GLOSSARY Companies: legal entities headquartered in Brazil, in the development of their activities inside Brazilian territory. Financing: these are credit operations whose funds are granted for a specific use, which is predetermined in a contract. Loans: these are credit operations whose funds are granted for a non-specific use, which is not predetermined in a contract. Project Finance: financing method in which the creditor primarily considers the revenue generated by a single project, both as source of payment and guarantee of risk exposure. This type of financing is usually used for large, complex and expensive facilities, which may include, for example, electric energy generating plants, industrial chemical plants, mines, and transport, environment and telecommunication infrastructure. Project Finance may equally serve to finance the construction of a new facility of capital or refinance an existing one, with or without improvements. In these operations, the creditor is almost exclusively paid with the funds generated by the contracts for the negotiation of the products of the facility, such as the electric energy sold by a generating plant. The debtor is usually a Special Purpose Entity (SPE) that is not authorized to develop any activity other than the development, dominion and operation of the facility. The consequence is that the repayment depends mainly on the cash flows of the projects, as well as on the value of the assets of the project offered as guarantee. (Source: Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards ( Basel II ), November Research: it is understood as the activities carried out in a laboratory, under containment conditions or in the field as part of the process for obtaining GMOs or assessing their biosecurity, which encompasses, at the experimental level, the construction, cultivation, manipulation, transportation, transfer, import, export, storage, release into the environment and disposal of GMOs. Social and Environmental Covenants: the counterpart is obligated, in general lines, to: (i) keep in line with the social environmental regulations and, when applicable, with the criteria of the Equator Principles; (ii) adopt measures to avoid, or when not possible to mitigate, the social and environmental risk of the transaction; (iii) inform the Itaú Unibanco about occurrences of relevant events of social and environmental nature. Voluntary Commitments: Itaú Unibanco has assumed, among others, the following voluntary commitments: (i) Global Pact, (ii) United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP-FI), (iii) Equator Principles, (iv) Protocolo Verde (Green Protocol), (v) Pacto Nacional para Erradicação do Trabalho Escravo (Pact for Eradicating Slave Labor), (vi) Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).
