1. Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors
São José dos Campos, March 22, 2019
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to invite you to attend the Annual and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meetings (“AGOE” or “Meetings”) of Embraer S.A. (“Embraer” or “Company”), cumulatively called for April 22, 2019, 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 theNovo Mercado segment of B3, the highest level of corporate governance that a company can have in Brazil.
In the AGOE, 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 the (i) 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) Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting to take place on first call, the attendance of shareholders representing at leasttwo-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, which allows the consolidation and maintenance of 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 AGOE.
We encourage your attendance in the AGOE, 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
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 2/3 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 2/3 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 oftwo-thirds 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:

As regards to 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.
Foreign Shareholders’ Group– A Shareholders’ Group will be considered foreign whenever one or more of its members is a Foreign Shareholder.

4.5. 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, 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$74 million for the period between May 2019 and April 2020.
The aggregate compensation proposed herein is equal to the amount approved by shareholders at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings of 2018 and 2017, even considering the provisioning of bonus and incentive for the retention of Company’s executives at closing and post-closing of the strategic partnership with Boeing and the increase in social security (INSS) charges on amounts paid to directors and officers due to the end of the payroll tax exclusion.
Please also note that the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held in 2018 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 2019 is approximately R$58.0 million. The difference between the approved limit and the realized amount primarily results from the failure to achieve the maximum variable compensation set forth for members of the management due to thenon-fulfillment of the Company targets.
Finally, it should be noted the amount subject to approval refers to the period between May 2019 and April 2020, while item 13.2 of the Brazilian Annual Report reflects the period between January and December 2019.
Pursuant to Section 12, item II, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09, the information set forth in item 13 of the Brazilian Annual Report is included in Annex V hereto.
4.6. To determine the compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council
Pursuant to Embraer’s Bylaws, the compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council is established by the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting that elects them, in compliance with the legal requirements and limits, taking into account their experience, education and reputation.
Pursuant to Section 162, Paragraph 3, of Law No. 6,404/76, the compensation of each member of the Fiscal Council cannot be lower than 10% of the compensation that, on average, is attributed to each Officer, excluding benefits, representation funds and profit sharing.
Accordingly, Embraer’s Board of Directors proposes a monthly compensation for the Chairman of the Fiscal Council in the amount of R$15,000.00 and an individual compensation in the amount of R$13,250.00 for the other members of the Fiscal Council for the period between May 2019 and April 2020, maintaining the same compensation proposed and approved in the previous period.

Embraer’s Board of Directors recommends its shareholders to carefully review a copy of the proposed Bylaws and the report with the proposed amendments contained in Annexes VI and VII to this Manual, pursuant to Section 11, items I and II, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09.

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 section 10.1 derive from our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.
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, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2018 includes the first year of adoption of IFRS 9/CPC 48 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 15/CPC 47—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The transition method chosen by the Company was the full retrospective method. Accordingly, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were restated to reflect such adoption. For more information on the adoption of such accounting standards, see Section 10.4 of Company’s Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).
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.
(a) | Financial Position |
The Executive Officers believe that the Company has been keeping a satisfactory liquidity, reflected in the adjustedworking capital as of December 31, 2018 R$4,640.0 million, December 31, 2017 R$3,402.0 million and December 31, 2016 R$3,565.3 million, which corresponds to the Company’s current assets, less the balance of cash and cash equivalents and financial investments, and current liabilities, less loans and financing. This level of working capital represents adequate conditions to fulfill short-term operating obligations.
The Executive Officers believe that the Company’s financial health is sufficient to fulfill its obligations with third parties, including the payment of debt, based on current liquidity (Current Assets/Current Liabilities) of 2.32 as of December 31, 2018, 2.53 as of December 31, 2017, and 2.13 as of December 31, 2016. The Company has access to sources of funding, supported by credit rating from Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings. Standard & Poor’s rated the Company as BBB, with a negative outlook, and has granted the Company an investment grade rating since 2006. The Company’s credit rating by Moody’s is rated Ba1, which was downgraded from Baa3 in February 2016, following the downgrading of the Brazilian sovereign credit rating, from Baa3 to Ba2, in the same period. In April 2016, Fitch Ratings rated the Company’s credit risk asBBB-. In February 2018, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Brazilian sovereign credit rating from BB toBB-. However, Fitch Ratings did not change Embraer’s credit ratings. In January 2019, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch included the Company’s ratings in the “Credit/Rating Watching” list with negative implications, reflecting the potential weakening of our business risk profile if the strategic partnership with Boeing is approved.

In terms of debt profile, the average maturity was 5.5 years in 2018, 6.0 years in 2017 and 5.3 years in 2016, in line with the business cycle and development of new Embraer products.
The Board of Executive Officers understands that the Company, in the last three fiscal years, has demonstrated sufficient financial conditions to make investments in new products and services, and to fulfill short- and medium-term obligations.
The Board of Executive Officers considers that cash resources, which totaled R$12,429.3 million as of December 31, 2018, R$12,861.9 million as of December 31, 2017 and R$10,381.0 million as of December 31, 2016, have been sufficient to finance operations and meet funding requirements for at least 12 months.
In 2018, the Company had total indebtedness of R$14,134.1 million, representing an increase of 2% compared to R$13,888.8 million in 2017, which, in turn, represented an increase of 13% compared to R$12,254.0 million in 2016. At the end of 2018, 95.1% of the Company’s total indebtedness referred to long-term credit facilities. Of the total indebtedness, R$12,947.78 million (91.6%) was denominated in U.S. dollars, R$1,110.3 million (7.9%) was denominated inReais and R$76.1 million (0.5%) was denominated in Euros. At the end of 2017, 90.7% of the Company’s indebtedness referred to long-term credit facilities. Of the total indebtedness, R$11,761.2 million (84.7%) was denominated in U.S. dollars, R$2,081.2 million (15.0%) was denominated inReais and R$46.3 million (0.3%) was denominated in Euros. At the end of 2016, 86.4% of the Company’s indebtedness referred to long-term credit facilities.

In 2018, inventory totaled R$9,714.3 million, representing a 36.7% increase compared to R$7,108.0 million in 2017, which, in turn, represented a 12.6% decrease compared to R$8,136.2 million in 2016. The increase in inventory in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to the decrease in inventory turnover, which was 1.6 in 2018, representing a decrease compared to 2.1 in 2017 and 2.1 in 2016, which is not enough to meet the Company’s operating needs.

COMPARASION OF THE MAIN CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ITEMS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND DECEMBER 31, 2017
Current assets
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 63% and 59% of total assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The 17% increase in the current assets was primarily due to the 37% 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$16,360.3 million compared to R$16,192.7 million as of December 31, 2017.Non-current assets accounted for 37% and 41% of total assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the depreciation of theReal 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 41% to 37% 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 27% and 23% of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This 27% increase in the period was basically due to the depreciation of theReal against the U.S. dollar, in addition to the increase inNon-recourse and recourse debt and contract liabilities, which resulted in the transfer of a portion ofnon-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% and 42% 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% 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.

COMPARASION OF THE MAIN CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ITEMS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016
Current assets
As of December 31, 2017, current assets totaled R$23,419.1 million compared to R$22,102.1 million as of December 31, 2016. Current assets accounted for 59% and 58% of total assets as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This 6% increase in current assets was primarily due to the 35% increase in financial investments, as, in January, the Company issued 5.40% US$750.0 million guaranteed notes due 2027. Inventories decreased by 13% due to a better balance between production and deliveries of aircraft in 2017. In addition to the issuance of notes and the decrease in Inventories, no significant variations occurred in current assets as a percentage of total assets.
Non-current assets
As of December 31, 2017,non-current assets totaled R$16,192.7 million compared to R$15,914.5 million as of December 31, 2016.Non-current assets accounted for 41% and 42% of total assets as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This slight decrease was primarily due to the appreciation of theReal against the U.S. dollar and the decrease in collateralized accounts receivable and guarantee deposits, which, together, decreased by R$611.3 million. The main positive impacts that offset part of this decrease affected our (i) intangible assets, considering the continuity of investments in the development of E2E-Jets, the new family of the Company’s commercial jets, and (ii) financial investments, as a portion of the use of proceeds from the issuance of notes was invested in long-term securities. Nonetheless, no significant variations innon-current assets occurred, as shown in the slight variation ofnon-current assets as a percentage of total assets.
Current liabilities
As of December 31, 2017, current liabilities totaled R$9,272.9 million compared to R$10,367.3 million as of December 31, 2016. Current liabilities accounted for 23% and 27% of liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This 11% decrease in the period was basically due to the appreciation of theReal against the U.S. dollar. Excluding the exchange rate effect, no significant changes occurred in current liabilities.
Non-current liabilities
As of December 31, 2017,non-current liabilities totaled R$16,519.4 million compared to R$14,804.6 million as of December 31, 2016.Non-current liabilities accounted for 42% and 39% of total liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This 11% increase was primarily due to the 19% increase in Loans and financing, which may be mainly explained by the issuance of 5.40% US$750.0 million guaranteed notes due 2027.

As of December 31, 2017, shareholders’ equity totaled R$13,819.4 million, compared to R$12,844.9 million as of December 31, 2016. This 8% increase was primarily due to retained earnings and equity value adjustment recorded in the year.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017
Net Revenue
In 2018, Embraer delivered 90 commercial aircraft and 91 executive aircraft (64 light jets and 27 large jets), compared to a total of 101 commercial aircraft and 109 executive aircraft (72 light jets and 37 large jets) delivered in 2017.
This decrease in the number of aircraft delivered in 2018, together with the depreciation of theReal 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 2% decrease compared to R$8,863.2 million in 2017. In 2018, revenue from the Executive Jets 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 20% decrease compared to R$2,733.1 million in 2017, primarily due to the review of the cost of the aircraftKC-390 development program in the second quarter of 2018, generating a negative impact of R$458.7 million, as a result of the incident with theKC-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 22% 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% 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% increase compared to R$15,262.5 million in 2017. Fewer deliveries in the year, which generates a decrease in cost of sales, was offset by the depreciation of theReal in the period. Costs from the Defense & Security segment also increased, affecting gross profit.
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% 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% and totaled R$669.9 million, accounting for 4% 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% increase compared to R$1,009.7 million in the previous year.
In both cases, the depreciation of theReal 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% 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 reflectnon-recurring items derived from the review of the cost base of theKC-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 aircraft used in the Company’s portfolio. Moreover, fewer deliveries in the Executive Jets 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 thenon-recurring items described above, totaled R$224.3 million in 2018, compared to R$995 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.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled R$4,963.0 million, R$4,203.7 million and R$4,046.2 million as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as set forth in the analysis below:
Net Cash Generated (Used) in Operating Activities
In 2018, net cash generated from operating activities totaled R$4,012.8 million, representing a 61% increase compared to R$2,497.1 million in 2017, primarily due to the decrease in financial investments and contracted assets, together with the increase in trade accounts payable and contracted liabilities, which was partially offset by a lower net income and an increase in inventories in 2018 compared to 2019.
In 2017, net cash generated from operating activities totaled R$2,497.1 million, representing a significant increase of 908% compared to net cash used in operating activities of R$309.0 million in 2016, due to the decrease in inventories in the yearly comparison. Moreover, this improvement in cash results from a higher net income, excluding the effects ofnon-cash items.

In 2018, net cash used in investing activities totaled R$1,915.4 million, representing a 45% decrease compared to 2017. The main variations between years were due to the 29% decrease in additions to intangible assets and the 77% 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 E2E-Jets, which requires less cash, already including the certification of theE190-E2 and the expected certification of theE195-E2 in 2019. The decrease in investments held to maturity was primarily due to lower investments in short-term securities (held to maturity).
In 2017, net cash used in investing activities remained virtually stable compared to 2016. The main variations between years were due to the 44% decrease in acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and the 14% decrease in additions to intangible assets. The decrease in both cases was mainly due to the progress of the development program for the second generation of E2E-Jets, which was in its final stage and, consequently, required less cash. Other significant variation occurred in investments held to maturity, which increased by 406% in 2017, primarily due to higher investments in short-term securities (held to maturity).
Net Cash Generated (Used) in Financing Activities
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 86% decrease in Proceeds from borrowings and the 28% increase in repayment of borrowings.
In 2017, net cash generated in financing activities was primarily affected by the issuance of notes in the amount of US$750 million by the Company to meet general corporate purposes.

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.
The main factors that affect the Company’s revenue are: (1) the volume of commercial and executive aircraft deliveries; (2) the mix of deliveries of small and large jets for commercial and 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.
The charts below set forth the total revenue of the Company by business unit and region. The Commercial Aviation segment accounts for most of the revenue of the Company, followed by Executive Jets, Services & Support and Defense & Security and Others. Geographically, revenue from North America, as a percentage of total revenue, decreased slightly in recent years. However, North America remained as the main consumer market of the Company’s products and services, especially the E175 commercial jets, as a result of the success of a number of sales campaigns launched in the United States in the last five years, where the Company obtained approximately 90% of all orders of jets with 76 seats. The European market continued to grow and accounts for 19% of the Company’s revenue. Revenue from Brazil, as a percentage of total revenue, decreased to 8% in 2018. Revenue from other regions (Latin America, Asia-Pacific/China, Africa and Middle East), as a percentage of total revenue, also decreased compared to the previous year, accounting for 14% of the Company’s revenue.
In 2018, adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating margin (EBIT) totaled R$800.0 million (US$223.8 million) and 4.3%, respectively, below the Company’s initial estimates. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in costs in the Defense & Security segment associated with the review of base cost of the development program for theKC-390 aircraft, and fewer deliveries in the Executive Jets segment.
(b) Variations in revenues attributable to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services
In 2018, the Company delivered 181 aircraft in the Commercial and Executive Aviation segments, representing a decrease compared to 210 aircraft delivered in these segments in 2017, which, together with the 17% depreciation of theReal in the period, generated 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 2% decrease compared to R$8,863.2 million in 2017. This slight decrease is due to the decrease in deliveries in this segment, from 101 aircraft in 2017 to 90 aircraft in 2018.
This is a free translation of the manual and management proposal for the Embraer’s shareholders’ meetings required pursuant to Brazilian laws. This is not, and shall not be read as, proxy statement compliant with U.S. laws. If there is any inconsistency or ambiguity between the English version and the Portuguese version of this manual and management proposal, the Portuguese version shall prevail.
32
In 2018, revenue from the Executive Jets business totaled R$ 4,181.6 million, representing a 1% increase compared to R$4,134.6 million in 2017, due to a similar reason: 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 20% decrease compared to R$2,733.1 million in 2017, due to the base review of the aircraftKC-390 development program.
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% decrease compared to R$101.5 million in 2017.
In 2017, net revenue from the Commercial Aviation segment totaled R$8,863.2 million, representing a 12% decrease compared to R$10,038.1 million in 2016. This decrease is due to the appreciation of theReal in the period and also the decrease in deliveries in the segment, from 108 aircraft in 2016 to 101 aircraft delivered in 2017. As a percentage of total deliveries, deliveries of smaller jets (E170 and E175) accounted for 78% of total deliveries compared to deliveries of larger jets (E190 and E195), which accounted for 22% of total deliveries.
In 2017, net revenue from the Executive Jets segment totaled R$4,134.6 million, representing a 23% decrease compared to R$5,350.5 million in 2016. In this case, the decrease was due to the same reasons: fewer deliveries in 2017, i.e., 109 jets (72 light jets and 37 large jets) delivered in 2017 compared to 117 jets (73 light jets and 44 large jets) delivered in 2016, in addition to the appreciation of theReal during the year.
In 2017, net revenue from the Defense & Security segment decreased by 5%, from R$2,879.3 million in 2016 to R$2,733.1 million in 2017, primarily due to the appreciation of theReal in the period.
In 2017, revenue from the Services & Support business totaled R$2,943.7 million, representing a 4% decrease compared to R$3,074.8 million in 2016; and revenue from Other business totaled R$101.4 million in 2017, representing a 7% increase compared to R$92.5 million in 2016.
(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 inReais 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 Company’s financial results because, as a global company, Embraer maintains cash primarily in U.S. dollars and, to a lesser extent, inReais. An increase or decrease in local interest rates also influences the financial revenues of the Company. In 2018, investments inReais totaled R$1,548.3 million, compared to R$2,434.5 million in 2017 and R$3,693.9 million in 2016. Investments abroad are indexed to apre-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
On December 20, 2016, the Company announced the creation of a business unit focused on services and customer service, bringing together funds scattered in different business areas. This unit is responsible for the development of support solutions for current and new products and services, as well as for managing the associated processes and resources. This represents an opportunity to increase operating efficiency and recurring revenues. Currently, there are approximately 2,400 Embraer commercial aircraft and more than 1,100 Embraer executive jets, as well as more than 900 defense aircraft in operation. In the next 20 years, we expect approximately 6,400 new jets will be in operation (jets with up to 150 seats). In executive aviation, more than 7,500 new jets are expected to be operational in the next decade, excluding the commercialization of thepre-existing fleet. During 2017, the new business unit consolidated the customer support services and processes previously attributed to each of our business areas in order to identify synergies and quantify our experience with customer service and support in our Commercial Aviation, Executive Jets, Defense & Security and agricultural aviation units. The Services and Support segment was first separated in 2018. This segment was created to strengthen the Company’sknow-how and provide the best post-sales services and support solutions to customers through a comprehensive portfolio of innovative and competitive solutions to ensure the operating efficiency of the products manufactured by the Company and other aircraft manufacturers, expanding the useful life of commercial, executive and defense aircraft.
In addition to its experience in proposing support solutions to customers,Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal S.A, or OGMA, offers MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) services to a diversified portfolio of defense, commercial and executive aircraft, as well as for aircraft engines and components. OGMA also plays the role of an important supplier of metallic and composite aeronautic structures to a number of aircraft manufacturers.
The services and support segment has six macro processes:
• | Capturing the needs of customers and developing integrated support and service solutions: developing integrated and competitive solutions regarding support, technical services, materials or MRO activities that meet the needs and expectations of the Company’s customers. |
• | Selling and managing support and service solutions: selling integrated and competitive technical support, service solutions, materials or MRO activities and managing support and services agreements. |
• | Providing solutions for materials: supplying parts to customers, through direct sale or availability under special programs, managing the repair of components, providing inventory management services and consultancy in inventory formation, etc. |
• | Providing technical solutions: providing technical and operational support and maintenance to customers through services, including training for pilots and flight attendants; aircraft modification and improvement projects; review of technical, operational and maintenance publications and digital solution support. |
• | Providing MRO solutions: providing scheduled andnon-scheduled maintenance services for aircraft, engines and landing gear; aircraft modernization and repair of components. |
• | Monitoring and ensuring excellence in operations and in the relationship with customers: ensuring operating excellence in Materials, Technical and MRO solutions, by maintaining the accountability of the operating leadership and support areas, consistently monitoring operating KPIs and reviewing customer satisfaction through MFA practices.

(b) Incorporation, Acquisition or Sale of Equity Interest
Strategic Partnership with Boeing: Overview
In December 2017, Embraer and The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), announced that the two companies were engaged in discussions regarding a potential strategic partnership. In July 2018, the two companies entered into a preliminary andnon-binding memorandum of understanding establishing the basic premises for a potential strategic partnership involving certain of Embraer’s businesses. In December 2018, the Board of Directors of Embraer approved, in principle, the terms and conditions of the strategic partnership, subject to the approval by the Brazilian government, which holds a common share of special class issued by Embraer (golden share). The Brazilian government approved the Transaction (as defined below) in early 2019.
On January 24, 2019, Embraer, Boeing and certain of their subsidiaries entered into the Master Transaction Agreement (as defined below) 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 theKC-390 multi-mission aircraft.

In addition to the reclassifications and adjustments made in previous periods, resulted from the adoption of new accounting standards, the Company reclassified its loans with subsidiaries in the individual financial statements from “accounts receivable from subsidiaries” to “other assets” to improve the presentation of the nature of these transactions in the Company’s balance sheet. Accordingly, R$107,814 and R$1,201,481 were reclassified between December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively. However, such reclassification did not affect the result for the respective year and/or changed the current andnon-current components of such balance sheet.
(c) Qualifications and Emphasis in the Auditor’s Report
Commentary on the independent auditor’s report for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016
The independent auditor’s reportincluded in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 did not have any qualifications or emphasis of matter paragraphs.
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 Contracts with Customers
In the Defense & Security segment, a significant portion of revenue is derived from development 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 cost variations in relation to projected costs, changes in circumstances and/or 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. The Management of the Company understands that an inadequate projection of the costs in these agreements may cause distortions in the measurement of the respective revenues.
Residual Value Guarantees
Residual value guarantees granted on new aircraft sales may be exercised at the end of the financing contract between a financial agent and the customer/operator of the aircraft. At the time of grant, guarantees are measured at fair value and revised quarterly to reflect any losses due to the fair value of these commitments. The residual value guarantees may be exercised if the quoted market value is lower than the future fair value guaranteed. The future fair value is estimated in accordance with third party evaluation of the aircraft, including information obtained from the sale or leasing of similar aircraft on the secondary market. The Management of the Company believes that the engagement of a qualified third party not only represents an assessment made by an independent source, but also is the best way to estimate any exposure to residual value guarantees.
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.
43
Impairment ofNon-current Assets
The 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. |
Impairment of aircraft held in our fixed assets available for leasing to third parties is measured at the fair value less cost to sell, notvalue-in-use. Assessment of the recoverable value of the aircraft takes into account assessment of their fair value in an active market and recognition of impairment if their carrying value is lower than the fair value.
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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses its judgment to select a variety of methods using assumptions based on market conditions at the end of each reporting period. The methods and calculations are the same as known techniques normally used by the financial market, therefore adequately reflecting the fair value of financial instruments.
Income Tax and Social Contribution
The Company is subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We also recognize liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. When the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, the differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which the final amount is determined. The Management of the Company considers that the judgment used by its experts in the determination of these provisions is adequate.
The book value amounts included in the financial statements of the Company are assessed in the functional currency (U.S. dollar), while the calculation basis of income tax on assets and liabilities is calculated in Brazilian currency (Real). Therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates may significantly affect the amount of deferred income tax and social contribution expenses recorded in each period, primarily due to the impact onnon-monetary assets.
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.

Asset Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation
A discontinued operation is a Company’s business component which comprises operations and cash flows that may be clearly distinct and:
• | Represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; |
• | Is part of a coordinated single plan for the sale of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or |
• | Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. |
The classification of a Company’s operation as discontinued operation is achieved through its disposal, or at the time the transaction meets the criteria of IFRS 5/CPC 31 to have its assets and liabilities classified as held for sale, whichever occurs earlier.
An asset or group of assets and liabilities is held for sale when it is expected that its carrying amount will be recovered mainly from the sale transaction rather than continuous use. This occurs if the asset is available for immediate sale under its current conditions, subject only to customary and usual terms for the conclusion of the transaction, when the sale transaction is defined as ‘highly probable’ under the accounting standard.
The transaction initiated by the Company and Boeing involving assets of the Commercial Aviation segment and associated services will be classified as held for sale and discontinued operation as of February 26, 2019, date of approval by shareholders at the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, when the ‘highly probable’ criteria is met.
The Company understands that on the base date December 31, 2018, the criteria of classification as asset held for sale and discontinued operation was not met.
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
As described in note 35 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company enters into certainoff-balance sheet arrangements, in the ordinary course of business, includingtrade-in obligations, operating leases and financial and residual value guarantees, as follows:
Trade-inobligations
The Company is subject totrade-in options for eight aircraft. The key condition in anytrade-in transaction is the acquisition of new aircraft by the respective customers, i.e., the execution of a new aircraft sales agreement and aircraft delivery. The exercise of thetrade-in option is subject to the fulfillment of contractual provisions by the customer. Under these options, the price of the good given as payment may be applied to the purchase price of a more updated new model manufactured by the Company. The Company continues to monitor alltrade-in commitments to anticipate adverse events. Based on the current estimates of the Company and the assessment of third parties, Management believes that any aircraft potentially accepted under atrade-in option may be sold in the market without any material gains or losses.

Financial Guarantees
The Company provides guarantees in the financing of aircraft. 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.

Backlog
The Company has a backlog, whose performance obligations are unmet or partially met. The amount of revenue allocated to unmet or partially met performance obligations, as of December 31, 2018, totaled R$63,161.327, of which R$49,473.251 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.
(b) Others Items not included in the Financial Statements
There are no other items that were not included in the financial statements.
10.7 | – Comments onOff-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 thoseoff-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
Trade-in obligations
Regardingtrade-in options, the Company may have to exceptionally accept exchanges at prices that may be above the market price of the aircraft at the time of the exchange, which would result in financial losses to the Company. In this case, the loss is calculated as the market value of the used aircraft given in exchange for a new one less the amount attributed in the negotiation with the customer. The loss is recognized as a deduction from the sales revenue of the new aircraft as a commercial discount. The Company continues to monitor alltrade-in commitments to anticipate adverse events. Based on the current estimates of the Company and assessment of third-party, Management believes that any aircraft potentially accepted under atrade-in option may be sold in the market without any material gains or losses.
Operating Leases
Because the essence of these lease agreements refers to a mere lease under which assets are not purchased, the respective payment flows are not represented in the balance sheet of the Company, except in the period in which the service (lease) was offered, following the matching principle. Payments made under operating leases are appropriated to the result through the straight-line method during the period of the lease, according to its nature.
Guarantees
The Company may provide residual value guarantees in the future related to aircraft 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 aircraft. 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 aircraft in the secondary market.

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.
47
The Company may provide financial guarantees in the future related to aircraft 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).
(c) Nature and amount of obligations assumed and rights created in favor of the issuer as a result of the transaction

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 Jets, 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 theE-2 jets, second generation of theE-Jets family, consisting of theE175-E2,E190-E2 andE195-E2 models, which were launched in June 2013. The firstE190-E2 model, sold to a Norwegian customer, i.e., Wideroe, commenced operations in Abril 2018. The estimated investment amount for theE-Jets family is US$1.7 billion, net of contribution from partners.
In the Executive Jets segment, investments in Legacy 450/500 jets were completed in 2018, in the total approximate amount of US$840 million. 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 must be certified and is expected to commence operations in the second quarter of 2019, followed by Praetor 500, scheduled for the third quarter of 2019. The Praetor 600 and 500 jets stem from the platform of Legacy 500/450 jets. Most of the investments of the Company are related to the development of the E2 commercial jet family. The table below sets forth the investments in research and development (R&D) and Capex of the Company, in 2018, 2017 and 2016.

(ii) Sources of Funds for Investments
Investments consist primarily of expenses associated with the development of aircraft for the commercial and executive aviation markets and investments in industrial capacity in Brazil and abroad. Generally, these investments are supported by funds derived from operations; loans and financing, primarily from government financing agencies, such as BNDES and FINEP; cash contributions from risk-sharing partners, and advances from customers.
In 2018, the Company did not make any significant use of any of the sources of funds mentioned above.
In 2017, Embraer Netherlands Finance B. V., a subsidiary of the Company, issued US$750.0 million guaranteed notes, to meet general corporate purposes.
In 2016, Embraer Portugal S.A., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit facility with Santander Totta in the amount of US$200.0 million to fund the acquisition of fixed assets and working capital.

Based on its business plans and monitoring of the global technological scenario, Embraer sets forth a technological development plan aiming to investigate and develop solutions for the main challenges facing 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’spre-competitive research and development strategy is structured as a program whose key competences are not only the ability to manage and execute multidisciplinary projects, but also to maintain and coordinate a network of development partners, integrating several institutions (universities, research institutes, development institutions and companies).
In 2018, the Company’s total investments amounted to US$304.6 million, of which US$164.8 million was earmarked for product development, net of contribution from partners; US$46.1 million for research; and US$93.7 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$4.1 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 Company’s investments are financed from its own resources and from third-parties.

Annex V – 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 andnon-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 available1
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.1
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 theBoard 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. In 2013, the members of the Board of Directors were granted stock-based compensation under the Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. However, this grant was cancelled on April 16, 2014. On March 10, 2016, the Board of Directors resolved to submit to the Shareholders’ Meeting the proposal to cancel the Stock Option Plan of Embraer S.A. extended to the members of the Board of Directors. On April 13, 2016, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the cancellation of this Program.
The members of theadvisory committees (Audit and Risks2, Human Resources3 and Strategies committees) 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 theStatutory Board of Executive Officers andNon-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. |
1 | Wording amended by Section 5 of CVM Instruction No. 586, dated June 8, 2017. |
2 | Known internally as the “Audit, Risk and Ethics Committee.” |
3 | Known internally as the “Personnel and Governance Committee.” |

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.
81
(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 is equivalent to a percentage of the Company’s operating profit, 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. |
(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 ExcellenceProgram.
The members of theFiscal 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.
The table below breaks down the compensation paid by the Company in the year ended December 31, 2018:

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 theBoard 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 ofadvisory committees (Audit and Risks4, Human Resources5 and Strategies committees) 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.

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.
83
The total compensation of theStatutory 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 ofpre-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
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.
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.
84
v. Existence of unpaid members
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 andnon-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.
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 andNon-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.

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.
85
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 2019.
h. Practices and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to determine the individual compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and Board of Executive Officers, indicating:6
i. | the bodies and committees of the Company that participate in the decision-making process, identifying how they participate. |
The objective of the Human Resources Committee (internally referred to as “Personnel and Governance Committee”), in accordance with its internal regulations, is to advise the Board of Directors in the determination and approval of the compensation and human resources policy of the Company, regarding compensation and benefits criteria, as well as the individual compensation of members of management.
ii. | criteria and methods used to determine individual compensation, informing whether studies to verify market practices are used, and if so, the comparison criteria and coverage of these studies. |
The criteria and methods used to determine individual compensation are described in item b) iii above.
iii. | the frequency and form of assessment used by the Board of Directors to evaluate the adequacy of the compensation policy of the company. |
The Board of Directors annually assesses the compensation policy of the Company, based on the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee, which recurrently includes this matter in the agenda of its meetings.

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 Human Resources 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.
94
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. The current capital stock of the Company totals 740,465,044 shares. As of December 31, 2018, the last two grants under the Stock Option Plan were in effect, granted on January 23, 2012 and March 20, 2013. From the total of 9,354,000 stock options granted, 2,275,990 stock options were cancelled and 6,141,302 stock options were exercised. A total of 936,708 stock options are still left to be exercised and are fully exercisable.
g. Maximum number of options to be granted
Same as item “f” above.
h. Vesting conditions of the options
As a general rule, the stock options vest as follows and in the following periods: (a) at the end of the third and fourth years, respectively, from the date of the grant of the call option (“Grant Date”), the participant will acquire the right to exercise a portion corresponding to 33% and 33%, respectively, of the shares of the stock option lot(s); and (b) at the end of the fifth year from the Grant Date, the participant will exercise the remaining 34% of shares of the stock option lot(s).
i. Criteria to determine the purchase or exercise price
The purchase price of the option to purchase the shares will be determined by the Board of Directors on the Grant Date, subject to the following principles: (a) the purchase price will be determined in BrazilianReais, based on the weighted average trading transactions with the shares of the Company on B3, in the last 60 trading days before the Grant Date; (b) the amount obtained according to the previous item may be, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, increased by up to 30% to adjust for the effect of movements that the Board of Directors deem to be speculative affecting the share price in the same period.
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.
95
j. Criteria to determine the exercise period
Once each portion of the stock option vests, the Participant may exercise it, in whole or in part, as a lump sum or in installments, up to the maximum of seven years from the Grant Date. The maximum period is consistent with thelong-term objectives mentioned in items “b” and “c.”
k. Form of settlement
The purchase price of the stock option will be paid at the moment of the relevant exercise, in BrazilianReais. The Board of Directors may establish other forms of settlement at the moment it grants the options.
l. Restriction on the transfer of shares
No restrictions on the transfer of shares apply once they have been exercised.
m. Criteria and events that, having occurred, cause the suspension, change or termination of the plan
In the event of dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the Stock Option Plan will be terminated and the granted options that have not been exercised at such time will be automatically terminated.
The existing Stock Option Plan and the granted stock options will not prevent corporate reorganization transactions involving the Company. The Board of Directors and the companies involved in such transactions will resolve on the applicable adjustments based on equity to protect the legitimate interests of the Participants.
n. Effects of the termination of office of members of management bodies of the company on their rights set forth in the stock-based compensation plan
In the event of termination of office of members of management of the Company due to permanent disability and death, the final date of the exercise of the stock option will be anticipated, so as not to exceed 12 months from the date of termination or death, as applicable. If the stock options are exercised, the participant or his or her successors, as applicable, must pay the purchase price in a lump sum, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors.
In the other cases of termination of office of members of management of the Company, the final date of the exercise period will be anticipated; not exceeding six months from the date of termination, and the purchase price must be paid in a lump sum, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors.

96
Phantom Shares Plan
a. Terms and general conditions
Executive officers and employees of the Company and executive officers (or individuals holding equivalent titles) and employees of the Company’s subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Phantom Shares Plan.
The Phantom Shares Plan grants “Virtual Shares” for participants. The Company will pay the amount of the Phantom Shares Plan, by converting the Virtual Shares intoReais based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the shares issued by the Company traded on B3 in the last 30 trading days immediately prior to the 10th day preceding the date on which the Board of Directors determined the respective amounts (also “Grant Date”).
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
The main objective of this Phantom Shares Plan is to retain and attract highly qualified personnel to the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
c. How the plan contributes to these objectives
The Phantom Shares Plan allows executives who can effectively contribute to the best performance of the Company and the increase of the price of the Company’s securities to share the profits derived from their contribution.
d. How the plan fits in the compensation policy of the company
The Phantom Shares Plan fits in the compensation policy of the Company as a potential long-term incentive.
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 thelong-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 BrazilianReais (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.

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.
97
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 targets set forth by the Company, which are, since 2017, tied to the corporate project to cut costs, whose measures 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 thelong-term objectives mentioned in items “b” and “c” above.

13.7 – Exercised options and delivered shares related to the stock-based compensation of the board of directors and statutory board of executive officers, in the last three fiscal years
According to the CVM’s guidelines, the tables below set forth information on our Stock Option Plan, which involves the grant of stock options, and our Phantom Shares Plan. However, we clarify again that our Phantom Shares Plan does not involve the effective delivery of shares, but rather a cash payment tied to the appreciation of the shares of the Company, operating as a basis for a certain number of Virtual Shares attributed to the participants. Accordingly, we set forth in the tables below the number of Virtual Shares indeed attributed to participants in each fiscal year and the market value of these shares used to make payments to participants, for which the payments are calculated based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the Company’s shares on B3 in the last ten trading days prior to the 15th day of the anniversary months of payment of the incentive.
We also clarify that the first grant under the Phantom Shares Plan occurred in 2014 and the first portion of payment under the Phantom Shares Plan can only be made after three years. Therefore, no payments were made in 2016. In connection with the payment made in 2017, set forth in the table below, we inform that, in accordance with the rules of the Phantom Shares Plan, the amounts correspond only to 33% of all Virtual Restricted Shares granted and maturing in 2017, as the amount related to the Virtual Performance Shares was not paid due to thenon-achievement of the established targets. In 2018, the payments of the second portion were made, i.e., 33% of the total Virtual Restricted Shares granted in 2014 and 33% related to the first portion of the total Virtual Restricted Shares granted in 2015. Total Virtual Performance Shares granted in 2015 will be paid in 2020.

13.8 – Information required to understand the data disclosed in items 13.5 to 13.7 – Pricing method of the shares and options
a. Pricing model
b. Data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average price of the shares, purchase price, expected volatility, life span of the option, expected dividends and risk-free interest rate
c. Method and assumptions used to incorporate the effects of early exercise
d. Form of determination of the expected volatility
e. Any other characteristic of the option incorporated into the measurement of its fair value
Under the Stock Option Plan, the purchase price of each stock option is determined on the grant date of the stock option by the weighted average of the price of the shares in the last 60 trading days, which may be adjusted by up to 30% to cancel any speculative movements. The participant will have a maximum period of five years to exercise the stock option regarding the grants made on April 30, 2010 and January 18, 2011. On January 10, 2012, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the change in the exercise period of the options to purchase shares to up to seven years from the Grant Date. According to this change, the participant will have a maximum period of seven years to exercise the stock option regarding the grants made on January 23, 2012 and March 20, 2013.
The fair value attributed to the stock options was determined based on the Black & Scholes pricing model. This model takes into account the value of the asset, the purchase price, time to exercise, probability of option to purchase shares being exercised, historical volatility based on the daily closing prices of shares in the last 60 trading days and the weighted interest rate for the period of each lot based on the Brazil interbank deposit rate (DI) published by B3. It is noteworthy that the time until exercise was measured in accordance with management decision and takes into account the end of the grace period as a calculation basis, in other words, the stock options are calculated for exercise periods of three, four and five years. The adoption of this premise has taken into account the understanding of management that the exercise of the option to purchase shares will occur at the end of each grace period due to the high liquidity and high expected gain for each share.

No corresponding text. | SECTION 66 –The Company may enter into agreements with, or approve indemnity policies covering the members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council, Board of Executive Officers and committees of the Company or its controlled companies, as well as the employees and agents that duly act under powers of attorney granted by the directors and executive officers of the Company or its controlled companies (“Beneficiaries”), for whom the Company agrees to bear or reimburse certain expenses, costs and damages effectively incurred by the Beneficiaries, during or after the period of their relationship with the Company, related to arbitration, judicial or administrative proceedings, involving acts practiced in the regular exercise of the Beneficiaries’ duties, from the date of their investiture or beginning of the employment relationship with the Company, as applicable.
PARAGRAPH 1 – Without prejudice to otherevents set forth in agreements or indemnity policies approved by the Board of Directors, the Company will not make disbursements in favor of Beneficiaries based on these agreements or indemnity policies in the following cases:
I.acts practiced outside the regular exercise of the Beneficiaries’ duties;
II.acts practiced by Beneficiaries in bad faith, intentionally, with gross fault or upon fraud;
III.acts practiced by Beneficiaries in their own interest or the interests of third parties, to the detriment of the corporate interest of the Company; or
IV.indemnifications resulting from the action for damages provided in Section 159 of Law No. 6,404/76 or reimbursement for losses provided in Section 11, paragraph 5, item II, of Law No. 6,385/76.
PARAGRAPH 2 – The indemnity agreements or policies must be adequately disclosed and provide for, without limitation:’s obligations set forth in these indemnity agreements or policies must be returned by Beneficiaries.
I. the applicable terms and conditions;
II. mechanisms to identify and handle conflicts of interest; and
III. the procedure to be adopted in the decision-making process about the execution of indemnity agreements by the Company and the payment of amounts by the Company.
PARAGRAPH 3 – In the cases that, after a final and unappealable judgment is rendered, it is confirmed that the act practiced by a Beneficiary is not indemnifiable pursuant to the indemnity agreement or policy approved by the Board of Directors, any amounts paid by the Company relating to this act based on the Beneficiary. | The proposed change, i.e., the inclusion of a new article (Article X – Indemnity Agreements) in the Bylaws of the Company seeks to expressly provide for the execution of indemnity agreements with directors, officers, member of the Fiscal Council and committees of the Company and its controlled companies, as well as employees and agents that duly act under powers of attorney granted by the directors and executive officers of the Company or its controlled companies.
Publicly-held companies usually include in the package of benefits offered to their directors and officers instruments that protect them from certain adverse consequences resulting from liabilities and duties attributed to directors and officers pursuant to applicable law, regulations or judicial orders. The main instrument used for this purpose is the civil liability insurance (“D&O insurance”).
However, recently, indemnity agreements have been increasingly used as an instrument to attract and retain members of management and other employees. These agreements are used complementarily and together with D&O insurance, filling any gaps left by the reduced coverage of D&O policies and seeking a more and comprehensive system to protect members of management and employees.
It is noteworthy that the proposed wording is in line with the Guiding Opinion (Parecer de Orientação) No. 38 of the CVM, which (i) recognized the standing of these indemnity agreement as instruments to attract and retain qualified professionals and (ii) made recommendations on procedures and remedies that companies must adopt to mitigate the risk of violation of fiduciary duties of members of management under the indemnity agreements. |
