The Rights of First Refusal shall be ensured to the shareholders holding the shares issued by the Company at the end of the trading session of September 30, 2021, in which case the shares issued by the Company shall be traded ex-Rights of First Refusal as of October 1, 2021, including.
The Rights of First Refusal shall be ensured at the proportion of 0.071674230661843 share of Oxiteno for each common share issued (and existing on this date) by the Company, being: (i) 0.039416139109966 New Share for each common share issued by the Company and owned by the shareholders, with due regard to the apportionment into different classes as set forth in item 1.1 of Exhibit II; and (ii) 0.032258091551877 Existing Share for each common share issued by the Company and owned by the shareholders.

The possible fractions of New Shares and Existing Shares resulting from the exercise of the Rights of First Refusal shall be rounded (a) upwards, to the nearest whole number, if the resulting fraction is equal to or above 0.5 of share, or (b) downwards, to the nearest whole number, if the resulting fraction is below 0.5 of share. There will be no rights of subscription or acquisition of leftovers (i.e. non-subscribed New Shares and non-acquired Existing Shares through the Rights of First Refusal) of New Shares and Existing Shares, respectively.
The subscription price per share is of US$ 17.8358 per New Share, free and clear of all withholdings and/or deductions, by virtue of the taxes and/or costs of any nature for which the Purchasers are deemed responsible (“Final Subscription Price per Share”).

Accordingly, considering the Exchange Rate of the Rights of First Refusal and in accordance with the subsequent adjustment referred to below, the shareholders that choose to exercise their Rights of First Refusal, shall, initially, on the exercise date:

The total effective amount to be paid by the shareholders due to the exercise of their Rights of First Refusal shall be rounded (i) upwards, to the nearest amount of cents of Brazilian Real, if the resulting fraction is equal to or above R$ 0.005, or (ii) downwards, to the nearest whole number, if the resulting fraction is below R$ 0.005.
Under the terms and conditions applicable to the Transaction, including the indication of guarantors in relation to the payment of the price (including the Final Deferred Purchase Price per Share, as defined in item 2.2 of Exhibit II), the shareholders that have exercised the Rights of First Refusal shall: (i) deposit 100% of the Initial Purchase Price per Share in cash, in which case the portion corresponding to the Initial Deferred Purchase Price per Share will be held in an escrow account to guarantee the payment of the Final Deferred Purchase Price per Share, or (ii) deposit the Upfront Initial Purchase Price per Share in cash and provide a bank guarantee in the amount equivalent to the Initial Deferred Purchase Price per Share in order to guarantee the payment of the Final Deferred Purchase Price per Share on the Second Installment Date.
In addition, the Company clarifies that, considering that the value of the Final Subscription Price per Share and the Upfront Estimated Purchase Price per Share (as defined in Exhibit II) are subject to (a) the variation of the US dollar against the Brazilian Real on the date of definition of the Exchange Rate of the Rights of First Refusal and the completion of the Transaction and the payment of the Upfront Estimated Purchase Price per Share and the Final Subscription Price per Share, as well as (b) the terms, conditions, deadlines and adjustment procedures set forth in the Agreement and summarized in Exhibit II, in the event: (i) the Final Subscription Price per Share is higher than the Initial Subscription Price per Share; and/or (ii) the Upfront Estimated Purchase Price per Share is higher than the Upfront Initial Purchase Price per Share (as defined in Exhibit II), the shareholders shall, within five (5) business days counted from the disclosure date of the Final Subscription Price per Share and the Upfront Estimated Purchase Price per Share, (a) supplement, as applicable, the Initial Subscription Price per Share and/or the Upfront Initial Purchase Price per Share, by paying the difference, respectively, to Oxiteno and/or the Company, subject to forfeit the preclusion of the respective Rights of First Refusal (“Additional Exercise Price”), or (b) waive the exercise of the Rights of First Refusal (failure to supplement according to item “a” above shall constitute waiver).
Similarly, in the event: (i) the Final Subscription Price per Share is lower than the Initial Subscription Price per Share; and/or (ii) the Upfront Estimated Purchase Price per Share is lower than the Upfront Initial Purchase Price per Share, Oxiteno and the Company, respectively, shall return the difference to the shareholders that have exercised the Rights of First Refusal, as timely informed.
The lack of full payment of the Final Subscription Price per Share or the Upfront Estimated Purchase Price per Share, as applicable, by any shareholder that has declared the intention to exercise the Rights of First Refusal under the terms informed in this Notice to Shareholders or the non-compliance with any of the applicable terms and conditions for the exercise of the Rights of First Refusal, as informed in the Management’s Proposal for the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on September 30, 2021, or in this Notice to Shareholders, shall imply in the preclusion of the Rights of First Refusal granted to the respective shareholder, with the refund of any paid amounts.

If: (a) the Estimated Total Purchase Price per Share, converted into Brazilian Reais at the Exchange Rate of the Closing, multiplied by the total number of Existing Shares is R$ 1,000,000.00 higher or lower than (b) the Final Purchase Price per Share, converted into Brazilian Reais at the Exchange Rate of the Closing, multiplied by the total number of Existing Shares, the difference in US$ between the Estimated Total Purchase Price per Share and the Final Purchase Price per Share (“Price Adjustment”), shall be paid within 10 Business Days counted from the date of the final definition of the Final Purchase Price per Share, free and clear of all withholdings and/or deductions, by virtue of the taxes and/or costs of any nature for which the respective party is deemed responsible, as follows:
