The securities will be issued in dematerialized form charged to the deposit account at the BR of the entity that constitutes the TDA. According to instructions issued by FINAGRO, the securities will be issued in values multiples of one cent ($0.01). Investments in Class A or Class B TDA may only be made directly in the DCV by obligated credit establishments or through another financial entity, from the start of DCV operation hours until one o'clock in the afternoon (1:00 p.m.). After the deadline hour, no investment operation in TDA in the DCV may be settled. Entities may in no instance present defects or excesses of investment, as these are mandatory and not voluntary investments.

  2. Payment of Capital and Interest Provided that FINAGRO places the corresponding resources on the due date of the yields or principal of the TDA, the DCV will effect payment by credit to the deposit account of the respective beneficiary at the BR. If the due date for payment of interest or capital coincides with a non-banking business day, payment will be made on the immediately following banking business day. No interest will be recognized for the days that pass between the due date for payment of interest or capital and the date on which payment is made.

  3. Reinvestment of Securities Credit establishments may register instructions in the system for the reinvestment of securities, which may include changes in the class of the security (Class A or Class B) and in the amount. In the event that no instructions related to reinvestment are registered, the DCV will proceed to effect automatic reinvestment in TDA indexed to IBR, maintaining the other financial conditions of the security subject to maturity. For their part, credit establishments that register instructions not to effect reinvestment (total or partial), the DCV will proceed to effect the return of the investment value (capital and interest) that are not subject to reinvestment, as provided in numeral 3 of this Circular.
