1. Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

São José dos Campos, March 27, 2020

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to invite you to attend the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meetings (“Meetings”) of Embraer S.A. (“Embraer” or “Company”), cumulatively called for April 29, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., to be held at the Company’s headquarters located at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 2170, in the city of São José dos Campos, State of São Paulo.

Embraer’s shares have been listed on B3 S.A.—Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) since 1989 and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since July 2000 through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).

Since the corporate restructuring that took place in 2006, Embraer’s capital stock has been exclusively comprised of common shares, as well as one golden share held by the Brazilian Federal Government, without a control group or a controlling shareholder. Since then, Embraer’s shares have been included in the Novo Mercado segment of B3, the highest level of corporate governance that a company can have in Brazil.

In the Meetings, you will be invited to review and resolve on the matters included in the Call Notice, in accordance with item 3 below. Embraer’s Management presented proposals related to the matters on which to be voted, which are included in this Manual.

For (i) the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting to take place on first call, the attendance of shareholders representing at least 25% of the capital stock is required, pursuant to Section 125 of Law No. 6,404/76; and (ii) the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting to take place on first call, the attendance of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the voting capital stock is required, pursuant to Section 135 of Law No. 6,404/76.

Considering the legal and statutory requirements related to the quorum for these resolutions, I emphasize the importance of your vote on the matters presented herein.

Embraer’s relationship with its shareholders is based on the disclosure of information with transparency, clarity and respect for legal and ethical principles, consolidating and preserving Embraer’s image of leadership and innovation in the capital markets. We hope that the information contained herein, prepared in this spirit, will clarify the matters on the agenda and motivate you to attend the Meetings.

We encourage your attendance in the Meetings, in the best interest of Embraer. Remember, your vote is very important to us.

We appreciate your attention,

Alexandre Gonçalves Silva

Chairman of the Board of Directors

2. Information and Guidelines for Attendance at the Meetings

2.1.    Voting at the Meetings

Each common share will be entitled to one vote on the resolutions of the Meetings, subject to the following limits set forth in the Company’s Bylaws:

 

  a)

No shareholder, or Shareholders’ Group (as defined below), Brazilian or foreign, may cast votes in excess of 5% of the shares of the Company’s capital stock; and

 

  b)

The Foreign Shareholders (as defined below) and Foreign Shareholders’ Group (as defined below) may not cast votes in excess of two-thirds of the total votes that may be exercised by the Brazilian Shareholders (as defined below) in attendance.

The above limitations apply to the Foreign Shareholders and Foreign Shareholders’ Group, jointly and successively.

The votes of the Brazilian Shareholders and the Foreign Shareholders on the resolutions of the Meetings will be calculated separately. To that end, the Chairman of the Meetings shall, upon becoming Chairman, determine and communicate the total number of votes that may be cast by the Brazilian Shareholders and by the Foreign Shareholders, observing the voting limits set forth in the Company’s Bylaws. If the total number of votes of the Foreign Shareholders exceeds two-thirds of the votes that may be cast by the Brazilian Shareholders, the number of votes of each Foreign Shareholder, including those received by means of distance voting ballot (boletim de voto à distância) sent directly to the Company or through a third party, shall be proportionately reduced by the percentage of such excess, so that the total number of votes of the Foreign Shareholders does not exceed the limit of 40% of the total votes that may be cast in the Meetings.

For purposes of applying the restriction on the maximum number of votes attributed to each shareholder, you must take into account the following definitions set forth in Embraer’s Bylaws:

Shareholders’ Group – A shareholders’ group are two or more shareholders: (i) that are parties to a voting agreement, either directly or through companies that are subsidiaries, parent companies or companies under common control; (ii) where one shareholder is, directly or indirectly, a controlling shareholder or a controlling parent company of the other shareholder or shareholders; (iii) that are companies directly or indirectly controlled by the same person, or group of persons, who may or may not be shareholders themselves; or (iv) that are companies, associations, foundations, cooperatives and trusts, investment funds or portfolios, universal rights or any other form of organization or undertaking (a) with the same administrators or managers, or further (b) whose administrators or managers are companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by the same person/entity, or group of persons/entities, which may or may not be shareholders.

As for investment funds, only funds with a common administrator, whose policies of investments and exercise of voting rights provides the administrator with full authority to decide and resolve at shareholders’ meetings, will be considered to be a member of a Shareholders’ Group.

The holders of securities issued under the Company’s Depositary Receipts program are not considered a Shareholders’ Group, unless they meet any of the criteria set forth in items (i) through (iv) above.

Any shareholders or Shareholders’ Group that are represented by the same proxy, administrator or attorney in fact shall be deemed members of the same Shareholders’ Group in the Meeting, except in the case of holders of securities issued in connection with the Company’s Depositary Receipts program, when represented by the respective Depositary Bank.

In the event of shareholders’ agreements that govern the exercise of voting rights, all signatories thereto shall be considered members of the same Shareholders’ Group for purposes of the limitation on the number of votes described above.

Given the guidelines of the Health Ministry (Ministério da Saúde) of the and Government of the State of São Paulo for the prevention and combating of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and for the safety of its shareholders, the Company suggests that its shareholders, if possible, use the distance voting ballot to participate in the Meetings hereby convened, mainly through sending it to the service providers qualified to collect and transmit the instructions for the distance voting ballot (custodian the provider of bookkeeping services of the Company’s shares), due to the greater simplicity of this process.

For purposes of verifying the limit of votes that may be cast at the Meetings, you shall also inform the Company, at least 48 hours before the Meetings, if you belong to a Shareholders’ Group.

4. Management’s Proposals on the Agenda

Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting:

4.1.    To review the management accounts and to examine, discuss and approve the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019

The management accounts are detailed in the Management Report and financial statements, and (i) were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; and (ii) obtained a favorable opinion from the Company’s Fiscal Council and Audit, Risk and Ethic Committee. The financial statements were audited and obtained a favorable opinion from the Company’s independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The documents to be submitted for shareholders’ approval were published in the newspapers Valor Econômico, O Vale and Diário Oficial do Estado de São Paulo on March 27, 2020, and are available at the Company’s headquarters, the CVM and B3, as well as on the internet on Embraer’s website (ri.embraer.com.br).

The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that its shareholders carefully examine the documents made available by Management to review the Company’s financial statements and, if they agree, to approve these accounts and financial statements.

Pursuant to Section 9, item III, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09, the information set forth in Annex I hereto reflects Management’s comments about the Company’s financial condition.

Moreover, the opinion and report of the Audit, Risk and Ethic Committee are included in Annex II hereto.

4.2.    To review and to resolve on the allocation of net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019

Pursuant to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded net loss of R$1,316,797,395.00.

The allocation of net loss consists in determining the portions of net loss that will be absorbed by the unrealized revenue, legal and statutory reserves.

The Board of Directors voted to present the following proposal for allocation of net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting: absorption, by the Investments and Working Capital Reserve set forth in Section 50 of the Company’s Bylaws, of the net loss already assessed for the year (R$1,316,797,395.00), deducted by the result of the proceeds from the sale of treasury shares in view of the exercise of stock options under the Company’s stock option plan in the amount of R$3,002,015.00, as well as the amount of R$8,103,424.00 in investment subsidies used in 2019, reclassified to the “Investment Subsidy Reserve” account, plus the result calculated from adjustments regarding the change in accounting practices, in the amount of R$5,023,000.00, totaling R$1,322,879,834.00 to be absorbed by the Investments and Working Capital Reserve.

The information set forth in Annex 9-1-II of CVM Instruction No. 481/09 will not be presented due to the assessment of loss in the year.

4.3.    To elect the members of the Fiscal Council

The election of members of the Fiscal Council must comply with the rules set forth in Section 43, Paragraph 1, of the Company’s Bylaws.

Pursuant to Section 31, Paragraph 1, of the Company’s Bylaws, the slate proposed for the 2020/2021 period is as follows:

Members    Alternate Members

 

Ivan Mendes do Carmo

Tarcísio Luiz Silva Fontenele

Table of Contents

Mr. Ivan Mendes do Carmo is appointed as Chairman and Mr. José Mauro Laxe Vilela is appointed as Vice-Chairman of the Fiscal Council.

We emphasize that any shareholder, or group of shareholders, that does not comply with the legal deadline to appoint a slate of candidates on the distance voting ballot (boletim de voto à distância) and wishes to appoint an alternative slate for the Fiscal Council, must notify Embraer in this regard, in writing, ten days before the Meetings, including the information related to the candidates set forth in items 12.5 to 12.10 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência), pursuant to Section 10 of CVM Instruction No. 481/09, as well as the name, identification and professional curriculum of each candidate, attaching to the notice an instrument signed by each candidate confirming his or her acceptance to run for election. Embraer will publish, within eight days before the Meetings, a notice informing shareholders where they can find the list of all proposed candidates and a copy of their identification and professional curriculum.

Each shareholder may only vote for one slate of candidates and the candidates in the slate who receive the highest number of votes at the Meetings will be declared elected.

The information included in items 12.5 to 12.10 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência) related to the slate of candidates proposed by the Fiscal Council is set forth in Annex III hereto, in compliance with Section 10 of CVM Instruction No. 481/09.

4.4.    To determine the aggregate annual compensation of the Company’s management

Pursuant to Section 18, item IV, of the Company’s Bylaws, the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting must establish the aggregate annual compensation of members of the Company’s management.

Considering the relevance of ensuring that the amounts of the aggregate compensation include the amounts set forth in item 13 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência), the Company includes in the aggregate compensation the costs related to the stock-based compensation offered to the members of the management. Considering that the fair value of the grants related to the long-term incentive plan is calculated based on the market value of the Company’s shares, the appreciation of the value of these shares is reflected in the value of the stock-based compensation.

Accordingly, the annual aggregate limit proposed by the Board of Directors as compensation of members of the Company’s management is R$69 million for the period between May 2020 and April 2021.

The annual aggregate limit hereby proposed is less than that approved by shareholders in Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held in 2019, due to the reduction in the number of members of the statutory Board of Officers of the Company.

Please also note that the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held in 2019 approved an aggregate limit as compensation to members of the management of R$74 million, and the estimated amount to be effectively realized until April 2020 is approximately R$54 million. The difference between the approved limit and the actual amount is primarily due to the non-achievement of maximum Company targets and the non-payment of the Closing Bonus, due the postponement of the closing of the the strategic partnership between Embraer and The Boeing Company.

Finally, it should be noted the amount subject to approval refers to the period between May 2020 and April 2021, while item 13.2 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência) reflects the period between January and December 2020.

Pursuant to Section 12, item II, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09, the information set forth in item 13 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência) is included in Annex IV hereto.

Annex I – Management’s Considerations

(Information set forth in Section 9, item III, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09)

10.1 – Financial Position

The assessment and opinions included herein reflect the views and perceptions of our Executive Officers about our activities, business and performance. The amounts included in this item 10.1 derive from our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations involving risks and uncertainties. Future results and the timing of events may differ materially from those included in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, other matters set forth in this Company’s Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

The financial information included in items 10.1 through 10.9 must be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, and notes thereto. The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The set of audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes the first year of adoption of IFRS 16/CPC 06(R2) – Leases. The transition method chosen by the Company was the modified retrospective method, with initial application as of January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the comparative financial information for previous periods were not restated and remain as previously reported. For more information on the adoption of such accounting standards, see item 10.4 of Company’s Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

On February 26, 2019, the shareholders of the Company approved the strategic partnership entered into between the Company and Boeing. As a result of the approval of the Transaction (as defined in item 10.3 below), the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 include the classification of the assets and liabilities related to the Commercial Aviation business unit and associated services as held for sale and its results as discontinued operation. The comparative statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was restated to evidence the results of continuing operations separately from the discontinued operation since the beginning of the comparative period.

A company’s functional currency is the currency used in the main economic environment in which the company operates, as this currency influences the prices of goods and services, the competitive forces and regulations of its country of origin, the costs of supplying products and services, and in raising financial resources. In this context, Embraer’s management, after analyzing its operations and business, concluded that the U.S. dollar (“US$” or “dollar”) is its functional currency.

 

This is a free translation of the manual and management proposal for the Embraer’s shareholders’ meetings required pursuant to Brazilian laws. This is not, and shall not be read as, proxy statement compliant with U.S. laws. If there is any inconsistency or ambiguity between the English version and the Portuguese version of this manual and management proposal, the Portuguese version shall prevail.

Sources of funds for working capital and investments in non-current assets used by the Company

Investments in non-current assets consist primarily of expenses with research and development associated with the development of aircrafts for the executive aviation markets and investments in industrial capacity in Brazil and abroad. Generally, these investments are supported by funds provided by operations, borrowings under credit arrangements primarily obtained from government financing agencies, such as the Brazilian Social and Economic Development Bank (BNDES – Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social) and the Brazilian Funding Authority for Studies and Projects (FINEP – Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos), contributions in cash from risk-sharing partners, and advance payments from customers.

In 2019 and 2018, the Company did not make any significant use of any of the sources of funds mentioned above.

As part of the group of liabilities held for sale in our financial statements, in 2017, Embraer Netherlands Finance B.V., a subsidiary of the Company, issued US$750.0 million guaranteed notes due February 1, 2027, to meet general corporate purposes.

 

(e)

Sources of funds for working capital and investments in non-current assets that the Company intends to use to cover liquidity deficiencies

The Company has a Financial Management Policy, approved by the Board of Directors, with the purpose of establishing guidelines applicable to all business areas, focusing on the management of corporate finances, including the management of cash flow and capital structure, in order to set out the risks associated with financial transactions and any liquidity deficiencies.

The Company believes that its traditional sources of funds are sufficient to meet its foreseeable working capital and investment requirements, including (i) continuing to improve the following jet models: Phenom 100EV, the Phenom 300E, the Lineage 1000, the Legacy 650E, the Legacy 450, the Praetor 500 and the Praetor 600, and (ii) other planned capital expenditures.

In case of liquidity deficiency, the Company believes it will be able to access additional source of financing, such as: issuance of corporate bonds, issuance of debentures, import and export financing, credit facilities provided by development agencies in Brazil and credit facilities provided by Brazilian and international banks, whose funds will be subject to market conditions, including cost and credit, in effect at the time of the contracting.

COMPARISON OF THE MAIN CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ITEMS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND DECEMBER 31, 2018

Current Assets

As of December 31, 2019, current assets totaled R$34,548.7 million compared to R$27,398.4 million as of December 31, 2018. Current assets accounted for 81.1% and 62.6% of our total assets as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The 26.1% increase in the current assets was primarily due to the increase in assets held for sale, as a result of the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing, as in 2019, the entire amount of assets held for sale was classified as current assets, resulting in this variation.

Non-current assets

As of December 31, 2019, non-current assets totaled R$8,066.0 million, compared to R$16,360.4 million as of December 31, 2018. Non-current assets accounted for 18.9% and 37.4% of total assets as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. This significant decrease is primarily due to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing, as in 2019, the amount of assets held for sale was classified as current assets.

Assets Held for Sale

As of December 31, 2019, assets held for sale totaled R$20,857.4 million.

Current liabilities

As of December 31, 2019, current liabilities totaled R$25,739.9 million, compared to R$11,734.8 million as of December 31, 2018. Current liabilities accounted for 60.4% and 26.87% of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. This 119.3% increase in the period was basically due to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing, as loans and financing were recorded as non-current liabilities in 2018 and are now recorded as liabilities held for sale.

Non-current liabilities

As of December 31, 2019, non-current liabilities totaled R$2,305.2 million compared to R$16,757.0 million as of December 31, 2018. Non-current liabilities accounted for 5.4% and 38.3% of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. This decrease was due to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing, as loans and financing of the discontinued operation were recorded as non-current liabilities in 2018.

Liabilities Held for Sale

As of December 31, 2019, liabilities held for sale totaled R$20,089.1 million.

Shareholders’ equity

As of December 31, 2019, shareholders’ equity totaled R$14,569.6 million, compared to R$15,267.0 million as of December 31, 2018. This 4.6% decrease was primarily due to the net loss for the period.

As of December 31, 2018, current assets totaled R$27,398.4 million compared to R$23,419.1 million as of December 31, 2017. Current assets accounted for 62.6% and 59.1% of total assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The 17.0% increase in the current assets was primarily due to the 36.7% increase in inventories as a result of fewer deliveries in 2018 compared to 2017. Moreover, guarantee deposits totaled R$1,316.9 million compared to an amount close to zero in 2017.

Non-current assets

As of December 31, 2018, non-current assets totaled R$16,360.4 million compared to R$16,192.6 million as of December 31, 2017. Non-current assets accounted for 37.4% and 40.9% of total assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar, which was offset by an average increase of 13% in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Nonetheless, non-current assets increased slightly by 1% in 2018 compared to 2017. As a percentage of total assets, non-current assets also decreased slightly from 40.9% to 37.4% in the same period.

Current liabilities

As of December 31, 2018, current liabilities totaled R$11,734.8 million compared to R$9,272.9 million as of December 31, 2017. Current liabilities accounted for 26.8% and 23.4% of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This 26.5% increase in the period was basically due to the depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar, in addition to the increase in Non-recourse and recourse debt and contract liabilities, which resulted in the transfer of a portion of non-current liabilities to current liabilities.

Non-current liabilities

As of December 31, 2018, non-current liabilities totaled R$16,757.0 million compared to R$16,519.4 million as of December 31, 2017. Non-current liabilities accounted for 38.3% and 41.7% of liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Notwithstanding this decrease, non-current liabilities remained stable in 2018 compared to 2017.

Shareholders’ equity

As of December 31, 2018, shareholders’ equity totaled R$15,267.0 million, compared to R$13,819.4 million as of December 31, 2017. This 10.5% increase was primarily due to the increase in capital in the amount of R$370.0 million upon the capitalization of a portion of the investment and working capital reserve, without the issuance of new shares and no change in the number of shares (meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 5, 2019) and equity value adjustment in the period.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018

Net Revenue

Continuing Operations

In 2019, Embraer delivered 109 executive aircrafts (62 light jets and 47 large jets), compared to a total of 91 aircrafts (64 light jets and 27 large jets) delivered in 2018.

This increase in the number of aircrafts delivered in 2019, the depreciation of the Real in the period, and the progress in the development of agreements in the Defense & Security segment, resulted in revenue of R$10,467.90 million, representing a 33% increase compared to revenue of R$7,888.00 in 2018.

In 2019, revenue from the Executive Aviation business totaled R$5,642.9 million, representing a 34.9% increase compared to R$4,181.6 million in the previous year. Revenue from the Defense & Security business totaled R$3,058.6 million, representing a 39.1% increase compared to R$2,198.6 million in 2018, primarily due to the review of the cost of the KC-390 aircraft recorded in the second quarter of 2018, causing a negative impact of R$458.7 million, as a result of the incident with the KC-390 aircraft involving prototype 001. Finally, in 2019, the Services & Support segment regarding continuing operations is part of the services and support of the Executive Aviation and Defense & Security businesses, having generated R$1,730.5 million in total revenue, representing a 18.1% increase compared to R$1,464.8 million in 2018. Revenue from Other Related businesses totaled R$36.0 million in 2019, representing a 16.5% decrease compared to 2018.

Discontinued Operations

In 2019, if we take into account the deliveries regarding the business of discontinued operations, Embraer delivered 89 commercial aircrafts compared to a total of 90 commercial aircrafts delivered in 2018. Notwithstanding the decrease of one aircraft delivered in 2019 compared to 2018, the depreciation of the Real in the period generated net revenue of R$11,334.1 million, representing a 4.6% increase compared to R$10,833.6 in 2018.

Cost of Sales and Services

Continuing Operations

In 2019, cost of sales and services totaled R$9,0373 million, representing a 25.9% increase compared to R$7,176.1 million in 2018. Increased deliveries of executive jets, increased defense and services revenue and the depreciation of the Real in the period resulted in an increase in cost of sales and services.

Table of Contents

Discontinued Operations

In 2019, other operating income (expense), net totaled an expense of R$527.4 million, representing a 461.1% increase compared to R$94.0 million in 2018, primarily due to the segregation costs related to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing and the impact of the exchange rate variation mentioned above.

Operating Profit

Continuing Operations

In 2019, operating profit and operating margin (EBIT) totaled R$643.7 million and -6.1%, respectively, compared to a loss of R$1,069.6 million and -13.6%, respectively, in 2018. In 2019, we had more deliveries and a better margin in the Executive Aviation business. In 2018, we made adjustments to reflect non-recurring items derived from the review of the cost base of the KC-390 aircraft development program, as a result of the incident with prototype 001 in May 2018, generating a negative impact of R$458.7 million in revenue and the increase in expenses related to impairment of aircrafts used in the Company’s portfolio.

Discontinued Operations

In 2019, consolidated operating profit and operating margin (EBIT) totaled R$333.9 million and 2.9%, respectively, compared to R$1,172.6 million and 10.8%, respectively, in 2018. As described above, this decrease was due to fewer deliveries of aircrafts in 2019, an increased share of E2 jets, whose costs are still high due to their learning curve, and the impacts of the segregation costs related to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing.

Financial income (expense), net

Continuing operations

Financial income (expense), net increased from R$23.9 million in 2018 to R$250.4 million in 2019, primarily due to the increase in interest on non-recurring receivables.

Discontinued Operations

Consolidated financial income (expense), net increased from R$656.9 million in 2018 to R$702.4 million in 2019, primarily due to the effect of exchange rate variation, as debt from discontinued operations is mostly denominated in U.S. dollars.

Net Income (Loss)

Continuing Operations

In 2019, net loss totaled R$847.7 million, compared to net loss of R$976.4 million.

Discontinued Operations

In 2019, net loss totaled R$446.4 million, compared to R$332.9 million in 2018. As described above, discontinued operations had higher costs due to increased deliveries of E2 jets, which is still undergoing its learning curve, and segregation costs related to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing.

Net Revenue

In 2018, Embraer delivered 90 commercial aircrafts and 91 executive aircrafts (64 light jets and 27 large jets), compared to a total of 101 commercial aircrafts and 109 executive aircrafts (72 light jets and 37 large jets) delivered in 2017.

This decrease in the number of aircrafts delivered in 2018, together with the depreciation of the Real in the period, resulted in revenue of R$18,721.6 million, below the Company’s estimates, although stable compared to revenue of R$18,776.1 million in 2017.

In 2018, revenue from the Commercial Aviation business totaled R$8,706.1 million, representing a 1.8% decrease compared to R$8,863.2 million in 2017. In 2018, revenue from the Executive Aviation business totaled R$4,181.6 million, representing a 1% increase compared to R$4,134.6 million in the previous year. Revenue from the Defense & Security business totaled R$2,198.6 million, representing a 19.6% decrease compared to R$2,733.1 million in 2017, primarily due to the review of the cost of the KC-390 aircraft development program in the second quarter of 2018, causing a negative impact of R$458.7 million, as a result of the incident with the KC-390 involving prototype 001. Finally, in 2018, the Company started to report the Services & Support segment separately from other business units, generating revenue of R$3,577.8 million, representing a 20.9% increase compared to R$2,943.7 million in 2017. Revenue from Other Related businesses totaled R$57.6 million in 2018, representing a 43.2% decrease compared to 2017.

Cost of Sales and Services

In 2018, cost of sales and services totaled R$15,915.2 million, representing a 4.3% increase compared to R$15,262.5 million in 2017. Fewer deliveries in the year, which caused a decrease in cost of sales, were offset by the depreciation of the Real in the period. Costs from the Defense & Security segment also increased, affecting gross profit and gross margin.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

As a result of the foregoing, in 2018, the Company’s gross profit totaled R$2,806.4 million, representing a 20.1% decrease compared to R$3,513.6 million in 2017. In 2018, gross margin was 15.0%, representing a decrease compared to 18.7% in 2017.

Administrative and Selling Expenses

In 2018, administrative expenses increased by 17.0% and totaled R$669.9 million, accounting for 3.6% of the revenue for the period. Notwithstanding fewer deliveries and lower revenue in 2018, administrative expenses accounted for most of fixed expenses.

In 2018, selling expenses totaled R$1,114.3 million, representing a 10.4% increase compared to R$1,009.7 million in 2017.

In both cases, the depreciation of the Real affected the increase in expenses, especially selling expenses, which decreased upon the assessment of the company’s functional currency, the U.S. dollar.

Research Expenses

Research expenses totaled R$168.5 million in 2018, compared to R$157.6 million in 2017, and were within the Company’s initial estimates, meeting all targets established for the period.

Other Operating Income (Expense)

In 2018, other operating income (expense), net totaled an expense of R$749.0 million, representing a 10.3% increase compared to R$679.0 million in 2017, primarily due to the impact of the exchange rate variation mentioned above.

Operating Profit

In 2018, operating profit and operating margin (EBIT) totaled R$103.1 million and 0.6%, respectively, compared to R$1,098.6 million and 5.8%, respectively, in 2017, below the Company’s initial estimates. The main reasons why the Company’s initial estimate was not achieved were the adjustments made to reflect non-recurring items derived from the review of the cost base of the KC-390 development program, as a result of the incident with prototype 001 in May 2018, generating a negative impact of R$458.7 million in revenue and the increase in expenses related to impairment of aircrafts used in the Company’s portfolio. Moreover, fewer deliveries in the Executive Aviation segment affected the operating results.

Financial income (expense), net

Financial income (expense), net increased from R$130.7 million in 2017 to R$633.0 million in 2018, primarily due to our current net debt position and lower financial income from our cash and cash equivalents, in addition to higher net financial expense recognized in our residual value guarantees.

Net Income (Loss)

In 2018, net loss totaled R$643.6 million and net loss per share totaled R$0.91, compared to Net income of R$902.3 million and net income per share of R$1.16 in 2017. Adjusted net loss, excluding deferred income tax and social contribution and also the net effect, after taxes, of the non-recurring items described above, totaled R$224.3 million in 2018, compared to R$995.0 million in 2017. Net loss per share, excluding these same items, totaled R$0.31 in 2018, compared to net income per share of R$1.36 in 2017.

Net Cash Generated (Used) in Operating Activities

In 2019, net cash generated from operating activities totaled R$3,749.4 million, representing a 6.6% decrease compared to R$4,012.8 million in 2018, primarily due to the decrease in financial investments and contracted assets, inventories and escrow deposits, together with the increase in trade accounts payable and non-recourse and recourse debt, as well as a lower net income compared to 2019.

In 2018, net cash generated from operating activities totaled R$4,012.8 million, representing a significant increase of 60.7% compared to net cash generated from operating activities of R$2,497.1 million in 2017, due to the decrease in inventories in the yearly comparison. Moreover, this improvement in cash results from a higher net income, excluding the effects of non-cash items.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

In 2019, net cash generated by investing activities totaled R$1,588.7 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of R$1,915.4 million in 2018. The main variations between years were due to liquidating financial investments and acquisitions in property, plant and equipment, related to segregation costs of the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing.

In 2018, net cash used in investing activities totaled R$1,915.4 million, representing a 44.7% decrease compared to 2017. The main variations between years were due to the 29.5% decrease in additions to intangible assets and the 77.5% decrease in investments held to maturity. The decrease in additions to intangible assets is primarily due to the progress of the development program for the second generation of E2 E-Jets, which requires less cash, already including the certification of the E190-E2 and the expected certification of the E195-E2 in 2019. The decrease in investments held to maturity was primarily due to lower investments in short-term securities (held to maturity).

Net Cash Generated (Used) in Financing Activities

In 2019, net cash used in financing activities totaled R$1,026.4 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of R$1,885.8 million in 2018, primarily due to the 85.6% decrease in new financings obtained and the 28.2% increase in repaid financings, which increased by 13.3% in 2019. However, we recorded new financings that decreased the use of cash in 2019.

In 2018, net cash used in financing activities totaled R$1,885.8 million, compared to net cash generated in financing activities of R$1,104.0 million in 2017, primarily due to the 85.6% decrease in Proceeds from borrowings and the 28.2% increase in repayment of borrowings.

Discontinued Operation

As disclosed in our financial statements, in note 4.4 – Cash Flow, in 2019, net cash generated from operating activities totaled R$1,191.6 million compared to net cash generated from operating activities of R$1,688.6 million in 2018.

10.2 – Results of Operations and Financial Results

(a)    Results of the company’s operations, including (i) a description of any significant components of revenue and (ii) factors that materially affect the results of operations.

Continuing Operations

The main factors that affect the Company’s revenue are: (1) the volume of executive aircraft deliveries; (2) the mix of deliveries of small and large jets for executive aviation; (3) the exchange rate variation, considering the U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company; (4) revenues from services regarding maintenance services, parts supply, training, etc., which also significantly contribute to the Company’s revenue; (5) the entry into service of new products; and (6) revenue from the Defense & Security segment.

Discontinued operations

The main factors that affect Company’s result are: (1) the volume of commercial aircraft deliveries; and (2) revenues from services, comprising maintenance services, parts supply, training, etc.

The charts below set forth the total revenue of the Company (continuing and discontinued operations) by business unit and region. The Commercial Aviation segment accounts for most of the revenue of the Company, followed by Executive Aviation, Services & Support and Defense & Security. Geographically, revenue from North America, as a percentage of total revenue, has been increasing in the last three years. North America remained as the main consumer market of Embraer’s products and services, especially in the executive aviation market and regarding E175 commercial jets, as a result of the success of a number of sales campaigns launched in the United States in recent years, where the Company obtained most of all orders of jets with 76 seats. The European market decreased slightly, accounting for 17% of the Company’s revenue. Revenue from Brazil, as a percentage of total revenue, increased to 11% in 2019. Revenue from Latin America and Asia-Pacific/China, as a percentage of total revenue, decreased compared to the previous year, and revenue from Africa and the Middle East remained stable. Together, these regions accounted for 11% of the Company’s revenue.

Continuing Operations

In 2019, in regard to continuing operations, operating profit and operating margin (EBIT) totaled a negative amount of R$643.7 million and -6.1%, respectively, primarily due to the Defense & Security segment, as a result of the review of base cost of the development agreement for the KC-390 aircraft. This impact was partially offset by the increase in profitability of the Executive Aviation segment.

Discontinued operations

In 2019, in regard to discontinued operations, operating profit and operating margin (EBIT) totaled R$333.9 million and 2.9%, respectively. The largest elements for result below the margin of these two operations in previous years were decreased profitability in the Commercial Aviation segment (less favorable mix of deliveries), and segregation costs related to the Commercial Aviation segment, related to the strategic partnership entered into between Embraer and Boeing, which totaled R$485.5 million.

(b)     Variations in revenues attributable to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services

In 2019, Embraer delivered 198 aircrafts in the Commercial and Executive Aviation segments, representing an increase compared to 181 aircrafts delivered in these segments in 2018, which, together with the 13% average depreciation of the Real in the period, generated revenue of R$10,467.9 million from continuing operations and R$11,334.1 million from discontinued operations, within the Company’s estimates, representing an increase compared to revenue of R$7,888.0 million in 2018 from continuing operations and revenue of R$10,833.6 million from discontinued operations.

In 2019, net revenue from the Commercial Aviation business totaled R$8,920.7 million, representing a 2.5% increase compared to R$8,706.1 million in 2018. This slight increase is primarily due to the exchange rate variation in the period, which favored revenues in Reais. In 2019, deliveries in this segment remained virtually stable, totaling 90 and 89 aircrafts in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

In 2019, revenue from the Executive Aviation business totaled R$5,642.9 million, representing a 34.9% increase compared to R$4,181.6 in 2018. In addition to exchange rate variation, as mentioned above, this significant increase was primarily due to increased deliveries in 2019, totaling 109 executive jets, especially the delivery of 47 large jets (in addition to 62 light jets), compared to 91 executive jets (64 light jets and 27 large jets) delivered in 2018.

In 2019, net revenue from the Defense & Security business totaled R$3,058.6 million, representing a 39.1% increase compared to R$2,198.6 million in 2018. In 2018, the decrease in net revenue was due to the base review of the KC-390 aircraft development agreement, as a result of the incident occurred in May 2018, involving prototype 001, which got off lane during tests on the ground.

In 2019, revenue from the Services & Support business totaled R$4,142.9 million, representing a 15.8% increase compared to R$3,577.8 million in 2018, primarily due to exchange rate variation. This revenue comprises three segments of the Company, namely, Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Defense. As described above, the service business of the Commercial Aviation segment is presented as Commercial Aviation discontinued operation in our financial statements and the service business of the Executive Aviation and Defense segments is presented as continuing operations.

In 2019, revenue from Other business totaled R$37.0 million, representing a 35.8% decrease compared to R$57.6 million in 2018.

In 2018, the Company delivered 181 aircrafts in the Commercial and Executive Aviation segments, representing a decrease compared to 210 aircrafts delivered in these segments in 2017, which was offset by the 17% depreciation of the Real in the period, generating revenue of R$18,721.6 million, below the Company’s estimates, albeit in line with revenue of R$18,776.1 million in 2017.

In 2018, net revenue from the Commercial Aviation business totaled R$8,706.1 million, representing a 1.8% decrease compared to R$8,863.2 million in 2017. As explained above, this slight decrease is due to the decrease in deliveries in this segment, from 101 aircrafts in 2017 to 90 aircrafts in 2018, which was offset by the depreciation of the Real.

Table of Contents

In 2018, revenue from the Executive Aviation business totaled R$ 4,181.6 million, representing a 1.1% increase compared to R$4,134.6 million in 2017. In this case, the depreciation of the Real generated an increase in revenue, which was offset by fewer deliveries in 2018, i.e., 91 jets (64 light jets and 27 large jets) delivered in 2018, compared to 109 jets (72 light jets and 37 large jets) delivered in 2017.

In 2018, net revenue from the Defense & Security business totaled R$2,198.6 million, representing a 19.6% decrease compared to R$2,733.1 million in 2017, due to the base review of the KC-390 aircraft development program, as a result of the incident that occurred with the prototype.

In 2018, revenue from the Services & Support business, which started to be reported separately from the other segments as of 2018, totaled R$3,577.8 million, representing a 22% increase compared to 2017.

In 2018, revenue from Other business totaled R$57.5 million, representing a 43.4% decrease compared to R$101.5 million in 2017.

(c)    Impact of inflation and variation in prices of the main inputs and products, exchange rate and interest rate in the operations and financial results of the company, if material

Considering the functional currency determined by the Company is the U.S. dollar, the foreign exchange gain (loss), net presented in the financial statements of the Company mostly refers to monetary items in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a strategy to mitigate risks, the allocation of cash to assets denominated in Reais or U.S. dollars held by Company is one of the main tools to hedge against exchange rate variations.

Considering that the Company issues notes abroad, as described in item 10.1(i) of this Company’s Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência), and maintains cash primarily in U.S. dollars, the variation in exchange rates directly affects financial results; however, it does not affect the Company’s financial planning because its functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Interest rates affect Embraer’s financial results. An increase or decrease in local interest rates also influences the financial result of the Company, as it may increase expenses.

In 2019, investments in Reais totaled R$535.6 million, of which R$518.6 million corresponded to continuing operations and R$16.8 million corresponded to discontinued operations, compared to R$1,575.0 million in 2018 and R$2,481.7 million in 2017. Investments abroad are indexed to a pre-fixed rate and, considering interest rates remained stable and relatively low in the period, they did not cause significant variations in the financial results.

In the last three years, the variation in prices of the main inputs and products did not affect the results of operations and/or financial results of the Company.

10.3 – Material events, occurred and expected, in the financial statements

(a)    Introduction or sale of operating segment

During 2017, after announcing the creation of a new business unit in 2016, the Company consolidated customer support services and processes previously attributed to each of our business areas to identify synergies and quantify our experience in our Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, Defense & Security and Agricultural Aviation units regarding services and support. 2018 was the first year in which the Services and Support segment was separated. The Services and Support segment was created to strengthen Embraer’s know-how and provide the best post-sale service and support solutions to customers through a comprehensive portfolio of innovative and competitive solutions to ensure the operating efficiency of products manufactured by Embraer and other aircraft manufacturers, extending the useful life of commercial, executive and defense aircraft.

In addition to proposing support solutions to customers, OGMA offers Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) services in connection with a diversified portfolio of defense, commercial and executive aircraft, including aircraft engines and components. Moreover, OGMA plays an important role as supplier of aeronautical metal and composite structures to a number of aircraft manufacturers.

The services and support segment has six macro processes:

Strategic Partnership with Boeing

On January 24, 2019, Embraer, the Boeing Company (“Boeing”) and certain of their subsidiaries entered into the Master Transaction Agreement and certain other transaction agreements, pursuant to which, subject to certain approvals and other conditions precedent, a Brazilian subsidiary of Boeing will acquire a controlling stake in Embraer’s commercial aviation business unit and Embraer and Boeing, or their respective subsidiaries, will form a joint venture for the promotion and development of new markets and applications for the C-390 Millenium multi-mission aircraft (“Transaction”).

On February 26, 2019, the shareholders of Embraer approved the terms and conditions of the Transaction at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting. On January 1, 2020, Embraer conducted an internal restructuring, separating its Commercial Aviation business through a contribution, made by Embraer, in the capital stock of Yaborã Indústria Aeronáutica S.A., consisting of net assets comprising assets, liabilities, goods, rights and obligations related to Embraer’s Commercial Aviation business unit.

10.4 – Significant Changes to Accounting Standards – Qualifications and Emphasis in the Auditor’s Report

(a)    Significant Changes to Accounting Standards

The annual financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2019 include the first year of adoption of IFRS 16/ CPC 06 (R2) – Leases and IFRIC 23/ ICPC 22 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment.

The effects of the adoption of IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2) – Leases are presented prospectively as of January 1, 2019, and the Company used the modified retrospective method for the transition. The Company used the following methods allowed by the accounting standard for its agreements: (i) not recording lease agreements that, on the initial date, provide for a lease term of 12 months or less (short-term leases); and (ii) not recording agreements with underlying individual asset of amounts lower than US$5,000 (low-value leases).

For the interpretation of IFRIC 23/ ICPC 22, the Company also decided to make a prospective transition. In the assessment of the Company’s management, no significant impacts existed in connection with the recording of liabilities based on this interpretation, as all procedures adopted for the calculation and payment of taxes on income are supported by applicable law and court cases of Administrative and Judicial Courts.

In addition, with the adoption of IFRIC 23/ICPC 22, which seeks to clarify the application of requirements related to the recognition and measurement set forth in IAS12/CPC 32 – Income Taxes in case of uncertainty about the tax treatment applied to the calculation of the relevant taxes (income tax and social contribution on net income), the Company started to review all its proceedings and respective identification, recognition, measurement and disclosure criteria adopted until then.

The review involved the joint work of the relevant law firms and an assessment of the aspects related to uncertain tax treatments, which resulted in a general review of proceedings, their risk classifications and disclosure criteria, in which certain proceedings with a possible chance of loss were not disclosed in financial statements because they were in their initial stage, in the administrative level. Moreover, we also assessed the uniqueness of subject matters, specificities of the aeronautical segment in Brazil and the insufficient number of court precedents.

The Management is disclosing, in Note 26.2, these contingent liabilities related to income tax and social contribution matters that were not previously disclosed, taking into account their historical amounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company also changed its accounting policy to record hedge accounting structures, replacing IAS 39/CPC38 by IFRS 9/CPC 48 – Financial Instruments, as of January 1, 2019.

(b)    Significant Effects of the Changes to Accounting Practices

The effects to the adoption of IFRS 16/ CPC 06 (R2) as of January 1, 2019 were:

 

   

recognition of lease liabilities in the total amount of R$43,131 in the Parent Company and R$221,535 in the Consolidated, regarding lease payments based on the cash flows of each agreement, discounted at present value at the incremental loan rate. The weighted average incremental loan rate applied on lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019, was 6.3% p.a.

 

   

the right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets of these agreements were measured in an amount equal to the amount of lease liabilities.

In regard to the change in accounting policy for the recording of hedge accounting structures, the Company started to record changes in the fair value of the temporal element of certain hedging instruments (options) included in cash flow hedging structures, previously recognized in financial result in accordance with IAS 39/CPC 38, in other comprehensive income as hedging cost in the cash flow hedging line item. As of January 1, 2019, the amount of R$5,023 was reclassified from revenue reserves to financial instruments reserve, in equity value adjustment in shareholders’ equity, regarding the time value of the options in effect on the date of initial application. No additional accounting impacts occurred as a result of this change.

10.5 Critical Accounting Policies

The Company is required to use estimates to measure certain transactions. The use of estimates is always associated with judgment and subjective perceptions, for which reason the Company identifies its main estimates in its financial statements. The Management of the Company understands that certain variables and assumptions used in its estimates may affect its financial statements and, accordingly, the Company highlights its critical accounting policies in the paragraphs below.

Revenue from Long-term Contracts (Defense & Security)

In the Defense & Security segment, a significant portion of revenue is derived from long-term agreements pursuant to which the control over products and services is transferred to customers (the Brazilian government and foreign governments) over time, applying the incurred cost method, based on accumulated incurred costs divided by total estimated costs to measure progress to completion. During the performance of the agreement, the Company assesses incurred costs and, if required, total estimated costs to completion are adjusted to reflect the variations in relation to estimated amounts, primarily due to material changes in circumstances and new events, such as contractual amendments. Any increase or decrease in revenue and estimated costs to completion are cumulatively recognized in the statements of income for the reporting period in which the circumstances that generated the review were identified by Management. The Management of the Company understands that an inadequate projection of the costs of completion regarding these agreements may cause material distortions in the measurement of the respective revenues.

Residual Value Guarantees

Residual value guarantees provided in the sale of new aircraft may be exercised at the expiration of financing agreements entered into between a financing agent and the customer/operator of these aircraft. At the time of granting, these guarantees are measured at fair value and quarterly reviewed to reflect any losses due to the fair value of these obligations. Residual value guarantees may be exercised if the quoted market value is lower than the guaranteed future fair value. Future fair value is estimated based on aircraft valuations issued by third parties, including information obtained from the sale or lease of similar aircraft in the secondary market. The Management of the Company believes that valuations issued by qualified third parties represent an independent source and is the best way to estimate any exposures related to residual value guarantees.

Impairment of Non-current Assets

The annual impairment test considers our medium and long-term strategic plan, brought to present value at the weighted average cost of capital, or WACC, rate compatible with the market and that reflects the shareholders expectations of return. In preparing or using this information, the Company uses estimates, as follows:

 

  (a)

Gross expected cash flow – management projects inflows and outflows based on past performance taking into account its business strategy and market development expectations. These projections also take into account the efficiency gains planned for the product cycle.

 

  (b)

Growth rates – the growth rates were reflected in the revenue flow budgeted by the Company, consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports.

 

  (c)

Discount rates – a WACC discount rate that reflects the expected return of investors is used at the time the calculation is made. This rate is also compared with the market to confirm its consistency.

The process of estimating the value in use involves assumptions, judgments and estimates for future cash flows, which represent the Company’s best estimate approved by management. Accordingly, Management understands that the impairment test uses future information based on best estimates and, therefore, any impairment adjustment is adequately assessed.    

Classification and presentation of the Commercial Aviation business as assets held for sale and discontinued operation

The Company’s financial statements were prepared taking into account the classification, measurement and presentation of assets, liabilities and results of the Commercial Aviation business and associated services as held for sale and discontinued operations, subject to the terms in effect pursuant to the agreement entered into with Boeing on the base date and the definition of the transaction as ‘highly probable” in the Management’s judgment, in view of IFRS 5/CPC 31, thus designated as such after the approval of the agreement by the Company’s shareholders at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on February 26, 2019 (as disclosed in Note 3.6 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018). Additional details on the transaction and conditions precedent for its completion are disclosed in Notes 1 and 4 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As of the moment in which assets are classified as held for sale, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets and right of use that comprise the group of assets to be sold cease and are no longer recognized in the result for the year, based on the expectation of realization of the sale of these assets, instead of continuous use. If these assets had not been classified as held for sale, the depreciation and amortization that would have been recognized in the result for the year ended December 31, 2019 would have totaled R$335,401.

10.6 – Material Items not Included in the Financial Statements (off-balance sheet items)

(a)    Assets and liabilities directly or indirectly held by the company that are not included in its balance sheet (off-balance sheet items), such as (i) operating lease-purchase agreements, assets and liabilities, (ii) written-off portfolios of receivables, in which the entity maintains its risks and responsibilities, indicating the respective liabilities, (iii) agreements for the future purchase and sale of products or services, (iv) unfinished construction agreements and (v) agreements for future financing disbursements

The Company contracts different types of insurance policies to protect its assets from claims that may result in significant losses. The Company also contracts policies for risks related to mandatory insurance, pursuant to applicable law or in accordance with contractual obligations.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain civil liability insurance for their operations in Brazil and abroad, including coverage and conditions considered by the Managements of the Company and its subsidiaries to be adequate to inherent risks.

The coverage for pecuniary losses and loss of profits in Brazil and abroad totals R$31,393 million.

As described in note 37 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements, in the ordinary course of business, as follows:

Financial Guarantees (Commercial Aviation)

The Company provides guarantees in the financing of aircrafts. The guarantee is provided to the financing agent and, in the event the customer fails to repay the financing, the Company incurs the first losses, limited to a percentage of the previously agreed outstanding balance. These guarantees are not recorded in the books of the Company until a significant event occurs, such as reorganization or judicial recovery filing of a customer.

The Company provides residual value guarantees that usually assure, within a certain period, that the aircraft will have a market residual value based on its original sales price, subject to a limitation (cap). Upon exercise by a purchaser of its residual value guarantee, the Company bears the difference between the guaranteed residual value and the market value of the aircraft, if any. This monitoring is conducted monthly and if an exposure is identified, the Company establishes a provision.

The table below sets forth quantitative data regarding guarantees the Company renders to third parties. The maximum potential payment (off-balance sheet exposure) represents the worst-case scenario and does not necessarily reflect the results expected by the Company. Estimated proceeds from performance guarantees and underlying assets represent the anticipated values of assets we could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset our payments under guarantees.

The amount of revenue allocated to unmet or partially met performance obligations, as of December 31, 2019, totaled R$67.5 billion, of which R$53.8 billion must be realized in the next five years, based on Company’s estimates.

The Company recognizes revenue in its accounting record when (or to the extent that) the performance of an obligation is accomplished by transferring the promised good or service (i.e., an asset) promised to the customer. The asset is transferred when (or to the extent that) the customer obtains control over this asset.

10.7 – Comments on Off-balance Sheet Items

We present below information related to the items mentioned in Item 10.6 of this Company’s Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência), as well as Management’s evaluation on the effects of those off-balance sheet items in the Company’s financial statements.

(a)    How these items change or may change revenue, expenses, operating income (expense), financial expense or other items of the financial statements of the company

Backlog

Backlog comprises unmet or partially met performance obligations with customers, which will be recognized as revenue from sales in the next years. As of December 31, 2019, backlog totaled R$67.5 billion, R$53.8 billion of which is expected to be realized and recognized as revenue in the next five years, based on the Company’s estimates.

Financial Guarantees (Commercial Aviation)

The Company may provide residual value guarantees in the future related to aircrafts sold, which guarantees may be exercised at the end of the financing agreement entered into between a financial agent and the customer/operator of the aircrafts. At the time guarantees are granted, they are measured at fair value and quarterly reviewed to reflect any losses due to the fair value of these obligations, and are recorded as a financial expense of the Company because they are derivative instruments. Residual value guarantees may be exercised if the quoted market value is lower than the guaranteed fair value. Future fair value is estimated based on aircraft valuations issued by third parties, including information obtained from the sale or lease of similar aircrafts in the secondary market.

The Company may provide financial guarantees in the future related to aircrafts sold. The guarantee is granted at fair value; the respective amount is recorded as a deduction from sales and subsequently recognized as sales revenue during the term of the granted guarantee. The Company monitors the credit condition of the borrower and, if any event occurs affecting the credit condition of the borrower or negotiation, the exposure is recalculated taking into account the best estimate at the time in which the payments are probable to occur and may be reliably estimated; the exposure is then recognized as a provision against operating income (expense). When an agreement on the payment of these guarantees is executed, the estimated amounts are reclassified to trade accounts payable.

The exposure of the Company is reduced because, in order to benefit from the guarantee, the guaranteed party must return the underlying asset in specific conditions of use.

(b)    Nature and purpose of the transaction

For a description of the nature and purpose of each transaction, see item 10.6(a) of this Company’s Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

10.8 – Business Plan

(a)    Investments

(i)    Quantitative and Qualitative Description of Ongoing and Expected Investments

The main investments in the recent years were devoted to Commercial Aviation and Executive Aviation, as investments in the Defense & Security segment are generally paid by the Brazilian government, which requests the development of projects.

In the Commercial Aviation segment, we highlight the development of the E-2 jets, second generation of the E-Jets models, consisting of the E175-E2, E190-E2 and E195-E2 models, which were launched in June 2013. The first E190-E2 model, sold to a Norwegian customer, i.e., Wideroe, commenced operations in Abril 2018. In 2019, the E195-E2 model was certified and commenced operations in September with the first delivery to AerCap and Azul Linhas Aéreas. The first flight of the E-175 E2 model occurred in December 2019, progressing towards its certification campaign. The estimated investment amount for the E-Jets models is US$1.7 billion, net of contribution from partners.

In October 2018, the Company launched the new Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 executive jets, midsize and super-midsize jets that are more innovative and technologically advanced. The Praetor 600 was certified and commenced operations in the second quarter of 2019, followed by Praetor 500, which was certified and commenced operations in the third quarter of 2019. The Praetor 600 and 500 jets stem from the platform of Legacy 500/450 jets. In 2019, most of the investments of the Company was related to the development of the E2 commercial jet models. The table below sets forth the investments in research and development (R&D) and Capex of the Company, in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Based on its business plans and monitoring of the global technological scenario, Embraer sets forth a technological development plan to investigate and develop solutions for the main challenges faced by the Brazilian aeronautic industry in the coming years in connection with design, development, production and commercialization of aircraft, in order to remain competitive. These preparatory efforts to apply advanced technologies will make aircraft lighter, quieter, more comfortable and efficient in terms of consumption of energy and emissions, and will decrease the time required to design and manufacture aircraft, while optimizing resources.

In order to expand the reach of the results and minimize the risks of developments, the Company’s pre-competitive research and development strategy is structured as a program whose key competences are the ability not only to manage and execute multidisciplinary projects, but also maintain and coordinate a network of development partners, integrating several institutions (universities, research institutes, development institutions and companies).

In 2019, the Company’s total investments amounted to US$485.9 million, of which US$278.8 million was earmarked for product development, net of contribution from partners; US$49.4 million for research; and US$157.7 million for capital expenditures. It is important to mention that the capital expenditures amount described above excludes expenses related to equipment and property, plant and equipment, which totaled US$3.3 million, and primarily consist of programs in the Defense & Security segment. These expenses are taken into account based on the terms and conditions of the relevant agreements and, consequently, are not part of the estimated capital expenditures of the Company.

The above data was presented on a consolidated basis in our standardized financial statements. The Company’s investments are financed by its own resources and by third parties.

Committee’s Activities in 2019

On May 27, 2019, shareholders approved the amendment to the Bylaws of Embraer, including amendments to the composition of the Committee to comprise one external independent member.

The Committee met eight times between February 25 and December 6, 2019 in order to discuss matters under its authority, as mentioned below.

 

1.

System of Internal Controls and Risk Management

During 2019 the Committee evaluated, in meetings with the Risks and Internal Controls Management, aspects related to Embraer’s risk management and control.

The Committee, based on the information brought to its attention, registers as positive the efforts being made with the purpose to guarantee the effectiveness of the systems of internal control and risk management of the Company.

 

2.

External Audit

The Committee maintains a channel of periodic communication with the external auditors in order to discussion the results of projects and relevant accounting aspects, in a manner that allows its members to form their opinion on the Company’s financial statements. In 2019, the Committee met with the Company’s external auditors on five occasions.

The Committee evaluates the quantity and quality of the information provided by the independent auditors, Pricewaterhousecoopers, as satisfactory.

The Committee monitored the activities of the independent external audit with the goal of evaluating its independency, as well as the quality and adequacy of the services provided to the Company.

 

3.

Internal Audit

The Committee monitored the audit process carried out by the Internal Auditing Board of Executive Officers, by holding periodic meetings and receiving approval of the planning of its projects in respect to 2019 and of the monitoring of its execution.

The Committee positively evaluates the coverage and quality of the work carried out by the Internal Audit Board of Executive Officers. The results of these works, presented at the Committee meetings, did not bring to the Committee’s attention the existence of risks that could significantly affect the sustainability of the Company.

 

4.

Compliance

The Company monitored, in meetings with the Compliance Board of Executive Officers, the improvement and evolution of the Embraer Enhanced Compliance Program. This long-term project covers the re-examination of all the aspects of the compliance systems and, where appropriate, its improvement and complementation.

Among the compliance matters addressed by the Committee in 2019, in addition to the work of the external monitoring, the following matters are worth mentioning: the reevaluation of the compliance policies and procedures, the communication campaign and the reports from Company’s Helpline (through which we receive complaints) in the view of the reports for the last few years.

 

5.

FCPA Investigation

Since 2012 the Committee has been responsible for the coordination of the internal FCPA investigation, started in 2010, that resulted in the execution of agreements with North-american authorities (United States Department of Justice – DOJ and Securities and Exchange Commission – SEC) and also Brazilian authorities (Federal Prosecution Office – MPF and Brazilian Exchange Commission – CVM) in 2016. As part of the agreements, the Company agreed to appoint an external and independent monitor, for three years starting in the beginning of 2017, to accompany the fulfillment of the terms of the agreement.

Subsequent to the execution of the agreements, the Committee acted on the recommendation of external monitors for the DOJ, which resulted in the selection of one of the nominees, Attorney Alex Rene, from the law firm Ropes & Gray.

Accordingly, the monitoring term will end on April 22, 2020.

The consummation of the transaction remains subject to: (i) the approval of the European Commission; and (ii) the fulfillment of other conditions that are usual in transactions of this nature. During 2019, the Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee advised the Board of Directors regarding the subjects under its scope in relation to all stages of the transaction described above.

 

7.

Consolidated and Individual Financial Statements

The Committee analyzed the procedures that involve the process of preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company and their respective notes. To that effect, the Committee discussed the information regarding 2019 with PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Company’s officers, on a quarterly basis. The internal controls of the Company were thoroughly examined, as well as relevant accounting practices utilized by Embraer in the preparation of the financial statements. It has been verified that they are in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Annex IV – Management Compensation

(Pursuant to Section 12, item II, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09)

13.1 – Describe the compensation policy or practice for the board of directors, statutory and non-statutory board of executive officers, fiscal council, statutory committees and audit, risk, finance and compensation committees, addressing the following aspects:

(a)    Objectives of the compensation policy or practice, informing if the compensation policy was formally approved, the body responsible for its approval, date of approval and, if the company discloses the policy, the websites where the document is available2

The Company has a Management Compensation Policy approved by the Board of Directors on October 26, 2018, whose purpose is to attract, retain and recognize highly qualified professionals of the Company’s management. The Company also has an Executive Compensation Policy, whose most recent updated version was approved the Board of Directors on March 8, 2017, applicable to all executives of the Company.2

We monitor variations in the external environment and annually compare our compensation practices with those of reference markets and companies of equivalent size. We also aim to align the interests of management with those of our shareholders.

(b)    Composition of compensation, indicating:

i.  Description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each one of them

The members of the Board of Directors receive a monthly fixed compensation. The Company also offers life and health insurance, to the extent that the members of the Board of Directors bear the costs involved. Members of the Board of Directors do not receive any variable compensation. The objective of paying exclusively a fixed compensation to the members of the committees is to be aligned with best market practices.

The members of the advisory committees (Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee; Personnel and Governance Committee; and Strategy Committee) receive a specific monthly fixed compensation for participating in each committee (limited to two committees). The members of committees do not receive variable compensation. The objective of paying exclusively a fixed compensation to the members of the committees is to be aligned with best market practices.

The members of the Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Non-statutory Board of Executive Officers receive a monthly fixed compensation and a variable compensation (short- and long-term incentives). For the determination of compensation elements, the Company adopts an “internal parameter,” which is based on programs under the responsibility of each executive officer, and an “external parameter,” which is established by market research. The objective of paying fixed and variable compensation to the members of the Board of Executive Officers is to be aligned with the Company’s business and best market practices.

 

(a)

Fixed Monthly Compensation: annually determined based on market references. The Company adjusts these amounts as it deems necessary each year.

 

(b)

Direct and Indirect Benefits: life and health insurance and private social security equivalent to those offered to the Company’s employees.

 

(c)

Short-term Variable Compensation (“CP”): bonus paid in cash aimed at prioritizing the retention of executives and the alignment of their earnings with those of the shareholders. Accordingly, the higher the impact of the program, more weight is attributed to CP, which is paid in installments. Therefore, the amount of CP to be distributed among eligible executives will be calculated based on the assement on corporate financial performance target indicators set forth by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors, subject to the Company’s financial condition and the respective individual action programs, and its calculation varies directly based on the achievement of concrete targets.

Table of Contents
(d)

Long-term Incentives (“ILP”): long-term incentives include the “Stock Option Program of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Executive Officers and Employees” (the “Stock Option Plan”) and the “Long-term Incentive Plan for Executives of Embraer” (the “Phantom Shares Plan”). The main objectives of the general conditions of the long-term incentive adopted by the Company are: (a) retaining and attracting highly qualified personnel; and (b) ensuring individuals who can effectively contribute to the best performance of the Company and its securities the right to share the profits derived from their contribution. Moreover, these long-term incentives intend to ensure the continuity of the management of the Company and align the interests of executive officers with those of the shareholders of the Company.

The ILP amounts are determined based on market references, subject to the conditions set forth in the respective instruments, which are better described in item 13.4 of the Company’s Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

Additionally, in 2018, the Board of Directors established an extraordinary award applicable to executives, including Statutory Officers, whose target was the achievement of results set forth in increased efficiency and cost reduction programs, internally known as the Passion for Excellence Program.

The members of the Fiscal Council receive a fixed monthly salary, whose annual amount is approved at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting and is in accordance with the limits set forth in paragraph 3 of section 162 of Law No. 6,404 of December 15, 1976. No direct or indirect benefits are currently offered to the members of the Fiscal Council. The amounts detailed below in the total compensation of the Fiscal Council refer to benefits granted in periods prior to their cancellation.

ii.  The proportion of each element in total compensation

In accordance with the structure of the compensation policy of the Company, the proportion of each element in total compensation may vary based on the results of the Company.

iii.  Calculation and adjustment method for each of the compensation elements

The determination of the compensation of the members of the Board of Executive Officers, Board of Directors and each member of its Committees on a market basis takes into account the complexity, sophistication and challenges that are inherent to the Company’s business, subject to the annual global compensation of members of management approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

The fixed compensation of members of the Board of Directors is periodically reviewed based on market research and adjusted based on the global compensation amount that was approved by the Company’s shareholders for each year.

The fixed amounts paid to the members of advisory committees (Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee, Personnel and Governance Committee and Strategy Committee) are periodically reviewed based on market research and adjusted based on the global compensation amount that was approved by the Company’s shareholders for each year.

In order to define the market surveyed, publicly-traded public sector companies with good governance practices are consulted, and the statistical metrics using P25 to P90 averages are used as a reference for comparative studies in order to support the decisions regarding the compensation of top executives.

Note: Statistical metrics are used to identify and compare salaries paid by the Company and any shifts from the salaries paid in the market. P25 to P90 averages are some of the references used to indicate a position within the researched sample. For example, P25 is the value that is within 25% of the sample and P90 is the value that is within 90% of the sample.

The total compensation of the Statutory Board of Executive Officers consists of three components, one of which is fixed and two are variable, one is short-term and the other is long-term, as set forth below:

RT = RF + CP + ILP

where:

RT= Total compensation

RF = fixed compensation (salary or fees) established based on the duties and responsibilities that are inherent to the exercise of the function

CP= short-term variable compensation (granted annually and whose amounts are determined based on the achievement of pre-established targets)

ILP = long-term incentive that reflects the appreciation of the Company’s shares on the stock exchange and, consequently, increase the returns for the shareholders

Table of Contents

Total compensation amounts (RT) must be planned annually, based on market research and take into account the economic and financial condition of the Company. Emphasis must be given on the retention of executives and the alignment of their gains with the gains of the shareholders. Accordingly, the higher the impact of the program, more weight must be attributed to the variable compensation – CP and ILP, reflecting the profitability and appreciation of the Company, respectively. ILP will only be a reference for the current fiscal year and vesting will occur on a future date, in accordance with the conditions set forth in the Phantom Shares Plan and Stock Option Plan.

The fixed and variable compensations of each body do not follow a specific calculation and adjustment method, but are based on the criteria described above.

iv.  Reasons that justify the composition of compensation

Board of Directors and Advisory Committees

The main objective is to attract members with good reputations and appropriate profiles, compensating them in a manner compatible with the market, and, thus providing the necessary conditions to better perform their functions. Benchmark of compensation is obtained by specialized research, conducted with companies similar in size to Embraer.

Note: Companies of similar size are those that are comparable in terms of area of operations, number of employees, revenue, business segment, processes for the development of products or production, global operations, etc.

Statutory Board of Executive Officers

Total compensation amounts (RT) are planned annually based on market research with companies whose size, complexity and challenges are equivalent to those of Embraer. Through this research, we seek to determine not only the amounts practiced in the market, but also the proportionality of its components (Fixed and Variable Compensation, Short- and Long-term incentives). The Company favors the retention of its executives and aims to maintain and attract highly-qualified executive officers and key qualified personnel, aligning their interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. Additionally, the objective is to ensure that the executives who effectively contribute to the best performance of the Company and its securities have a share in the profits derived from their contribution.

Fiscal Council

The monthly compensation of the Fiscal Council, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Section 162 of Law No. 6,404/76, is established in an amount equivalent to at least 10% of the average monthly compensation of each Executive Officer of the Company, excluding benefits, representation funds and profit sharing.

v.  Existence of unpaid members and reasons for this fact

No members of the Board of Directors, advisory committees, Board of Executive Officers or Fiscal Council are unpaid for the titles they hold in the Company.

c.  Main performance indicators that are taken into account to determine each element of compensation

The performance indicators that are taken into account to determine the short-term variable compensation are: (i) annual assessment of the “Action Plan,” an instrument entered into with each statutory and non-statutory officer every year, setting forth the results intended by the Company for that year and the actions planned for each one in order to achieve these results; and (ii) global performance result of the Company.

Accordingly, the CP and ILP compensations vary based on the economic results and the operating result of the Company. CP is affected by the assessment of the individual Action Plans (PA), ILP is related to the increase in value of the Company’s shares and performance targets set forth in the Plan.

67


Table of Contents

The amount of short-term incentive to be effectively payed to executives in each fiscal year is tied to the respective individual Action Plans and its assessment varies directly based on the achievement of the results set forth therein.

The performance indicator set forth in the Action Plan is specific for each executive based on his or her functions, for example: for an officer from the business area, the performance indicator may be “achieved sales” and net revenue; while, the performance indicator for an officer from the finance area may encompass financial indicators (such as net revenue, generation of cash flow from operations, commercial and administrative expenses); and finally, the performance indicator for an officer from the technical area may be products developed, etc.

The content of the Action Plan is reviewed annually in the business planning cycle and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Accordingly, every year, each executive is assessed based on the achievement of his or her specific Action Plan and his or her short-term variable compensation is influenced by that result.

d.  Explain how the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators

The short- and long-term variable compensation of all Statutory and Non-Statutory Executive Officers is determined by individual performance indicators, set forth annually in their Action Plans, and by evaluation factors of the Company. Therefore, the short- and long-term variable compensation is directly tied to the evolution of those performance indicators.

e.  Explain how the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the interests of the issuer in the short-, medium- and long-term

The objective of Embraer’s Human Resources Policy is to transmit the Company’s thinking and posture in the adoption of compensation practices that are compatible with the market in order to attract, retain and recognize professionals, aligning individual objectives with corporate objectives, as well as technical requirements and financial conditions, in a system of partnership and sharing of the generated wealth, encouraging all to achieve and surpass previously agreed results.

Embraer aims to maintain a competitive compensation for its management compared to the market in order to retain and attract management members that allow it to achieve its short-, medium- and long-term objectives.

A significant portion of the short-term variable compensation depends directly on the achievement of actual targets by professionals, as detailed in item 13.1(c) of the Company’s Annual Report (Formulário de Referência). In turn, the remaining portion results from a global assessment of the performance of each professional, in view of his or her strategic position in the Company and the practices of companies with similar characteristics in the market. The payment of the short-term variable compensation is also tied to the performance of the Company, assuming the existence of profit in the fiscal year. Accordingly, compensation is tied to the retention of professionals and the achievement of positive results by the Company, which shows the alignment of interests.

f.  Existence of compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries, controlled companies or parent companies

Not applicable, as subsidiaries and controlled companies do not pay compensation to members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Executive Officers or the Fiscal Council of Embraer.

g.  Existence of any compensation or benefit tied to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the sale of corporate control of the company

There has been no corporate event related to the sale of control of the company. However, within the scope of the business combination with Boeing, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the granting of bonus and incentives for the retention of executives of the Company, including some Statutory Officers, and the respective payments are subject to the closing of the referred business combination with Boeing, and included in the global budget to be approved by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in 2020.

13.4 – Stock-based compensation plan for the board of directors and statutory board of executive officers

The Company currently has two stock-based compensation plans in place, namely, the “Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Executive Officers and Employees,” approved on April 19, 2010 (the “Stock Option Plan”), and the “Long-term Incentive Plan for Executives of Embraer,” approved on February 25, 2014 (the “Phantom Shares Plan”).

Stock Option Plan

a.    Terms and general conditions

The executive officers and employees of the Company and the executive officers (or individuals holding equivalent titles) and employees of the Company’s subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is managed by the Board of Directors, duly advised by its Personnel and Governance Committee in all stages.

The other terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan are described in the items below.

b.    Main objectives of the plan

The objectives of the Stock Option Plan are to: (i) retain and attract highly qualified personnel for the Company, identified as key to the future and perpetuity of the Company; and (ii) ensure the individuals who effectively contribute to the best performance of the Company and its securities the right to share the profits derived from their contribution. Additionally, we also intend to ensure the continuity of the management of the Company and its subsidiaries and align the interests of executive officers and key personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries with those of the shareholders of the Company. Once these objectives are achieved, the Stock Option Plan will have contributed to the constant improvement of the results of the Company, providing an increasing return to its shareholders.

c.    How the plan contributes to these objectives

The attractiveness of the Stock Option Plan as a form of variable compensation is linked to the increase of the value of the Company’s shares over time. This type of results-based compensation attracts and retains professionals with the profile desired by the Company, as it ensures these professionals the possibility to share the positive results they helped to achieve. Accordingly, in general, to the extent to which each participant of the Stock Option Plan may contribute to and benefit from the Company’s earnings, the Stock Option Plan aligns the interests of participants with the interests of shareholders, who seek sustainable results in the short-, medium- and long- term.

 

This is a free translation of the manual and management proposal for the Embraer’s shareholders’ meetings required pursuant to Brazilian laws. This is not, and shall not be read as, proxy statement compliant with U.S. laws. If there is any inconsistency or ambiguity between the English version and the Portuguese version of this manual and management proposal, the Portuguese version shall prevail.

d.    How the plan fits within the compensation policy of the company

The Stock Option Plan fits within the compensation policy of the Company as part of a potential long-term incentive, tied to the increase of the value of the Company’s shares at the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), or B3.

e.    How the plan aligns the interests of management with the interests of the company in the short-, medium- and long-term

The Stock Option Plan aligns long-term interests, as short-term interests are met by other elements of compensation. Long-term alignment occurs as a result of the nature of the incentive itself: if shares increase in value, shareholders and participants benefit; if shares do not increase in value, shareholders and participants do not benefit. Additionally, the Stock Option Plan also aligns interests by potentially increasing the retention of participants in the Company or even attracting external personnel for hiring.

f.    Maximum number of shares covered

Under the terms of the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized to grant options to purchase of up to 1.5% of the Company’s common shares in each fiscal year or, in the event of capital increase, up to 5% out of the one billion shares cap set forth in Section 7 of the Bylaws.

h.    Vesting conditions of the options

Participants in the plan will receive two classes of Virtual Shares, 50% in the form of “Virtual Restricted Shares” and 50% in the form of “Virtual Performance Shares.”

The other terms and conditions of the Phantom Shares Plan are described in the items below.

b.    Main objectives of the plan

e.    How the plan aligns the interests of management with the interests of the company in the short-, medium- and long-term

The Phantom Shares Plan integrates the long-term element of the compensation of the Company, as the incentive is paid within a period of three to five years. Moreover, the Participants only vest in the Phantom Shares Plan if the conditions precedent set forth in item “j” below are met, which conditions involve the achievement of the long-term targets of the Company. Another element that aligns long-term interests is tying Phantom Shares Plan amounts to the market value of the shares of the Company, as the amount to be paid is obtained upon the conversion of the Virtual Shares into the official currency of Brazil, or Brazilian Reais (R$), based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the Company’s shares EMBR3 on B3 in the last ten trading days prior to the 15th day of the anniversary months described in item “j” below.

f.    Maximum number of shares covered

Not applicable, as the Phantom Shares Plan does not provide for the effective delivery of shares of the Company to participants.

g.    Maximum number of options to be granted

Not applicable. No stock options are granted under the Phantom Shares Plan.

h.    Vesting conditions

Not applicable. Once assessed, the amount payable to executives under the Phantom Shares Plan is paid in cash.

i.    Criteria to determine the purchase or exercise price

Not applicable.

j.    Criteria to determine the exercise period

Virtual Restricted Shares: the Participant is entitled to receive the amount corresponding to the Virtual Restricted Shares in the following proportions: (i) 33% after the third anniversary of the Grant Date; (ii) 33% after the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date; and (iii) 34% after the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date. By scheduling the receipt of the incentive, the Company seeks to ensure that Participants work to obtain medium- and long-term results for the Company.

Virtual Performance Shares: the Participant is entitled to receive the amount corresponding to a certain percentage of his or her Virtual Performance Shares after the third anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the achievement of the corporate performance targets set forth by the Company, which are, since 2017, associated to the corporate cost reduction project, with actions that are annually reviewed by the Board of Executive Officers and approved by the Board of Directors. The percentage of achievement of targets may vary from 85% to 135%, and the number of Virtual Shares of the Participant is prorated according to these percentages. If the achievement of targets is below 85% in the assessment period, the Participant is not entitled to any payment regarding the granted Virtual Performance Shares.

The maximum payment term of this benefit is consistent with the long-term objectives mentioned in items “b” and “c” above.

k.    Form of settlement

The Phantom Shares Plan will be settled in cash.

l.    Restrictions on the transfer of shares
