Exhibit 30-XXXVI

Trading of Company’s Own Shares

 

 

1.   Justify in detail the objective and expected economic effects of the transaction

 

The purpose of the transaction is the Company’s acquisition of preferred shares issued by the Company to comply with the Restricted Shares Plan approved at the General Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company held on October 19, 2012 (" Plan "). Under the terms of the Plan, the Company's Board of Directors approved, at a meeting held on August 11, 2015, the granting of stock options to beneficiaries, with the vesting period of three (3) years ending in April 2018, resulting in the Company’s obligation to deliver 1,014,269 preferred shares to the Plan’s beneficiaries.

 

The Company currently holds 278,612 preferred shares in treasury, with a deficit of 735,657 preferred shares to comply with the Plan, which led management to consider alternatives to comply with the Plan. After analyzing these alternatives, and based on the recommendation of the Company’s Corporate Governance and Personnel Management Committee, the Board of Directors approved this Repurchase Program.

 

The Program will be implemented based on the use of the Company's Capital Reserve, with an estimated cost for the acquisition of the preferred shares subject to the Program and related expenses between R$ 14,5 million and R$ 17 million.

The Company may acquire up to 740,000 (seven hundred and forty thousand) preferred shares of its own issuance.

Not applicable, considering that the transactions will be traded on a stock exchange.

 


 
 

b. If applicable, state the reasons justifying the transaction at prices 10% (ten percent) higher, in the case of an acquisition, or 10% (ten percent) lower, in the case of a sale, of the average of the quoted price, weighted by volume, in the previous 10 (ten) trading sessions

 

Not applicable, considering that the transactions will be traded on a stock exchange.

 

7.   Inform the impacts that the negotiation will have on the composition of the share control or the administrative structure of the company, if any

 

Not applicable, considering that the Company understands that the negotiation will not impact the shareholding composition or the administrative structure of the Company.

 

8.   Identify the counterparties, if known, and, if they are related parties of the company, as such term is defined by the accounting rules regarding the matter, disclose the information required by article 8 of CVM Instruction 481 dated December 17, 2009

 

Not applicable, considering that the Company will carry out the transactions on the stock Exchange and is not aware who the counterparties in such transactions will be.

 

9.   Indicate the use of proceeds, if any

 

Not applicable, considering that the Company will not receive any proceeds, considering that the shares to be acquired will be held in treasury and will be used for purposes of compliance with the Restricted Shares Plan approved by the General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company held on October 19, 2012 and the grants made by the Board of Directors at the meeting held August 11, 2015.

 

 


 
 

 

 

10.             Indicate the deadline for the liquidation of the approved transactions

 

The acquisition of shares under the terms of the Program may be performed during a 12 day period, beginning on April 11, 2018 and ending on April 23, 2018.

 

11.             Identify the institutions that will act as intermediaries, if any

 

The following financial institutions will act as intermediaries for the transactions involving the acquisition of shares: CoinValores CCVM Ltda. and CM Capital Markets CCTVM Ltda.

 

12.             Specify the resources available that will be used, as provided in article 7, § 1 of CVM Instruction 567 dated September 17, 2015

 

The acquisition of preferred shares for purposes of the Program is subject to the limit of the total amount of the account “Capital Reserve” of the Company eligible for the repurchase of shares, according to the terms of the Corporations Act.

 

13.             Specify the reasons that make the members of the Board of Directors feel comfortable  that the repurchase of shares will not harm the compliance with the obligations undertaken with creditors or the obligations regarding mandatory, fixed or minimum dividends

 

The members of the Board of Directors of the Company are comfortable with the repurchase of shares and they believe that the repurchase will not harm compliance with obligations undertaken by the Company with creditors and the obligations regarding mandatory dividends, since the financial condition and the liquidity of the Company allow the disbursement of the amounts required for the repurchase. Additionally, the contractual obligations of the Company under the Plan would require, in any case, the delivery of shares or the payment in cash of equivalent amounts, so that the Company would be required to do a disbursement potentially higher, if it decided to opt to honor the obligations undertaken under the Plan in cash. For this reason, the Board of Directors believes that the repurchase is made taking into consideration the economic interest of creditors or shareholders.
