2.1. Documents and Information for Compliance with CVM Instructions 481/2009 and 552/2015

 

2.1.1.Proposal for Overall Compensation of Managers for the Fiscal Year 2022

 

The Company's Management proposes a global and annual amount of R$ 28,173,890.20 (twenty-eight million, one hundred and seventy-three thousand, eight hundred and ninety BRL and twenty cents) for the compensation of the Company's Managers (Board of Directors and Executive Officers) for the Fiscal year 2022, in compliance with the provisions of the legislation in force and the Company's Bylaws. This amount includes the labor and tax charges on the amounts of salary. The net amount for the compensation of the Managers for the Fiscal year 2022, corresponding to R$ 25,158,064.15 (twenty-five million, one hundred and fifty-eight thousand, sixty-four BRL and fifteen cents), which represents an increase of 54% (fifty-four percent) compared to the global net compensation received by the Management in the fiscal year of 2021. The variation still reflects the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic that were extended and had as a consequence the non-achievement of the trigger to the distribution of Bonuses for the fiscal year of 2021, as for the fiscal year of 2022 there is an expectation of resumption and with that the achievement of the Company’s corporate goals.

 

For the fiscal year of 2021, it was approved a proposal for net compensation of the management in the amount of R$ 24,064,422.84 (twenty-four million sixty-four thousand four hundred and twenty-two BRL and eighty-four cents). The amount actually perceived during the referred period was R$ 16,340,684.25 (sixteen million, three hundred and forty thousand, six hundred and eighty-four BRL and twenty-five cents), which represents a 32% (thirty-two percent) decrease in relation to the approved net amount.

2.1.3.       MANAGERS' COMMENTS ON THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL SITUATION (ITEM 10 OF THE REFERENCE FORM)

 

10.1 MANAGERS' COMMENTS ON:

 

The financial data referred to below have been taken from our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. These financial statements have been prepared under management's responsibility in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Accounting practices adopted in Brazil correspond to those included in Brazilian corporate law and to Pronouncements, Guidelines and Interpretations issued by Brazil's Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by Brazil's Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

 

Finally, this item contains data relating to our business sector, financial indicators and market share estimates that have been sourced from internal surveys, publicly available information and industry publications. We have included data from reports compiled by official public sources such as Brazil’s Central Bank (BACEN), Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE), Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), and Airport Infrastructure Company (INFRAERO). Data posted in these publications are taken from sources considered trustworthy, however we are unable to guarantee that they are accurate and complete. The abovementioned internal surveys and estimates have not been independently verified.

 

a.       Overall financial and equity conditions

 

Covid-19 significantly impacted the world economy in 2020 and 2021. In response to growing numbers of cases and deaths, many governments ordered travel bans that affected millions of people, moreover traffic in many places was subject to quarantine measures. The Covid-19 pandemic has also led to significantly volatile financial and commodity markets worldwide.

 

Throughout this period, Management has shown disciplined management of our capacity and balanced working capital in order to guarantee sustainability for the business, considering its positioning in the domestic market and its financial position.

 

According to the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), GDP was back to a growth path in 2021 to post 4.6% year on year, against 2020, reflecting the economy's gradual recovery. Inflation measured by the Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA) reached 10.1% in 2021. During 2021, the Brazilian Real (BRL) depreciated 6.88% against the US dollar (USD), comparing its December 31, 2021 and 2020 exchange rates. In addition, after several rate hikes, Brazil's Selic base rate ended the year at 9.25%.

We believe that our liquidity and cash position have been crucial factors for our success. Total liquidity (cash, cash equivalents, short and long-term financial investments and accounts receivable) totaled R$1,710.6 million at December 31, 2021 (R$2,576.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and R$4,273.0 million as of December 31, 2019) and at the end of 2021 accounted for 23.0% of our net operating revenues from the previous twelve months (40.4% in 2020 and 30.8% in 2019). Given the challenging and uncertain scenario, Management has been committed to honoring our financial commitments on a daily basis and preserving our cash and liquidity position.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, we concluded important initiatives to strengthen our capital structure, such as:

·acquiring equity interest from Smiles' non-controlling shareholders;
·issuing complementary Senior Secured Notes for an additional US$450 million;
·a R$423 million capital increase led by our controlling shareholders with minority shareholders taking part in the subscription too;
·fully paying off the remaining balance of our principal amortizable debt, guaranteed financing, in the amount of R$410 million of principal and interest, with the release of collateral;
6 
 
 
·concluding short-term debt refinancing with local banks.

 

In addition, we signed into an exclusive codeshare agreement with American Airlines for a planned contribution to our capital of US$200 million, the effects of which should be reflected in the financial information for the first half of 2022 with the conclusion of the transaction.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, we had a negative EBITDA (which we define as operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of R$(2,498.8) million and a (33. 6)% EBITDA margin against R$918.7 million and 14.4% margin in 2020 and R$3,860.7 million with a 27.8% a margin in 2019.

 

EBITDA fell by R$3,417.6 million between 2021 and 2020 due mainly to non-recurring transactions related to provisioning for returns recognized in the context of accelerated fleet renewals, contingency provisioning related to the additional 1% COFINS rate recognized in the year ended December 31, 2021, and material gains obtained from sale-leaseback transactions in the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, oil prices per barrel spiked in 2021 and the average USD/BRL exchange rate compared to 2020 impacted our typically recurring operating costs. EBITDA's R$2,942.0 million fall between 2020 and 2019 was due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly affected our operations due to social distancing recommendations, travel restrictions and recommendations and borders being closed to curb the spread of the disease.

 

We believe that EBITDA is a useful operational performance metric for airlines since it shows ability to cover expenses while also facilitating comparison with others from the same industry.

 

As of December 31, 2021, our current liquidity ratio (reckoned as current assets divided by current liabilities) was 0.24 against 0.31 in 2020 and 0.48 in 2019.

 

Our gross debt at December 31, 2021 was R$22,663.0 million, considering R$765 million debt repayment (consisting of R$240 million financial debt and R$525 million debt incurred to lease aircraft during the year) against R$17,544.9 at December 31, 2020 and R$ 14,462.6 in 2019. Gross debt consists of loans and borrowings as well as leases /lease-purchase agreements. Our adjusted gross debt excludes amounts due on perpetual bonds, which have no due date.

 

We are subject to restrictive covenants through our Debentures and Senior Secured Notes 2026.

 

After renegotiating these debentures' terms, the indicators stipulated in the deeds for our 7th and 8th issues will have to be measured as of December 2022.

 

In the context of our Senior Secured Notes 2026, we have to fulfill guarantee conditions related to parts held in stock and intellectual property. As of December 31, 2021, our GLA parts and equipment under warranty related to this contract complied with contractual conditions.

 

The following summary shows consolidated balance sheet accounts for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

Possibility of Redeeming Shares

c.       Ability to pay in relation to financial commitments

 

Liquidity

 

To manage our liquidity, our total cash is considered as well as our balances of accounts receivable. Our receivables are affected by terms for receipt of our credit-card receivables. Our customers may purchase tickets against payment by installment using their credit cards, normally causing one- to two-month interval between paying our suppliers and expenses and effectively being paid revenues from our services. When necessary, we obtain loans to fund working capital, which may be secured by our receivables in order to finance the sales-revenues cycle. We have a strong liquidity position consisting of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and restricted cash and accounts receivable which accounted for 23.0% of our net operating revenues in the last twelve months at the end of 2021.

We expect to make payments for acquisition of aircraft using proceeds from our operating revenues, borrowings contracted through short-term credit facilities and/or supplier finance. We expect to finance the balance of the purchase price of the Boeing 737-MAX aircraft from a combination of sources such as cash from our operations, low-interest bank financing agreements, sale and lease transactions with the purchaser itself - (sale-leaseback), offerings of debt or equity securities and/or financing from the supplier. As of December 31, 2021, we had R$451.3 million in advances for aircraft purchases.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2021, we posted a negative EBITDA of R$2,498.8 million against R$918.7 million in 2020 and R$3,860.7 million in 2019.

d.       Sources of funding working capital and investments in non-current assets used

 

Our strategy is to mainly rely on cash flows from our operations to get working capital for current and future operations. Our operating cash flows are affected by certain aircraft operating lease agreements that require maintenance reserve deposits accounts for these aircraft, with funds at specific levels. Funds will be withdrawn from maintenance reserve accounts to reimburse certain structural maintenance expenses when incurred. We believe that the amounts currently deposited and that will be deposited, plus our own cash, are sufficient to cover our future aircraft maintenance costs for the duration of the respective operating leases.

 

We finance the outstanding balance on the purchase price of Boeing MAX aircraft through a combination of sources such as cash flow from our operations, low-interest bank loans, sale and leaseback transactions, debt or equity offerings and/or supplier finance.

 

In January 2022, we signed a financing agreement with Castlelake LP for up to US$600 million to finance purchases of new 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The transaction will comprise 10 leases with option to purchase bearing approximately 6% annual interest charges, and 2 sale-leaseback transactions. The proceeds from the transaction will cover 100% of new aircraft purchase costs plus additional funds to cover obligations and costs of returning Gol’s 737 NG aircraft. To date, GOL has received two aircraft under this contract.

 

e.       Sources of funding for working capital and investments in non-current assets that we intend to use to cover liquidity shortfalls

 

When necessary, we obtain loans to finance our working capital, which may be secured by our receivables, in order to finance the sales-revenues cycle. Our liquidity position (cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term financial investments and accounts receivable) amounted to 23.0% of our net operating revenues for the last twelve months. We are also committed to avoiding the pressure of material amounts of financial debt falling due within a two-year horizon, thus ensuring healthy levels of liquidity.

Our material financial contracts in effect at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

 

Exchangeable Senior Notes (“ESN”)

 

In 2019, acting through GOL Equity Finance (“Issuer”), a special purpose company incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, we issued Exchangeable Senior Notes (“ESN”) due in 2024, which will be bear 3.75% p.a. nominal interest charges to be paid semiannually. This transaction was guaranteed by our own company and our GLA subsidiary.

 

Our noteholders will be entitled to exchange them for American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") at the ratio of one ADS per two of Gol’s preferred shares. The initial exchange rate for the notes is 49.3827 ADSs per US$1,000 of the notes' principal which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately US$20.25 per ADS and represents a premium for exchanging of approximately 35% above the initial public offering price of the ADSs sold in the simultaneous offering of ADSs described below, which was US$15.00 per ADS. The notes' exchange rate may be adjusted if and when certain events take place.

 

Notes may be settled in cash, ADSs or a combination of both.

Additionally, the issuer's private derivative trades (aka “capped calls”) with some of the bonds' subscribers and/or other financial institutions (“counterparts”), with which we generally expect to reduce potential dilution of preferred shares and GOL ADSs when converting/exchanging any notes and/or offsetting any cash payments required of the issuer exceeding the principal amount of the notes exchanged/converted, as applicable, so that said reduction or offsetting will be subject to a limit/cap based on highest price. The capped calls' highest price will be approximately US$27.75 per ADS (a premium of approximately 85% over initial public offering price of the ADSs sold in the simultaneous offering of ADSs).

 

As of December 31, 2021, the portion corresponding to the option to convert securities into shares at market price corresponds to R$162.6 million.

h.       significant alterations in each item of the financial statements

 

The financial information shown was taken from our consolidated financial statements and their respective notes prepared for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and IFRS, which adequately reflect the results from our operations and our financial and equity situation in the respective periods.

 

The information included in this item 10 relating to our sector of activity, its financial indicators, and market share estimates, were obtained through internal surveys, publicly available information and industry publications. Information was included from reports prepared by official public sources such as Brazil’s Central Bank (BACEN), Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE), Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), and Airport Infrastructure Company (INFRAERO). The information in these publications comes from reputedly reliable sources, however we cannot guarantee that is accurate and complete. These internal surveys and estimates have not been independently verified.

 

Brazilian Economic Scenario

 

As a Brazilian airline operating basically in our domestic market, we are affected by the country's macroeconomic conditions. Brazil's economic growth rate is a key indicator determining our growth and results from operations.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic's evolution in 2020 and 2021 had a severe adverse impact on the global economy and Brazil's macroeconomic environment, which led to an accentuated depreciation of the BRL and a major fall in demand for air travel globally and locally.

 

We are materially affected by currency fluctuations, particularly the USD/BRL exchange rate. In 2020 and 2021, 36.5% and 46.7%, respectively, of our operating costs and expenses were denominated in USD and therefore subject to fluctuating exchange rates.

 

Inflation also affects us and will likely continue to do so. In 2020 and 2021, 63.5% and 53.3% respectively of our operating costs and expenses were BRL denominated, and many of our suppliers and service providers usually raise their prices to reflect local inflation.

Comparison of operating and financial results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

 

Our operating loss was R$3,834.6 million in 2021 against operating profits of R$951.8 and R$2,132.7 million in 2019 and 2018 respectively. Our 2021 operating margin was negative 51.6% showing a reversal from 2020s 14.9% margin and advance against 2019's the 15.4% margin. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recognized net losses of R$7,183.8 million, R$5,895.2 million and R$179.3 million, respectively.

 

Net Operating Revenues

 

Net operating revenues for 2021 rose 16.7% to reach R$7,433.4 million. 2020's R$6,371.8 million was up 46.0% from 2019.

 

Our 2021 operating revenue per available seat kilometer (“RASK”) rose 8.1%, from R$25.34 in 2020 to R$27.40 in 2021, due to higher demand in the domestic leisure travel market and higher yield.

 

Our 2020 RASK was down 8.3% from R$27.40 in 2019 to R$25.3 in 2020.

 

Our revenue per passenger per available seat kilometer (“PRASK”) totaled R$25.40 to show an increase of 10.4% against 2020's R$23.00.

 

Operating costs and expenses

 

2021 operating costs and expenses totaled R$11,268.0 million to show an increase of 53.9% on the previous year, mainly due to: (i) fuel's higher average price per liter, (ii) significantly higher maintenance costs and expenses related to our accelerated fleet renewal and return of Boeing 737-700/800 Next Generation aircraft; and (iii) the BRL's depreciation against the USD, which adversely affects us by increasing our operating costs and expenses denominated in or linked to USD (including fuel). In addition, in 2020, we recognized a gain of R$551.9 million from sale-leaseback transactions for 11 aircraft.

 

Our 2020 operating costs and expenses totaled R$7,323.2 million to show a fall of 37.6% against the previous year's, mainly: (i) 32% lower personnel expenses; (ii) 37% lower depreciation and amortization expenses; (iii) the USD's appreciation against the BRL averaging 7.9%; and (iv) income from sales of 25 aircraft in 2018, compared to the sale of 1 aircraft in 2019.

 

Personnel expenses for salaries and benefits in 2021 totaled R$2,034.1 million, an increase of 15.2% against the previous year, mainly due to the end of the temporary employment renegotiations that we introduced in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, subsequently return to full-time hours and salaries as well as employee salary hikes to offset inflation. Salaries per ASK rose 6.8%. At December 31, 2021, our 15,002 headcount was up 1.3% from December 31, 2020.

 

Salaries and employee benefits in 2020 were down to R$1,765.6 million from R$2,361.3 million in 2019, mainly due to our adherence to Law 14.020/20, which allowed salaries to be reduced in the same proportion as hours worked, as well as temporary suspension (furlough) of employment contracts.

 

27 
 
 

 

Our 2021 fuel costs totaling R$2,631.9 million were up 29.9% from the previous year, mainly due to the 37.6% higher average price per liter of aviation kerosene (QAV) and 3.8% higher fuel consumption than 2020. Fuel costs per ASK were up 20.4% due to the higher average price of QAV, which was partly offset by a 3.8% fall in fuel consumption per ASK.

 

2020's fuel and lubricant costs totaled R$2,025.7 million against 2019's R$4,047.3 million to show a 50% decrease mainly due to lower fuel consumption and an 8.6% fall in its average price per liter from R$2.79 in 2019 to R$2.55 in 2020.

 

Expenses incurred for take-off and landing fees in 2021 reached R$456.1 million to show an increase of 10.9% against 2020, mainly due to higher demand and more take-offs. Landing rates per available seat kilometer were up 2.8%, due to the domestic market's higher average landing, navigation and stay-over charges.

 

Expenses incurred for takeoff and landing fees in 2020 reached R$411.1 million, 45.9% less than 2019 (R$759.8 million in 2019), basically due to resizing our routes to adapt to lower demand during the pandemic.

 

Expenses incurred for provision of services reached R$915.4 million in 2021 to show an increase of 26.6% against 2020, due to assistance and advisory services that were suspended in 2020 and restarted in 2021, in addition to new investments in technology. Expenses incurred for aircraft maintenance, traffic and kilometers flown (mileage) per available seat kilometer were up 17.3% for the same reasons.

 

Expenses incurred for services totaled R$723.2 million in 2020 to show an increase of 2.2% against 2019 (R$707.4 million in 2019), mainly due to investments in technology, both locally and internationally, partly offset by a reduction in advisory and consultancy services.

 

Passenger expenses rose 40.9% against 2029 (sic), totaling R$549.5 million in 2021, mainly due to higher accommodation costs and numbers of flights operated under our agreement with VoePass Linhas Aéreas and MAP Linhas Aéreas to boost our market share on regional routes. Passenger service expenses per available seat kilometer rose 30.6% for the same reasons.

 

Passenger-related expenses were R$390.0 million in 2020 against R$578.7 million in 2019, this showing a decrease of 32.6% due mainly to operations being cut when we resized our route network.

 

Commercial and advertising expenses in 2021 were up 25.4% in the year to a total of R$406.6 million, due to more marketing campaigns and credit card chargebacks. Sales and marketing expenses per available seat kilometer rose 16.2% for the same reasons.

 

Commercial and advertising expenses in 2020 were down 51.6% against 2019, totaling R$324.2 million in the year (R$670.4 million in 2019), mainly due to our ongoing efforts to place our cost structure on more efficient levels than during the pre-pandemic period.

 

Expenses incurred for maintenance, materials and repairs totaled R$2,200.6 million in 2021, thus showing a 555.1% increase against 2020, when these expenses totaled R$335.9 million, mainly due to provisioning recognized in relation to the accelerated renewal of our fleet and amounts estimated for returning Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft per contractual conditions. Expenses for maintenance, materials and repairs per available seat kilometer rose from R$1.34 in 2020 to R$8.11 in 2021 for the same reasons.

 

Expenses incurred for maintenance, materials and repairs totaled R$335.9 million in 2020, showing a decrease of 41.0% against 2019, when these expenses totaled R$569.2 million, due to provisions for aircraft returned in 2020 and reversion of provisioning for maintenance in 2019 that was not made in 2020.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$1.335.8 million in 2021, thus showing a 28.6% decrease year on year, due to lower aircraft utilization and subsequent reduction in maintenance services given the context of lower levels of operation. Depreciation and amortization expenses per available seat kilometer were down 33.8% for the same reasons and due to a higher available kilometers number.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to R$1,870.6 million in 2020 against R$1,728.0 in 2019, basically due to longer average terms of lease agreements and changes in aircraft fleet numbers.

 

28 
 
 

Other net operating revenues (expenses) rose from R$523.0 million revenues in 2020 to R$738.1 million expenses in 2021, mainly due to (i) gains on sale leaseback transactions for 11 aircraft in 2020; (ii) reimbursement of expenses incurred due to the Boeing 737-MAX aircraft being grounded; and (iii) 2021's higher expenses related to labor/employment and tax claims. Other net operating revenues (expenses) per available seat kilometer switched from R$2.08 revenues in 2020 to R$2.72 expense in 2021 for the same reasons.

 

Other operating expenses (consisting mainly of per diem, crew travel and accommodation expenses, equipment lease and general and administrative expenses) totaled R$317.8 million in 2019.

 

Financial result

 

2021's net financial result recognized negative R$3,541.6 million against 2020's negative R$4,865.4 million. GOL recognized R$1,561.5 million exchange-rate losses for 2021 against 2020's R$3,056.2 million.

 

Our 2020 net financial result recognized negative R$4,865.4 million (negative R$1,743.8 million in 2019) against negative R$1,743.8 million in 2019. GOL recognized R$3,056.2 million currency exchange-rate losses for 2020 against 2019's R$385.1 million

 

Income tax

 

2021's income tax and social security contributions were positive R$192.4 million against the R$78.0 million expense recognized in 2020. Mainly due to the R$219.2 million reduction of deferred tax liabilities related to temporary differences, of which R$119.1 million was provisioning for legal actions and R$120.0 million provisioning for returned aircraft and engines. Our effective rate fell from 2.6% in 2020 to (1.3)% in 2021, due to temporary differences in the abovementioned deferred tax liability and a R$46.7 million reduction in current income tax and social contribution arising from our Smiles merger.

 

2020's R$78.0 million income tax expense was R$131.6 million less than 2019's R$209.6 million. The result was mainly due to recognition of tax losses and social security contribution charges on temporary differences in 2019.

 

 

10.2 COMMENTS FROM MANAGERS ON:

 

a.       Results of the Company's Operations in 2021, 2020 and 2019

 

i.       description of any important components of the revenue

 

Our total net revenue is derived from passenger transportation revenue, our On Board Sale, rebook fees, refunds and ticket cancellations, as well as revenue from "GOL+ Conforto" in the domestic market and "GOL+ Conforto" seat sales on international flights, and auxiliary revenue which includes revenue from cargo, from our Smiles mileage program (former-GOL).

 

ii.       factors that materially affected the operating results

 

Our operating results in 2021 were affected by the following key factors:

 

Increase in operating revenue: GOL posted total net revenue for the year of R$7,433.4 million, 16.7% higher than 2020. This is due to increased demand in the domestic market for leisure air travel and the income increase.

 

29 
 
 

Structural increase in our operating cost totaling R$11,268.0 million, an increase of 53.9% compared to the previous year, mainly due to (i) an increase in the average price per liter of fuel, (ii) an increase in significant increase in maintenance costs and expenses related to our accelerated fleet transformation and our return of Boeing 737-700/800 Next Generation aircraft and (iii) the depreciation of the real against the US dollar, that adversely affects us by increasing our operating costs and expenses denominated in or linked to US dollars (including fuel). In addition, in 2020, we recorded a gain of R$551.9 million with sale-leaseback operations for 11 aircrafts.

 

Our operating results in 2020 were affected by the following key factors:

 

Decrease in operating revenue: GOL has total net revenue in the year of R$6,371.8 million, 46.0% lower than 2019. This negative variation reflects the significant reduction in demand from the airline industry, due to the adoption of the behavior of social distancing by Clients and the closing of borders as a way of containing worldwide contamination by COVID-19.

 

Structural decrease in our operating cost, which totaled R$7,323.2 million, a reduction of 37.6% in relation to the previous year, mainly due to the Company's continuous efforts to readjust its cost structure to more efficient levels when compared to the pre-pandemic period.

 

Our operating results in 2019 were affected by the following key factors:

 

Increase in operating revenue: GOL presents a total net revenue of R$11,411.4 million in the year, 10.5% higher than in 2018. This positive variation reflects the Company's operating efficiency.

 

Structural increase in our operating cost which totaled R$10,011.8 million, an increase of 7.2% as compared to the previous year, mainly: (i) increase in the price of kerosene in Brazil by 35.2% (ii) appreciation of the average quotation of the U.S. dollar against the BRL of 14.5% (iii) partially offset by the operating result with the sale of aircraft.

 

 

 

b.       Changes in revenue attributable to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and the introduction of new products and services

 

Change in Net Revenue in 2021

 

Net revenue increased by 16.7% compared to 2020. This increase is due to the resumption in demand from the air sector, with the advance in the immunization program and the drop in the number of cases and deaths caused by Covid-19.

 

Change in Net Revenue in 2020

 

30 
 
 

Net revenue decreased by 54.0% compared to 2019. This reduction is due to the reduction in demand from the airline industry, due to the adoption of social distancing behavior by Customers and the closing of borders as a way of containing contamination worldwide by Covid-19.

 

Change in Net Revenue in 2019

 

Net revenues grew 21.5% in 2019 compared to 2018. The increase in net revenue comes from increased passenger transport activity. In addition, our PRASK totaled R$25.61 cents, representing a growth of 15.7% compared to R$22.13 cents in 2018. Also, net RASK grew to R$27.15 cents in 2018, an increase of 14.3% compared to the same period in 2018. In 2019, 86.3% of our net income was expressed in BRL.

 

 

c.       Impact of inflation, price variation of major inputs and outputs, foreign exchange and interest rates on the Company's operating and financial results.

 

Fuel price: The price of aviation kerosene varies, both in the short and long term, in line with variations in the price of crude oil and its derivatives, in addition to the exchange rate variation, bearing in mind that such disbursements are priced in American currency.

 

As of December 31, 2021, fuel costs for the year represented 23.4% of costs, with an average price per liter of aviation kerosene (QAV) reaching R$3.50, an increase of 37.2% compared to the previous year. During this period, fuel costs totaled R$2,631.9 million

 

As of December 31, 2020, fuel costs in the year represented 27.9% of costs, with an average price per liter of aviation kerosene (QAV) reaching R$2.55, down 8.6% compared to the previous year. last year. During this period, fuel costs decreased by R$2,021.6 million, compared to 2018.

 

On December 31, 2019, fuel expenses for the year represented 34.5% of costs, with an average price per liter of aviation kerosene (QAV) reaching R$2.79, down 4.1% compared to the previous year. In this period, the cost with fuel presented an increase of R$179.7 million, compared to 2018.

 

Fees: We are allowed to set our own domestic fees without prior government approval and offer discounts on their prices or follow other promotional activities. In 2021, the yield, main fare indicator used by the sector, which represents the average amount paid to fly a kilometer, showed an increase of 7.6% compared to the previous year. In 2020, the yield, the main tariff indicator used by the sector, which represents the average amount paid to fly one kilometer, showed a reduction of 8% compared to the previous year. In 2019, the yield, the main tariff indicator used by the sector, which represents the average value paid to fly one kilometer, showed an increase of 12.9% compared to 2018.

 

Exchange rate: The exchange rate risk arises from the possibility of unfavourable variation in the foreign currencies to which the liability or our cash flow is exposed. The exposure of our equity items to foreign currency risk arises mainly from foreign currency leases and financing.

 

31 
 
 

 

 

Interest rate: Our result is exposed to fluctuations in domestic and international interest rates, substantially to CDI and Libor, respectively.

10.4 COMMENTS FROM MANAGERS ON

 

a.       Significant changes in accounting practices

 

In the preparation of our financial statements, we have adopted all pronouncements and respective technical interpretations and guidelines issued by the CPC and approved by the CVM (The Brazilian Exchanges Commission), which along with the accounting practices included in the Brazilian Corporate Law are referred to as accounting practices adopted in Brazil (BR GAAP).

 

As permitted by the SEC and CVM and in order to meet the information needs of the markets in which we operate, we present our financial statements in the international accounting standard issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB in IFRS, as well as under Brazilian Corporate Law, simultaneously, through CVM Instruction 457/07 amended by CVM Instruction 485/10.

 

b. New accounting standards and pronouncements adopted in the current fiscal year

 

The standards listed below are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The Company has decided not to early adopt any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

Amendments to CPC 06 (R2), CPC 11, CPC 38, CPC 40 (R1) and CPC 48: Reform of the Reference Interest Rate

 

Amendments to CPC Pronouncements 38 and 48 provide temporary exceptions that address

the financial statement effects when an interbank certificate of deposit rate is replaced with an alternative to an almost risk-free rate. The changes include the following practical expedients:

33 
 
 
·A practical expedient that requires contractual changes, or changes in cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes in a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate.
·Allows reform-required changes to be made to hedging designations and documentation, without the hedging relationship being discontinued.
·Provides a temporary exception for entities to comply with the separately identifiable requirement when a risk-free rate instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component.

 

These changes did not impact the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to adopt the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.

 

Amendments to CPC 06 (R2): Covid-19-related benefits granted to lessees in lease agreements

 

The amendments provide for granting to lessees in the application of the guidelines of CPC 06 (R2), equivalent to IFRS 16, on the modification of the lease agreement, when accounting for the related benefits as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

As a practical expedient, a lessee may choose not to assess whether a Covid-19-related benefit provided by the lessor is a modification of the lease. A lessee making this choice must account for any change in the lease payment resulting from the benefit granted in the lease agreement related to Covid-19 in the same way that it would account for the change applying CPC 06 (R2) if the change were not a contract modification. lease.

 

The change was intended to be applied until June 30, 2021, but with the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, on March 31, 2021, the CPC extended the period of application of this practical file to June 30, 2022. The Company chose to evaluate the changes in the contracts as a modification of the lease agreement and did not apply such expedient.

 

 

c. Significant effects of changes in accounting practices

 

There were no significant effects of the changes in accounting practices or material impacts in the fiscal years 2021, 2021 and 2019.

 

d.       Highlights and emphases present in the auditor's opinion

 

There is no emphasis paragraph in the independent auditor's report on the 2021, 2020 and 2019 individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

The independent auditors inserted an emphasis paragraph related to the Company's operational continuity concern. Below we transcribe the paragraph referring to the audit for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

34 
 
 

We draw attention to Note 2, which mentions that the individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption of going concern. Additionally, as described in Note 1, the Company has adopted actions aimed at fighting the Covid-19 pandemic (such as the readjustment of its air network and the strengthening of its capital structure). As of December 31, 2021, the Company's loss for the year was R$7,222 million (parent company) and R$7,184 million (consolidated), together with the deficiency in net working capital and negative shareholders' equity on that date, which, together with other events and conditions, indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may raise significant doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The plans and actions being developed by management to reestablish the Company's economic and financial balance and equity position are described in Note 1. The individual and consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may arise as a result of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not qualified in this matter.

 

10.5 Critical accounting policies that we have adopted, exploring, in particular, accounting estimates made by management on uncertain issues relevant to the description of the financial situation and results, that require subjective or complex judgments, such as: provisions, expectations on legal proceedings, revenue recognition, tax credits, service life of fixed assets, pension plans, foreign currency translation adjustments, criteria for testing recovery of assets and financial instruments

 

Main Accounting Policies

 

We have sought to maintain a procedure to review our accounting policies and to evaluate the adequacy of the estimates necessary to produce our consolidated financial statements. We believe that our estimates and judgments are reasonable, however, the actual results and timing of recognition of such amounts may differ from our estimates. In addition, estimates usually require adjustments based on new circumstances and the receipt of new or better information. Some accounting policies require the use of estimates that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, taking into consideration past and current event experiences, assumptions regarding future events, and other objective and subjective factors. The settlement of transactions involving these estimates may result in amounts significantly different from those recorded in the financial statements due to the inherent inaccuracies in the process of their determination. For a discussion of this and other accounting policies, please refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

Main accounting estimates and assumptions used

 

The process of preparing the Company's financial statements often requires management to make assumptions, judgments and estimates that may affect the application of policies and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from the estimates made, as they cover historical experiences and various factors that are assumed to be appropriate under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the same year in which the assumptions are revised on a prospective basis.

 

Estimates and assumptions that have significant material adjustment risks to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are discussed below. The Management has made judgments that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, namely:

35 
 
 
·evenue from breakage of tickets and miles;
·estimated losses on doubtful accounts;
·annual analysis of the recoverable amount of deferred taxes;
·analysis of recoverability of deposits for maintenance;
·useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a defined useful life;
·analysis of the recoverable amount of goodwill and slots;
·provision for the return of aircraft and engines;
·provisions for post-employment benefit;
·provision for tax, civil and labor risks;
·transactions with share-based compensation;
·rights and obligations with derivative transactions; and
·fair value of financial instruments.

 

Recoverability of financial assets: the Company assesses whether there is any indicator of impairment of all its financial assets at each balance sheet date, or when there are indications that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Any difficulties and/or restrictions on the use of financial assets belonging to the Company are indicative for the recoverability test.

 

Recoverability of non-financial assets: at the end of each year, the Company analyzes whether there are indications of non-recoverability for non-financial assets, mainly fixed assets and intangible assets. The recoverable amounts are determined by calculating their value in use over a five-year period using discounted cash flow assumptions. Any reconsiderations below in the carrying amount of the asset should be recognized as a non-recoverable loss and recognized in the income statement in the year in which they occurred.

 

Fixed Assets

 

The assets comprising property, plant and equipment, including the spare parts, are recorded at acquisition and/or construction cost. Interest and other financial charges directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of a good that necessarily requires a significant amount of time to be completed are capitalized as part of the cost of the corresponding asset.

 

Each asset component that has a significant cost as compared to the total asset is depreciated separately. The estimated economic service life of property, plant and equipment for depreciation purposes is shown in note 14 to our financial statements.

 

The estimated market value at the end of its service life is the premise for determining the residual value of the Company's fixed assets. The residual value and service life of assets are reviewed annually by the Company. Any changes in the expected use of such items result in prospective changes.

 

The carrying amount of an asset is analyzed for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount. The book value of aircraft is tested for impairment annually, even if there are no circumstances indicating the existence of losses.

36 
 
 

 

An asset item is disposed of after disposal or when there are no future economic benefits resulting from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss on the sale or write-off of an item is determined by the difference between the amount received on sale and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in income.

 

Furthermore, the Company adopts the following treatment for the groups below:

 

I.Advances for aircraft purchase

 

These refer to prepayments in U.S. dollars made with Boeing for the acquisition of 737-MAX aircraft. Advances are converted at the historical rate.

 

II.Lease contracts

 

Lease contracts are recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in accordance with the current standard, CPC 06 (R2) - “Leases”, equivalent to IFRS 16. The Company applies the recognition exemptions for lessees, provided for in the standard, for short-term and “low-value” asset leases.

 

III. Right-of-use asset

 

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets on the commencement date of the lease (ie the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made to the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. The initial measurement of a right-of-use asset also includes an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the Company in returning the underlying asset, restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company incurs the obligation for these costs, either on the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during the term of the contract.

 

After the starting date, right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, over the shortest period between the lease term and the estimated useful life of the assets. In certain cases, if ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Company at the end of the lease term or if the cost represents the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

 

IV. Lease liabilities

 

At the starting date of the lease, the Company recognizes at present value the payments to be made during the lease term in accordance with the scheduled flow. Lease payments include: (i) fixed payments (including fixed payments in substance) less any lease incentives receivable; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate; and (iii) amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be

37 
 
 

exercised by the Company and payments of fines for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company's exercise of the option to terminate the lease.

 

When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date, when the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined immediately.

 

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition giving rise to such payments occurs.

 

After the starting date, the value of the lease liability is increased to reflect the passage of time and, consequently, accrued interest and reduced for lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a change in the lease, taking into account a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (for example, changes in future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the valuation of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

 

The Company reassesses the lease liability whenever certain events occur and recognizes the remeasurement value of this liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss.

 

V.Sale-leaseback Transactions

 

The determination of the result recognition of sale-leaseback transactions uses as reference the fair value of the traded good. The source of information for obtaining fair value are market quotations for items of a similar nature, considering the conditions of the good.

 

Once fair value is determined, gains or losses are initially calculated based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the assets and then adjusted in accordance with the proportionality of the right of use transferred to the lessor (the latter being the actual value recognized as gain or loss in the statement of comprehensive income).

 

The proportionality calculation is performed considering the present value of lease payments adjusted by prepayments or additional financing.

 

 

 

VI.Capitalization of large engine, aircraft, landing gear and APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) maintenance expenses

 

Expenses for major maintenance, which include replacement of parts and labor, are capitalized only when the estimated service life of the corresponding asset is extended. Such costs are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated period to be incurred until the next major maintenance date or the return of

38 
 
 

the good, what occurs first. Expenses incurred that do not extend the service life of the assets are recognized directly in income.

 

Deposits

 

I.Aircraft and engine maintenance deposits

 

They refer to payments made in U.S. dollars to lessors for future maintenance of aircraft and engines. The realization of these assets takes place, substantially, in the use of the deposit for payment to the workshop when the maintenance is performed or by means of receipts of financial resources, according to the negotiations carried out with the lessors. The exchange variation of these payments is recognized as expense or revenue in the financial result. Management regularly reviews the recovery of these deposits based on the eligibility of applying such amounts in future maintenance events and believes the amounts reflected in the balance sheet are realizable.

 

Some of the contracts provide that, if there are no maintenance events with the possibility of using the deposits, the amounts deposited for this operation are not refundable. Such amounts are retained by the lessor and represent payments made depending on the use of the components up to the return date. Thus, these values falling into this category, are recognized directly in the income for the year under the item “Maintenance and repair material”, considering the regular recoverability analyzes or in the time of return of the good.

 

In addition, the Company has agreements with some lessors to replace deposits with letters of credit, which may be executed by lessors if aircraft and engine maintenance does not occur according to the review schedule. Several aircraft lease agreements do not require maintenance deposits, and rely on letters of credit to guarantee the execution of the maintenance in the scheduled periods (see note 14 of our financial statements). As of December 31, 2021, no letter of credit had been executed against the Company.

 

II. Legal deposits

 

In the course of the actions filed against the Company and over which the Company questions the legitimacy of the claims, the Company may be required to make appeal and/or judicial deposits in order to continue its defense strategy. These amounts are mostly monetarily restated by inflation rates and are characterized as resources not immediately available to the Company, pending a court decision.

 

II.Deposits for guarantees and sureties on lease agreements

 

Deposits and bonds are expressed in U.S. dollars and restated monthly at the exchange rate, without interest income, and are repayable to the Company upon termination of the lease agreements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

I.Revenue from passengers, cargo and auxiliary services

 

39 
 
 

Passenger revenue is recognized when air transportation is actually provided. Tickets sold, but not yet used, are recorded under the heading of transportation to be performed, representing deferred revenue from tickets sold to be transported at a future date, net of estimated breakage revenue.

 

The breakage revenue consists of the calculation, on a historical basis, of tickets issued that will expire due to non-use, i.e. passengers who have purchased tickets and are highly likely not to use them. At least annually the calculations are reviewed to reflect and capture changes in customer behavior concerning the expiry of tickets.

 

From the perspective of the consolidated financial statements, the revenue recognition cycle regarding the exchange of Smiles Program miles for air tickets is only completed when passengers are actually transported.

 

Revenues originated from shipment of cargo are recognized when the performance obligations will be met.

 

Other revenue including charter services, on-board sales services, flight rebooking fees, baggage handling and other additional services are recognized along with the main passenger transportation obligation.

 

II. Miles revenue

 

The Smiles Program aims to retain its customers by granting mileage credits to participants. The obligation generated by issuing miles is measured based on the price at which the miles were sold to Smiles' airline and non-airline partners, considered as the fair value of the transaction.

 

Until August 31, 2021, Smiles acted as an agent and complied with its performance obligation at the time of miles redemption by Smiles program participants in the exchange of awards with their partners with the recognition of revenue in the individual financial information. From the perspective of the consolidated financial statements, the revenue recognition cycle in relation to the exchange of Smiles Program miles for airline tickets was only completed when passengers were actually transported, so that unrealized profits were properly eliminated, as provided for in the ICPC 09 (R2) – Individual Financial Statements, Separate Financial Statements, Consolidated Statements and Application of the Equity Method.

 

As of the incorporation of Smiles Fidelidade into GOL Linhas Aéreas (GLA) on September 1, 2021, revenue from the mileage program with airline products and services, which are offered by the entity itself, started to be recognized only at the time of transport, as the entity's performance obligation becomes solely air transport and related services, with the GLA being the entity that controls the specified service before it is transferred to the customer. For the exchange of rewards with services and products not linked to an entity of the same economic group, GLA, as the entity responsible for the loyalty program, remained as an agent and the performance obligation is fulfilled at the time of redemption of miles by program participants smiles.

 

40 
 
 

As a result of its characteristics, the miles program also provides the possibility of recognizing breakage revenue. The Company calculates the breakage estimate through the probability of miles that have a significant chance of expiry due to non-use, considering the behavioral history of the Smiles Program participants.

 

It should be noted that future events may significantly change the profile of customers and their historical pattern of mileage redemption. Such changes may result in significant changes in the balance of deferred revenue, as well as in the recognition of breakage revenue, reviewed annually.

 

III.Adoption of hedge accounting for passenger revenue protection and future ancillary services

 

In the regular course of its operations, the Company carries out recurring sales in U.S. dollars ("US$") mainly due to international routes in South, Central and North America. On August 1, 2019, the Management adopted hedge accounting, a cash flow method, as a way to reduce the volatility of these future revenues in foreign currency (object of hedge), considered highly probable, as provided for and expressed in paragraph 6.3.1 of CPC 48- “Financial Instruments”, using as hedge instruments, easing contracts registered as debt due to the adoption of CPC 06 (R2) – “Leases”.

 

With the adoption of hedge accounting, the foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the lease agreements (hedge instrument) will be accrued in a shareholders' equity account, "Equity valuation adjustment", and will be appropriated to the Company's income upon the realization of sales revenues in US$.

 

Hedge accounting is derived from the natural hedge of the Company's operations, portrayed by the cash flow (revenues and amortization of debt in US$) and does not represent an increase in financial costs, allowing for the partial elimination of exchange volatility from the Company's results. The final equity position is not affected by the adoption of this accounting practice. The elements of hedge accounting are: (1) hedge object: highly probable revenue from sales in US$; (2) hedge instrument: lease contracts linked to the US$;(3) designated amount: 60 months of revenues considered highly, making a notional at the time of initial adoption in the amount of US$903,1; (4) nature of the hedged risk: foreign exchange; (5) specification of the hedged risk: spot USD/BRL exchange; (6) type of hedge relationship: cash flow.

 

 

 

Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation, formalized or not, as a result of a past event and it is probable that economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

 

I. Provision for returning aircraft and engine

The leases instrument provide for contractual obligations establishing conditions for return. the Company provides for the costs of return, since they are present obligations, arising from past events and

41 
 
 

that will generate future disbursements, at the time the measurement can be made with reasonable assurance.

 

These expenses predicted at the initial moment basically refer to aircraft reconfiguration (interior and exterior), obtaining licenses and technical certifications, return checks, painting, among others, as established in contract. The estimated cost is recorded at present value in property. After initial recording, the liability is restated according to the Company's estimated rate of return on capital, with an offsetting entry in the financial statement. Any changes in the estimate of expenses to be incurred are recorded on a prospective basis.

 

In addition to the estimated expenses for reconfiguration of the aircraft, the lease agreements provide for the conditions of preservation and useful life of the aircraft components to be observed at the time of return. This provision depends on factors that involve the effective use of aircraft and engines, maintenance events during the contractual period, among other variables, therefore, it is recorded from the moment the Company has the necessary elements to reliably estimate the amount of expenses to be incurred, considering the period in which it becomes a present obligation for the condition of the engines and components. The Company estimates the provision for the return of aircraft and engines at present value when the effect of the time value of money is relevant, based on the end of the lease agreement, at which time the disbursement will be necessary.

II. Provision for tax, fiscal and labor risks

 

The Company is part of several judicial and administrative proceedings, mainly in Brazil, whose assessments of the likelihood of losses include analysis of available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, available case law, the most recent court decisions and their relevance to the legal system, as well as the assessment of external lawyers.

 

The Company classifies the risks of loss in legal proceedings as probable, possible or remote. The provision recorded in connection with such proceedings reasonably reflects the estimated probable losses. If the Company has legal claims whose amounts are not known or reasonably estimable, but the probability of loss is probable, these claims have their nature disclosed.

 

The provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in circumstances, such as applicable statute of limitations, tax inspection findings or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.

 

Rights and obligations regarding derivative financial instruments

 

Variations in interest rates, exchange rates and aviation fuel prices expose the Company and its subsidiaries to risks that may affect their financial performance. In order to mitigate such risks, the Company, through its subsidiaries, contracts derivative financial instruments that may or may not be designated for hedge accounting and, if designated, are classified as cash flow hedges.

 

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value at recognition and in subsequent periods.

42 
 
 

 

I. Derivative financial instruments not designated as hedge accounting

 

The Company may contract derivative financial instruments that are not designated for hedge accounting when the Risk Management objectives do not require such classification. Transactions not designated as hedge accounting present changes in their fair value directly accounted for in the financial result.

 

II. Derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges

 

The instruments designated as cash flow hedges aim to protect future results arising from changes in interest rates, fuel prices and exchange rates. The effectiveness of the variations is estimated based on statistical methods of correlation and by the proportion between the gains and losses of the hedge and the variation of the hedged costs and expenses. Effective changes in fair value are recorded in equity under “Other comprehensive income”, until the recognition of the result of the hedged item. Inefficiencies verified in each reporting period are recognized in the financial result. Hedge transactions recorded in “Other comprehensive income” are presented net of tax effects.

 

III. Derecognition and write-off of derivative financial instruments

 

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company and its subsidiaries (i) cancel the hedging relationship; (ii) the derivative instrument expires or is sold, terminated or executed, (iii) when there is low predictability of realization of the hedged item, or (iv) when it no longer qualifies as hedge accounting. If the operation is discontinued, any gains or losses previously recognized in “Other comprehensive income” and accumulated in shareholders' equity up to that date are immediately recognized in income for the year.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

I.Stock options

 

The Company offers its executives stock option plans. The Company recognizes as an expense, on a straight-line basis, the fair value of options or shares, calculated by the Black-Scholes method, determined on the date of grant during the period of service required by the plan against shareholders' equity. The accrued expense recognized reflects the Company's best estimate of the number of shares to be acquired. The expense or revenue from movements in the year is recognized in the income statement.

 

The effect of the open options is reflected as additional dilution in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, when applicable.

 

II.Restricted shares

 

The Company may also offer its executives a plan for the transfer of restricted shares that takes place at the end of the stipulated period from the date of grant, as defined in each program plan, on

43 
 
 

condition that the beneficiary has maintained his employment relationship during this period. Such transfer is preferably made through shares held in treasury.

 

The impact of revising the number of restricted shares that will not be acquired as compared to the original estimates, if any, is recognized in income for the year so that the accrued expense reflects the revised estimates with the corresponding adjustment to equity.

 

The plans have been carried out with the delivery of shares.

 

Deferred Taxes

 

Deferred taxes represent the credits and debits on IRPJ (Corporate Tax Return) tax losses and CSLL (Social Contribution on Profit) negative basis, as well as temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis. Deferred tax and contribution assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

 

A loss to realize these assets is recognized when internal studies of the Company indicate that the future use of these credits is not probable.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net if there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax liabilities against tax assets, and if they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority under the same taxable entity, therefore, for presentation purposes, the balances of tax assets and tax liabilities, which do not meet the legal criteria for realization, are being disclosed separately. Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at rates expected to be applicable in the period the asset is realized, or the liability settled, based on tax rates and tax laws in effect at the date of the financial statements.

 

The projections of future taxable profits on tax losses and negative social contribution base are prepared based on the business plans and are reviewed and approved annually by the Company's Board of Directors.

10.7 MANAGERS' COMMENTS ON EACH OF THE ITEMS NOT EVIDENCED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INDICATED IN ITEM 10.6

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 103 firm orders for the acquisition of Boeing 737 MAX..

 

10.8 MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS PLAN:

 

a.       Investments, including:

 

i. quantitative and qualitative description of ongoing and planned investments

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company began implementing the fleet transformation acceleration plan, which aims to replace Boeing 737 NG aircraft with Boeing 737-MAX aircraft.

 

The Boeing 737-MAX consumes approximately 15% less fuel and produces approximately 16% less carbon emissions and 40% less noise, in addition to having a longer flight range when compared to Boeing 737-NG aircraft.

 

In addition, the Company had the opportunity to obtain agreements for the acquisition of new 737 MAX aircraft with more favorable conditions compared to the pre-pandemic period, in combination with new alternatives of credit lines for financing these aircraft, in order to allow the balance of the Company's financing portfolio.

 

As a result of the fleet transformation acceleration, the Company expects to return 737-NG aircraft, for which relevant future disbursements are estimated, as disclosed in Note 23.2, which may be offset against deposits disclosed in Note 12 to our financial statements.

 

ii. sources of investment financing

 

Our strategy is to rely primarily on cash flows from operations to raise working capital for current and future operations. Our operating cash flows are affected by the requirement of some aircraft operating lease agreements, which establish maintenance deposit reserve accounts for our aircraft, with funds at specific levels. Funds shall be taken from the maintenance reserve accounts for the reimbursement of certain structural maintenance expenditure incurred. We believe that the amounts already deposited, and to be deposited, plus our own cash resources, will be enough to cover our future aircraft and maintenance costs for the duration of the respective operating leases.

 

In January 2022, the Company entered into a financing agreement of up to US$600 million with Castlelake LP to finance the acquisition of new 737 MAX 8 aircraft. And 2 sale-leaseback transactions. The proceeds from the transaction will cover 100% of the acquisition cost of the new aircraft and will provide

46 
 
 

additional funds that will be directed towards obligations and costs of returning GOL’s 737 NG aircraft. So far, GOL has already received two aircraft under this contract.

 

When necessary, we obtain loans to finance our investments, which are guaranteed by our receivables, to finance the sale-receipt cycle.

iii. relevant ongoing disinvestments and planned divestments

 

We had no divestments during 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

b.       already disclosed acquisitions of plants, equipment, patents or other assets that should materially influence the Company's production capacity

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company returned 8 aircraft with a lease agreement without purchase option and received 16 MAX aircraft.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made a net reduction of 10 aircraft under lease.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company returned 3 aircraft under an operating lease.

 

 

 

c.       New products and services, indicating: (i) a description of ongoing research already disclosed; (ii) the total amounts spent by the Company on research to develop new products or services; (iii) projects already disclosed; and (iv) the total amounts spent by the Company on the development of new products or services

 

Routes and Timetables

 

We have carried out an optimization work of our domestic routes, and have re-accessed on a recurring basis growth opportunities in terms of the number of flights and international destinations, especially in Latin America and nationals on regional routes. The end of 2021 marked the resumption of international operations with destination to Cancún, Punta Cana, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, as well as the opening of a new domestic destination, Bonito (MS)..

 

Our operational model allows us to build our flight routes to add destinations to cities that would not be viable to serve in the traditional point-to-point model individually, but that are viable to serve when simply added as additional points on our multi-stop flights. We focus on the Brazilian and South American markets and carefully assess opportunities for continued growth. We seek to increase the frequency of our flights to existing high-demand markets and add new routes to our network to destinations that can be reached with our current fleet. Our Boeing 737 MAX aircraft allows us to offer reduced flight times for passengers currently connecting at South American hubs en route to the United States, Europe and Africa.

 

47 
 
 

As a low-cost carrier operating a single type of fleet, we work through alliances and codeshare agreements with major international carriers and regional carriers in order to serve destinations that cannot be served by our Boeing aircraft due to airport infrastructure or conditions. of the local market.

 

Together with our regional partners, including VoePass Linhas Aéreas and MAP Linhas Aéreas, we serve the largest regional network in Brazil. As regional carriers feed traffic to our hubs and routes from low-density markets that we do not directly serve, they are an integral part of our operational network.

 

Connecting flights using our market dominance in our major hubs has supported traffic during the global pandemic and we're taking advantage of that connectivity to a greater extent in 2021 than in 2020.

 

Under our business model and route network, we have the flexibility to increase direct flights during peak season because we have a dominant position in major high-density airports, and increase connecting flights during off-season travel to increase the factors load.

 

In 2020 and 2021, we transported more than 16.6 million and 19.2 million passengers, respectively, in the domestic market and had a market share of 38.0% and 31.7%, respectively, as measured by RPKs. Our performance in 2020 and 2021, despite the operational challenges we face due to developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrates our resilience and operational excellence, as well as our flexibility to adapt our network and operations in response to demand trends.

 

 

Ancillary Revenue

 

We are constantly evaluating opportunities to generate additional supplemental revenue, such as from travel insurance sales, marketing activities and other services that allow us to capitalize on the large number of passengers on our flights and the high volumes of customers using our website. As of December 31, 2021, all of our aircraft have Wi-Fi installed, which is an additional and growing source of revenue..

 

Mileage, Cargo and Other Income Program

 

Mileage, load and other revenues include revenues from our GOLLOG services, as well as our Smiles loyalty program.

 

We make efficient use of the extra capacity on our aircraft by transporting cargo through GOLLOG. Our 100 flight destinations across Brazil, South America, the Caribbean and the United States give us access to multiple locations in each region. With our capacity of approximately 750 daily flights, we can guarantee fast and reliable cargo delivery to our customers.

 

GOLLOG has developed a broad portfolio of express services to meet the growing demand for door-to-door deliveries, fixed deadlines and additional optional services. We intend to increase our efforts in express delivery services, further strengthening our logistics capacity, mainly by expanding our inland distribution network, increasing our commercial efforts and using innovation and technology to facilitate

48 
 
 

shipment and cargo tracking and provide automatic updates for the status of the request. The following is an overview of GOLLOG's service portfolio:

·A GOLLOG Animais fornece o que acreditamos ser a melhor solução para o transporte de animais vivos, incluindo todos os cuidados necessários pelos animais vivos no transporte e informações em tempo real sobre a jornada do animal para os clientes monitorarem. A receita líquida gerada pela GOLLOG Animais cresceu mais de 260% em 2021, em comparação com 2020.
·A GOLLOG Saúde foi projetada para atender o setor de saúde. Para aprimorar os serviços da GOLLOG Saúde, investimos em um armazém a frio no aeroporto de Guarulhos para manter a carga controlada pela temperatura antes do embarque.
·A GOLLOG Urgente oferece o que acreditamos ser a opção de entrega mais rápida dentro do Brasil, oferecendo entregas no mesmo dia para rotas curtas, e tem sido um componente importante na GOLLOG mantendo seu rendimento de receita.
·GOLLOG Rápido, CHEGOL e CHEGOL Mini oferecem uma gama de soluções de entrega expressa econômicas para os clientes.

 

As of December 31, 2021, our Smiles loyalty program has 19.3 million members, providing us with significant revenue from the redemption and expiration of miles. In addition, our Smiles loyalty program provides an incentive for customers to book air travel, thereby increasing ticket sales and our number of frequent customers.

Non-Statutory Board: The compensation policy for non-statutory managers consists of:

 

Basic monthly salary, consisting of thirteen monthly salaries per year;
Benefits package that includes life insurance, meals, medical assistance, medical check-up and discounts on air tickets for parts operated by us, discounts on the purchase of Smiles program miles;
Short-term variable compensation established according to the achievement of overall results (EBIT), corporate and individual targets, paid annually through the Profit Sharing Program, under the terms of Law No. 10,101 of December 19, 2000 ("PPR"), or bonuses, as decided by the Management.
Long-term Incentive Program granted annually through the Company's Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan, approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting on July 30, 2021, ("Stock Option Plan" and "Restricted Stock Plan"), the distribution of which is assigned according to indicators of our corporate results, position level and individual performance evaluation.

 

Our short-term variable compensation defines potential multiples of monthly salaries assigned according to the individual result indicators of the Company's Managers and corporate results, and is paid through PPR and/or Bonuses, as defined by management. Our Board of Directors may, in exceptional and justified cases, convert the amount to be paid into an equivalent number of hypothetical shares, based on the share price on the date the amount to be paid is defined, and the amount effectively paid is the equivalent of the share price on the date the PPR or Bonus is paid. This option allows us to enhance the alignment between our interests and those of our Managers.

 

(ii) the proportion of each element in the total compensation:

 

The average proportions of each compensation element in the year of 2021 are shown in the table below, considering our current compensation policy.

(iii) calculation and adjustment methodology for each of the compensation elements:

 

The compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and Statutory board is reviewed annually and submitted for approval by the General Meeting.

 

In the case of Statutory and Non-Statutory Managers, the fixed monthly compensation is adjusted according to a collective agreement defined with the Union and, eventually, there may be an increase in the salary policy, defined by us, by merit.

 

With regard to short-term variable compensation policies, the calculation of compensation for 2020 was based on the achievement of financial and operating targets. For the year 2021, the payment of short-term variable compensation is also subject to compliance with financial and operating targets established by the Company's management.

 

Regarding long-term compensation, the Options Plan and the Restricted Shares Plan are managed by the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee and the Board of Directors, according to the Plan's guidelines.

 

The Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee annually approves the exercise price of the stock option for each grant, observing the calculation methodology provided by the Options Plan in force. The current Plan determines that the price must be: (a) equal to the weighted average price per volume of shares of the same type recorded on the thirty six (36) months prior to the date of the grant, or (b) fixed by the Board of Directors, with reference to our profitability outlook, the value of shareholders' equity per share, or the Market Value, with the premium or discount allowed in accordance with market conditions.

 

The description in this reference form refers to our current Options and Restricted Shares Plans.

 

In general, to ensure the best market practices, we conduct annual salary surveys conducted by specialized consultants in order to keep our compensation strategy in line with our objectives and those of our employees, keeping us competitive.

89 
 
 

 

With regard to benefits, we constantly review market practices and periodically, as appropriate, make adjustments to align competitiveness.

 

(iv) reasons justifying the composition of the compensation:

 

Our compensation strategy aims at composing short, medium and long term elements that ensure alignment with our objectives, of our employees and managers, keeping it competitive in the market, attractive to retain the best executives and remunerate employees according to the responsibilities assigned to their respective positions. Thus, our compensation strategy aims to position the fixed compensation of our executives at 90% (ninety percent) of the median market wage, the difference being through short- and long-term variable compensation, which are linked to our corporate and individual performance, which can further leverage the gains.

 

c.        main performance indicators that are taken into account when determining each element of compensation:

 

For the fixed portion of the compensation, salary surveys conducted by specialized consultants and individual and collective performance indicators are considered, linked to the level of responsibility of the position held. In addition, the professional qualification for the position is considered.

 

For variable compensation programs, performance indicators are taken into consideration, such as individual performance appraisals and the achievement of corporate goals. We used a set of financial and operating indicators to determine the variable compensation, such as: EBIT, CASK Ex-Fuel, Operational Security (NODSO), Customer Satisfaction Index (NPS) and Individual Performance Assessment.

 

d.       how compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators

 

The short-term variable compensation is conditioned and determined based on the achievement of a set of corporate indicators, EBIT, CASK Ex-Fuel, Operational Safety (NODSO), Customer Satisfaction Index (NPS) and other individual indicators established for the year. Thus, the overall value of short-term variable compensation is structured and affected by the scope of these indicators.

 

The long-term incentive plan, consistent with the Stock Option Plan and Restricted Shares, is linked to the valuation of the shares, our perspective of profitability, the value of equity per share, or the market value of the shares, allowing for premium or negative premium due to market conditions in the long term.

 

e. how the compensation policy or practice aligns with the Company's short, medium and long term interests.

 

We aim to keep our professionals' compensation always competitive as compared to the market, in order to attract and retain talent that allows them to achieve their short, medium and long

90 
 
 

term strategic objectives. In this sense, our compensation strategy reflects mechanisms that encourage our professionals to remain in the organization.

 

According to this compensation strategy, there is a balance between short-term compensation, based on performance indicators on an annual basis, and medium and long-term compensation (Stock Options and Restricted Stock Plan) in line with our medium and long-term interests.

 

We thus encourage our employees to meet and exceed the annual targets that are linked to short-term variable compensation and to take medium- and long-term measures that can generate value for us and that will consequently be reflected in the valuation of our shares in the market, and are therefore associated with the Stock Option Plans and Restricted Shares.

 

f. existence of compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries, controlled companies or controllers

 

Our statutory and non-statutory board has a compensation package consisting of: fixed annual compensation, short-term variable compensation and stock-based compensation. The compensation is supported by the Company and its subsidiary GOL Linhas Aéreas S.A. No other management body of the Company receives compensation supported by direct or indirect controlled companies or controllers.

 

g. existence of any compensation or benefit linked to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the disposal of the Company's corporate control.

 

There are no compensations or benefits linked to the occurrence of any corporate event involving us, such as disposal of corporate control, and/or the implementation of strategic partnerships.

 

With regard to the Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan, in the event of the merger, consolidation, spin-off or reorganization of the Company, in which we are not the remaining company, or the sale of substantially all our assets, or even in the event of transfer of control, the Plan will end and any option granted until then or restricted stock to be granted will be extinguished, unless otherwise provided for in the deliberative documents of the reorganization.

 

h. practices and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to define the individual compensation of the Board of Directors and executive board, indicating:

 

i.the issuer's bodies and committees that participate in the decision-making process, identifying how they participate.

 

The Executive Board of People and Culture prepares the individual compensation proposals based on market surveys and submits them to the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee, which is the body responsible for approving and directing the Board of Directors.

 

91 
 
 
ii.criteria and methodology used for setting individual compensation, indicating whether studies are used to verify market practices and, if so, the criteria for comparison and the scope of such studies

 

The individual compensation is defined on the basis of market research, conducted by specialized consultants, the data are obtained through a set of companies with organizational structure and size similar to GOL. The market median is used as a benchmark for the preparation of proposals.

 

iii.how often and how the Board of Directors evaluates the adequacy of the issuer's compensation policy

The evaluation and review of compensation is carried out annually, based on the results of market surveys, by the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee and then considered by the members of the Board of Directors in meetings specifically for the topic.

13.4 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STATUTORY BOARD

 

a.       general terms and conditions

 

In an Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 30, 2020, our shareholders approved the Stock Option Plan - Long Term Incentive Plan, as well as the Restricted Stock Plan - Long Term Incentive Plan. The Plans are administered by our Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee and by the Board of Directors and establish the general conditions for granting stock options and awards issued by us to selected individuals, at the discretion of the Committee, who are holding the positions of vice president, manager, or, in the case of the Restricted Shares Plan, other managerial level employees, ours or of our subsidiaries; as set forth in these Plans. The Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan are valid for 10 years from the date of the Grant of the Stock Option or Restricted Stock to the Beneficiaries.

 

The granting of stock options and awards to the Participants selected by the aforementioned Committee is carried out annually, following performance criteria, linked to the Management Cycle, establishing the maximum total number of options and awards to be granted to the beneficiaries for each exercise, observing what determines the Stock Option Plan and Restricted Shares, and any penalties and restrictions additional to those provided for in the referred Plans. The Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee has wide powers to take the necessary and appropriate measures to manage the Plans. The deliberations of the Committee are final and have binding effect with respect to matters related to the Plans, except with respect to certain matters that are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors, such as: the total number of options and shares to be granted each calendar year.

 

Under the terms of the Plans, the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee may grant differentiated treatment to certain participants, in justified cases and subject to ratification by the Board of Directors, and provided that the basic principles of the Plans are not affected. The Committee may also include new participants in plans already approved and still in force, granting them options or granting them actions that it deems appropriate, respecting the annual limits established by the Board of Directors and the other conditions provided for in the Plans.

 

In the exercise of its powers, certain decisions of the Committee are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors, within the limits established by law, applicable regulations, plans and guidelines established by our shareholders at a general meeting. Omissions are regulated by the Board and the Shareholders' General Meeting is consulted when appropriate.

 

b.       Main objectives of the Plan

 

The Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan have the purpose of allowing the executives elected as Beneficiaries ("Eligible Persons") to acquire or receive Shares in order to: (a) stimulate the expansion, success and achievement of the Company's corporate objectives; (b) align the interests of the Company's shareholders with those of the Eligible Persons; and (c) enable the Company or other companies under its control to attract and keep the Eligible Persons bound to it.

97 
 
 

 

c.       how the plan contributes to these purposes

 

The Stock Option Plan consists of the grant of Stock Options, in accordance with the rules, pre-established in this Plan, concerning the price of the exercise of the Options and the terms of this exercise. To contribute to its purposes, this Plan determines (i) vesting periods for the exercise of the Options and (ii) that, should the Beneficiaries resign from the Company or from a company under its control, as applicable, for any reason, all the Options that have been granted but are not yet exercisable on the day of the resignation, shall be automatically extinguished, regardless of prior notice or indemnity. Furthermore, the gains of the Beneficiaries of this Plan, through the exercise of the Options, are directly related (i) to the valuation of the shares issued by the Company and owned by the Beneficiaries, after the granting of the Options and (ii) to the permanence of the Beneficiaries in their positions, and both situations encourage the Beneficiary to act in order to seek the expansion and success of the Company.

 

In order to contribute to its objectives, the Restricted Shares Plan determines that the transfer of the Restricted Shares must respect the Vesting period of 03 (three) years counted from the Date of grant. Also, concerning withdrawal of the Beneficiaries from the Company or from a company under its control, as the case may be, in case the withdrawal occurs in the interest of the Company, for any reason other than just cause, the Beneficiary holding Bonuses whose Vesting period has not expired on the day of withdrawal will have the right to receive a number of Restricted Shares proportional to the period elapsed from the Vesting period, calculated in number of months. In the event that the Beneficiaries' termination occurs in the interest of the Beneficiary or in the interest of the Company as a result of just cause termination, all Awards that have been granted and whose Vesting periods have not exhausted on the day of termination shall be automatically cancelled. Furthermore, it should be noted that the value of the gains of the Beneficiaries of the Restricted Shares Plan is directly related to: (i) the valuation of the Company's shares after the transfer of the Restricted Shares. As there is no financial consideration by the beneficiary, the final financial benefit realized is the value of the shares as quoted on the stock exchange at the time of the transfer; and (ii) permanence in his position, with both situations encouraging the Beneficiary to act in order to seek the expansion and success of the Company.

 

d.       how the plan fits into the Company's compensation policy

 

The Company's Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan contribute considerably in the composition of the total compensation of the Company's managers and, in this sense, strongly attach the individual performance to its objectives, since the managers have an additional incentive to implement medium and long term actions that generate added value for us and that will be reflected in the valuation of their shares in the market, besides being instruments of strong power of attraction and retention of talents.

 

Options granted under the previous plan shall remain in force and shall be governed by the plan in force at the time of their grant.

 

e.       how the plan aligns the interests of the management and the Company in the short, medium and long term

98 
 
 

 

In the short term, both the Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan align the interests of the Beneficiaries with those of the Company by splitting the individual objectives of the Company's annual goals. Furthermore, these Plans strongly attach the individual performance of the Beneficiary with the objectives of the Company, since the Beneficiaries have an additional incentive to implement medium and long-term actions that generate added value for the Company and that will therefore be reflected in the market valuation of the shares issued by the Company and the ownership of the Beneficiary. Furthermore, these Plans are instruments of strong power to attract and retain talent in the Company.

 

f./ g. maximum number of shares covered and maximum number of options to be granted

 

The Options granted under the Stock Option Plan, in addition to the Prizes (rights to receive preferred shares issued by the Company under the terms of the Restricted Stock Plan, as defined below) granted under the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Plan - Gol's Restricted Stock Plan, approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on July 30, 2020 ("Restricted Stock Plan"), may grant rights over a number of shares not exceeding, at any time, five percent (5%) of the shares issued by the Company. If the Options granted are not exercised, the shares to which they refer will not be computed again in the number of shares included in this Plan.

 

For the year 2019, 1,749,223 Stock Options were granted, under the terms of the Long-Term Incentive - Stock Purchase Option (“Options”). The grant date of the Options for for all purposes, was April 30, 2019 (“Concession Date”), as approved by the the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee.

 

For the year 2020, 700,758 Stock Options and 849,022 Restricted Shares were granted under the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Plan - Stock Option ("Options"). The date of grant of Options for all purposes was April 30, 2020 ("Date of grant"), as approved by the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee.

 

=For the fiscal year 2020, 615,177 Stock Options and 801,993, in terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan - Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan. The grant date of the Options for for all purposes, was April 30, 2021 (“Concession Date”), as approved by the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee..

 

For the year 2022, the granting of 682,601 stock options and 889,892 restricted stock are expected , the date of grant of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards to the beneficiaries of each Plan, for all purposes, is April 30, 2022 ("Date of Grant"), to be approved by the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee. In the case of the Restricted Shares Plan, there are no options to be transferred since the 2019 plan was fully granted in stock options..

 

h.       conditions of purchase of shares

 

In the Stock Option Plan, each Option will entitle the Beneficiary to acquire 01 (one) Share, subject to the terms and conditions established in the respective Adhesion Contract (a private instrument entered into between the Company and the Beneficiary, by means of which the Beneficiary will adhere to the terms and conditions of the Plan).

The Internal Evaluation Committee shall establish, annually or when it deems convenient and as approved by the Committee of Persons and the Board of Directors, the criteria for granting Options for each category of Beneficiary in order to achieve the objectives of the Plan. Unless otherwise resolved by the Committee or the Board of Directors, the criteria for granting Options shall establish the following, subject to the general criteria established in the Plan:

 

(i)       the maximum total number of Options to be granted to the Beneficiaries, for each fiscal year;

(ii)       the Beneficiaries to whom Options will be granted under the Plan;

(iii)       the calculation of the exercise price of the Options and the terms of their payment;

(iv)       any restrictions additional to those provided for in the Plan to the shares subscribed through the exercise of the Options; and

(v)       possible penalties.

 

In addition to the general terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and in the criteria for granting the Option, the terms and conditions of each Option granted to each Beneficiary shall be established by the signature of Terms of Adhesion between the Company and the Beneficiaries.

 

The Committee, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, may subject the exercise of the Option to certain conditions, as well as impose restrictions on the transfer of the Acquired shares with the exercise of the Options, and may also reserve to the Company repurchase options and/or preemptive rights in the event of disposal by the Beneficiary of these same Shares.

 

In the case of the Restricted Shares Plan, there will be no acquisition of shares issued by the Company covered by the Restricted Shares Plan, but the concession without consideration of such shares.

 

Each Award will entitle the Beneficiary to receive one (1) Restricted Share, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the respective Term of Adhesion (private instrument entered into between the Company and the Beneficiary, through which the Beneficiary adheres to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Shares Plan).

 

The Internal Evaluation Committee shall establish, annually or when it deems convenient and as approved by the Committee, the Award Criteria for each category of Beneficiaries in order to achieve the objectives of this Restricted Shares Plan.

 

Unless otherwise resolved by the Committee or the Board of Directors, the Award Criteria shall establish the following, in compliance with the general criteria established in this Restricted Shares Plan:

 

(i)       the maximum total number of Awards will be granted to the Beneficiaries, for each fiscal year;

(ii)       the Beneficiaries in favor of whom the Awards will be granted under the Restricted Shares Plan;

(iii)       any restrictions in addition to those provided for in this Restricted Shares Plan to the Restricted Shares received; and

(iv)       possible penalties.

100 
 
 

 

The number of Awards to be granted to each Beneficiary, in each fiscal year, will be defined according to a methodology to be determined by the Committees (which means, jointly, the Internal Evaluation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Personnel Committee).

 

In addition to the general terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Shares Plan and in the Award Criteria, the terms and conditions of each Award granted to each Beneficiary shall be established upon the execution of Terms of Adhesion between the Company and the Beneficiaries.

 

The Corporate Governance Committee and Persons, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, may subject the granting of the Prize to certain conditions, as well as impose restrictions on the transfer of the Restricted Shares to which the Beneficiaries are entitled, and may also reserve to the Company repurchase options and/or preemptive rights in the event of disposal by the Beneficiary of these same Restricted Shares.

 

i.       criteria for setting the acquisition or exercise price

 

The exercise price of the Options in the Stock Option Plan shall be calculated based on the average price, weighted by volume, of shares of the same type recorded on the thirty six (36) trading sessions prior to the Date of grant, which is the date on which the Board of Directors shall determine the number of Options to be granted to the Beneficiaries.

 

The exercise price shall be paid by the holders of the Options in cash or, exceptionally, under other conditions determined by the Committee, subject to the minimum realization provided for by law in the case of issuance of new shares.

 

In the case of the Company's Restricted Shares Plan, there is no exercise price, but for the conversion of the quantity of shares to each eligible member, on the date of the grant of each year, the fair price set for 3 (three) years is used. The Restricted Shares Plan consists of the right of the Beneficiary to exercise the Restricted Shares at the end of the vesting period. The market price of the shares on the date of transfer is used as a measure of this benefit. For the purpose of awarding the Prize, the Company shall not establish a price at the time of award. Likewise, the Company shall not charge any amount as a price at the time of settlement of the Award, pursuant to Item 9 of the Restricted Shares Plan. The objective of the Restricted Shares Plan is to confer on the Beneficiary the economic effect of holding the Restricted Shares during the vesting period.

 

j. criteria for setting the exercise period

 

With respect to the Stock Option Plan, without prejudice to the other terms and conditions established in the respective Terms of Adhesion, the Options shall become exercisable for the period between the Date of grant and the dates specified below, as follows:

 

(i)       Twenty percent (20%) of the Options may be exercised after the 1st anniversary of the Date of Grant;

(ii)       Twenty percent (20%) of the Options may be exercised after the 2nd anniversary of the Granting Date;

101 
 
 

(iii)       Thirty percent (30%) of the Options may be exercised after the 3rd anniversary of the Date of Grant; and

(iii)       Thirty percent (30%) of the Options may be exercised after the 4rd anniversary of the Date of grant.

The exercise of all the Options granted shall only be permitted after a minimum period of four (4) years from the Date of Grant.

 

The Stock Option Plan came into effect upon approval by the Company's General Meeting and will remain in effect for a period of ten (10) years from that approval.

 

In the case of the Restricted Shares Plan, there is no deadline for the exercise of options, but a deadline for the delivery of the Restricted Shares. Without prejudice to the other terms and conditions established in the respective Terms of Adhesion, the transfer of all the Restricted Shares arising from the Awards granted shall only be permitted after the expiry of a minimum period of three (03) years from the Date of grant.

 

The Restricted Shares Plan came into force upon approval by the Company's General Meeting, dated July 30, 2020, and shall remain in force for a period of ten (10) years from that date.

 

k.        settlement form

 

In the Stock Option Plan, the Options will be settled through the delivery of Shares by the Company to the Beneficiaries or compulsorily after 10 years, if not exercised by the beneficiary. In order to satisfy the exercise of the Options under the Plan, the Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, issue new shares within the limit of the authorized capital or sell shares held in treasury.

 

Concerning the Restricted Shares Plan, there is no settlement of the options, but liquidation of the Premiums. The Prizes will be settled through the delivery of Restricted Shares by the Company to the Beneficiaries. The Company may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, transfer to the Beneficiaries the preferred shares issued by the Company and held in treasury.

 

l.        restrictions on transfer of shares

 

Concerning Stock Option Plan, the Committee may establish restrictions on the transfer of the Shares, as well as establish preemptive rights, prices and conditions for their repurchase, including those shares that may be acquired by virtue of bonus, splits, subscription or any other form of acquisition, provided that such rights of the holder have originated from this Plan.

 

Regarding the Restricted Shares Plan, the Committee may establish restrictions to the transfer of the Restricted Shares, as well as establish preemptive right, price and conditions for their repurchase, including those shares that may be acquired by virtue of bonus, split, subscription or any other form of acquisition, provided that such rights of the holder have originated from the Restricted Shares Plan. All transfers of restricted shares determined by this Plan presuppose the respective agreement of the Beneficiaries

 

102 
 
 

m.       criteria and events which, when verified, will lead to the suspension, amendment or termination of the plan

 

In both the Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan, the Company's General Meeting shall be exclusively responsible for modifying these Plans, as well as creating new performance plans or incentives based on the granting of options or on the grant of awards issued by the Company. In addition, any significant legal changes concerning regulation of corporations, public companies, labor legislation and/or the tax effects of a call option plan or incentive plan based on the grant of awards may lead to the full revision of these plans, which will be submitted to the Meeting.

 

The Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan may be terminated, at any time, by decision of the General Meeting or on the occurrence of the following events:

 

(i)       reorganization of the Company, as defined below;

(ii)       dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

(iii)       cancellation of the public company registration;

(iv)       End of validity; or

(v)       shareholders' resolution to extinguish the Plan.

 

Reorganization of the Company is considered as: the incorporation, merger, spin-off or reorganization of Gol, in which the remaining company is not Gol or a company of Grupo Gol, or the substantial sale of all assets of the Company, or the transfer of control of the Company.

 

There is no provision for the suspension of the Stock Option Plan or the Restricted Shares Plan.

 

n.        effects of the departure of the manager from the Company's bodies on the manager’s rights under the stock and option-based compensation plan

 

No provision of the Plan confers rights on the beneficiaries regarding the guarantee of permanence as the employee or service provider, as well as of our subsidiaries, or will in any way interfere with our rights or those of our subsidiaries, subject to the legal conditions and those of the employment contract or service agreement, as the case may be, to terminate at any time the professional relationship with the Participant. Nothing in the Plan shall confer on any holder of an option any right to remain in office until the end of his/her term as Manager or member of the administration, or in any way interfere with our or our subsidiaries' right to remove him/her from office, nor shall it guarantee his/her right to re-election to the position.

 

With respect to the Options Plan, in the event of termination by us, our subsidiary or the Participant for any reason whatsoever, except for just cause, all options and shares which have been granted to it and which are not yet exercisable shall automatically lapse, irrespective of prior notice or indemnity. However, the option holder shall have the right to exercise the options already exercisable on the date of withdrawal within an non-extendable period of ninety (90) days from the date of withdrawal and upon payment in cash. Furthermore, if the shares subscribed or acquired under the Plan are not fully paid or paid for, the participant will have a period of ninety (90) days from withdrawal to make full payment or will have the number of shares reduced in proportion to the amount effectively contributed or paid.

 

103 
 
 

Regarding the Restricted Shares Plan, in case of withdrawal of the beneficiaries due to the Company's interest, except for just cause, the beneficiary will have the right to review a number of Restricted Shares proportional to the period transferred from the vesting period.

 

In the event of the withdrawal of the holder of options, shares or of its subsidiary due to just cause, all the options granted to him/her, but not yet exercisable, shall automatically expire, regardless of prior notice or compensation. However, the option holder shall have the right to exercise the options already exercisable on the date of withdrawal, and against payment in cash. No provision of the Stock Option Plan or Restricted Stock Plan shall confer rights to the Beneficiaries regarding the guarantee of permanence as manager or employee of the Company or companies under its control or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or companies under its control, subject to the legal conditions and those of the employment agreement, to terminate at any time the relationship with the Beneficiaries. No provision in the aforementioned Plans shall confer on the Beneficiaries any rights related to their permanence until the end of their term of office as Vice-President, Manager or member of the administration, or in any way interfere with the right of the Company or of companies under its control to remove them from office, nor shall it ensure the right to their re-election to the position.

 

In the event that the Withdrawal of the Beneficiaries from the Options Plan and/or the Restricted Shares Plan occurs in the interest of the Beneficiaries or as a result of just cause, all the Options and Premiums granted to the Beneficiaries and which are within the Vesting period will automatically expire automatically, regardless of prior notice or indemnification.

13.8 INFORMATION NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THE DATA DISCLOSED IN ITEMS 13.5 TO 13.7 - METHOD FOR PRICING THE VALUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS

 

a.       pricing model

 

The fair value of stock options was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model is an econometric model commonly used for valuing this type of asset, and calculates the fair value of an option based on certain assumptions such as the probability of distribution of the underlying asset, the option exercise price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividends for the underlying asset, and the maturity of the option.

 

In the case of the Company's Restricted Shares Plan, there is no exercise price, but for the conversion of the quantity of shares to each eligible member, on the date of each grant, the average value, weighted by volume, of shares of the same type from the last 36 months trading sessions prior to the grant date is used and these are granted for the last three concessions. The Restricted Shares Plan consists of the right of the Beneficiary to exercise the Restricted Shares at the end of the vesting period.  The market price of the shares on the date of transfer is used as a measure of this benefit. For the purpose of awarding the Prize, the Company shall not establish a price at the time of award.  Likewise, the Company shall not charge any amount as a price at the time of settlement of the Premium. The objective of the Restricted Shares Plan is to confer on the Beneficiary the economic effect of holding the Restricted Shares during the vesting period.

 

b.       data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average share price, exercise price, expected volatility, option lifetime, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate

 

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining fair value are as follows:

 

Model assumptions Assumptions used
Calculation Date In accordance with CPC 10 R1 - Stock-based Payment, the stock options were measured on the date of grant of the respective plan.
Share price It was determined using as a basis the weighted average per volume of the last 36 (thirty-six) months object of the option on the grant date of the respective plan.
Exercise price The exercise price of the options is determined by the average price of shares traded on the stock exchange by the Company, weighted by volume and recorded in the 36 (thirty-six) months prior to the grant date of the respective plan.
Expected Volatility The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the last 8 years of the Company's publicly traded shares, in line with the average term of the plan.
113 
 
 

 

Duration of the option For plans granted by the Company, 4 tranches of maturity 9/10/8/7 years and 20%/20%/30%/30% representativeness, respectively. The average term is 8,3 years.
Expected Dividends The dividend distribution rate (or dividend yield) represents the ratio of the dividend per share paid in a given period to the market price of the share determined at the date of the option pricing.
Risk-free interest rate The risk-free rate was obtained from the average of the Interbank Deposit (DI) future curve between April 2021 and August 2029 (average term of 8.3 years of the plan)

 

In addition to those aforementioned, the assumptions associated with the pricing model were also assumed that the returns associated with the share are normally distributed, that there is no arbitration in the market and that volatility is constant over time.

 

Considering the aforementioned premises and the dates of grant of options, we have the following information:

c.       method used and the assumptions made to incorporate the expected effects of early exercise

 

For all plans granted until 2009, the options become exercisable within the vesting period stipulated by the plan at the rate of 20% per year and can be exercised up to 10 years after the date of grant.

 

As a result of the changes made to this Stock Option Plan, approved by the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 30, 2010, for options granted from 2010 onwards, they became fully available for exercise after the third anniversary of the grant of the options, according to the following schedule:

 

(a) Up to twenty percent (20%) of the total options granted may be exercised from the first anniversary of the grant of the options;

 

(b) Additionally, up to thirty percent (30%) from the second anniversary of the grant of the options; and

(c) Fifty percent (50%) remaining may be exercised from the third anniversary.

 

Such plans do not have a clause allowing the early exercise of the options granted. In accordance with CPC 10 R1, we have incorporated the effects of the expenses with the action plans, considering the fair value of the option calculated in accordance with the methodology explained above, respecting the vesting periods under the plan.

 

On October 19, 2012 the new Stock Option Plan of the Company was approved. With respect to this current and valid Plan, without prejudice to the other terms and conditions established in the respective Terms of Adhesion, the Options shall become exercisable for the period between the Date of grant and the dates specified below, as follows:

(i) Twenty percent (20%) of the Options may be exercised after the 1st anniversary of the Date of grant;

(ii) 30% (thirty percent) of the Options may be exercised after the 2nd anniversary of the Date of grant; and

(iii)       Fifty percent (50%) of the Options may be exercised after the 3rd anniversary of the Date of grant.

 

The exercise of all the Options granted shall only be permitted after a minimum period of three (3) years has elapsed from the Date of grant.

 

On July 30, 2020, the Company's new Stock Option Plan was approved. In relation to this current and effective Plan, without prejudice to the other terms and conditions established in the respective Adhesion Terms, the Options will become exercisable for the period between the Grant Date and the dates specified below, as follows:

 

(i) Twenty percent (20%) of the Options may be exercised after the 1st anniversary of the Date of grant;

116 
 
 

(ii)       Twenty percent (20%) of the Options may be exercised after the 2nd anniversary of the Date of grant;

(iii)       Thirty percent (30%) of the Options may be exercised after the 3rd anniversary of the Date of grant; and

(iv) Thirty percent (30%) of the Options may be exercised after the 4th anniversary of the Date of grant.

 

The exercise of the totality of the Options granted will only be allowed after the expiration of a minimum period of 4 (four) years from the Date of the Grant.

 

The Beneficiary who wishes to exercise his/her Option shall notify the Company of his/her intention to do so, by means of a written letter addressed to the Company's Human Resources Board, indicating the number of Options he/she wishes to exercise.

 

Options not exercised within the stipulated terms and conditions shall be considered automatically extinguished, without indemnification, subject to the maximum term of validity of the Options.

 

The Board of Directors may determine the suspension of the right to exercise the Options, whenever situations are verified that, under the terms of the law or regulation in force, restrict or prevent the trading of Shares by the Beneficiaries.

 

d.       form of expected volatility determination

 

The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the last 2.016 business days of the Company's publicly traded shares, taking into account the last 8 years and a basis of 252 working days per year.

 

e.       whether any other feature of the option has been incorporated into the measurement of its fair value

 

All characteristics relevant to the fair value measurement were described in the letters above.

7.1.Approval of the Company's capital increase - Information required by Article 11 of CVM Instruction 481/09

 

The Company's management proposes to amend the caput of article 5 of the Company's Bylaws, in order to reflect the capital increases approved at meetings of the Company's Board of Directors, held during the fiscal year of 2021, as permitted by article 6 of the Company's Bylaws.

 

The proposed amendment aims to make the Company's Bylaws reflect the current share capital, in view of the approved increases made by the Board of Directors, without the need for statutory reform, on February 9, 2021, April 28, 2021, June 4, 2021, July 28, 2021, November 8, 2021 and March 14, 2022.
