CONSIDERING

That all operations carried out by Administrators for the investment of workers' resources are carried out exclusively in the interest of the latter, the "General Provisions on financial matters of the Retirement Savings Systems" are modified, which have as their object to establish the minimum standards for the comprehensive management of investment portfolios of Investment Societies;

That it is necessary for Administrators to adjust their reference portfolios, in order that they adhere to international best practices.

That in the last year this Commission has promoted the implementation of policies that promote economic and social well-being, so in this alignment it is a priority to grant Administrators the authority to integrate environmental, social and corporate governance factors in the analysis of debt instruments and in the design of investment strategies;

That it is of particular interest to this Commission to avoid carrying out operations that imply a conflict of interest, so it is indispensable that in the code of ethics of each Administrator there are specific policies for the disclosure of information in case a conflict of interest arises, applicable to the members of the Investment and Financial Risk Committees;

That it is necessary for Administrators, in their work of developing practices that translate into better returns and therefore better pensions for Workers, to allow Workers to choose that each sub-account or type of contribution that makes up Voluntary Savings is invested in any of the Basic Investment Societies or Additional Investment Societies, thereby promoting their Voluntary Savings;

That in order to make the investment processes of Administrators more efficient, it is opportune to relax the criteria that the independent expert dedicated to evaluating and issuing opinions on Debt Vehicles, Equity Components, Real Estate Investment Vehicles and FIBRAS, Stock Indices of Eligible Countries for Investments, Real Estate Indices of Eligible Countries for Investments and Debt Indices of Eligible Countries for Investments must satisfy; and

That the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit through this Commission, complies with what is established in article 78 of the General Law of Regulatory Improvement, as well as in Article Fifth of the "Agreement that establishes the guidelines that must be observed by the dependencies and decentralized organisms of the Federal Public Administration, regarding the issuance of general administrative acts to which article 69-H of the Federal Administrative Procedure Law applies", according to what is detailed in these provisions, which eliminate thirty-seven obligations that generate benefits and savings, has seen fit to issue the following:

It shall be the responsibility of the Administrators to comply with the criteria approved by the Risk Analysis Committee and to follow up on any updates and publications that arise regarding the aforementioned modifications and additions.

ANNEX E

Methodology to calculate the Market Value of Currency positions

For the purposes of verifying compliance with the limit applicable to Currency positions established in the General Provisions issued by the Commission, the following shall be considered:

Total Currency Exposure.

The Currency exposure of the Total Asset of the Investment Company, derived from the investment in the Investment Object Assets, both by the Investment Company and its Mandataries, shall be calculated considering the following criteria and formulas:

Independent positions are considered those of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company and those of the Asset Managed by each of the Mandataries. This implies that the positions of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company are not netted with those of the Asset Managed by any Mandatary, nor are the positions of the Assets Managed between Mandataries netted;

For Currency positions of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company:

Long and short positions in the same Currency are netted;

ii.

Long and short positions between different Currencies are not netted, and

iii.

The net Currency position of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company is obtained by summing the net positions in each Currency.

The same mechanism as in subsection b) above applies to the Currency positions of the Asset Managed by each Mandatary individually, and

The net Currency position of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company and those of the Assets Managed by each of the Mandataries, obtained in accordance with subsections a), b) and c) above, are summed to determine the Currency exposure of the Total Asset of the Investment Company.

The above is achieved by summing the absolute value of the Currency exposure of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company and the absolute values of the Currency exposures of the Asset Managed by each Mandatary. Finally, the result of these sums is divided by the Total Asset of the Investment Company. The following formula shows algebraically the previous mechanism:

ANNEX G

Methodology to calculate the market value of operations that must be considered within the Issuer or Counterparty limits

Total Exposure to an Authorized Issuer or Counterparty.

The exposure to an Authorized Issuer or Counterparty of the Total Asset of the Investment Company, derived from the investment in the Investment Object Assets, both by the Investment Company and its Mandataries, shall be calculated considering the following criteria and formulas.

The exposure to an Authorized Issuer or Counterparty of the Total Asset of the Investment Company as a percentage of the Total Asset of the Investment Company must be less than or equal to the limits provided for in the General Provisions establishing the investment regime to which Investment Companies must be subject.

For such purposes, the level of concentration at each Counterparty and Issuer observed in the Total Asset of the Investment Company shall be computed, for which the weighted average of the concentration observed in the operations carried out with the Assets Managed by the Investment Company and the Assets Managed by each Mandatary shall be used. Said average shall be calculated using the Assets Managed by the Investment Company and those corresponding to each Mandatary.

II. Consumption of Issuer or Counterparty limit through the Managed by the Investment Company.

To calculate the market value of the concentration maintained by the Asset Managed by the Investment Company, in securities and operations of the same issuer or Counterparty, the following must be adhered to:

For the purposes of verifying the concentration limits applicable to Counterparties or Issuers established in the General Provisions issued by the Commission, the following shall be considered

market values of transactions with Derivatives executed in over-the-counter markets

with each Counterparty, the market values of repo and Securities Lending transactions,

celebrated with each Counterparty, net of the guarantees received for this purpose, the value of cash deposits

celebrated with each Counterparty, as well as instruments issued by said Counterparty or issuer,

according to the following formula:

Where:

Market value of the operations, authorized in accordance with the rules

applicable to each Investment Company, which must be computed within the limits for

Counterparties or Issuer, denoting the Issuer or Counterparty with the subscript k. This value is

obtained by considering the operations and investments made with the Assets Managed by the

Investment Company.

Denotes the total number of issuances in which the Investment Company invests part of the

asset it administers in Structures Linked to Underlyings or Debt Instruments or Foreign

Debt Securities issued by the same issuer or, the total number of operations or

bank deposits that the Investment Company makes with the same Counterparty.

Denotes the total number of Derivative operations that the Investment Company agrees

with the same Counterparty.

: Denotes the total number of operations with the same Counterparty with which the Investment

Company agrees Securities Lending or Repo operations with the Asset Managed by the

Investment Company.

k= Denotes the k-th Counterparty or Issuer.

= The market value of the i-th instrument of the k-th Issuer. Such instruments

can be Debt Instruments, Foreign Debt Securities or bank

deposits.

= The market value of the j-th authorized Derivative operation, executed with

the k-th Counterparty.

= The market value of the p-th Repo or Securities Lending operation,

executed with the k-th Counterparty.

= Total guarantees provided by the k-th Counterparty in operations of

Derivative Financial Instruments.

= Total guarantees provided by the k-th Counterparty in the p-th operation of

Repo or Securities Lending.

Note that for the calculations described in this Annex, the market value

of the corresponding operations will be considered.

The formula will be used to determine compliance with the concentration limits

provided for in the General Provisions that establish the investment regime to which

Investment Companies must be subject. For this reason, only the

Investment Assets and the Counterparties corresponding to the credit rating limits

to be evaluated will be considered.

For the case of operations with Local Counterparties that settle in currencies other than the

national currency or the UDI, the credit rating level provided for in the

General Provisions that establish the investment regime to which

Investment Companies must be subject for Foreign Securities and for Foreign Counterparties will apply.

To determine compliance with concentration limits by Counterparty when this

involves more than one credit rating, after having applied the formula

to each level

of rating, the totals of each level will be added to verify compliance with the consolidated limits

provided for in the regulations.

The concentration limits to each Counterparty or Issuer will be expressed as a percentage of the

Asset Managed by the Investment Company. This factor will be one of the terms with which the

weighted average, mentioned in the previous fraction, with which compliance with the concentration limits provided for in the General Provisions

that establish the investment regime to which Investment Companies must be subject will be verified.

III. Consumption of Issuer or Counterparty limit through the Asset Managed by the

Mandatories

To calculate the market value of the concentration maintained by the Asset

Managed by each Mandatory, in values and operations of the same issuer or Counterparty, it

must adhere to the following:

The formula

will be applied to the operations that are carried out with the Asset Managed by

each Mandatory that, where applicable, the Investment Companies contract.

The percentages derived from the computation provided for in the previous paragraph must observe the

limits provided for in the General Provisions that establish the investment regime to which

Investment Companies must be subject.

IV. Consumption of Issuer or Counterparty limit through the Total Asset of the Investment

Company

The amount of concentration in each Counterparty or issuer obtained from the operations with

Assets Managed by each Mandatory will be expressed as a percentage of the Asset Managed

that corresponds to each Mandatory. Each of these percentages will form the elements

to define the weighted average, mentioned in the previous fraction, with which compliance with the concentration limits provided for in the General Provisions

that establish the investment regime to which Investment Companies must be subject will be verified.

ANNEX H

Methodology for calculating the Investment Company's exposure to Investment Assets denominated in Investment Units (UDI) or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index

The following criteria will apply for purposes of verifying compliance with the limits referred to the

positions that Investment Companies must maintain Investment Assets that are denominated in Investment Units (UDI) or in those whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index.

The sum of the positions maintained by the Asset Managed by the Investment

Company plus the positions maintained by the Asset Managed by each of the Mandatories will be considered.

The aforementioned positions will be considered independently, that is, without performing

offsets between the positions maintained with the Asset Managed by each

Mandatory nor with the positions of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company. The computation will

be carried out as follows:

Where:

The total percentage of Investment Assets denominated in Investment

Units (UDI) or those whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or

to the National Consumer Price Index, with respect to the Total Assets of the Investment

Company.

The value of the position of Investment Assets that are denominated in

Investment Units (UDI) or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or

to the National Consumer Price Index that form part of the Asset Managed by the

Investment Company. This value cannot be negative when it comes to the Asset Managed by

Basic Investment Company 1, that is, the Asset Managed by said Investment Company cannot maintain a net short position in the underlyings described in the

present definition. It should be noted that to determine the exposure of the Asset Managed by the

Investment Company in question, to the underlyings referred to in this definition, the

short and long positions will be netted.

: The value of the position of Investment Assets that are denominated in

Investment Units (UDI) or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or

to the National Consumer Price Index that form part of the Asset Managed by the

i-th Mandatory contracted by the Investment Company. This value cannot be negative

when it comes to the Asset Managed by Basic Investment Company 1, that is, the Asset

Managed by the i-th Mandatory on behalf of said Investment Company cannot

maintain a net short position in the underlyings described in the present definition. It should

be noted that to determine the exposure of the Asset Managed by the i-th Mandatory to

the underlyings referred to in this definition, the short and long positions will be netted.

Is the total number of Mandatories that the Investment Company has contracted.

Total Asset of the Investment Company.

II.

For the values and

for the market value of the Investment Assets other than Derivatives must be computed directly; while for the case of

Derivatives, the following criteria must be observed:

For Derivative instruments known in practice as call, future, and forward, whose

underlying is denominated in UDIs or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than

the UDI or to the National Consumer Price Index, their market value will be added when the

position in the Derivative Instruments described above is long, and subtracted when it is short;

For the Derivative instrument known as put whose underlying is denominated in UDIs or

whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI or to the

National Consumer Price Index, the market value will be added when the position is short and subtracted when the

position is long;

For Derivative instruments known as swaps that have at least one underlying

that is denominated in UDIs or whose interests guarantee a yield equal to or greater than the UDI

or to the National Consumer Price Index, they will be computed according to the following:

If in the operation one is in a long position with respect to a rate linked to a notional

amount denominated in Investment Units, with respect to instruments referenced to

Investment Units, or with respect to instruments referenced to the National Consumer

Price Index, their market value will be added, and

ii.

If in the operation one is in a short position with respect to a rate linked to a notional

amount denominated in Investment Units, with respect to instruments referenced to Investment Units, or with respect to instruments referenced to the National Consumer Price Index, their market value will be subtracted.

ANNEX I

Methodology for calculating exposure to Commodities

Exposure to Commodities must be calculated through the following authorized investment

instruments: Structures Linked to Underlyings, Vehicles, Debt Instruments backed by

Commodities, as well as Derivatives, through the procedure described in this Annex. Structured Instruments linked to Commodities will not count for purposes of this Annex.

For purposes of this Annex, Structures Linked to Underlyings refer to Debt Instruments or Foreign Debt Securities whose returns are linked to Commodities. For the computation of

the exposure referred to in this Annex, the debt component of the

Structures Linked to Underlyings whose underlyings are Commodities will not be considered.

Exposure to Commodities through authorized investment mechanisms:

To determine the exposure to Commodities of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company, and, where applicable, of the Asset Managed by the Mandatories it has contracted, the 'Deltas' of all

authorized investment mechanisms referred to Commodities directly or through the

Vehicles containing them will be used.

The 'Delta' will be:

In the case of Vehicles that confer rights on Commodities, Debt Instruments and

Foreign Securities, as well as futures, forwards, and swaps referred to such underlyings, equal to one, and

In the case of option contracts, they will be calculated by the Price Provider that the

Investment Company has contracted. Such Delta will be calculated per contract unit and assuming a long position.

The amount exposed to each Commodity "i" that forms part of the investment portfolio through the

authorized investment mechanisms j, will be calculated as follows:

In the case of any investment mechanism other than Derivatives: the

number of titles of the authorized investment mechanism j that contain the

Commodity i-th will be used.

For short positions through Derivatives, the number of contracts is expressed with a negative

sign.

: Is the Market Value of each investment instrument, which will be:

In the case of Derivatives: the closing points of the underlying or underlying index

of the Derivative, multiplied by the weighter or relative weight associated with the i-th

Commodity, and

In the case of any investment mechanism other than Derivatives: it is the Market

Value of the authorized investment mechanism "j" that contains the Commodity

i-th multiplied by the weighter or relative weight associated with the i-th Commodity

within each mechanism.

In the case that the exposure amount

is denominated in Foreign Currency, it must be converted into national currency using the exchange rate to value

operations with Foreign Currency.

The foregoing applies to the Assets Managed by the Investment Company and the corresponding Assets Managed by each Mandatory that, where applicable,

the Investment Company has contracted.

II. Exposure to a Commodity of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company or, where applicable,
of the Asset Managed by each Mandatory that it has contracted:

The portfolio's exposure to Commodities due to the authorized investment mechanisms will be calculated

as follows:

a) The amount exposed in absolute terms in the i-th Commodity in the portfolio is calculated by summing

over all exposed amounts of the authorized investment mechanisms that are referenced to the

same i-th Commodity and obtaining the absolute value of said sum. This implies that it offsets

between exposures on the same Commodity to which the Asset Managed by the

Investment Company is exposed. Similarly, the exposure corresponding to the Asset Managed by each

Mandatory is calculated. The positions of the Asset Managed by the Investment Company and the

positions of the Asset Managed by each Mandatory are not offset.

Where:

Is the amount exposed, in absolute value, to the i-th Commodity of the Asset

Managed by the Investment Company or, where applicable, of the Asset

Managed by the Mandatory in question. Formula (I2) shows

that exposures to the same commodity are netted in the Asset

Managed by the Investment Company or, where applicable, the Asset

Managed by the Mandatory in question.

Is the amount exposed in the i-th Commodity due to the mechanism of

authorized investment "j" that form the Asset Managed by the

Investment Company or, where applicable, that form the Asset Managed

by the Mandatory in question.

ANNEX N

Methodology to calculate the Liquidity Coefficient

Investment Societies must comply daily with the following level of Liquidity Coefficient

The numerator of the liquidity coefficient "PID" corresponds to the value of the Provision for exposure in Derivative Instruments and the denominator "AAC" corresponds to the value of High-Quality Assets.

In particular, the numerator of the CL coefficient is defined as follows and all summands must be in the same Currency:

Where:

represents the market value of the n-th OTC derivatives operation, which lacks a collateral management agreement also known as "Credit Support Annex" (CSA), and which is permitted within the m-th Master Contract approved by the "International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.", ISDA, by its acronym in the English language and translated into Spanish as the International Association of Swap Agents or its equivalent (hereinafter the "contract" in this Annex) for OTC derivatives operation (each counterparty may maintain only one OTC derivatives contract with the Investment Society in question or have more than one and therefore consider the contracts and not the counterparties). It should be noted that this sum allows netting the debtor and creditor positions of the Investment Society, provided for in the same contract. The net balance of a contract that is computed is non-positive. Netting balances between different contracts is not allowed.

represents the market value of the n-th OTC derivative with CSA, for the m-th OTC derivatives contract with CSA.

represents the value of the collateral delivered under the m-th derivatives contract with CSA.

It should be noted that in the second sum, netting of the debtor positions, the creditor positions, and the collateral delivered by the Investment Society, resulting from OTC derivatives operations with CSA provided for in the same contract, is allowed. The net balance of a contract that is computed is non-positive. Netting balances between different contracts is not allowed.

represents the market value of the n-th listed derivative, for the m-th clearing member in the respective listed market.

represents the value of the collateral delivered under the m-th listed derivatives contract (clearing member of said market).

It should be noted that in the third sum, netting of the debtor positions, the creditor positions, and the collateral delivered by the Investment Society, resulting from listed derivatives operations in the same market carried out with the same clearing member, is allowed. The net balance of a contract that is computed is non-positive. Netting balances between different contracts is not allowed.

represents the Conditional Value at Risk (calculated in accordance with the Provisions issued by the Commission) of all operations carried out with the m-th counterparty, when in said operations the margin calls are allowed to be netted regardless of the underlying or other characteristics of the derivatives.

represents the Conditional Value at Risk (calculated in accordance with the Provisions issued by the Commission) of the n-th derivative with the m-th counterparty, when in said operations the margin calls are not allowed to be netted.

The discount, known in practice and in the English language as "haircut", regarding the market valuation, to all national government securities both of real and nominal rate as well as Government Securities of the governments of Countries Eligible for Investments, both of real and nominal rate, which have a credit rating of at least AA+ or its equivalent, defined according to the following table, is included in the weights of the previous formula:

Maturity

Discount or

haircut

Less than or equal to 1 year

No discount

Issued by the federal government and with

maturity greater than 1 year

10%

Issued by governments of eligible countries

and with maturity greater than 1 year

15%

Understanding High-Quality Assets (AAC) to be the following:

Debt Instruments issued or guaranteed by the Federal Government and those issued by the Bank of Mexico;

II.

Foreign Debt Securities issued by governments of Countries Eligible for Investments that have a credit rating of at least equivalent to AA+ on a global scale according to Standard & Poor's Ratings, or in its case, to the equivalent scales of the other securities rating agencies recognized in the General Provisions establishing the investment regime to which Investment Societies must adhere;

III.

Cash deposits in banks, custodians, or trading partners in the currency in question;

IV.

Amounts of repo operations with a maturity of one day (currently only counts for the liquidity requirement in national currency, according to what is provided in the Law on this type of operation);

Excess Initial Minimum Contributions (known by the acronym AIMS), and

VI.

Assets that are already in collateral are not allowed, for example cash deposits with clearing members or Debt Instruments or Foreign Debt Securities that are committed (explicitly or implicitly) as collateral or credit enhancement in any transaction.

Administrators may demonstrate that they have liquidity policies not provided for in this Annex, for which the relevance of considering them within the calculation of the Liquidity Coefficient will be evaluated.

ANNEX O

Valuation criteria to be used to determine the amount of impairment of assets with which the Investment Regime is breached

Based on the valuation policies adopted by Price Providers, to determine the amount of impairment of the assets with which the investment regime is breached, the following valuation prices will be used:

For the case of the maximum investment limits provided for in these Provisions, the transaction prices of the operations carried out with the asset or assets with which the investment regime is breached and the closing prices of said assets on the date of breach will be used. In this case, the impairment of each asset will be calculated as the difference, when it is positive, between the transaction price of the asset in question minus the price of said asset at the close of the day on which the investment regime is breached.

For the case of minimum limits, the impairment will be calculated based on the difference, when it is positive, of the closing price minus the acquisition price, or in its case the valuation price of the previous day.

II.

The exchange rates of the currency operations carried out by the Investment Society, which in its case are associated with the transaction of the asset that breaches the Investment Regime and the Exchange Rate determined on the date the Investment Regime is breached. When the exchange rates of the currency operations carried out that are associated with the transaction of the asset that breaches the Investment Regime are not available, the Exchange Rate corresponding to the date of calculation of the impairment will be used.

The clean prices of the negotiated instruments, with which the investment regime is breached, or in its case to determine the impairment of the fund, of the assets that make up the portfolio of the Investment Society.

The Administrator must compensate for the impairments attributable to it, which affect the Total Asset of the Investment Societies it operates, for breaches of the investment regime through the Asset Managed by the Investment Societies, the Asset Managed by Mandatories, or a combination of the aforementioned.

In the case of impairments attributable to violations of the investment regime through the management of the Asset Managed by a Mandatory, the Commission will determine the amount to be compensated based on the information from the Price Provider contracted to value said investment portfolio.

The Administrator must contractually provide that the Price Provider facilitates the necessary information to the Commission to determine the amount to be compensated for impairments attributable to the Administrator, which may consist of information with different periodicity and detail than those that the Commission may have established in the General Rules established for this purpose by the Commission for the delivery of information.

ANNEX T

Methodology for verifying compliance with limits regarding Structured Instruments.

For the purposes of the limits regarding positions in Structured Instruments established in the General Provisions that establish the Investment Regime to which investment companies must be subject, the following criteria must be observed:

The sum of (i) the market value of Structured Instruments issued without the capital call mechanism, (ii) the market value of capital calls already made on Structured Instruments issued under the capital call mechanism, and (iii) the peso equivalent of the minimum between 35% of the notional value of the issuance or the notional value of the pending capital calls of the Structured Instrument issued under the capital call mechanism, with respect to the Total Asset of the Investment Company, will be considered. That is, for each Investment Company, to compute investments in Structured Instruments, the sum of i) the market value of the total amount invested by said investment company and, ii) 35% of the amount initially committed by the investment company is calculated. The sum of the aforementioned factors will not exceed 100% of the amount initially committed by the investment company; therefore, the computation must be carried out as follows:

For the purposes of computing the capital calls provided for in this annex, pending capital calls will not be considered when the Investment Committee has determined, notified the Commission, and initiated the appropriate procedures for the Structured Instruments that fall under this present scenario to cease being part of the investment portfolios of the Investment Companies, prior to the call, not to participate in the capital calls of any previously acquired Structured Instrument.

Likewise, when the Investment Committee has determined to participate in voluntary participation schemes referred to in Article 30, fraction V, it will be computed within the limit of Structured Instruments until the capital call has been made.

ANNEX U

Methodology for calculating maximum investment limits for the set of Investment Companies operated by the same Administrator, in Structured Instruments.

The maximum amount to be invested by the set of Eligible Investment Companies for investments in Structured Instruments must obey the following criteria:

Basic Investment Companies 1 may only invest in Structured Instruments that meet the following:

Are invested in, at least 80% of the maximum amount of the Structured Instrument issuance, and committed in at least 90% of the maximum amount of the Structured Instrument issuance,

ii.

Are transferred through the transfer of resources from Individual Accounts by the age of Workers in accordance with the General Provisions on the matter of operations of the Retirement Savings Systems.

Administrators must ensure that the amount invested by the set of Investment Companies they operate, at no time exceeds 50% of the value of a project financed through Structured Instruments that have as their object the financing of the same project, regardless of the administrator. The foregoing is not applicable for investment in a project financed through a single Structured Instrument, whose issuance value is lower than the Threshold defined in this annex.

When the co-investor and the Administrator have a Financial Nexus together, they may not exceed 35% of the value of each project financed.

The Threshold referred to in the Twenty-Fourth Provision, fraction IV of the General Provisions that establish the investment regime to which specialized retirement fund investment companies must be subject is equivalent to 4,350 million pesos, and it will be updated once every calendar year in the same proportion as the increase in the value of investment units (UDIs). The aforementioned value corresponds to December 31, 2017.

The Commission will periodically inform Administrators of the value of the Threshold, as well as the value of the Total Asset.

In the case of primary offerings of Structured Instruments and for the purposes of complying with the limits provided for in this annex and in the General Provisions that establish the investment regime of specialized retirement fund investment companies, Administrators must request in writing from the administrator of said instruments and leave evidence thereof, that they commit to diversifying the investor base so that Investment Companies do not fail to comply with the limits referred to in this paragraph.

Administrators must inform the administrator of the absolute amount and the range to be invested, the latter as a percentage of the total notional value of the Structured Instrument in question, which must be recorded in the Detailed Minutes of the corresponding session. For these purposes, the policy must provide for adjustments that the administrator may apply for the purposes of: i) complying with the limits provided for in these Provisions and ii) defining the allocation of amounts of Structured Instruments that may present variations with respect to the bids of the Administrators, provided they are based on policies provided for in the issuance prospectus, within which there may be pro-rata adjustments.

For the purposes of this Annex, it will be understood that the administrators of Structured Instruments are different when:

They are distinct legal entities;

ii.

They have distinct administration teams, that is, when the strategy, execution of investments, and administration of each Structured Instrument depend on teams composed of distinct natural persons, with areas of knowledge and experience directed specifically to the administration of the projects financed by the corresponding Structured Instrument, and

iii.

They have distinct investment theses developed for each Structured Instrument, which are oriented towards distinct economic areas or activities.

ANNEX V
