(**) On May 13, 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court issued a final judgment which confirmed that the methodology for calculating PIS and COFINS (Federal Social Contributions on Gross Revenues) tax claims to which taxpayers are entitled to, should exclude from its base the total output of ICMS, calculated on a gross basis. This decision led to a recognition of approximately $53 million tax credit in Brazilian subsidiaries, out of which $36 million were recognized in other operating income and $17 million in financial results (impacting in Finance Income and Finance Cost). In addition the tax charge related to this gain amounted to $12 million.


(***) On November 1, 2021 the Company transferred 100% of the shares of Geneva Structural Tubes LLC (“Geneva”) to MKK USA Inc., a subsidiary of Maruichi Steel Tube Ltd of Japan for an aggregate price of $24.3 million. The gain of this transaction ascended to approximately $6.8 million.
