factors, and adjusting the transactions to their current exposure limits. Derivatives are the most frequently used instruments for these hedging activities. In situations in which these transactions are designated for hedge accounting, specific supporting documentation is generated, including the continuous monitoring of the hedge effectiveness (retroactively and prospectively) and other changes in the accounting process. The hedge accounting and economic procedures are governed by the institutional rules in place at Itaú Unibanco.

 

f) Organizational structure for risk management control

 

Risk Management and Capital

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding regards risk management as an essential instrument to optimize the use of its resources and to select the best business opportunities in order to maximize value creation for its shareholders. The purpose of our risk management policy is to identify the internal and external risk events that may affect the strategies of our business and support units, as well as the achievement of their goals, with a potential impact on Itaú Unibanco Holding’s results, capital, liquidity and reputation.

 

The credit, market, liquidity, operational and insurance risk controls are performed in a centralized manner by an independent risk control unit, in order to ensure that the risks faced by Itaú Unibanco Holding are managed in accordance with our policies and procedures. This independent unit is also responsible for centralizing Itaú Unibanco Holding’s capital management. This centralized control aims to provide the board and senior management with a global view of Itaú Unibanco Holding’s exposure to risks, as well as a prospective view of our capital adequacy, so as to optimize corporate decisions.

 

Our risk management procedures permeate the entire institution, and are aligned with the guidelines issued by the board and senior management, which, through the Superior Committees described below, determine the overall risk management objectives, expressed as targets and limits for each business unit. The control units, in turn, support Itaú Unibanco Holding’s management by means of monitoring procedures and risk analysis.

 

39

 

 

The Capital and Risk Management Committee (“CGRC”) advises the board on Itaú Unibanco Holding’s risk exposure and capital management. The CGRC submits reports and recommendations for the analysis of the board of directors in relation to: (i) supervision of Itaú Unibanco Holding’s risk management and control activities, for the purpose of ensuring their adequacy for the risk levels assumed and to the complexity of operations, as well as complying with regulatory requirements, (ii) review and approval of capital management policies and strategies that establish mechanisms and procedures aimed at maintaining a level of capital compatible with the risks incurred by the institution, (iii) determination of the minimum return on capital of Itaú Unibanco Holding as a whole, and of its business lines, as well as performance monitoring, (iv) supervision of incentive structures, including compensation, aimed at ensuring their alignment with risk control and value creation objectives, and (v) improvement of Itaú Unibanco Holding’s risk culture.

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the quality and integrity of our internal controls and risk management systems, among other functions.

 

The Superior Risk Policies Committee (“CSRisc”) is the superior risk and capital management body at the executive level, responsible for (i) establishing guidelines consistent with our risk management policies, (ii) approving management-level risk policies with a high impact on capital positions, (iii) defining decision authority levels for the lower level committees, (iv) setting limits combined by type of risk, (v) ensuring consistency of risk and capital management across the Itaú Unibanco Group, (vi) monitoring the process for implementing risk and capital management tools, and (vii) approving risk assessment and capital calculation methodologies.

 

In addition to the Superior Risk Policies Committee (CSRisc), senior management oversight of risk management is performed through five committees: the Superior Institutional Treasury Committee (“CSTI”), the Superior Institutional Treasury and Liquidity Committee (“CSTIL”), the Superior Credit Committee (“CSC”), the Superior Audit and Operational Risk Management Committee (“CSAGRO”) and the Superior Risk Institutional Policies Committee (“CSNIR”).

 

The Superior Institutional Treasury Committee (CSTI) and the Superior Institutional Treasury and Liquidity Committee (CSTIL) are responsible for assessing and establishing strategies for market and liquidity risks. The CSTI establishes the exposure limits for market risk and the maximum loss limits of positions based on the limits determined by the CSRisc. The limits are monitored on a daily basis and any breaches are reported to the appropriate level. The CSTIL establishes liquidity limits based on the limits determined by CSRisc, and monitors current and future levels of liquidity in order to manage cash flow.

 

The Superior Credit Committee (CSC) is responsible for managing large corporate credit risks, including establishing corporate credit policies, coordinating the internal rules on credit limits for financing and guarantees and determining the authority levels to approve credit transactions.

 

The Superior Audit and Operational Risk Management Committee (CSAGRO) is responsible for operational risks and internal controls, including managing risks associated with our processes and businesses, setting up guidelines for internal audits and the management of operational risks, and analyzing the results from our internal controls and compliance systems.

 

The Superior Risk Institutional Policies Committee (CSNIR) is responsible for validating and approving our institutional policies on market, liquidity, credit, operational and insurance risk controls, and on capital management.

In addition to the risk management committees, the Superior Product Committee (“CSP”) approves products, operations, services and processes in Itaú Unibanco Holding, ensuring adherence to customer and unit needs, and is responsible for assessing potential risks for Itaú Unibanco Holding and its public relations. The Superior Foreign Units Committee (“CSEXT”) supervises businesses abroad and is the highest level of authority for approving initiatives, transactions, services and processes in markets where Itaú Unibanco Holding operates outside of Brazil.

 

As part of our risk control tools, Itaú Unibanco Holding manages proprietary IT systems to comply with the Central Bank’s capital reserve regulations and models. These models are based on the following elements:

 

·Economic, financial and statistical analyses, which enable the evaluation of the effects of adverse events on liquidity, credit and market positions

 

·Market risk metrics such as Value-at-Risk (VaR), losses in stress scenarios, stop loss alerts and concentration

 

·Credit risks rating tools, which assign ratings to clients based on statistical models of application and behavior scoring for retail portfolios and proprietary rating models for corporate customers. We also use credit portfolio management models to quantify and allocate economic capital, which is the capital that Itaú Unibanco Holding estimates is sufficient to cover the risks incurred

 

·Operational risks, many of which have been evaluated through the use of internal databases and statistical models that monitor the frequency and the severity of internal loss events to quantify the risks and allocate economic capital. Itaú Unibanco Holding is in the process of extending statistical and scenario-based approaches to cover all material operational risks, and

 

·Simulations of alternative forms of protection due to liquidity losses and contingency plans for crisis situations in different scenarios.

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding has processes to calculate the amount of regulatory capital, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,490. The regulatory capital to cover risks takes into consideration the following portions:

 

·PEPR: the regulatory capital portion required to cover credit risk and other asset exposure not included in the other portions

 

·PCAM: the regulatory capital portion required to cover market risk exposure related to gold and fluctuations in foreign currencies

 

·PJUR: the regulatory capital portion required to cover market risk exposure in the trading book related to interest rate fluctuation

 

·PCOM: the regulatory capital portion required to cover market risk exposure related to commodity price fluctuations

 

·PACS: the regulatory capital portion required to cover market risk exposure in the trading book related to equity price fluctuations

 

·POPR: the regulatory capital portion required to cover operational risk exposure.

 

Complementing the risk management process, we have concluded the implementation of the capital management structure, in compliance with CMN Resolution No. 3,988 of June 30, 2011.

 

The capital management process supports Itaú Unibanco Holding by means of an ongoing process involving:

 

·Monitoring our capital needs under normal and stress scenarios, considering the regulatory requirements and our board’s guidelines

 

·The planning of targets and capital requirements, taking into consideration Itaú Unibanco Holding’s strategic objectives

 

·The adoption of a prospective posture in relation to capital management.

 

41

 

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

 

The adherence of the Market Risk Control Units and management to the policies and strategies defined by the Superior Committees of the institution are periodically checked by the Internal Controls Area, subordinated to the Risk Controls Area (“ACR”).

 

The Internal Controls Area is responsible for the periodic quality evaluation of internal controls and the adherence of the processes to the guidelines issued by senior management.

 

The internal control methodology is based on the following phases:

 

1)Mapping of processes, ensuring that they:

 

Enable an understanding of the process

 

Include details of critical controls and activities

 

Are up to date.

 

2)Development of the Risk and Control Matrix, addressing:

 

The major risks of each phase

 

Controls considered adequate to mitigate risks, including monitoring compliance with the defined rules and policies.

 

3)Analysis and conducting of tests, considering whether:

 

The established tests are adequate to evaluate the effectiveness of controls

 

The documentation on the testing procedure is clear and sufficiently detailed to enable the tests to be repeated

 

The results of the tests effectively indicate the adequacy/inadequacy of the related control.

 

4)Reporting control deficiencies to the management of the related business area, for the development of action plans.

 

5)Monitoring the implementation of action plans for the correction of the identified control deficiencies.

 

5.3. State whether, in the previous year, there were significant changes in the main market risks to which the Issuer is exposed or in the risk management policies adopted

 

During 2012, Itaú Unibanco Holding’s market risk limits control structure, which was more granular and aligned with the business structure and divided the metrics into groups of risk factors for each business unit, was extended to the outside units, expanding the best control practice to all conglomerate’s treasury departments and facilitating centralized management of risk.

 

In order to continue improving risk control and monitoring practices to reflect the complexity of new products, the volume of transactions and the new regulatory requirements, the treasury risk control area, during 2012, reviewed the totality of the historical market data (prices, curves and volatility surfaces), ensuring the quality of all risk studies and monitoring. Based on this newly reviewed source data, we started the process of adding VaR to the monitoring measures through historical simulation. This is an important step forward in monitoring the market risk on Treasury positions, as it adds to the measurements already taken on a daily basis a new metric widely known and used in the market, which allows potential losses on the current portfolio to be correlated with specific past events. This new metric puts the bank in compliance with the directives issued by the Basel Committee.

 

42

 

5.4. Supply any other information that the issuer may deem relevant

 

The Issuer’s market risk management process is subject to the governance and hierarchy of Committees, and limits are specifically approved for risk management support, from aggregated risk indicators (at portfolio level) to granulated limits (at individual desk level) ensuring the effectiveness and coverage of controls. These limits are calibrated based on evaluations of projected results in balance sheets, the amount of shareholders’ equity and the risk profile of each entity, and are defined in terms of risk measurements used in the risk management process. These limits are monitored and controlled on a daily basis and results in excess of these limits are reported and discussed by the competent Committees. Risk reports, issued daily to the CEO, CRO and risk managers, are prompt, complete, accurate and, most importantly, used.

General

 

Our legal and commercial name is Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. We were incorporated on September 9, 1943. We are organized as a publicly held corporation for an unlimited period of time under the laws of Brazil. Our head offices are located at Praça Alfredo Egydio de Souza Aranha, 100, 04344-902, São Paulo, SP, Brazil and our telephone number is +55-11-2794-3547.

 

History

 

We trace our origins to 1944, when members of the Egydio de Souza Aranha family founded Banco Federal de Crédito S.A. in São Paulo. Since 1973 we have operated through Banco Itaú S.A., now Itaú Unibanco. Unibanco was founded by the Moreira Salles family in 1924, making it Brazil’s oldest non-state owned bank at the time of the Association.

 

On November 3, 2008, we announced the combination of the operations of Itaú Holding (currently Itaú Unibanco Holding) and Unibanco Holdings S.A., including its subsidiary Unibanco, and Unibanco’s subsidiaries. The result of this Association was the creation of Itaú Unibanco Holding. Since the final approval of the Association by the Central Bank on February 18, 2009 and by CADE on August 18, 2010, we have fully integrated the operations of the two banks.

 

According to Bloomberg, as at December 31, 2012, we were the largest bank in Brazil, based on market capitalization.

Our retail banking operations are present in all Brazilian states and in cities that together represented more than 85.0% of Brazil’s individual domestic consumption as at December 31, 2012.

This diversified relationship concept is interwoven by “Itaú 30 horas”, a convenience service that enables users to carry out banking transactions through ATMs, telephones, mobiles, on the internet and in branches.

 

Public Sector

 

Our public sector business operates in all areas of the public sector, including federal, state and municipal governments (in the executive, legislative and judicial branches). As at December 31, 2012, we had 3,833 public sector customers. To service these customers, we use platforms that are separate from the retail banking branches, with teams of specially trained managers who offer customized solutions in tax collection, foreign exchange services, administration of public agency assets, payments to suppliers, payroll for civil and military servants and retirement. Based on these platforms, we have a significant amount of business with public sector clients, particularly in those Brazilian states where we acquired previously state-owned financial institutions.

 

Itaú Personnalité

Credit Cards and Commercial Agreements

 

We are the leading company in the Brazilian credit card market, based on transaction volume as at December 31, 2012. Our subsidiaries, Banco Itaucard and Hipercard Banco Múltiplo S.A. (“Hipercard”), offer a wide range of products to 33.3 million credit card accounts as at December 31, 2012, including Itaú Unibanco’s current account holders and non-account holders and also to clients from business partnerships and joint ventures.

We have developed a strong presence in the consumer finance sector through our strategic alliances and commercial agreements with leading retailers in Brazil. Since 2001, when we established the first partnership, these alliances have been supporting our credit card and consumer finance business through several products, such as co-branded credit cards, private label cards, personal loans and insurance.

 

In August 2012, we launched a new credit card, Itaucard 2.0, a new product in the Brazilian market with an interest rate structure more similar to international markets, including lower rates which accrue from the date of purchase instead of the invoice due date, and with a maximum monthly limit of 5.99%. New customers receive the new card, and existing customers can also receive Itaucard 2.0 with the option of going back to their previous credit card. In addition, monthly credit card interest rates for accountholders and non-accountholders are less than 10.0%.

 

Our main challenges in the credit card business are to continually improve our portfolio profitability and manage the quality of our assets. To this end, our credit card division focuses on the development of new products, assessment of our partnerships, control of the credit quality of our portfolio and more efficient cost management.

 

Real Estate Financing

 

As at December 31, 2012, we had approximately R$26,135 million in outstanding real estate loans, already considering the sale of R$389 million of our mortgage portfolio for the Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviço (“FGTS”), the Brazilian social security fund.

 

Given our expectations of growth over the next several years in the mortgage market in Brazil, we are investing in the operational platform in order to reduce costs and improve quality for our customers. We are also developing our distribution channels for mortgage loans by focusing on our branch network and developing our relationships with real estate brokers. We have partnerships with two of the largest real estate brokers in Brazil: LPS Brasil Consultoria de Imóveis S.A. and Coelho da Fonseca Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda. These two long-term partnerships provide us with exclusive real estate financing origination at a large number of locations throughout Brazil.

 

According to Brazilian regulations, financial institutions are required to allocate at least 65.0% of their savings accounts balances to fund mortgage financing, of which 80.0% must be used to finance properties with values lower than R$500,000 and must have annual interest rates lower than 12.0%.

 

Payroll Loans

 

A payroll loan is a credit transaction with fixed installments directly discounted from the customer’s payroll. Through the BMG Association, which was established in July 2012 and which has been operational since December 2012, we aim to achieve a leading position in the offering, distribution and sale of payroll loans in Brazil, in line with our strategy of expanding our activities with businesses with historically lower spreads and losses. The BMG Association was structured as a new business, with Itaú Unibanco holding 70.0% of the capital stock of the BMG Association and Banco BMG holding the remaining 30.0%. Payroll loans granted to Itaú Unibanco’s customers through Itaú Unibanco’s branches and other exclusive Itaú Unibanco channels will remain separate from the operations of the joint venture.

Corporate Social Responsibility

 

The Itaú Social Excellence Fund (Fundo Itaú Excelência Social or “FIES”), launched in 2004, is a socially responsible investment fund. It invests in the shares of companies with superior corporate social responsibility practices with the goal of achieving higher long-term returns than those offered by the main Brazilian financial market indices. In addition to analyzing the risks and returns of companies, fund managers take into account three fundamental criteria relating to companies: corporate social activities, environmental protection aspects and good corporate governance practices.

 

In addition, every year the fund manager donates 50.0% of FIES’s accumulated asset management fees to social projects in the following categories: environmental education, employment education and childhood education. The projects are selected by the FIES Advisory Board, which is comprised of market leaders and sustainability specialists. Since its launch in 2004, FIES has donated approximately R$20 million to social projects from 116 NGOs, which have supported approximately 22,000 children and approximately 2,000 educators.

Insurance, Private Retirement and Capitalization Products

 

Insurance

 

As at December 31, 2012, according to SUSEP, we were one of the leading providers of insurance in Brazil based on aggregate insurance premiums, including our indirect 30% share in Porto Seguro, excluding health insurance and VGBL (a private retirement plan providing annuity benefits). For regulatory purposes VGBL is considered life insurance. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our insurance premiums totaled approximately R$9,246 million (including R$2,518 million from our 30% share in Porto Seguro).

 

Our main lines of insurance are (i) life and casualty (excluding VGBL; see “— Private Retirement Plans”), (ii) extended warranties, and (iii) property, which accounted for 31.4%, 14.8% and 16.7% of insurance premiums, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our policies are sold through our banking operations, independent local brokers, multinational brokers and other channels. We reinsure a portion of the risks we underwrite, particularly large marine property and casualty risks that exceed the retention limits we have established within regulatory limits.

 

Risks that exceed the retention limit must be ceded to licensed Brazilian reinsurers in accordance with Supplementary Law No. 126, published on January 15, 2007, and the SUSEP regulations, published on December 17, 2007.

 

Our strategy to increase our level of penetration in the Brazilian insurance market varies by market. In the high risk market, we intend to grow our market share through independent local brokers and multinational brokerage firms. For individuals and small and medium company markets, we focus on operations within our banking customer base to increase customer penetration. We are working on improving customer penetration in property and casualty insurance for small and medium companies. Our customer relationship management has implemented several advances and the development of specific products for different segments allows more efficient use of each marketing channel (our branches, telemarketing, Internet, ATMs and bank teller terminals).

 

Porto Seguro

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding and Porto Seguro operate under an agreement that provides for the offering and distribution, on an exclusive basis, of homeowner and automobile insurance products of Porto Seguro to customers of Itaú Unibanco Holding in Brazil and Uruguay (the “Porto Seguro Alliance”).

(“XL Capital”), such that Itaú XL was wholly owned by us and was subsequently merged with and into Itaú Seguros. In November 2010, SUSEP approved the change of Itaú XL’s corporate name to Itaú Unibanco Seguros Corporativos S.A. At that time, a separate arrangement was entered into by which Itaú Seguros provided insurance to XL Capital’s clients in Brazil and XL Capital’s Global Program clients with operations in Brazil. In March 2012 this agreement expired, in accordance with its terms.

These practices have been disseminated to other market participants through programs and partnerships with customers and international organizations such as the outreach program for Latin America.

Itaú BBA is also involved in the public review of the new version of the Equator Principles in Brazil, which is also under public review in London, Vienna and Toronto, in which banks, consultants, law firms and NGOs participated.

As at December 31, 2012, our loan portfolio of vehicle financing, leasing, consortium and lending through the National Industrial Finance Authority (Financiamento de Máquinas e Equipamentos or “FINAME”) consisted of approximately 3.6 million contracts, of which approximately 68% were non–account holder customers. This loan portfolio reached R$56,094 million as at December 31, 2012, representing a market share in Brazil of approximately 26.9%, from R$64,871 million in 2011.

 

The vehicle financing sector in Brazil is dominated by banks and finance companies that are affiliated with vehicle manufacturers. According to ABEL, the Brazilian association of leasing companies, we were the largest leasing company in Brazil in terms of the present value of these operations as at December 31, 2012.

 

We finance vehicles through 12,847 dealers as at December 31, 2012. Sales are made through computer terminals installed in the dealerships that are connected to our computer network through the Internet. Each vehicle financing application is reviewed based on credit scoring and dealer scoring systems. Applications with high credit scores are subject to electronic validation according to our credit policy and by credit bureaus and, upon verification, are automatically approved. Approximately 93.4% of our credit approvals in 2012 were automatically approved, because our scoring models permit pre-approvals for our customers, which provide us with a very efficient tool and high credit approval performance.

 

Due to an increase in our non-performing loan ratio of vehicle loans in 2012, which followed the general trends observed in the Brazilian financial market, we adopted stricter requirements for granting loans, including term reduction and an increased downpayment policy, in addition to classifying customers into groups based on their level of indebtedness.

Itaú Unibanco Acquirer Business (Redecard & Hipercard)

 

Redecard is one of the two largest multi-brand acquirers of credit, debit and benefit card transactions in Brazil. Its activities include merchant acquiring, capturing, transmission, processing and settlement of credit and debit card transactions, prepayment of receivables to merchants (resulting from sales made with credit cards), rental of point-of-sale (“POS”) terminals, check verification through POS terminals, and the capture and transmission of transactions using coupons, private-label cards and loyalty programs. Once we held 50.0% plus one share of Redecard’s capital stock starting on March 30, 2009, Redecard became a subsidiary of Itaú Unibanco and its results were presented on a consolidated basis in our financial statements. As part of a public tender offer aimed at cancelling Redecard’s authorization as a publicly-held company registered with the CVM, which was completed on September 24, 2012, and as a result of the auction, we acquired additional shares of Redecard, representing 44.4% of Redecard’s share capital. On October 18, 2012, Redecard’s registration as a publicly held company was cancelled. As at December 31, 2012, we held, through affiliates, 100.0% of Redecard’s shares, as a result of subsequent purchases.

 

In May 2010, Hipercard, also a subsidiary of Itaú Unibanco, entered into an agreement with Redecard, pursuant to which, beginning in the second quarter of 2010, Redecard started acquiring Hipercard transactions and Hipercard had access to Redecard’s nationwide infrastructure and network, which improved the efficiency and speed of Hipercard’s merchant affiliations.

 

In 2012, Redecard and Hipercard’s acquirer service revenue totaled R$ 4,003 million, representing an increase of 9.8% from 2011 due to the capture in 2012 of R$277,618 million in transactions with credit cards and debit cards, an increase of 10.1% from 2011. The number of transactions captured and processed reached 3,307 million, representing an increase of 8.7% from 2011. In December 2012, we had 1.4 million installed POS terminals throughout Brazil.

Itau BBA International

 

In order to consolidate and expand our operations in Europe, we decided to transfer the central administration and registered offices of Itau BBA International, then Banco Itaú BBA International, S.A., a Portuguese credit institution authorized and regulated by the Central Bank of Portugal (“Banco Itaú BBA International”), from Lisbon to London by means of a cross-border merger (the “Merger”) of Banco Itaú BBA International into Itau BBA International Limited (“Itau BBA International”), an English credit institution authorized and regulated by the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority. On January 10, 2013, the Companies Court of the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, issued an order for the completion of the Merger. The Merger had effect from February 1, 2013, on which date the assets and liabilities of Banco Itaú BBA International were transferred by operation of law to Itau BBA International and Banco Itaú BBA International ceased to exist as a separate legal entity. These initiatives are aimed at enabling Itau BBA International to improve its performance and sources of funding, expand its customer base, strengthen its position as an international platform for the group, achieve greater diversification of risk and increase profitability indicators.

 

Itau BBA International is focused mainly on two lines of business:

 

·Corporate & Investment Banking — This segment supports the financial needs of companies with international presence and operations and is an important player in the segment of international financial operations associated with trading finance and investment relations between Latin America and Europe. The various services provided include the origination of structured financing and risk hedging operations, including exchange rate and interest rate derivatives, particularly involving the European parent corporations of companies in Latin America, the financing of exports among Itaú Unibanco’s best corporate clients and European companies, advisory and financing services to European companies investing in Latin America, and also to Latin American companies undergoing the internationalization process. This segment also includes all of the activities conducted by Itaú Unibanco Group in the financial, capital and derivatives markets, both to meet the need for financing the other activities of Itaú Unibanco Group and to develop financial intermediation activities and the management of its assets. These activities involve funding and applications in interbank markets, the issue of debt securities and structured funding products, intermediation (creation and distribution) of debt securities for clients, particularly large companies and groups, clients of Itaú Unibanco Group, investment and trading securities, derivatives and structured products, with institutional investors and corporate clients.

·Private Banking — The international Private Banking business is conducted by Banco Itaú Europa Luxembourg S.A., Banco Itaú Europa International, Itaú Bank & Trust Bahamas Ltd. and Banco Itaú Suisse S.A. This segment offers financial and asset management services for customers with high purchasing power by providing a diversified and specialized basis of investment funds, trading and managing on their own account securities and other financial instruments, as well as by managing trusts and investment companies on behalf of customers. As part of our strategy, we are scaling down our Luxembourg activities and the private banking operations currently performed in Luxembourg will gradually be transferred to Switzerland.

 

As at December 31, 2012, Banco Itaú BBA International had R$ 17,339 million in assets, R$7,934 million in loans and leases, R$ 6,669 million in deposits and R$ 1,915 million in stockholders’ equity.

Marketing and Distribution Channels

 

We provide integrated financial services and products to our customers through a variety of marketing and distribution channels. Our distribution network consists principally of branches, ATMs and CSBs, which are banking service centers located on corporate customers’ premises.

 

The following table provides information relating to our branch network, costumer site branches and ATMs as of December 31, 2011 in Brazil and abroad:

 

   Branches   CSBs   ATMs

Total in Brazil   3,829    881    28,264 

 

Branches

 

As at December 31, 2012, we had a network of 3,864 full service branches throughout Brazil. As at December 31, 2012, 79.0% of our branches were located in the States of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais in the Southeast region, Paraná in the South, and Goiás in the Center-west. The branch network serves as a distribution network for all of the products and services we offer to our customers, such as credit cards, insurance plans and private retirement plans.

 

Customer Site Branches

 

As at December 31, 2012, we operated 876 CSBs throughout Brazil. The range of services provided at the CSBs may be the same as those provided at a full service branch, or more limited according to the size of a particular corporate customer and its needs. CSBs represent a low-cost alternative to opening full service branches. In addition, we believe CSBs provide us with an opportunity to target new retail customers while servicing corporate customers and personnel.

 

ATMs

 

As at December 31, 2012, we operated 27,409 ATMs throughout Brazil. Our customers may conduct almost all account related operations through ATMs. ATMs are low cost alternatives to employee-based services and give us points of service at costs significantly lower than branches. We also have arrangements with other network operators such as the brands “Cirrus” and “Maestro” to allow our clients to use simplified services through their networks.

Competition

 

General

 

The last several years have been characterized by increased competition and consolidation in the financial services industry in Brazil.

 

Retail Banking

 

As at December 31, 2012, there were 136 multiple-service banks, 22 commercial banks, and numerous savings and loan, brokerage, leasing and other financial institutions in Brazil.

 

We, together with Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco”), Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. (“Banco Santander”) and HSBC Bank Brasil S.A. (“HSBC”), are the leaders in the non-state-owned multiple-services banking sector. As at September 30, 2012, these banks accounted for 40.1% of the Brazilian banking sector’s total assets. We also face competition from state-owned banks, which has increased recently. As at September 30, 2012, Banco do Brasil S.A. (“Banco do Brasil”), Caixa Econômica Federal (“CEF”), and BNDES ranked first, fourth and fifth in the banking sector, respectively, accounting for 43.5% of the banking system’s total assets.

 

The table below sets forth the total assets of the top 14 banks in Brazil, ranked according to their share of the Brazilian banking sector’s total assets.

Itaú Unibanco Holding has a leading position in many areas in the domestic financial market. We achieved a market share of 14.2% based on total loans in November 2012, positioning us in third place within the Brazilian market. Not considering the public banks, we had a leading position based on total loans with 26.6% of the Brazilian market in November 2012.

 

We also have a highly qualified team of employees. We intensified our presence in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay)in order to strengthen our operations in Latin America. Our long-term strategy is to move gradually to a global position, but our strategy gives priority to the consolidation of our presence in the domestic and regional markets.

Credit Cards

 

The Brazilian credit card market is highly competitive, growing at a compound annual growth rate of over 21.4% over the last three years, as at June 30, 2012, according to the Brazilian Association of Credit Card Companies and Services (Associação Brasileira das Empresas de Cartões de Crédito e Serviços). Itaú Unibanco’s major competitors are Bradesco, Banco do Brasil and Banco Santander. Credit card companies are restructuring their offerings to adjust to lower interest rates and adapting relationship pricing policies (interest rates, cardholder fees and merchant fees) in order to strengthen their position in the market.

 

Asset Management Competition in Brazil

 

While the Brazilian asset management industry has grown in recent years by focusing on various client segments, activity is still dominated by commercial banks. According to ANBIMA, the asset management industry reached total assets of R$2,261 billion at the end of 2012, with competition focused on large and well-established retail banks. With respect to institutional clients, new foreign players are now present in Brazil, while niche players are present in the private banking business.

 

Insurance

 

The Brazilian insurance market is highly competitive. Our primary competitors in this sector, excluding health insurance, are related to large commercial banks, such as Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, CEF and Banco Santander. As at December 31, 2012, this industry consisted of approximately 117 insurance companies of various sizes, including 28 conglomerates and 36 independent companies. The Porto Seguro Alliance resulted in gains in scale and efficiency. Giving effect to our 30.0% ownership interest in Porto Seguro, we had 13.2% of the Brazilian market share based on insurance premiums for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Private Retirement Plans and Capitalization Products

 

Our primary competitors in private retirement plans and capitalization products are controlled by large commercial banks, such as Bradesco, Banco do Brasil, Banco Santander and CEF, which, like us, take advantage of their branch network to gain access to the retail market.

 

Corporate and Investment Banking

 

In the wholesale credit market, Itaú BBA contends for the top spot against Banco do Brasil (including its 50.0% stake in Banco Votorantim) based on aggregate loan volume, where it is currently followed by Bradesco and Banco Santander.

 

Itaú BBA also has a prominent position in the derivatives market, particularly in structured derivatives. In this market, its main competitors are the international banks, namely Banco Citibank, Credit Suisse Hedging Griffo, HSBC, Banco JP Morgan S.A., Banco Morgan Stanley and Banco Santander.

 

Itaú BBA also has a leading position in the Treasury Services market, where its main challengers are Banco do Brasil, Banco Santander and Bradesco. In 2012, Itaú BBA was chosen by Euromoney as the “Best Bank for Cash Management in Brazil” and is among the top three in the category “Best Regional Cash Management Latam.”

 

In investment banking, Itaú BBA’s main competitors include Banco Santander, Credit Suisse Hedging Griffo, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Banco Morgan Stanley, Banco JP Morgan, Bradesco and Banco BTG Pactual. In 2012, Itaú BBA ranked in first or second position in each of equity capital markets, debt capital markets and mergers and acquisitions.

 

Real Estate Financing

 

The main player in the Brazilian real estate market is CEF, a government owned bank. CEF is focused on real estate financing and, with its aggressive pricing strategy, is the leader in this market. This position is reinforced with the “Minha Casa, Minha Vida” federal program, which is responsible for the construction and financing of one million low income homes, and for which CEF is the main operator. There are also two important private bank competitors: Banco Santander and Bradesco. Banco do Brasil, another government owned bank, is also becoming an important player in this market.

 

71

 

Seasonality

 

Generally our retail banking and our credit card businesses have some seasonality, with increased levels of retail and credit card transactions over the Christmas period and a subsequent decrease in these levels at the beginning of the year. We also have some seasonality in our banking service fees related to collection services at the beginning of the year, which is when taxes and other fiscal contributions are generally paid.

 

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Incorporated on September 9, 1943 under the name Banco da Metrópole de São Paulo S.A., registered with the São Paulo Board of Trade under number 20.683 on May 22, 1944, the Issuer obtained a permit to operate as a financial institution on July 24, 1944. However, its history traces back to the activities of Itaú and Unibanco. On September 27, 1924, the banking department of Casa Moreira Salles started to operate, later becoming Banco Moreira Salles. The institution, which would play the leading role in a continuous process of mergers and acquisitions, adopted the name of Unibanco in 1975. In the Itaú group, the origins go back to 1944, when the members of the Egydio de Souza Aranha family founded Banco Federal de Crédito S.A. in São Paulo.

 

In relation to the capital markets, the Issuer’s shares were admitted for trading on BM&FBOVESPA in March 2003, replacing the shares of the institution that is currently named Itaú Unibanco S.A., which were admitted for trading on BM&FBOVESPA on October 20, 1944.

 

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

 

The basic institutional framework of the Brazilian financial system was established in 1964 through Law No. 4,595 of December 31, 1964 (the “Banking Reform Law”). The Banking Reform Law regulates the national financial system, composed of the CMN, the Central Bank, Banco do Brasil, the BNDES, and many financial institutions from the public and private sectors. This legislation created the CMN, as the regulatory agency responsible for establishing currency and credit policies, promoting economic and social development, as well as for the operation of the financial system. This law confers on the CMN powers to set loan and capital limits, approve monetary budgets, establish exchange and interest rate policies, oversee activities related to stock markets, regulate the organization and operation of financial institutions in the public and private sectors, give authority to the Central Bank to issue banknotes and set reserve requirement levels, and setting out general guidelines related to the banking and financial markets.

Principal Regulatory Agencies

 

CMN

 

The CMN, the highest authority responsible for monetary and financial policies in Brazil, is responsible for the overall supervision of Brazilian monetary, credit, budgetary, fiscal and public debt policies. The CMN is chaired by the minister of finance and includes the minister of planning budget and management and the president of the Central Bank. The CMN is authorized to regulate the credit operations which Brazilian financial institutions are engaged in, to regulate the Brazilian currency, to supervise Brazil’s reserves of gold and foreign exchange, to determine Brazilian saving and investment policies and to regulate the Brazilian capital markets. In this regard, the CMN also oversees the activities of the Central Bank and the CVM.

 

Central Bank

 

The Central Bank is responsible for implementing the policies established by the CMN, related to monetary policy and exchange control matters, regulating public and private sector Brazilian financial institutions, monitoring and registration of foreign investment in Brazil and overseeing the Brazilian financial markets. The president of the Central Bank is appointed by the president of Brazil subject to ratification by the Brazilian senate, to perform his duties for an indefinite term.

 

CVM

 

The CVM is the federal agency responsible for regulating the Brazilian securities and derivative markets in accordance with the general regulatory framework enacted by the CVM in accordance with CMN guidelines. The CVM also regulates capital market participants, such as companies whose securities are traded on the Brazilian securities markets, investment funds, investors, financial intermediaries and others such as securities custodians, asset managers, independent auditors, securities analysts and consultants.

 

SUSEP

 

SUSEP, a body subject to the Ministry of Finance, established by Decree Law No. 73, enacted on November, 21, 1966, is responsible for the supervision and control of insurance, open private pension plans, capitalization and reinsurance businesses in Brazil.

 

CNSP

 

The National Private Insurance Council (Conselho Nacional de Seguros Privados or “CNSP”), also established by Decree Law No. 73/66, regulates (together with SUSEP) insurance, open private pension plans, capitalization and reinsurance businesses in Brazil. The CNSP is chaired by the minister of finance or his representative and includes the superintendent of private insurance and representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Social Welfare, the Central Bank and the CVM.

 

Principal Limitations and Restrictions on Financial Institutions

 

Under Brazilian banking laws and regulations, financial institutions may not:

 

·Operate in Brazil without the prior approval of the Central Bank and carry out transactions that fail to comply with principles of selectivity of transactions, adequate guarantees, liquidity and risk diversification
·Invest in the equity of another company unless the investment receives the prior approval of the Central Bank, based upon certain standards established by the CMN. Those investments may, however, be made through the investment banking business unit of a multiple-service bank or through an investment bank
·Own real estate unless the institution occupies that property. When real estate is transferred to a financial institution in satisfaction of a debt, the property must be sold within one year, except if otherwise authorized by the Central Bank; and
·Lend more than 25.0% of their capital calculated in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,444 as the basis for their regulatory capital to any single person or group.

 

73

 

Special provisions relating to capital composition

 

Financial institutions may be organized as companies whose capital stock is composed of shares with or without voting rights, and the shares without voting rights may not represent more than 50% of capital. They may also be organized as subsidiaries of foreign companies.

 

Principal Financial Institutions

 

Public Sector

 

The federal and state governments of Brazil control several commercial banks and financial institutions devoted to fostering economic development, primarily with respect to the agricultural and industrial sectors. State development banks act as independent regional development agencies in addition to performing commercial banking activities. In the last decade, several public sector multiple-service banks have been privatized and acquired by Brazilian and foreign financial groups. Government-controlled banks include:

 

·Banco do Brasil, which is a federal government-controlled bank. Banco do Brasil provides a full range of banking products to the public and private sectors

 

·BNDES, which is the federal government-controlled development bank primarily engaged in the provision of medium- and long-term finance to the Brazilian private sector, including to industrial companies, either directly or indirectly through other public and private sector financial institutions

 

·CEF, which is a federal government-controlled multiple-service bank and the principal agent of the national housing finance system. CEF is involved principally in deposit-taking, savings accounts and the provision of financing for housing and urban infrastructure

 

·Other federal public sector development and multiple-service banks, including those controlled by the various state governments.

 

Private Sector

 

The private financial sector includes commercial banks, investment, finance and credit companies, investment banks, multiple-service banks, securities dealers, stock brokerage firms, credit co-operatives, leasing companies, insurance companies and others. In Brazil, the largest participants in the financial markets are financial conglomerates involved in commercial banking, investment banking, financing, leasing, securities dealing, brokerage and insurance.

 

In addition, the private financial sector includes consumer credit companies (financeiras), securities dealerships (distribuidoras de títulos e valores mobiliários), stock brokerage companies (corretoras de valores), leasing companies (sociedades de arrendamento mercantil), savings and credit associations (associações de poupança e empréstimo) and real estate credit companies (sociedades de crédito imobiliário).

 

Regulation by the Central Bank

 

Overview

 

The Central Bank implements the currency and credit policies established by the CMN, and controls and supervises all public- and private-sector financial institutions. Any amendment to a financial institution’s bylaws, any increase in its capital or any establishment or transfer of its principal place of business or any branch (whether in Brazil or abroad), any merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or change of control, and the election of directors, officers or audit committee members of financial institutions must be approved by the Central Bank.

 

74

 

Central Bank approval is necessary to enable a financial institution to merge with, or acquire, another financial institution or for any corporate reorganization or change of control of financial institutions. On August 2, 2012, the Central Bank enacted Resolution No. 4,122, which revoked and substituted, with certain amendments, Resolutions 3,040 and 3,041, both dated November 28, 2002. In general terms, Resolution No. 4,122 created additional tools for the Central Bank, allowing it to perform a more complete and qualitative review of the authorization processes submitted for analysis of organization, operation, corporate reorganizations and changes of control of financial institutions, and the cancellation of such authorizations, as well as for the election process of directors, officers and audit committee members. Additionally, on March 29, 2012, the Central Bank enacted Resolution No. 4,062, which amends Resolution No. 2,723, dated May 31, 2000 and sets forth that any direct or indirect equity interest by financial institutions in any company located in Brazil or abroad, or the increase thereof, must be previously authorized by the Central Bank, other than (i) equity interests typically held in the investment portfolios of investment banks, development banks,  development agencies (agências de fomento) and multi-service banks with investment or development portfolios, and (ii) temporary equity interests not registered as permanent assets of the financial institution. The Central Bank will only authorize such equity interests in companies whose corporate purpose is complementary or subsidiary to the activities carried out by the investing financial institution. 

 

The Central Bank also determines minimum capital requirements, permanent asset limits, lending limits and mandatory reserve requirements. No financial institution may operate in Brazil without the prior approval of the Central Bank.

 

The Central Bank monitors compliance with accounting and statistical requirements. Financial institutions must submit annual and semi-annual audited financial statements, quarterly financial statements, subject to a limited review, as well as monthly unaudited financial statements, prepared in accordance with the Central Bank rules, all of which must be filed with the Central Bank. Publicly held financial institutions must also submit annual and quarterly financial statements to the CVM, which are subject to a limited review. In addition, financial institutions are required to disclose to the Central Bank all credit transactions, foreign exchange transactions, export and import transactions and any other related economic activity. This disclosure is usually made on a daily basis by computer and through periodic reports and statements. A financial institution and the corporate entities or individuals which control the financial institution have a duty to make available for inspection by the Central Bank their corporate records and any other documents which the Central Bank may require in order to carry out its activities.

 

Capital Adequacy and Leverage/Regulatory Capital Requirements

 

Existing Requirements

 

Since January 1995, Brazilian financial institutions have been required to comply with Basel I on risk-based capital adequacy, modified as described below.

 

In general, Basel I and Basel II require banks to maintain a ratio of capital to assets and certain off-balance sheet items, determined on a risk-weighted basis, of at least 8.0%. At least half of the required capital must consist of Tier 1 Capital, and the balance must consist of Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital includes equity capital (i.e. common shares and non-cumulative permanent preferred shares), share premiums, retained earnings and certain disclosed reserves, less goodwill. Tier 2 Capital, or supplementary capital, includes “hidden” reserves, asset revaluation reserves, general loan loss reserves, subordinated debt and other quasi-equity capital instruments (such as cumulative preferred shares, long-term preferred shares and mandatory convertible debt instruments). There are also limitations on the maximum amount of certain Tier 2 Capital items. To assess the capital adequacy of banks under the risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, a bank’s capital is evaluated on the basis of the aggregate amount of its assets and off-balance sheet exposures, such as financial guarantees, letters of credit and foreign currency and interest rate contracts, which are weighted according to their categories of risk.

 

Brazilian legislation closely follows the provisions of the Basel II standardized or basic approaches for credit, market and operational risks. Among the key differences between Brazilian legislation and Basel II are:

 

·The minimum ratio of capital to assets determined on a risk-weighted basis is 11.0%;

 

·The risk-weighting assigned to certain assets and off-balance sheet exposure items differs slightly from those set forth in Basel II, including a risk weighting of 300.0% on deferred tax assets other than temporary differences, and certain types of lending to individuals

 

·The ratio of capital to assets of 11.0% mentioned above must be calculated according to two different methods: by consolidating only our financial subsidiaries on a fully consolidated basis since July 2000, i.e., including all financial and non-financial subsidiaries. In making these consolidations, Brazilian financial institutions are required to take into account all investments made in Brazil or abroad in which the financial institution holds, directly and indirectly, individually or together with another partner, including through voting agreements: (i) partner rights that ensure a majority in adopting corporate resolutions of the invested entity, (ii) power to elect or dismiss the majority of the management of the invested entity, (iii) operational control of the invested company characterized by common management, and (iv) effective corporate control of the invested entity characterized by the total equity interest held by its management, controlling individuals or entities, related entities and the equity interest held, directly or indirectly, through investment funds. Upon preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the financial institutions that are related by actual operational control or by operation in the market under the same trade name or trademark must also be considered for consolidation purposes

 

75

 

 

·Since July 1st, 2008, the Central Bank has required financial institutions to set aside a portion of their equity to cover operational risk based on the Basel II guidelines on operational risk capital requirements. Itaú Unibanco Holding has opted for the ASA, which requires a financial institution to set aside 12.0% to 18.0% of its financial intermediation average gross income or a percentage of its average volume of loans, depending on the line of business, according to regulatory classification, to cover operational risks

 

·Undisclosed or “hidden” reserves are not included within the definition of Tier 2 Capital under Brazilian laws and regulations.

 

For limited purposes, the Central Bank establishes the criteria for the determination of regulatory capital for Brazilian financial institutions. In accordance with those criteria established by CMN Resolution No. 3,444, the capital of the banks is divided into Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital.

 

Tier 1 Capital is represented by stockholders’ equity plus the balance of credit income accounts and blocked deposit accounts in order to mitigate capital deficiencies, excluding the balance of debt income accounts, revaluation reserves, contingency reserves, special profit reserves related to mandatory dividends not yet distributed, preferred cumulative stock, preferred redeemable stock, non-realized earnings related to market value adjustments to available-per-sale securities and certain tax credits in accordance with Resolution No. 3,059, as amended, established by CMN.

 

Tier 2 Capital is represented by revaluation reserves, contingency reserves, special profit reserves related to mandatory dividends not yet distributed, preferred cumulative stock, preferred redeemable stock, subordinated debt and hybrid instruments and non-realized earnings related to available-for-sale securities market value adjustments. As mentioned above, Tier 2 Capital must not exceed Tier 1 Capital. In addition, preferred redeemable stock with original maturities of less than 10 years plus the amount of subordinated debt is limited to 50.0% of the amount of Tier 1 Capital.

 

Regulatory capital is represented by the sum of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital and, together with the deductions described in Note 33 to our consolidated financial statements, is taken into consideration for the purposes of defining operational limits.

 

On March 4, 2013, the Central Bank enacted Circular No. 3,648, which establishes the minimum requirements for the use of internal credit risk classification systems in the calculation of the required regulatory capital, as set forth in Resolution No. 3,490.

 

Basel III Framework

 

On December 16, 2010, the Basel Committee issued its new Basel III framework, which was revised and republished on June 1st, 2011. The Basel III framework includes higher minimum capital requirements and new conservation and countercyclical buffers, revised risk-based capital measures, and the introduction of a new leverage ratio and two liquidity standards. The new rules will be phased in gradually and, as with other Basel directives, these will not be self-effectuating. Rather, each country must adopt them by legislation or regulation to be imposed upon that country’s home banks.

 

The Basel III framework will require banks to maintain: (i) a minimum common equity capital ratio of 4.5%, (ii) a minimum Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6.0%, and (iii) a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0%. In addition to the minimum capital requirements, Basel III will require a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% and each national regulator is given discretion to institute a “countercyclical buffer” if it perceives a greater systemic risk to the banking system as the result of a build-up of excess credit growth in its jurisdiction. The Basel Committee proposed to phase in the three basic minimum requirements, beginning on January 1st, 2013, with a longer period for banks to comply with the capital conservation buffer, the “countercyclical buffer” and other requirements, beginning on January 1st, 2016.

 

Basel III also introduces a new leverage ratio. A supervisory monitoring period began on January 1, 2011 and a parallel semi-annual testing run period of a minimum Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio of 3.0% began on January 1st, 2013 and will run until January 1st, 2017. Basel III will require banks to disclose their leverage ratio and its components beginning January 1st, 2015.

In addition, Basel III aims to improve risk coverage by reforming the treatment of counterparty credit risk (“CCR”). Going forward, affected banks will, among other things, be required to determine their capital requirements for CCR using stressed inputs and be subject to a capital charge for potential mark-to-market losses associated with counterparties’ deteriorating creditworthiness.

 

In relation to liquidity, Basel III implements a liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) and a net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”). The LCR will require affected banks to maintain sufficient high-quality liquid assets to cover the net cash outflow that could be encountered under a potential liquidity disruption scenario over a thirty-day period. The NFSR establishes a minimum amount of stable sources of funding a bank will be required to maintain based on the liquidity profiles of the bank’s assets, as well as the potential for contingent liquidity needs arising from off-balance sheet commitments over a one-year period. Basel III provides for an observation period which began in 2011. On January 7, 2013, the Basel Committee issued a revised version of the LCR requirements. This revised version includes, among other changes, an expansion in the definition of high-quality liquid assets and a revised timetable for the phase-in of the LCR. According to this new timetable, the LCR, including any revisions, will be introduced as a minimum requirement on January 1st, 2015. The LCR will begin at 60.0% on January 1st, 2015 and will rise in increments of 10 percentage points per year to reach 100.0% on January 1st, 2019. The NSFR, including any revisions, will be introduced as a minimum standard in 2018.

 

In addition, on January 13, 2011, the Basel Committee expanded on the Basel III capital rules with additional requirements, also referred to generally as the “January 13 Annex”, applicable to non-common Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital instruments issued by internationally active banks. These requirements are in addition to the criteria detailed in the Basel III capital rules outlined above. To be included in additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital, the January 13 Annex requires an instrument issued by an internationally active bank to have a provision that requires such instruments, at the option of the relevant authority, to either be written off or converted to common equity upon a “trigger event.” A “trigger event” is the earlier of: (i) a decision that a write-off, without which the bank would become non-viable, is necessary, as determined by the relevant authority, and (ii) the decision to make a public sector injection of capital, or equivalent support, without which the bank would have become non-viable, as determined by the relevant authority. The additional requirements apply to all instruments issued after January 1st, 2013, depending on the implementation of the framework by each country. Otherwise, qualifying instruments which do not comply with the new Basel III requirements and are issued prior to that date will be phased out over a ten-year period, beginning on January 1st, 2013.

 

On November 4, 2011, the Basel Committee published the final document addressing the assessment methodology for determining the systemically important financial institutions (“G-SIFIs”) and the amount of additional regulatory capital requirements that G-SIFIs should meet and the arrangements by which such additional requirements will be phased in. The assessment methodology is an indicator-based measurement approach. The selected indicators reflect a G-SIFI’s (i) size, (ii) interconnectedness, (iii) lack of readily available substitute or financial institution infrastructure for the services they provide, (iv) global or cross-jurisdictional activity, and (v) complexity, each of them receiving an equal weighting of 20.0% in the assessment. The magnitude of additional loss absorbency requirements for G-SIFIs proposed by the Basel Committee ranges from 1.0% to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets to be met using Common Equity Tier 1 only, as defined in the Basel III framework. The additional loss absorbency requirement for G-SIFIs will be phased in in parallel with the “capital conservation” and “countercyclical” buffers between January 1st, 2016 and the end of 2018, becoming fully effective on January 1st, 2019. The Issuer has not been classified as a G-SIFI by the Basel Committee.

 

On October 11, 2012, the Basel Committee issued a framework for dealing with domestic systemically important banks (“D-SIBs”), which entails a set of principles national regulators could adopt when determining the assessment methodology and the higher loss absorbency requirement for D-SIBs. The D-SIB framework supplements the G-SIFI framework by focusing on the impact that the distress or failure of systemically important banks would have on the domestic economy of each country. The Central Bank has not yet issued any proposed regulation or official guidance on the assessment methodology or the higher loss absorbency requirements for D-SIBs in Brazil.

 

No official revision of the phasing in arrangements for the Basel III framework has been made by the Basel Committee (except for the LCR), and the phasing -in should have begun on January 1 st, 2013.

Implementation of Basel III in Brazil

 

On February 28, 2013, the Brazilian government enacted Provisional Measure No. 608 to address certain legislative changes required to enable the implementation of the Basel III framework in Brazil, including modifications to Law No. 12,249, which regulates the issuing of financial bills and modifications to the treatment of tax credits for regulatory capital purposes.

 

On March 1st, 2013, the CMN issued four resolutions (one of which, CMN Resolution No. 4,194, does not apply to our business), which were followed by several circulars enacted by the Central Bank on March 4, 2013, all of which detail the implementation of the Basel III framework.

 

CMN Resolution No. 4,192, CMN Resolution No. 4,193 and CMN Resolution No. 4,195 regulate, among others, the calculation of capital requirements (Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 and total capital requirements), the eligibility of instruments to qualify as Tier 1 or Tier 2 Capital, the calculation methodology for regulatory capital, the introduction of capital buffers, the definition of “consolidated enterprise level” (conglomerado prudencial) and phase in and phase out arrangements.

 

According to CMN Resolution No. 4,192 and CMN Resolution No. 4,193, Brazilian banks’ minimum total capital ratio is calculated as the sum of three components:

 

·Regulatory capital (patrimônio de referência)

 

·A capital conservation buffer (to enhance the loss absorption ability of financial institutions); and

 

·A countercyclical capital buffer (to address the risk of the build-up of excess credit growth).

 

Brazilian banks’ regulatory capital continues to comprise two tiers, Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital, and qualification of financial instruments as Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital is based on the ability of such instruments to absorb losses at a viable financial institution. Tier 1 Capital is further divided into two portions: Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (common equity capital and profit reserves, or Capital Principal) and Additional Tier 1 Capital (hybrid debt and equity instruments authorized by the Central Bank, or Capital Complementar). Existing hybrid instruments and subordinated debt already approved by the Central Bank as Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital may continue to qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital, as the case may be, provided that suthesech instruments comply with CMN Resolution No. 4,192 and a new authorization from the Central Bank is obtained. All instruments that do not comply with these requirements will be phased out as eligible capital instruments by deducting 10.0% of their book value per year from the amount that qualifies as Additional Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital. The first deduction is due on October 1, 2013, and subsequent deductions will take place annually starting January 1st, 2014 until January 1st, 2022.

 

According to CMN Resolution No. 4,192, in order to qualify as Additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 Capital, an instrument issued by a Brazilian bank must, among other things, have a provision that requires this instrument to be automatically written off or converted to equity upon a “trigger event.” A “trigger event” is the earlier of: (i) Common Equity Tier 1 Capital being less than 5.125% of risk-weighted assets for Tier 1 instruments and 4.5% for Tier 2 instruments, calculated in accordance with the requirements of CMN Resolution No. 4,193, or (ii) the decision, as established in a firm irrevocable written agreement, to make a public sector injection of capital, as determined by the applicable legislation, (iii) the Central Bank declares the beginning of a special administration regime (Regime de Administração Especial Temporária or “RAET”) or intervention in the issuing financial institution, or (iv) a decision that a write-off or conversion, without which the bank would become non-viable and in order to mitigate relevant risks to the Brazilian financial system, is necessary, as determined by the Central Bank, in accordance with guidance criteria to be established by the CMN (the “regulatory discretionary trigger event”). The additional requirements apply to all instruments issued after October 1st, 2013.

 

Resolution No. 4,193 also establishes capital conservation and countercyclical buffers for Brazilian financial institutions, determining their minimum percentages and which sanctions and limitations will apply in case of non-compliance with such additional requirements. Such limitations include: (i) partial or full inability to pay executives and members of the board their share of variable compensation; (ii) partial or full inability to distribute dividends and interest on equity to shareholders; and (iii) full inability to repurchase their own shares and effect reductions in their share capital. Under CMN Resolution No. 4,193, capital requirements will be increased in 2019 to a maximum of 13.0% of risk-weighted assets, of which 2.5% will only be required as a countercyclical measure, with phase-in of such modifications beginning on October 1, 2013. The composition of a financial institution’s risk-weighted assets is also described in Resolution No. 4,193 and the risk categories are detailed and regulated by the Central Bank Circulars enacted on March 4, 2013. For further details on the detailed calculation of risk-weighted assets.

 

The following table presents the schedule for implementation by the Central Bank of the principal changes related to capital adequacy and leverage requirements under Basel III according to CMN Resolution No. 4,193.

CMN Resolution No. 4,195 defines the entities that compose the “consolidated enterprise level” (conglomerado prudencial) of a Brazilian financial institution, and establishes the requirement that a financial institution prepare and file with the Central Bank monthly consolidated financial statements at consolidated enterprise level, as defined therein. These financial statements must also be subject to audits by external auditors on a semi-annual basis. According to CMN Resolution No. 4,192, capital requirements will, as of January 1, 2014, be applied at consolidated enterprise level (conglomerado prudencial), as determined by CMN Resolution No. 4,195.

 

Also, as part of the implementation of the Basel III framework, on June 30, 2011 the CMN enacted Resolution No. 3,988, which sets forth that Brazilian financial institutions shall implement a structure of capital management compatible with the nature of their transactions, the complexity of the products and services they offer, as well as with the extent of their exposure to risk. Capital management is defined as a process that includes: (i) monitoring and controlling the financial institution’s capital, (ii) assessing capital needs in light of the risks to which the financial institution is subject, and (iii) setting goals and conducting goal and capital planning in order to anticipate capital needs due to changes in market conditions. Financial institutions shall provide to the general public a report describing the structure of their capital management at least on an annual basis.

 

Until the resolutions issued on March 1st, 2013 and the circulars issued on March 4, 2013 come into effect (on July 1st, 2013 in the case of CMN Resolution No. 4,195, and on October 1st, 2013 in the case of the other resolutions and circulars), the existing capital rules described above under “— Capital Adequacy and Leverage/Regulatory Capital Requirements” remain in force.

 

Further Details on the Effects of Provisional Measure No. 608

 

Pursuant to CMN Resolution No. 4,192, Common Equity Tier 1 Capital is reduced by tax credits due to temporary differences, among other items. These tax credits, which are tax credits for accounting purposes, depend on future profits to be realized and may, in the future, reduce taxation levied on profits. Allowances for loan and lease losses represent one of the most significant temporary differences.

 

In order to reduce the negative impact of such reductions on the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Provisional Measure No. 608 allows financial institutions to replace these temporary differences related to allowances for loan and lease losses with a presumed credit, cashable against the national treasury. Temporary differences related to allowances for loan and lease losses are also automatically replaced with a presumed credit when a financial institution undergoes liquidation or bankruptcy. As a result, financial institutions should be able to reduce their tax credits due to temporary differences which depend on future profits for their realization (accounting tax credits) and, consequently, negative impacts on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. A presumed credit created by Provisional Measure No. 608, on the other hand, does not reduce the regulatory capital as it is not an accounting tax credit that depends on future profits. The use of presumed credits is expected to be further regulated by the Brazilian Revenue Office and the Central Bank during 2013.

 

Implementation of Basel III in Brazil — Expected Future Rules

 

A maximum leverage ratio of 3.0% is expected to apply to Brazilian banks beginning January 2018, with certain disclosure requirements applicable from January 1st, 2015. A LCR to address short-term liquidity risk and a NSFR to address long-term liquidity risk are expected to apply to Brazilian banks beginning on January 1st, 2015 and 2018, respectively, with certain calculation and monitoring requirements applicable beginning on January 15, 2012. However, CMN Resolution No. 4,192, CMN Resolution No. 4,193, CMN Resolution No. 4,195 and the Circulars enacted by the Central Bank on March 4, 2013 do not address liquidity ratio requirements, and the Central Bank has not yet officially announced its position on liquidity regulation, including whether the implementation of the LCR in Brazil would follow the modified phase in arrangements set by the Basel Committee in January 2013.

 

79

 

The Central Bank and the CMN are also expected to enact regulations in the near future on: (i) the assessment methodology or the higher loss absorbency requirement for D-SIBs in Brazil, and (ii) the criteria to be used by the Central Bank as guidance in considering the use of its authority under CMN Resolution No. 4,192 to declare a regulatory discretionary trigger event.

 

Reserve Requirements

 

The Central Bank currently imposes various reserve requirements on Brazilian financial institutions, and these reserve amounts must be deposited with the Central Bank. Reserve requirements are a mechanism to control the liquidity of the Brazilian financial system. These reserve requirements are applied to a wide range of banking activities and transactions, such as demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits.

 

Reserve requirements, certain deductibility criteria and the mandatory application of moneys in certain financing transactions applicable to demand deposits are currently regulated by CMN Resolution No. 4,096 of June 28, 2012, Circular No. 3,632, dated February 21, 2013, as amended by Circular 3,573 of January 23, 2012, as amended, and by Circular No. 3,622, enacted on December 27, 2012. Resolution 4,096 establishes the minimum mandatory investment criteria for a percentage of a financial institution’s demand deposit outstanding balance. Circular 3,632 consolidated and redefined the demand deposit reserve requirements applicable to commercial banks, multi-service banks and investment banks. Circular 3,573 also sets forth certain additional deductibility criteria. Circular 3,622 sets forth additional rules in respect of compliance with the requirements over demand deposits. The key features of Resolution 4,096, Circular 3,632, Circular 3,573 and Circular 3,622 include the definition of:

 

·The rate and calculation basis of total compulsory reserve on demand deposits (Value to be Reserved – Valor Sujeito a Recolhimento - VSR), which currently is 44,0% of the arithmetic average of outstanding amounts of certain demand deposits defined therein for a certain pre-established period, as well as the pre-established authorized deductions;

 

·The percentage of demand deposit requirements that may be deducted in connection with rural credit financing with agricultural and cattle funding contracted in certain predefined periods (currently limited to 5.0% of the total requirement and limited to loans contracted in the period from January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012)

 

·The minimum requirement for financial institutions to invest a predetermined percentage of their total demand requirements in rural credit transactions (currently established at 34.0% of the total demand reserve requirements (Valor Sujeito a Recolhimento)

 

·The deposit percentage requirement set forth in Circular No. 3,274 that may be deducted from the amount corresponding to the updated outstanding balance of the loans granted as at December 21, 2012 and which are in accordance with certain criteria established for the sub-programs of Resolution No. 4170, dated December 20, 2012 (currently limited to 20% and only applies to financial institutions which, in September 2012, had Tier 1 Regulatory Capital above R$ 6 billion).

 

Reserve requirements and mandatory application of moneys on certain financing transactions applicable to savings deposits are currently regulated by CMN Resolution No. 3,932, of December 16, 2010 and/or Circular No. 3,093, dated March 1st, 2002, as amended. Resolution No. 3,932 establishes the minimum mandatory investment criteria for a percentage of a financial institution’s savings deposit outstanding balance. Circular No 3,093 consolidated and redefined the savings reserve requirements applicable to commercial banks, multi-service banks with a real estate portfolio, real estate credit companies (sociedades de crédito imobiliário) and savings banks. The key features of Resolution No 3,932 and Circular No 3,093 include the definition of:

 

·The rate and the basis for calculation of the total savings deposit reserve requirements (Valor Sujeito a Recolhimento), which is currently 20.0% of the arithmetic average of the outstanding amounts of savings deposits defined therein over a predetermined period

 

·The mandatory application by financial institutions receiving savings deposit of a predefined percentage of their savings deposits in real estate financing (currently established at 65.0% of the total savings deposits balance); and

 

80

 

·The interest rate applicable to reserve requirements paid by the Central Bank over a predetermined percentage of the total savings deposit reserve requirements (currently 100.0% of the savings deposits reserve requirements are eligible to earn interest, as set forth by Circular No. 3,093)

 

Additionally, Law No. 8,177 of March 1, 1991, which established rules for return on savings accounts, was amended by Provisional Measure No. 567, dated May 3, 2012 (converted into Law No. 12,703 on August 8, 2012). Provisional Measure No. 567 created new rules regarding returns on deposits in savings accounts, setting forth that it will be 70.0% of the monthly equivalent of the annual SELIC rate plus the variation of the reference rate (Taxa Referencial or “TR”) whenever the SELIC rate is equal to or lower than 8.5% per year. In case the SELIC rate is greater than 8.5% per year, returns on deposits in savings accounts will be fixed at 0.5% per month plus the variation of the reference rate. On May 30, 2012, the Central Bank enacted Circular No. 3,595, which set out the formula used to calculate returns on deposits in savings accounts.

 

Reserve requirements and deductibility criteria applicable to time deposits are currently regulated by Circular No. 3,569, dated December 22, 2011, as amended. Circular No 3,569 consolidated and redefined the term deposit reserve requirements applicable to commercial banks, multiservice banks, development banks, investment banks, foreign exchange banks, savings banks and credit, financing and investment companies. Key features of Circular 3,569 include the definition of:

 

·The rate and the basis for the calculation of the total time deposit reserve requirements (Valor Sujeito a Recolhimento), which is currently 20.0% of the average outstanding amount of certain time deposits defined therein over a predetermined period, as well as the predefined authorized deductions (which varies considering the consolidated Tier I Capital of the institution in question)

 

·The percentage of term deposit reserves eligible to earn interest as overnight deposits with the Central Bank (currently limited to 50.0% of the total requirements)

 

·The percentage of term deposit requirements that may be deducted in connection with the acquisition of financial bills, credit portfolios and certain other assets issued or originated by eligible financial institutions (currently limited to 50.0% of the total requirements)

 

·Certain other assets originated by the financial institution itself that may be deducted from the reserve requirements (which currently include, for instance, certain credit facilities for the financing and leasing of motorcycles); and

 

·The criteria for a financial institution to be deemed an “eligible financial institution” for the purposes of item (ii), above (which currently comprises several combined criteria such as, but not limited to, having a consolidated Tier 1 Capital of less than R$3.5 billion and a time deposit to total liabilities ratio of at least 20.0%).

 

Additional compulsory deposits for demand, savings and time deposits are currently regulated by Circular No. 3.144, of August 14, 2002, as amended. Circular No. 3.144 presently sets forth (i) an additional compulsory deposit rate of 11.0% for time deposits, calculated on the Value to be Reserved (VSR) set forth by Circular No. 3.569; and (ii) and additional compulsory deposit rate of 10.0% for savings deposits, calculated on the Value to be Reserved established by Circular No. 3.093. Currently there is no additional compulsory deposit for demand deposits.

 

These regulations are frequently amended by the Central Bank in accordance with the economic scenario and in response to changing Brazilian monetary policy. As at December 31, 2012, we had required reserves funded in cash of R$63,701 million compared to R$98,053 million as at December 31, 2011, of which R$57,253 million and R$92,323 million, respectively, earn interest.

 

Foreign Currency Exposure

 

The total exposure in gold, foreign currency and other assets and liabilities indexed or linked to the foreign exchange rate variations undertaken by financial institutions (including their offshore branches), and their direct and indirect subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, may not exceed 30.0% of their regulatory capital, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,488, of August 29, 2007.

 

81

 

Liquidity and Fixed Assets Investment Regime

 

In accordance with CMN Resolution No. 2,669 of November 25, 1999, the Central Bank prohibits Brazilian financial institutions, including us, from holding, on a consolidated basis, permanent assets in excess of 50.0% of their adjusted regulatory capital. Permanent assets include investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries as well as real estate, equipment and intangible assets.

 

Lending Limits

 

In accordance with CMN Resolution No. 2,844 of June 29, 2001, a financial institution, on a consolidated basis, may not extend loans or advances, grant guarantees, enter into credit derivative transactions, underwrite or hold in its investment portfolio securities of any customer or group of affiliated customers in which, on the aggregate, exceed 25.0% of the financial institution’s regulatory capital.

 

Treatment of Past Due Debts

 

In accordance with CMN Resolution No 2,682, Brazilian financial institutions are required to classify their credit transactions (including leasing transactions and other transactions characterized as credit advances) at different levels and make provisions according to the level attributed to each transaction. The classification is based on the financial condition of the customer, the terms and conditions of the transaction and the period of time during which the transaction is past due, if any. For the purposes of Central Bank requirements and under Brazilian GAAP, transactions are classified at Level AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H, with AA being the highest classification. Credit classifications must be reviewed on a monthly basis and, apart from additional provisions required by the Central Bank which are deemed necessary by the management of those financial institutions, each level has a specific allowance percentage which is used to calculate the allowance for loan losses, as specified in the table below:

 

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

 

Provision for Loan Losses for Income Tax Deduction Purposes

 

Brazilian financial institutions are allowed to deduct loan losses as expenses for the purpose of determining their taxable income. The period during which these deductions may be made depends on the amounts, maturities and types involved in the transaction, in accordance with Article 9 of Law No. 9,430 of December 27, 1996.

 

Foreign Currency Loans

 

Financial institutions in Brazil are permitted to borrow foreign currency denominated funds in the international markets (either through direct loans or through the issue of debt securities) for any purpose including lending those funds onwards in Brazil to Brazilian corporations and financial institutions without the prior written consent of the Central Bank, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,844, of March 24, 2010. The Central Bank may establish limits on the terms, interest rates and general conditions of such international loan transactions (including the issue of bonds and notes by financial institutions). Currently, there are no limits imposed on such transactions, but the inflow of funds to, deriving from or for, loans, including the issue of notes in the international market, whose average minimum payment term is no longer than 360 days, is subject to the IOF/FX tax, at a rate of 6.0%. However, if the average minimum term of the loan is longer than 360 days, the IOF/FX tax is reduced to zero. Moreover, if a loan transaction with a minimum term longer than 360 days is settled partially or completely before the completion of the 360 day term, the IOF/FX tax would be 6.0%, plus interest and penalty.

 

Cross-border loans between individual or legal entities (including banks) resident or domiciled in Brazil and individual or legal entities resident or domiciled abroad are no longer subject to the prior approval of the Central Bank, but are subject to prior registration with the Central Bank.

 

Financial institutions may also grant loans in foreign currency, or indexed to the fluctuations of a foreign currency, to their clients’ trade-related activities, such as by granting advances on foreign exchange contracts (Adiantamento sobre Contrato de Câmbio), advances on delivered commercial papers (Adiantamento sobre Cambiais Entregues) or export or import prepayment agreements (Pré-Pagamento de Exportação e Financiamento à Importação), all in accordance with the Brazilian regulations on foreign exchange markets and international capital flows. On December 4, 2012, for instance, the Central Bank issued Circular No. 3,617, which amended Brazilian regulations on foreign exchange markets and international capital flows, and relaxed some previously established limitations imposed on export financing by, among other changes, extending the maximum term for export financing from 360 to 1,800 days.

 

82

 

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

 

Foreign Currency Positions

 

Transactions involving the sale and purchase of foreign currency in Brazil may only be conducted by institutions authorized to do so by the Central Bank. The Central Bank imposes limits on the foreign exchange sale and purchase positions of institutions authorized to operate in the foreign exchange markets. These limits vary according to the type of financial institution conducting foreign exchange transactions, the foreign exchange sale positions held by those institutions, as well as the stockholders’ equity of the relevant institution. There is no current limit on long or short positions in foreign currency for banks authorized to carry out transactions on the foreign exchange market. In accordance with Central Bank Circular No. 3,401 of August 15, 2008, other institutions within the Brazilian financial system are not allowed to have short positions in foreign currency, although there are no limits on foreign exchange long positions.

 

According to Central Bank Circular No. 3,548, of July 8, 2011, as amended, there is a cash reserve requirement for financial institutions with foreign exchange operations corresponding to 60.0% of the average amount of the last five days’ foreign exchange short positions in excess of US$3 billion.

 

In accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,033 of November 30, 2011, banks with regulatory capital exceeding R$5 billion may lend funds raised through external funding activities to: (i) Brazilian companies, (ii) their offshore subsidiaries and (iii) foreign companies, provided that the majority of the foreign company’s voting stock belongs to a shareholder that is, directly or indirectly, an individual or legal entity resident or domiciled in Brazil. Resolution No. 4,033 also allows banks to acquire, in the primary market, bonds issued or guaranteed by the above mentioned companies.

 

Transactions with Affiliates

 

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, as well as the Central Bank and CVM rules, we are required to identify in our financial statements all related party transactions, according to the materiality criteria established by the accounting rules. On December 2012, we adopted a Related Party Transactions Policy to ensure we are aligned with best practice in corporate governance.

 

Law No. 7,492, enacted on June 16, 1986, which sets forth crimes against the Brazilian financial system, defines as a criminal offense the extension of credit by a financial institution to any of its controlling shareholders, directors or officers, or certain family members of such individuals and any entity controlled directly or indirectly by such a financial institution, or which is under common control with the financial institution. Violations of Law No. 7,492 are punishable by two to six years of imprisonment and a fine. On June 30, 1993, the CMN issued Resolution No. 1,996, which requires any such transaction to be reported to the prosecutor’s office.

 

Brazilian banking laws and regulations also impose prohibitions on the extension of credit or guarantees to any company which holds more than 10.0% of the financial institution’s capital and to any company in which they hold more than 10.0% of the capital. This limitation is also applicable to the directors and officers of the financial institution and certain family members of these individuals, as well to those companies in which such persons hold more than 10.0% of the capital.

 

Establishment of Offices and Investments Abroad

 

For a Brazilian financial institution to establish foreign offices or directly or indirectly maintain equity interests in financial institutions outside of Brazil, it must obtain the prior approval of the Central Bank, which will depend on the applicant Brazilian bank being able to meet certain criteria, including:

 

·The Brazilian financial institution must have been in operation for at least six years

 

·The Brazilian financial institution’s paid-in capital and stockholders’ equity must meet the minimum levels established by the Central Bank regulations for the relevant financial institution, plus an amount equal to 300.0% of the minimum paid-in capital and stockholders’ equity required by Central Bank regulations for commercial banks

 

83

 

·The Central Bank must be assured of access to information, data and documents regarding the transactions and accounting records of the branch for its global and consolidated supervision; and

 

·The Brazilian financial institution must present to the Central Bank a study on the economic and financial viability of the subsidiary, branch or investment and the expected return on investment.

 

Within 180 days of Central Bank approval, the Brazilian financial institution must submit to the competent foreign authorities a request to open the branch, and begin operations within one year of the date of approval by the local authorities. Failure to fulfill these conditions may result in the cancellation of the authorization.

 

Compensation of Directors and Officers of Financial Institutions

 

On November 25, 2010, the CMN issued Resolution No. 3,921, which established new rules related to the compensation of the directors and officers of financial institutions. The compensation of directors and officers may be fixed or variable. Variable compensation may be based on specific criteria set forth in CMN Resolution No. 3,921, and is required to be compatible with the financial institution’s risk management policies. At least 50.0% of variable compensation must be paid in shares or share-based instruments and at least 40.0% of variable compensation must be deferred for at least three years and is subject to clawbacks, based on the results of the institution and business unit during the period of deferral. These new rules took effect on January 1st, 2012 and are applicable to the compensation of directors and officers based on the services rendered during the year 2012. In addition, financial institutions that are publicly-held companies or required by the Central Bank to establish an audit committee must also establish a compensation committee prior to the first shareholders’ meeting of 2012. This committee must meet the requirements set out in Resolution No. 3,921.

 

On October 22, 2012, our board of directors approved a compensation policy (as amended on February 28, 2013), proposed by the compensation committee for the members of the management of Itaú Unibanco Holding and its controlled companies, in compliance with the guidelines established by CMN Resolution No 3,921 stated above.

 

Other

 

On July 28, 2011 the CMN enacted Resolution No. 3,998, supplemented by Central Bank Circular No. 3,553, both effective August 22, 2011, which require that financial institutions in Brazil register assignments of the following types of credit transactions: (i) payroll loans, and (ii) vehicle leases. Under Resolution No. 3,998, financial institutions must appoint an officer responsible for registration procedures and specified controls related to these credit transactions and the assignment thereof. The information required to be disclosed upon registration of these credit transactions and their assignment includes: (i) the name of the assignor and assignee, (ii) the name of the financial institution that granted the underlying credit, (iii) certain information regarding the credit transaction being assigned (e.g. the identity of the debtor, specified dates, any guarantees, amounts payable, installments, etc.) and (iv) details of the credit assignment transaction (e.g. amounts assigned, portion of the credit transaction subject to the assignment, specified dates, any guarantees involved). This registration must be made before a clearing house duly authorized to act as such by the Central Bank.

 

On June 13, 2012, the Central Bank approved a public consultation on two proposed new resolutions regarding: (i) the social and environmental responsibility policy of financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank, and (ii) the preparation and disclosure of a social and environmental responsibility report. The proposed resolutions, if approved, may require the consideration of social and environmental issues in the management and business strategies of financial institutions, with the objective of improving the existing regulations and improving the efficiency of the Brazilian financial system by means of sustainable development. The public consultation period ended on September 11, 2012. The Central Bank has not yet enacted the final versions of these resolutions, but is expected to do so in the near future.

 

Law No. 12,414, dated June 9, 2011, as regulated by Decree No. 7,829, dated October 17, 2012, established rules for the organization and consultation of databases compiling the credit history information of individuals and legal entities. On December 20, 2012, the Central Bank enacted Resolution No. 4,172, which regulates the provision of credit history information by financial institutions to such databases and the disclosure of such information, which are subject to the express request or authorization by the client. Financial institutions and other institutions which are subject to regulation by the Central Bank must carry out the necessary operational adjustments no later than August 1, 2013 to comply with Resolution No. 4,172.

Bank Insolvency

 

Insolvency Regime

 

Financial institution insolvency is largely a matter handled by the Central Bank. The Central Bank will commence and oversee all administrative proceedings, whether for, or in avoidance of, liquidation.

 

The insolvency of financial institutions remains governed by the specific regimes set forth in Law No. 6,024, enacted on March 13, 1974 and Presidential Decree No. 2,321, of February 25, 1987 (intervention, extrajudicial liquidation and temporary special administration regime, each of which is discussed in further detail below), and is also subject to Law No. 11,101, enacted on February 9, 2005, as amended (the “Brazilian Insolvency Law”), to the extent applicable, on an ancillary basis.

 

Intervention

 

The Central Bank may intervene in the operations of a bank in the following circumstances:

 

·If there is a material risk to creditors, resulting from mismanagement

 

·If the bank repeatedly fails to remedy material violations of the Brazilian banking laws or regulations after receiving notice from the Central Bank

 

·If intervention is an alternative to liquidation.

 

Beginning on the date it is ordered by the Central Bank, an intervention suspends claims related to the obligations of the financial institutions, prevents the early termination or maturity of obligations of the financial institution, and freezes pre-existing deposits.

 

The intervention may cease:

 

·At the discretion of the Central Bank if the controlling shareholders or interested third parties take over the administration of the financial institution under intervention after having provided the guarantees required by the Central Bank

 

·When the situation of the financial institution is regularized as determined by the Central Bank

 

·When extrajudicial liquidation or bankruptcy of the entity is ordered by the Central Bank or by the relevant courts, respectively.

 

Extrajudicial Liquidation

 

An extrajudicial liquidation of any financial institution (with the exception of public financial institutions controlled by the Brazilian government) may be carried out by the Central Bank if it can be established that:

 

·The Debts of the financial institution are not being paid when due

 

·The financial institution is deemed to be insolvent

 

·The financial institution has incurred losses that could abnormally increase the exposure of the unsecured creditors

 

·Management of the relevant financial institution has materially violated Brazilian banking laws or regulations

 

·Upon cancellation of its operating authorization, a financial institution’s ordinary liquidation proceedings are not carried out within 90 days or are carried out with a delay representing a risk to its creditors, at the Central Bank’s discretion.

 

Liquidation proceedings may otherwise be requested, on reasonable grounds, by the financial institution’s officers or by the intervener appointed by the Central Bank in the intervention proceedings.

 

85

 

Extrajudicial liquidation: (i) suspends actions or foreclosures related to the financial institution, during which time no other action or foreclosure may be commenced, (ii) accelerates the terms of its obligations, and (iii) interrupts the statute of limitations with regard to the obligations of the financial institution. In addition, interest ceases to accrue on the obligations of the financial institution until all of its its obligations to third parties are duly paid.

 

Extrajudicial liquidation proceedings may cease:

 

·At the discretion of the Central Bank if the controlling shareholder or interested third parties take over the administration of the financial institution after having provided the guarantees required by the Central Bank

 

·When the liquidator’s final accounts are rendered and approved, and subsequently filed with the competent public registry

 

·When converted to an ordinary liquidation

 

·When the financial institution is declared bankrupt.

 

Temporary Special Administration Regime

 

In addition to the aforesaid procedures, the Central Bank may also establish the RAET, which is a less severe form of Central Bank intervention in private and non-federal public financial institutions and which allows institutions to continue to operate normally. The RAET may be imposed by the Central Bank in the following circumstances:

 

·The financial institution continually participates in transactions contrary to economic and financial policies established by federal law

 

·The financial institution fails to comply with the compulsory reserve rules

 

·The financial institution has operations or circumstances which call for an intervention

 

·Illegal activities or management misconduct exists; or

 

·The institution faces a shortage of assets.

 

The main purpose of the RAET is to assist with the recovery of the financial condition of the institution under special administration. Although the RAET does not affect the day-to-day business operations, liabilities or rights of the financial institution, which continue to operate as normal, the Central Bank has the authority to order corporate reorganizations of the financial institution and its subsidiaries, including changing the corporate type, carry out mergers or other types of business consolidations, spin-off or change the control of the financial institution under this regime.

 

Deposit Insurance

 

In the event of intervention, extrajudicial liquidation or liquidation of a financial institution through bankruptcy proceedings, the Fundo Garantidor de Crédito (“FGC”), a deposit insurance system, guarantees a maximum amount of R$70,000 for certain deposits and credit instruments held by an individual, a company or another legal entity with a financial institution (or financial institutions of the same financial group). The FGC is funded principally by mandatory contributions from all Brazilian financial institutions that handle customer deposits, currently at 0.0125% of the total amount of outstanding balances of the accounts corresponding to guaranteed obligations per month, and certain special contributions, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,087, as amended. Additionally, deposits and any funds raised outside of Brazil are not guaranteed by the FGC, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,087, of May 24, 2012.

 

On April 30, 2013, the ordinary general meeting of Credit Guarantor Fund (FGC) approved the change in the maximum guarantee amount from R$ 70,000.00 to R$ 250,000.00. The new amount will be applied to future interventions or extrajudicial liquidations. CMN Resolution No. 4.087 sets forth that the amendments to the FGC’s bylaws or regulations by the general meetings should be forwarded to the Central Bank to be examined and submitted to the CMN.

 

86

 

In addition, CMN Resolution No. 4,115, of July 26, 2012, authorizes financial institutions to raise funds by means of time deposits guaranteed by the FGC up to a certain amount, provided that such deposits (i) have a minimum term of twelve months and a maximum term of thirty-six months, (ii) are not callable before their term, (iii) are backed by a secured interest over assets, and (iv) are limited to an amount assessed considering the bank’s Tier 1 reference net worth and time deposits, whichever is higher, per deposit of the same bank, limited to R$5 billion.

 

Repayment of Creditors in Liquidation

 

In the event of extrajudicial liquidation of a financial institution or liquidation of a financial institution through bankruptcy proceedings, employees’ wages and related labor claims up to a certain amount, secured credits and indemnities and tax claims enjoy the highest priority of any claims against the bankrupt estate. The payment of unsecured credit, including regular retail customer deposits not payable under the FGC, is subject to the prior payment of all secured credits and other credits to which specific laws may grant special privileges. In addition, upon payment of the deposits guaranteed by the FGC, the FGC becomes an unsecured creditor of the bankrupt estate and ranks pari passu with other unsecured creditors.

 

Brazilian Payment and Settlement System

 

The rules for the settlement of payments in Brazil are based on the guidelines adopted by the Bank of International Settlements. The Brazilian Payment and Settlement System began operating in April 2002. The Central Bank and the CVM have the power to regulate and supervise this system. Pursuant to these rules, all clearing houses are required to adopt procedures designed to reduce the possibility of systemic crises and to reduce the risks previously borne by the Central Bank. The most important principles of the Brazilian payment and settlement system are:

 

·The existence of two main payment and settlement systems: real time gross settlements, using the reserves deposited with the Central Bank, and deferred net settlements, through the clearing houses

 

·The clearing houses, with some exceptions, are liable for the payment orders they accept; and

 

·Bankruptcy laws do not affect payment orders made through the credits of clearing houses or the collateral granted to secure those orders. However, clearing houses have ordinary credits against any participant under bankruptcy laws.

 

Foreign Banks and Foreign Investments

 

Foreign Banks

 

The establishment in Brazil of new branches by foreign financial institutions (financial institutions which operate and have a head office offshore), as well as the acquisition of equity interests by foreign financial institutions in Brazilian financial institutions, is prohibited, except when duly authorized by the Brazilian government and by the Central Bank, in accordance with international treaties, the policy of reciprocity and the interest of the Brazilian government. Once authorized to operate in Brazil, a foreign financial institution is subject to the same rules, regulations and requirements that are applicable to any Brazilian financial institution.

 

Foreign Investments in Brazilian Financial Institutions

 

Foreign investment in Brazilian financial institutions by individuals or companies is permitted only if specific authorization is granted by the Brazilian government and by the Central Bank, in accordance with international treaties, the policy of reciprocity and the interest of the Brazilian government. Once authorization is granted, Brazilian law sets forth the following rules concerning foreign investment in Brazil and the remittance of capital outside of Brazil:

 

·Foreign and Brazilian investors must be treated equally, unless legislation states otherwise

 

·Any foreign entity that directly owns shares of Brazilian companies must be registered with the corporate taxpayer registry (Cadastro Nacional de Pessoa Jurídica)

 

·Foreign direct investments, repatriations and profit remittances must be registered electronically with the Central Bank

 

87

 

·The Central Bank may require that Brazilian companies provide information regarding the foreign equity interests in those Brazilian companies, and any other information in connection with the relevant foreign investment in Brazil; and

 

·Brazilian companies must provide in their financial statements relevant foreign investments, obligations and credits.

 

On December 9, 1996, a presidential decree authorized the acquisition by non-Brazilians of non-voting shares issued by Brazilian financial institutions, as well as the offering abroad of depositary receipts representing those shares. Also, since December 1996 the CMN has specifically authorized the global offering of depositary receipts representing non-voting shares of Brazilian financial institutions. Therefore, in these specific cases, authorization from the Brazilian government is not necessary. For cases involving the acquisition of shares issued by Brazilian financial institutions, foreign investors must also comply with the registration requirements with the corporate taxpayer registry and with the Central Bank, as described above.

 

On March 15, 2013, a presidential decree authorized an increase in the limit of foreign ownership of Itaú Unibanco Holding´s common shares, from 7.18% to 30%. We do not expect this to affect our corporate and control structures.

 

Internal Compliance Procedures

 

All financial institutions must have in place internal policies and procedures to control their activities, their financial, operational and management information systems, and their compliance with all regulations applicable to them.

 

Audit Committee

 

In accordance with CMN regulations, all financial institutions that (i) have regulatory capital equal to or in excess of R$1 billion, (ii) manage third-party funds of at least R$1 billion, or (iii) hold deposits and manage third-party funds with an aggregate amount of at least R$5 billion, are required to have an in-house audit committee.

 

Audit committees are required to be created under an express provision in the bylaws of the respective financial institution and are required to be composed of at least three members who should rotate every five years. At least one of the audit committee members must have proven knowledge in accountability and auditing to be qualified to the function. The members of the audit committee will only be allowed to be part of the committee again after three years following a maximum five-year office term.

 

Audit committee members of publicly held financial institutions may not: (i) be or have been in the previous twelve months (a) an officer of the institution or its affiliates, (b) an employee of the institution or its affiliates, (c) an officer, manager, supervisor, technician, or any other member of the team involved in auditing activities at the institution, or (d) a member of the institution’s fiscal council or that of its affiliates, or (ii) be a spouse or first or second-degree relative of the persons described in items (i)(a) or (i)(c).

 

Audit committee members of publicly held financial institutions are also prohibited from receiving any compensation from the institution or its affiliates other than as a member of the audit committee. In the event that an audit committee member of the institution is also a member of the board of directors of the institution or its affiliates, this member must opt for compensation related to only one of the positions.

 

Our audit committee reports to the board of directors and its principal functions are to oversee:

 

·The quality and integrity of the financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding

 

·The compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

 

·The performance, independence and quality of the services rendered by the independent auditors of Itaú Unibanco Holding

 

·The performance, independence and quality of the work performed by the internal auditors of Itaú Unibanco Holding

 

·The quality and the effectiveness of the internal controls and risk management systems of Itaú Unibanco Holding

 

88

 

·Recommendations for improvements or changes to policies and procedures; and

 

·Recommendations to the board of directors for the hiring and replacement of independent auditors.

 

According to Central Bank regulations, the audit committee is required to be a statutory body, created by a shareholders’ resolution, which is separate from the board of directors. Notwithstanding the requirement for separate corporate bodies, the members of the audit committee may be members of the board of directors, provided that they meet certain independence requirements. In addition, under Brazilian law, the hiring of the independent auditor is a function reserved exclusively for the board of directors of a company. However, Brazilian regulations permit the creation of a single audit committee for an entire group of companies.

 

Independent auditors and the audit committee must immediately notify the Central Bank of the existence or evidence of error or fraud within a maximum period of three business days from the identification of the same, including:

 

·Non-compliance with legal and regulatory norms that place the continuity of the audited entity at risk

 

·Fraud of any amount perpetrated by the administration of the institution

 

·Relevant fraud perpetrated by entity employees or third parties; and

 

·Errors that result in significant misstatements in the accounting records of the entity.

 

Exemption from Audit Committee Requirements

 

NYSE rules require that listed companies have an audit committee that: (i) is composed of a minimum of three independent directors who are all financially literate, (ii) meets the SEC rules regarding audit committees for listed companies, (iii) has at least one member who has accounting or financial management expertise, and (iv) is governed by a written charter addressing the committee’s required purpose and an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee and detailing its required responsibilities.

 

Brazilian banking law (Central Bank Resolution No. 3,198) requires us to have an audit committee of at least three members, and Brazilian Corporate Law requires us to have a fiscal council, which is composed of three to five members. Pursuant to Brazilian Corporate Law and Central Bank Resolution No. 3,198, the fiscal council members are elected at the annual shareholders’ meeting and the audit committee is elected by the board of directors from among its members and independent members, one of whom must be a financial expert. According to our bylaws, its chairman must be also a member of the board of directors.

 

According to the SEC, foreign private issuers are exempt from the audit committee requirements if the issuer meets certain criteria. We believe that our audit committee is able to act independently in performing the responsibilities of an audit committee under Sarbanes-Oxley, satisfies the other requirements of the exemption of Rule 10A-3(c)(3) and therefore is in compliance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Our audit committee, to the extent permitted under Brazilian law, performs all of the functions required of an audit committee under Rule 10A-3. As required by Brazilian law, our board of directors and audit committee are separate corporate bodies. In addition, under Brazilian law, the authority to hire independent auditors is reserved exclusively for a company’s board of directors. Therefore, our board of directors acts as our audit committee, as permitted under Rule 10A-3(c)(3)(v) of the Exchange Act, for the purpose of the appointment of our independent auditors. Our audit committee is currently composed of five members, one of whom is also member of our board of directors.

 

Regulation of Independent Auditors

 

CMN Resolution No. 3,198, of May 27, 2004, as amended, establishes the rules governing external audit services provided to financial institutions.

 

In accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,198, the financial statements and financial information of financial institutions must be audited by independent auditors who: (i) are registered with the CVM, (ii) are certified as banking experts by the CFC and IBRACON, and (iii) meet the independence requirements.

 

In order to maintain their banking certification, the responsible partner and the audit team members with management duties must: (i) perform independent audits of financial institutions and attend a continuing professional education program, or (ii) pass a new exam organized by the CFC and the IBRACON within a period not to exceed three years of the last approval.

 

89

 

At least every five consecutive fiscal years, the responsible partner and the audit team members with management duties must rotate. Former auditors may only be re-engaged after three fiscal years have passed since their last engagement.

 

CMN Resolution No. 3,198 also prohibits the engagement and maintenance of independent auditors by financial institutions in the event that: (i) any of the circumstances of impediment or incompatibility for the provision of audit services provided for in the rules and regulations of the CVM, CFC or IBRACON arise, (ii) any ownership shares of capital or any financial operation, asset or liability in the audited financial institution held by the audit firm or members of the audit team involved in the audit work of the financial institution exists, or (iii) the payment of fees represents at least 25.0% or more of the total annual fees of the independent auditor. Additionally, the audited institution is prohibited from hiring partners and audit team members in management positions that were involved in audit work for the financial institution within the past 12 months.

 

In connection with the audit work for the financial institution, in addition to the audit report, the independent auditor must prepare the following reports:

 

·An assessment of the internal control and risk management procedures of the financial institution, including the electronic data processing system, showing any deficiencies found; and

 

·A description of any non-compliance with legal and regulatory provisions that have, or may have, a significant impact on the audited financial statements or operations of the audited financial institution.

 

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

 

Under Brazilian law, our financial statements must be prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP. Financial institutions must have their financial statements audited every six months. Quarterly financial statements filed with the CVM must be reviewed by a financial institution’s independent auditors. CVM Rule No. 381 requires public companies, including financial institutions, to disclose information relating to other services rendered by independent auditors, other than the audit of the financial statements if these other services represent 5.0% or more of the fees paid to the independent accounting firm. The information to be disclosed in this circumstance includes type of service, the amount paid, and percentage it represents of the fees paid for the audit of the financial statements.

 

Regulation of Presentation of Financial Statements

 

CMN Resolution No. 2,723, of May 31, 2000, as amended, establishes certain rules on the consolidation of financial statements by financial institutions. According to this Resolution, financial institutions, except for credit unions, are required to prepare their financial statements on a consolidated basis, including investments in companies in which they hold, directly or indirectly, solely or jointly: (i) the right to nominate or designate a majority of the company’s board of directors, (ii) the right to appoint or dismiss the majority of the officers and directors of the company, or (iii) operational or corporate control. This resolution is applied by the Central Bank to us on a group-wide basis.

 

Rules Governing the Collection of Bank and Credit Card Fees

 

The collection of bank fees and commission is extensively regulated by the CMN and by the Central Bank. CMN Resolution No. 3,919, effective March 1, 2011, amended the existing rules seeking standardization of the collection of bank fees and the cost of credit transactions for individuals. According to these rules, bank services to individuals are divided into the following four groups: (i) essential services, (ii) priority services, (iii) special services, and (iv) specific or differentiated services. Banks are not able to collect fees in exchange for supplying essential services to individuals with regard to checking accounts, such as: (i) supplying a debit card, (ii) supplying ten checks per month to accountholders who meet the requirements to use checks, as per the applicable rules, (iii) supplying a second debit card (except in cases of loss, theft, damage and other reasons not caused by the bank), (iv) up to four withdrawals per month, which can be made at a branch of the bank, using checks or in ATM terminals, (v) supplying up to two statements describing the transactions during the month, to be obtained through branch counters or ATM terminals, (vi) inquiries over the internet, (vii) up to two transfers of funds between accounts held by the same bank, per month, at a branch counter, through ATM terminals or over the internet, (viii) clearance of checks, and (ix) supplying, by February 28th of each year, a consolidated statement describing, on a month-by-month basis, the fees charged over the preceding year with regard to checking accounts and savings accounts. Certain services rendered to individuals with regard to savings accounts also fall under the category of essential services and, therefore, are exempt from the payment of fees. CMN Resolution No. 3,919 prohibits banks from collecting fees for supplying essential services in connection with deposit and savings accounts where clients agree to access and use their accounts by electronic means only. In the case of these exclusively electronic deposit and savings accounts, banks are only authorized to collect fees for supplying essential services when the client voluntarily elects to obtain personal services at the bank’s branches or client service locations.

 

90

 

Priority services are those rendered to individuals with regard to checking accounts, transfers of funds, credit transactions, leasing, standard credit cards and records, and are subject to the collection of fees by the financial institutions only if the service and its nomenclature are listed in Appendix I. CMN Resolution No. 3,919 also states that commercial banks must offer to their individual clients a “standardized package” of priority services, whose content is defined by Appendix II to this resolution. Banking clients must have the option to acquire individual services, instead of adhering to the whole package.

 

The collection of fees in exchange for the supply of special services (including, among others, services relating to rural credit, currency exchange market and onward lending of funds from the real estate financial system, for example) are still governed by the specific provisions found in the laws and regulations relating to such services.

 

The regulation authorizes financial institutions to collect fees for the performance of specific or differentiated services, provided that the account holder or user is informed of the conditions of use and payment, or the fee and charging method are defined in the contract. Some of the specific or differentiated services are: (i) the approval of signatures, (ii) management of investment funds, (iii) rental of safe deposit boxes, (iv) courier services, (v) custody and brokerage services, (vi) endorsement of clients’ debts (aval/guarantee), (vii) pledging of credit instruments, and (viii) foreign currency exchange, among others.

 

Other changes included in CMN Resolution No. 3,919 are: (i) a prohibition against charging fees for amending adhesion contracts, except in the cases of asset replacement in leasing transactions and early liquidation or amortization, cancelation or termination of agreements, (ii) prohibition against including services related to credit cards and other services not subject to fees in service packages that include priority, special and/or differentiated services, (iii) subscription to service packages must be through a separate contract, (iv) information given to the customer with respect to a service package must include the value of each service included in the package, the number of times that each service may be utilized per month, and the total price of the package, (v) a customer’s annual banking statement must separately identify default interest, penalties and other costs charged on loans and leasing transactions, (vi) registration fees cannot be cumulatively charged, (vii) overdraft fees can be charged, at most, once for the last 30 days.

 

CMN Resolution No. 3,919 also establishes new rules applicable to credit cards, including types of fees that can be charged for services rendered by financial institutions, information to be disclosed in credit card invoices and agreements, and the creation of two types of credit cards: (i) basic credit cards with certain basic services, which are classified as a priority service, and (ii) differentiated credit cards, with rewards and other benefits to the consumer, which are classified as a differentiated service. In addition, Central Bank Circular No. 3,512, of November 25, 2010, as amended, established a minimum amount that credit card holders must pay monthly on outstanding credit card balances, which is 15.0%.

 

In addition, CMN regulations establish that debits related to the collection of fees must be charged to a bank account only if there are sufficient funds to cover the debits in the account, thus forbidding overdrafts caused by the collection of banking fees. Furthermore, a minimum of 30 days notice must precede any increase or creation of fees, while fees related to priority services and the “standardized package” can be increased only after 180 days from the date of the last increase (whereas reductions can take place at any time). With respect to credit cards, a minimum of 45 days’ notice is required for any increase or creation of fees, and these fees can only be increased after 365 days from the date of last increase. The period of 365 days is also applicable to changes in rewards or benefit program rules.

 

Finally, CMN Resolution No. 3,919 also established that, from March 2012, financial institutions must supply, by February 28th of each year, a consolidated statement describing, on a month-by-month basis, the fees, interest, late fees, fines and other expenses charged over the preceding year with respect to any credit and leasing transactions.

Regulation of Internet and Electronic Commerce

 

Although Brazil does not have comprehensive legislation regulating electronic commerce, since 2001 the legal validity of electronic documents in Brazil is ruled by Provisional Measure No. 2,200, which establishes a government controlled digital certification system, aimed at guaranteeing the authenticity, integrity and legal validity of electronic documents and ensuring the security of electronic transactions. However, there are currently several bills relating to internet and electronic commerce regulations before the Brazilian Congress. The proposed legislation, if enacted, will reinforce the legal effect, validity and enforceability of information in the form of electronic messages, allowing parties to enter into an agreement, make an offer and accept one through electronic messages.

 

Considering the increasing use of electronic channels in the Brazilian banking sector, the CMN enacted Resolution No. 2,817 on February 22, 2001, as amended by CMN Resolution No. 2,953, of April, 25, 2002, allowing Brazilian residents to open deposit bank accounts by electronic means, which includes the internet, ATM machines, telephone and other communication channels. This regulation sets forth specific rules on the opening and use of bank accounts via electronic means, including: (i) the requirements contained in CMN Resolution No. 2,025, of November 24, 1993, for verification of the identity of the customer, and (ii) transfers of amounts are allowed only between accounts of the same account holders or, in the event of liquidation of investment products and funds, to an account held by the holders of the investment products/funds.

 

On March 26, 2009, the CMN enacted Resolution No. 3,694 requiring that all financial institutions offering products and services to their clients through electronic means must guarantee the security, secrecy and reliability in all electronic transactions and disclose, in clear and precise terms, the risks and responsibilities of the products or services acquired through such channels.

 

In addition, the Central Bank also permits, under CMN Resolution No. 3,919, the opening of deposit bank and savings accounts.

 

On November 30, 2012, in order to address cybersecurity issues, the Brazilian government enacted Law No. 12,737, which added the crime of computer hacking to the Brazilian Penal Code, describing the conduct of invading another person’s computing device, connected to a network or not, in violation of security mechanisms and obtaining, tampering with or destroying data or information without express or implied consent of the device’s owner, or installing anything in order to gain an unfair advantage.

 

Anti-Money Laundering Regulations

 

The Brazilian anti-money laundering law (Law No. 9,613, enacted on March 3, 1998, as amended by Law No. 12,683, enacted on July 9, 2012 - the “AML Law”), establishes as a crime to hide or disguise the nature, origin, location, disposal, movement or ownership of goods, rights or finances coming, directly or indirectly, from criminal acts, subject to imprisonment from three to ten years and a financial penalty.

 

The AML Law also created the Council of Control of Financial Activities (Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras or “COAF”), which is the Brazilian financial intelligence unit that operates under the Ministry of Finance. COAF has a central role in the Brazilian system of combating money laundering and terrorism financing, and legal responsibility to coordinate mechanisms for international cooperation and information exchange.

 

According to the AML Law and complementary regulations enacted by the Central Bank, including the procedures that must be adopted by financial institutions for the prevention and combating of money laundering and terrorism financing, as a response to the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”), financial institutions must have internal policies and internal controls procedures in order to:

 

·Identify and know their customers, which includes determining whether the customer is a Politically-Exposed Person (“PEP”), as well as identifying the beneficial owners in the related transaction, if any. These records must be kept up to date

 

·Verify the compatibility between funds movement and a client’s economical and financial capability

 

·Verify the source of funds

 

·Prepare an analysis of new products and services with respect to anti-money laundering issues

 

·Maintain records of all financial services or transactions held on behalf of, or for, a customer. The record system must allow the identification of: (i) any transaction or series of transactions involving amounts that exceed R$10,000 and belong to the same customer, conglomerate or group, in one calendar month, and (ii) operations that reveal a pattern of activity that suggests a scheme to avoid identification

 

92

 

·Pay special attention to (i) unusual transactions, or proposed transactions, in terms of the parties involved, amounts, forms of execution and the instruments used, or that have no apparent economic or legal basis, (ii) transactions or proposed transactions involving PEPs, persons from Brazil and countries with which Brazil has a high number of financial and commercial transactions or countries bordering Brazil or with ethnic, linguistic or political ties to Brazil, (iii) evidence of fraud in customer or transaction identification, (iv) customers or transactions involving unidentifiable beneficial owners, (v) operations originating from or destined to countries that do not fully comply the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations, and (vi) situations where it is not possible to keep a customer’s identification records up to date. Financial institutions must have enhanced monitoring programs, check if a certain customer or transaction must be reported to COAF and evaluate if they want to begin or maintain a relationship with a customer

 

·Inform COAF within one business day of any transaction that is considered suspect by the financial institution, including all cash transactions equal to or above R$100,000, without informing the involved person or any third party

 

·Keep the records referred to above for at least five years or ten years, depending on the nature of information, even after ending a customer relationship or closing a transaction

 

·Define criteria for employee hiring and carry out employee anti-money laundering training

 

·Establish that anti-money laundering procedures must be complied with by branches and subsidiaries of Brazilian financial institutions located abroad

 

·Establish that the institutions authorized to operate in the Brazilian foreign exchange market with financial institutions located abroad must verify whether the foreign financial institution is physically located in the jurisdiction where it has been organized and licensed, and is object of effective supervision

 

·Monitor transactions and situations which could be considered suspicious for money laundering purposes, aiming to enable the financial institution to properly report the suspicious activity to the COAF

 

·Report to COAF the occurrence of transactions as required under applicable regulations, and also whenever such transactions are not verified

 

·Require clients to inform the financial institution, at least one business day in advance, of their intention to withdraw amounts equal to or exceeding R$ 100,000, and

 

·Ensure that policies, procedures and internal controls are commensurate with their size and volume of operations.

 

Non-compliance with any of the obligations indicated above subjects the financial institution and its managers to the following penalties: (i) formal notice, (ii) fines (from 1.0% to 200.0% of the amount of the transaction, 200.0% of the profit generated thereby, or a fine of up to R$20,000,000), (iii) rendering its managers temporarily ineligible, for up to ten years, for the exercise of any functions in financial institutions, and (iv) the revocation of the financial institution’s license to operate.

 

Politically-Exposed Persons

 

PEPs are public agents who occupy or have occupied a relevant public function (for example heads of state or of government, senior politicians, senior government, judicial or military officials, senior executives of state owned corporations, important political party officials and current or past senior managers of international organizations of any nature), over the past five years, in Brazil or other countries, territories and foreign jurisdictions, as well as their family members and close associates. Financial institutions must develop and implement internal procedures to identify PEPs and obtain special approval from a more senior staff member than otherwise would be authorized to approve relationships, such as directors, prior to establishing any relationship with those individuals. They must also adopt reinforced and continuous surveillance actions with regard to transactions with PEPs and report all suspicious transactions to COAF.

 

93

 

Banking Secrecy

 

Financial institutions must maintain the secrecy of their banking operations and services provided to their customers. The only circumstances in which information about clients, services or operations of Brazilian financial institutions or credit card companies may be disclosed to third parties are the following: (i) the disclosure of information with the express consent of the interested parties, (ii) the exchange of information between financial institutions for recording purposes, (iii) the provision to credit reference agencies of information based on data from the records of subscribers of checks drawn on accounts without sufficient funds and defaulting debtors, (iv) the provision by financial institutions and credit card companies to the competent authorities of information relating to the occurrence of, or suspicions as to a criminal or other unlawful act, (v) as otherwise expressly allowed by Supplementary Law No. 105, of January 10, 2001, and (vi) the disclosure of information in compliance with a judicial order. Supplementary Law No. 105 also allows the Central Bank or the CVM to exchange information with foreign government authorities pursuant to an existing treaty.

 

Finally, a breach of bank confidentiality may be ordered by a judicial authority when necessary to investigate any torts or crimes. With the exception of instances permitted by Supplementary Law No. 105 and other instances permitted by judicial order, a breach of bank confidentiality is a crime punishable by one to four years of confinement, and a fine.

 

The Consumer Defense Code and Banking Client Protection Regulation

 

On September 11, 1990, the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor, or “CDC”), was enacted to establish rules for consumer protection, and governs the relationship between product and service providers and consumers. After a long controversy over the extent to which the CDC applies to financial services, the Brazilian Supreme Court decided in a final judgment that the CDC also applies to transactions between financial institutions and their clients. Based on this decision, CMN and the Central Bank focused their regulation and supervisory role on issues that are specific to financial services, which includes: (i) ombudsman services organized as a free communication channel between customers and financial institutions under the supervision of an ombudsman officer (CMN Resolution No. 3,849), (ii) early liquidation of loans (CMN Resolution No. 3,516), (iii) standards for disclosure and transparency requirements for consumer credit products and financial services, such as the total cost of credit transactions (CMN Resolution No. 3,517) (iv) liability prevention and control in financial transactions (CMN Resolution No. 3,694) (v) collection of bank fees and commission (CMN Resolution No 3,919).

 

Besides the banking client protection regulations enforced by CMN and the Central Bank, the basic consumer rights guaranteed by the CDC regarding the relationship between financial institutions and their clients include: (i) the imposition of a reverse burden of proof in court, (ii) financial institutions must ensure that customers are fully aware of all contractual clauses, including responsibilities and penalties applicable to both parties, in order to protect against abusive practices, (iii) financial institutions are prohibited from releasing misleading or abusive publicity or information about their contracts or services, (iv) financial institutions are liable for any damages caused to their customers by misrepresentations in their publicity or information provided, and (v) interest charges in connection with personal credit and consumer directed credit transactions must be proportionally reduced in the event of early payment of debts.

 

With respect to the consumer’s rights, Decree No. 6,523, of July 31, 2008, directed the CDC to establish general rules on Customer Service Assistance (Serviço de Atendimento ao Consumidor), by phone for information, clarification of doubts, complaints, and agreements regarding suspension or cancellation, and Law No. 11,785, enacted on September 22, 2008, amended CDC Article 54 to define that in adhesion agreements, the font size may not be smaller than size 12.

 

Antitrust Regulations

 

A new Brazilian Antitrust law (Law No. 12,529) was enacted on November 30, 2011 and became effective with respect to transactions consummated from May 30, 2012. According to the new regime, transactions resulting in economic concentration must be previously submitted to CADE for approval if any of the parties had, in the last fiscal year, gross revenue of R$750 million or more and the other party had gross revenue of R$75 million or more in the same period. The closing of a transaction before its approval by CADE subjects the parties to fines ranging from R$60,000 to R$60 million, and the relevant agreement may be deemed void.

 

94

 

Financial conglomerates submit merger and acquisition transactions in various industries, including the insurance and pension plan industries, for CADE’s approval. In addition, merger and acquisition transactions in the banking industry must be submitted to the Central Bank for antitrust review, as confirmed by Circular No. 3,590 issued by the Central Bank on April 26, 2012, which sets forth that the Central Bank will examine corporate reorganizations and other acts involving two or more financial institutions, considering their potential effects on the financial system and its stability, but also any potential impacts regarding market concentration and competition. Upon approval of the transaction, the Central Bank may establish certain restrictions and require that the financial institutions execute an agreement regarding market concentration control, pursuant to which the terms and conditions of the sharing of the efficiency gain resulting from the act will be set forth.

 

Since 2010, a dispute has been under review in the Federal Supreme Court as to the exclusive authority of the Central Bank to review and approve merger and acquisition transactions involving financial institutions.

 

Asset Management Regulation

 

Asset management is regulated by the CMN and the CVM. The CMN and CVM regulations stipulate that institutions must segregate their asset management activities from their other activities.

 

Certain investment funds within the asset management industry, such as private equity investment funds, are also regulated by ANBIMA, which enacts additional rules and policies, especially with respect to the offering, marketing and advertising of financial products and services.

 

Investment funds are subject to the regulation and supervision of the CVM and are managed by companies authorized by the CVM to manage investment fund portfolios. Investment funds may invest in instruments available in the financial and capital markets, including fixed income instruments, stocks, debentures and derivative products, provided that, in addition to the denomination of the fund, a reference to the relevant type of fund is included.

 

According to CVM Instruction No. 409 of August 18, 2004, as amended, investment funds may be classified as: (i) short term funds, (ii) referenced funds, (iii) fixed income funds, (iv) stock funds, (v) exchange funds, (vi) external debt funds, and (vii) multi-market funds.

 

Investment funds are subject to certain restrictions with respect to the composition of their portfolios and the classification of their investors, including, among other things, restrictions on the types of securities, financial assets and operations, limits per issuer and limits by type of financial assets. Such restrictions are set forth in the CVM regulations.

 

In addition, the CVM regulations establish criteria for the registration and accounting evaluation of titles, securities, financial instruments and derivatives held by investment funds. Pursuant to these regulations, fund managers must mark their securities to market, and hence, the fund’s portfolio assets must be accounted for at their fair market value, instead of their expected yield to maturity.

 

The CVM has also enacted rules to regulate private equity funds, credit rights investment funds, real estate investment funds and other specified investment funds. The rules of CVM Instruction No. 409 are applicable to each and every investment fund registered with the CVM to the extent they are not contrary to the specific rules applicable to such funds.

 

Leasing Regulations

 

The basic legal framework governing leasing transactions is established by Law No. 6,099, of September 12, 1974, as amended, Ordinance No. 564 of November 3, 1978 of the Ministry of Finance and the regulations issued thereunder by the CMN from time to time, in particular CMN Resolution No. 2,309 of August 28, 1996.

 

Law No. 6,099, as amended, sets forth the general guidelines for the tax treatment of leasing transactions and provides that all leasing transactions are subject to the control and supervision of the Central Bank according to standards established by the National Monetary Council. CMN Resolution No. 2,309 sets out the types of leasing, the legal requirements of a leasing contract and other relevant guidelines applicable to the product. The Ministry of Finance’s Ordinance No. 564 establishes the loss/profit recognition, for the purpose of the taxation of leasing transactions, and, in particular, establishes that the guaranteed residual amount of a leasing transaction is the value contractually guaranteed by the leaseholder as a minimum that will be received by the lessor after the sale of the leasehold item to a third party, if the purchase option is not exercised. Furthermore, the laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions, such as those related to reporting requirements, capital adequacy and leverage, assets composition limits and treatment of doubtful loans, are generally also applicable to leasing companies.

Taxation

 

We describe below the main corporate taxes that may impact financial transactions entered into by the companies of the Itaú Unibanco Group, as well as a description of the main taxes on financial transactions.

 

Overview

 

The table below summarizes the main taxes imposed on our activities:

 

Tax

Rate

Calculation of Taxable Profit

IRPJ   15.0% plus 10.0%   Net income with adjustments (exclusions, additions, and deductions)
CSLL   15.0% or 9.0%   Net income with adjustments (exclusions, additions, and deductions)
COFINS   4.0%   Gross revenue minus specific deductions
PIS   0.65%   Gross revenue minus specific deductions

Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution on Profits

 

Currently, Brazilian companies are subject to the corporate income tax (Imposto de Renda da Pessoa Juridica or “IRPJ”) and the social contribution on profits (Contribuição Social Sobre o Lucro Liquido or “CSLL”).

 

According to the tax regime adopted by each company, the IRPJ and CSLL may be imposed on an adjusted tax basis (taxable income regime), which is subject to adjustments (deductions, additions and exclusions) upon the ascertainment of the tax due at the end of the fiscal year (e.g. operating costs, expenses, provisions and equity accounting).

 

The IRPJ is imposed at a rate of 15.0% and a surtax of 10.0% is applicable when the total amount of profit exceeds R$20,000 per month or R$240,000 per year (imposing a total rate of 25.0% on the amount of profit exceeding R$20,000 per month).

 

The CSLL is generally imposed at a rate of 9.0%. Law No. 11,727, of June 23, 2008, established that as of May 1, 2008, the CSLL rate on income of financial, insurance and similar companies would increased to 15.0%. The following companies are considered financial, insurance and similar companies for this purpose: private insurance and capitalization companies, banks of any type, securities underwriters, foreign exchange and securities brokerages, credit, financing and investment companies, real estate loan companies, credit card management companies, leasing companies, credit cooperatives and savings and loan associations. The increased CSLL rate is applicable to us and to many of our subsidiaries and affiliates. Brazilian financial institutions, including us, are disputing the constitutionality of a higher CSLL tax rate that applies only to financial, insurance and similar companies. The amounts in dispute are accounted for as a tax liability provision in our balance sheet.

 

Brazilian companies can offset the historical nominal amounts of tax losses against the results of subsequent years at any time (i.e. with no time limitations), provided that this offsetting does not exceed 30.0% of the annual taxable income of any one future year.

 

Companies pay the IRPJ and CSLL taxes based on their worldwide income rather than on income solely from Brazilian operations. Therefore, profits, capital gains and other income obtained abroad by Brazilian entities will be computed in the determination of their net income. In addition, profits, capital gains and other income from foreign branches or income from subsidiaries or foreign corporations controlled by a Brazilian entity will also be computed in the calculation of this entity’s profits, in proportion to its participation in these foreign companies’ capital. The Brazilian company is allowed to deduct income tax paid abroad, up to the amount of the Brazilian income taxes imposed on this income.

Taxation of Profit Distribution

 

Dividends paid by a Brazilian company are currently not subject to withholding income tax (Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte or “IRRF”) in Brazil to the extent that these amounts are related to profits generated on or after January 1, 1996. Dividends paid from profits generated before January 1, 1996 may be subject to IRRF at varying rates, according to the tax legislation applicable to the corresponding year.

 

Law No. 9,249 of December 26, 1995, as amended, allows a Brazilian corporation to make, instead of dividend distributions, distributions that are treated as interest on net equity (juros sobre o capital próprio) and that constitute deductible expenses for the purposes of calculating the IRPJ and CSLL. These distributions may be paid in cash. For tax purposes, this interest is limited to the daily average of the Brazilian long-term interest rate (Taxa de Juros a Longo Prazo or“TJLP” ), as determined by the Central Bank, over the taxable year, and the amount of payments and deductions may not exceed the greater of: (i) 50.0% of net income (after the deduction of CSLL, but before taking into account the amount of such interest on net equity and the provision for IRPJ) for the period in respect of which the payment is made, or (ii) 50.0% of the sum of retained profits and profit reserves.

 

Any payment of interest on net equity is subject to withholding income tax at the rate of 15.0%, or 25.0% in the case of a shareholder who is resident or domiciled in a tax haven jurisdiction. These payments may be qualified, at their net value, as part of any mandatory dividend.

 

Taxes on Revenue – Contribution on Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Social Security Financing Contribution (“COFINS”)

 

In addition to IRPJ and CSLL, Brazilian companies are subject to the following taxes on revenue: Contribution on Social Integration Program (Contribuição Para o Programa da Integração Social or “PIS”) and Social Security Financing Contribution (Contribuição Social Para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social or “COFINS”).

 

According to Law 9,718 of November 27, 1998, as amended, financial institutions must pay contributions to PIS at a rate of 0.65% and to COFINS at a rate of 4.0%. In general, PIS and COFINS are charged on companies’ gross revenue, with some exemptions. In the case of financial institutions, certain additional deductions are provided by law so that the taxation basis is similar to the gross profit margin. Certain of our financial subsidiaries are currently claiming that the PIS and COFINS should be levied only on their revenue from the sale of goods and services, and not on revenue from financial and other activities. The amounts in dispute are accounted for as a tax liability provision on our balance sheet.

 

Most non-financial companies that calculate IRPJ and CSLL based on the taxable income regime are required to calculate PIS and COFINS contributions according to the non-cumulative regime. Under this regime, PIS is imposed at a rate of 1.65% and COFINS is imposed at a rate of 7.6%. The calculation basis of these contributions is the gross revenue earned by the company. However, the taxpayer can offset credits arising from the application of the same rates to the value paid for the purchase of certain inputs used in the production process of the company. Currently, under the non-cumulative regime, financial income (except, for example, income from interest on net equity and hedges) of non-financial companies is not subject to PIS and COFINS.

 

Service Tax

 

The tax on services (Imposto Sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza or “ISS”) is generally imposed on the price of value of services rendered (e.g., bank services) and charged by the municipality where our branch or office that renders the service is located. The tax rates vary from 2.0% up to the maximum rate of 5.0%, depending on the municipality.

 

Tax on Financial Transactions

 

The tax on financial transactions (Imposto Sobre Operações de Crédito, Câmbio e Seguro, e Sobre Operações Relativas a Títulos e Valores Mobiliários or “IOF”) is imposed on foreign exchange, insurance, credit, securities and derivatives transactions. The IOF rate may be changed by a decree from the executive branch (which is generally effective as of its publication date) rather than a law.

 

The IOF on foreign exchange transactions (“IOF/FX”) tax is imposed on several foreign exchange transactions. Its applicable rates may be increased up to 25.0%. However, the IOF/FX tax rates imposed on foreign exchange transactions have recently been modified and are currently imposed at a rate of 0.38%, with the following important exceptions:

 

97

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of 6.0% on the inflow of funds to Brazil deriving from, or for, loans, including the issue of notes in the international market, whose average minimum payment term is no longer than 360 days (if the average minimum term of the loan is longer than 360 days, and for foreign financing the IOF/FX rate is zero)

 

·The IOF/FX is imposed at a rate of 6.0% on the inflow of funds into Brazil in connection with the settlement of foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors, including simultaneous foreign exchange transactions, with the purpose of investing in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, except, for example, for the transactions set out below

 

·The IOF/FX is imposed at a rate of zero on the inflow of funds into Brazil in connection with the settlement of foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors that involve variable income investments on stock exchanges or on futures and commodities exchanges, in compliance with the regulations issued by the CMN, except for derivative transactions giving rise to predetermined income

 

·The IOF/FX is imposed at a rate of zero on the inflow of funds into Brazil from December 1, 2011 in connection with the settlement of foreign exchange transactions by foreign investors for the purchase of shares as a result of public offerings registered or exempt from registration with the CVM or for the subscription of shares, provided that in each case the issuer is a publicly-held company whose shares are permitted to be traded in a stock exchange

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of zero on the inflow of funds into Brazil in connection with the settlement of foreign exchange transactions carried out on or after December 1, 2011 by a foreign investor, including simultaneous foreign exchange transactions, to purchase units in private equity funds (Fundo de Investimento em Participações or “FIP”) or emerging companies funds (Fundo de Investimento em Empresas Emergentes or “FIEE”), as well as units in investment funds that invest in units of FIPs and FIEEs that are established in accordance with the regulations issued by CVM

 

·The IOF/FX is imposed at a rate of zero on the outflow of funds from Brazil in connection with the settlement of foreign exchange transactions for the purpose of repatriating the funds of foreign investors out of the Brazilian financial and capital markets, with some exceptions

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of zero on the outflow of funds from Brazil in connection with foreign exchange transactions for the remittance of interest on net equity and dividends earned by foreign investors

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of zero on the inflow of funds into Brazil from December 1, 2011, deriving from the cancelling of depositary receipts to invest in shares tradable in a stock exchange

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of 6.38% on foreign exchange transactions in accordance with obligations of credit card management companies or commercial or multiple banks, as credit card issuers, and deriving from the purchase of goods and services made abroad by their credit card users

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of zero on the inflow of funds into Brazil in connection with the acquisition of publicly-traded bonds and securities acquired on or after January 1, 2011, provided some conditions are met

 

·The IOF/FX tax is imposed at a rate of zero on the inflow of funds into Brazil in connection with the acquisition of Brazilian Depositary Receipts and on the acquisition of units of real estate investment funds (Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário or “FII”) acquired on or after January 31, 2013, in compliance with the regulations issued by the CMN.

 

Depending upon the type of inflow of foreign funds into Brazil, the IOF/FX may be levied on both the outflow and inflow of funds. It may also be levied when the type of investment is changed. In many cases, the outflow and inflow of funds will require simultaneous foreign exchange transactions.

 

98

 

The IOF tax is also imposed on insurance transactions upon the receipt of a premium (“IOF/Insurance”). In insurance transactions, the IOF/Insurance tax will be imposed at a highest rate of 25.0%. Currently, the rates imposed vary from 0.0% to 7.38% depending on the type of insurance purchased.

 

The IOF tax is also imposed on credit transactions, including financing, discounts and factoring (“IOF/Credit”). Currently, in most credit transactions, individuals and companies pay IOF/Credit at a rate of 0.0041% per day, until the total amount of IOF/Credit due reaches a limit of 1.5% within a period of 365 days. An additional IOF/Credit tax at a rate of 0.38% is also imposed on any credit transactions.

 

The IOF tax is also imposed on the acquisition, assignment, redemption, renegotiation or payment for settlement of securities, even though these transactions are carried out on stock, commodities and futures exchanges (“IOF/Securities”). The rate of the IOF/Securities with respect to many securities transactions is currently 0.0%, although certain transactions may be subject to specified rates. The President has the legal authority to increase the rate to a maximum of 1.5% of the amount of the taxed transaction per day for the period during which the investor holds the securities, up to the amount equal to the gain on the transaction. Currently, there is a short-term IOF/Securities tax on fixed income and investments in fund quotas with a holding period of less than 30 days. If the investor sells, redeems, assigns, resells or renews fixed income and investments in fund quotas within 30 days of the original investment, IOF/Securities is levied at a rate of 1.0% per day, with certain maximum limits based on a regressive percentage of the total fixed income gain for a security reaching zero and for a maturity equal to or higher than 30 days. Finally, the IOF/Securities tax is levied at a rate of 1.5% on the assignment of shares traded in the Brazilian stock market in order to permit the issue of depositary receipts to be negotiated overseas.

 

On July 27, 2011, the Brazilian government enacted Decree No. 7,536, which introduced a tax on securities transactions (“IOF/Securities-Derivatives”) at the rate of 1.0% on the notional adjusted value of financial derivatives, the value of which is affected by exchange rates and which results in an increase in the net sold exposure of the holder. On the same date, the Brazilian government enacted Provisional Measure No. 539, which sets forth that institutions authorized to register derivative contracts will be responsible for charging and collecting the IOF/Securities-Derivatives amounts due.

 

According to Decree No. 7,563, enacted on September 15, 2011, the IOF/Securities-Derivatives taxpayer is the holder of the derivative contract, but the entities or institutions authorized to register the derivative contracts are responsible for the calculation and collection of this tax. In the event it is not possible for them to calculate and collect the IOF/Securities-Derivatives due from the taxpayer, these entities and institutions must provide the necessary information for the calculation of the tax base, through intermediaries and authorized participants, by the tenth business day of the month following the occurrence of a taxable event to: (i) the taxpayer resident or domiciled in Brazil, (ii) the legal representative of the taxpayer resident or domiciled abroad, and (iii) the manager of funds and investment clubs. On November 3, 2011, the Brazilian Revenue Office enacted Normative Ruling No. 1,207, which further regulated the terms, conditions and tax base of the IOF/Securities-Derivatives.

 

On December 8, 2011, Provisional Measure No. 539 was converted into Law No. 12,543, which further provides that legal entities that carry out export transactions may deduct from their IOF due the amount of IOF/Securities-Derivatives assessed on derivatives hedging transactions or, in the event thay such discount is not possible, such entities may require a refund or offset against other federal taxes and certain social contributions. Law No. 12,543 also grandfathered the IOF/Securities-Derivatives assessment for taxable events between July 27 and September 15, 2011. On December 27, 2011, the Ministry of Finance enacted Ruling No. 560, which postponed to January 31, 2012 the collection of the IOF/Securities-Derivatives assessed from September 16 to December 31, 2011. Under Brazilian law, the Brazilian government is authorized to increase the IOF/Securities-Derivatives rate up to 25.0% of the notional adjusted value at any time. IOF/Securities-Derivatives may be subject to further regulation and the related rules may be changed.

 

On March 15, 2012, Decree 7,699 reduced to zero the IOF/Securities-Derivatives on: (i) derivatives transactions for hedging purposes, related to export contracts celebrated by individuals or companies who are resident or domiciled in Brazil, and (ii) all other financial derivatives transactions which do not result in an increase in the net sold exposure of the holder.

 

The table below summarizes the IOF tax which is imposed on financial transactions (such as foreign exchange, insurance transactions, credit or those transactions related to securities), as explained above. For a more detailed analysis, investors should consult their tax advisers.

Income Taxes Imposed on Financial Investments

 

Foreign investors that receive payments derived from Brazilian sources, or gains related to Brazilian assets, will be subject to Brazilian income tax. Under Brazilian law, income tax on capital gains and income from financial transactions carried out in the Brazilian financial and capital markets vary depending on the domicile or residence of the investor, the type of registration of the investment held by the investor with the Central Bank and the manner in which the transaction is carried out.

 

For foreign investors who invested in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 2,689 of January 26, 2000, and are not located in a jurisdiction considered a “tax haven jurisdiction” , the income tax is imposed, in general, pursuant to a special regime, as follows:

 

·Capital gains from the sale of stock on Brazilian stock exchanges or income derived from derivatives traded on the Brazilian stock and future exchanges are exempted, except if related to combined transactions in derivatives with a predetermined income

 

·Income tax will be imposed at a rate of 10.0% on income from stock funds, swaps and other transactions on futures market not carried out through a Brazilian stock exchange; and

 

·Income tax will be imposed at a rate of 15.0% on income from all other fixed income investments made through a Brazilian stock exchange or over-the-counter market, and on gains earned therefrom.

Foreign investors that have invested in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 2,689, and are located in a tax haven jurisdiction are subject to income tax, in general, pursuant to the rules applicable to Brazilian individuals, as follows:

 

·On income from financial transactions (variable income) at a rate of 15.0%

 

·On fixed income, including from public bonds, at rates varying from 22.5% to 15.0% (the rates vary depending on the transaction type and terms); and

 

·Income from other long and short-term investment funds at rates varying from 22.5% to 15.0%, depending on the investment period.

 

The table below is a summary of the income tax on foreign investments in the Brazilian financial and capital markets located in non-tax haven jurisdictions and tax haven jurisdictions. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to investments in Brazil. For a more detailed analysis prospective investors should consult their tax advisers.

Finally, Provisional Measure No. 517 of December 31, 2010, converted into Law 12,431 of June 24, 2011, as amended by Law 12,715, of September 17, 2012, provides that income from publicly-traded bonds and securities acquired as at January 1, 2011, of non-resident investors that are not resident or domiciled in tax haven jurisdictions are subject to withholding income tax at a zero rate. To be eligible for this benefit, the following requirements must be met: (i) the bonds and securities must have been issued by private non-financial entities in accordance with the rules set forth by the CMN, (ii) the bonds must have weighted average maturity greater than four years, (iii) the issuer or one of its related parties may not repurchase and settle such bonds or securities in advance through pre-payment or redemption, unless in accordance with the rules set forth by the CMN, within the first two years after issue, (iv) the remuneration must be linked to predetermined rates and related to certain inflation indices, (v) the buyer has no agreement or commitment to resell, (vi) income payments, if any, must take place no more frequently than once per 180 day period, (vii) there must be evidence that the bonds or securities are registered in a system duly authorized by the Central Bank or the CVM, and (viii) the issuer must demonstrate the commitment to allocate the proceeds from the issuance on the future payment or reimbursement of expenses or debts related to the investment projects, including R&D.

Presumed Credits Ascertained by Financial Institutions

 

On February 28, 2013, the Brazilian government enacted Provisional Measure No. 608, which entitles financial institutions to benefit from a presumed credit (crédito presumido) based on tax credits due to temporary differences on the allowances for loan and lease losses which may, in the future, reduce the taxation levied on profits. These presumed credits, which are tax credits for accounting purposes, may be used from January 1, 2014 and are cashable against the national treasury, through reimbursement requests either in cash or Brazilian federal government bonds, after the deduction of any debts the financial institution may have with the National Treasury.

 

Each calendar year, presumed credits may be ascertained by financial institutions and certain other institutions duly authorized by the Central Bank which have cumulatively ascertained  credits due to temporary differences on allowances for loan and lease losses and accumulated tax losses in the previous tax year, such presumed credits being limited to the lesser of these amounts.

 

As further discussed in “—Regulation by the Central Bank —Capital Adequacy and Leverage/Regulatory Capital Requirements—Further Details on the Effects of Provisional Measure No. 608” above, the presumed credits do not reduce the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, as would be the case for accounting tax credits which depend on future profits for their realization.

 

The use of presumed credits is expected to be further regulated by the Brazilian Revenue Office and the Central Bank during 2013.

 

Insurance Regulation

 

The Brazilian insurance system is governed by three regulatory agencies: the CNSP, SUSEP and the ANS. With government approval, an insurance company may offer all types of insurance with the exception of workers’ compensation insurance, which is provided exclusively by the National Institute of Medical Assistance and Social Welfare (Instituto Nacional de Seguridade Social or “INSS”). Insurance companies may sell policies directly or through qualified brokers. In accordance with Brazilian insurance legislation, health insurance coverage can only be offered by insurers whose corporate purpose is limited to the sale of health insurance products and which are subject to the rules of the ANS, the regulatory agency responsible for regulating and overseeing the private health insurance sector.

 

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

 

Insurance companies are exempt from ordinary bankruptcy procedures and instead are subject to a special procedure administered by SUSEP or by the ANS, the insurance sector regulators. However, if this special procedure is determined by SUSEP or by the ANS, and the assets of the insurance company are not sufficient to guarantee at least half of the unsecured credits or procedures relating to acts that may be considered bankruptcy-related crimes, the insurance company will be subject to ordinary bankruptcy procedures.

 

Dissolutions may be either voluntary or compulsory. The Minister of Finance is responsible for the institution of compulsory dissolutions of insurance companies under SUSEP’s regulation, and ANS is responsible for the dissolution of health insurance companies.

 

There is currently no restriction on foreign investments in insurance companies regulated by CNSP, SUSEP and ANS.

 

According to Brazilian law, insurance companies must buy reinsurance to the extent that their liabilities exceed their technical limits under SUSEP rules. For several years, reinsurance activities in Brazil were carried out on a monopoly basis by the Brazilian Reinsurance Institute (IRBBrasil Resseguros S.A. or “IRB”). On January 16, 2007, Supplementary Law No. 126 came into force, providing for the opening of the Brazilian reinsurance market to other reinsurance companies. This supplementary law specifically established new policies related to reinsurance, retrocession and its intermediation, coinsurance operations, contracting insurance products abroad and insurance sector foreign currency operations.

 

The main changes introduced by Supplementary Law No. 126 are summarized below. Three types of reinsurers are established by this law:

 

102

 

·Local reinsurer: a reinsurer with its head office in Brazil, incorporated as a corporation (sociedade por ações) and having as its exclusive purpose the performance of reinsurance and retrocession transactions

 

·Admitted reinsurer: a reinsurer not headquartered in Brazil, registered with the SUSEP to carry out reinsurance and retrocession transactions, with a representative office in Brazil, which complies with the requirements of Supplementary Law No. 126 and the applicable rules regarding reinsurance and retrocession activities; and

 

·Eventual reinsurer: a reinsurer not headquartered in Brazil, registered with SUSEP to carry out reinsurance and retrocession transactions, without a representative office in Brazil, which complies with the requirements of Supplementary Law No. 126 and the applicable rules regarding reinsurance and retrocession activities.

 

An eventual reinsurer cannot be headquartered in a country considered as a tax haven jurisdiction, as defined in Supplementary Law No. 126.

 

An admitted or eventual reinsurer must comply with the following requirements:

 

·To be duly incorporated, according to the laws of their countries of origin, in order to underwrite local and international reinsurance in the fields in which they intend to operate in Brazil and present evidence that they have carried out their operations in their respective countries of origin for at least five years

 

·To have an economic and financial capacity equal to or higher than the minimum established by the CNSP

 

·To have a rating issued by rating agencies recognized by SUSEP equal to or higher than the minimum established by the CNSP

 

·To have a duly appointed attorney-in-fact domiciled in Brazil with full administrative and judicial powers; and

 

·To comply with additional requirements established by the CNSP and SUSEP.

 

In addition to the requirements mentioned above, an admitted reinsurer must keep a foreign currency account with SUSEP and periodically submit their financial statements to SUSEP, pursuant to the rules enacted by CNSP.

 

Entering into reinsurance and retrocession contracts in Brazil or abroad must be done either through direct negotiation between the involved parties or an authorized broker. Foreign reinsurance brokers may be authorized to operate in Brazil, according to the law and additional requirements established by SUSEP and the CNSP.

 

Reinsurance operations relating to survival life insurance and private pension plans may only be offered by local reinsurers.

 

With due observance of the rules enacted by the CNSP, insurance companies, when transferring their risks through reinsurance, have to transfer 40.0% of these risks to local reinsurers. In addition, risk assignments between insurers and reinsurers belonging to the same economic group are currently limited to 20.0% of the premiums pertaining to a given insurance coverage.

 

The technical reserves of local reinsurers, and funds deposited in Brazil for the purpose of guaranteeing admitted reinsurers’ local activities will be managed according to the rules of the CMN. The IRB remains authorized to carry out reinsurance and retrocession activities in Brazil as a local reinsurer.

 

103

 

b) The Issuer’s environmental policy and costs incurred in complying with environmental regulations and, if applicable, with other environmental practices, including adherence to international environmental protection standards

 

As regards operations (corporate buildings and branch network management), the bank follows the State and Federal regulations on environmental issues. Itaú Unibanco operates according to its Sustainability Policy, which contains provisions designed for the following purposes:

 

·Support market mechanisms and internal policies aimed at promoting respect for the environment, the quality of life and the maintenance of biodiversity

 

·Develop and improve mechanisms and internal policies aimed at managing the indirect impact of financial operations

 

·Mitigate the direct environmental impact of its operations.

 

IT Investments

 

One major investment started in 2012 was in Technology, as investments in this area will ensure efficiency of our operations and satisfaction to our clients, not to mention that such investments will build the necessary basis for sustained growth in the years to come.

 

Our new data center will be the largest in Brazil, and is built on a property measuring 815 thousand m² in the city of Mogi Mirim, State of São Paulo. The structure was designed to allow subsequent expansion to be carried out in two phases, which will accomodate the Bank’s operations until 2050. With a 16 fold processing capacity and adequate telecommunications infrastructure, this data center – to be LEED certified – will enable a 40% decrease in power consumption.

 

Another significant innovation in 2012 was the installation of a biometric reading system at the ATMs, which allows clients to make transactions using the biometric reading of fingerprints without using passwords, which renders this channel safer.

 

Green IT

 

Established in 2008, the purpose of our Green IT Committee is the identification, mapping, and measuring of opportunities with economic, social, and environmental considerations in the IT area. With the acquisition of more efficient equipment, proper and sustainable disposal of electronic waste and increased use of teleconference and videoconference rooms, we managed to systematically reduce power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Of great concern is the proper disposal of our electronic waste, avoiding the contamination of soil and allowing the recycling of materials. In 2012 alone, 5.3 thousand tons of electronic waste (computers, printers, monitors, and other equipment) from the central administration, data centers, branches, and supplies rooms were collected and properly disposed of.

 

Data centers

 

The Data Center Upgrade Plan provides for the remodeling of the current data center rooms into a more efficient layout. The rooms are built based on the Next Generation Data Center (“NGDC”) concept, which gathers several features and good market practices focusing on power efficiency and operational excellence. Compared to traditional procedures, the new model allows for an estimated reduction of 43% in power consumption. 1790m2 of data center areas were upgraded in 2012. The resulting kW reduction data will be apparent in 2013. In 2012, four new teleconference rooms were acquired and equipped, bringing the total in the Itaú Unibanco network to 18. In the year, the 4,094 meetings were held in these rooms, avoiding 18,274,825 km of travel and the emission of 2,523 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

 

104

 

Ecoefficiency

 

Management and reasonable use of natural resources is one of our constant concerns, to the extent that they allow us to reduce the impact and increase the efficiency of our operations, resulting in economic benefits. Due to the intensive use of technological equipment in our network of branches and corporate buildings, we have high levels of water and power consumption. Therefore, reducing and optimizing this consumption has been a key goal for us. Each initiative to improve our consumption levels is based on four pillars: implementation costs, market availability, technical performance of systems and eco-efficiency gains.

 

Water and power

 

The monthly monitoring of water and electric power consumption and the proper disposal of residues has been a significant step forward. In addition, we have established goals for the reduction of water and power consumption. In 2012, power and water consumption at our corporate buildings was reduced by approximately 1% and 8%, respectively, compared to the previous year. We installed devices that are more efficient and economical, such glass tinting, which contributes to reducing the temperature of internal surfaces, the use of clean power (wind, solar, small power plans and biomass) at the corporate buildings with higher consumption, and the re-use of storm water at cooling towers, decantation tanks, toilets, lake and garden irrigation systems.

 

In 2012, we made progress in the preparation of the Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Inventory, which follows the GHG protocol used worldwide by several corporations to determine the amount of carbon generated. We have implemented measures to reduce, either directly or indirectly, the GHG emissions associated with our operations.

 

Generation of residues and effluents

 

Our concern with ecoefficiency has yielded faster results at our new installations, such as the Tatuapé Technological Center (CAT 2) and the new data center in Mogi Mirim. Both buildings, for which completion is expected to occur in 2014, will have the LEED certification, which is granted to buildings that follow the good practices of construction and have good environmental and power performance. At the older installations, not built using the currently available techniques, upgrades to achieve eco-efficiency may require further planning, and an assessment of risks for the operation of areas and impact of costs required.

 

In the last two years, the main corporate buildings underwent remodeling to reduce their consumption of resources and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. When building new buildings or remodelling old ones, we monitor the generation and proper disposal of residues.

 

The building where our Tatuapé Technological Center (“CAT”) is located, we maintained the ISO 14001 certification, rule designed with a view to creating financial balance and reducing environmental impact through an Environmental Management System. An example is the implementation of the Effluent Treatment Station (“ETE”), a water reuse system to supply water for the air conditioning cooling towers. In the five months of operation of the ETE in 2012, 7,192 m³ of water were reused. We have systems to treat and re-use water at the Jabaquara Corporate Headquarters, the Mooca Technological Center and Tatuapé and Raposo Tavares Technological Centers. In 2012, we reused 62,925 m³ of water, an increase of approximately 50% compared to the year 2011.

 

Operational and technical efficiency

 

Within the scope of building management, due to the implementation of technically and operationally efficient buildings, we recorded an estimated 12,816 GJ1 reduction in power consumption in 2012, resulting in estimated savings of approximately R$ 1.2 million. When comparing electric power consumption at the corporate buildings in 2011 and 2012, we noticed a 869.2 MWh reduction. Our targeted reduction in terms of power consumption at the corporate buildings by 2015 is 2%.

 

Paperless

 

“Itaú Sem Papel” Project, or paperless Itaú, is an initiative intended to encourage clients to waive the receipt of their bank statements on paper, replacing them with digital files. Using the slogan “Use paper when it’s really worth it” disseminated in advertising campaigns launched through various channels, the campaign is intended to make our clients aware of the possibility of contributing to reducing the environmental impact of our operations.

 

105

 

In addition, corporate clients are encouraged to take part in initiatives to reduce the amount of printed matter generated by the bank’s operations. More than 35% of account statement requests last year were for the digital format, which allowed us to save over 4 million sheets of paper.

 

Electronic residues

 

In 2012, we expanded the electronic waste disposal process for the Corporate Headquarters, branches and stock room, and we consider the volume produced during the transfer of branches from Unibanco to Itaú.

 

Impacts of transportation

 

Transportation of workers, residues, cargo and materials related to the bank generate atmospheric emissions. In order to mitigate this impact, we reduced the number of boarding by measuring the mileage travelled. We control and monitor emissions due to the use of electric power generators and mobile sources, whether our own or outsourced vehicles at the service of Itaú Unibanco, using the Ringelmann scale – a graphic scale for visual and colorimetrical measurement to assist with the identification of levels of emissions from fixed or mobile sources. The actions taken in 2012 included:

 

·Vans made available to and from administrative poles, to facilitate the transportation of workers

 

·Optimization of worker transportation routes to and from corporate buildings.

 

·Launching a campaign to encourage the use of vans by workers going to and from administrative poles.

 

·In 2012, 5,317,662km were travelled using taxi services, a 54% reduction compared to 2011.

 

·We control and monitor the mileage of companies transporting residues (corporate buildings Itaú-business) – in 2012, the result was 333,022km.

 

Mitigation of environmental impact

 

Below are the initiatives launched by Itaú Unibanco focusing on mitigating its social and environmental impact:

 

Business segment: Sustainability Meter – for each exchange contract digitally signed in Itaú 30 Horas, we record the number of paper sheets saved and greenhouse gas emissions not emitted by the production of these sheets. The meter shows the client the total of unused paper sheets and the CO2 equivalent. By December 2012, approximately 9.1 million of sheets of paper were saved, which avoided the emission of over 36.2 tons of CO2 in to the atmosphere.

 

In accordance with Itau Unibanco’s own social and environmental risk analysis, based on the Sector’s Policy on Social and Environmental Risk, we devised mechanisms and tools to assess the social and environmental risks associated with small and medium companies. The sector categorization is accomplished by analyzing the social and environmental risks associated with their economic industry. The sustainability criteria analyzed include: use of power, use of water, discharge of liquid effluents and disposal of solid residue, atmospheric emissions and occupational hazards and safety. As a bank registered with the BNDES, we also offer onward lending within the scope of the ABC Program (Agricultural Line of the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social – BNDES) to fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from arable and animal farming and deforestation, through expansion of arable forests and restoration of degraded areas. As of December 2012, 133 loans were granted under this Program.

 

Itaú Microcredit: we no longer print social and environmental analysis sheets, copies of CPF, RG, proof of residence and account statements. Digitalization of documents has allowed savings on copies, printing, paper and filing of approximately 128 million sheets of paper.

 

Itaú BBA: Bridge loans, guarantees and long-term financing are granted solely to projects that establish consistent criteria to ensure compliance with the Brazilian laws and regulations in terms of occupational health and safety and social and environmental safety – such as management of effluents, residues and emissions, conservation of archeological heritage, compliance with regulatory rules issued by the Ministry of Labor, and surveys of the affected populations. These criteria are followed up throughout the agreement term in the event of long term financing.

 

106

 

In the case of the financing of long term projects under the Project Finance modality – of amounts equal to or greater that US$ 10 million – compliance with the Equator Principles are also taken into account.

 

Itaú Asset Management: we count on our own methodology to identify environmental, social and corporate governance risks and opportunities and to define the market value of investees. Variable income active management funds build this methodology into their investment assessment process. An unfavorable result does not necessarily imply the exclusion of sectors or companies, but allows us to identify gaps that are forwarded for measures as provided in sustainability governance.

 

Itaú Ecomudança Fund: (DI or fixed income) funds within the Ecomudança umbrella that invests 30% of its management fees in projects of Non-Governmental Organizations (“NGOs”), whose purpose is to reduce the GHG emissions. In a three year period (2009 to 2012), over R$ 2.3 million was invested in 13 entities involved in energy efficiency, renewable energy, residue management, recovery of indigenous forests or mitigation of deforestation.

 

Mortgage financing: we propose the use of three questionnaires that deal with the social and environmental aspects of a company, project or land. Information is requested, such as the history of the land and its surroundings (if any plant, gas station, dump or scrap shop was located, or liquid effluents were discarded) and whether there are any bodies of water or vegetation. The results are measured and, if any financial, environmental, exposure or potential tarnishing of the bank’s image is identified, the transaction is submitted to the areas in charge for analysis.

 

Insurance: In order to implement the PSI criteria, we will identify and apply the ASG criteria in our product portfolio – Commercial Peril, Multiple Peril, Engineering Risks Insurance, Group Life and Accident Insurance – Group – considering, at all times, the specificities of each modality.

 

Consumer credit: We have the Itaucard Ipiranga Carbono Zero (zero carbon credit card), part of which is billed on fuel purchased at Ipiranga gas stations is reinvested in reforestation efforts – neutralizing double the emissions of carbon monoxide that would be emitted by that fuel.

 

Purchases: In our relationships with suppliers, we seek to engage suppliers aligned with the generation of value to the bank and community, and ensure use of the best social and environmental practices throughout the production chain. Through an integrated structure for selecting suppliers, we select those which are focused on the mitigation of their social and environmental impact, which comply with current laws and regulations governing labor and environmental issues, and that uphold human rights.

 

107

 

Environmental investments

 

In 2012, Itaú Unibanco invested R$299.7 million in environmental protection, more than in 2011. Expenditure of R$ 12.3 million on residue disposal and the mitigation of emissions was incurred, as well as R$ 287.4 million in prevention and environmental management. There were no operations or incidents that required investments in recovery in 2012.

 

A significant increase in environmental protection expenditure was incurred due to major projects implemented by Itaú Unibanco, with LEED certification of the new buildings (data center and Tatuapé Administrative Center), and power and water consumption efficiency projects – which required significant investment.

9.2. Supply any other information that the Issuer may deem relevant

 

The subsidiaries Banco Itaucard S.A. and Itaú Corretora S.A. reflect the different participation rights of preferred shares in the distribution of their dividends.

 

In addition to Item 9.1 b, we have presented information on trademarks and patents below.

 

(I) and (II) Duration and Territory Affected

 

Trademarks

 

In Brazil, a trademark is acquired by means of a valid registration issued by the INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property) and its exclusive use within Brazilian territory is assured to the holder. The registration of the trademark is valid for ten years from the date it is granted by the INPI and may be extended for equal and successive periods.

 

The grant and due dates of the registrations and registration application deposits of the relevant trademarks mentioned in Item 7.5 c, in Brazil, as well as other information on said trademarks, are mentioned in the table included in Item 9.1 b.

 

The effective terms and requirements for the extension of trademarks abroad depend on the laws of each country or region where the trademark is registered. The location and the grant and due dates of the registrations of the relevant trademarks mentioned in Item 7.5 c, as well as other information on these trademarks is mentioned in the table included in Item 9.1 b.

 

Patents

 

In Brazil, the effective term of invention patents is 20 years from the date when the patent application is made.

 

The effective terms and requirements for the extension of patents abroad depend on the laws of each country or region where the patent is registered.

 

The Issuer and its subsidiaries are the owners of patents and patent applications in Brazil and abroad for a method for the generation of a virtual keyboard for the entry of a security or user identification PIN number. The applications related to this patent are still pending analysis in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile and Venezuela. Additionally, the Issuer or its subsidiaries are the owners of a patent application for a method for the identification of an institution’s access PIN, which is still pending analysis in Brazil.

 

The locations, the grants and due dates of the registrations of patents granted and other relevant information are mentioned in the table included in Item 9.1 b.

 

(III) Events that may cause the loss of the rights to such assets

 

Trademarks

 

The events that may cause the loss of the rights to trademark assets are provided for by law. At the administrative level, trademark registration applications may be rejected by the INPI in the situations provided for by Law No. 9,279/96, including as a result of objections filed with the INPI by a third party that has a right of precedence over the trademark or is the owner of a registration application or a conflicting trademark.

 

The registration of the trademark terminates upon: (i) the end of its effective term without the due extension, (ii) a waiver by the trademark’s owner, which may be total or partial with respect to the products or services marked by the trademark, and (iii) its lapse, which may be total or partial.

 

Any person lawfully interested may present a lapse request to the INPI if, five years after the date the trademark registration is granted by the INPI, any of the following situations occur: (i) the trademark has not yet been used in Brazil, (ii) the use of the trademark has been interrupted for more than five consecutive years, or (iii) the trademark has been used with modification that implies a change in its original distinct nature, which is contained in its respective registration certificate.

 

The registration of a trademark may be declared void by the INPI by means of annulment administrative proceedings filed by the INPI itself or upon the request of a lawfully interested third party if the grant of such registration has not been carried out in compliance with the provisions of the law. The annulment of the registration may be total or partial. The condition for the partial annulment is the fact that the subsisting part of the trademark or of the description of the products or services, that is, the part that is not declared void, is considered as qualifying for registration.

 

133

In addition to the administrative proceedings mentioned above, the INPI or interested third party may file a lawsuit with the Judiciary Branch for the annulment of the trademark’s registration five years after the date when the registration is granted by the INPI.

 

Patents

 

The events that may cause the loss of the rights to the trademark assets are set out in the law. At the administrative level, the patent applications may be rejected by the INPI in the situations provided for by Law No. 9,279/96.

 

The patent terminates upon: (i) the end of its effective term, (ii) a waiver by its owners, provided that the rights of third parties are observed, (iii) the lack of payment of the annual compensation, or (iv) its lapse.

 

A patent may be declared void by the INPI by means of annulment administrative proceedings filed by the INPI itself, or by a lawfully interested third party if the granting of such registration has not been done in compliance with the provisions in law.

 

In addition to the administrative proceedings mentioned above, the INPI or interested third party may file a lawsuit with the Judiciary Branch for the annulment of the patent during the full effective term of the patent.

 

(IV) Possible consequences of the loss of such rights to the Issuer

 

Trademarks

 

In the case that the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries lose the rights over the trademark named above, and if they cannot stop third parties from using the same or similar trademarks, (the possibility of which is considered very remote) particularly in the same market segment, they would have to carry out their activities using other trademarks. Also, there would be the possibility of the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries having to defend themselves in lawsuits in the event of the violation of third parties’ rights.

 

Patents

 

Depending on the reason for the possible loss of rights over the patents listed above, the subject matter of the patent will be in the public domain and may be freely exploited by third parties. The Issuer and its subsidiaries might have to stop using the subject matter of the patent.

 

In any case, should this occur, we believe that there would be no serious effects on the activities of the Issuer and its subsidiaries as they do not depend on these patents to carry out their activities.

ITEM 10 – ComMENTS OF DIRECTORS

 

10.1. Directors should comment on:

 

a)Financial and equity positions in general

 

2012

 

2012 was characterised by low growth worldwide, with high volatility arising from fears of an international crisis. However, there was no breakdown in the Eurozone, and the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced that it is ready to use the new plan for the purchase of securities. The European countries started to implement the required adjustments, even though there is still a long way to go. The main remaining challenges are fiscal consolidation and progress within the monetary union. On the other side of the Atlantic, the US Congress has approved new legislation and averted the so-called “fiscal cliff”. However, there are pending issues to be sorted out in 2013, such as a fresh decision on the “debt ceiling”. There was no sudden halt in China’s growth, as had been feared. The global outlook for 2013 is a little better, with steadier growth and fewer risks.

 

In the local scenario, growth was lower than expected. Brazilian gross Domestic Product (GDP) closed 2012 at 0.9%. In particular, there was a drop in industrial production and investment, which decreased over most of the year, restrained by uncertainty regarding the local and foreign economic scenarios. In view of the monetary and fiscal incentives in force and the relatively stable external scenario, Brazil should post higher growth in 2013, at approximately 3.0%.

 

Inflation measured by the IPCA (“Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo”) was 5.8% at the end of 2012. In spite of the weak economic growth, the labor market continued heated. Unemployment is close to its minimum historical level and has kept the inflation rate for services high (8.7% in December). Inflation for industrial products increased due to a devaluated Real. Furthermore, supply shocks, such as the crop failure in the United States, have put pressure on inflation rates for food over the year. Our projected IPCA for 2013 remains high (5.7%) due to labor market conditions, inflation inertia and high expected inflation.

 

In October, the Central Bank ended the interest rate decrease cycle started in August 2011. The SELIC (“Sistema Especial de Liquidação e Custódia”) rate reached 7.25% per month and closed 2012 at this level. The Real has depreciated against the US Dollar, and the foreign exchange rate closed 2012 at R$2.05/US$.

 

Based on Central Bank data, the volume of new consumer loans in 2012 increased by 2.1%, in real terms (deflated by the IPCA), compared 2011. Likewise, the volume of new corporate loans went up by 1.6%. As a share of GDP, total outstanding loans increased to 53.5% in December 2012 from 49.0% in December 2011. Delinquency rate for corporate loans over 90 days past due remained relatively steady at a high level over the entire year, whereas the delinquency rate for consumer loans over 90 days past due rose over the first half and remained steady over the second half of the year.

 

Following the decrease in the SELIC rate, the banking interest and spread rates also decreased throughout 2012, and reached their lowest levels in history, except for the spread rates for individuals.

 

The Company’s net income for the year was R$13,594 million, with an annualized return on average equity of 18.4%, compared to 22.3% in 2011. As at December 31, 2012, consolidated assets totaled R$1,014,425 million and total consolidated stockholders’ equity was R$74,220 million, compared to R$851,332 million and R$71,347 millionas at 2011. As at the same date, the Company’s solvency ratio on a fully consolidated basis was 16.7%.

 

The balance of credit transactions, including sureties and endorsements, was R$426,595 million as at December 31, 2012, a 7.5% increase compared to December 31, 2011. The balance of credit transactions, including sureties and endorsements, grew more slowly in 2012 compared to 2011. As at December 31, 2012, credit to individuals increased by 0.7%, while credit to companies increased by 8.8% compared to December 31, 2011. On credit to individuals, the highlights were real estate loans and payroll loans, with increases of 34.2% and 29.4%, respectively, mainly due to the favorable Brazilian scenario on real estate loans and payroll loans acquired from Banco BMG S.A., as we have given increased priority to lower risk portfolios. In terms of credit to companies, the corporate portfolio increased 15.5% as at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 and this growth was partially offset by a 1.6% decrease in the very small, small and middle sized companies’ portfolio. As at December 31, 2012, credit operations in Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina had increased by 41.7% compared to December 31, 2011. This increase reflects the growth of our operations abroad and the depreciation of the Real against the currencies of these other countries and the US Dollar for the year ended December 31, 2012.

  

135

The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased by 34.2%, for the year ended at December 31, 2012, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is primarily due to an increase in default rate, especially on vehicle loans and personal loans, which follows the general trends observed in the Brazilian financial market. In addition, this increase reflects the expected loss model adopted in our credit risk management which anticipates the provision for losses for scenarios of expected growth in default rates. The default rate (loan operations more than 90 days overdue) was 4.8%, as at December 31, 2012, representing a ten basis-point decrease compared to December 31, 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we assigned to our affiliate companies a R$480 million portfolio of vehicle loans overdue more than 360 days. Excluding the impact of these assignment transactions, the 90 day non-performing loan ratio as at December 31, 2012 would have been 4.9%. In 2013, we intend to periodically assign vehicle portfolios overdue for over 360 days to affiliated companies.

 

Redecard S.A.– in one of the largest transactions in the São Paulo stock exchange, we acquired 49.98 % of Redecard’s capital by way of a public tender offer, reaching 100% of stock, and cancelled this company’s registration as a publicly-held company. Redecard is one of the major players in the acquiring market in Brazil, accounting for the accreditation, capture, transmission, processing and financial settlement of transactions with credit and debit cards. This operation, carried out according to good corporate governance practices, will enable us offering products and services integrated into the bank’s clients and expanding our business to a number of Brazilian municipalities in which we today have no physical structure (branches and/or PABs). The total invested in the acquisition of Redecard’s outstanding shares was R$ 11,75 billion.

 

Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. – in July 2012, we entered into an association agreement with Banco BMG S.A., aimed at expanding our payroll loan operations. We are the controlling shareholders of BancoItaú BMG Consignado S.A., which resulted from this agreement, with a 70% interest in the total voting capital. We have the right to nominate the majority of the board of directors and the majority of the officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. Banco BMG has the right to appoint the officers responsible for the commercial, back-office and collection divisions, subject to Itaú Unibanco’s approval. In December 2012, Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. started operations.

 

The payroll loans granted to Itaú Unibanco’s clients through Itaú Unibanco’s branches and other exclusive Itaú Unibanco channels will remain separate from the operations of the association. Itaú Unibanco will also provide funding for Banco BMG’s payroll loan transactions of up to R$300 million per month, for a five-years term, through acquisitions of payroll credit portfolios. Itaú Unibanco and its affiliates also have the right to offer their products and services to the association customers.

 

This transaction was approved by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), and the final contracts regulating the BMG Association were entered into on (i) December 13, 2012, including an investment agreement setting forth the rights and obligations of each party with respect to the Association and a contract of funding through assignment of credit rights, which stipulates Itaú Unibanco S.A.’s obligation to provide funding to Banco BMG S.A., and (ii) on January 7, 2013, such as the Shareholders Agreement of Banco Itaú BMG Consignado S.A. This transaction does not require prior approval of the Central Bank, is in effect since December 13, 2012.

 

Serasa S.A. – in October 2012, we sold to Experian the remaining interest of 16.14% in Serasa, leading company in services and products for analysis and information for credit and support to business for all segments in the market. Income before taxes arising from this sale was approximately R$ 1,5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Banco CSF S.A. – we acquired shares representing 49% of Banco Carrefour, responsible for the offer and distribution, on an exclusive basis, of financial, insurance and pension plan products and services in the distribution channels operated under the “Carrefour” brand in Brazil, an operation authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil on April 23, 2012.

 

Financeira Americanas Itaú S.A. – we ended the partnership with Lojas Americanas S.A. for the offer, distribution and commercialization, on an exclusive basis, of financial, insurance and social security products and services to customers of LASA and its affiliated companies in August 2012. The completion of this operation was approved by the Central Bank of Brazil on December 27, 2012.

 

Banco BPI – we sold 100% of our interest to La Caixa Group, BPI’s largest stockholder. The sale was authorized by the Central Bank of Portugal in April 2012. The association between Itaú Unibanco and BPI was particularly relevant for the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate to build, starting in Portugal, the basis required to launch the European operation dedicated to the Itaú BBA segment (wholesale and investment bank), focused on supportingthe international activities of European and Latin American companies, which are currently consolidated with representatives in London, Lisbon, Madrid, Frankfurt and Paris.

 

Orbitall – we carried out the sale of this card processor to the Stefanini Group, completed in May 2012. The completion of the merger of processes resulting from the Itaú Unibanco merger made the operation feasible, since we gained scale enough to process only our own cards with competitive edge and cost efficiency. The provision of this type of service to other financial institutions is unrelated to the main activity of the Itaú Unibanco group, and it was the reason for the sale.

2011

 

2011 was marked by high volatility in the international scenario, particularly from August onwards. The outlook for growth in the developed economies worsened, influenced by the need for major tax adjustments in subsequent quarters, particularly by the European economy. The private credit squeeze in the international markets as a consequence of the crisis was also a factor in the restrained growth. The European Central Bank provided liquidity for a three year period for a large number of financial institutions, contributing to a certain short-term relief from the financial conditions in the region. In the USA, growth above expectations in the second half of 2011 was a positive surprise. China should post a moderate slowdown over the following quarters, but the country’s external position remains sound, family indebtedness is low and consumption continues with the potential to grow.

 

In the domestic scenario, the trend towards a slowdown in the economic activity continued. This decrease is a consequence of the tax and monetary squeeze imposed from the end of 2010 to mid-2011, but also reflects the recent deterioration in the global economic scenario. Expectations of consumers and entrepreneurs remained lower than those recorded in the recent past. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the fourth quarter of 2011 posted a small increase of approximately 0.2%, showing a modest recovery compared to the stability noted in the previous quarter. Thus the annual GDP annual growth for 2011 was 2.7%.

 

Inflation measured by IPCA was 6.5% at the end of 2011. The economic deceleration, less pressure on commodities prices, and lower increases in administered items contributed to the projection of lower inflation in 2012.

 

In this context, with more uncertainty regarding the foreign scenario and its possible impact on domestic activity, the Central Bank of Brazil started a process of reducing the SELIC rate in August 2011. At the end of 2011, the annual basic interest rate was 11.0%, compared to 12.5% before the reduction cycle. In addition to the relaxation of the monetary policy, the government has adopted other instruments to stimulate the economy, including the reduction in IPI for the appliance segment, and a decrease in capital requirements and IOF rates for certain loan operations.

 

The credit market posted a reduction in growth during 2011. In 2011, new loans to individuals increased by 4.4% in actual terms compared to same period of 2010 (after a 15.4% growth in 2010 compared to 2009). In the corporate segment, loans granted grew by 1.4% in 2011 compared to 2010, a year in which there was a 2.5% expansion compared to 2009. Total loans as a percentage of GDP reached 49.1% in December 2011, compared to 45.2% in December 2010. Defaults over 90 days reached 5.5% in December, compared to 4.5% at the end of 2010, due to the increase in the loan interest rate and smaller economic growth.

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was R$14,621 million, with an annualized return on average equity of 22.3%, compared to 24.1%, for 2010. As at December 31, 2011, consolidated assets totaled R$851,332 million and total stockholders’ equity was R$71,347 million. At the same date, our solvency ratio on a fully consolidated basis was 16.4%.

 

The balance of credit transactions, including sureties and endorsements, was R$397,012 million as at December 31, 2011, an increase of 19.1% compared to December 31, 2010. As at December 31, 2011, credits to individuals increased by 17.9%, whereas credit to companies increased by 17.9% compared to December 31, 2010. For credits to individuals, the highlights were real estate loans, credit cards and personal loans, with increases of 66.7%, 18.0% and 47.0%, respectively. For credits to companies, the very small, small and middle sized companies’ portfolio increased by 13.0% from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, whereas the corporate portfolio increased by 21.3% in the same period. The balance of sureties and endorsements added up to R$51,530 million as at December 31, 2011, representing an increase of 34.3% compared to December 31, 2010.

 

The result from the allowance for loan losses increased by 45.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. Expenses for allowances for loan losses increased by 41.0%, from R$14,121 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$19,912 million in 2011, an increase of R$5,791 million. This growth is due to the increase in our credit portfolio and reflects the model of expected losses adopted in the institution’s loan risk management, based on the broad concept of Basel II (International regulatory framework for banks), which considers the potential losses for revolving loan. This model replaces the previous one, which contained, besides the expected losses, the concept of countercyclical provisions, which is treated as a capital cushion according to the BIS III precepts. The adoption of this model resulted in a R$1,573 million provision reversal, gross of tax, in the fourth quarter of 2010. As at December 31, 2011, the 90-day default rate as a percentage of our total credit portfolio increased by 4.9%, compared to 4.1% at December 31, 2010. Credits under renegotiation, including extended, modified and deferred repayments, increased by 4.2% of our total portfolio as at December 31, 2011, compared to 3.1% as at December 31, 2010.

 

137

During the second half of 2011, the process of integration between Itaú and Unibanco was fully completed. Currently, 100% of the technology platforms are built and running in one environment.

 

Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, reflected the significant impact of exchange rate variations. The exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Real changed significantly. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Real depreciated by 12.6% against the US Dollar, while in 2010 the Real appreciated by 4.3% against the US Dollar.

 

In 2011, there was a change in the basis for consolidating Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. from full to partial consolidation and Porto Seguro S.A. from consolidation to recognition under the equity method.

 

2010

 

In 2010, Brazil experienced strong growth, and GDP expanded by 7.5%. This was primarily due to the Brazilian economy rebounding from negative growth in 2009, and also the result of the rapid expansion of domestic demand, which grew by 7.5% in 2010, driven mainly by the recovery of domestic consumption and investment expenditure, as well as the increase in fiscal expenditure.

 

The current account deficit (the net balance from the trading of goods and services and international transfers) reached 2.3% of GDP in 2010, and has been in a negative position for the third consecutive year. Brazil’s external solvency improved considerably, with US$289 billion in international reserves and US$256 billion in external debt, as at December 2010. Nevertheless, there are other external liabilities, such as investments in portfolios of shares and fixed income bonds, which rose from US$287 billion in 2008 to US$645 billion in January 2011.

 

There were concerns regarding the acceleration of inflation, and the inflation rate reached 5.9% in 2010, well above the median of the Brazilian government’s target range of 4.5%, and close to the stipulated maximum rate of 6.5%. Inflation may continue to rise, and this could potentially affect our results. Delinquency rates in the Brazilian banking system decreased during 2010.

 

Notwithstanding the relatively brief effects of the international crisis, there were new sources of strain, especially due to the burden of sovereign debt of European countries, and from the US due to fears of a second recession resulting from the sluggishness of the real estate market and growing unemployment, and from the acceleration of inflation in emerging countries. All of these factors may affect the level of activity and increase the volatility in the Brazilian currency, the Real, with respect to the US Dollar, the Euro, the Yen, the Yuan and other currencies. The Brazilian government could choose to adopt further prudential macroeconomic measures to prevent excessive asset growth.

 

In December 2010, the National Monetary Council (CMN) adopted measures aiming at restricting credit growth, including an increase in additional compulsory deposits and in capital requirements. The compulsory deposits of the banking system in the Central Bank increased by R$81.8 billion. These measures have moderated the growth in the volume of loans. Preliminary indicators such as the data for December showed that the average loans granted to individuals fell 10.5%, in actual terms not adjusted for seasonality. Even though the impact was less on grants to companies, which posted a 6.6% decrease, other variables, such as interest charged on loans to individuals, seem to have increased. However, the total credit granted by the banking system became more important over the year, going up from 45% of GDP to 47%.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our consolidated net income was R$13,323 million. As at December 31, 2010, our total stockholders’ equity was R$60,879 million. Our annualized return on average equity was 24.1% in 2010. As at the same date, our solvency ratio on a fully consolidated basis was 15.4%, a 130 basis point decrease compared to December 31, 2009. This was mainly due to: (i) changes in capital requirement rules, which excluded additional provisions for loan and lease losses from the Tier 1 capital calculation, and (ii) credit expansion. For more details about the calculation of our regulatory capital.

 

During 2010 our main challenge was the completion of the integration of the branches of Unibanco and CSB throughout Brazil. With the completion of the integration, we were able to improve our processes and, accordingly, expand the volume of services and increase our customer base, while maintaining service quality.

 

We highlighted the improvement of asset quality as the principal change in our financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our operations were positively affected by a decrease in non-performing loans, mainly due to an improvement in the quality of our portfolio of individuals and companies, and an improvement in our recovery of loans previously written off as losses. Reduced delinquency levels are associated with the improving Brazilian economy, as well as the more conservative credit policies adopted since 2009.

 

138

As at December 31, 2010, the balance of credit transactions, including endorsements and sureties, was R$333,427 million, a 19.8% increase compared to December 31, 2009. Credit to individuals increased by 16.3%, while credit to companies increased by 21.9% compared to December 31, 2009. During 2010, we maintained our strategy of increasing the volume of credit card lending, vehicle financing, real estate loans and loans to very small, small and middle-market companies, with loans to companies increasing at a higher rate than other segments.

 

Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, reflected the significant impact on exchange rate variations. The exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Real changed significantly. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Real appreciated 4.3% against the US Dollar, while in the year ended December 31, 2009 the Real appreciated 25.5% against the US Dollar. The decrease in income from financial operations before loan losses was mainly due to lower gains from derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investments in subsidiaries abroad, resulting in a decrease in expenses related to income tax and social contribution.

 

b) Corporate structure and possibility of redemption of shares or quotas

 

As at December 31, 2012, the capital stock comprised 4,570,936,100 book-entry shares with no par value, of which 2,289,286,400 were common and 2,281,649,700 were preferred shares without voting rights, but with tag-along rights, in the event of a public offering of shares, at a price equal to 80% of the amount paid per share with voting rights in the controlling stake, as well as a dividend at least equal to that of the common shares. Capital stock totals R$45,000 million (R$45,000 million as at December 31, 2011), of which R$31,159 million (R$31,552 million as at December 31, 2011) is held by stockholders domiciled in the country and R$13,841 million (R$13,448 million at 12/31/2011) is held by stockholders domiciled abroad.

 

We deem the current Basel ratio of 16.7% based on the Economic-Financial Consolidated as at December 31, 2012 to be appropriate.

 

I - Cases for redemption

 

There is no case for the redemption of shares issued by the Company besides those which are legally provided for.

 

II - Formula for the calculation of the redemption value

 

Not applicable.

 

c) Payment capability in relation to the financial commitments assumed; d) sources of financing used for working capital and investments in non-current assets; e) sources of financing for working capital and investments in non-current assets that the Issuer intends to use to cover liquidity deficiencies; f) limits on the use of the financing already contracted.

 

Our Superior Institutional Treasury and Liquidity Commission(CSTIL) determines the policy regarding asset and liability management. Our policy is to maintain a close match to our maturity, interest rate and currency exposure. In establishing our policies and limits, the Superior Institutional Treasury and Liquidity Commission takes into consideration the exposure limits for each market segment and product, and the volatility and correlation across different markets and products. The Institutional Treasury of Itaú Unibanco Holding has the ultimate responsibility for the conglomerate’s liquidity, including for all business units outside of Brazil.

 

We have invested in improvements to the risk management of the liquidity. We always have a portfolio of high liquidity securities (an “operational reserve”) available, which represents our main source of liquidity. Our operational reserve, which is the total amount of assets that can be immediately turned into cash, based on local market practices and legal regulations, generally includes: cash and deposits on demand, funded positions in securities purchased under agreements to resell and unencumbered government securities.

 

We maintain separate liquidity pools for our Brazilian operations and at each of our subsidiaries in Latin America and Europe. Our Brazilian operations include the financial institutions in Brazil (the most important in terms of size being Itaú Unibanco Holding, Itaú Unibanco and Itaú BBA) and the entities used by the Brazilian operations for funding and serving their clients abroad (the most important ones in terms of size being Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., Cayman Branch, Itaú Unibanco S.A., Cayman Branch, Itaú BBA S.A., Nassau Branch and Itaú Bank, a Cayman Islands indirect subsidiary of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.).

  

139

Every subsidiary in Latin America (e.g., in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay) and in Europe has its own treasury function with significant autonomy to manage liquidity according to local needs and regulations, while remaining in compliance with the liquidity limits established by Itaú Unibanco Holding senior management. In general there are no liquidity transfers between subsidiaries or between the head office and a subsidiary, except under very specific circumstances, like targeted capital increases.There are no liquidity pool minima established by Brazilian regulators, nor by regulators in the countries where the above mentioned foreign entities operate. We define our consolidated group operational liquidity reserve as the total amount of assets that can be immediately turned into cash based on local market practices and legal regulations. The reserve generally includes: cash and deposits on demand, funded positions of securities purchased under agreements to resell and unencumbered government securities.

 

The following table presents our operational liquidity reserve as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, as well as the yearly average.

Unencumbered government securities   83,980    44,741    48,995 
Operational reserve   120,843    79,963    101,991 

 

Management controls liquidity reserves based on the estimates of funds that will be available for investment by the treasury department. The technique employed involves the statistical projection of scenarios for our assets and liabilities, taking into consideration the liquidity profile of the counterparties.

 

Short-term minimum liquidity limits are defined according to the guidelines set by the Superior Institutional Treasury and Liquidity Commission (CSTIL). These limits aim to ensure sufficient liquidity, including in the event of unforeseen market events. These limits are revised periodically based on the projection of cash requirements in atypical market situations (i.e. stress scenarios).

 

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

 

Due to the Company’s stable sources of funding, which include a large deposit base, a large number of correspondent banks with which it has long-standing relationships as well as facilities in place, allowing access to further funding, we have not historically experienced liquidity problems, despite the recent disruptions in the international financial markets. We are exposed to the effects of the disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets and the economies in those countries where we do business, especially Brazil.

Our principal sources of funding are interest-bearing deposits, deposits received under repurchase agreements. For a more detailed description of our sources of funding, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Our current funding strategy is to continue to use all our funding sources in accordance with their cost and availability and our general asset and liability management strategy. We consider our current level of liquidity to be adequate. The international financial turmoil magnified the importance of issues associated with funding and the liquidity of financial institutions around the world. In order to finance our operations, we increased the use of liquidity provided by savings and interbank deposits, interbank market debt and institutional market debt during 2011 and 2012. The balance of time deposits decreased its share on the total funding in 2012 because we utilized less expensive funding sources, such as Brazilian debentures subject to repurchase, which are reported under “securities sold under repurchase agreements” and are offered not only to institutional clients but also to private banking, corporate banking and retail clients.

 

Our ability to obtain funding depends on numerous factors, including credit ratings, general economic conditions, investors’ perceptions of emerging markets in general and of Brazil, in particular, the prevailing economic and political conditions in Brazil and government regulations in relation to foreign exchange funding.

 

Some of our long-term debt allows for the anticipation of the outstanding principal balance upon the occurrence of specified events, which are ordinarily found in long-term financing agreements. As at December 31, 2012, none of these events, including any events of default or failure to satisfy financial covenants, had occurred and we have no reason to believe that it is reasonably likely that any of these events will occur in 2013.

 

The following table sets out the breakdown of our sources of funding as at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

III - Level of subordination of debts

 

In the case of judicial or extrajudicial liquidation of the Issuer, there is an order of priority as to the repayment to the many creditors of the bankrupt estate. Particularly in relation to debts comprising the Issuer’s indebtedness, the following order of repayment shall be obeyed: secured debts, unsecured debt, and subordinated debt. It is worth mentioning that, with respect to actual debt, creditors prefer secured debts rather than the others up to the limit of the asset pledged to secure them since there is no subordination among the unsecured creditors or subordinated creditors.

 

The funding through the issue of subordinated debt securities is as follows:

IV - Any restrictions imposed on the Issuer, in particular in relation to limits for indebtedness and contracting new debt, the distribution of dividends, disposal of assets, issue of new securities and disposal of shareholding control

 

A portion of our long-term debt has a provision regarding the early repayment of the principal upon the occurrence of certain events, as is the norm with long-term finance contracts. As at December 31, 2012, event of default or non-compliance with finance covenants had occurred.

 

Additionally, in March 2010 Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. established a program for the issue and distribution of notes through certain financial intermediaries (the “Program”). The Program establishes that the Issuer itself, or its Cayman Islands branch, will issue subordinated or senior notes (“Notes”) up to the limit of US$10,000,000,000.00 (ten billion U.S. dollars). On February 20, 2013, we increased the limit to US$ 100,000,000,000.00 (one hundred billion U.S. Dollars).

 

To date, the following issues (the “Issues”) have been completed in accordance with the Program:

 

(i) First Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,000,000,000.00 (one billion U.S. Dollars) issued on April 15, 2010, with maturity on April 15, 2020, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

 

(ii) Second Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,000,000,000.00 (one billion U.S. Dollars) issued on September 23, 2010, with maturity on January 22, 2021, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

 

(iii) Third Issue: Senior Notes amounting to US$270,000,000.00 (two hundred and seventy million U.S. Dollars) issued on November 23, 2010, with maturity on November 23, 2015, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

 

(iv) Reopening of the Second Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$250,000,000.00 (two hundred and fifty million U.S. dollars) issued on January 31, 2011, with maturity on January 22, 2021, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. These Subordinated Notes were issued and distributed by reopening the second issue of subordinated notes and are the second series of the second issue of subordinated notes under the Program. The Subordinated Notes issued in the first series and the Subordinated Notes issued in the second series of the second issue share the same ISIN and CUSIP code and are fungible with each other.

 

(v) Fourth Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$500,000,000.00 (five hundred million U.S. Dollars) issued on June 21, 2011, with final maturity on December 21, 2021, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

 

(vi) Reopening of the Fourth Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$550,000,000.000 (five hundred fifty million U.S. Dollars) issued on January 24, 2012, with maturity on December 21, 2021, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. These Subordinated Notes described here in were issued and distributed by reopening the Fourth Issue of subordinated notes and are the second series of the fourth issue of subordinated notes under the Program. The Subordinated Notes issued in the first series and the Subordinated Notes issued in the second series of the second issue share the same ISIN and CUSIP code and are fungible with each other.

 

(vii) Fifth Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,250,000,000.00 (one billion, two hundred fifty million U.S. Dollars) issued on March 19, 2012, with maturity on March 19, 2022, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

 

(viii) Sixth Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,375,000,000.00 (one billion, three hundred seventy-five million U.S. Dollars) issued on August 6, 2012, with maturity on August 6, 2022, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange; and

 

(ix) Seventh Issue: Subordinated Notes amounting to US$1,870,000,000.00 (one billion, eight hundred seventy million U.S. Dollars) issued on November 13, 2012, with maturity on May 13, 2023, which were accepted for listing and trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

  

145

The Program and the Issues impose certain conditions and restrictions on the Issuer, as follows:

 

a.Disposal of Assets and Disposal of Shareholding Control

 

As a general rule, the Issuer is allowed to dispose of all or a substantial portion of its assets, including through corporate restructuring (such as mergers and spin-off processes) without the consent of the owners of the Notes, provided that, as a result of the transactions above:

 

(i)The entity that receives these assets or succeeds the Issuer undertakes to comply with all obligations of repayment relating to the principal and interest arising from any notes issued as provided for in the Program, as well as undertaking to assume all other obligations imposed on the Issuer;

 

(ii)No event of default occurs by carrying out these transactions; and

 

(iii)From the first public announcement of the transaction and before its completion: the management of the Issuer represent to the trustee that the asset disposal is in compliance with the obligations and restrictions imposed on the Issuer, and a legal opinion is issued by the legal advisors of the Issuer on the assumption of obligations arising from the Program by the new entity that will take over the assets or that will succeed the Issuer.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to the Year Ended December 31,2011

 

Highlights

 

For the year ended December 31, 2012, consolidated net income was R$13,594 million, with annualized return on average equity of 18.4%. As at December 31, 2012, consolidated assets totaled R$1,014,425 million and consolidated stockholders’ equity was R$74,220 million, compared to R$851,332 million and R$71,347 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. As at December 31, 2012, our solvency ratio on a fully consolidated basis was 16.7%.

 

The balance of loan transactions, including endorsements and sureties, was R$426,595 million at December 31, 2012, with a 7.5% increase compared to December 31, 2011. The balance of loan transactions, including endorsements and sureties, grew at a slower pace, in 2012, as compared to 2011. The balance of loan transactions, including endorsements and guarantees, grew at a slower pace, in 2012, when compared to 2011. As at December 31, 2012, loans to individuals increased by 0.7%, while loans to companies increased by 8.8%, compared to December 31, 2011. For credit to individuals, the highlights were real estate loans and payroll loans, with increases of 34.2% and 29.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively, mainly due to the favorable environment in Brazil for mortgages and the payroll loans portfolio acquired from Banco BMG S.A., as we focused on less risky portfolios. With respect to loans to companies, the corporate portfolio increased by 15.5% in 2012, compared to December 31, 2011, and this growth was partially offset by a 1.6% decrease in the very small, small and medium sized companies’ portfolio. In 2012, the loan portfolio of our operations in Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina increased by 41.7%, compared to December 31, 2011.This increase reflects the growth of our operations outside Brazil and the depreciation of the Real against the currencies of these countries and the U.S. Dollar in the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

149

The result of allowance for loan losses (Expenses for Provision for Loan and Lease Losses net of Recovery of Credits Written off as Loss) increased by 34.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to an increase in default rate, especially due to vehicle loans and personal loans, which followed the general trends observed in the Brazilian financial market. In addition, this increase reflects the expected loss model adopted for credit risk management which anticipates a provision for losses in scenarios of expected growth in default rates. The default rate (loan operations more than 90 days overdue) was 4.8%,at December 31, 2012, representing a ten basis point decrease compared to December 31, 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we assigned to affiliated companies a $480 million portfolio of vehicle loans overdue for longer than 360 days. Excluding the impact of these assignment transactions, our 90 day non-performing loan ratio, as at December 31, 2012 would have been 4.9%. In 2013, we intend to periodically assign overdue portfolios to affiliated companies.

 

The 90-day coverage ratio (defined as our total allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans in our portfolio, which are overdue for 90 days or more) was 158%, as at December 31, 2012 compared to a 90-day coverage ratio of 153% as at December 31, 2011. When the default rate decreases, an increase in the coverage ratio is expected. The provisions for allowance for loan losses are reversed only when there is a strong indication of the recovery of overdue loans, increasing the coverage ratio. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we made up a provision of R$5,058 million to supplement the minimum level of allowance for loan losses required by CMN Resolution No. 2,682. The portfolio of renegotiated loans (including extended, modified and deferred repayments) amounted to R$19,483 million, as at December 31, 2012, representing 5.3% of our total loan portfolio, an increase of 110 basis points, compared to December 31, 2011, mainly due to an increase in the amount of renegotiated collateralized loans (mainly vehicle loans)

Income from Financial Operations

 

The table below shows the major components of our income from financial operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

   Year ended December 31, 
   2012   2011   Variation (%) 
   (In millionsof R$) 
Loan, lease and other credit operations   60,164    59,103    1.8%
Securities and derivative financial instruments   25,803    26,061    (1.0)%
Insurance, pension plan and capitalization   7,144    5,930    20.5%
Foreign exchange operations   1,283    914    40.4%
Compulsory deposits   5,484    9,359    (41.4)%
Total income from financial operations   99,878    101,366    (1.5)%

  

Income from financial operations decreased by 1.5% from R$101,366 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$99,878 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$1,488 million. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in income from compulsory deposits, partially offset by increases in income from insurance, pension plan and capitalization and from loans, leases, and other credit operations

 

Income from Loans, Leases, and Other Credit Operations, including sureties and endorsements

 

Income from loans, leases, and other credit operations increased by 1.8% from R$59,103 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$60,164 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$1,061 million. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the volume of loans and lease transactions; in particular, loans to large companies, mortgages, personal loans, and credit cards, as well as a significant increase in the volume of loans and leases denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies. This increase was offset by the higher growth in the loan portfolios of lower risk transactions and spreads lower than those with higher risk and spreads.

 

The table below shows the volume of credit transactions with loans (including endorsements and sureties) classified by type of creditor (individuals and companies), further broken down by type of product for individuals and size of customer for companies.

 

   Year ended December 31, 
   2012   2011   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
Loans to individuals   150,075    149,010    0.7%
Credit card   40,614    38,961    4.2%
Personal loans   39,928    36,219    10.2%
Vehicles   51,220    60,093    (14.8)%
Real estate loans(1)   18,047    13,450    34.2%
Rural loans(1)   266    287    (7.3)%
Loans to companies(1)   247,227    227,324    8.8%
Large companies   158,534    137,234    15.5%
Very small, small and medium market   88,693    90,090    (1.6)%
Loans to clients of subsidiaries located in Argentina/Chile/Uruguay/Paraguay   29,293    20,678    41.7%
Total of loans, leases and other credit operations (including sureties and endorsements)   426,595    397,012    7.5%

 

 

 

(1)Real estate loan and rural loan portfolios are presented within loans to individuals or loans to companies, appropriate, according to the type of client. As at December 31, 2012, the total real estate loan portfolio totaled R$25,837 million and the total rural loan portfolio totaled R$6,616 million, compared to R$19,550 million and R$5,939 million, respectively, as at December 31, 2011.

 

The total balance of our loans, leases and other credit operations, including sureties and endorsements, was R$426,595 million as at December 31, 2012, a 7.5% increase compared to the balance of R$397,012 million, as at December 31, 2011, in line with the growth of the market for private banks. Loans to individuals totaled R$150,075 million as at December 31, 2012, an increase of 0.7% compared to December 31, 2011.The credit card lending balance increased by 4.2% from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Personal loans increased by 10.2% from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of the increase in the volume of payroll loans, which increased by 29.4%, mainly due to the payroll loans acquired from Banco BMG S.A., as we focused increasingly on less risky portfolios. Vehicle financing decreased by 14.8% as at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of our stricter requirements for granting loans during this period, which have led to higher down payment requirements and shorter financing terms. Real estate loans to individuals increased by 34.2% from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012, resulting from the favorable Brazilian environment for this particular line of credit. Loans to companies totaled R$247,227 million as at December 31, 2012, an increase of 8.8%, as compared to December 31, 2011, driven primarily by increase in loans to large companies. Loans to large companies totaled R$158,534 million, as at December 31, 2012, a growth of 15.5% as compared to December 31, 2011, in particular in export/import financing, payroll loans acquired from other financial institutions and working capital facilities. The balance of our loan portfolios in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay totaled R$29,293 million, at December 31, 2012, an increase of 41.7% as compared to December 31, 2011, mostly as a result of the growth of operations in South American countries where we operate, excluding Brazil, and by the depreciation of the Real against several foreign currencies, particularly the US Dollar.

 

151

 

The portfolio of loans under renegotiation, including extended, modified and deferred repayments, amounted to R$19,483 million, as at December 31, 2012, which represents 5.3% of the total loans portfolio. As at December 31, 2012, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to the renegotiated loan portfolio was 44.7%, a 0.3 percentage point increase, as compared to December 31, 2011. As at December 31, 2012, the default rate in relation to renegotiated loans was 33.1%, an increase of 140 basis points compared to December 31, 2011.

 

Renegotiated Loans    

 

   (In millions of R$, except percentages) 
   Year Ended December 31, 
   2012   2011 
Renegotiated loans (1)   14,519    11,844 
Allowance for loan and lease losses   7,297    5,333 
Allowance for loan and lease losses/renegotiated loans   50.3%   45.0%

 

(1) Includes debt consolidation, deferment or any other arrangement that modifies the periods or conditions, of operations originally overdue.

 

We include under renegotiated loans both loans which the original terms of the contractual arrangement have been amended (agreements) and new loan transactions originated to settle contracts or transactions with the same customer (restructured loans), that were originally overdue. Amendments and restructured loans typically reflect changes in contract terms, rates or payment conditions.

 

After the amendment or restructuring, the loan which was previously overdue is no longer considered past due. The fact that a loan or lease transaction has been renegotiated is also considered in determining its specific allowance for loan and lease losses after renegotiation. The past performance and payment history of both the client and the transaction, including the redefault probability of renegotiated transactions, are considered by our risk models to determine the probability of default . This probability of default is always higher than the one attributed to similar transactions that have never been renegotiated. Another factor that is considered in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and lease losses is any additional collateral provided by the debtor. The resulting provision levels are compatible with the risk profile of each transaction.

 

Our renegotiated loan portfolio increased to 4.0% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2012, compared to 3.4% as of December 31, 2011. At the end of 2012, the ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to the renegotiated portfolio was 50.3% compared to 45.0% at December 31, 2011. This ratio increased in 2012 mainly because of an increase in the redefaulted renegotiated loans to total renegotiated loans ratio, from 29.8% as of December 31, 2011 compared to 35.4% as of December 31, 2012.

 

During 2012, the Brazilian economy experienced an increase in delinquency levels for individuals, mainly in vehicles and in personal loan portfolios. As one of the largest banks in Brazil, this increase also affected our loan portfolio. In order to increase the recovery of loan operations that are past due, including loans that have been written off as losses, and to reduce losses, we increased our collection and recovery initiatives. We require, however, that at least one installment be paid in order to consider the renegotiation to be valid and treated as a renegotiated agreement.

Income from Securities and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Income from securities and derivative financial instruments decreased by 1.0%, or R$258 million, from R$26,061 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$25,803 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.This decrease in income from securities and derivative financial instruments reflects the lower gains from derivative financial instruments used to hedge the impact of exchange rate variations on our investments in subsidiaries outside of Brazil and a reduction in the SELIC rate.

 

Income from Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization

 

Income from insurance, pension plan and capitalization increased by 20.5%, from R$5,930 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$7,144 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 (an increase of R$1,214 million). This was mainly due to increased revenue from pension plans, related to an increase in volume of 28.1%, or R$17,881 million, from R$63,605 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$81,486 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Income from Foreign Exchange Operations

 

Income from foreign exchange operations increased from R$914 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$1,283 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.This increase in income from foreign exchange operations was mainly due to higher arbitrage gains on foreign exchange operations.

 

Income from Compulsory Deposits

 

Income from compulsory deposits decreased by 41.4%, or R$3,875 million, from R$9,359 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$5,484 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. As at December 31, 2012, we had compulsory deposits of R$63,701 million compared to R$98,053 million as at December 31, 2011, of which R$55,112 million and R$90,869 million, respectively, were interest-earning. This decrease was primarily due to a change in the criteria for returns on compulsory deposits enacted by Circulars No. 3,569 and 3,576 which allowed part of the funds to be used for vehicle loan operations instead of compulsory deposits. Furthermore, the decrease in the average SELIC rate from 11.6%, during the year ended December 31, 2011 to 8.5%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 contributed to this decrease in income from compulsory deposits.

Expenses on Financial Operations

 

The following table describes the main components of our expenses on financial operations in 2012 and 2011

 

   Year ended December 31, 
   2012   2011   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
             
Money market   40,426    46,285    (12.7)%
Technical provisions for pension plan and
capitalization
   6,513    5,239    24.3%
Borrowing and on lending   2,443    2,618    (6.7)%
Total expenses on financial operations   49,382    54,143    (8.8)%

  

Expenses on financial operations decreased by 8.8%, from R$54,143 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$49,382 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$4,760 million, mainly due to the decrease in money market expenses as discussed below.

 

Money Market Expenses

 

Expenses on from money market transactions decreased by 12.7%, from R$46,285 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$40,426 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$5,859 million. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the SELIC rate, from an average rate of 11.8% during the year ended December 31, 2011 to 8.6% during the year ended December 31, 2012.This decrease was partially offset by a slight increase in the balance of deposits and the impact of exchange rate variations on liabilities denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies.

 

Expenses on Technical Provisions for Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization

 

Expenses on technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations increased by 24.3%, from R$5,239 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$6,513 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$1,274 million, mainly due to an increase of 28.1% in the volume of pension plans managed by us, from R$63,605 million as at December 31, 2011 to R$81,486 million as at December 31, 2012, due to a favorable economic environment for pension plans in Brazil.

 

Expenses on Borrowing and on lending

 

Expenses on borrowings and on lending decreased by 6.7%, or R$175 million from R$2,618 million, for year ended December 31, 2011 to R$2,443 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, mainly due to the impact of exchange rate variations on borrowing and on lending denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies.

 

Income from Financial Operations before Loan Losses

 

Income from financial operations before loan losses increased by 6.9%, from R$47,224 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$50,496 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$3,272 million, mainly as a result of the factors described in the topics of “— Income from Financial Operations” and “— Expenses on Financial Operations.”

 

Result of Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Result of allowance for loan losses increased by 34.2%, from R$14,424 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$19,362 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$4,938 million. The following table describes the main components of the result of allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

   Year ended December 31, 
   2012   2011   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
             
Expenses for allowance for loan losses   (24,025)   (19,912)   20.7%
Income from recovery of credits written off as loss   4,663    5,488    (15.0)%
Result of allowance for loan losses   (19,362)   (14,424)   34.2%

Expenses for Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Expenses relating to the allowance for loan losses increased by 20.7%, from R$19,912 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$24,025 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$4,113 million. This was due to an increase in default levels in our vehicle and personal loan portfolios and this increase also reflects the expected loss model adopted for our credit risk management, which anticipates the provision for losses in scenarios of expected growth in non-performance rates levels in addition to the minimum levels of allowances for loan losses required by Resolution No. 2,682. The default rate (loan operations more than 90 days overdue) was 4.8%, at December 31, 2012, representing a 10 basis point decrease as compared to December 31, 2011. Furthermore, this increase is also due to the 7.5% increase in the total balance of our loans, lease and other credit operations, including endorsements and sureties, during the period.

 

At December 31, 2012, the balance of the allowance for loan losses totaled R$27,745 million. Of this total, R$22,687 million relates to the minimum level required by CMN Resolution No. 2,682 and R$5,058 million relates to the complementary provision.

 

At December 31, 2012, the balance of the allowance for loan losses in relation to our loan portfolio was 7.6%, as compared to 7.5% at December 31, 2011.

 

Income from the Recovery of Credits Written Off as Losses

 

Income from the recovery of credits written off as losses decreased by 15.0%, from R$5,488 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$4,663 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$825 million. This decrease was primarily due to a change in the first quarter of 2012 in the criteria for accounting for discounts granted in the renegotiation of credits that had already been written off as losses, which previously reduced the income from financial operations (affecting loans, leases and other credit operations) and are now reflected in income from the recovery of credits written off as losses. This change in criteria would have reduced income from the recovery of credits written off as losses by R$609 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, if it had been implemented in 2011, and the income from the recovery of credits written off as losses would have decreased by 4.4%, in 2012.

 

Gross Income from Financial Operations

 

Gross income from financial operations decreased by 5.1% from R$32,800 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$31,134 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$1,666 million.

Banking Service Fees and Income from Bank Charges

 

Banking service fees and income from bank charges increased by 6.6%, from R$19,048 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$20,313 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$1,265 million.

Banking service fees increased by 4.1%, from R$13,912 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$14,488 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$576 million. This increase was mainly due to increased revenue from management fees from assets under management, which increased by R$476 million (or 18.2%) from R$2,608 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$3,084 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, mainly due to the 25.0% increase in the volume of assets under management, which increased from R$449,693 million as at December 31, 2011 to R$561,958 million as at December 31, 2012. We also saw an increase of 8.4%, or R$120 million, in other banking service fees, primarily due to higher revenue from the investment banking unit, mainly relating to economic and financial advisory activities. In addition, income from collection services increased by 8.0%, from R$1,333 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$1,440 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$107 million. This was due to an increase in operational activity. The growing volume of our transactions with customers was partially offset by recent reductions in some of our banking service fees.

 

Income from bank charges increased by 13.4%, from R$5,135 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$5,825 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$690 million, principally due to an increase in income from credit cards of R$429 million or 30.9%, from R$1,386 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$1,814 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was also related to an increase of 53.7% or R$817 million in income from checking account services, mainly due to the greater volume of transactions and sales of new service packages. These increases were partially offset by the suspension in the collection of charges on contract amendments and the decrease in vehicle financing and leasing transactions.

 

Results of Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Operations

 

Results from insurance, pension plans and capitalization operations increased by 10.2%, from R$2,714 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$2,990 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$276 million. The increase in our results from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations was mainly affected by the increases in premiums and contributions, together with increases in the volume of sales of insurance products.

 

Personnel Expenses

 

Personnel expenses increased by 5.0%, from R$13,356 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$14,027 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$671 million. This increase in personnel expenses was mainly a result of the increase in expenses related to employee terminations and labor claims in connection with the restructuring process, as discussed below. This increase was also due to the collective bargaining agreements reached in September 2011, which increased both compensation and benefits by 9.0% for all employees, and in September 2012, which further increased compensation by 7.5% and benefits by 8.5%.The number of employees decreased by 7.8% from 104,542 employees at December 31, 2011 to a total of 96,977 employees as at December 31, 2012, mainly due to restructuring initiatives in our consumer business unit, which were intended to integrate systems and processes into a single platform, in order to capture synergies across our consumer operations and in connection with a strategic review of certain businesses (as part of this review, certain positions within our consumer business were transferred to our retail partners) and, to a lesser extent, due to the sale of Orbitall, which reduced the number of our employees by 1,231.

 

Other Administrative Expenses

 

Other administrative expenses increased by 0.7%, from R$14,100 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$14,192 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$92 million. This increase in other administrative expenses was mainly due to inflation, which affected most contracts and costs such as those related to public services and other needed for the organic growth of our operations. We also recorded increased expenses related to higher operating activity, especially regarding related to data processing and communications, services from third parties, including marketing, advisory and consulting services, and financial systems services.

 

Tax Expenses

 

Tax expenses increased by 9.6%, from R$4,092 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, to R$4,485 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$393 million. This increase in tax expenses was mainly due to increased operational activity.

 

Equity in Earnings of Affiliates and Other Investments

 

Equity in earnings of affiliates and other investments increased to a gain of R$335 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to a gain of R$40 million, for the year ended December 31, 2011, mainly due to the adjustment to our investment in Banco BPI in order to reflect its market value based on its share price before the sale to La Caixa Group on April 20, 2012.

Other Operating Revenues

 

Other operating revenues decreased by 29.3% from R$393 million, for year ended December 31, 2011 to R$278 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$115 million, mainly related to the reversal of operating provisions amounting to R$92 million in the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

Other operating expenses increased by 16.7% from R$5,192 million for year ended December 31, 2011, to R$6,058 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of R$866 million mainly due to changes in 2012 to the criteria in the model for provisions increasing provisions for contingencies related to lawsuits primarily in connection with economic plans, and tax, pension plan and civil lawsuits.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income decreased by 10.8%, from R$18,255 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$16,289 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$1,966 million.

 

Non-Operating Income

 

Non-operating income increased from R$191 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$1,242 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of the sale of our investment in Serasa S.A. for the amount of R$1,542 million, which was partially offset by expenses incurred in connection with the sale of our investment in Banco BPI to La Caixa Group and the loss of revenue due to the sale of Orbitall.

 

Income before Taxes on Income and Profit Sharing

 

Income before taxes on income and profit sharing decreased by 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2011, from R$18,445 million to R$17,531 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$914 million.

 

Income Tax and Social Contribution Expenses

 

The table below shows the major components of our income tax and social contribution expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

   Year ended December 31, 
   2012   2011   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
             
Income before income tax and social contribution   17,531    18,445    (5.0)%
Charges (income tax and social contribution) at the rates in effect   (7,012)   (7,378)   (5.0)%
Increase/decrease to income tax and social contribution charges arising from:               
(Additions) exclusions   3,788    4,523    (16.2)%
Foreign exchange variation on investments abroad   617    1,097    (43.8)%
Interest on capital   1,789    1,662    7.6%
Dividends, interest on external debt bonds and tax incentives   188    280    (32.7)%
Prior period increases (reversal)   738    392    88.3%
Other   456    1,092    (58.2)%
Total income tax and social contribution expense   (3,224)   (2,855)   12.9%

  

Income tax and social contributions increased by 12.9%, from an expense of R$2,855 million for year ended December 31, 2011 to an expense of R$3,224 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.The main factor that contributed to this increase was the foreign exchange variations discussed below. In 2012, the Real depreciated 8.9% in relation to the U.S. Dollar.

 

Total tax on income is composed of current income tax and deferred tax. Certain amounts of income and expenses are recognized in our income statement but do not affect our taxable basis and certain amounts are treated as taxable income or deductible expenses in determining our taxes on income, but do not affect our income statement. These items are known as “permanent differences.” For Brazilian tax purposes, exchange rate gains and losses on our investments in subsidiaries abroad are not taxable if they represent a gain, or are not deductible if they represent a loss, but instead constitute permanent differences. From an economic perspective, we hedge our investments in our subsidiaries abroad using foreign currency denominated liabilities or derivative instruments. The gains or losses on derivative instruments and the exchange rate gains and losses on foreign currency denominated liabilities are taxable or deductible for Brazilian taxes purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the depreciation of the Real against the foreign currencies in which our subsidiaries operate generated gains that were not recognized for tax purposes. The depreciation of the Real generated taxable losses on derivatives instruments used as economic hedges, and taxable exchange rate gains on liabilities used as economic hedges.

Profit Sharing

 

The profit sharing of members of our management decreased by 17.2%, from R$192 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to R$159 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$33 million.

 

Minority Interests in Subsidiaries

 

Results from minority interest in subsidiaries decreased from an expense of R$777 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, to an expense of R$554 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of R$223 million, mainly due to our acquisition of shares from the minority shareholders of Redecard S.A. (Redecard).For additional information.

 

The comparisons between the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 should be read together with.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2010

 

Highlights

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was R$14,621 million, with an annualized return on average equity of 22.3%, compared to 24.1% for 2010. As at December 31, 2011, consolidated assets totaled R$851,332 million and total stockholders’ equity was R$71,347 million. As of the same date the Company’s solvency ratio on a fully consolidated basis was 16.4%.

 

The balance of credit transactions, including sureties and endorsements, was R$397,012 million as at December 31, 2011, a 19.1% increase, compared to December 31, 2010. As at December 31, 2011, credit to individuals increased by 17.2%, while credit to companies increased by 18.4%, compared to December 31, 2010. For credit to individuals, the highlights were Real estate loans, credit cards and personal loans, with increases of 66.7%, 18.0% and 41.5%, respectively. With respect to credit to companies, the very small, small and medium-sized companies’ portfolio increased by 13.8%, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, while the corporate portfolio increased by 21.7% during the same period. The balance of sureties and endorsements was R$51,530 million as at December 31, 2011, a 34.5% increase as compared to December 31, 2010.

 

The result of allowance for loan losses increased by 45.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. Expenses for the allowance for loan losses increased by 41.0%, from R$14,121 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$19,912 million for 2011, an increase of R$5,791 million. This growth is primarily due to increased default levels, the increase in our credit portfolio and the new model for expected losses adopted in our credit risk management, based on the broad concept of Basel II, which considers potential losses on revolving loans. This model replaces the previous one, which contained, besides expected losses, the concept of countercyclical provisions, which are treated as a capital cushion according to the Basel III precepts. The adoption of this model resulted in an R$1,573 million allowance reversal gross of taxes, in the fourth quarter 2010. As at December 31, 2011, the ratio of 90-day non-performing loans, as a percentage of our total credit portfolio, increased to 4.9%, compared to 4.2% as at December 31, 2010. Credit under renegotiation, including extended, modified and deferred repayments, increased to 4.2% of our total portfolio, as at December 31, 2011, compared to 3.1%, as at December 31, 2010.

 

The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, reflected a significant impact of exchange rate variations. The exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Real changed significantly. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Real depreciated by 12.6% against the U.S. dollar, while, in 2010, the Real appreciated by 4.3% against the U.S. Dollar.

 

In 2011, there was a change in the basis of consolidating for Financeira Itaú CBD from full to partial consolidation, and for Porto Seguro from consolidation to recognition under the equity method. See Note 2(b) to our annual consolidated financial statements.

Income from Financial Operations

 

The table below shows the major components of our income from financial operations, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

   2011   2010   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
Loan, lease and other credit operations   59,103    51,315    15.2%

This increase is primarily due to increases in income from compulsory deposits, income from securities and derivative financial instruments, income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization products and income from loan, lease and other credit operations. The increase in income from compulsory deposits reflects the impact of new requirements implemented by the Central Bank during 2010, increasing significantly the required volume of such deposits. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in income from foreign exchange operations.

 

Income from Loans, Leases and Other Credit Operations

 

Income from loans, leases and other credit operations increased by 15.2% from R$51,315 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$59,103 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of R$7,788 million. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the volume of loans and lease transactions, in particular of loans to companies, vehicle financing, credit card and personal loans, as well as an increase in the volume of loans and leases denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies.

 

The table below shows the performance of credit transactions with loans (including sureties and endorsements) classified by type of creditor (individuals and companies), further broken down by type of product for individuals and by size of customer for companies.

(1)Mortgage loan and rural loan portfolios are presented within loans to individuals or loans to companies, as appropriate, according to the type of client. As of December 31, 2011, the total mortgage loan portfolio totaled R$19,550 million and the total rural loan portfolio totaled R$5,939 million, compared to R$13,257 million and R$5,425 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.

 

The total balance of our loans, lease and other credit operations, including sureties and endorsements, was R$397,012 million, as of December 31, 2011, a 19.1% increase compared to the balance of R$333,427 million, as of December 31, 2010.Loans to individuals totaled R$149,010 million as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 17.2% compared to December 31, 2010. The balance of credit card lending increased by 18.0%, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Credit card lending is an increasingly important tool that we use to acquire new customers, particularly low-income individuals. Personal loans increased by 41.5%, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of growth in loan volume at Unibanco branches, now integrated with the Itaú Unibanco network, and the revision of credit lines along with growth in number of clients while vehicle financing remained steady, compared to 2010.Real estate loans to individuals increased by 66.7%, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, resulting from the favorable Brazilian economic environment. Loans to companies totaled R$227,324 million as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 18.4%, when compared to December 31, 2010, driven primarily by a 21.7% increase in loans to large companies totaling R$137,234 million, as of December 31, 2011.Loans to very small, small and middle market companies increased 13.8% compared to December 31, 2010, mainly in the sub segment of medium-sized companies. The balance of our loan portfolios in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay totaled R$20,678 million, as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 43.6% compared to December 31, 2010, primarily driven by our growth of operations outside of Brazil, and also influenced by the appreciation of the real against these countries’ currencies.

 

Income from Securities and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Income from securities and derivative financial instruments increased by 39.3% (or R$7,347 million) from R$18,714 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$26,061 million for 2011.This increase in income from securities and derivative financial instruments reflects the higher base annual average rate (SELIC) in Brazil in 2011 (average 11.6%) compared to that in 2010 (average 9.8%), along with the increase in the average balance of securities in 2011, and higher gains from derivative financial instruments used to hedge the impact of exchange rate variations on our investments in subsidiaries outside of Brazil.

 

Income from Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Operations

 

Income from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations increased by 31.4%, from R$4,513 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$5,930 million for 2011, an increase of R$1,417 million. This was mainly due to increased revenue from pension plans, related to an increase in volume from operations and technical reserves from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations, and also due to the increase in average interest rates from period to period.

Income from Foreign Exchange Operations

 

Income from foreign exchange operations decreased by 6.7%, or R$66 million, from R$980 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$914 million for 2011.This decrease in income from foreign exchange operations was mainly due to lower arbitrage gains on foreign exchange operations.

 

Income from Compulsory Deposits

 

Income from compulsory deposits increased by 127.9%, or R$5,253 million, from R$4,106 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$9,359 million for 2011. Regulatory requirements related to compulsory deposits changed during 2010, increasing significantly the required volume of deposits and consequently impacting on income from compulsory deposits. As at December 31, 2011, we had compulsory deposits of R$98,053 million, compared to R$85,776 million as at December 31, 2010, of which R$92,323 million and R$81,034 million, respectively, were interest-earning.

This increase was mainly due to the increase in the annual average SELIC rate, from 9.8% in 2010 to 11.6% in 2011, and an increase in the balance of deposits. In addition to the impact of exchange rate variations on liabilities denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies.

Expenses from technical provisions for insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations increased by 33.4%, from R$3,928 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$5,239 million for 2011, an increase of R$1,311 million, mainly due to the increase in the volume of technical provisions for pension plans, which increased 21.8% in 2011, from R$60,551 million to R$73,754 million.

 

Expenses from Borrowing and Onlending

 

Expenses from borrowing and onlending increased by 170.2% or R$1,649 million, from R$969 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$2,618 million for 2011, mainly due to the impact of exchange rate variations on borrowing and onlending denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies.

 

Income from Financial Operations before Loan Losses

 

Our income from financial operations before loan losses increased by 5.8%, from R$44,648 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$47,224 million for 2011, an increase of R$2,576 million, mainly as a result of the factors described above under “Income from Financial Operations” and “Expenses from Financial Operations.”

Results of Loan Losses

 

The results of loan losses increased 45.5%, from R$9,911 million, for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$14,424 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of R$4,513 million. The following table describes the main components of our results relating to the allowance for loan losses, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
   2011   2010   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
Expenses for allowance for loan losses   (19,912)   (14,121)   41.0%
Income from recovery of credits written off as losses   5,488    4,209    30.4%
Results of allowance for loan losses   (14,424)   (9,911)   45.5%

 

Expenses for Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The expenses relating to the allowance for loan losses increased by 41.0%, from R$14,121 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$19,912 million for 2011, an increase of R$5,791 million. This growth was primarily due to an increased level of defaults, and to the increase of our credit portfolio. Further, since the fourth quarter of 2010, the additional provision for loan and lease losses has begun to reflect the model for expected losses adopted in our credit risk management approach, based on the broad concept of Basel II, which considers potential losses on revolving loans. This model replaces a former one, which contained, besides expected losses, the concept of countercyclical provisions, which were treated as a capital cushion according to the Basel III precepts. In anticipation of the implementation of this model, we exceeded by R$270 million the minimum level of provision required by CMN Resolution No. 2,682 in 2011.

 

As at December 31, 2011, the balance of the allowance for loan losses totaled R$25,772 million. Of this total, R$20,713 million relates to the minimum level required by CMN Resolution No. 2,682 and R$5,058 million relates to the complementary provision.

 

As at December 31, 2011, the balance of the allowance for loan losses in relation to our loan portfolio was equivalent to 7.5%, remaining stable from the same rate as at December 31, 2010.

 

The increase in renegotiations of loans previously written off as losses observed in 2011 resulted in an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses. For these renegotiations, we fully accrued the debit balance so as not to generate any result until a strong indication of loan recovery was obtained. Under this practice, our provision expenses increases because the related loans were already overdue, and thus had been accrued and recognized as losses in the past. This expenses growth is neutralized by the increase in income from recovery of loans written off as losses, without impact on net income.

 

Income from Recovery of Credit Written Off as Losses

 

Income from recovery of credit written off as losses increased by 30.4%, from R$4,209 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$5,488 million, for 2011, an increase of R$1.279 million. Our improved collection efforts were the main reason for this increase.

 

Gross Income from Financial Operations

 

Gross income from financial operations decreased by 5.6%, from R$34,736 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$32,800 million for 2011, a decrease of R$1,936 million, primarily due to increased expenses relating to loan losses.

 

Other Operating Revenue (Expenses)

 

The table below shows the main components of our other operating revenue (expenses), for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Banking Service Fees and Income from Bank Charges

 

Our banking service fees and income from bank charges increased by 11.4% from R$17,101 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$19,048 million for 2011, an increase of R$1,947 million.

 

Banking service fees increased by 12.7%, from R$12,341 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$13,912 million for 2011, an increase of R$1,571 million. This increase was mainly due to increased revenue from credit card transactions, which increased R$827 million, or 15.7%, from R$5,284 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$6,111 million for the same period in 2011, primarily due to a higher volume of invoice discounts for retailers, the growth in the number of credit card customers, the increased use of credit cards as the method of payment in commercial transactions and an increased offering of consumer credit lines, such as cash advances, offered by us through retailers. Fees from assets under management increased by R$122 million, or 4.9%, from R$2,486 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$2,608 million for the same period in 2011, due to an 11.0% increase in the volume of assets under management, which increased from R$363,818 million as at December 31, 2010, to R$403,906 million as at December 31, 2011. Income from sureties and credits granted increased by 20.7% from R$1,460 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$1,762 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of R$302 million. This change is related to an increase in our operational activity. We also had an increase of 18.3%, or R$220 million, in other banking service fees, primarily due to higher revenue from the investment banking unit, mainly those related to economic and financial advisory activities.

 

Income from bank charges increased by 7.9%, from R$4,760 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$5,135 million for 2011, an increase of R$375 million, mainly due to fees for loan transactions and service packages on a greater volume of transactions.

 

Results from Insurance, Pension Plan and Capitalization Operations

 

Our results from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations increased by 29.2%, from R$2,100 million, for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$2,714 million, for 2011, an increase of R$614 million. The increase in our results from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations was mainly affected by the increases in premiums and contributions, together with increases in the volume of sales of insurance products.

 

Personnel Expenses

 

Our personnel expenses increased by 7.3%, from R$12,452 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$13,356 million for 2011, an increase of R$904 million. This increase in personnel expenses was mainly due to the impact of the labor union agreement reached in September 2010, which increased compensation by 7.5%, for employees earning R$5,250 per month or less, and by the greater of (i) 4.29%, and (ii) a fixed amount of R$393.75 per month, for employees earning over R$5,250 per month. The agreement also established an increase of 7.5% in benefits for all employees. Finally the labor union agreement, reached in September 2011, increased compensation by 9.0% for all employees. The agreement also established an increase of 9.0% in the benefits for all employees. In addition, we experienced a 3.2% decrease in the number of employees to a total of 104,542 employees as at December 31, 2011, compared to December 31, 2010, primarily because of reductions in personnel, as a result of restructuring initiatives in our consumer business unit, which were intended to integrate systems and processes into a single platform in order to capture synergies across our consumer operations and in connection with a strategic review of certain businesses. As part of this review, certain positions within our consumer business were transferred to our retail partners.

Other Administrative Expenses

 

Our administrative expenses increased by 3.7%, from R$13,598 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$14,100 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of R$502 million. This increase in other administrative expenses was mainly due to our organic growth, in particular in the very small, small and middle market companies market. We also recorded increased expenses related to higher operating activity, especially those related to data processing and communication and services from third parties, including marketing, advisory and consulting services, and financial systems services. In addition, a portion of our expenses is subject to readjustment according to cumulative consumer inflation in Brazil, which reached 6.5% in 2011 according to IBGE/IPCA.

 

Tax Expenses

 

Our tax expenses decreased by 1.8%, from R$4,168 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$4,092 million for 2011, a decrease of R$76 million. The decrease is mainly due to the results of the hedge of our investments in subsidiaries outside of Brazil using foreign-currency denominated liabilities or derivative instruments which are deductible for the purpose of Brazilian taxes.

 

Equity in the Earnings of Affiliates and Other Investments

 

Equity in the earnings of affiliates and other investments decreased by 90.5%, from R$423 million, for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$40 million, for 2011, a decrease of R$383 million, due to an adjustment to our investment in Banco BPI to reflect its market value based on its share price as at December 30, 2011.

 

Other Operating Revenue

 

Our other operating revenue decreased by 25.7%, from R$529 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$393 million for 2011, a decrease of R$136 million.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

Our other operating expenses increased by 17.6%, from R$4,415 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$5,192 million for 2011, an increase of R$777 million, mainly due to an increase in the provision for civil lawsuits.

 

Operating Income

 

Our operating income decreased by 9.9%, from R$20,255 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, to R$18,255 million for 2011, a decrease of R$2,030 million.

 

Non-Operating Income

 

Our non-operating income increased from R$81 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$191 million for 2011, an increase of R$110 million.

 

Income before Taxes on Income and Profit Sharing

 

Our income before taxes on income and profit sharing decreased by 9.3% from R$20,336 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$18,445 million for 2011, a decrease of R$1,891 million.

Income Tax and Social Contribution (Expenses) Benefit

 

The table below shows the major components of our income tax and social contribution expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
   2011   2010   Variation (%) 
   (In millions of R$) 
Income before income tax and social contributions   18,445    20,336    (9.3)%
Charges (income tax and social contributions) at the rates in effect   (7,378)   (8,134)   (9.3)%
Increase (decrease) to income tax and social contribution charges arising from:               
(Additions) exclusions   4,523    2,248    101.2%
Foreign exchange variations on investments abroad   1,097    (372)   (394.9)%
Interest on capital   1,662    1,496    11.1%
Dividends, interest on external debt bonds and tax incentives   280    298    (6.0)%
Prior period increases (reversal)   392    626    (37.4)%
Others   1,092    201    443.3%
Total income tax and social contribution expenses   (2,855)   (5,886)   (51.5)%

 

Income tax and social contributions decreased 51.5%, to an expense of R$2,855 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to an expense of R$5,886 million for 2010. The main factor that contributed to this increase was the results of the hedges of our investments in subsidiaries outside of Brazil by using foreign-currency denominated liabilities or derivative instruments which are deductible for purposes of Brazilian taxes.

 

Our total tax on income is composed of current income tax and deferred tax. Certain amounts of income and expenses are recognized in our income statement, but do not affect our taxable basis and, conversely, certain amounts are taxable income or deductible expenses for the purpose of determining our taxes on income, but do not affect our statements of income. Those items are known as “permanent differences.” For Brazilian tax purposes, exchange rate gains and losses on our investments in subsidiaries abroad are not taxable if they represent a gain or are not deductible. If they represent a loss, they constitute a permanent difference. From an economic perspective, we hedged our investments in subsidiaries outside of Brazil by using foreign-currency denominated liabilities or derivative instruments. The gains or losses on derivative instruments and the exchange rate gains or losses on foreign-currency denominated liabilities are taxable or deductible for the purpose of calculating Brazilian taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the depreciation of the Real against the foreign currencies in which our subsidiaries operate generated losses that were not deductible for tax purposes. The depreciation of the Real generated taxable gains on derivatives instruments used as economic hedges and taxable exchange rate gains on liabilities used as economic hedges.

 

Profit Sharing

 

The profit sharing with members of management decreased by 26.4%, from R$261 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$192 million for 2011, a decrease of R$69 million.

 

Minority Interests in Subsidiaries

 

The results from minority interests in subsidiaries decreased from an expense of R$866 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to an expense of R$777 million for 2011, a decrease of R$89 million. This was mainly as a result of decreased earnings from our minority interest in Redecard.

10.2– Directors should comment on:

 

b)Changes in revenue arising from changes in prices, foreign exchange rates, inflation, volumes and the introduction of new products and services
c)Impact of inflation, changes in the prices of main inputs and products, foreign exchange rates and interest rates on operating and financial income and expenses

 

There were no significant variations in income attributable to changes in the prices of our main inputs and products, exchange rates and inflation in the reporting periods (2012, 2011 and 2010).

 

The market risk represents the possibility of incurring losses arising from fluctuations in the market value of the positions held by a financial institution, including the risk of transactions subject to variations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and share and commodity prices, among other indexes on these risk factors.

 

The structural gap, composed of commercial transactions and respective financial instruments, has been historically steady and with minor fluctuations, because it mainly represents the assets and liabilities of retail and derivative transactions used as hedges against market risk arising from these operations.

 

The Value at Risk (VaR) of the consolidated (the exposure to market risk of the portfolios of Itaú Unibanco andits foreign subsidiaries) maintained its higher levels over 2012, compared to the previous year, which may be observed in the Average Global VaR. During the period, we maintained our conservative management and diversified portfolio, and operated within reduced limits in relation to the bank’s capital.

 

Additionally, we adopted a foreign exchange risk management strategy for capital invested abroad, for which the purpose is to not allow any impact on the results due to exchange variations. To prevent the result to be exposed to exchange variation, it is necessary to build a liability position which volume is higher than the balance of the hedged asset, the so-called overhedge.

 

Our strategy to hedge investments abroad also considers the impact of all related tax effects: on those related to the non-taxation or deductibility of the foreign exchange variations in the respective moments of appreciation or devaluation, respectively, of the Real in relation to foreign currencies, or on those arising from the derivative financial instruments used.

 

In periods when variations between the Real and foreign currencies are considerable, there is a significant impact on several financial income and expenses.

 

The Financial Margin with the Market (arising from the trading of financial assets through proprietary positions, the gap management of currencies, interest rates and other risk factors, the opportunities for arbitrage in the foreign and domestic markets, as well as the marking to market of financial assets) totaled R$3,801million in 2012, R$3,785 million in 2011, and R$4,029 million in 2010. The increase of R$16.0 million in the financial margin with the market in 2012,in relation to 2011, was influenced by the higher result in proprietary positions.

 

In compliance with CVM Regulatory Instruction No. 475, of December 17, 2008, Itaú Unibanco Holding carried out a sensitivity analysis for market risk factors which were considered relevant. Each market risk factor was analyzed for sensitivity, using shocks of 25% and 50%, both for growth and for contractions. The highest resulting losses, per risk factor, in each of the scenarios, were presented together with their impact on income, net of tax effects, in order to provide a view of Itaú Unibanco’s exposure in exceptional scenarios.

 

Market risk is measured considering the portfolio separation between the trading and banking portfolios, according to the criteria established by the New Capital Accords (Basel II) and by the following regulations: BACEN Circular 3,354, of June 27, and CVM Resolution No. 3,464.

 

The sensitivity analyses, shown below, represent a steady assessment of the portfolio exposure, and therefore do not consider the dynamic response capacity of management (in the treasury and control areas) to put mitigating measures into effect whenever a situation of loss or high risk is identified, thus minimizing the possibility of significant losses. In addition, we would point out that the results presented will not necessarily translate into accounting results, because the study's sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risks and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by the institutions.

 

The trading portfolio consists of all transactions, including derivatives, which are held with the intention of trading in the short term or of hedging other financial instruments of this portfolio, and that are not subject to limitations on their marketability. These are transactions designated for obtaining benefits from price movements, actual or expected in the short term or arbitration opportunities.

(*) Amounts net of tax effects.

 

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

 

Scenario I: Addition of one base point to the fixed-rate curve, currency coupon, inflation, and interest rate indices, and one percentage point in currency and share prices, which is based on market information (BM&F BOVESPA, Anbima, etc).

 

Scenario II: Shocks at 25 base points to the fixed-rate curve, currency coupon, inflation, and interest rate indices, and 25 base points to currency and share prices, both for growth and for drops, taking into consideration the highest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

Scenario III: Shocks at 50 base points to the fixed-rate curve, currency coupon, inflation, and interest rate indices, and 50 base points to currency and share prices, both for growth and for drops, taking into consideration the highest resulting losses per risk factor.

 

The Balance Sheet per Currency shows the asset and liability balances indexed to the local currency and those indexed to foreign currencies. As at December 31, 2012, the net foreign exchange position, including investments abroad, was a liability totaling US$6,817 million. We point out that the policy of gap management that we have adopted takes into consideration the tax effects of this position. As the results of foreign exchange variations on investments abroad are not taxed, we have set up a hedge (liability positions in foreign exchange derivatives) at a higher volume than the hedged asset, so that the total results from foreign exchange variations, net of tax effects, is practically null and, therefore, consistent with the strategy of low risk exposure that we adopted.

2012

 

Public Tender Offer of Redecard

 

On February 7, 2012, Itaú Unibanco Holding announced its intention to acquire, directly or through its affiliates, all outstanding shares of Redecard S.A. (“Redecard”), through a public tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) aimed at cancelling Redecard’s authorization as a publicly-held company registered with the CVM. The Tender Offer targeted the acquisition of common shares of Redecard corresponding to approximately 50% of its share capital. On April 12, 2012, Itaú Unibanco Holding confirmed that the price to be paid in cash would be R$35.00 per share (the “Tender Offer Price”). The Tender Offer was successfully completed on September 24, 2012.

 

As a result of the auction, Itaú Unibanco Holding acquired, through its affiliate Banestado Participações, Administração e Serviços Ltda. (“Banestado”), 298,989,137 common shares of Redecard, representing 44.4% of Redecard’s capital stock, and then holding 94.4% of Redecard’s capital stock. On October 18, 2012, Redecard’s registration as a publicly held company was cancelled. In December 2012, the issuer held, through its affiliates, 100.0% of Redecard’s shares. The shares were purchased at the Tender Offer Price for a total amount of R$11,752 million (including the auction). The difference between the amount paid and the amount corresponding to the minority interest was recognized directly in Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity, under Revenue Reserves, in the amount of R$11,151 million restated up to December 31, 2012, which net of taxes totaled R$7,360 million. For further information, see note 2-c to our Financial Statements.

 

BMG Association

 

On July 9, 2012, Itaú Unibanco entered into an association agreement with Banco BMG S.A. (“Banco BMG”), a privately-held Brazilian bank, forming a joint venture for the distribution of payroll loans in Brazil (the “BMG Association”). The BMG Association is structured as a new financial institution, BancoItaú BMG Consignado S.A. (the “Association”), controlled by Itaú Unibanco, who holds, indirectly, 70.0% of the shares issued by the Association. BMG holds the remaining 30.0% stake in the Association. The initial stockholders’ equity of the Association was approximately R$1 billion. Itaú Unibanco has the right to nominate the majority of the board of directors of the Association and the majority of the officers of the Association, including the Chief Executive Officer. Banco BMG has the right to appoint the officers responsible for the commercial, back-office and collection divisions of the Association, subject to Itaú Unibanco’s approval.

 

Banco BMG will share its distribution channels operated through banking agents (correspondents bancários) with the Association, which has the right to grant 70.0% of the payroll loans generated by such distribution channels. The remaining 30.0% of such loans may be granted directly by Banco BMG.

 

The payroll loans granted to Itaú Unibanco’s clients through Itaú Unibanco’s branches and other exclusive Itaú Unibanco channels will remain separate from the operations of the Association. Itaú Unibanco will also provide funding for Banco BMG’s payroll loan transactions of up to R$300 million per month, for a five-year term, through the acquisitions of payroll credit portfolios. Itaú Unibanco and its affiliates also have the right to offer their products and services to the Association’s customers.

 

Following approval of this transaction by CADE, definitive agreements governing the BMG Association were executed on December 13, 2012, and included an investment agreement governing each party’s rights and obligations under the Association, and an agreement for the provision of funding through assignment of credit rights governing Itaú Unibanco’s provision of funds to Banco BMG. The transaction closed on January 7, 2013 and it has been subject to ongoing review by the Central Bank.

10.4. Directors should comment on:

 

a) significant changes in accounting practices

 

2012

 

The preparation and disclosure of financial statements relied upon conceptual structure that is in accordance with the provisions in Resolution nº 4,144/12, of the Central Bank of Brazil, to the extent not conflicting with previously issued rules.

 

2011

 

Subsequent events, beginning 2011, were recognized in accordance with Resolution No. 3,973/11 of the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

The Accounting Policies, Changes in Estimates and Correction of Errors, beginning 2011, were recognized in accordance with Resolution No. 4,007/11 of the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

2010

 

The accounting practices regarding employee benefits, beginning 2010, were applied in accordance with CVM Resolution No. 600, of July 10, 2009.

 

b) significant effects of the changes in accounting practices

 

The following were the significant effects on the accounting practices:

 

As from January 2012, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, according to Resolution nº 3,533/08, changed the accounting and disclosure of financial assets sale or transfer transactions in which risk is retained, that is, transactions in which we are the assignors, the asset is no longer written off and income may not be immediately recognized. With respect to transactions in which we are the assignees, the amounts paid in the acquisition must be accounted for as rights receivables from the assignor and income will be recognized for the remainder of the term of the agreements acquired.

 

As from July 2011, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, in accordance with Circular Letter No. 3,516/11 of the Central Bank of Brazil, no longer recognizes a provision (in liabilities) in addition to the mandatory minimum dividend.

 

As from December 31, 2010, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, in accordance with CVM Resolution No. 600/09, recognizes as assets the difference, if positive, between the fair value of the assets of a plan and the actuarial liabilities, taking into consideration the limit of a defined benefit asset.

 

c) qualifications and emphases presented in the auditor’s report

 

There were no qualifications and emphases presented by the auditor for 2010, 2011, and 2012.

 

10.5. Directors should indicate and comment on the critical accounting policies adopted by the Issuer, in particular, accounting estimates made by management on uncertain and relevant issues for describing the financial position and results of operations that require subjective or complex judgment, such as: provisions, contingencies, revenue recognition, tax credits, long-lived assets, useful life of non-current assets, pension plans, foreign currency translation adjustments, environmental recovery costs, criteria for asset and financial instrument impairment tests

 

General

 

Our main accounting policies are described in Note 4 to our annual consolidated financial statements, in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, applicable to the financial institutions authorised to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010. The preparation of the financial statements involves certain assumptions that are derived from historical experience and various other factors that we deem reasonable and relevant. While we review these estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business, the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations often requires our management to make judgments on matters that are inherently uncertain. The following discussion describes the areas that require the most judgment or involve a higher degree of complexity in the application of the accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

173

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Brazilian GAAP requires Management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the balance of assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities disclosed at the date of the financial statements and the amounts disclosed for revenues, expenses, gains and losses during the reporting periods and subsequent periods, as effective results may differ from those ascertained based on such estimates and assumptions.

 

These estimates and assumptions are used, for example, for the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the selection of useful lives for certain assets, the determination of whether a specific asset or group of assets has been impaired, the expected realizable amount of deferred tax assets, the market value of certain financial instruments, the classification and computation of contingent liabilities and the amount of technical provisions for insurance, pension plans and capitalization. All estimates and assumptions used by the Management are in accordance withthe accounting practices adopted in Brazil and are the best current estimates made in accordance with applicable standards. Estimates and judgment are assessed continuously, considering past experience and other factors.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses represents our estimate of the probable losses on our loan and lease portfolio at the end of each reporting period. The allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated taking into consideration the classification of loan losses in one of nine different risk levels (from AA through H). The classification of the risk levels is a judgment that takes into consideration the economic and political situation, credit quality trends, past experience and the portfolio’s specific and global risks, as well as Central Bank and CMN guidelines. CMN rules specify a minimum allowance for loan and lease losses and other extensions of credit in each rating category ranging from zero per cent (in the case of a credit that is not in arrears) to 100.0% (in the case of any credit that is more than 180 days in arrears). In addition to recognizing allowances for loan and lease losses in accordance with the CMN minimum requirements, we also recognize an allowance that we identify as “generic,” which represents our estimate of the allowance as of any given date based on our historic loss experience, which, beginning on December 31, 2010, is measured using models employed in credit risk management based on Basel II. Beginning in 2010, we included as part of the “additional allowance” countercyclical provision. As from December 31, 2010, we improved the criteria for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses, under Basel II guidelines, which determined that the countercyclical effects be buffered in the Base of Capital.

 

The methodologies to compute the generic allowance depend on several criteria including the criteria used to segment our loan portfolio, the period used to measure our historical losses, the specific method used to measure such historical losses, the impact of our loan granting criteria on losses over time and other factors. Additionally, the methodologies used to measure the additional allowance also depend on significant judgments, including the relationship between the level of loan losses observed and economic factors as of any given date.

 

Market Value of Financial Instruments

 

In accordance with Brazilian GAAP and specific rules of the Central Bank, we record some of our financial instruments at market value. Financial instruments recorded at market value on our balance sheet include mainly securities classified as trading, available-for-sale, and other trading assets, including derivatives. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at their amortized cost on our balance sheet, and their corresponding market values are disclosed in the notes to our annual consolidated financial statements.

 

Market value is defined as the value at which a position could be closed out or sold in a transaction with a willing and knowledgeable party. We estimate market value using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, we use a variety of sources, which include dealer quotes, pricing models and quoted prices of instruments with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The market value of financial instruments, including derivatives that are not traded in active markets, is determined by using valuation techniques. Similarly, judgment must be applied in estimating prices when no external parameters exist. Other factors that can affect the estimates include incorrect model assumptions and unexpected correlations. While we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies and assumptions to determine the market value of certain instruments could result in a different estimate of market value at the reporting date, which may affect the amount of revenue or loss recorded for a specific asset or liability. Judgments are also required to determine whether a decline in market value below amortized costs is permanent in available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities, therefore requiring cost basis to be written down and recognition of related effects on our results of operations. Factors that are used by our management in determining whether a decline is permanent include mainly the observed period of the loss, the degree of the loss and the expectation, as of the date of analysis, as to the potential for realization of the security.

 

174

 

Contingent Liabilities

 

We are currently party to civil, labor, and social security proceedings arising from the normal course of our business. We normally make provisions for these contingencies based on the following: (i) for lawsuits individually reviewed, on the opinion of internal and external legal counsel and the probability that financial resources will be required to settle the claim, where settlement amounts may be estimated with sufficient certainty and (ii) for lawsuits collectively evaluated, by using statistical references by group of lawsuits, type of legal body (small claims court or regular court) and claimant. We classify as “probable,” “possible” or “remote” the risk that such contingencies arising from these proceedings will materialize into actual losses for us. We generally recognize provisions for these contingencies when we classify the loss related to these claims as probable. While we do not recognize provisions for contingencies whose risk we consider possible or remote, we disclose contingencies whose risk we consider possible. We measure contingency amounts by using models and criteria that, in spite of the uncertainty of these contingencies’ terms and amounts, we feel accurately estimate their values. Although we believe that these contingencies are adequately reflected in our annual consolidated financial statements, their outcomes may result in obligations to pay amounts higher than the aggregate values of our contingency provisions, given the inherent difficulties in estimating the exact amounts involved in the claims made against us.

 

10.6. With respect to the internal controls adopted to ensure the preparation of reliable financial statements, Directors should comment on:

 

a) the efficiency level of such controls, indicating any imperfections and measures adopted to correct them

 

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

 

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

 

Due to their inherent limits, the internal controls related to the financial statements may not avoid or detect errors. Therefore, even the systems determined to be effective may only provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. Likewise, projections of any evaluation on their effectiveness for future periods may be subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or deterioration may occur in the level of conformity with practices or procedures.

 

The management evaluated the effectiveness of the internal controls related to the company’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2012 in accordance with the criteria defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control (“COSO”) – Integrated Framework. The management’s evaluation includes the documentation, assessment and results of the testing of the design and effectiveness of the internal controls related to the financial statements. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the internal controls related to the consolidated financial statements are effective with respect to December 31, 2012.

 

b) deficiencies in and recommendations on the internal controls that are present in the independent auditor’s report

 

In the independent auditor’s report, we did not note deficiencies in or recommendations on internal controls that pose the risk of failure or material effect on the financial statements.

 

175

 

However, we shall report how Itaú Unibanco performs the monitoring of auditors’ notes and action plans. The deficiencies and recommendations of (internal and external) audits are monitored on a monthly basis by the executive areas, through multidisciplinary committees with the attendance of Internal Audit and Internal Controls representatives.

 

Additionally, the results of monitoring are periodically reported to the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee of the institution.

b) provided that it has already been disclosed, indicate the acquisition of plant, equipment, patents or other assets that are expected to have a material impact on the Issuer’s production capacity

 

In September 2012, we announced investment of R$ 10,413 million in technology, innovation and services to be made in the period from 2012 to 2015, of which it is expected that:

 

·R$ 2,749 million will be allocated to data processing systems;

This new Technological Center will be located in the city of Mogi Mirim.

 

The decision on the new site where the data processing and storage equipment will be concentrated took into consideration location of the plot of land and infrastructure concerns, such as the extent of the available area, the supply capacity for the demand of power, water and telecommunications, considering that the Technological Center will operate 24 hours a day.

 

We are always considering options to expand our operations in the financial market. Should new opportunities arise, even at attractive prices, they will be carefully analyzed considering the risks involved and the perspectives of the country involved.

10.11. Comment on other factors that have significantly affected operating performance and that were not identified or commented on in the other items of this section

 

We present below the differences between our financial statements in BRGAAP1 and in International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS. We emphasize that the main difference in the result is due to the portion of tax credit related to the Social Contribution on Net Income at the rate of 15% (IAS 12), which had already been fully incorporated in the opening balance sheet of 01/01/2010 under IFRS. In terms of equity, the main difference relates to the allowance for loan losses, that uses the concept of incurred loss in IFRS and of expected loss in BRGAAP.

 

The complete consolidated financial statements under IFRS for 2012 are available on our website: www.itau-unibanco.com/ir.

Differences between IFRS and BRGAAP Financial Statements

 

(a) On IFRS (IAS 39), loan losses allowances must be made when there is objective evidence that loan operations have suffered a reduction in its value (Incurred Loss). On BRGAAP, the expected loss model is used 8.

 

(b) Recognition in the consolidated financial statements on BRGAAP of the tax credit related to the Social Contribution on Net Income at the rate of 15% (IAS 12), which had already been fully incorporated in the opening balance sheet of 01/01/2010 under IFRS. The difference between the IFRS and BRGAAP financial statements was adjusted in the 4Q12. From the 1Q13, this difference will no longer exist.

 

(c) On IFRS (IAS 39 and 32), stocks and quotas classified as permanents investments were measured at fair value and its gains and losses were recorded directly on Equity, with no impact on the income statement of the period.

 

(d) On IFRS, the effect of accounting at fair value the acquisition of the participation in Porto Seguro Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. was recognized.

 

(e) On the IFRS (IAS 21), exchange rate variations of subsidiaries and non consolidated companies abroad, where the functional currency (defined as the currency of the primary economic environment on which each entity operates) differs from the Real, are recorded directly on Equity with no impact on the income statement of the period.

 

(f) On the IFRS (IAS 39), the assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are recognized according to the methodology of effective interest rate, which appropriates the revenues and costs directly attributed to the acquisition, issue or disposal for the period of operation. On BRGAAP, the recognition of expenses and revenues from fees occurs at the time of contracting these operations.

9 The difference between BRGAAP and IFRS results from the fact that, in IFRS, the Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) is not compensated by the tax credits generated by the increase in the CSLL rate from 9% to 15%. The difference between the IFRS and BRGAAP financial statements was adjusted in the 4Q12. From the 1Q13, this difference will no longer exist.

10 This amount is mainly composed of the result from the sale of Itaú Unibanco interest in Serasa to Experian, as announced to the market on October 23, 2012.

13. MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

 

13.1. Describe the policy or practice for the compensation of the Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Officers and Board of Non-Statutory Officers, Fiscal Council, Statutory Committees and Audit, Risk, Financial and Compensation Committees, addressing the following aspects:

 

a) The objectives of the compensation policy or practice:

 

The objective of the Issuer’s compensation policy is to attract, compensate, retain and stimulate management in the conduction of its business, enabling the Issuer to achieve sustainable results.

 

The Issuer believes that its compensation policy strengthens and creates better conditions for its development, as well as for the development of its management members and employees, always in line with the stockholders’ interests.

 

At the time when the Issuer’s compensation policy is established, it takes into account values aligned with those adopted by the market, the Issuer’s strategy and the effective risk management over time are considered, so as not to encourage behavior that increases risk exposure above the levels considered prudent. The Issuer favors variable compensation, which corresponds to a significant portion of the amounts paid to the management members.

 

Resolution No. 3,921/2010 of the National Monetary Council (“Resolution on Compensation”) has determined new rules relating to the compensation of the numbers of management members of financial institutions.

 

The variable compensation should be consistent with the institution’s risk management policies, of which at least fifty percent (50%) of the compensation must be paid through shares or stock-based instruments and, at least, forty percent (40%) should be deferred for payment within at least three years, and this deferred portion may be subject to clawbacks, based on the results of the institution or the business area during the period of deferral. These new rules have been in force since January 1, 2012 and relate to the management compensation for the 2012 base year.

 

In order to comply with the Resolution on Compensation, on September 6, 2011 the Issuer was authorized by the CVM to transfer, on a private basis, its own treasury shares to its executives and the executives of its controlled companies. For the latter, the shares should be transferred directly and/or through the controlled companies, with the proposal being conditional upon approval by the Issuer’s General Meeting.

 

Accordingly, the use of the Issuer’s preferred shares (ITUB4) to compensate the executives of the Issuer and of the companies controlled by it was authorized at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 20, 2012.

 

The governance structure of compensation requires clear and transparent processes. Accordingly, in order to achieve the purposes mentioned above and aiming at aligning the best governance practices introduced in this country and abroad, as well as to ensure the balance of the institution’s risk management practices, the Issuer has a Compensation Committee, subordinated to the Board of Directors, to discuss the compensation of the major executives of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate. The committee’s main duties are: a) to formulate the compensation policy, by proposing to the Board of Directors the various forms of fixed and variable compensation, in addition to benefits and special recruitment and termination programs; b) to discuss, analyze and supervise the implementation and operation of current compensation models for Itaú Unibanco S.A. and Banco Itaú BBA S.A. (including the treasury area), by discussing the general principles of the compensation policy for employees and providing recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding any adjustments or improvements; c) to propose, to the Board of Directors, the overall compensation amount to management members to be submitted to the General meeting; d. to prepare, on an annual basis, the “Compensation Committee Report”. The inclusion of the provisions related to the Compensation Committee in the Bylaws, under the terms of the Resolution on Compensation, was approved by the stockholders at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 20, 2012.

 

In addition to the Compensation Committee, the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee is established, which also reports to the Board of Directors and whose main responsibility is to monitor the Issuer’s governance, especially regarding topics relating to the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Appointments and Governance Committee is responsible for the process for assessing the performance of the Board of Directors, and it should (i) recommend processes for assessment of the Board of the Directors, the Members and Chairman of the Board, Committees and Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) provide methodological and procedural support to the assessment of the Board of Directors, the Members and Chairman of the Board, Committees and Chief Executive Officer.

 

256

 

It is also incumbent upon this Committee to propose the division, among the members of the Board of Directors, of the amounts approved by the Annual General Meeting.

 

Regarding the benefit policy, noteworthy are the benefits focused on health (health and dental care plan) and private pension plan.

 

Furthermore, the Issuer offers a Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) to its management members, enabling the alignment of the management members’ interests to those of the Issuer’s stockholders, as they share the same risks and gains provided by the stock appreciation. It is worth mentioning that, in accordance with the case law in Brazil, the Issuer believes that its stock option plan does not have a compensatory nature. Accordingly, in view of the information structure required under the scope of this item 13 of the Reference Form, and for information purposes only, provisions of the plan will be described throughout this item.

 

b) Compensation composition, indicating:

 

i - Description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each one of them

 

Board of Directors

 

The annual compensation of the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors will be composed of (i) monthly fixed fees, (ii) annual fixed fees, which will be paid through shares, and (iii) the benefit plan. The maximum compensation amounts will be established at the Annual General Meeting.

 

The Issuer favors stock-based compensation that, in addition to attracting, motivating and integrating the management members into the institution’s development process in the medium and long terms, this compensation offers management members the opportunity to benefit from the appreciation that their work and dedication has brought to the capital stock of the Issuer.

 

In the event that a member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors is also part of the Board of Officers of the Issuer or of its controlled companies, his/her compensation will be subject to the policy applicable to the Board of Officers.

 

Additionally, in exceptional and fully justified cases, the members of the Board of Directors may be paid a variable compensation as resolved by the Compensation Committee. This variable compensation will be subject to the guidelines contained in the Resolution on Compensation.

 

Board of Officers

 

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Officers is composed of (i) monthly fixed fees, (ii) variable compensation (special fees and profit sharing, paid on an annual basis, 50% of which will be paid in shares), and (iii) the benefit plan. The maximum compensation amounts are defined at the annual general meeting, based on the limits imposed by Article 152 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

In 2012, the Issuer privileged variable compensation, which corresponded to the largest portion of total compensation paid to the members of the Board of Officers. In view of the Resolution on Compensation, fifty percent (50%) of the variable compensation was paid in shares, on a deferred basis.

 

In addition to compensation, the members of the Board of Officers are entitled to participate in the stock option plan. This plan aligns the management members’ interests with those of the Issuer’s stockholders, as they share the same risks and gains provided by their stock appreciation.

 

Finally, regarding particularly those members of the Board of Officers who are involved in internal controland risk areas, their compensation is calculated to attract qualified and experienced professionals and determined irrespectively of the performance of each business area, so as not to give rise to any conflict of interest. Even though they are not impacted by the results from the business areas, they are subject to any impact arising from the Issuer’s results.

 

257

 

Fiscal Council

 

The total annual compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council is established at the Annual General Meeting, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to legislation, this compensation cannot be lower, for each acting member, than ten percent (10%) of the fixed compensation assigned to each officer (i.e. not including benefits, representation allowances and profit sharing assigned to officers). Thus, the members of the Fiscal Council are paid only a monthly fixed compensation amount and are not eligible for the benefit policy.

 

Audit Committee

 

The compensation of the members of the Audit Committee of the Issuer is composed of (i) monthly fixed fees, and (ii) a benefit plan.

 

For those members of the Audit Committee who are also part of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, the compensation policy of the Board of Directors is applied.

 

Committees

 

The members of the Issuer’s other statutory or non-statutory committees are compensated according to their duties in the executive bodies or areas in which they work, and they do not receive a specific compensation for belonging to these committees.

 

ii - The proportion of each element in the total compensation

 

In 2012, for the Issuer’s Board of Directors, the monthly fixed fees, annual fixed fees and benefits correspondedto 56%, 39% and 5%, respectively, of the total amount received by the members of the Board of Directors.

 

For the Issuer’s Board of Officers, the monthly fixed compensation, variable compensation and benefits corresponded to 12%, 86%and 2%, respectively, of the total amount received by the officers in 2012.

 

Regarding the Fiscal Council, the fixed compensation of its members corresponds to one hundred per cent (100%) of total compensation.

 

In 2012, for the Issuer’s Audit Committee, the monthly fixed compensation and benefits correspondedto 96%and 4% of total compensation, respectively.

 

It should be noted that (i) the aforementioned proportions do not include possible charges supported by the Issuer arising from the amounts paid and (ii) the composition of the amounts is variable according to the difference of behavior of each component of compensation: on the one hand, the stability of the fixed compensation and benefits, andon the other hand, the instability of the variable compensation. The variable compensation is influenced by the individual performance, the results of the business area and of the Issuer.

 

iii - Calculation and adjustment methodology for each of the compensation elements

 

Monthly fixed fees

 

Monthly fixed fees are agreed with management and are based on internal equality, providing mobility of management members in the Issuer’s businesses.

 

Variable compensation (special fees and annual profit sharing)

 

Variable compensation takes into consideration the influence of three factors on the variable compensation base amount: (a) the Issuer’s results, (b) the results of the business area, and (c) the individual management member’s performance.

 

Benefit plan

 

The benefit plan is compatible with market practices, taking into consideration that the main benefits include health care and private pension plans.

 

258

 

iv. Reasons that justify the composition of compensation

 

The Issuer favors variable compensation, which corresponds to the most significant portion of the amounts paid to management members. This practice is intended to alignthe risk management in the short, medium and long terms, in addition to providing benefits to management in the same proportion as their performance benefits the Issuer and its stockholders.

 

Beginning in 2012, taking into consideration the Resolution on Compensation, fifty percent (50%) of variable compensation waspaid in shares, on a deferred basis.

 

c) The main performance indicators that are taken into consideration in determining each compensation element:

 

The variable compensation (special fees and profit sharing) represents a significant portion of the amounts paid to management members and is significantly influenced by performance indicators. The first performance indicator to be taken into consideration when setting the amount of this portion of the compensation is the Issuer’s income. Subsequentlythe performance indicator taken into consideration is the performance of the business area. Finally, for officers, individual performance is assessed by taking into consideration financial, process, client satisfaction and people management indicators, in addition to indicators relating to goals in relation to the other areas of the Issuer.

 

Monthly fixed fees and the benefit plan represent the smallest portion of the total amount received by management members and are not affected by performance indicators.

 

d) How the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators:

 

As mentioned above, a significant portion of the total amount paid to management members is in the form of variable compensation, which is considerably influenced by performance indicators. Therefore, the better the indicators, the higher the compensation and vice versa.

 

e) How the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the Issuer’s short-, medium- and long-term interests:

 

As mentioned in item “c” above, the Issuer favors variable compensation, which represents a significant portion of the total amount received by management members. This practice is aimed at aligning the risk management in the short, medium and long terms, in addition to providing benefits to management in the same proportion as their performance benefits the Issuer and its stockholders.

 

Given that the compensation of management is ultimately affected by the results of the Issuer, including the risks assumed by the latter, we believe that the compensation policy is effective in aligning management’s interests with those of the Issuer.

 

f) The existence of compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries, controlled companies or parent companies:

 

The compensation of many members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Officers is supported by controlled companies (see sub item 13.15), taking into consideration that the amounts indicated in sub-item 13.2 already include the total compensation paid by the Issuer and its subsidiaries.

 

g) The existence of any compensation or benefit related to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, this as the disposal of the Issuer’s shareholding control:

 

At present, there is no compensation or benefit – neither is it provided for in the Issuer’s compensation policy - related to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, this as the disposal of the Issuer’s stockholding control.

3.In relation to the stock-based compensation provided for 2013, see the clarifications in item 13.2.

 

13.4. With respect to the stock-based compensation plan for the Board of Directors and Board of Statutory Officers in effect in the last year and determined for the current year, please describe:

 

a) The general terms and conditions

 

The Issuer has a long-term incentive plan, based on a Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) that will be fully described in this item 13.4.

 

Besides, only for informative purposes, in order to adapt the Issuer’s management compensation structure to comply with the Resolution on Compensation, as described in item 13.1, the Issuer established a management compensation policy that defines the payment of part of the variable compensation in shares, as briefly described below.

 

Management Members’ Compensation Policy

 

As mentioned in item 13.1, the Resolution on Compensation establishes that at least fifty percent (50%) of the variable compensation of the management of financial institutions must be paid through shares or share-based instruments, and at the least forty per cent (40%) should be deferred for payment in at least three (3) years, and this deferred portion may be subject to clawbacks, based on the result of the institution or the business area during the period of deferral. These new rules have been in force since January 1, 2012 and are applicable to management compensation for the base year 2012.

 

The possibility of stock-based compensation was approved at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 20, 2012, and it shall be incumbent upon the Compensation Committee to structure a detailed policy regarding management compensation.

 

For further details of the management compensation policy, see item 13.1.

 

Stock Option Plan

 

Firstly, it is important to emphasize one more time that, in accordance with the case law existing in Brazil, the Issuer understands that its stock option plan (“Plan”) is not compensatory in nature. Without prejudice and for simple information purposes, the provisions of the Issuer’s stock option plan are included in item 13.4.

 

The Issuer was one of the first Brazilian companies to grant stock options to its executives, a practice that has been adopted since 1995. The current Plan covers the whole Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate and it is frequently revised to be adjusted for legal innovations and the Issuer's reality.

 

264

 

In accordance with the Plan’s provisions, the Issuer may grant stock options to its officers and members of Board of Directors, and to the management members of the controlled companies (“Management Members”) or to eligible employees and employees of controlled companies (“Employees”) (“Management members” and “Employees”, collectively, “Beneficiaries”). The rules and operational procedures of the Plan are established by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Issuer (“Personnel Committee”).

 

It should be noted that the Itaú and Unibanco Conglomerates had programs for stock-based compensation before the merger. The Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 24, 2009 approved the assumption by the Issuer of rights and obligations existing under the Unibanco Plan. In relation to the options granted under Unibanco´s Plan, the provisions set out therein are applicable.

 

Moreover, considering that Redecard S.A. (“Redecard”) went private in December 2012, and that it is impossible to deliver Redecard’s shares listed on BM&FBOVESPA in order to fulfill Redecard’s Stock Option Plan (“Redecard Plan”) obligations to its beneficiaries, in order to ensure all management members are eligible for long-term incentive programs under the same conditions, the assumption of rights and obligations under Redecard´s Plan will be submitted to approvalat the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting to be held on April 19, 2013, by the Issuer, which will be responsible for this Plan. Regarding the options granted by Redecard Plan, the provisions contained therein will apply.

 

Given that it is no longer possible to provide grants under the Unibanco and Redecard Plans, all of the information relating to item 13.4 refers only to the provisions of the current Plan.

 

The Plan is available on the website of CVM and the Issuer (www.itau-unibanco.com/ir).

 

b)The main objectives of the plan

 

The Plan has the primary purpose of aligning the interests of the management members with those of the Issuer's stockholders, as they share the same risks and earnings relating to the appreciation of its stocks.

 

c)How the plan contributes to these objectives

 

The Beneficiaries receive granting of stock options to feel stimulated to contribute to the Issuer's stock good performance, since they actively participate in the results of this appreciation. Therefore, the institution fulfills the purpose of item “b” thereof, linking the management members and employees to the organization's long-term strategies. The Beneficiaries, in turn, participate in the appreciation of the Issuer’s capital stock.

 

d)How the plan is inserted in the Issuer’s compensation policy

 

The Plan is in compliance with the principles searched for by the Issuer, taking into consideration that (i) the Beneficiaries receive stock options which link them to the Issuer’s long-term projects and results, (ii) this is an instrument to incentivize individual development and commitment, and (iii) this allows the retention of the Beneficiaries (as the benefit from the exercise of the options is received in the long term).

 

e)How the plan is aligned with the short-, medium- and long-term interests of management members and the Issuer

 

The Plan is aligned with the interests of the Issuer and its Beneficiaries, since it enables the Beneficiaries to become stockholders of the Issuer, under the terms and conditions established in the Plan, encouraging them to act from the perspective of being the “owners” of the business, therefore aligning their interests with those of the stockholders’. Additionally, the Plan encourages the retention of the Company’s top executives and employees.

 

f)Maximum number of shares covered

 

The sum of shares to be used for compensation purposes, pursuant to the Resolution on Compensation, and the options to be granted are subject to limits established by the Plan (see sub item “g” of this item).

g) Maximum number of options to be granted

 

The Personnel Committee shall be responsible for establishing the total number of options to be granted in relation to each year, and it may segment the total lot in series and define the specific characteristics of each series.

 

However, the sum of the shares to be used for compensation, pursuant to the Resolution on Compensation, and the options to be granted in any given year shall not exceed the limit of 0.5% of the total shares of the Issuer that the majority and minority stockholders hold at the year-end balance sheet date. If in a certain year the number of shares delivered and options granted is below the limit of 0.5% of total shares, the difference may be added when options are granted in any of the seven subsequent years.

 

h)conditions for the purchase of shares

 

The shares are purchased under the Plan, within the exercise period, provided that the vesting period has elapsed (see sub-item “j” below), upon payment of the strike price (see sub-item “i” below). In addition, options can be cancelled in certain situations, this as the termination of the relationship (statutory or employment) between the Beneficiary and the Issuer and its controlled companies, before the vesting period (see sub-item “n” below).

 

i)criteria for fixing the purchase or exercise price

 

The strike price will be set by the Personnel Committee when the option is granted and it may be based on one of the following parameters:

 

In the case of simple options: to set the strike price of options, the Committee shall consider the average price of the preferred shares of the Issuer during the trading sessions of BM&FBOVESPA for the last three months of the year prior to the grant date, and a positive or negative adjustment of up to 20% is permitted. The prices established shall be adjusted up to the last day of the month prior to the option exercise at the IGP-M, or in its absence, at the index stipulated by the Personnel Committee, and they shall be paid in a term equal to that in effect for the settlement of the transactions on BM&FBOVESPA.

 

In the case of partner options: for those Beneficiaries who, at the Committee’s discretion and upon the use of performance and leadership assessment tools, were deemed to have shown outstanding performance and potential, the Committee may offer options for which the strike price is paid through the performance of a positive covenant. This obliges the beneficiary to invest some or all of the net profit sharing received in relation to prior year in the Issuer’s shares, and to keep the ownership of these shares unchanged and without any type of liens from the option grant date until the option exercise date.

 

The shares purchased by the Beneficiaries to comply with positive covenants related to the partners’ options may either be acquired from the Issuer’s Treasury or another mechanism may be adopted to provide effects equivalent to the purchase of shares and the counter-entry in options, as resolved by the Personnel Committee. In the event that the purchase is carried out, it may be effected through the delivery of the shares as ADRs, representing one preferred share of the Issuer traded on the NYSE. For the purpose of any delivery of shares, the Personnel Committee shall establish the purchase price, which should be equal to the average quotation of the Issuer’s shares on BM&FBOVESPA in the thirty days prior to the establishment of this price.

 

j)criteria for defining the exercise period

 

The options can only be exercised after the vesting period and outside of the black-out periods established by the Personnel Committee. The vesting period of each series shall be defined by the Committee at the time of issue, and may vary between one year and seven years, counted from the issue date.

 

k)type of option settlement

 

There are two types of option settlement for the strike price:

 

(i)In the case of simple options: at the time when an option is exercised, the Beneficiary must pay to the Issuer the strike price, in cash, subject to the rules and conditions established by the Personnel Committee.

 

266

 

(ii)In the case of partner options: confirmation of the performance of positive covenants mentioned in sub-item “e” of this item.

 

l)restriction on the transfer of shares

 

The availability of the shares subscribed by the Beneficiaries upon the exercise of the option may be subject to additional restrictions, as may be resolved by the Personal Committee. Thus the percentage of shares that shall remain unavailable, as well as the period of this unavailability, may be defined by the Committee in view of the program applicable to each Beneficiary.

 

m)           criteria and events that, when verified, will cause the suspension, amendment or termination of the plan

 

The Personnel Committee may suspend the exercise of the options under justifiable circumstances, such as the organization of subscription works, significant market fluctuations or legal regulatory restrictions. In addition, the plan may only be amended or terminated following a proposal from the Personnel Committee to the Board of Directors and after approval at the General Meeting.

 

n)            effects of the management member’s leave from the Issuer’s bodies on their rights provided for in the stock-based compensation plan

 

As a general rule, the options of the management members of the Issuer and/or of the companies controlled by it and who resign or are dismissed from the position shall have their options automatically terminated. However, this automatic termination shall not occur in the case that the Employee’s departure is concurrent with their election to a Management Member position at the Issuer or one of its controlled companies. If the management member now occupies another statutory position at the Issuer or in its controlled companies, the option will not be automatically effective.

 

In the case of the member’s death, the vesting period is terminated and her/his successors may exercise them until the end of the remaining effective period of the effective member’s options.

 

In addition to the previously mentioned cases, the Personnel Committee may, in exceptional circumstances and having complied with the criteria established in the applicable internal regulation, choose not to terminate these options.

13.9. Give a brief description of the information necessary for understanding the data disclosed in items 13.6 to 13.8, this as an explanation of the pricing model for share and option value, indicating, at least:

 

a) The pricing model

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding adopts the Binomial model for simple options and the Black-Scholes model for partner options:

 

·Binomial pricing model: assumes that there are two possible paths for the performance of asset prices –upward or downward. A tree with price paths is built in order to determine the share value on a future date, based on the defined volatility and time interval between the tree steps from pricing to maturity. The pricing process of this model is carried out adopting the “Backward Induction method”, from the knots of the maturity to the starting point.

  

·Black & Scholes pricing model: assumes that the pricing of the underlying asset follows a continuous behavior of the Geometric Brownian Movement, with a constant interest rate and volatility through to the maturity of the transaction. That is, the probabilistic distribution of prices of an underlying asset in a future date is log-normal, and therefore, the probabilistic distribution of returns calculated on a continuous basis and composed between two dates is normal.

 

b) data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average price of shares, exercise price, expected volatility, term of the option, dividends expected and risk-free interest rate

 

The Binomial pricing model used in the simple options plan takes into account, for pricing purposes, the price assumptions relating to the underlying assets, strike price, volatility, dividend return rate, risk-free rate, vesting period and term of the option.

 

The Black & Scholes pricing model used in the partner options considers the price assumptions regarding the underlying assets, dividend return rate, vesting period and term of the option.

 

The assumptions used are described as follows:

 

·Price of the underlying asset: the share price of the Issuer´s preferred shares (ITUB4) used for the calculation is the closing price at BM&FBOVESPA on the calculation base date;

 

·Exercise price: as the strike price of the option, the strike price previously defined on the option issue is adopted, adjusted by the IGP-M or IPCA variation, according to the series;

 

·Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the last 84 historical monthly returns of closing prices of the ITUB4 (Itaú Unibanco Holding preferred share), released by BM&FBOVESPA, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;

 

·Dividend rate: is the average annual return rate in the last three (3) years of Paid Dividends, plus the Interest on Capital of the ITUB4 share;

 

·Risk-Free Interest Rate: the applied risk-free rate is the IGP-M or IPCA coupon rate, according to the series, at the expiration date of the option plan;

* The fair value of partner options is measured based on the fair value of Itaú Unibanco Holding’s shares at the grant date.

  

c) Method used and assumptions made to absorb the expected early exercise effects

 

The stock option plan of the Issuer provides for a vesting period for each granted series, from one to seven years, from the time when the option is issued up to the end of the vesting period, which is a period when the exercise of options is not allowed. The vesting period is set at the time when the series of options is issued. From the end of the vesting period, the option can be exercised at any time until the end of the agreement. The option pricing using the Binomial tree takes into consideration the vesting period for the exercise of options.

 

d) Method to determine expected volatility

 

Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the history of the last 84 monthly returns of the closing prices of the ITUB4 share, adjusted by the IGP-M variation, according to the series.

 

e) If any other characteristic of the options was included in its fair value measurement

 

The historical series is adjusted for splits, bonuses and reverse splits.

Regarding the labor contingencies filed by outsourced service providers, the main demands were related to subsidiary liability of a company belonging to Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate that uses the outsourced services.


14.2. Comment on any relevant changes having occurred with respect to the figures disclosed in item 14.1 above.

 

None.


14.3. Describe the Issuer’s employee compensation policies, explaining:

 

a) Salary and variable compensation policy

 

Regarding their policy on fixed and variable compensation, the Issuer and its controlled companies have adopted market parameters and a compensation strategy according to the business area in which each employee works. This alignment is measured periodically through the commissioning of salary surveys from specialized consultancies, participation in surveys conducted by other banks, as well as participation in specialized forums on this subject.

 

The fixed compensation seeks to acknowledge the complexity and maturity of the employee in relation to their scope of work/duties. Employees have their fixed compensation changed according to the policy on promotion and merit, which takes into consideration the seniority of the employee and their performance when carrying out their duties.

 

The variable compensation, in turn, acknowledges the level of dedication, the results achieved and their short, medium and long-term sustainability.

 

In addition, employees have wage adjustments and guaranteed profit sharing, established in Collective Bargaining Agreements, signed between the unions of each category of employee at the respective base date.

 

b) Benefit policy

 

The Issuer and its controlled companies provide several benefits established in the Collective Bargaining Agreements with the unions of the many categories of employees, the conditions of which are defined in these documents (allowances for meals, nursery/nanny care for children, transportation, etc.). There are also additional and differentiated benefits, such as: (i) medical and dental care plan, (ii) private pension plan, (iii) group life insurance, (iv) psychosocial services, and (v) differentiated treatment in the use of banking products and services.

 

280

 

Other benefits are given to the employees of the Issuer and its controlled companies through entities that are part of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate, such as Fundação Itaú Unibanco Clube and Instituto Assistencial Pedro di Perna.

 

c) Characteristics of share-based payments to non-management employees, identifying:

 

It is important to highlight the fact that, based on the case law in place in Brazil, the Issuer understands that its stock option plan is not compensatory in nature. Without restriction to and for merely illustrative purposes, the provisions on the Issuer’s Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) were included in subitem 13.4, as well as in this item 14.3.c.

 

I - Groups of beneficiaries

 

In extraordinary cases, options granted under the Issuer’s Stock Option Plan described in subitem 13.4 may be allocated to eligible employees of the Issuer or its controlled companies, as described in item 13.4 “a”.

 

II - Exercise conditions

 

The non-management employees must be highly qualified or with great potential or performance of the Issuer and/or controlled companies.

 

III - Exercise prices

 

See sub-item “i” of item 13.4.

 

IV - Exercise terms

 

See sub-item “j” of item 13.4.

 

V - Number of shares committed by the plan

 

See sub-item “f” of item 13.4.


14.4. Describe the relations between the Issuer and unions

 

The relationship of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate with the unions that represent its employees is developed in a structured and transparent way, which guarantees the unions freedom of movement, protects the right to belong to a union, and gives priority to collective bargaining in matters of common interest.

 

Itaú Unibanco guarantees that union member employees shall not suffer discrimination on the grounds of their union affiliation or due to their taking part in union activities outside of working hours or in this period, provided that this is previously authorized by the employer.

 

Itaú Unibanco provides the unions with the option to run union affiliation campaigns in all of its units, as well as respecting and recognizing the prerogatives of employees elected to management positions in the unions that represent them by treating them similarly, irrespective of their political affiliation or membership of any union federation.

 

All of Itaú Unibanco’s employees are supported by Collective Bargaining Agreements that ensure additional rights supplementary to those provided for in the Brazilian labor legislation in force, and these are applied by the company as a minimum level of rights.

 

The respect for these principles reinforces the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate’s commitment to always search for a balance in the relationship and find solutions to conflicts involving the interests of their employees and the unions representing them, without losing focus on the bottom line of the business and the value added to the shareholders.

 

281

 

15.1 - Identify the controlling shareholders or group of shareholders

 

15.2 – Identify the shareholders or groups of shareholders that act together or that represent the same interest, with an ownership interest equal to or higher than 5% in the same class or type of shares

Redecard’s Public Tender Offer

 

On February 7, 2012, Itaú Unibanco Holding announced its intention to acquire, directly or through its affiliates, all of the outstanding shares of Redecard S.A. (“Redecard”), through a public tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) aimed at cancelling Redecard’s authorization as a publicly-held company registered with the CVM. The Tender Offer targeted the acquisition of common shares of Redecard corresponding to approximately 50% of its share capital. On April 12, 2012, Itaú Unibanco Holding confirmed that the price to be paid in cash would be R$35.00 per share (the “Tender Offer Price”). The Tender Offer was successfully completed on September 24, 2012.

 

As a result of the auction, Itaú Unibanco Holding acquired, through its affiliate Banestado Participações, Administração e Serviços Ltda. (“Banestado”), 298,989,137 common shares of Redecard, representing 44.4% of Redecard’s capital stock, and then holding a total of 94.4% of Redecard’s capital stock. On October 18, 2012, Redecard’s registration as a publicly held company was cancelled. In December 2012, the issuer held, through its affiliates, 100.0% of Redecard’s shares. The shares were purchased at the Tender Offer Price for a total amount of R$11,752 million (including the auction). The difference between the amount paid and the amount corresponding to the minority interest was recognized directly in Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity, under Revenue Reserves, in the amount of R$11,151 million restated up to December 31, 2012, which net of taxes totaled R$7,360 million.

ITEM 20 - SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

 

20.1. Indicate whether the issuer has adopted a trading policy for the securities issued by it through direct or indirect controlling shareholders, officers, members of the board of directors, the fiscal council or of anybody created by a statutory provision, that performs technical or advisory functions, stating:

 

The issuer is bound by the rules set out by CVM Instruction No. 358/02, as amended, regarding the trading of its securities. In addition, although it has never been mandatory, since 2002 we have decided to adopt a policy in this regard, which has resulted in rules that are even stricter than those required by the governing regulatory authoritie. The issuer also relies on an internal compliance team whose activities include the monitoring of transactions by those that adhere to our policy on our securities.

 

Moreover, the issuer has a Disclosure and Trading Committee (originating from the unification in 2006 of our Disclosure Committee and Trading Committee, both created in 2002), whose main duty is to manage our policies on disclosure and trading.

 

Besides the regulation of the policy and internal structure, some of the areas of the issuer, because they have access to client information, have policies that are even more specific and strict in order to guarantee that employees do not use insider information to obtain personal advantage (insider trading).

 

a) date of approval

 

The current Securities Trading Policy was approved in 2002, taking into consideration that its provisions are constantly reviewed to ensure that they are in line with the best corporate governance practice. The latest change was made on July 23, 2012.

 

b) insiders

 

Insiders are: (i) direct or indirect controlling shareholders, officers, members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council or any body created by a statutory provision, that performs technical or advisory functions with technical and consulting functions, (ii) members of the statutory bodies of companies in which the issuer is the only controlling shareholder, (iii) management members that resign from the issuer’s management or the management of companies in which the issuer is the only controlling shareholder, over a term of six months counted from the resignation date, (iv) any person who, in view of their job, duty or position in the issuer or in its controlled, subsidiary or affiliated companies, is aware of material information, (v) the spouse or partner and any other dependant included in the annual income tax return of persons impeded from trading in items "i". "ii" and "iii" above. (vi) those who have a business, professional or trust relationship with the issuer such as independent auditors, securities analysts, consultants and institutions that are part of the distribution system. In addition, persons that are equivalent to insiders are: (a) the managers of portfolio and investment funds, companies or other institutions or entities in which the insiders are the only quotaholders or shareholders, or of which they may influence the trading decisions, (b) any company that is directly or indirectly controlled by insiders, and (c) any person who has had access to information on an material act or fact through any insider. We have compliance teams which, together with the officers of each area, identify persons who shall be bound by the policy in view of its area or information to which they have access, and these persons are then recorded in a specific system, which currently has approximately seven thousand and three hundred people listed (among them statutorily compliant persons, their relatives, and employees with access to insider information).

 

c) main characteristics

 

The Trading Policy is managed by a Disclosure and Trading Committee, whose scope covers a range of internal actions aimed at improving information flow and ensuring the ethical conduct of management members and employees who are signatories to this policy, in order to: (i) guarantee the transparency, quality and safekeeping of the information provided to shareholders, investors, the press, government authorities and other capital markets entities, (ii) observe and apply the criteria established by the policies, so that our management members, shareholders, controlling shareholders and employees, as well as third parties who have a professional or trust relationship with the issuer follow the ethical and legal standards of the issuer or the values to which it adheres, (iii) evaluate the guidelines and procedures of our trading policy and those that shall be followed in the disclosure of material acts or facts, and the maintenance of confidentiality of information, as established by our disclosure policy, as well as analyzing in advance the content of press releases, (iv) monitor and regulate the adherence of management members and other employees of the Conglomerate to our policies, and (v) examine any breachs of our policies, announcing possible infringements to the Board of Directors and the Ethics Committee.

 

335

 

d) provision for black-out periods and description of the procedures adopted to inspect trading in such periods

 

Insiders, in addition to the restrictions set out in the CVM No. 358/02 Instruction, cannot:

 

1) Trade securities issued by any company of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate or connected to them, from the acknowledgement date to the disclosure date of a material act or fact to the market (except if within the dividend reinvestment program).

 

2) Trade the securities mentioned in item 1 above during black-out periods, which can be determined by the Investor Relations Officer regardless of any justification or existence of a material act or fact not yet disclosed.).

 

3) Sell securities of any company of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate before the end of a period of 180 days of their purchase (except if within the stock option plan, stock-based compensation program, dividend reinvestment program, the exercise of preemptive rights to subscription related to shares previously purchased or private negotiations between insiders).

 

4) Trade securities issued by publicly-held companies of the Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate through intermediaries other than Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. or Itaú USA Securities Inc., as applicable.

 

The control over these transactions, so that they do not breach the disclosure and trading policies of the issuer, shall be carried out by Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. or Itaú USA Securities Inc., as applicable, and are also monitored by the compliance teams.

 

20.2. Supply other information that the Issuer may deem relevant

 

In November 2004, the issuer, following a detailed national and international survey of best corporate governance practice, became, together with Itaúsa – Investimentos Itaú S.A., the first Brazilian company to voluntarily adopt operating rules for the trading of treasury shares. These rules were introduced to govern the trading of its own shares by the issuer on the stock exchanges where they are traded.

 

In the view of the issuer’s management, the adoption of these rules has brought numerous benefits, including the reduction of operational, financial and strategic risk, the creation of an in-house culture for these operations in the capital markets, a reduction in the possibility of market concentration or improper pricing, and the bolstering of the strategy for the repurchase of securities focused on the preservation of liquidity and value to shareholders. All this has led to greater transparency for this type of operation.

 

As good governance practice, we monthly report the movement of shares in the repurchase program. At present, we have a stock repurchase program in progress – on October 22, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 13,700,000 (thirteen million and seven hundred thousand) common shares and 86,300,000 (eighty six million and three hundred thousand) preferred shares, without the reduction of capital stock value, to be held in treasury, cancelled or replaced in the market. As a result of the launch of the above-mentioned repurchase program, on October 23, 2012, the Board of Directors disclosed a material fact by which the Board of Officers is empowered to establish the opportunity for the purchase of shares within these limits, so that these purchases are carried out at Stock Exchanges in the period between November 5, 2012 and November 4, 2013, at market value, using the funds available in the Capital Reserve and Revenue Reserve.

 

336

 

ITEM 21 - INFORMATION DISCLOSURE POLICY

 

21.1. Describe internal standards, regulations or procedures adopted by the issuer to ensure that the information to be publicly disclosed is gathered, processed and reported accurately and promptly

 

As mentioned in Item 20.1, the issuer has a Disclosure and Trading Committee, which manages the Disclosure and Trading Policies.

 

One of the responsibilities of this Committee is to ensure that information to be publicly disclosed is gathered, processed and reported accurately and promptly. For this purpose, its duty is to regulate the adherence of insiders to our Disclosure Policy, which has effective mechanisms for the collection of information, as well as severe sanctions in the case of non-compliance (see item 21.2 for more information on our disclosure policy).

 

Additionally, our Investor Relations Officer, Alfredo Egydio Setubal, is a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Managing Vice-President of the Issuer, and this enables him to have full access to the key decisions of the company. Iis duties include to: (i) disclose and report to the markets and competent authorities any material act or fact that has occurred related to the Issuer’s business, (ii) ensure the wide and immediate dissemination of the material act or fact, (iii) disclose the material act or fact simultaneously in all markets in which the securities of the Issuer are admitted for trading, (iv) provide additional clarification on the disclosure of a material act or fact to the competent authorities, upon their request, and (v) make enquiries with people who have access to material acts or facts in the event contemplated in the prior sub-item or if there is an atypical movement in the quotation, price or quantity of securities traded and issued by the Issuer or connected to them, with the purpose of checking if they are aware of information that should be disclosed to the market.

 

In accordance with our Disclosure Policy, a document disclosing material acts or facts shall be prepared by the Disclosure and Trading Committee, which may request the participation of the Offices involved in the transaction or business that gave rise to the material act or fact. The Disclosure and Trading Committee may also, subject to criteria of timescale and convenience, (i) approve the disclosure of preliminary information not yet audited, related to the quarterly, semi-annual or annual results of the issuer, or (ii) approve the advanced disclosure of the quarterly, semi-annual or annual results of the issuer, duly audited.

 

The body in charge of the relevant corporate matters shall disclose, under the supervision of the Investor Relations Officer, any material act or fact, on a priority and simultaneous basis: a) to the CVM, on its website, to the SEC, NYSE, through Form 6-K, to BM&FBOVESPA and, as the case may be, to other stock exchanges and entities of the organized over-the-counter markets, and b) to the market in general, by publication in newspapers of wide circulation, regularly used by the issuer, and in the Official Gazette of the State.

21.2. Describe the policy for the disclosure of a material act or fact adopted by the Issuer, indicating the procedures related to the maintenance of the confidentiality of undisclosed material information

 

Insiders should maintain secrecy as regards the information related to the material act or fact until it is disclosed to the market, as well as care for the maintenance of the secrecy.

 

For the purposes of our Disclosure Policy, insiders are: (i) the direct or indirect controlling shareholders, officers, members of the Board of Directors, of the Fiscal Council or of anybody created by a statutory provision, that performs technical or advisory functions, (ii) the same persons in the controlling company, subsidiaries under the effective management of the issuer, and affiliated companies which are aware of information related to material acts or facts, (iii) the employees of the Issuer, or of its controlling company, subsidiaries under effective management of the issuer, and affiliated companies which, in view of their job, duty or position, are aware of information related to material facts or acts, and (iv) any other person who, under any circumstance, may be aware of the material information, such as consultants, independent auditors, ratings agency analysts and advisors.

 

In the event that an insider resigns from the issuer, or no longer takes part in the business or projects to which the relevant information is related, she/he will continue to meet the duty of secrecy until this information is disclosed to the competent authorities and to the market.

 

337

 

Any insider who discloses by mistake a material act or fact to any person who is not an insider before it is disclosed to the market shall immediately inform the Investor Relations Officer of this undue disclosure, so that they can take the appropriate measures.

 

The issuer has mechanisms and policies in place to assure control over information, such as restrictions on the use of (i) external emails (which means that every piece of information emailed must go through the internal emails of our employees, which are constantly monitored by a specific team), (ii) mobile phones in sensitive areas (such as those dealing with capital markets), and (iii) of pen drives, compact discs and other information storage devices.
