Options granted on subsidiary
 
As part of the shareholders agreement between the Ambev and ELJ, an option to sell (“put”) and to purchase (“call”) was issued, which
may
result in an acquisition by Ambev of the remaining shares of Tenedora CND, for a value based on EBITDA, +/- net debt, from operations, the “put” exercisable annually until
2019
and the “call” from
2019.
On
December 31, 2017
the put option held by ELJ is valued at
R$5,520.2
(
R$4,878.5
on
December 31, 2016)
and the liability categorized as “Level
3”,
as the Note
27
(b) and in accordance with the IFRS
3.
No
value has been assigned to the call option held by the Company, since the likelihood of exercise is remote. The fair value of this consideration deferred was calculated by using standard valuation techniques (present value of the principal amount and future interest rates, discounted by the market rate). The criteria used are based on market information and from reliable sources and the fair value is revaluated on an annual basis.
As disclosed in Note
1,
on
December
1st,
2017,
Ambev informed its shareholders and the general market that the E. León Jimenes, S.A. (“ELJ”) will exercise partially its put option of approximatelly
30%
of capital stock by Tenedora. Due to the partial exercise of put option, the Company will be the holder of approximately
85%
of Tenedora. Additionally, was approved the change of the call option term from
2019
to
2022.
The operation was subject to certain conditions which were consummated on
January 18, 2018,
as presented in Note
35
-
Events after the reporting period
.
 
As part of the agreement to acquire the remaining shares of Sucos do Bem, a put option on interest in subsidiary determined by gross revenue of its products and exercisable from

27
– Financial instruments and risks
.
 
(
d.5
) Accounting for acquisition of non-controlling interests
 
In transactions with non-controlling interests of the same business, even when performed at arm's length terms, that present valid economic grounds and reflect normal market conditions, will be consolidated by the applicable accounting standards as occurred within the same accounting entity.
 
As determined by IFRS
10,
any difference between the amount paid (fair value) for the acquisition of non-controlling interests and are related to carrying amount of such non-controlling interest shall be recognized directly in controlling shareholders’ equity. The acquisition of non-controlling interest related to Old Ambev, the above mentioned adjustment was recognized in the Carrying value adjustments when applicable.
 
(e) Earnings per share
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share of the stock option and deferred stock
 
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the net income attributable to equity holders of Ambev and the proportional weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
 
Diluted earnings per share of the stock option and deferred stock is based on the net income attributable to equity holders of Ambev and the adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive shares, as follows:

At
December 31, 2017,
the Company has done the appropriations to retained earnings, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate law and the Company’s bylaws. The dividends payments made until
December 2017
were approved at the Board of Directors’ Meeting.
 
Regarding the basis for dividends, the Company believes that the predecessor basis of accounting, as well as its presentation for comparative purposes, will
not
affect the determination of the minimum mandatory dividend. Therefore, the Company intends to adjust the calculation basis of the minimum mandatory dividend to delete any current and future impacts on net income resulting from the adoption of this accounting practice, related to the amortization/depreciation of surplus assets or even a possible impairment of goodwill.
