1. Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

São José dos Campos, March 26, 2021

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 26, 2021, at 10:00 am, to be held at the Company’s headquarters located at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 2170, building F-100, 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 the Novo 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 voting 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 least two-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 Meetings, 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

2.1.    Voting 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 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 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 of 40% the 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:

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.

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.

Ivan Mendes do Carmo is appointed as Chairman and José Mauro Laxe Vilela is appointed as Vice-Chairman of the Fiscal Council.

We emphasize that any shareholder, or group of shareholders, that does not comply with the legal deadline to appoint a slate of candidates on the distance voting ballot (boletim de voto à distância) and wishes to appoint an alternative slate for the Fiscal Council, must notify Embraer in this regard, in writing, up to ten (10) days before the Meetings, setting forth the information related to the candidates included in items 12.5 to 12.10 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência), pursuant to Section 10 of CVM Instruction No. 481/09, as well as the name, identification and professional curriculum of each candidate, attaching to the notice an instrument signed by each candidate confirming his or her acceptance to run for election. Embraer will publish, within eight (8) days before the Meetings, a notice informing shareholders where they can find the list of all proposed candidates and a copy of their identification and professional curriculum.

Each shareholder may only vote for one slate of candidates and the candidates in the slate who receive the highest number of votes at the Meetings will be declared elected.

The information included in items 12.5 to 12.10 of the Brazilian Annual Report related to the slate of candidates proposed by the Fiscal Council is set forth in Annex IV hereto, in compliance with Section 10 of CVM Instruction No. 481/09.

4.6.    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$ 65 million for the period between May 2021 and April 2022.

The aggregate compensation proposed herein is lower to the amount approved by shareholders at the 2020 Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings, in reason of the non inclusion of the employer`s payroll charges, according to the understanding of CVM’s Board of Commissioners in Proceeding No. 19957.007457/2018-10, included in SEP Official Letter No. 01/21 (Ofício SEP No. 01/21). In effect, the aggregate compensation of the Company`s management is being presented herein net of the employer’s payroll charges, which are not covered by the concept of “benefit of any kind” referred to in Sectio 152 of Law No. 6,404 / 76.

Please also note that the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held in 2020 approved an aggregate limit as compensation to members of the management of R$69 million, and the estimated amount to be effectively realized until April 2021 is approximately R$ 38 million as gross amount and R$ 31 million without the inclusion of the employer`s payroll charges. The difference between the approved limit and the realized amount primarily results (I) from the failure to achieve the maximum variable compensation set forth for members of the management due to the non-fulfillment of Company targets; (ii) the cancellation of the business combination by Boeing, resulting in the non-payment of the transaction closing bonus.

Table of Contents

Finally, it should be noted that the amount subject to approval refers to the period between May 2021 and April 2022, while item 13.2 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência) reflects the period between January and December 2021.

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.

4.7.    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$13,500.00 for the other members of the Fiscal Council for the period between May 2021 and April 2022, with an increase of R$250.00 in the individual compensation of each member of the Fiscal Council in compliance with the legislation in force.

Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting:

4.8.    To review and resolve on the amendment to the Bylaws to change the name of the Strategy Committee and the People and Governance Committee.

The Board of Directors and Committees thereof work to constantly improve the Company’s corporate governance. In 2020, innovation and ESG issues were even more intensively discussed by the Committees. In order to reflect the importance of these issues in the governance of the Committees, Embraer’s Management proposes an amendment to Section 34 of the Company’s Bylaws to (i) change the name of the Strategy Committee to Strategy and Innovation Committee, and (ii) change the name of the People and Governance Committee to People and ESG Committee.

Embraer’s management recommends its shareholders to carefully review the 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.

4.9.    To review and resolve on the amendment to the Bylaws to include among the powers of the Board of Directors capital contributions to directly or indirectly controlled companies, affiliates, consortiums, joint ventures and/or any entities of any nature.

Embraer’s management proposes the amendment of Section 33 of the Company’s Bylaws to include among the powers of the Board of Directors capital contributions to directly or indirectly controlled companies, affiliates, consortiums, joint ventures and/or any entities of any nature.

4.10.    To record that it is incumbent on the Board of Executive Officers to approve the direct or indirect holding by the Company of an ownership interest in other companies and the sale of such ownership interest, in both case for companies of the same group of the Company.

Embraer’s management proposes the amendment of Section 41, item IX, of the Company`s Bylaws to expressly state that is incumbent on the Board of Executive Officers to approve the direct or indirect holding by the Company of an ownership interest in other companies and the sale of such ownership interest, in both case for companies of the same group of the Company.

Embraer’s management recommends its shareholders to carefully review the 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.

Embraer’s management proposes the restatement of the Bylaws due to the approved amendments in the items above.

Embraer’s management recommends its shareholders to carefully review the 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.

4.12.    To examine, discuss and approve the terms and conditions of the Protocol and Justification for the Merger of Savis Tecnologia e Sistemas S.A. (“Savis”) into the Company (“Protocol and Justification”and “Merger of Savis”, respectively), entered into by the executive officers of the Company and of Savis.

The Board of Directors of Embraer recommends that its shareholders carefully examine the terms and conditions of the Protocol and Justification for the Merger of Savis into the Company (“Protocol and Justification”), entered into by the Company’s management and Savis, and, if the shareholders agree, approve the aforementioned Protocol and Justification.

It should be noted that, on the date hereof and at the time of the merger, the Company is and shall continue to be the owner of 100% of the shares representing Savis’ capital stock and that the aforementioned merger, therefore, reflects only a corporate reorganization, in order to streamline operations, optimize management and minimize expenses. The merger of Savis will not result in an increase or decrease in the Company’s shareholders’ equity, given that 100% of the shares representing Savis’ capital stock are owned by the Company, and, to the extent that the Savis’ shareholders’ equity is already fully reflected in the shareholders’ equity of the Company, due to the application of the equity method.

Annex I – MANAGEMENT’S CONSIDERATIONS

(Information set forth in Section 9, item III, of CVM Instruction No. 481/09)

10.1 – General 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, 2020, 2019 e 2018.

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 Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

The financial information included in items 10.1 through 10.9 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and notes thereto. The Company`s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and ratified by the Brazilian Securities Comission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários - CVM), including the pronouncements issued by the Brazilian Accounting Practice Committee (CPC), the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

On February 26, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the strategic partnership between the Company and The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), a partnership that was unduly terminated by Boeing on April 25, 2020. On that date, Boeing notified Embraer of its decision to terminate the Master Transaction Agreement (“MTA”), based on the claim by Boeing that certain conditions for closing the transaction set forth in the MTA had not been met by Embraer until the expiration date of the MTA, on April 24, 2020. In addition, Boeing terminated the Contribution Agreement. Embraer firmly believes that Boeing has wrongly terminated the MTA and the Contribution Agreement and that Boeing was under an obligation to continue to comply with the terms of those agreements. Embraer firmly believes that it has fulfilled all of its contractual obligations under the MTA and the Contribution Agreement.

Due to the approval of the transaction (as defined in item 10.3 below), from February 26, 2019 to April 25, 2020, the set of audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 included the classification of the assets and liabilities related to the Commercial Aviation business unit and related services as “held for sale” and its results as “discontinued operation”. Due to the unexpected and undue cancellation of the strategic partnership by Boeing on April 25, 2020, as of this date, the Company ceased to designate and measure the assets and liabilities associated with the Commercial Aviation business and related services as “held for sale” and the results thereof as “discontinued operations”, which were reclassified to “maintained for continuous use” and “continuing operations”.

Table of Contents

The income statement for the comparative year ended December 31, 2018 has been restated to show the results of continuing operations separately from the discontinued operation since the beginning of the comparative period. Until April 25, 2020, Embraer and Boeing continued to be subject to their respective obligations under the MTA (as defined in item 10.3 of this Brazilian Annual Report) for the conclusion of the transaction, therefore, Embraer maintained the classification of the assets of the Commercial Aviation business unit and related services as “held for sale” and “discontinued operations” as of December 31, 2019.

In 2020, the income statement for the comparative year ended December 31, 2019 has been restated due to the termination of the transaction with Boeing. For more information on the terminated strategic partnership with Boeing and on assets held for sale and discontinued operations on December 31, 2019, and the respective accounting impacts on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, see item 10.3.

The functional currency of a company is the currency of the main economic environment in which it is inserted, since that 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 the raising or receiving of financial resources. In this context, the management, after analyzing Embraer’s transactions and business, concluded that the US dollar (“US$” or “Dollar”) is its functional currency.

Sources of funds for working capital and investments in non-current assets that the Company intends to use to cover liquidity deficiencies

The Company has a financial management policy, approved by the board of directors, the purpose of which is to establish the guidelines applicable to all business areas, focusing on the management of corporate finance, including the management of cash flow and capital structure, in order to set out the risks associated with financial transactions and any liquidity deficiencies.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled R$9,768.1 million, R$9,301.6 million e R$4,963.0 million as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively, as set forth in the analysis below:

Net Cash Generated in Operating Activities

In 2020, operating cash generation was negative by R$6,512.2 million, compared to the positive operating cash generation of R$3,749.3 million in 2019, primarily due to the significant reduction in the balance of Financial Investments, Customer Financing, Accounts receivable, Inventories and Other Assets combined with an increase in Trade accounts payable, Contract Liabilities and Taxes payable, added to the Net Loss recorded in 2020. In 2019, cash generated in operating activities totaled R$3,749.3 million, representing a 6.6% decrease compared to the cash generated in operating activities totaling R$4,012.7 million in 2018, mainly due to the decrease in the balance of Financial investments and Contract assets, Inventories and Guarantee deposits combined with an increase in Trade accounts payable, Non-recourse and recourse debt. Moreover, there was a reduction in net income, excluding the effects of non-cash items.

Net cash used in investing activities

In 2020, cash used in investment activities totaled R$943.3 million, compared to the cash flow from investment activities of R$1,588.7 million in 2019. The main variations between years were due to the lower volume of redemption of financial investments and negative balance in the Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and Additions to intangible assets accounts in 2020.

In 2019, cash generated in investment activities totaled R$1,588.7 million, compared to cash used in investment activities of R$1,915.3 million in 2018. The main variations between years occurred in relation to the redemption of investments and additions to property, plant and equipment, relating to the costs of separating the assets and liabilities of the Commercial Aviation business unit and related services, regarding the strategic partnership between Embraer and Boeing, which is currently terminated.

Net cash used in financing activities

The volume of cash generated in financing activities in 2020 totaled R$5,241.8 million, compared to the cash used in financing activities of R$1,026.4 million in 2019, primarily influenced by the significant increase (610.7%) in Proceeds from borrowings, which was partially offset by the credit facilities repaid, as there was a 122.3% increase in repayment of borrowings in 2020.

The volume of cash used in financing activities in 2019 totaled R$1,026.4 million, compared to the cash used in financing activities of R$1,885.9 million in 2018, primarily due to the higher proportion of Repayment of borrowings, when compared to the amount of Proceeds from borrowings in 2018.

10.2 – Operating and Financial Results

(a)    Results of the issuer’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 executive aircraft deliveries; (2) the mix of deliveries of light and large jets for 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 of aircrafts, parts and material supply, training, modifications, flight operation, technical and field support etc; (5) the entry into service of new products; and (6) revenue from the Defense & Security segment.

The charts below show the total revenue of the Company by business unit and geographic region. It should be noted that the Commercial Aviation segment accounts for most of the revenue of the Company, followed by Executive Aviation, Services & Support and Defense & Security. From a geographic point of view, revenue from North America was 67.3% and showed growing for the third consecutive year and has remained as the main consumer market of Embraer’s products and services, especially in relation to Executive Aviation and Commercial Aviation with the E175 jets, as a result of the success of the various sales campaigns launched in the United States in recent years, where the Company obtained the vast majority of all orders for 76-seat jets. The European market had a slight drop in revenue and accounts for 14.2% of the Company’s revenue in 2020. Brazil’s market maintained relatively stable and achived 10.1% of the revenue in 2020. Revenue from Asia-Pacific decreased from 6.5% in 2019 to 4.4% in 2020, and in Latin America, the contibution was 2.0% lightely higher than 1.0% of the previous period. For the other markets the variation was 2.4% in 2019 to 1,9% in 2020.

In 2020, the operating income and operating margin (EBIT) were R$ (1.681,0) million and (8,6)%, respectively. The operating income and margin of the period include the total negative impact of special items on the amount of R$ (1.157,3) millions, as follows: 1) R$ (372,8) millions of restructuring expenses related to the adjustment of the workforce; 2) R$ (255,3) million of loss of credit provision expected during the pandemic; 3) R$ 5,5 million of impairment reversion in Commercial Aviation, which positively impacted the operating income; 4) R$ 49,0 million of impairment reversion in Executive Aviation, which also positively impacted the operating income ; 5) R$ 19,8 million of impairment in Defense & Security ; 6) R$ (542,6) million related to the recognition of depreciation and amortization in Commercial Aviation related to the period where the Commercial Aviation and its related services were recognized as held for sale e; 7) R$ (21,3) million in negative variations on the equity hold by Embraer in the Republic Airways Holdings.

In the period, the adjusted EBIT of Embraer, excluding the total net negative impact of special items of R$ (1.157,3) million was R$ (523,7) million, generating an adjusted margin EBIT of -2.7%. This is comparable to the EBIT of R$ (15.6) million and margin EBIT of -0.1%. The decrease of the adjusted EBIT in 2020 was driven by the decline in the Commercial Aviation and Services & Support sectors, which are the business units most negatively impacted by the impacts of Covid-19.

(b)     Variations in revenues attributable to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services

In 2020, Embraer delivered 130 aircraft in the Commercial Aviation and Executive Aviation segments, which is less than the 198 aircraft delivered in such segments in the previous year. In the period, deliveries were strongly impacted, especially in Commercial Aviation, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Together, as a counterpoint there was a positive impact of revenues in reais due to the average depreciation of 31% of the Real in the period, what generated net revenue of R$ 11.410.0 million for such two business sectors.

In 2020, net revenue from the Commercial Aviation business totaled R$5,087.0 million, representing a 34.9% decrease compared to the R$8,924.8 million in 2019. The number of aircraft delivered in the segment was 44 in 2020 and 89 in 2019, due to the negative impact caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to affect the world and especially the commercial air travel segment.

Revenue from the Executive Aviation business totaled R$5,602.9 million in 2020, representing a slight decrease compared to the R$ 5,641.1 recorded in the previous year, despite the lower number of deliveries in 2020, which was 30 large jets and 56 light jets, totaling 86 executive jets, compared to 62 light jets and 47 large jets delivered in 2019, totaling 109 jets.

Net revenue from the Defense & Security business totaled R$3,453.3 million, 52.1% higher than the R$2,270.0 million in 2019, mainly due to the depreciation of the Real against the dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency.

The Services & Support business generated R$4,719.4 million in revenue in 2020, presenting a 4.3% decrease compared to the R$ 4,929.2million in the previous year, mainly due to the exchange rate variation described above. Revenue from Service & Support considers revenue of the segment for the Business Units, Commercial Aviation, Executive and Defense.

Other businesses generated R$59.2 million in revenue in 2020, which is 59.5% higher than the R$37.0 million generated in 2019.

In 2019, Embraer delivered 198 aircraft in the Commercial Aviation and Executive Aviation segments, more than the 181 aircraft delivered in such segments in the previous year, which, combined with the average depreciation of 13% in the Real in the period, generated a total net revenue of R$21,802.1, which is within the Company’s estimates and above the R$18,721.6 million generated in 2018.

In 2019, net revenue for the Commercial Aviation business totaled R$ 8,924.8 million, which is 2.5% higher than the R$8,706.1 million in 2018. This small increase is mainly due to the exchange variation that occurred in the period, which favored revenues in Reais. Deliveries in the segment totaled 90 aircraft in 2018 and 89 aircraft in 2019, remaining practically stable.

Revenue from the Executive Aviation business totaled R$ 5,641.1 million in 2019, representing a 34.9% increase compared to R$4,181.6 in the previous year. In addition to the exchange rate variation mentioned above, the biggest contributor to this expressive growth was the largest number of deliveries in 2019, which was 109 executive jets, with emphasis on the delivery of 47 large jets (in addition to the 62 light jets) in relation to the 91 executive jets (64 light jets and 27 large jets) delivered in 2018.

Table of Contents

Net revenue from the Defense & Security business totaled R$ 2,270.0 million, which is 3.2% higher than the R$2,198.6 million in 2018. Net revenue in 2018 was reduced as a result of the base review of the KC-390 aircraft development contract, given the incident that occurred in May of that year, involving the 001 prototype that went off the runway while conducting ground tests.

The Services & Support business generated R$ 4.929.2 million in revenue in 2019, representing a 37.8% increase compared to the R$3,577.8 million in the previous year, mainly due to the exchange rate variation. This revenue includes the three segments of the Company: Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation and Defense. As already described above, the services business of the Commercial Aviation is presented as a discontinued operation together with the assets, liabilities and results of the Commercial Aviation in our financial statements, and the Executive Aviation and Defense services business is presented as continuing operations.

Other businesses generated R$37.0 million in revenue in 2019, which is 35.8% lower than the R$57.6 million generated in 2018.

(c)     Impact of inflation, variation in prices of the main inputs and products, exchange rate and interest rate in the operations and financial results of the issuer, if material

Considering the functional currency determined by the Company is the U.S. dollar, the foreign exchange gain (loss) presented in the financial statements of the Company refers mainly to monetary items in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a strategy to mitigate risks, the allocation of cash to assets denominated in Reais or U.S. dollars held by Embraer 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, given its functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Interest rates affect Embraer’s financial results. An increase or decrease in the local interest rate also influences the Company’s financial result, as it may result in an increase in expenses.

In 2020, investments in Reais totaled R$409.6 million, in 2019 the amount was R$535.6 million, R$518.6 million of which related to continuing operations and R$16.8 million to discontinued operation, and in 2018, investments totaled R$1,575.0 million. Investments abroad are indexed to a pre-fixed rate and considering that interest rates were low in 2020, the financial result was strongly impacted.

10.3 – Material events, occurred and expected, in the financial statements

(a)    Introduction or sale of operating segment

During fiscal year 2020, as a result of a change in the internal corporate structure and in the manner the principal manager of operations allocates resources and monitors the performance of operations, in addition to the termination of the transaction with Boeing involving the operations of Commercial Aviation and related services (see topic below), the following changes were made to the presentation of the operating segments:

 

   

Commercial Aviation operations are no longer monitored as “discontinued operations”, as disclosed in the 1st quarter of 2020, and are again monitored as a segregated operating segment. In addition, the Services & Support operations related to Commercial Aviation, which were also presented as “discontinued operations” in the 1st quarter of 2020, were again recorded in the results of the Services & Support operating segment.

 

   

The operations maintained in the subsidiary OGMA - Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal S.A., previously divided between the Defense & Security and Services & Support segments during the year ended December 31, 2019 and comparative interim periods, are now attributed exclusively to the Services & Support segment.

(b)    Incorporation, acquisition or sale of equity interest

End of Strategic Partnership with Boeing

On January 24, 2019, Embraer, Boeing and certain subsidiaries of Boeing and Embraer entered into the Master Transaction Agreement (“MTA”) and other documents related to the transaction, which defined the terms and conditions for the creation of a joint venture comprising the unit of Commercial Aviation of Embraer, in which a subsidiary of Boeing would hold a 80% and Embraer a 20% stake, as well as the creation of a joint venture to promote and develop new markets and applications for the C-390 Millennium multi-mission transport aircraft (“Contribution Agreement”), in which an Embraer subsidiary would hold a 51% and a Boeing subsidiary a 49% stake (collectively, “Transaction”). Until April 25, 2020, Embraer and Boeing continued to be subject to their respective obligations set forth in the MTA and the Contribution Agreement for the conclusion of the Transaction, therefore, Embraer maintained the classification of the assets of the Commercial Aviation business and related services as “held for sale” and “discontinued operations” in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On April 25, 2020, Boeing notified Embraer of its decision to terminate the MTA, based on the claim by Boeing that certain conditions for the closing of the Transaction provided for in the MTA had not been met by Embraer until the expiration date of the MTA, in April 24, 2020. In addition, Boeing terminated the Contribution Agreement. Embraer firmly believes that Boeing has unduly terminated the MTA and the

Table of Contents

Contribution Agreement and that Boeing was under an obligation to continue to comply with the terms of those contracts. Embraer firmly believes that it has fulfilled all of its contractual obligations under the MTA and the Contribution Agreement. Embraer is seeking all reasonable measures against Boeing for the damages suffered by Embraer as a result of the undue termination and breaches of the MTA and Contribution Agreement by Boeing, including arbitration proceedings initiated by both parties regarding the termination of the MTA and the Contribution Agreement by Boeing. There are no guarantees regarding the duration or outcome of the arbitration proceedings and the compensation that Embraer may receive or the loss that Embraer may suffer as a result or in connection with such arbitration proceedings.

Due to the unexpected and undue cancellation of the strategic partnership by Boeing on April 25, 2020, as of that date, the Company ceased to designate and measure the assets and liabilities associated with the Commercial Aviation business and related services as “held for sale” and the results thereof as “discontinued operations”, which were reclassified to “maintained for continuous use” and “continuing operations”. The main impacts on the financial statements are summarized below:

 

   

The change in the classification of long-term assets previously “held for sale” (property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use) required the recognition of expenses related to accumulated depreciation and amortization not recognized while classified as “held for sale” in the total of R$542,610, (of which R$98,133 related to the year ended December 31, 2020 and R$444,477 to the year ended December 31, 2019), recorded as other operating expenses. Additional details included in Note 31 to the Financial Statements.

 

   

The change in the classification also requires remeasurement of long-term assets (property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use) using the lower value between the carrying amount, adjusted for unrecognized accumulated depreciation and amortization, and the recoverable amount determined by the higher of the carrying amount in use of these assets and the fair value minus the expenses that would be incurred for sale. During the period of classification as “held for sale”, these long-term assets were tested for impairment at the lower of their book value and the fair value based on the acquisition price set forth in the MTA, minus the incremental expenses incurred to complete the transaction. Additional details on the impairment test carried out are included in Note 17 to the Financial Statements.

 

   

The income statements for the comparative periods for the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as the related notes, are being restated to disclose the results generated by the Commercial Aviation business and related services as the Company’s continuing operations, previously disclosed as results of discontinued operations. Additional details included in Note 2.1.3 to the Financial Statements.

 

   

Unlike the income statements, the balances in the balance sheet related to the Commercial Aviation business and related services have not been retrospectively reclassified and remain presented as assets and liabilities held for sale on the previous reference date of December 31, 2019, as required by IFRS 5/CPC 31. Additional details included in Note 5 to the Financial Statements.

(c)    Unusual Events or Transactions

Except for the termination of the aforementioned strategic partnership with Boeing and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic described in item 10.9, Embraer did not experience unusual events or operations in 2020.

In 2019, Embraer did not go through unusual events or operations.

During the first semester of 2018, the 001 prototype 001 under the C-390 Millenium development agreement had an incident that unusually affected the testing campaign for the aircraft’s certification. This non-recurring event adversely affected total estimated costs for conclusion and the recognition of revenue from the contract, with an accumulated negative adjustment recorded as gross profit in the amount of R$458.7 million in the statements of income for the year.

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 long-term contracts (Defense & Security)

In the Defense & Security segment, a significant portion of revenue is derived from long-term 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, using the ratio of 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 for completion are adjusted to reflect the cost variations in relation to projected costs, mainly due to relevant changes in circumstances and new events, such as contractual amendments. Any increase or decrease in revenue and estimated costs for completion are cumulatively recognized in the statements of income for the reporting period in which the circumstances that caused the review were identified by the Management. 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.

In a hypothetical scenario of a 10% increase or decrease in estimated costs for completion of ongoing contracts in 2020 compared to Management’s estimates, the Company’s revenue and gross margin in the year would decrease by R$477,551 or increase by R$513,036, respectively.

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 these aircrafts. 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.

Impairment of non-current Assets

The annual impairment test considers the Company’s medium and long-term strategic plan, brought to present value by the discount rate compatible with the market and that reflects the expectation of the investors’ return. In preparing or using this information, the Company uses estimates, as follows:

 

  (a)

Gross expected cash flow – Management projected cash inflows and outflows based on past performance, taking into account its expectations for market development and business strategy. These projections may 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 – an appropriate 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.

The estimates used to calculate any impairment adjustment are, in general, information known to the Management of the Company, used to manage its operations and define its strategies. Accordingly, Management understands that the impairment test uses future information based on best estimates and, therefore, any impairment adjustment is adequately assessed.

10.6 – Material Items not Included in the Financial Statements (off-balance sheet items)

(a)    Assets and liabilities directly or indirectly held by the issuer 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 Insurance coverage

The Company procures different types of insurance policies to protect its assets in the event of claims that may cause significant losses. Insurance policies are also procured for risks subject to mandatory insurance, whether due to legal or contractual provisions.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain civil liability insurance for their operations in Brazil and abroad, with coverage and conditions considered appropriate to the inherent risks by the members of their management.

In order to cover material damages on assets and loss of profits of its operations in Brazil and abroad, the Company has secured an amount at risk of US$7.8 billion / R$40.5 billion.

As described in note 36 to the Company’s Financial Statements for December 31, 2020, in its ordinary course of business, the Company participates in certain operations that do not appear in its balance sheet (off balance sheet), as follows:

Financial Guarantees (Commercial Aviation)

The Company provides guarantees related to 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 the financial 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 the Company could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset the payments related to these guarantees.

(i)

When an underlying asset is covered by mutually exclusive financial and residual value guarantees, the residual value guarantee may only be exercised if the financial guarantee has expired without having been exercised. On the other hand, if the financial guarantee is exercised, the residual value guarantee is automatically terminated.

As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Commercial Aviation market, the Company was sued by creditors of certain customers covered by financial guarantees, incurring additional losses of R$30,518 recognized in the result for the year due to the default events of these customers.

The Company’s exposure is reduced by the fact that, in order to benefit from the guarantee, the guaranteed party must return the underlying asset under specific conditions of use.

Backstop commitments (Commercial Aviation)

In certain firm agreements for the sale of commercial jets included in the backlog (“Backlog”), the Company has granted guarantees to provide financing for the delivery of these firm orders if the customer does not have other sufficient lines of credit at the time of delivery of the aircraft.

Historically, the Company has been minimally sued by its customers during the deliveries of the E-Jets commercial jet family for the exercise of this guarantee, which demonstrates the existence of alternative sources of credit in the market for the transfer of these financing obligations and remote probability of exercise. In addition, Embraer retains ownership of the aircraft manufactured until there is effective settlement by the customer, thus not incurring any risk of loss.

Backlog

The Company has a backlog with unmet or partially met performance obligations. The amount of revenue allocated to unmet (or partially met) performance obligations, as of December 31, 2020, totaled R$74.6 billion, of which R$14.4 billion should be realized in the next five years, based on Company’s estimates.

10.7 – Comments on off-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 those off-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 issuer

Backlog

The Company has a backlog with unmet or partially met performance obligations. The amount of revenue allocated to unmet (or partially met) performance obligations, as of December 31, 2020, totaled R$74.6 billion / US$14.4 billion, of which R$55.4 billion / US$10.7 billion is expected to be realized in the next 5 years, according to the Company’s estimate.

As of December 31, 2020, as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and based on delivery postponement agreements entered into with certain customers, the Company revised the firm order delivery forecast and reallocated performance obligations that would be met in the next 5 years in the approximate amount of R$8.3 billion / US$1.6 billion, based on the forecast existing until December 31, 2019, for later periods.

Financial Guarantees (Commercial Aviation)

The Company may provide residual value guarantees related to the aircraft sold, which may be exercised at the end of the financing contract between a financial agent and the customer/operator of these 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, and are recorded as a financial expense by the Company as they are derivative instruments. 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 based on aircraft valuations issued by third parties, including information obtained from the sale or leasing of similar aircraft in the secondary market.

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 that affect 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 accounts payable.

Table of Contents

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.

Backstop commitments (Commercial Aviation)

In order to mitigate exposure to credit risk, the exercise of this financing guarantee depends on the financial conditions of the client on the date of the notice of exercise and on conditions precedent to be met. If financing is granted, the Company maintains the financed aircraft as a guarantee in the financing structure. In item 10.6 other information regarding the scenario of financing agreement granting is provided.

(a)    Investments

(i)    Quantitative and qualitative description of ongoing and expected investments

The main investments in the recent years were devoted to Commercial and Executive Aviation, as investments in the Defense & Security segment are generally paid by the Brazilian government, according to agreements of development of projects entered into by Embraer.

In the Commercial Aviation segment, we highlight the development of the E-2 jets, second generation of the E-Jets family, consisting of the E175-E2, E190-E2 and E195-E2 models, which were launched in June 2013; the entry into service of the first E190-E2 model for the customer Wideroe, from Norway, took place in April 2018. In 2019, the E195-E2 was certified and entered into service in September with the first delivery to AerCap and Azul Linhas Aéreas. The E-175 E2 made its first flight in December 2019 and its entry into service was rescheduled in 2020 for 2023, due to the current commercial aviation market conditions worldwide, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to develop the aircraft, albeit in a more prolonged manner, and believes that the E175-E2 will be ready to enter into service at a more suitable market time. Until such previous period before the entrance into service, Embraer continues to offer the E175 jet of first generation of E-Jets, which is a market leader and the most efficient and comfortable commercial aircraft in the 76-seat category.

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 in such category. The Praetor 600 was certified and entered into service in the second quarter of 2019, followed by the Praetor 500, which was certified in the third quarter of 2019 and entered into service in the fourth quarter of 2019. The Praetor 600 and 500 jets stems from the jet platform Legacy 500/450.

In 2020, most of the investments of the Company were 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 2020, 2019 and 2018.

(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 from financial institutions and government financing agencies, such as the Brazilian Social and Economic Development Bank (BNDES – Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social), contributions in cash from risk- sharing partners, and advance payments from customers.

The financial resources raised by the Company in 2020 are described in Item 10.1(d), of this Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

In 2018 and 2019, the Company did not raise any relevant funds.

(iii)    Material ongoing and expected divestments

There are no have material ongoing or expected divestments.

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 the global aeronautic industry may face 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’s pre- competitive research and development strategy is structured as a program that has as essential skills 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).

Table of Contents

In 2020, the Company’s total investments amounted to US$ 202.4 million, of which US$121.4 million was earmarked for Product development, net of contribution from suppliers; US$29.8 million for Research; and US$50.6 million in CAPEX. It is important to mention that the CAPEX amount described above excludes expenses related to equipment and property, plant and equipment, which totaled US$0.5 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 CAPEX of the Company.

The Company’s investments are financed with equity and third-party capital.

10.9 – Others Material Factors

It is recommended that the company disclose, in this item, information about expenses with advertisement, sponsorships, partnerships and agreements (convênios), as well as the criteria used to allocate funds to these expenses.

In 2020, the Company’s advertising expenses totaled approximately R$37 million, of which the majority of the expenses are for fairs and exhibitions, advertisement campaigns and other promotional activities. Business areas request these expenses annually and they are submitted to management for approval, in order to enable the marketing efforts of products and services.

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

Embraer is monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impacts on the global economy, as well as on its employees, operations, supply and demand for its products and services. The Company has been implementing contingency plans in order to be able to act quickly as the current situation develops.

As a result of the pandemic and impacts thereof on the Commercial Aviation industry, the Company’s credit rating was downgraded by the rating agencies: on April 28, 2020, Fitch downgraded our rating from BBB-to BB +, on April 29, 2020, Moody’s also downgraded our rating from Ba1 to Ba2, with a negative outlook, and on February 21, 2021, Standard & Poor’s downgraded our rating by one point, to BB, with a negative outlook.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Embraer has adopted several initiatives with a focus on the health and safety of its employees. The Company’s operations were interrupted for a few days to adjust the industrial facilities due to occupational health and safety measures. Social distancing measures were taken, such as the implementation of telework for some employees. In addition, several employment protection measures were taken, such as a reduction in working hours and wages, collective vacation and paid leave.

Also as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the economy, the Company carried out three voluntary termination plans (VTP) for specific groups of employees in Brazil, with the participation of approximately 1,600 people. On September 3, 2020, the Company announced a reduction in its workforce, representing approximately 900 employees. Considering the adhesions to the VTP and the non-voluntary dismissals, the workforce was reduced by approximately 2,500 employees in Brazil (12.5% of the total workforce). The aggregate expenses of the voluntary termination plans and reduction in the workforce totaled R$372,747 for the year.

The Company adopted measures to preserve cash flow, including (i) reduction in working hours and cuts in wages; (ii) reductions and cuts in fees for members of the board of executive officers and board of directors; (iii) extension of payment terms related to suppliers; (iv) extension of tax payment deadlines; (v) negotiation of new credit facilities; and (vi) adjustment in the production chain.

The main impacts on the Company’s business units are summarized below.

Commercial Aviation

Regarding the Commercial Aviation business, the wide disruption in traffic caused by COVID-19 has affected the operations of our customers worldwide. According to Cirium, a data analysis consultancy firm, 18% of the fleet of up to 100 seats and 36% of the fleet with 100 to 150 seats was stored in December 2020. The International Air Transport Association - IATA reported that global commercial traffic in 2020 has dropped by 65.9% year-on-year. IATA’s projection is that the volume of traffic in 2021 will be 50% lower compared to 2019. Due to COVID-19, some of our customers rescheduled aircraft deliveries for 2021 and after; for example, certain postponement agreements were entered into that generated a limited number of postponement of deliveries until after 2025, which affected our results for 2020. However, as of the date of these annual financial statements, there has been no cancellation. The Company granted a bridge loan for certain deliveries of commercial jets in the third and fourth quarters of 2020, which were settled through the transfer of receivables to financing agents who financed customers in December 2020. The pace of recovery is difficult to predict, since this outbreak is unprecedented in history and we cannot yet fully determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our activities in the short-and medium-term.

Defense & Security

Regarding the Defense & Security business, the programs have been affected by the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, both in its operation and in the supply chain. Some manufacturers were inoperative for weeks due to the pandemic, compromising their ability to supply parts and products. The logistics for shipping materials was also affected, with longer airfreight cycles due to the lower availability of international flights, increasing the time for the shipping of parts. It should be noted that no customer orders were canceled in the Defense programs due to the pandemic. Necessary adjustments to the commitments agreed with customers have already been negotiated. The Company has taken the necessary actions to overcome the challenges imposed by COVID-19 and to minimize impacts on Defense deliveries.

Executive Aviation

Regarding the Executive Aviation business, travel restrictions and emergency quarantine imposed certain challenges for the delivery of aircraft to international customers during 2020. As of the date hereof, the production lines for our executive aviation products are able to maintain the planned supply levels, without major shortages. We continue to monitor risks and control the supply chain, accommodating demand to avoid obstacles that may still arise from this global crisis. During 2020 and due to the crisis, executive aviation carried out 86 deliveries, representing a 21% decrease compared to the total number of jets

Table of Contents

delivered in 2019. Also in 2020 and according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), the global business jet industry decreased its total annual volume of new jet deliveries by approximately 20%. On the date of the annual financial statements, one of our business jet customers canceled its firm order and some of our business jet customers rescheduled aircraft deliveries. Although we cannot fully predict the impact of the continued outbreak of COVID-19 on our activities in the short-and medium-term, we believe that some of our customers may either postpone scheduled aircraft deliveries or cancel orders. For 2021, the executive jet market is expected to remain stable in relation to the volume delivered in 2020, gradually resuming growth in the following years.

Services & Support

Regarding the Services and Support business, both Commercial Aviation and Executive Aviation customers were impacted by COVID-19, directly affecting the companies’ cash flow. Due to the decrease in operations and in the number of flights during the pandemic, many operators were financially affected, resulting in delays or renegotiation of payment for services, parts, flight hour programs and contracted maintenance. During the pandemic, companies invested only in the most urgent and indispensable items to preserve cash. At OGMA, there was a decrease in the maintenance of civil aircraft engines, but an increase in demand for defense aircraft engines. In addition, some scheduled services, such as repairing the landing gear of the Phenom and E-Jets Programs, were affected due to the delay in receiving and/or sending the parts, which caused the service to be rescheduled and, consequently, impacting the financial receipt. In addition, there was a considerable pause in the demand of maintenance centers for several months of 2020, which caused the decrease in operation. However, demand has been increasing significantly in recent months, in line with the gradual resumption of flight activities by the Company’s operators and customers.

Information security incident

On November 24, 2020, Embraer suffered a cybersecurity incident that was later identified as a ransomware attack. The attack resulted in the encryption of a virtual server environment hosted in Brazil. The perpetrators of the attack exfiltrated certain data from that environment, and some of that data was made available on the dark web.

Immediately after the incident, Embraer employed significant IT resources and took steps to protect its systems, isolate the affected server and remedy its network. In view of the effectiveness of the Company’s response and the availability of back-up servers, Embraer chose not to establish contact with the perpetrators of the attack and not to pay any ransom. As part of its reaction, Embraer hired Tempest Security Intelligence, a leading cybersecurity company, to investigate the incident and supplement the Company’s remediation efforts.

Embraer adopted additional measures to strengthen the security of its systems, and reported the incident to the relevant authorities in Brazil and abroad.

The incident did not have a material impact on Embraer’s revenue generation, cash flows or incremental expenses. There is also no indication that the accuracy and integrity of any financial information has been affected as a result of the incident.

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 and non-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 issuer 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, the purpose of which 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.

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 the management with those of our shareholders.

(b)    Composition of compensation, indicating:

i.    Description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each one

The members of the Board of Directors receive a monthly fixed compensation and are offered, optionally, group life insurance and health insurance, provided that the members of the Board of Directors bear all inherent costs. There is no variable compensation for this body. The purpose of paying exclusively a fixed compensation to the members of the committees is to be aligned with best market practices.

The members of the advisory committees (Audit, Risk and Ethics, People and Governance and Strategy) receive a specific monthly fixed compensation for participating in each committee (limited to two committees). There is no variable compensation for members of the committees. The purpose of paying exclusively a fixed compensation to the members of the committees is to be aligned with best market practices.

The members of the Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Non-statutory Board of Executive Officers receive a monthly fixed compensation and a variable compensation (short- and long-term incentives). To define the 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 purpose 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.

 

121


Table of Contents
(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: group life insurance and health insurance and private pension equivalent to those offered to the Company’s employees.

 

(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, the more weight is attributed to the CP installments. Therefore, the amount of CP to be distributed among eligible executives is calculated based on the result of the targets of the corporate financial performance indicators defined by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the economic and financial reality of the Company and the respective individual action programs, provided that the calculation varies directly according to the achievement of the concrete targets that have been defined.

 

(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 Program”) and the “Long-term Incentive Plan for Executives of Embraer” (the “Plan”). 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 planned ILP amounts will be determined based on market references, subject to the conditions set forth in the respective incentive instruments, which are described in detail in item 13.4 of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

The members of the Fiscal Council receive a fixed monthly salary, which is approved, in an annual basis, 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 included in the detailing of the total compensation of the Fiscal Council refer to benefits granted in periods prior to their cancellation.

ii.    The proportion of each element in the total compensation

In accordance with the structure of the Company’s compensation policy, the proportion of each element in the total compensation may vary based on the results of the Company.

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 their 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 the Board of Directors is periodically reviewed based on market research and adjusted based on the total compensation amount approved.

The fixed amounts paid to the members of advisory committees (Audit, Risk and Ethics, People and Governance and Strategy) are periodically reviewed based on market research and adjusted based on the total compensation amount approved.

In order to define the market surveyed, publicly traded companies of the general market 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.

The total compensation of the Statutory 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 of pre-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 taking 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

 

124


Table of Contents

impact of the program, the 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 Plan and Stock Option Program.

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 compensation composition

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 of size, complexity and challenges 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 their 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 purpose 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.

v.    Existence of unpaid members and the reasons for this

No members of the Board of Directors, Advisory Committees, Board of Executive Officers or Fiscal Council are unpaid for the positions they hold in the Company.

 

125


Table of Contents

c.    Key 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 and non-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 paid 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 roles, 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 economic/financial indicators (such as net Revenue, Generation of cash flow from operations, selling 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, each executive is assessed, in an annual basis, 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.    How the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators

The short- and long-term variable compensation of all statutory and non-statutory executive officers is determined by individual performance indicators, set forth annually in their Action Plans, and by evaluation factors of the Company, and therefore, is directly tied to the evolution of those performance indicators.

e.    How the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the interests of the issuer in the short-, medium- and long-term

The purpose of Embraer’s Human Resources Policy is to transmit the Company’s thinking and stance 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 economic and financial conditions, in a system of partnership and sharing of the generated wealth, encouraging all to achieve and surpass previously agreed results.

 

126


Table of Contents

Embraer aims to maintain a competitive compensation for its management compared to the market in order to retain and attract management members that enable the achievement of its short, medium and long-term goals.

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 Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência). The payment of the short-term variable compensation is also tied to the Company’s performance, 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.

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 members of the management, 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 issuer’s corporate control

There was no corporate event related to the sale of the issuer’s corporate control. In addition, given that the business combination between Embraer and Boeing has not been carried out, the granting of retention bonuses and incentives to Company executives, including some Statutory Officers, are null and void, since the respective payments were subject to the closing of the aforementioned business combination with Boeing.

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, indicating1

 

  i.

the bodies and committees that participate in the decision-making process, identifying how they participate.

The objective of the People and Governance Committee, in accordance with its internal regulations, is to advise the Board of Directors in defining and approving the Company’s compensation and human resources Policy, with regard to the 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 scope of these studies.

The criteria and methods used to determine individual compensation are described in item 13.1(b) of the Brazilian Annual Report (Formulário de Referência).

13.4 – Stock-based compensation plan for the board of directors and statutory board of executive officers

The Company currently has a stock-based compensation plan in place, the “Long-Term Incentive Plan for Embraer Executives”, approved on March 18, 2021, by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ILP”). The company’s Bylaws sets forth that the board of directors may make extraordinary grants.

Until March 2020, the Company had the “Stock Option Program of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Executive Officers and Employees”, approved on April 19, 2010 (the “Program”).

Long-Term Incentive Plan for Embraer Executives (ILP)

a.    Terms and general conditions

The Company’s officers and employees, and the officers (or equivalents) and employees of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the ILP. The ILP is managed by the Board of Directors, duly advised by its People and Governance Committee in all its stages.

The ILP values established for the participants will be converted into “Virtual Shares”, based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the shares issued by the Company on B3 (“EMBR3”) 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 (“Grant Date”).

The Virtual Shares attributed to each Participant will be divided into 2 classes, 50% in the form of “Virtual Restricted Shares” and 50% in the form of “Virtual Performance Shares”.

The other terms and conditions of the Program are described in the items below.

b.    Main objectives of the plan

The main objective of this plan is to retain and attract highly qualified personnel to the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”).

c.    How the plan contributes to these objectives

The ILP allows executives who effectively contribute to the best performance of the Company and the appreciation of Company’s securities to share the profits derived from their contribution.

d.    How the plan fits in the compensation policy of the issuer

The ILP fits in the Company’s compensation policy as a potential long-term incentive.

 

136


Table of Contents

e.    How the plan aligns the interests of management with the interests of the company in the short-, medium- and long-term

The ILP integrates the Company’s long-term compensation element, as the incentive is paid within a 3-year period. Moreover, the Participants will only vest in the ILP if the conditions precedent set forth in item “j” below are met, which conditions involve the achievement of the Company’s long-term goals. Another element that aligns long-term interests is tying the ILP amounts to the market value of the Company’s shares, as the amount to be paid is obtained upon the conversion of the Virtual Shares into the domestic currency (R$), based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the EMBR3 shares in the last ten trading days prior to the 15th day of the anniversary months described in item “j” below.

f.    Maximum number of shares covered

Not applicable, as the ILP does not provide for the effective delivery of the Company’s shares to the participants.

g.    Maximum number of options to be granted

Not applicable. There is no granting of stock options under the ILP.

h.    Vesting Conditions

Not applicable. Once assessed, the amount payble to executives under the ILP 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 will be entitled to receive the total amount corresponding to the Virtual Restricted Shares after the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

Virtual Performance Actions: the Participant will be 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 performance targets set forth by the Company, which, for 2020, is linked to the company’s financial metrics, which 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.

 

137


Table of Contents

The maximum payment term of this benefit is consistent with the long-term objectives mentioned in items “b” and “c” above.

k.    Form of settlement

The ILP will be settled in cash.

l.    Restrictions on the transfer of shares

Not applicable, as the ILP does not provide for the effective delivery of the 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 ILP participants.

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 ILP and the rights granted thereunder not yet exercised will be automatically terminated.

n.    Effects of 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 due to death or permanent disability of the particippant, subject to a different resolution by the Board of Directors, all Virtual Restricted Shares attributed to him or her will be converted based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of the EMBR3 shares in the last ten trading days prior to the date of the relevant termination, and payment will be made together with the payment of the other applicable severance pay. With regards to the Virtual Performance Shares, the Participant will be entitled to receive a pro rata amount, based on the period of employment calculated from the Grant Date until termination, and all other conditions set forth in the ILP will be maintained.

In the event of death, payment will be made to the successors of the Participant, pursuant to the law.

In the event of termination by decision of the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to any ILP payments, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors.

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 regarding the Program, which involves the Grant of Stock Options, expired in 2020, and regarding our ILP Program (or Virtual Shares). However, we clarify again that our ILP 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 ILP participants. Accordingly, we set forth in the tables below the number of Virtual Shares actually attributed to participants in each fiscal year and the market value of these shares used to make payments to participants, which is calculated based on the average price (weighted by the trading volume) of EMBR3 shares in the last ten trading days prior to the 15th day of the anniversary months of payment of the incentive.

In 2018, the payments of the second portion were made, i.e., 33% of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2014 and 33% related to the first portion of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2015.

In 2019, the Company made payments related to the third portion, i.e., 34% of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2014, completing the payment of this grant. Also in 2019, 33% related to the second portion of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2015 and 33% related to the first portion of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2016 were paid.

In 2020, the Company paid the total of Virtual Performance Shares of the 2015, 2016 and 2017 grants. Moreover, the Company made payments related to the third portion, i.e., 34% of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2015, completing the payment of this grant. In 2020, 33% related to the second portion of the total Restricted Shares granted in March, June and August 2016 and 33% related to the first portion of the total Restricted Shares granted in 2017 were paid.

Pricing model

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 Program of Embraer S.A. for Statutory Executive Officers, the exercise 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 now has 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 exercise price, time until 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 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão. 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 assumption 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.

APPRAISAL REPORT OF THE NET ASSETS

DETERMINED BY MEANS OF ACCOUNTING BOOKS

PREMIUMBRAVO AUDITORES INDEPENDENTES, a general partnership with head office in the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, at Av. Flamboyants da Península, 100, Block 003, offices 201 to 207, enrolled with the Taxpayers’ Register (CNPJ/ME) under No. 07.796.259/0001-30 and enrolled with the Regional Accountancy Board of the State of Rio de Janeiro (CRC-RJ) under No. 004216/8, hereby represented by its Technical Manager Luis Aurênio Barretto, enrolled with the Regional Accountancy Board of the State of Rio de Janeiro (CRC-RJ) under No. 076875/0, upon request of EMBRAER SA’s management to carry out the appraisal of the net assets of SAVIS TECNOLOGIA E SISTEMAS S.A. (hereinafter referred to as “SAVIS” or “Company”), based on the balance sheet prepared on December 31, 2020, as a specialized company, for the purpose of the merger of SAVIS into EMBRAER SA, pursuant to articles 226 and 227 of Law No. 6,404/76, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, submits the result of its work.

APPRAISAL OBJECTIVE

The objective of the appraisal report of the net assets of SAVIS, comprised of assets and liabilities, based on the balance sheet prepared on December 31, 2020, pursuant to Articles 226 and 227 of Law No. 6,404/76, is to determine the net assets of SAVIS for purposes of merger into its parent company EMBRAER S.A.


Table of Contents

SCOPE OF WORK

This Appraisal Report is issued in connection with the limited review of the Company’s balance sheet prepared on December 31, 2020, a review made based on Technical Communication CTA 20, approved by the Federal Accountancy Board (Conselho Federal de Contabilidade – CFC). This balance sheet, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, was prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which are summarized below, as well as by the relevant internal controls that the Management determined necessary to prepare such information.

Main accounting policies:

Functional currency

After analyzing the Company’s operations and business, the Management concluded that the Real (R$) is the currency that best expresses its results and representativeness, being assumed as a functional currency and, in compliance with Brazilian legislation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, available bank deposits and short-term financial investments, usually with maturity of up to 90 days from the date of procurement, with high liquidity, readily convertible into a known amount of cash subject to an insignificant amount of risk of change in value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost of purchases or production or the net realizable value. The inventory valuation method is the weighted average cost.

Inventories are basically formed by raw material, goods for resale classified as parts and components and the company maintains inventories held by third parties, which are materials or equipment in test or repair.

A provision for potential losses is constituted when, based on the Management’s estimate, the items are defined as obsolete or stocked in amounts greater than those to be used in the project.

Advance payment to suppliers correspond to funds paid in advance to suppliers who are involved in the acquisition of materials for the execution of the SISFRON project. These funds are in synergy with the progress of the contract stages.


Table of Contents

Income tax and social contribution

Tax expenses for the period comprise current and deferred income tax. The tax is recognized in the income for the year, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in the shareholder’s equity or in comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income in the shareholder’s equity.

Income tax and social contribution for the current year are calculated based on the rates of 15 % plus an additional 10% on the monthly surplus taxable income of R$ 20 for income taxes, and 9% on the taxable profit for the social contribution on net income.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities.

A deferred income tax and social contribution asset is recognized in relation to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they will be used. Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are reduced to the extent that their realization is no longer probable. On the reference date, the Company does not have deferred tax assets, therefore there is no adjustment related to this topic.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at the cost of acquisition, formation or construction, net of depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of the asset (note 11).

Below is a summary description of the items that make up property, plant and equipment:

 

  (a)

Improvements to third-party properties - comprise works at third-party facilities in production and administrative areas.

 

 

  (b)

Furniture and fixtures - mainly comprise furniture and fixtures used in the production and administrative areas.

 

 

  (c)

Machines and equipment - comprise machines, devices and other equipment used directly or indirectly in the manufacturing process.

 

 

  (d)

Vehicles - comprise automobiles used in customer support areas.

 

 

  (e)

Computers and peripherals - comprise the computer equipment used mainly in the production and administrative process.

 

 

  (f)

Tooling - comprise mainly tools used in the production process.

 


Table of Contents
  (g)

Assets under construction - comprise expenditures on property, plant and equipment that have not yet been completed.

 

Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the lease commencement date (that is, the date on which the asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any depreciation or impairment losses and adjusted for any revaluation of lease liabilities.

The cost of the right-of-use assets includes the amount of the recognized lease liability, the initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method considering the lease term and the Company’s intention in renewal options, based on the best estimate on each reporting date. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment test if there is evidence that their book value may be higher than the recoverable amount.

Expenses with the depreciation of the right-of-use asset are recognized as operating expenses in the income statement for the year.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of computer programs (software), acquired from third parties, and capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life (5 years). Expenses associated with software development or maintenance are recognized as expenses as they are incurred. Expenses directly associated with identifiable and unique software, controlled by the Company and which are likely to generate economic benefits greater than costs for more than one year, are recognized as intangible assets and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of non-current assets

The Company’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with defined useful lives are analyzed, at the end of the fiscal year, to assess whether there are indicators that their book value may not be recoverable, for purposes of carrying out the impairment test.

An impairment loss is recognized when the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which represents the higher of an asset’s fair value less its costs of disposal and its value in use.

Lease liability

As of the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes lease liability measured at the present value of lease payments to be made during the lease term measured based on the contract and renewal options. Lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.


Table of Contents

When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate. After the commencement date, the amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the increase in interest, installment adjustments, and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured when there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in fixed lease payments or a change in the valuation for purchasing the underlying asset.

Interest is recognized in the financial income (expenses) account, net in the income statement for the year.

 

  (i)

Determination of the lease term:

The Company determines the term of the contract as the non-cancellable lease term, plus any period covered by a renewal option, if it is reasonably certain that it will be exercised, or any option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain that it will not be exercised. The Company has the option, under some of its leases, to maintain the assets for additional terms of three to five years. The Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option, considering all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for the exercise of the renewal.

The Company reassesses the lease term if there is an event or material change in circumstances that is under its control and affects its ability to exercise (or not exercise) the option to renew (for example, a change in the business strategy).

 

  (ii)

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to all leases that have a contract term of less than or equal to 12 months from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. The practical exemption of recognition of low value assets for leases whose individual asset value is below US$ 5,000 thousand also applies.

Rent payments on short-term and low-value leases are recognized as an expense using the straight-line method over the lease term.

Recognition of revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of products and services in the normal course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is shown net of taxes, returns, rebates and discounts.

a) Revenue from long-term contracts

Sales revenues referring to operations characterized by the development of products or technologies, such as long-term contracts whose transfer of control occurs over time. In such contracts, their revenues are recognized over time in


Table of Contents

amounts equivalent to the ratio of the accrued costs incurred at the end of the reporting period divided by the estimated total costs at the conclusion, multiplied by the allocated price less the accrued revenue recognized in the previous reporting period.

The adequacy of the recognition of revenues related to sales contracts is carried out based on the best estimates of the Management; when the Company identifies an onerous contract, possible losses are recognized through the provision for losses with programs against the result of the period in which the loss was determined.

The Company understands that the cost-incurred method provides the most reliable basis for estimating the progress of contracts the revenues of which are recognized over time.

b) Revenue from the sale of spare parts, components and services

Revenues from sales of spare parts, components and services are recognized when control, as defined in CPC 47, is transferred to the customer, that is, when all recognition conditions are met, this usually occurs at the time of delivery or shipment.

Customers pay after the transfer of control, within 90 days.

c) Contract assets and liabilities

Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed and not invoiced on the date of the financial statements, mainly for development contracts, which are measured based on the percentage of fulfillment of the performance obligation and net of advance payments from customers received and any expected credit loss. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable from customers when the entitlements become unconditional.

Contract liabilities refer to advance payment of consideration received by the Company before deliveries. They also refer to advance payment of consideration received from customers related to the acceptance of development contracts the stage of which has not yet been performed.

d) Costs for obtaining a contract

They refer to incremental costs incurred by the Company exclusively to obtain contracts with customers that will be recovered in the fulfillment of these contracts, such as costs incurred with sales commissions and bank guarantees. Assets to obtain contracts are capitalized as other assets and amortized when (or as) the related contract revenue is recognized.


Table of Contents

Costs of products and services

Costs of products and services consist of the cost of equipment delivered, spare parts and services provided, including:

a) Parts and components - substantially all the costs of material acquired for the execution of the SISFRON project.

b) Labor - comprise salaries and charges on salaries and are denominated in Reais.

c) Depreciation - The Company’s property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives, which vary between five and twenty-five years.

d) Amortization - Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method, over the useful life estimated for the assets.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized taking into account the opinion of the Management and its legal advisors, the nature of the reasons, similarity with previous lawsuits, complexity and the positioning of courts, whenever the loss is assessed as probable, which would cause a probable exit of funds for the settlement of obligations, and when the amounts involved are measurable with sufficient certainty. The provisioned amounts reflect the best estimate that the Company had to measure the outflow of funds that is expected to occur.

CONCLUSION

Based on the work carried out, we conclude that the Company’s net assets, in accordance with the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, amount to R$ 49,790,232.70 (forty-nine million, seven hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and thirty-two reais and seventy cents) and is registered in the accounting books, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Furthermore, we inform that:

 

  (a)

In accordance with the professional standards established by the Federal Accountancy Board, we are not aware of any direct or indirect conflicts of interest nor of any other circumstance that represents a conflict of interest in relation to the services provided by us and previously described; and

 

 

  (b)

We are not aware of any action by the controlling shareholder, the management of the companies involved or any other interested parties with the aim of directing, limiting, hindering or practicing any acts that have or may have compromised access, use or knowledge of information, assets, documents or work methodologies that are relevant to the quality of the respective conclusions contained in this Appraisal Report.

Annex X – INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER OF SAVIS

(Pursuant to Section 20-A of CVM Instruction No. 481/09)

1.       Protocol and justification of the operation, under the terms of arts. 224 and 225 of Law No. 6.404, of 1976.

The protocol and justification for the merger of SAVIS Tecnologia e Sistemas S.A. (“Merged” or “Savis”) by Embraer S.A. (“Embraer”) is found in Exhibit I.1 to this Proposal (“Protocol and Justification”).

2.       Other agreements, contracts and pre-contracts regulating the exercise of voting rights or the transfer of shares issued by the subsisting companies or resulting from the operation, filed at the company’s headquarters or to which the company’s controller is a party.

There are no other agreements, contracts or pre-contracts.

3.       Description of the operation, including:

(a) Terms and conditions:

The corporate reorganization comprises the merger of Savis by Embraer, at the book value of Savis, with the consequent extinction of Savis and the succession, by Embraer, of all its assets, rights and obligations (“Merger”).

The entire equity interest representing Savis’ capital stock, which is owned by Embraer, will be canceled, as provided for in article 226, paragraph 1, of Law No. 6.404, of December 15, 1976 (“Brazilian Corporation Law”).

The Merger will not result in an increase in Embraer’s shareholders’ equity, given that, at the time of the Merger, 100% (one hundred percent) of the equity interest representing the Merged Company’s total capital stock will be held by Embraer, and Embraer already has the restated records of the Merged Company in its restated financial statements. In addition, in replacement for the equity interest that is currently recorded in Embraer’s restated financial statements, the assets of the Merged Company, after the Merger, will be directly recorded as Embraer’s assets. Thus, as a consequence of the intended Merger, in the Embraer accounting, the investment account related to the interest in the Merged Company’s capital stock will be replaced by the assets and liabilities included in the Merged Company’s balance sheet, without any change in the capital account.

(b) Obligations to indemnify: (i) the managers of any of the companies involved; (ii) if the transaction does not take place.

There are no obligations to indemnify.

Table of Contents

(c) Comparative table of the rights, advantages and restrictions of the shares of the companies involved or resulting, before and after the transaction.

Before and after the Merger, there will be only common shares issued by Embraer, which will preserve the same rights and advantages, which are listed below. The equity interest representing the capital of the Merged Company will be extinguished with the Merger.

Embraer:

Common Shares: All common shares issued by Embraer are entitled to dividends, except shares that are held in treasury. The portion corresponding to 25% of the adjusted net income is allocated to shareholders, as a mandatory minimum annual dividend.

Restricted

   
Description of the restricted vote:   

Common Shares: I - no shareholder, or Group of Shareholders (as defined in the articles of incorporation), Brazilian or foreign, may exercise votes in a number greater than 5% of the number of shares in which the Company’s capital stock is divided; II - the group of Foreign Shareholders (as defined in the articles of incorporation) may not exercise, in each General Meeting, a number of votes greater than 2/3 of the total votes that can be exercised by the Brazilian Shareholders attending (as defined in the articles of incorporation).

Table of Contents

(d) Eventual need for approval by debenture holders or other creditors.

Under the terms of Contract No. 27/2012, for the intended operation, prior consent from the Army’s Electronic Communication Center (CCOMGEX, Centro de Comunicação Eletrônica do Exército) is required. Said consent was obtained through Official Letter No. 3-A3J/CCOMGEX, dated March 1, 2021

(e) Active and passive elements that will form each portion of the equity, in the event of a spin-off.

Not applicable.

(f) Intention of the companies resulting from obtaining registration as a security issuer.

Not applicable, since Embraer is already registered as a Category A publicly-held company.

4.       Plans for conducting social business, notably with regard to specific corporate events that are intended to be promoted.

Embraer will continue, after the Merger, to dedicate itself to the development, manufacture and sale of aircraft and aerospace materials in the various segments in which Embraer operates, maintaining its registration as a publicly-held company. Embraer’s corporate purpose will also not be changed, as the Merged Company does not perform any activity other than those already included in Embraer’s corporate purpose.

5.       Analysis of the following aspects of the transaction:

(a) Description of the main expected benefits, including: (i) Synergies, (ii) Tax benefits; and (iii) Strategic advantages.

The Merger seeks to unify and centralize the activities of the Merged Company and Embraer in order to streamline operations, optimize management and minimize expenses through economies of scale. The Merger proves to be convenient considering the ever-increasing costs of maintaining different corporate structures.

(b) Costs.

It is estimated that the costs of carrying out the Merger will be of the order of approximately BRL 2,800,000.00, including expenses with publications, auditors, appraisers, lawyers, consultants, including for the implementation of IT systems (including SAP) and other professionals hired to advise on the operation, in addition to the costs of allocating internal labor.

Table of Contents

(c) Risk factors.

With the Merger, the aim is to integrate the companies’ businesses and take advantage of the synergies obtained with this integration. This integration process may result in difficulties of an operational, commercial, financial, contractual and technological nature, which may result in the failure to take advantage of the expected synergies, or result in unforeseen losses or expenses. Embraer’s management may therefore not be able to successfully implement the intended integration, or to obtain the expected returns on investments related to this Merger.

(d) In the case of a related party transaction, any alternatives that could have been used to achieve the same objectives, indicating the reasons why these alternatives were discarded.

The merger of the Merged Company is sought, for the reasons described in item 5.(a), with the succession, by Embraer, of all its assets, rights and obligations. Therefore, there is no other corporate structure that can be adopted, other than the Merger, to obtain the intended results.

(e) Replacement ratio.

Not applicable, since, as a result of the Merger, no new Embraer shares will be issued and the shares representing the Merged Company’s capital stock will be extinguished as permitted by article 226, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporation Law. In addition, considering that Embraer is the owner of all the shares issued by the Merged Company, the Merger will not result in an increase or decrease in Embraer’s shareholders’ equity or capital, insofar as the Merged Company’s shareholders’ equity is already fully reflected in Embraer’s shareholders’ equity, as a result of the application of the equity method.

Table of Contents

(f) In transactions involving parent companies, subsidiaries or companies under common control: (i) Ratio of share replacement calculated in accordance with art. 264 of Law No. 6.404, of 1976; (ii) Detailed description of the negotiation process for the replacement ratio and other terms and conditions of the transaction; (iii) If the transaction has been preceded, in the last 12 (twelve) months, by an acquisition of control or acquisition of interest in a control block: (a) Comparative analysis of the exchange ratio and the price paid in the acquisition of control; and (b) Reasons that justify any differences in valuation in the different operations; (iv) Justification of why the replacement ratio is commutative, with the description of the procedures and criteria adopted to guarantee the commutability of the transaction or, if the replacement ratio is not commutative, details of the payment or equivalent measures adopted to ensure adequate compensation.

Not applicable.

Regarding the requirement provided for in article 264 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, at a meeting held on February 15, 2018, within the scope of CVM Process No. 19957.011351/2017-21, CVM’s Board of Directors unanimously stated that said article was not applicable in merger transactions of wholly-owned subsidiary by parent company, since, if there are no non-controlling shareholders, the fundamental condition provided for in the provision would not be present. Thus, for the purposes of the Merger, it will not be necessary for Embraer to prepare the aforementioned report.

In addition, considering that, as described in the item 5.(e) above, Embraer is the sole shareholder of the Merged Company, and no shares will be issued to replace the Merged Company’s shares, which will be extinguished as a result of the Merger, there is no need to talk about a replacement relationship.

6.       Copy of the minutes of all meetings of the board of directors, audit committee and special committees at which the transaction was discussed, including any dissenting votes.

The minutes in which the Merger was discussed can be found in Exhibit I.6 to this Proposal.

7.       Copy of studies, submissions, reports, judgements, opinions or appraisal reports of those involved in the transaction made available to the controlling shareholder at any stage of the transaction.

The Appraisal Report can be found in Exhibit I.7 to this Proposal.

None.

The financial statements of December 31, 2020 of the Merged Company can be found in Exhibit I.7 of this Proposal.

Not applicable, considering that the Merger will be carried out without any dilution of Embraer’s current shareholders, therefore applying the exception provided for in article 10 of CVM Instruction 565/15.

(a)    commercialized products and services. The Merged Company has as its corporate purpose to (a) design, develop, certify, industrialize, integrate, resell, market, build, maintain, monitor and inspect the execution of works, importing and exporting goods, systems and services used in the final activities of defense and security; and (b) provide services, promote and/or carry out technical studies and activities, linked to technological research, maintenance, modernization, process management and logistical support for its products and systems.

(b)    revenue from the segment and its share of the issuer’s net revenue. Revenue in 2020: BRL 116,187,483.68 (0.59% in relation to the restated).

(c)    profit or loss resulting from the segment and its share in the issuer’s net profit. Loss in 2020: BRL 3,890,023.13 (0.11% in relation to the restated).

7.3 In relation to products and services that correspond to the operating segments disclosed in item 7.2, describe:

(a)    characteristics of the production process.

Considering the corporate purpose of the Merged Company, the main processes are related to engineering activities (integration, management and after sales).

In this sense, the production and commercialization processes are mainly related to the integration and/or industrialization of solutions involving vehicle modules, shelters, communication equipment, sensors and/or IT equipment, among others.

(b)    characteristics of the distribution process.

The distribution process considers the entire production chain of the material, from its characterization in bound and out bound to the best distribution of delivery to the final customer departing from the headquarters in Campinas/SP and with the final destination of implantation in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul.

Reverse logistics activities for materials in operation are also part of the process, within the warranty period, for maintenance and return to operation.

(c)    characteristics of the markets in which it operates, in particular (i) participation in each of the markets; and (ii) conditions of competition in the markets.

Savis’s main market is Brazil, more specifically the Armed Forces, where it acts as an integrator in providing border monitoring solutions and protection of strategic structures for Defense and Security projects.

 

26


Table of Contents

Being at the forefront of the implementation of the SISFRON project (Border Monitoring and Surveillance System) for the Brazilian Army, Savis has a recognized and distinguished capacity among the national companies that fall under the EED (Strategic Defense Company) in its segment.

(d)    eventual seasonality.

In view of Brazil as the main operating market, Savis is subject to impacts related to the country’s economic and political scenarios, which can impact on budget availability and the definition of projects and acquisitions.

(e)    main inputs and raw materials, informing: (i) description of the relationships maintained with suppliers, including whether they are subject to government control or regulation, with indication of the bodies and the respective applicable legislation; (ii) eventual dependence on a few suppliers; and (iii) eventual price volatility.

Due to the characteristic of integrating activity, inputs and raw materials are mostly characterized as finished by-products, such as: vehicle modules, shelters, communication equipment, sensors and/or IT equipment, among others.

Commercially, relationships with suppliers are maintained through signed contracts and, for specific demands, sporadic contracts are made through purchase orders. In general, the aim is not to depend on any supply, which may occasionally and temporarily occur in the development phase of new technologies.

Although the development strategy is aimed at maximizing technological independence throughout the chain, some products have specific components that are subject to government control/regulation, whether from the American government due to the regulations of the United States Export Administration Regulations - EAR and International Traffic In Arms Regulations - ITAR, in addition to export licenses for specific products and services from Germany, Canada and Belgium, as well as licenses from the Brazilian Army due to the use of PCE items (Products Controlled by the Army - Legislation: R-105 - Dec. 3665 of 11/20/2000).

7.4 Identify whether there are clients who are responsible for more than 10% of the issuer’s total net revenue, stating: (a) total amount of revenue from the client; and (b) operating segments affected by revenue from the client.

Savis currently has a single client (Brazilian Army-CCOMGEX) responsible for 100% of its revenues.

ANNEX I.1

PROTOCOL AND JUSTIFICATION FOR MERGER OF SAVIS TECNOLOGIA E SISTEMAS S.A. INTO EMBRAER S.A.

(a)    The management of EMBRAER S.A., a publicly held company headquartered in the city of São José dos Campos, State of São Paulo, at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima 2170, Putim, CEP 12227-901, enrolled with the Taxpayers’ Register (CNPJ/ME) under no. 07.689.002/0001-89 (“Embraer”); and

(b)    The management of SAVIS TECNOLOGIA E SISTEMAS S.A., a privately held company headquartered in the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo, at Rua Sérgio Fernandes Borges Soares 1.000, Flex II, Módulos 13 parte, 15 parte and 17 parte, Condomínio Parque Corporativo Bresco Viracopos, CEP 13054-709, enrolled with the Taxpayers’ Register (CNPJ/ME) under no. 15.675.599/0001-30 (“Mergee”);

Embraer and Mergee shall hereinafter also be referred to, individually, as “Party” and, jointly, as “Parties” or “Companies”.

Hereby enter into, pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of article 223 et.al. of the Brazilian Corporations Law, this protocol and justification for Merger of the Mergee into Embraer (“Protocol”), accordance with the following terms and conditions:

1.    Justification for the Merger.

1.1.    The understanding is that the Merger will be advantageous for the Parties and, consequently, for their shareholders and partners, since it will result in the unification and centralization of the Parties’ corporate activities in order to rationalize operations, optimize management and minimize expenses through economy of scale. This Merger proves to be convenient considering the ever-increasing costs of maintaining different corporate structures.

1.2.    The intention of the Parties is for the Mergee to be merged into Embraer, which will absorb all of Mergee’s assets and succeed it in all rights and obligations, in accordance with the law.

1.3.    After the Merger, Embraer shall continue to dedicate itself to the development, manufacture and sale of aircraft and aerospace materials in the various segments in which Embraer operates, maintaining its registration as a publicly held company.

2.    Merger.

2.1.    For the purposes and effects of the intended Merger, the Parties opted to determine the Mergee’s net assets, as of December 31, 2020 (“Reference Date”), and appraise them through the Appraisal Report prepared by the Specialized Company indicated below, which was appointed by mutual agreement of the Parties, adopting the accounting valuation criteria for assets and liabilities contained in articles 183 and 184 of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

 

44


Table of Contents

2.2.    In compliance with legal provisions, the management of Embraer engaged specialized company PREMIUMBRAVO AUDITORES INDEPENDENTES, general partnership with head office in the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, at Av. Flamboyants da Península, 100, Block 003, offices 201 to 207, Barra da Tijuca, CEP 22.776-070, enrolled with the Taxpayers’ Register (CNPJ/ME) under No. 07.796.259/0001-30 and enrolled with the Regional Accounting Council of the State of Rio de Janeiro (CRC-RJ) under No. 004216/8 (“Specialized Company”), to carry out the appraisal of the Mergee’s net assets at book value, based on Mergee’s analytical balance sheet prepared as of the Reference Date, the result of which is contained in the appraisal report attached hereto as Annex 2.2 (“Appraisal Report”).

2.2.1.    The appointment of the Specialized Company shall be submitted to ratification by Embraer’s Shareholders’ Meeting that examines this Protocol, in accordance with article 227 of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

2.2.2.    The Specialized Company represented that (i) that there is no conflict or shared interest, current or potential, with the shareholders or partners of the Parties, or with respect to the Merger; and (ii) the shareholders or management of the Parties did not direct, limit, hinder or performed any acts that have or may have compromised access to, use or knowledge of information, assets, documents or work methodologies material to the quality of its conclusions.

2.3.    On the date hereof, Embraer directly owns 100% of Mergee’s shares. Therefore, pursuant to article 10 of CVM Instruction 565/2015 (“ICVM 565”), the obligations set forth in Chapter III of ICVM 565 shall not apply. The Merger will not result in any increase or decrease in Embraer’s shareholders’ equity, considering that 100% of Mergee’s shares are owned by Embraer and to the extent that the Mergee’s shareholders’ equity is already fully reflected in Embraer’s shareholders’ equity, as a result of application of the equity method.

2.3.1.    In addition, in substitution for the shares that are currently recorded in the Embraer’s consolidated financial statements, the Mergee’s assets, following the Merger, will be recorded directly as assets of Embraer. Thus, as a result of the intended Merger, the investment account related to Embraer’s equity interest in the Mergee’s capital stock will be replaced in Embraer’s accounting by the assets and liabilities contained in the Mergee’s balance sheet, without any change to Embraer’s share capital account.

2.3.2.    All of the shares representing the capital of the Mergee, which are held by Embraer, will be extinguished, as permitted under article 226, §1, of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

2.3.3.    As a result of the provisions set forth in item 2.3 above, Embraer’s share capital will remain unchanged, without any new shares being issued.

 

45


Table of Contents

2.3.4.    Embraer’s corporate purpose will also remain unchanged, due to the fact that the Parties have similar corporate purposes and the Mergee does not carry out any activities other than those already included in Embraer’s corporate purpose.

2.3.5.    There will also be no need for any other amendment to Embraer’s Bylaws.

2.4.    Any changes in equity occurring after the Reference Date shall be recorded in Embraer, due to the Merger, making the necessary entries in the accounting and tax books.

2.5.    Furthermore, due to the fact that Embraer is Mergee’s sole shareholder, there is no need to address the subjects of dissenting shareholders or withdrawal rights as a result of implementation of the Merger, in accordance with article 137 of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

2.6.    Inapplicability of Article 264 of Law 6,404/1976. As already stated by the Collegiate of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, in a decision issued on 02/15/08 in the scope of SEI Proceeding 19957.011351/2017-21, Article 264 of the Brazilian Corporations Law is not applicable to the Merger, since it contemplates the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary into a publicly-held parent company, without existence of any non-controlling shareholders and, consequently, a replacement ratio, therefore lacking the fundamental condition provided for in such provision.

3.    Corporate Approvals.

3.1.    Implementation of the Merger shall be subject to performance of the following acts, all of which are interdependent:

(i)    Extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of the Mergee to, in the following order (a) approve this Protocol; (b) approve Mergee’s merger into Embraer; and (c) authorize the performance of the acts required for the Merger by the Mergee’s management; and

(ii)    Extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Embraer to, in the following order (a) approve this Protocol; (b) ratify the appointment of the Specialized Company; (c) approve the Appraisal Report; (d) approve the Merger, with resulting extinction of the Mergee; and (e) authorize the performance of the acts required for the Merger by Embraer’s management.

4.    Miscellaneous.

4.1.    Completion of the Merger will lead to the extinction of the Mergee, which will be succeeded by Embraer in all its assets, rights, property, obligations and liabilities, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

4.2.    All of the Mergee’s assets, including movable assets, inventory and equipment, as well as any established tax credits, existing in the Mergee’s establishments or registered in its name, will become the property of Embraer as a result of the Merger, except the Mergee’s accumulated tax losses, which will be disregarded by Embraer for all purposes.

 

46


Table of Contents

4.3.    Embraer’s management shall be responsible for performing all acts required for implementation of the Merger, including the filing and publication of all acts related to the Merger, pursuant to article 227, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporations Law, and canceling the Mergee’s registration with the competent federal, state and municipal government departments, as well as maintaining the Mergee’s accounting books for the specified legal term.

4.4.    The Parties elect the central courts of São Paulo, State of São Paulo to resolve any matters arising out of this Protocol, waiving any other, however privileged now or in the future.

4.5.    All documents mentioned in this Protocol shall be available to Embraer’s shareholders at its respective headquarters as of the date hereof, on Embraer’s Investor Relations webpage (http://ri.embraer.com.br/), as well as on CVM’s and B3’s websites.

4.6.    This Protocol shall only be amended by means of a written document signed by the Parties.

In witness whereof, the Parties execute this Protocol in 5 (five) copies of identical content and form, together with 2 witnesses, for all legal purposes and effects.

São Paulo/SP, March 18, 2021.
