‘EX-97.0’   —   Clawback Policy re: Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation


This Exhibit is an HTML Document rendered as filed.  [ Alternative Formats ]



NEXA RESOURCES S.A.
POLICY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION

1.               Purpose. The purpose of this Policy is to describe the circumstances in which Executive Officers will be required to repay or return Erroneously Awarded Compensation to the Company Group in accordance with the Clawback Rules. Each Executive Officer shall be required to sign and return to the Company the Acknowledgement Form attached hereto as Exhibit A pursuant to which such Executive Officer will acknowledge that he or she is bound by the terms of this Policy; provided, however, that this Policy shall apply to, and be enforceable against, any Executive Officer and his or her successors (as specified in Section 11 of this Policy), including those who succeed any Executive Officer on an interim basis, regardless of whether or not such Executive Officer properly signs and returns to the Company such Acknowledgement Form and regardless of whether or not such Executive Officer is aware of his or her status as an Executive Officer. This Policy is designed to comply with the Clawback Rules.

2.               Administration. Except as specifically set forth herein, this Policy shall be administered by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance (CNG) Committee of the Board unless the Board determines to administer this Policy itself. Any determinations made by the CNG Committee shall be final and binding on all affected individuals and need not be uniform with respect to each individual covered by this Policy. Subject to any limitation under applicable law, the Board and/or the CNG Committee may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company Group to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).

3.               Definitions. For purposes of this Policy, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below.

(a)             Accounting Restatement” shall mean an accounting restatement: (i) due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws (as used in the Clawback Rules), including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements (a “Big R” restatement); or (ii) that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (a “little r” restatement). For the avoidance of doubt, financial statements to be considered in the previous paragraph are Company’s consolidated financial statements for the relevant fiscal year(s) prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“Consolidated IASB IFRS”) included in the relevant fillings of the Company under the securities laws.

(b)             Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c)             Clawback Eligible Incentive Compensation” shall mean, with respect to each individual who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the applicable performance period for any Incentive-based Compensation (whether or not such Executive Officer is serving at the time the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is required to be repaid to the Company Group),

 
 

all Incentive-based Compensation Received by such Executive Officer: (i) on or after the Effective Date; (ii) after beginning service as an Executive Officer; (iii) while the Company has a class of securities listed on the NYSE; and (iv) during the applicable Clawback Period.

(d)             Clawback Period” shall mean, with respect to any Accounting Restatement, the three completed fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Restatement Date and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) of less than nine months within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years.

(e)             Clawback Rules” shall mean Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any applicable rules or standards adopted by the SEC (including Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act), the NYSE (including Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) or the rules of any other U.S. national securities exchange or national securities association on which the Company’s securities are listed, in each case as may be in effect from time to time.

(f)           CNG Committee” shall mean the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, or any other committee designated by the Board to administer the Policy, and in the absence of such a committee, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board.

(g)             Company” shall mean Nexa Resources S.A.

(h)             Company Group” shall mean the Company, together with each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

(i)              Effective Date” shall mean October 2, 2023.

(j)              Erroneously Awarded Compensation” shall mean, with respect to each Executive Officer in connection with an Accounting Restatement, the amount of Clawback Eligible Incentive Compensation that exceeds the amount of Incentive-based Compensation that otherwise would have been Received had it been determined based on the restated amounts, computed without regard to any taxes paid.

(k)             Exchange Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(l)              Executive Officer” shall mean any individual who is (or was at any time during the applicable Clawback Period) a managing or executive officer as determined in the Company’s Article of Association or by the Board or the CNG Committee in accordance with the definition of “executive officer” as set forth in the Clawback Rules and any other senior executive, employee or other personnel of the Company Group who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Policy by the CNG Committee. For the avoidance of doubt, the CNG Committee shall have full discretion to determine which individuals in the Company Group shall be considered an “Executive Officer” for purposes of this Policy. Individuals serving in the following roles at the Company Group shall be deemed to be an Executive Officer for the purposes of this Policy: the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president of the Company in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer

 
 

who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policymaking functions for the Company or Company Group.

(m)           Financial Reporting Measures” shall mean measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures. Stock price and total shareholder return shall for purposes of this Policy be considered Financial Reporting Measures. For the avoidance of doubt, a Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the SEC.

(n)             Incentive-based Compensation” shall mean any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure.

(o)             Impracticable” shall mean, in accordance with the good faith determination of the independent directors of the CNG Committee that either: (i) the direct expenses paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy against an Executive Officer would exceed the amount to be recovered, after the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover the applicable Erroneously Awarded Compensation, documented such reasonable attempt(s) and provided such documentation to the NYSE (ii) recovery would violate Luxembourg law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, provided that, before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on violation of Luxembourg law, the Company has obtained an opinion of Luxembourg counsel, acceptable to the NYSE, that recovery would result in such a violation and a copy of the opinion is provided to the NYSE; or (iii) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company Group, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.

(p)             Method of Recovery” shall include, but is not limited to: (i) requiring reimbursement of Erroneously Awarded Compensation; (ii) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards; (iii) offsetting the Erroneously Awarded Compensation from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company Group to the Executive Officer; (iv) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and (v) taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by applicable law, as determined by the CNG Committee.

(q)             NYSE” shall mean the New York Stock Exchange.

(r)              Policy” shall mean this Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time.

(s)             Received” shall, with respect to any Incentive-based Compensation, mean deemed receipt and Incentive-based Compensation shall be deemed received in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive-based Compensation occurs after the end of that period. For the avoidance of doubt, Incentive-Based Compensation that is subject to both a Financial Reporting Measure vesting condition and a service-based vesting

 
 

condition shall be considered received when the Financial Reporting Measure is achieved, even if the Incentive-Based Compensation continues to be subject to the service-based vesting condition.

(t)              Restatement Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of: (i) the date the Board, a committee of the Board or the Executive Officer or Executive Officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement; or (ii) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.

(u)             SEC” shall mean the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

4.               Repayment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

(a)             In the event the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the CNG Committee shall reasonably promptly (in accordance with the applicable Clawback Rules) determine the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation for each Executive Officer in connection with such Accounting Restatement and shall reasonably promptly thereafter provide each Executive Officer with notice containing the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation and a demand for repayment or return, as applicable. For Incentive-based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the applicable Accounting Restatement, the amount shall be determined by the CNG Committee based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-based Compensation was Received (in which case, the Company shall maintain documentation of such determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the NYSE). The CNG Committee is authorized to engage, on behalf of the Company, any third-party advisors it deems advisable in order to perform any calculations contemplated by this Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, recovery under this Policy with respect to an Executive Officer shall not require the finding of any misconduct by such Executive Officer or such Executive Officer being found responsible for the accounting error leading to an Accounting Restatement.

(b)             In the event that any repayment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is owed to the Company Group, the CNG Committee shall, or shall cause one or more other members of the Company Group to, recover reasonably promptly the Erroneously Awarded Compensation through any Method of Recovery it deems reasonable and appropriate in its discretion based on all applicable facts and circumstances and taking into account the time value of money and the cost to shareholders of delaying recovery. For the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent permitted pursuant to the Clawback Rules, in no event may the Company Group accept an amount that is less than the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in satisfaction of an Executive Officer’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to take the actions contemplated in this Section 4(b) if the independent directors serving on the CNG Committee determines in good faith that recovery would be Impracticable. In implementing the actions contemplated in this Section 4(b), the CNG Committee will act in accordance with the listing standards and requirements of the NYSE and with the applicable Clawback Rules.

 
 

5.               Reporting and Disclosure. The Company shall file all disclosures with respect to this Policy in accordance with the requirements of U.S. federal securities laws, including any disclosure required by applicable SEC rules.

6.               Indemnification Prohibition. No member of the Company Group shall be permitted to indemnify any Executive Officer against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is repaid, returned or recovered pursuant to the terms of this Policy and/or pursuant to the Clawback Rules, including any payment or reimbursement for the cost of third-party insurance purchased by any Executive Officer to cover any such loss under this Policy and/or pursuant to the Clawback Rules. Further, no member of the Company Group shall enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-based Compensation from the application of this Policy or that waives the Company Group’s right to recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date). Any such purported indemnification (whether oral or in writing) shall be null and void.

7.               Interpretation. The CNG Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the Clawback Rules. The terms of this Policy shall also be construed and enforced in such a manner as to comply with applicable law, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and any other law or regulation that the CNG Committee determines is applicable. In the event any provision of this Policy is determined to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law (including under Luxembourg law)), such provision shall be applied to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required by applicable law.

8.               Effective Date. This Policy shall be effective as of the Effective Date.

9.               Amendment; Termination. The Board may modify, amend or terminate this Policy, in whole or in part, from time to time in its discretion and shall amend any or all of the provisions of this Policy as it deems necessary, including as and when it determines that it is legally required by any federal securities law, SEC rule or NYSE rule. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment or termination would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment or termination) cause the Company to violate the Clawback Rules, or any federal securities law, SEC rule or NYSE rule. Furthermore, unless otherwise determined by the Board or as otherwise amended, this Policy shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner necessary to comply with any change in the Clawback Rules.

10.            Other Recoupment Rights; No Additional Payments. The Board and the CNG Committee intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The CNG Committee may require that any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or any other agreement entered into on or after the Effective Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require an Executive Officer to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Executive Officers shall be deemed to have accepted continuing employment on terms that include compliance with the Policy, to the extent of its otherwise applicable provisions, and to be

 
 

contractually bound by its enforcement provisions. Executive Officers who cease employment or service with the Company Group shall continue to be bound by the terms of the Policy with respect to Incentive Compensation subject to this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company Group under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, cash-based bonus plan, equity award agreement or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company Group. Nothing in this Policy precludes the Company from implementing any additional Clawback or recoupment policies with respect to Executive Officers. Application of this Policy does not preclude the Company Group from taking any other action to enforce any Executive Officer’s obligations to the Company or the Company Group, including termination of employment or institution of civil or criminal proceedings or any other remedies that may be available to the Company or Company Group with respect to any Executive Officer.

11.            Successors. This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Executive Officers and their beneficiaries, estates, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives to the extent required by the Clawback Rules or as otherwise determined by the CNG Committee.
