Objectives of the Option Grant
|
1.1. The objective of the
Stock Option Plan
of GAFISA S.A. (“
Company
”), set forth in compliance with Article 168, §3, of Law No. 6,404/76 (the “
Plan
”) is to attract and retain executives of the Company and its direct and indirect affiliates (included in the definition of Company for means of this Plan), granting Company’s management and key employees the opportunity of becoming shareholders of the Company, therefore obtaining higher alignment of their interests with those of the shareholders, as well as the parting of capital market risks, thus achieving the Company’s purposes and the interests of its shareholders, as well as generating incentives for the retention of its key collaborators.
1.2. The management and key employees of the Company indicated by the Board of Officers according to performance evaluation criteria and approved by the Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the Plan (“
Beneficiaries
”).
2.
|
Shares Included in the Plan
|
2.1. The granting of options must be within the maximum limit of 8,5% (eight and a half per cent) of the total shares of Company’s capital, considering, within this total, the dilution effect resulting from the exercise of all granted and unexercised options.
2.2. Once the Beneficiaries exercise the option, the corresponding shares shall be issued through a capital increase. Options for the purchase of shares held in treasury may also be offered to the Beneficiaries.
2.3. The shareholders, pursuant to Article 171, §3, of Law No. 6,404/76, will have no right of first refusal or preemptive right on the occasion of the establishment of the Plan or the exercise of the stock options derived from the Plan.
3.
|
Administration of the Plan
|
3.1. The Plan will be managed by the Board of Directors or, at its discretion, by a Committee of 3 (three) members, being at least one of the members necessarily a member (effective or alternate) of the Board of Directors.
3.2.
The Committee members - but not those of the Board of Directors when
acting in the capacity of a committee - are prevented from being eligible to options
under the Plan.
3.3.
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have
extensive powers, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and, in the case of
the Committee, with the Board of Directors’ directives, to organize and manage
the Plan and option grants.
3.4.
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, may, at any
time, always subject to item 3.4.1, (i) amend or terminate the Plan; (ii)
establish regulations applicable to overlooked issues; and (iii) postpone, but
never advance, the deadline for the exercise of granted options.
3.4.1.
Notwithstanding the provisions of item 3.4, no decision of the Board of
Directors or of the Committee may, except with regard to the adjustments
permitted under this Plan, increase the total limit of shares that may be
awarded through the exercise of granted options; or amend or adversely affect,
without the Beneficiary’s consent, any rights or obligations under any existing
agreement or option grant.
3.5.
The resolutions of the Board of the Directors or of the Committee, as
the case may be, concerning the matters related to the Plan are binding upon
the Company and the Beneficiaries.
4.
|
Option Terms
and Conditions
|
4.1.
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, will
periodically establish Stock Option Programs (the “
Programs
”), which
will define: (i) the Beneficiaries; (ii) the total number of shares of the
Company to be granted and, when the case, their division in batches; (iii) the
exercise price, in accordance with item 6 below; (iv) the vesting periods, the
periods for exercising the options and the deadline for the total or partial
exercise of vested options and in which the rights deriving from the option
will expire; (v) when the case, restrictions to negotiation of the shares
awarded through the exercise of options; and (vi) performance goals for
executives and employees, in order to establish clear criteria for the
appointment of Beneficiaries and the determination of the number of options
they are entitled to.
4.2.
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, may grant,
under the aegis of each Program, different types of options to certain
Beneficiaries (the “
Options “B”
”). The exercise of Options “B”, if
granted, is subject to the proportional exercise of the regular options granted
under this Plan, according to the terms and conditions set forth in each
Program, and to the lapse of, at least, 2 (two) years, as of the grant date.
4.3
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, always
within the global limit set forth in item 2.1, may aggregate new Beneficiaries
to existing Programs, stipulating the number of shares that the Beneficiary may
acquire and adjusting the Exercise Price.
4.4
At the time each Program is approved, the Board of Directors or the Committee,
as the case may be, will establish the terms and conditions of each option in a
Stock Option Agreement (“
Agreement
”), to be executed between the
Company and each Beneficiary.
4.4.1
The Agreement shall determine the number of shares that the Beneficiary will
have the right to acquire or subscribe through the exercise of the options and
the acquisition price per share, according to the Program, and any other terms
and conditions that are not contrary to the Plan or the corresponding Program.
4.5
The shares resulting from the exercise of the option will bear the rights
established in the Plan, in the corresponding Programs and in the Agreement,
and will always bear the right to receive dividends that are distributed as of
the subscription or acquisition, as the case may be.
4.6
No share will be handed over to the Beneficiary through the exercise of the
options unless all legal and regulatory requirements have been fully complied
with.
4.7
No provision of the Plan, of any Program or of the Agreement will confer rights
to any Beneficiary with regard to remaining in the position of an executive
and/or employee of the Company, and will not in any manner whatsoever affect
the rights of the Company to, at any time, terminate the employment contract or
interrupt the term of office.
4.8
The Beneficiary will have no rights and privileges of Company shareholder,
except those related to the Plan, with respect to the options object of the
Agreement. The Beneficiary will only have the rights and privileges inherent to
the condition of Company shareholder from the moment of the effective
acquisition or subscription of the shares resulting from the exercise of
options.
5.
|
Exercise of
the Option
|
5.1.
The options may be totally or partially exercised during the term and
within the periods established in the corresponding Agreements, subject to the
provision of item 4.2.
5.2.
The Beneficiaries will be subject to the restrictive rules regarding the
use of privileged information applicable to publicly-held companies in general
and to those established by the Company.
6.1.
The issue or purchase price, in the event the Company decides to use
treasury shares on the occasion of the exercise of the options (subscription
and purchase herein jointly referred to as “acquisition” for purposes of this
Plan), of the shares to be acquired by the Beneficiaries through exercising the
options (“
Exercise Price
”) will be determined by the Board of
Directors or by the Committee, as the case may be, and will be equivalent to
the average closing price of the shares in the last 30 (thirty) trading
sessions of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ,),
immediately preceding the date of the option grant, and may be adjusted to
inflation, based on the variation of a price index to be determined by the
Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, and added interest,
also at the Board of Directors’ or the Committee’s discretion, as the case may
be.
6.1.1.
In the event of a capital increase of the Company up to ninety (90) days before
a grant of options decided by the Board of Directors or the Committee, the
Exercise Price will become the issue price used in such capital increase.
6.2
The Exercise Price of Options “B”, if granted, will be R$ 0,01 (one
cent), in accordance with the provisions of this Plan and of the Programs,
especially in item 4.2.
6.3
The Exercise Price will be paid by the Beneficiaries in cash on the date of
acquisition, as determined by the Board of Directors or by the Committee for
each Program.
6.4
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine that
the Beneficiary commit part of the annual gratification paid by the Company to
the Beneficiary, on account of bonus or profit sharing, net of income tax and
other assessed charges (“
Bonus
”) to the acquisition of shares deriving
from the exercise of granted options.
7.1
Unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the
case may be, the Beneficiary may only sell, transfer or dispose, in any manner
whatsoever, of the Company shares acquired through the exercise of the options,
as well as those that may be acquired thereby through bonuses, stock splits,
subscription or any other form of acquisition, or securities that grant the
right to subscribe or acquire shares, provided that shares or securities have
derived for the Beneficiary from the ownership of the shares covered by the
Plan (jointly, the “
Shares
”), if the minimum non-availability period
established in each Program for each batch of shares.
7.1.1
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, the Beneficiary may dispose, at
any time, of the number of shares necessary to carry out the payment of the
Exercise Price of the options to be exercised under the aegis of the Programs,
as well as for payment of any taxes or charges arising from these operations.
7.1.2
The Shares acquired through exercise of Options “B”, if granted, may be sold,
transferred or, in any manner, disposed of at any time, from the moment of
their acquisition.
7.2
The Beneficiary undertakes not to encumber the Shares and not to impose any
charges thereon that may impede compliance with the provisions in this Plan.
7.3
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine that
the transfer of Shares be subject to the right of first refusal or preemptive
right of the Company, in equal conditions. In this case, the Company may
indicate one or more third parties to exercise the option in the same
conditions, whether Beneficiaries of the Plan or not.

the Employment Contract or Term of Office for Cause
|
In
the event of termination of the employment contract or term of office of the

sale of Shares provided in item 7.1 will remain effective.
9.
Termination
of the Employment Contract or Term of Office at the initiative of the beneficiary,
or Retirement

Unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the
case may be, in the event of termination of the employment contract or term of
office of the Beneficiary without cause, as well as in the event of resignation
or retirement of the Beneficiary, the following provisions shall apply:
a)
unvested options will forfeit with no indemnification;
b)
vested and non-exercised options may be exercised within the period of

c)
the restriction period imposed on the sale of Shares as provided in item

10.
|
Termination of
the Employment Contract or Term of Office without Cause
by Company Initiative
|
10.1.
In the event of termination of the employment contract or the mandate of
the Beneficiary without cause at the Company's initiative, the Beneficiary will
be entitled to the partial exercise of the Options, in proportion to the time
in which they remain in the Company after the date of the granting of the
Options. The Grace Period and the Exercise Term of the Options shall not be
altered, and the Beneficiary may exercise them in accordance with the
provisions of items 5, 6 and 7 above.
10.2.
The Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, may
determine the treatment to be given to Options "B" that may be
granted to the Beneficiary, provided that the termination was made without a
cause cause.
11.
|
Death or
Permanent Disability of the Beneficiary
|
11.1.
Should the Beneficiary die or become permanently disabled for the
exercise of his duties in the Company, the rights under all of the options will
be extended to her heirs and successors, who may exercise them within a period
of 180 (one hundred and eighty) days as of the date of death or permanent
disability.
11.1.1.
In the case of unvested options, including Options “B”, the period for
exercise will be advanced so the heirs and successors may exercise them within
the period set forth in item 11.1 above.
11.2.
The Shares that are acquired by the Beneficiary’s heirs or successors
will be free and clear for sale at any moment.
12.1.
If the number of shares of the Company is increased or reduced as a
result of stock bonuses, grouping or splits, the appropriate adjustments will
then be undertaken to the number of Shares for which the options have been
granted and not exercised. Any adjustments to the options will be undertaken with
no alteration to the total purchase value applicable to the non-exercised
portion of the options, but with the adjustment corresponding to the price per
share covered by the option.
12.1.1.
The adjustments pursuant to the conditions set forth in item 10.1 above
will be made by the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be,
and this resolution will be final and binding. No fraction of shares will be
sold or issued under the Plan or any of these adjustments
12.2.
In the event of winding-up, transformation, consolidation, merger,
spin-off or restructuring of the Company, in which the Company is not the
surviving entity, or, being the surviving entity, its shares are no longer
admitted to negotiation in stock exchange markets, the options deriving from
the effective Programs, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the
Committee, as the case may be, may be transferred to the succeeding company or
may have their vesting periods advanced, during a fixed term, so they can be
exercised by the Beneficiary. After this lapse of time, the Plan will be
terminated and all non-exercised options will forfeit with no indemnification.
13.
|

Ending Date of the Plan
|
