The lines of credit total R$500 million (approximately $89.6 million) and are denominated as follows: Sub-credit A in the amount of R$140 million (approximately $25.1 million), Sub-credit B in the amount of R$60 million (approximately $10.8 million), Sub-credit C in the amount of R$210 million (approximately $37.6 million) and Sub-credit D in the amount of R$90 million (approximately $16.1 million). The principal amount of the debt arising from the Sub-credit A will bear an interest rate of 2.20% per annum, and that arising from the Sub-credit C will bear an interest rate of 2.75% per annum above the Reference Rate (TR) 226, published in the Time Series Management System - SGS of the Central Bank of Brazil, under code no. 226, or any other that may replace it. The principal amount of the debt owed under Sub-credit B will bear interest at the rate of 1.10% per annum and under Sub-credit D will bear interest at the rate of 1.65% per annum plus the fixed rate published by the BNDES System. The Company shall pay a one-time commission fee of R$2.5 million (approximately $0.5 million). Such credit lines shall be used by the Company within 42 months from the date of the Financing Agreement. The principal of debt arising from each Sub-credit of this Financing Agreement shall be paid to BNDES in 25 semiannual and successive installments starting in 2028. The Financing Agreement can be early terminated, and payment of any outstanding amount can be accelerated, by BNDES in certain events provided for in the Financing Agreement.
