24.3

SEC/DOJ and Brazilian public prosecutor’s investigations

 

   

In October 2016, the Company finalized definitive agreements with the United States and Brazilian authorities for the settlement of allegations for non-compliance with anti-corruption laws in the US and certain Brazilian laws.

Under the final agreements with the DOJ (Department of Justice) and the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), the Company assumed the following main obligations:

 

   

Payment of US$ 98.2 to the SEC (of which US$ 20.0 or R$ 64.0 due to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM or Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) and the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF or Ministério Público Federal) under the term of undertaking (TCAC or Termo de Compromisso de Ajuste de Conduta), as disgorgement of profits.

 

   

Payment of US$ 107.3 to the DOJ as a penalty for one count of conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery and books and records provisions of the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and one count of violating the internal controls provisions of the FCPA.

 

   

Under an agreement with the DOJ on conditional deferral of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) against the Company, it agreed that liability for the recognized facts will be deferred for 03 (three) years, after which period the charges will be dismissed if the Company does not violate the terms of the DPA.; and

 

   

To contract external and independent monitoring for a period of 03 (three) years.

In February 2017, the United States authorities appointed a monitor as required under the above-mentioned definitive agreements with the United States authorities. As expected, the monitor annually presents reports containing certain observations and recommendations to further improve the Company’s compliance program, including the review or creation of anti-corruption and compliance related policies and procedures.

As a consequence of the definitive agreements with the United States and Brazilian authorities, Embraer and the Attorney General’s Office of the Dominican Republic executed a collaboration agreement on July 28, 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company undertook to cooperate with the investigation of facts related to the transaction occurred in that country and paid US$ 7.04 to the Dominican State.

Related proceedings and other developments are ongoing and could result in additional fines that may be substantial and possibly other sanctions and adverse consequences, which may be substantial. The Company believes that there is no adequate basis for estimating accruals or quantifying possible contingencies related to these matters.

 

   

Class Action: In August 2016, a putative securities class action was filed in a US court against the Company and certain of its former and current executives. In March 30, 2018, the court judged the motion to dismiss in favor of the Company and there was no appeal against this decision, thus the lawsuit was closed.
