5.2.6. Calculation of Compensatory Interest shall observe the following formula:
J = VNe x (FatorJuros - 1)
where:
J = unit value of the Compensatory Interest, due on each Date of Payment of Compensatory Interest, calculated with eight (8) decimal places, not rounded up or down;
12
VNe = Unit Par Value, informed/calculated with eight (8) decimal places, not rounded up or down;
FatorJuros = Interest factor composed of the variation parameter, plus spread (surcharge), calculated with nine (9) decimal places, rounded up or down, as follows:
FatorJuros = FatorDI x FatorSpread
Where:
FatorDI = product of the DI-Over Rates, from the First Date of Subscription and Full Payment or the immediately preceding date of payment of Compensatory Interest, as the case may be, inclusive, until the calculation date, exclusive, calculated with eight (8) decimal places, rounded up or down, as follows:
where:
n = total number of DL-Over Rates considered in the calculation of the product, where “n” is an integral number;
k = Corresponds to the number of order of the DI-Over Rates, ranging from 1 to n;
TDIk = DI-Over Rate, of k order, expressed daily, calculated with eight (8) decimal places, rounded up or down, ascertained as follows:
where:
DIk = DI-Over Rate, of k order, disclosed by B3 - Cetip UTVM Segment, expressed as a percentage per year, used with two (2) decimal places;
FatorSpread = Surcharge, calculated with nine (9) decimal places, rounded up or down, as follows:
Where:
spread = (i) up to one integer, one thousand and five hundred tenth of thousandths (1.1500), for First Series Debentures; (ii) one integer, one thousand and five hundred tenth of thousandths (1.1500), for Second Series Debentures; (iii) one integer, one thousand
13
and five hundred tenth of thousandths (1.1500), for Third Series Debentures; or (iv) one integer, one thousand and five hundred tenth of thousandths (1.1500), for Fourth Series Debentures; and
n = number of Business Days between the First Date of Subscription and Full Payment or the immediately preceding date of payment of the Compensatory Interest, as the case may be, and the calculation date, with “n” being an integral number.
Notes:
1) The factor resulting from the expression (1 + TDIk) is considered with sixteen (16) decimal places, not rounded up or down.
2) The product of the factors (1 + TDIk) is obtained, and for each accrued factor, the result is truncated with sixteen (16) decimal places, applying the next daily factor and so on, until the last one to be considered.
3) Once the factors are accrued, the resulting “DI Factor” is considered with eight (8) decimal places, rounded up or down.
4) The factor resulting from the expression (Fator DI x FatorSpread) shall be considered with nine (9) decimal places, rounded up or down.
5) The DI Rate shall be used considering an identical number of decimal places disclosed by the entity responsible for calculating it.
5.2.7. For purposes of this Issue Indenture, “Capitalization Period” is, for the first Capitalization Period, the interval of time starting on the First Date of Subscription and Full Payment and ending on the first Date of Payment of Compensatory Interest, and for the other Capitalization Periods, the interval of time starting on a Date of Payment of Compensatory Interest and ending on the subsequent Date of Payment of Compensatory Interest.

1.1.29. If there is no agreement regarding the Replacement Rate between Issuer and the Debenture Holders gathered at a General Debenture Holders Meeting, representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total Outstanding First Series Debentures, two-thirds (2/3) of the total Outstanding Second Series Debentures, two-thirds (2/3) of the total Outstanding Third Series Debentures, and two-thirds (2/3) of the total Outstanding Fourth Series Debentures, or in case of lack of quorum for convening the meeting at second (2nd) call, in compliance with the provisions in Clause 10.3 hereof, as the case may be, Issuer shall redeem in advance, and consequently cancel in advance the entirety of the First Series Debentures, Second Series Debentures, Third Series Debentures and Fourth Series Debentures, as the case may be, without paying a fine or premium of any kind, within thirty (30) consecutive days after the date when the respective General First Series Debenture Holders Meeting, General Second Series Debenture Holders Meeting, General Third Series Debenture Holders Meeting and General Fourth Series Debenture Holders Meeting is held, or on the date when they should have been held, as the case may be, at the Unit Par Value, plus the Compensatory Interest of the respective series, calculated pro rata temporis, from the immediately preceding First Date of Subscription and Full Payment or Date of Payment of Compensatory Interest of the respective series, as the case may be, until the date of actual payment of the redemption and consequent cancellation set forth in this item 5.2.11. In such alternative, in order to calculate the Compensatory Interest applicable to the First Series Debentures, Second Series Debentures, Third Series Debentures and Fourth Series Debentures to be redeemed and consequently canceled, for each day of the DI Rate Absence Period, the formula set forth in item 5.2.6 above shall be used, and for the “TDIk” ascertainment, the latest officially disclosed DI Rate shall be used.
1.1.29. Any holders of First Series Debentures, Second Series Debentures, Third Series Debentures and Fourth Series Debentures, as the case may be, at the end of the Business
15
Day prior to each Date of Payment of Compensatory Interest (as defined below) shall be entitled to the payments set forth in this clause.
