b. compensation elements, indicating:

 

i. description of the elements of the compensation and the purposes of each of them

 

Pursuant to article 15, paragraph 1, of Company’s Bylaws, the global amount of the Company’s compensation is fixed annually by the Annual General Meeting, the compensation being distributed among the bodies by the Board of Directors.

 

The elements of the compensation of these bodies are described below:

 

a) Board of Directors

 

The compensation of the members of the Board of Directors is divided into: (i) a fixed compensation that is in line with market average; and (ii) a variable compensation, considering the sustainable growth of the Company and its long-term businesses, designed to stimulate and reward significant accomplishments by means of participation on the results. The Company also has a Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”) and a Share-Based Payment Plan (“Stock Plan” and, together with the Option Plan, “Plans”), for more information see item 13.4 of this Reference Form. Additionally, certain members of the Board of Directors also participate in a private pension fund to which the Company also makes partial contributions, as described in item 13.10 of this Reference Form.

 

b) Board of Officers

 

Executive Officers have their compensation divided into fixed and variable components, provided that the base pay (the fixed component) is in line with market average, while the main focus is on the variable compensation (participation on the results) and on the long-term incentives. The members of the Board of Directors are also entitled to stock and/or options granted under the Plans, and, potentially, in the case of executives identified to have high potential in the long term, the granting of Share Appreciation Rights (as defined in item 13.4 below). The goal is to stimulate the alignment of interests for long-term value generation.

 

The Executive Officers are entitled to the benefits provided for in the benefits policy of the Company, pursuant to item 14.3(2) of the Company’s Reference Form. Such benefits include medical, dental, educational and social assistance to executive officers and their dependents, free of costs or at a reduced cost. In addition, certain executive officers participate in a private pension plan to which the Company makes partial contributions, as described in item 13.10 of this Reference Form.


 

 

c) Fiscal Council

 

The members of the Fiscal Council receive a fixed compensation that corresponds, at least, to the legal minimum resolved by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The compensation paid to each member should not be lower than ten percent of the compensation assigned to each Executive Officer, considering the average amount received by the Executive Officers, excluding any benefits, representation allowances and participation on the results. The compensation of the alternate members is equivalent to 50% of the compensation of the effective members. Additionally, the members of the Fiscal Council shall be mandatorily reimbursed for transportation and lodging expenses, which may be necessary to perform their functions. The members of the Fiscal Council are not entitled to receive variable compensation.

 

d) Committees

 

All members of the Related Parties and Antitrust Conducts Committee and the members of the Operations, Finance and Compensation Committee that are part of the Board of Directors of the Company do not receive any specific compensation for their activities in those Committees. Members, who do not meet this condition, receive annual fixed fees aligned with the market average and annually updated based on the IPCA variation and are not entitled to receive variable compensation. Additionally, all members of the Committees shall be mandatorily reimbursed for transportation and lodging expenses, which may be necessary to perform their functions.

 The proportion of the elements of compensation of the Board of Directors and the Board of Officers described above tends to repeat, to a greater or lesser degree, in years when the Company meets the eligible targets for distribution of variable compensation.

 

Variable compensation is determined according to the performance verified in relation to pre-established targets. Consequently, in case the minimum targets established are not fulfilled, no variable compensation will be due.

 

The compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council is 100% fixed, of which 83.33% corresponds to fees and 16.67% corresponds to charges on remuneration (percentages applicable to the years 2019, 2018, and 2017) and are reimbursed for their travels and lodging expenses required for the performance of their duties.

 

The members of the Committees that are not part of the Company’s Board of Directors have 100% of their compensation composed of annual fixed fees and are reimbursed for their travels and lodging expenses required for the performance of their duties.

 

iii. methodology for calculation and restatement of each of the compensation elements

 

The overall compensation of the management, as approved by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, is restated annually based on a market research carried out according to the terms indicated in sub-item (h) (ii) below and periodically assessed by the Company’s People & Management area, so as to secure that the amounts paid are sufficient to meet the specific objectives in relation to the market.

 

The variable compensation, when paid in cash, is calculated as a multiple of fixed compensation, provided that the target conferred on the manager and the Company have been achieved.

 

Regarding the determination of the amount of stock options to be granted under the Option Plan, please refer to items 13.4 and 13.8 below. For a description of the determination of the benefit resulting from Share Appreciation Rights, please refer to item 13.4 below. For a description related to the Stock Plan, please refer to item 13.4 below.

 

Both for the purpose of compensation and for the purpose of granting stock / options are also taken into account the achievement of annual targets and other results delivered in the year, meritocracy criteria and the seniority level of the executive.

 

Please refer to sub-item “h” below for further information.

 

iv. reasons behind the compensation elements

 

Compensation of the management is defined to encourage its members to meet short and long-term results for the Company. On this regard, the Company secures a fixed compensation based on market research, however, encouraging the achievement of expressive results to obtain a variable compensation above market average. Therefore, Company’s targets must be challenging but achievable.

 

The possibility of granting options and shares encourages the blending of interests of the shareholders and the management over the long-term, upon the free or onerous receipt, as the case may be, of the Company’s shares by its management, which shares shall be subject to restrictions on sale or delivery, contingent upon continued employment with the Company for a certain period of time. Also, additional shares may be granted depending on the reinvestment level of the variable compensation.

 

Finally, the Company has decided to adopt, for certain executives deemed strategic and with high performance potential, the granting of Share Appreciation Rights, enabling such participants to receive cash bonus based on the value of the shares of the Company. The granting of Share Appreciation Rights, however, is contingent upon the continued employment of executives with Company for a long or very long term, since the amounts have a lock-up period of five or ten years, then encouraging the retaining of strategic talent and generating value for shareholders in the long term.

 


 

In relation to the Fiscal Council and the Committees, the intention is to secure compensation compatible with the limits defined in applicable legislation, ensuring that its members are duly rewarded to perform their duties.

 

v. the existence of members who do not receive compensation and the reason for that

 

In addition to the alternate members, there are five members of the Board of Directors that do not receive compensation from the Company. Said members are also part of the management of the Parent Company (Anheuser-Busch InBev S.A./N.V - “ABI”), which bears payment of compensations to these members.

 

c. key performance indicators taken into account for determining each compensation element:

 

The key performance indicators for purposes of defining the variable compensation based on the achievement of goals either for the Company or its management are: EBITDA, cash flow and net revenues, in addition to other specific indicators for the various departments of the Company, according to their respective functions and competencies.

 

d. how is the compensation structured to reflect the progress of performance indicators:

 

The variable compensation (profit sharing) is defined according to the following basis: (i) below a certain level of target achievement, no variable compensation shall be due, but, on the other hand, outstanding accomplishments of targets must be compensated with participation on the results comparable to or even higher than top levels in the market; and (ii) variable compensation will only be granted if both the targets of the Company and those targets of the manager are achieved.

 

The managers have the possibility to reinvest their variable compensation in the Company, by using said compensation, in total or in part, for the exercise of the stock option granted within the Option Plan. In this event, the Company may grant to said executives additional shares or options, depending on the reinvestment level of their variable compensation.

 

For high potential executives, the Company also adopts a variable pay practice defined as Share Appreciation Rights. According to such practice, the executives receive, after vesting periods varying between five and ten years, a value per share corresponding to the closing price of shares or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) issued by the Company at B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) or at the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), as applicable, on the trading session immediately before the respective vesting periods.

 

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

 

The fixed compensation is a compensation based on market research, but as the segment cycle in which the Company operates in is the segment of medium and long term, the alignment of the compensation to the interests of the Company is verified by means of the granting of a substantial portion of compensation referred to those periods.

 

The medium-term income is aligned with the compensation policy of the Company as to the payment of the profit sharing. In this case, the income of the Company and the results of its management during the year will affect the amount to be assigned as variable pay.

 

Additionally, the Option Plan requires a commitment of funds over the long-term, by virtue of the vesting term, the restriction on sale applicable to the corresponding shares or the delivery of stock options or shares being contingent upon the executive continued employment with the Company.

 

The Stock Plan reinforces the need for a long-term commitment, once the delivery of the Company’s shares is contingent upon the executive continued employment with the Company and the lapse of a vesting period.

 

Share Appreciation Rights occasionally granted to elected high potential executives by the Company, align the long-term and very long-term interests by means of the possibility of receiving, after the vesting periods of five or ten years, the amount corresponding to the appreciation of the shares issued by the Company, to encourage the retaining of talent as well as such appreciation of shares.


 

 

As such, it is understood that the compensation policy of the Company is totally aligned with the monitoring of its performance and, therefore, reaffirms the sharing of the risk and profits among the Company’s managers.

 

f. existence of compensation borne by direct or indirect subsidiaries or controlling companies:

 

On November 25, 2008, some Company managers received stock options of shares issued by ABI, the controlling shareholder of the Company, totaling approximately five million options, with approximately one million options for members of the Board of Officers, at the time, and approximately 4 million for members of the Board of Directors, at the time. Each of such options entitles the acquisition of one common share issued by ABI. One half of those options became exercisable on January 1st, 2014 and the other half became on January 1st, 2019. In both cases the options may be exercised within five years at an exercise price of €10.32, corresponding to the market price of the shares of ABI on the date the options were granted. Moreover, the exercise of such options also depended on ABI’s net debt to EBITDA ratio to fall below 2.5 before December 31, 2013, which has been achieved. In 2016, there was a grant of restricted shares issued by ABI, in accordance with the applicable lock-up terms, in a total amount of approximately one hundred and seven thousand restricted shares, of which approximately two thousand and five hundred for members of the Board of Executive Officers and one hundred and four thousand restricted shares to the members of the Board of Directors.

 

In 2017, certain members of the Board of Directors received 2.1 million in stock options relating to shares issued by ABI and certain members of the Board of Officers received 2.2 million in stock options relating to shares issued by ABI, being 3.75 million in stock option conditional on achieving CAGR EBITDA of 7% in the fifth year. In case the condition is not met, a new evaluation will be made for the sixth year and later for the seventh year. The remaining stock options do not have a performance condition and have a vesting term of 5 years. In addition, in 2017, there was a concession of restricted shares issued by ABI in the total amount of 0.4 million shares with a vesting term of 5 years

 

In 2018, certain members of the Board of Directors received 2.3 million in ABI options and certain members of the Board of Officers received 0.01 million in ABI options, being 1.7 million in options that are conditional on achieving CAGR EBITDA of 7% in the fifth year. In the case the condition is not met, a new evaluation will be made for the sixth year and later for the seventh year. The remaining stock options do not have a performance condition and have a vesting term of 5 years. In addition, in 2018, there was a concession of restricted shares issued by ABI in a total of 0.2 million shares with vesting term of 5 years.

 

In 2019, certain members of the Board of Directors received 0.5 million in ABI options and no member of the Board of Officers received ABI options. The options have a vesting term of 5 years. In addition, in 2019, there was a concession of restricted shares issued by ABI in a total of 0.4 million shares with vesting term of 5 years.

 

g. existence of any compensation or benefit connected to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the sale of corporate control of the Company:

 

Not applicable once there is no compensation or benefit connected to the occurrence of any corporate event.

 

h. practices and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to define the individual compensation of the Board of Directors and Board of Officers, appointing:

 

i. the bodies and committees of the issuer that participate in the decision-making process, identifying the form in which they participate

 

The following bodies participate in the decision-making process for the definition of the individual compensation of the Board of Directors and the Board of Officers of the Company: the Operations, Finance and Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. The Compensation, Financial and Operation Committee is responsible for providing an opinion on the management’s proposal to be assessed by the Board of Directors concerning the definition of the compensation policy for the high-performance management and employees of the Company, including their individual compensation packages, in order to the ensure that the beneficiaries have the proper compensation and incentives to reach an exceptional and sustainable performance. On the other hand, the Board of Directors is responsible for deciding on the recommendation presented by the Operations, Finance and Compensation Committee, as well as defining the criteria for the granting of stock / options, compensation and benefits (indirect benefits, participation on the results etc.) of the top management and employees (that is, the managers or holders of equivalent officer positions) of the Company.


 

 

ii. criteria and methodology used to establish the individual compensation, appointing if studies were used to verify the market practices and, if yes, the comparison criteria and scope of said studies

 

The fixed and variable individual compensation of the members of the Board of Directors was defined based on a remuneration survey conducted with large public companies and is updated annually based on the IPCA variation until the Board of Directors deems it necessary to engage at a new compensation survey. All directors receive the same remuneration, being noted that (i) the directors compensated by the controlling shareholder and the alternates do not receive any fees from the Company; and (ii) the co-chairman of the Board of Directors compensated by the Company has different compensation due to his unique experience in the sector in which the Company operates, his greatest attributions and his longer time of dedication.

 

The fixed and variable individual compensation of the members of the Board of Officers is defined based on an annual remuneration survey, using the group of companies classified as “non-durable consumer goods” in the comparison. For the definition of fees, the monthly amount paid by the median of the companies involved in the survey is used as reference. If there is a positive variation of this indicator in relation to the previous year, the reference of the previous year is updated. After updating the market benchmark for each position level, the fees are set by varying according to meritocracy criteria and the seniority level of the executive. Without prejudice to the evaluation by the Operations, Finance and Compensation Committee and by the Board of Directors, as indicated in item (i) above, the fees of the Board of Officers are analyzed annually by the Company’s People & Management area, which may make adjustment recommendations, if necessary. Any recommendations need to be approved by the CEO to be implemented.

 

iii. the frequency and method in which the Board of Directors assesses the adequacy of the compensation policy of the issuer

 

Annually, the Operations, Finance and Compensation Committee evaluates the retention of the Company’s talents, which includes the analysis of the need to adapt the compensation practices adopted by the Company. If this Committee deems it necessary, it is proposed to the Board of Directors to adjust these practices. In addition, the goals of executives, whose achievement is decisive in the determination of the amount to be paid by the Company as variable compensation and the amount of stock options to be granted are reviewed and validated by the Board of Directors annually.

13.4. Regarding the share-based compensation plan applicable to the Board of Directors and Board of Officers in force for the last fiscal year and forecasted for current fiscal year

 

a. general terms and conditions:

 

Option Plan

 

The Option Plan was approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company held on July 30, 2013 and provides for the general conditions applicable to the granting of options, the criteria to determine its exercise price, its general terms and conditions, and the restrictions on the transfer of shares acquired by its exercise.

 

The Option Plan is managed by the Board of Directors which grants options establishing the specific terms and conditions applicable to each grant through stock option programs, such as the identification of the beneficiaries, the options’ exercise price, any restrictions to the acquired shares, the vesting periods and the option exercise periods and rules applicable to the termination of the beneficiary’s employment contract, and it may also establish targets related to the performance of the Company. The Board of Directors may further define specific rules applicable to beneficiaries of the Company who have been transferred to other countries, including to the Company’s controlling companies its subsidiaries.

 

Under the Option Plan, senior employees and management of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (beneficiaries) are eligible to receive stock options of the Company or ADR based in shares issued by the Company, in the event the beneficiaries do not live in Brazil. Currently, approximately 580 people (including managers and employees) hold stock options for shares of the Company, taking all the programs of the Option Plan the together.

 

Share Appreciation Right

 

The Company also received the long-term incentive, approved by the Board of Directors of Companhia de Bebidas das Américas – Ambev on August 26, 2011, granted to some executives identified as high potential by the Company (and such incentive is denominated “Share Appreciation Rights”). Such incentive is beyond the scope of the Option Plan, since it does not involve settlement by the granting or acquisition of shares. Within the scope of the Share Appreciation Rights program, each beneficiary will receive two separate lots of Share Appreciation Rights – (lot A and lot B), as the case may be, in which each Share Appreciation Right will correspond to a share or ADR, as the case may be, subject to lock-up periods of five and ten years, respectively as of the date of their granting. Once such five or ten-year term has elapsed, as applicable, the beneficiary who remains at the Company or in any entity of its group will receive in funds immediately available the amount in Brazilian Reais corresponding to the closing price of shares or ADRs of the Company at B3 or NYSE, respectively, at the trading session immediately before the end of such lock-up terms. The Share Appreciation Rights granted  do not concern the delivery, subscription or acquisition of shares or ADRs, and, therefore, will not ascribe to the beneficiary the condition of shareholder of the Company or to any right or prerogative as a result of such condition. The benefits ascribed to the granting of Share Appreciation Rights shall be considered as variable compensation.

 

Stock Plan

 

The Company implemented a Stock Plan, approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 29, 2016, under which certain employees and members of the management of the Company or its subsidiaries, direct or indirect, are eligible to receive shares of the Company including in the form of ADRs, in the event of persons living outside Brazil. The shares that are subject to the Stock Plan are designated “Restricted Shares”.

 

The Board of Directors has broad powers of organization and management of the Stock Plan, in accordance with its general terms and conditions, and must establish the terms and conditions applicable to each Restricted Shares program (Share-Based Payment Program - “Stock Programs”), which, for its turn, sets the terms and conditions specific to the participants of that program, including the conditions and procedures for transferring the Restricted Shares and rules applicable in case of termination of the employment contract.

 


 

Under the Stock Plan, the participants may receive up to 0.3% of shares corresponding to the Company’s capital stock, and the delivery of the Restricted Shares is exempt from financial consideration.

 

b. main purposes of the Plan:

 

The main purposes of the  Plan are: (a) to encourage the expansion, the success and the achievement of Company’s corporate purposes and the interests of its shareholders, allowing executives and senior employees to be owners of shares of the Company, in the terms of the Plans, encouraging this way their integration with the Company; and (b) enabling the Company to obtain and maintain, effectively, the services of its executives and senior employees by offering them the possibility of becoming shareholders of the Company, in the terms of the Plans.

 

The purposes of the Share Appreciation Right incentive are the same described above, aiming at encouraging the alignment of interests for the generation of value in the long term, except for the fact that there is no delivery of shares.

 

c. how does these plans contribute to these objectives:

 

The possibility of acquiring or receiving shares issued by the Company under advantageous conditions provided for in the Plans allows the introduction of considerable incentives for the employees and management of the Company to commit to create value over the long term, seeking the future appreciation of shares. In addition, it allows the employees and the managers of the Company to join the interests of the shareholders, the corporate purposes and the growth plans of the Company, maximizing their results. Also, the adopted model expects to be efficient as a mechanism of retention of the key employees and managers due to, mainly, the sharing of the appreciation of the Company’s shares.

 

d. how does the Plan fit into the Company compensation policy:

 

The Plans and the incentive of the Share Appreciation Rights encourage the direct commitment of the respective beneficiaries or participants, as the case may be, with the performance of the Company in the medium and long term, once the most substantial portion of asset increase is connected to said performance.

 

In addition, the Option Plan contains elements that encourage the commitment of beneficiaries by giving them the option to allocate their own funds to purchase shares. Additionally, the Option Plans and the Share Appreciation Rights incentive stimulate the continued employment of executives that the Company deems highly strategic to its business and activities, upon the granting of an attractive variable compensation additional in the long or very long term.

 

e. how does the Plan aligns the interests of the management with those of the Company in the short, medium and long term:

 

The options granted under the Option Plan provide for mechanisms that enable lining up the interests of the management in different time horizons. In the short term, the managers participating in the Option Plan are encouraged to contribute to high earnings of the Company, since, at the end of the respective grace periods, when the beneficiaries become owners of the shares of the Company, they will also have the right to receive dividends. Regarding the medium and long term, the models used by the Company to grant stock options allow the allocation of a percentage of the beneficiary’s share on the results to the immediate exercise of the options which will give right to shares that will be subject to restrictions on transfer and delivery contingent upon continued employment of the beneficiary with the Company. For this reason, beneficiaries are expected to have their interests aligned with expectations of appreciation of the shares of the Company in the medium and long term, once the relevant shares will be subject to a lock-up, that is, a period during which they cannot be transferred (please refer to item “l” below). In addition, there are granting models in which the options granted to the beneficiaries are subject to a vesting period during which such shares may not be exercised and, therefore, convertible into shares. Therefore, the granting of options with said characteristics serves as a powerful incentive to align the interests of employees with those of the management of the Company in the long term, due to the possibility of expressive gains in the event of appreciation of the stocks of the Company.

 


 

In the case of the Share Appreciation Rights incentive, grants are essentially designed to align interests in the long and very long term. Any amounts may only be paid by the Company to the beneficiary after the applicable lock-up period of five or ten years, then encouraging a sustainable value generation over the time, and primarily encouraging continued employment of executives deemed strategic or of high potential in relation to the Company’s long-term targets for a term of two to ten years (depending on the program).

 

The same logic is applicable to the Stock Plan, programs of which the participants only receive the shares after long vesting periods and, further, conditioned to the continuance of the participant in the Company.

 

f. maximum number of shares covered:

 

The Option Plan does not provide for a maximum number of options potentially covered by the plan. Nevertheless, the Stock Plan provides for that the global amount of shares to be granted to employees and managers of the Company is up to 0.3% of shares representing the Company’s capital stock.

 

On December 31, 2019, the maximum number of shares covered by options not yet exercised, in relation to the members of the Board of Officers and the Board of Directors, totaled 20,091,273 common shares issued by the Company, already including the effects of the dilution resulting from the exercise of all options under all programs within the scope of the outstanding Option Plan.

 

g. maximum number of options to be granted:

 

The Option Plan does not provide the maximum number of options potentially covered by the plan, it being incumbent upon the Board of Directors to establish the options upon the approval of each program.

 

Considering that each option ensures to the beneficiary the right to acquire a common share of the Company, the quantity of granted options is connected to the dilution limit described in the second paragraph of item “f” above”.  On December 31, 2019, this amount corresponds, in relation to the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Officers, to 20,091,273 options within the scope of all programs in the Option Plan.

 

This item does not apply to the Stock Plan and the Share Appreciation Rights incentive.

 

h. conditions to acquire shares:

 

In relation to the last five fiscal years and in relation to the current fiscal year, in the Company’s programs named Programs 2014.1, 2014.2, 2014.3, 2015.1, 2015.2, 2015.3, 2016.1, 2016.2 e, 2016.3, 2017.1, 2017.2, 2017.4, 2018.1, 2018.2, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.2, 2019.4, 2019.5 and 2020.1, all within the Scope of the Option Plan, two types of grant were awarded, as follows: (i) in one type of grant,, the exercise price of the options must be paid on demand (or within five business days), although the delivery of a substantial part of the shares acquired is contingent upon continued employment of the beneficiary with the Company for a term of two to ten  years (depending on the program) as of the exercise date; and (ii) in the other type of grant, a beneficiary may only exercise his/her options after a vesting period of five years, upon payment of exercise price on demand, in consideration for the delivery of shares. Under this new model the exercise of options is not conditioned to meeting the Company’s performance targets.

 

The Share Appreciation Rights incentive does not involve exactly the acquisition of shares. The cash payment by the Company to the beneficiary of the amounts determined based on market prices of shares or ADRs issued by the Company is subject to continued employment with the Company for a term of five years for lot A and ten years for lot B, and it is not contingent upon the Company meeting performance targets.

 

In the Programs 2018.1, 2018.3, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.3, 2019.6 and 2020.1, within the scope of the Stock Plan, the granting was made free of charges and the shares will only be transferred to the participants after the vesting period of five years, and provided that the participant maintains the employment/statutory bond with the Company until the end of said term. There is no binding of the participants to the reaching of the Company’s performance goals.

 

i. criteria to set the acquisition or exercise price:


 

 

The price of the exercise of the shares arising from the Programs 2014.1, 2014.2, 2014.3, 2015.1, 2015.2, 2015.3, 2016.1, 2016.2, 2016.3, 2017.1, 2017.2, 2017.4, 2018.1, 2018.2, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.2, 2019.4, 2019.5 and 2020.1, all in the scope of the Option Plan, corresponds to the closing price of the Company’s stocks traded at B3 on the trading session immediately before the grant date, traded at B3, and a discount may be applied depending on the program.

 

The Share Appreciation Rights incentive does not involve the acquisition of shares, but rather the payment of a cash amount by the Company to the beneficiary. Such amount is determined at the end of the lock-up period applicable to each lot, based on the closing price of Company’s shares or ADRs on the trading session of B3 or NYSE, as applicable, immediately before the date of payment. Each Share Appreciation Right shall correspond to the right related to one share or ADR, as applicable.

 

In the Programs 2018.1, 2018.3, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.3, 2019.6 and 2020.1, within the scope of the Stock Plan, the granting of shares shall be made free of charge to the participants, under the terms of the Stock Plan and of the relevant program.

 

j. criteria to set the final term for exercise:

 

Within the scope of the Option Plan, according to the Programs 2014.1, 2014.2, 2014.3, 2015.1, 2015.2, 2015.3, 2016.1, 2016.2, 2016.3, 2017.1, 2017.2, 2017.4, 2018.1, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.5 the lots may only be exercised (i) in full upon the execution of the option grant agreement by the beneficiary; or (ii) in a period of five years after the verification of the vesting period of the relevant options. The programs 2018.2, 2019.2, 2019.4 and 2020.1 have single lots that may be exercised, in total or in part, within 45 days from the granting date.

 

The criteria used in the establishment of said terms takes into account the short, medium and long-term goals of this incentive form.

 

With regard to the Share Appreciation Rights, lot A provides for a term of five years to receive the relevant amounts, while in the case of lot B, there is a term of ten years. The main purpose of grace periods is to retain executives deemed of high potential and strategic for the business and activities of the Company, encouraging their continued employment with the Company in view of the possibility of receiving, in the long term, potentially attractive amounts linked to the value of shares issued by the Company.

 

Within the scope of the Stock Plan, according to the Programs 2018.1, 2018.3, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.3, 2019.6 and 2020.1 the delivery of Restricted Shares will be made after the vesting period of five years.

 

k. form of settlement:

 

In the case of the Option Plan, the Company may use treasury stocks to satisfy the exercise of options, and may, when applicable, use ADRs backed by shares issued by the Company. The Company may also issue new shares, upon an increase in capital stock, upon a resolution of the Board of Directors within the limits of authorized capital. The rule is that the exercise price must be paid on demand upon the exercise of the options within a period of up to five days as of their exercise date, depending on the program.

 

The Share Appreciation Rights do neither involve the effective delivery of shares, nor the payment of any amount by the beneficiary. They are settled upon the payment of the cash benefit by the Company directly to the beneficiary, immediately after the end of the relevant grace period.

 

Within the scope of the Stock Plan, according to the Programs 2018.1, 2018.3, 2018.4 and 2019.1, the Restricted Shares shall be delivered by the Company to the respective participant after the vesting period of five years. For purposes of the Stock Plan, the Company shall use existing shares held in treasury.

 

l. restrictions to the transfer of shares:

 

Within the Programs 2014.1, 2014.2, 2014.3, 2015.1, 2015.2, 2015.3, 2016.1, 2016.2, 2016.3 as well as the Programs 2017.1, 2017.2, 2017.4, 2018.1, 2018.2, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.2, 2019.4, 2019.5 and 2020.1, under terms of the Option Plan, the shares resulting from the option exercise may (i) be free and clear and may be transferred at any time, respected the preemptive right of the Company; or (ii) be subject to a lock-up of, at least, five years as of the date of the option exercise, depending on the program.


 

 

Share Appreciation Rights incentive by the Company does not involve the l delivery of shares. Therefore, there is nothing to say about any restriction to the transfer of shares. Please note, however, that the receipt of the amounts under the share appreciation rights program is subject to the grace periods described in sub-item “h” above.

 

Within the scope of the Stock Plan, according to the Programs 2018.1, 2018.3, 2018.4, 2019.1, 2019.3, 2019.6 and 2020.1, the delivered shares will be free and clear, and may be transferred at any time, respected the preemptive right of the Company.

 

m. criteria and event that, once verified, will result in the suspension, amendment or termination of the Plan:

 

The Plans may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors, pursuant to the terms under said Plans. Regardless of the authority of the Board of Directors, no decision may change the rights and obligations of the Company or beneficiaries or participants in force.

 

In addition, in case of dissolution, transformation, merger, consolidation, spin-off or reorganization of the Company, the existing options will be subject to the rules established by the Board of Directors on this matter.

 

n. effects of withdrawal of a manager from the bodies of the Company on the rights provided under share-based compensation plan:

 

Pursuant to the Plans, the Board of Directors or a committee, as the case may be, shall establish, in each Program, the rules applicable to the cases of severance of Company’s beneficiaries and participants due to the termination of the employment agreement, end of term of office, dismissal or resignation from executive office, as well as to the cases of retirement, permanent disability or death of participants.

  • Whenever necessary, the number of options granted and fair value were adjusted to reflect all stock splits that took place within the relevant period.

 

Calculation log of the potential dilution resulting from the exercise of options

 

The potential dilution mentioned in the tables above and represented in the table below considers that 100% of the options granted to the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Officers are exercised on the base date of this Reference Form, this is to say, December 31, 2019, and that the Company issues new shares as a result thereof, that is, it does not consider the use of any shares held in treasury. The dilution is calculated by the ratio between the number of new shares issued and the total number of shares of the capital stock after such issuance.

13.8. Information required to understand the data disclosed in items 13.5 to 13.7, including the pricing method applied to determine the value of shares and options):

 

a. pricing model:

 

The fair value of the options granted under the Option Plan is determined based on Hull Binomial Pricing Model. The model is based on the assumption that price of a share in future periods may  follow two possible ways: one upward and another downward. Then, a binomial tree is built in relation to the share price. The upward and downward factors are determined based on volatility of the share and the time frame between the steps in the tree. The trajectories for share price are determined until maturity. In parallel, a tree is also constructed to represent the option value per period. The option value is determined backwards, it starts from the expiration of vesting period. In the final period, the holder of the option shall decide whether to exercise the option or not.

 

In the case of Share Appreciation Rights, at the end of vesting period of each lot, the number of Share Appreciation Rights shall be converted into an amount equal to the closing price of shares or ADRs issued by the Company and traded at B3 or NYSE, respectively, on the trading session immediately before such term, it being certain that each Share Appreciation Rights shall correspond to one share or ADR, as applicable.

 

For grants of deferred shares and grants under the Stock Plan, the fair value corresponds to the closing price of shares or ADR traded at B3 or NYSE, as the case may be, on the day immediately before its grant date, and a discount may be applied under certain conditions as provided in each program. For the programs under the Stock Plan, the shares will be granted free of charge after the five-year grace period and provided that the participant maintains the employment and / or statutory relationship with the Company until the end of such term, observing the other terms of the Stock Plan and of each program. For specific information about such programs, refer to item 13.4.

 

b. data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average price of shares, the exercise price, the expected volatility, the duration of the option, expected dividends and risk free interest rate:

 

Calculation date

 

According to Technical Pronouncement CPC 10 – Share-Based Payment, options must be assessed on the date of their respective grant.

 

Weighted average price of shares

 

The price of the shares of the Company taken as basis to calculate the value of the respective options is their Market Value, as defined below.

 

Exercise price

 

Programs from 2008 to 2010

 


 

Lot A and lot C options (as specified in such programs) must be exercised for an exercise price corresponding to the average closing prices of shares traded at B3 over a 30-day window before grant date, or, in specific cases (e.g., to employees of subsidiaries of the Company headquartered abroad), the average closing price of ADRs traded at NYSE in the period (“Market Value”) under any specific provisions set forth in the Program. For the options belonging to lot B, the exercise price is the Market Value, applying a 10% discount.

 

In the case of the supplementary options set forth in said programs as belonging to lot C, the amounts corresponding to dividends and interest on own capital effectively paid out by the Company on the underlying shares during the period between grant date and exercise date is deducted from the exercise price.

 

Programs from 2010 to 2019

 

The exercise price of each option granted under the Option Plan corresponds to the closing price, in Brazilian Reais, of the Company’s shares traded on B3 in the trading session immediately prior to the grant date.

 

Expected volatility

 

The options’ expected volatility is based on historical volatility calculated since March 29, 2004. Based on the Hull Binomial Model, it is assumed that all employees would exercise their options immediately if the price of the shares of the Company would reach 2.5 times the exercise price. The Company will not use the sliding window method, in which volatility estimate is fixed length “m” (i.e., for each daily update information from the previous day is aggregated and the information of m+1 days ago is disregarded). To calculate the expected volatility, the Company used the daily stock returns of the Company. For every daily update of the calculation, information concerning that day is added to the base and no information is disregarded. Therefore, the base has mobile extension beginning on March 29, 2004 until the date of calculation.

 

Duration of options

 

Programs from 2008 to 2010

 

According to the option granting model used by the Company, the options belonging to the lots A and B must be immediately exercised, since they have a duration equal to zero. The supplementary options belonging to the lot c, in turn, have a total duration of ten years, considering a five-year vesting period and a five-year exercise period.

 

Programs from 2010 to 2019

 

Under the Option Plan, the options have a grace period of five years from the date of grant, and the beneficiary may exercise them within five years after the grace period ends, upon payment of the exercise price until five business days from the exercise date, as a compensation to the delivery of the shares, therefore, having a term of up to ten years.

 

Expected dividends (dividends distribution rate)

 


 

The dividends distribution rate represents the ratio between the dividend per share paid out over a certain period and the price of share in the market. The Company’s dividend distribution rate of 5% was calculated based on its history of dividends distribution and payment of interest on own capital.

 

However, in cases in which the options granted are protected in terms of dividends (programs prior to 2010), meaning that the amounts paid out as dividends and interest on own capital are deducted from their exercise price, the Company’s dividends distribution rate is zero for purposes of calculating the fair value of the options.

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

The risk-free interest rates were obtained based on the closing price of the futures contract DI1 (Future of Average Rate of One-Day Interbank Deposits) disclosed by B3 on the respective grant dates for similar maturity.

 

For illustrative purposes, the data explained in this item “b” was the following for the options granted in the fiscal years of 2017, 2018 and 2019:

c. method used and assumptions made to incorporate the expected effects of early exercise of options:

 

Based on the Hull Binomial Model used by the Company, the immediate exercise of all options granted is assumed if the price of the shares issued by the Company reaches 2.5 times the exercise price. The premise for the period in which the option will be exercised after the expiration of the grace period is related to the behavior of the beneficiaries of the options, which differs from individual to individual. Despite the measurement of past behavior of the beneficiaries to estimate future behavior, in general, prove to be more appropriate, Option Plan, underwent significant changes, especially in relation to the protection of dividends, capable to influence the decision on the exercise of the option. Accordingly, the Company chose to use as a premise the average result of two studies cited by Hull himself, and carried out by Huddart Lang and Carpenter, the conclusion of which established that the exercise of options in a compensation program would occur when the price of the stock issued by the Company reached 2.8 and 2.2 times the exercise price, respectively.

 

d. how the expected volatility is determined:

 

For the 2009 option programs, the expected volatility (approved by Companhia de Bebidas das Américas – Ambev and received by the Company) is based on historical data of the last 252 days. As of the 2010 option programs, the expected volatility is measured since March 2004. As explained in “c”, above, the Hull Binomial Model, adopted by the Company, assumes that all employees would exercise their options immediately if the price of the shares issued by the Company reached 2.5 times the exercise price.

 

e. has any other characteristic of the option been incorporated to the determination of its fair value:

 

Other characteristics were not incorporated in the measurement of the fair value of the options.

As described in item 13.4 above, as from 2011, the Board of Directors approved, for certain officers deemed by Management to have greater potential, the granting of Share Appreciation Rights. Since this compensation modality does not include equity instruments, it does not imply the issue of shares and, consequently, a dilution for other shareholders.

 

The table below discloses the same information required for plans that use options whose exercise is not immediate.
