The Compensation will be calculated exponentially and cumulatively pro rata temporis, per Business Days lapsed, over the Unit Par Value, as of, and including, the Issue Date until the Maturity Date, when the payment of the Compensation shall be owed, pursuant to Clause II of this Instrument, or until the date of declaration of early maturity due to an Event of Default or on the date of a possible early redemption of the Commercial Papers, whichever occurs first (excluding this date), in accordance with the calculation criteria set in the “Commercial Paper Formula Guidebook—CETIP21” [Caderno de Fórmulas de Notas Comerciais—CETIP21], available for consultation on the Internet (http://www.b3.com.br). The Compensation shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

“VNe” corresponds to the Unit Par Value, informed/calculated with eight (8) decimal places, not rounded up or down;

“FatorJuros” corresponds to the interest factor composed of the variation parameter plus spread, calculated with nine (9) decimal places, rounded up or down, as follows:

FatorJuros = (FatorDIxFatorSPread), where:

“FatorDI” corresponds to the product of the DI Rates, from the Issue Date, inclusive, to the calculation date, exclusive, calculated with eight (8) decimal places, rounded up or down, as defined below:

 

Fator Dl    LOGO    , where:

“n” corresponds to the total number of DI Rates considered during the Capitalization Period, with ‘n’ being an integer;

“TDIk corresponds to the DI Rate, expressed daily, calculated with eight (8) decimal places, rounded up or down, as follows:

 

LOGO    , where:

k = order number of the DI Rates, ranging from 1 to n;

“DIk corresponds to the DI Rate of the k order disclosed by B3, used with an identical number of decimal places disclosed by the entity responsible for calculating it.

“FatorSpread” corresponds to the fixed interest surcharge, calculated with nine (9) decimal places, rounded up or down, as follows:

 

FatorSpread =    LOGO    , where:

spread = 3.2500

“DP” corresponds to the number of Business Days considered in the Capitalization Period, with “DP” being an integer.

For purposes of calculating the Compensation: (i) the factor resulting from the expression (1 + TDIk) will be considered with sixteen (16) decimal places, not rounded up or down; (ii) the product of the daily factors (1 + TDIk) is obtained, and for each accrued daily factor the result is truncated with sixteen (16) decimal places, applying the next daily factor and so on, until the last one to be considered; (iii) once the factors are accrued, the resulting “FatorDI” is considered with eight (8) decimal places, rounded up or down; (iv) the factor resulting from the expression (FatorDI x FatorSpread) is considered with nine (9) decimal places, rounded up or down; and (v) the DI Rate shall be used considering the identical number of decimal places disclosed by B3, unless expressly stated otherwise. “Capitalization Period” is defined as the time interval that begins on the Issue Date and ends on the Maturity Date, regularly or early, or on the date of payment of the Mandatory Early Redemption of the Commercial Papers. In the event of a cash default, the

In the event of discontinuance, absence of calculation or disclosure for more than ten (10) consecutive days after the expected date for its calculation or disclosure, or legal impossibility of application to the DI Rate on the Commercial Papers, or judicial order prevent the use thereof, then the DI Rate shall be replaced with the average interest rate weighted by the volume of financing operations for one day, backed by short-term federal public bonds, calculated by the Special Settlement and Custody System (SELIC) at the time of such verification, which have been traded in the last thirty (30) days, with a maturity of up to three hundred and sixty (360) days (“SELIC Rate”).
