(i) Although the Company held a majority of the voting capital, the entities are accounted under the equity method due to the stockholders' agreement where relevant decisions are shared with other parties. (ii) CSP is a joint venture and its results are accounted for under the equity method, in which the accumulated losses are capped to the Company ́s interest in the investee’s capital based on the applicable law and requirements. That is, after the investment is reduced to zero, the Company does not recognize further losses nor liabilities associated with the investee. (iii) “Equity results and other results in associates and joint ventures” presented in the Income Statement considers, in addition to the equity results in associates and joint ventures shown in the table above, the results of Renova Foundation and Samarco (note 21) and other results with group entities.
