(“Itaú Unibanco” or “Company”) has a Stock Grant Plan (“Plan”) for the purpose of offering management members and employees of the Company, as well as of its direct or indirect controlled companies, the opportunity to become stockholders of the Company, achieving, as a result, a better alignment of their interests to those of its stockholders and the sharing of capital market risks, as well as enabling the Company and its controlled companies to attract and retain talents. 1.2. Management members and employees of the Company and its direct or indirect controlled companies (“Beneficiaries”) are eligible to join this Plan, at the Company’s discretion, subject to the specific target audiences of each stock grant program, in accordance with item 5 of the Plan. 2. MANAGEMENT OF THE PLAN 2.1. The Plan will be managed by the Compensation Committee (“Committee”), reporting directly to the Company’s Board of Directors. 2.2. The Committee shall have full powers to organize and manage the Plan, subject to the provisions of the Plan and any additional guidelines set by the Board of Directors. 2.3. The resolutions taken by the Committee shall bind the Company and Beneficiaries in relation to all matters related to the Plan. 3. SHARES USED 3.1. For purposes of the Plan, preferred shares issued by the Company (“Shares”) shall be used, and treasury shares may also be used, in accordance with the rules of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

The total number of Shares to be granted in each fiscal year under this Plan shall not exceed one-half percent (0.5%) of Itaú Unibanco’s total shares held by majority and minority stockholders on the balance sheet date of the same year. To calculate this limit, the options granted under the Company’s Stock Option Plan are added to the number of Shares. 4.2. In the event that, in a given year, the number of (a) Shares used for compensation under this Plan and (b) stock options granted in connection with the Company’s Stock Option Plan is lower than the limit of one-half percent (0.5%) of total shares, the resulting difference may be added for purposes of granting Shares or options in any of the seven (7) subsequent fiscal years. 4.3. For calculating the annual limit for granting Shares and stock options, the year to which the grant refers to will be considered, regardless of the year in which these Shares and stock options are transferred to Beneficiaries. 5.
