The Management
Gafisa S.A.
Appendix I – Amendment to the stock option plan
(pursuant to Article 13 of ICVM 481)
1.
Provide a copy of the plan proposed.
Management
proposes to amend the 2008 Stock Option Plan, in order to include the
adjustments indicated in items below, deemed necessary due to intention of the
Board of Directors of altering the format of grants from 2018. The 2008 Stock Option Plan consolidating the amendments proposed
constitutes the
Appendix I.1
hereto (“
Plan
”).
2.
Inform main characteristics of the plan
proposed, identifying:
(a)
Potential beneficiaries:
The potential
beneficiaries of the Plan are the Management and employees of the Company
appointed by Board of Executive Officers based on performance
evaluation criteria and approved by the Board of Directors (“
Beneficiaries
”).
(b)
Maximum number of options to be granted
Each option
ensures the Beneficiary the right to acquire one common share of the Company. Thus,
the number of options granted is tied to the limit of dilution described in item
“c” below. On this date, this amount corresponds to 2,604,931
options.
(c)
Maximum number of shares covered by the
plan
The
maximum number of shares to be granted within the scope of the Plan now
corresponds to 8.5% of total shares of the Company’s capital stock, thus,
considering in this total amount, the dilution effect deriving from the
exercise of all options granted and not exercised.
On this date,
this amount corresponds to 2,604,931 common shares issued by the Company.
(d)
Acquisition conditions
The criteria and
conditions to acquire the options shall be defined by the Board of Directors
upon the launch of each Program and set out in Stock Option Agreements (“
Agreements
”),
to be entered into between the Company and each Beneficiary.
(e)
Detailed criteria to establish the
exercise price
The issue price
or purchase price, should the Company opt for using treasury shares to deal
with options exercise (subscription and acquisition jointly referred to as “acquisition”),
of shares to be acquired by Beneficiaries of the Plan due to the options
exercise (“
Exercise Price
”) shall be established by the Board of
Directors or Committee, where applicable, and shall correspond to the share’s average
value of the last 30 trading sessions at B3 S.A. – Brazil, Stock Exchange and
OTC, prior to the option grant date, and may be monetarily restated based on
the variation of a price index to be defined by the Board of Directors or
Committee, where applicable, plus interest rates, according to the rate
established by the Board of Directors or Committee, where applicable.
In the event of the Company’s capital increase within 90 days prior
to the options grant by the Board of Directors or Committee, the Exercise Price
may be the issue price adopted in referred capital increase.
The Exercise
Price of Options “B”, if granted, will remain at R$0.01.
(f)
Criteria to define the exercise term
The criteria to set
out the exercise term shall be defined by the Board of Directors upon the
launch of each Program and determined in Agreements. Options may be exercised
fully or partially during this term and in the periods established in the
Programs and respective Agreements.
(g)
Options settlement
Overall, the
shares corresponding to the options exercised by Beneficiaries shall be issued
and related capital increase, always within the limit of authorized capital, is
ratified by the Board of Directors. The Company also uses treasury shares to
deal with options exercise.
(h)
Criteria and events, which when verified,
will result in the suspension, alteration or extinguishment of the plan
The Plan may be
altered or extinguished by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the Board of
Director’s authority, no decision may change: (i) the limit of shares, purpose
of the Plan; as well as (ii) the rights and obligations acquired by
Beneficiary, relating to any grant under the Plan.
In addition, in
the event of winding-up, transformation, consolidation, merger, spin-off or
reorganization of the Company, in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, or, being the surviving entity, its shares are no longer accepted for
trading at the stock exchange, the options may be transferred to the succeeding
company or may have their vesting periods advanced, during a fixed term.
3.
Justify the plan proposed, explaining:
(a)
The main objectives of the plan
As mentioned in
item 1 above, this is not a new plan, but an amendment to the 2008 Stock Option
Plan, reason that the objectives of referred plan are maintained: (1) Foment
the expansion and success in the development of its corporate purposes,
allowing beneficiaries to acquire shares issued by the Company, stimulating
their integration with the Company; (2) attract Management and employees
to render their services; and (3) align the interests of Management and
employees with the interests of the Company’s shareholders.
(b)
How this plan contributes to these
objectives
By enabling
employees and managers to become Company’s shareholders, we expect they have
strong incentive to effectively commit themselves with value creation and
perform their duties so that to become integrated with shareholders’ interests,
the Company’s purposes and growth plans, thus, maximizing its results. The
stock option offered also encourages
Beneficiaries,
through their own funds, to pursue stock appreciation, however, without
compromising the sustainable growth, equally relevant in view of the grant
model adopted.
In addition,
through this model, the sharing of risks and gains of the Company, by means of
appreciation of shares acquired within the scope of this Plan is attained.
With this
amendment, we expect the Plan to contribute even more with these objectives,
becoming more effective as a mechanism to retain Management and employees.
(c)
How the plan is inserted in the Company’s
compensation policy
The Plan is
inserted in the policy to concentrate compensation of Management and employees
in variable components, linked to the Company’s performance. The Plan continues
directly linked to this alignment of interests.
(d)
How the plan aligns the interests of
beneficiaries and of the Company in the short, medium and long terms
The grants based
on the Plan still give rise to different mechanisms allowing the alignment of Management’s
interests in diverse time horizons.
Eventual split
into annual lots and different vesting periods make Beneficiaries to be
committed with continued Company’s appreciation in the short, medium and long
terms.
The Board of
Directors or the Committee, where applicable, may require Beneficiary to set aside
a minimum portion of amount received as annual bonus to the options exercise,
which also allows the alignment of interests both in the short and long terms,
as it involves the commitment of Beneficiary’s funds with shares issued by the
Company which only may be sold after the elapse of certain period. In fact, the
Plan foresees a lockout period to transfer the shares acquired in view of the options
exercise, which, with this amendment, no longer has a two-year maximum limit,
thus, especially benefiting the long-term commitment.
4.
Estimate the Company’s expenses deriving from
the plan, according to the accounting standards dealing with this matter
Based on the
assumption of a Program granted with 100% dilution approved in this Plan (8.5% of
current capital stock), the estimated accounting cost would be R$17 million to
be gradually amortized during options vesting period. These amounts are
calculated upon each grant through Binomial pricing models.
