1.    Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

São José dos Campos, August 17, 2021

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to invite you to attend, on first call, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting (“AGE” or “Meeting”) of Embraer S.A. (“Embraer” or “Company”), to be held on September 1st, 2021, at 11:00 am, exclusively by digital means.

In mid-2021, in line with the approval of Embraer’s new strategy for the 2021-2025 period, which prioritizes growth through global partnerships, innovation projects and business diversification, the Company announced, in official statements and press releases, its decision to add skills to the Strategy Committee, reinforcing its global vision and expertise in the commercial aviation business.

The aerospace sector continues to undergo a transformation in the face of the challenges of the pandemic, the arrival of new entrants and the development of innovative and sustainable technologies. Moreover, there is the increased competition in the commercial aviation sector and the trend of greater market receptivity for smaller aircraft.

New innovative and disruptive projects under development, such as the electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL), the new digital aircraft maintenance platform (Beacon) and the new generation turboprop aircraft, require new skills from our management. Embraer also foresees other opportunities for product diversification with internationalization, sustainability and innovation.

The eVTOL project, for example, contemplates a business combination that may result in a new publicly-held company in the United States, the main market of which will be in that country. The great market interest in the new generation turboprop aircraft leads us to intensify our efforts to develop this product. New challenges and great opportunities for Embraer.

In this scenario, Embraer’s management decided to accelerate and intensify its preparation to face the challenges in a structured and effective manner, through the immediate inclusion of new members in its Board of Directors.


It is with enthusiasm that we present in this Manual the proposal for the election of two independent candidates for the Board of Directors with extensive and recognized experience in the aerospace segment, deep technical and financial knowledge, strategic profile and focus on innovation, as well as broad corporate performance in companies and global markets.

It is in this spirit that Embraer’s management recommends the approval of the AGE matters contained in the Call Notice.

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 may clarify the matters on the agenda of the AGE.

We encourage your attendance in the Meeting, 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 Meeting

2.1.    Voting at the Meeting

Each common share will be entitled to one vote on the resolutions of the Meeting, subject to the following limits set forth in the Company’s Bylaws:

a)    No shareholder, or Shareholder 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 Shareholder Groups (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, jointly and successively, to the Foreign Shareholders and Foreign Shareholder Groups.

The votes of the Brazilian Shareholders and the Foreign Shareholders on the resolutions of the Meeting 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 of 40% the votes that may be cast in the Meeting.

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:

Shareholder Group – Shareholder Groups are two or more shareholders: (i) that are parties to a voting agreement, either directly or through companies that are subsidiaries, parent companies or companies under common control; (ii) where one shareholder is, directly or indirectly, a controlling shareholder or a controlling parent company of the other shareholder or shareholders; (iii) that are companies directly or indirectly controlled by the same person, or group of persons, who may or may not be shareholders themselves; or (iv) that are companies, associations, foundations, cooperatives and trusts, investment funds or portfolios, universal rights or any other form of organization or undertaking with the same administrators or managers, or, whose administrators or managers are companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by the same person, or group of persons, which may or may not be shareholders.

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 Shareholder Group.

 

4


The holders of securities issued under the Company’s Depositary Receipts program are not considered a Shareholder Group, unless they meet any of the criteria set forth in items (i) through (iv) above.

Any shareholders or Shareholder Groups that are represented by the same proxy, administrator or attorney in fact, shall be deemed members of the same Shareholder 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 Shareholder Group for purposes of the limitation on the number of votes described above.

Foreign Shareholder Group – A Shareholder Group will be considered foreign whenever one or more of its members is a Foreign Shareholder.

Brazilian Shareholders – The following are Brazilian Shareholders: (i) individuals born or naturalized in Brazil, residing in Brazil or abroad; (ii) legal entities organized under Brazilian private law and having their management based in Brazil, and which: a) have no foreign controlling shareholder or foreign parent company, unless the latter falls under item “b” of this definition; b) are controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more individuals referred to in item (i) of this definition; and (iii) investment funds or clubs organized under the laws of Brazil and having their management based in Brazil and whose administrators and/or majority unitholders are persons referred to in items (i) and (ii) of this definition.

Foreign Shareholders – Foreign Shareholders are individuals, legal entities, investment funds or clubs and any other entities not included in the definition of Brazilian Shareholders, and those that fail to prove that they meet the requirements to be registered as Brazilian Shareholders, pursuant to paragraph 2 of Section 10 of the Company’s Bylaws.

2.2.    Participation through electronic remote participation system in the Meeting

The Meeting will be held exclusively by digital means and, therefore, the Company shall provide an electronic remote participation system (Microsoft Teams) that will allow shareholders to participate, voice and vote in the Meeting without being physically present.

This remote participation system is in line with CVM Instruction No. 622 and allows, among other things: (i) discussion and simultaneous access to documents presented during the Meeting that have not been previously made available; (ii) the complete recording of the Meeting by the Company; and (iii) communication between shareholders.

4.    Management’s Proposal on the Agenda

4.1.    To resolve on the amendment to the Bylaws to insert a transitional provision to: (a) only for the 2021/2023 biennium, provide that the Company’s Board of Directors shall have 10 effective members elected in accordance with paragraph 3 of Section 27 of the Bylaws (in addition to the provisions contained in paragraphs 1 and 2 of such Section); and (b) authorize the election of 2 additional members of the Board of Directors, exceptionally, on an individual basis and not through the slate system provided for in the Company’s Bylaws.

In mid-2021, in line with the approval of Embraer’s new strategy for the 2021-2025 period, which prioritizes growth through global partnerships, innovation projects and business diversification, the Company announced, in official statements and press releases, its decision to add skills to the Strategy Committee, reinforcing its global vision and expertise in the commercial aviation business.

The aerospace sector continues to undergo a transformation in the face of the challenges of the pandemic, the arrival of new entrants and the development of innovative and sustainable technologies. Moreover, there is the increased competition in the commercial aviation sector and the trend of greater market receptivity for smaller aircraft.

New innovative and disruptive projects under development, such as the electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL), the new digital aircraft maintenance platform (Beacon) and the new generation turboprop aircraft, require new skills from our management. Embraer also foresees other opportunities for product diversification with internationalization, sustainability and innovation.

The eVTOL project, for example, contemplates a business combination that will result in a new publicly-held company in the United States, the main market of which will be in that country. The great market interest in the new generation turboprop aircraft leads us to intensify our efforts to develop this product. New challenges and great opportunities for Embraer.

In this scenario, Embraer’s management decided to accelerate and intensify its preparation to face the challenges in a structured and effective manner, through the immediate inclusion of new members in its Board of Directors.

It is in this spirit that the Management proposes the temporary increase of Embraer’s Board of Directors (only until the 2023 AGO), as well as the immediate election of 2 new foreign effective members with recognized global experience in the aviation sector.

The table below details the matrix of the main skills of Embraer’s current Board of Directors, and highlights the additional skills to be added by the two new independent candidates for the Board:

The skills and qualifications matrix above highlights the main areas and skills of the current members of Embraer’s Board of Directors, in addition to highlighting the skills of the two new independent candidates for the body. Analyzing the matrix, we emphasize that the two new candidates add vast industry knowledge to Embraer, with a notable expertise in the international aviation sector, both in technical and financial aspects, as well as in industry relationships and customer service and support. Such expertise is seen as critical and essential to enhance the skills of our Board at Embraer’s current moment, making it even more fit to face the recent changes in our industry and leverage opportunities for new businesses, products and markets for the Company.

 

12


The management’s proposal consists of amending the Bylaws to insert the following transitional provision, through the inclusion of Sections 64 and 65, as well as authorizing the election of 2 additional effective members for the Board of Directors, exceptionally, on an individual basis and not and not through the slate system provided for in the Company’s Bylaws:

“ARTICLE XI – TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS

Section 64. Only for the 2021/2023 biennium, the Company’s Board of Directors shall have 10 members elected in accordance with paragraph 3 of Section 27 of the Bylaws (in addition to the provisions contained in paragraphs 1 and 2 of such Section). The 2 additional effective members shall be elected, by the shareholders, at a Shareholder’s Meeting, exceptionally, on an individual basis and not through the slate system.

Section 65. Section 64 hereof shall lose its effectiveness as soon as the term of office of the Board of Directors for the biennium 2021/2023 ends.”

Embraer’s Management recommends that its shareholders carefully examine the copy of the proposed Bylaws and the report with the proposed amendments, which constitute Annexes I and II to this Manual, pursuant to section 11, items I and II, CVM Instruction No. 481/09.

4.2.    Elect the 2 effective members of the Board of Directors, in the event the amendment to the Bylaws mentioned in item 4.1 above is approved

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 64 and 65 of Embraer’s Bylaws, proposed above, the 2 effective members of the Board of Directors shall be elected by the shareholders, exceptionally, on an individual basis (and not through the slate system) for the term that will end at the AGO to take place in 2023.

In this regard, the Board of Directors resolved to present to the Shareholders’ Meeting the following names to integrate the body: Todd M. Freeman and Kevin G. McAllister. The Management selected the independent candidates as a result of their recognized expertise in the aerospace segment, deep technical and financial knowledge, strategic profile and focus on innovation, as well as broad corporate performance in companies and global markets.

Todd Freeman worked for 29 years at General Electric Company, including 18 years at GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), eventually leading the regional aviation area as well as the business in the Middle East, Africa and Russia region. Prior to GE, Todd worked at Airbus Americas and JP Morgan. He has a degree in Accounting, with an MBA in Finance and Strategy.

Also with an extensive career at GE, with 27 years dedicated to the field of aircraft engines, Kevin McAllister led the sales area and was president of GE Aviation Services. After GE, he served at Boeing as President of the Commercial Aviation Division and is currently a partner at AP Industrial Partners. He is an engineer graduated from the University of Pittsburgh.

 

13


It should also be noted that, (i) according to the statements provided by the candidates, they meet the independence criteria provided for in the Novo Mercado regulation, a segment in which the shares issued by the Company are traded, and, therefore, 100% of the members indicated above would be Independent Directors, under the terms of the Novo Mercado regulations, if elected/reelected, and (ii) the candidates are in compliance with the guidelines of the Nomination and Training Policy for Members of the Company’s Board of Directors and Committees.

The information indicated in items 12.5 to 12.10 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência) with respect to the aforementioned independent candidates are available in Annex III to this Manual, in compliance with the provisions of section 10 of CVM Instruction 481/09.

Annex II – REPORT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS

(Pursuant to Section 11, item II, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09)

COMPARATIVE TABLE OF THE BYLAWS

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS OF EMBRAER

Report detailing the origin and justification for the proposed changes and analyzing their legal and economic effects:

 

Current
Bylaws

  

Proposed Amendments to the Bylaws

  

Justification/Comments

N/A    Section 64. Only for the 2021/2023 biennium, the Company’s Board of Directors shall have 10 members elected in accordance with paragraph 3 of Section 27 of the Bylaws (in addition to the provisions contained in paragraphs 1 and 2 of such Section). The 2 additional effective members shall be elected, by the shareholders, at a Shareholder’s Meeting, exceptionally, on an individual basis and not through the slate system.   

In mid-2021, in line with the approval of Embraer’s new strategy for the 2021-2025 period, which prioritizes growth through global partnerships, innovation projects and business diversification, the Company announced, in official statements and press releases, its decision to add skills to the Strategy Committee, reinforcing its global vision and expertise in the commercial aviation business.

 

The aerospace sector continues to undergo a transformation in the face of the challenges of the pandemic, the arrival of new entrants and the development of innovative and sustainable technologies. Moreover, there is the increased competition in the commercial aviation sector and the trend of greater market receptivity for smaller aircraft.

 

New innovative and disruptive projects under development, such as the electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle (eVTOL), the new digital aircraft maintenance platform (Beacon) and the new generation turboprop aircraft, call for new skills from our management. Embraer also foresees other opportunities for product diversification with internationalization, sustainability and innovation.

 

The eVTOL project, for example, contemplates a business combination that will result in a new

 

46


     

publicly-held company in the United States, the main market of which will be in that country. The great market interest in the new generation turboprop aircraft leads us to intensify our efforts to develop this product. New challenges and great opportunities for Embraer.

 

In this scenario, Embraer’s management decided to accelerate and intensify its preparation to face the challenges in a structured and effective manner, through the immediate inclusion of new members in its Board of Directors.

 

It is in this spirit that the Management proposes the temporary increase of Embraer’s Board of Directors (only until the 2023 AGO), as well as the immediate election of 2 new foreign effective members with recognized global experience in the aviation sector.

Such rule does not have an economic effect on the Company.

 

N/A    Section 65. Section 64 hereof shall lose its effectiveness as soon as the term of office of the Board of Directors for the biennium 2021/2023 ends.   

Management understands that the need to increase the number of directors is transitory and is due to the peculiar moment of the Company and its projects.

 

Such rule does not have an economic effect on the Company.
