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.
