On January 23, 2023, Eve Brazil entered into a loan agreement (the “BNDES Loan Agreement”) with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social (“BNDES”), pursuant to which BNDES agreed to grant two lines of credit to Eve Brazil with an aggregate amount of R$490 million (approximately $102 million), to support the first phase of the development of the Company’s eVTOL project. All USD approximations use foreign currency exchange rate data as of June 30, 2023.

 

The first line of credit (“Sub-credit A”), in the amount of R$80 million (approximately $17 million), will be granted in Brazilian reais by Fundo Nacional Sobre Mudança Climática (“FNMC”), a BNDES fund that supports businesses focused on mitigating climate change and reducing carbon emissions, and will be subject to an interest rate of 4.55% per year. Sub-credit A has maturity dates on a monthly basis from March 2026 through February 2035. The second line of credit (“Sub-credit B”), in the amount of R$410 million (approximately $86 million), will be granted in US Dollar, as adjusted on a daily basis by the US Dollar sale rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil as the “PTAX” rate, and will be subject to an interest rate of 1.10% per year plus a fixed rate to be published by BNDES every 15 days in accordance with the BNDES Loan Agreement. Sub-credit B has maturity dates on a quarterly basis from May 2027 through February 2035. Such credit lines shall be used by Eve Brazil within 36 months from the date of signing of the BNDES Loan Agreement. Otherwise, BNDES may terminate the BNDES Loan Agreement and any loans shall be paid by no later than February 15, 2035. In addition, Eve Brazil shall pay a one-time R$2 million (approximately $428,000) fee to BNDES, whether or not Eve Brazil ends up using any credit.

 

The BNDES Loan Agreement provides that the availability of such lines of credit is subject to BNDES’s rules and regulations and, in the case of the first line of credit, FNMC’s budget and, in the case of the second line of credit, BNDES’s financing program (which is subject to funding by the Conselho Monetário Nacional, Brazil’s National Monetary Council). Additionally, the BNDES Loan Agreement provides that the borrowing of any amount under these lines of credit is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the promulgation of a new law (which condition only applies to the first line of credit), the receipt by BNDES of a guarantee from an acceptable financial institution, absence of any facts that would have a material adverse effect on the economic or financial condition of Eve Brazil, and approval of the project by the applicable environmental entities.

As of June 30, 2023, Eve has not drawn from the lines of credit.
