Report on review of interim  

financial statements  

To the Management and Shareholders  

PPLA Participations Ltd.  

Introduction  

We have reviewed the accompanying interim balance sheet of PPLA Participations Ltd. ("Company")  

as at June 30, 2024 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, the statements of  

changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for three and six-month periods then ended, and notes,  

comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information.  

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim financial  

statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - "Interim Financial  

Reporting", issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to  

express a conclusion on this interim financial statement based on our review.  

Scope of review  

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of  

Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed  

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", and ISRE 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information  

Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", respectively). A review of interim information  

consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,  

and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an  

audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and  

consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant  

matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.  

Conclusion  

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the  

accompanying interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all  

material respects, the financial position of PPLA Participations Ltd. as at June 30, 2024 and its  

financial performance and cash flows for the three and six-month period then ended in accordance  

with IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting", issued by International Accounting Standards  

Board (IASB).

Emphasis of matter  

Material uncertainty related to  

going concern  

We draw attention to Note 1 to these financial statements, which states that the Company has incurred  

recurring decreases in shareholders' equity over the past few years for the reasons set out in that Note.  

Management's plans for reversing this situation, are also described in Note 1, and depends on the  

success of the initiatives taken by Management, through obtaining loans and capitalization, if  

necessary. This situation, among others described in that Note, indicates the existence of significant  

uncertainty that may cast significant doubts about the ability of the Company to continue as a going  

concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

PPLA Participations Ltd.  

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements  

June 30, 2024  

(In thousands of reais)  

1. Operating context  

PPLA Participations Ltd. ("PPLA Participations", "Company" or “PPLAP”) was constituted as a tax  

exempted Limited Liability Company under the laws of Bermuda on March 26, 2010. On December 29,  

2010, the Bermuda monetary authority approved the constitution of the Company. PPLA  

Participations headquarters is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, HM 11, Hamilton,  

Bermuda.  

The Company has applied for and has been granted exemption from all forms of taxation in Bermuda  

until September 30, 2035, including income, capital gains and withholding taxes. In jurisdictions other  

than Bermuda, some foreign taxes will be withheld at source on dividends and certain interest  

received by the Company.  

PPLA Participations (together with BTG Pactual, the “Group”) have units listed on NYSE Euronext in  

Amsterdam and B3 in São Paulo. Each unit issued corresponds to 1 class A shares and 2 class B shares  

of PPLA Participations Ltd. All units listed and traded in Amsterdam remained wholly interchangeable  

with the units in Brazil.  

The Company is the sole owner of BTG Bermuda LP Holdco Ltd ("BTG Holdco") which, on December  

29, 2010, received a Class C common share from BTG Pactual Management Ltd. and thus became  

general partner of PPLA Investments LP. (“PPLA Investments“), previously denominated BTG  

Investments LP. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company obtained the right to control the  

financial and operating policies of PPLA Investments.  

PPLA Investments was formed in 2008 and makes proprietary capital investments in a wide range of  

financial instruments, including Merchant Banking investments in Brazil and overseas, and a variety of  

financial investments in global markets.  

BTG Pactual’s asset management area manages PPLA Investments’ assets and receives fees at arm’s  

length.  

The Management of PPLA Investments is monitoring the recurring reduction in the Company's  

Shareholders' Equity over the last few years, mainly due to losses arising from negative mark-to-  

market in its investment entity portfolio. Reverting the accumulated deficit situation requires a  

successful implementation of Management's initiatives through loans - made between the Company  

and BTG MB Investments LP (“BTG MB”) - which can be capitalized, if necessary.  

Although the deficit picture portraits the existence of a relevant uncertainty that can raise questions  

about the Company's operational continuity, management evaluation came to conclude, based on the  

aforementioned initiatives, that PPLA Participations has the capacity to continue operating in the next  

12 months.

Loan Agreement  

On June 21st, 2021 PPLAI entered into a Loan Agreement with BTG MB Investments LP ("BTG MB") in  

which PPLAI approved a credit line with BTG MB with total amount to BRL750 million, to be disbursed  

according to PPLAI request, on dates and amounts of the company loan installments, on the following  

dates: June 21st,2021, July 9th, 2021, December 16th, 2021, 2022, December 12th, 2022 and  

December 23th, 2023, with 30 months maturity, starting of June 21st, 2021 and interest rate of 117.3%  

of CDI to be applied on each amount disbursed. The agreement does not have on the date of its  

execution, a provision that would enable BTG MB to capitalize such credits fully or partially in the  

corresponding number of shares (partnership interests) of PPLA Investments, without prejudice to any  

commercial agreement to be negotiated on an arm's length basis. Simultaneously with the execution  

of the Agreement, PPLA Investments requested the first disbursement to BTG MB in the amount of  

approximately BRL90 million, which was made on the same date by BTG MB.  

On July 9, 2021, PPLA Investments requested the second disbursement to BTG MB in the amount of  

approximately BRL 160 million, which was made on the same date.  

On December 16, 2021, PPLA Investments requested the third disbursement to BTG MB in the amount  

of approximately BRL 116 million, which was made on the same date.  

On November 13, 2023, PPLA Investments settled BRL 142 million of these loans, with cash and  

resources arising from operations with financial assets at amortized cost.  

The loans corresponding to this Loan Agreement are conducted within the scope of the Company's  

initiatives to address its economic and financial situation and PPLA Investments' recurring capital  

needs, especially considering the maturity of certain loans and other short-term liabilities.  

2. Presentation of Interim Financial Statement  

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international standard  

IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).  

The items included in the Interim Financial Statement of each of the businesses of the Company are  

measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates  

("functional currency").  

The Interim Financial Statement was approved by the Management on August 14, 2024, and it  

contains a true and fair view of the financial position and results of the Company.  

Amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flow and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures issued  

in May 2023 increasing the disclosure requirements for supplier financing agreements and their effect  

on a company’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. These amendments will become  

effective as of January 1, 2024. The possible impacts are being evaluated and will be completed by the  

date on which the standard enters into force.

3. Main accounting practices  

a. Use of estimative  

The preparation of Interim Financial Statement in conformity with IFRS requires management to make  

estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets, liabilities and disclosure of  

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Statement, as well as the reported  

amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. These estimates are based on historical  

experience and various other factors that Management believes are reasonable under the  

circumstances, the results form the basis for judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities,  

which are not determined through other sources. The actual results could differ from those estimates.  

b. Functional currency and presentation  

The Company's functional currency is the real, since most business transactions, especially its  

investments, are in this currency.  

c. Cash  

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and highly liquid short-term investments  

redeemable in up to 3 months, subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.  

d. Revenue and expense recognition  

Net gains with financial instruments  

Amounts that arise from trading activity including all gains and losses from changes in the fair  

value and the interest and dividend income or expense of financial assets and liabilities held for  

trading.  

Interest income (expense)  

Interest income (expense) is recognized as incurred, using the effective interest rate method. The  

interest on financial instruments held for trading are recorded in the statement of income when  

applicable.

e. Financial instruments  

This section described the accounting practices related to IFRS 9.  

Recognition date  

All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trading date, that is, the date on  

which the entity becomes an interested party to the contractual relationship of the instrument.  

This includes purchases or sales of financial assets or liabilities that require delivery of the asset  

at a specified time established by regulation or market standard.  

Initial recognition of financial instruments  

The classification of the financial instruments at their initial recognition depends on the purpose  

for which they were acquired and their characteristics. IFRS 9 classification is generally based on  

the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flows.  

Subsequently to the IFRS 9 early adoption without electing fair value option, the Company  

classified its financial assets as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), fair value  

through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) with or without recycling or at amortized cost.  

Derivatives financial instruments  

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value and held as assets when fair value is  

positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. The changes in fair value of derivatives are  

recognized in the income statement “Net gains (losses) with financial instruments held for  

trading”.  

Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss  

Financial assets and liabilities classified in this category are those designed as such on initial  

recognition. The designation of a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss on initial  

recognition is only possible when the following criteria is observed, and the designation of each  

instrument is individually determined:  

Designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment which would occur  

in the measurement of assets and liabilities or in the recognition of gains and losses  

corresponding to different ways; or  

Assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities, or both, which  

are managed and with their performance assessed based on the fair value, as a documented  

strategy of risk or investment management; or  

The financial instrument contains one (or more) embedded derivative(s), which significantly  

modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required by the agreement.

PPLA Participations Ltd.  

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements  

June 30, 2024  

(In thousands of reais)  

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recorded in the balance  

sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value and earned or incurred interest are recorded in “profit  

and loss”.  

Financial assets measured at amortized cost  

A financial asset shall be measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:  

The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets  

in order to collect contractual cash flows and.  

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are  

solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.  

After initial measurement, financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective  

interest rate method.  

Financial liabilities at amortized cost  

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and  

considering any discount or premium on issue and relevant costs that become part of the effective  

interest rate.  

Reclassifications  

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period  

after the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.  

Impairment of financial assets  

Under IFRS 9, at initial recognition of a debt instrument, the Company needs to project its  

expected credit losses for the next 12 months and recognize it as an allowance for credit losses,  

even though no losses have yet occurred.  

If the Company is expecting a significant deterioration in the credit quality of its counterparty, it  

should recognize an allowance equivalent to the lifetime expected credit losses of the instrument,  

rather than only the 12 month expected credit losses.

Measurement  

Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. They are measured as  

follows:  

Financial assets that are not credit-impaired at the Report date: as the present value of all cash  

shortfalls (the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the  

contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).  

Financial assets that are credit-impaired at the Report date: as the difference between the  

gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.  

Undrawn loan commitments: as the present value of the difference between the contractual  

cash flows that are due to the Group if the commitment is drawn down and the cash flows that  

the Group expects to receive; and  

Financial guarantee contracts: the expected payments to reimburse the holder less any  

amounts that the Group expects to recover.  

If the assets are no longer performing (a credit event), despite considering the expected credit losses  

for the lifetime of the instrument, the Company should also recognize interest revenue based on the  

net carrying amount, which means that the allowance should be accounted for on interest recognition.  

The main evidence of deterioration of the credit quality of the counterparty are:  

the significant decline in the fair value of any security for a prolonged period.  

noncompliance with contract terms for delay of principal or interest.  

deterioration in ability to pay and operational performance.  

breach of covenants.  

notable change in the performance of the counterparty market.  

reduced liquidity of the asset due to financial difficulties the lender.  

For impairment losses related to debt instruments through other comprehensive income, such losses  

will be recognized on the consolidated statements of income against other comprehensive income in  

an account called “accumulated impairment amount.” However, if in a subsequent period occur an  

increase in the fair value of the financial asset that can be related to any event, the loss previously  

considered will be reversed in profit and losses.  

The Company is required to reduce the gross carrying amount of its financial instruments when there  

is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows on the financial assets on its  

entirety or a portion thereof.  

f. Valuation of Investment entity portfolio  

Within the context of IFRS 10, this entity is treated as an investment entity and therefore it is not  

necessary to conduct all the procedures related to the consolidation of investees, as the exception  

indicated in this rule. The objective is to earn gains through the management of portfolios and  

eventual purchase and sale transactions.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

(In thousands of reais)  

Investment entity portfolio is held at fair value with movements in fair value going through the profit  

and loss account. The investments held by BTG Holdco (through BTGI) are defined as underlying  

investments. These underlying investments correspond substantially to an investment in global  

markets and merchant banking investments which are generally made directly or through ownership  

in limited partnership funds. The merchant banking investments are comprised of equity ownerships,  

loans and convertible instruments which most of the risk and return are dependent on the fair value  

and characteristics of underlying equity. The Company may adjust these values if, in its view, the  

values do not reflect the price which would be paid in an open and unrestricted market between  

informed and prudent parties, acting at arm's length and under no compulsion to act.  

Investment entity portfolio is measured according to the fair value measurement hierarchy  

described below:  

Level 1: Price quotations observed in active markets for the same instrument.  

Level 2: Price quotations observed in active markets for instruments with similar characteristics or  

based on pricing model in which the relevant parameters are based on observable active market data.  

Level 3: Pricing models in which current market transactions or observable data are not available and  

require a high degree of judgment and estimation. Instruments in this category have been valued using  

a valuation technique where at least one input which could have a significant effect on the  

instrument’s valuation is not based on observable market data. Where inputs can be observed from  

market data without undue cost and effort, the observed input is used. Otherwise, the Company  

determines a reasonable level for the input. The valuation models are developed internally and are  

reviewed by the pricing team, which is independent from the revenue generating areas, they are  

updated whenever there is evidence of events that could have affected the assets’ pricing. Investment  

entity portfolio primarily includes certain limited partnership interests in private equity funds mainly  

derived from our merchant banking activities and OTC derivatives which valuation depends upon  

unobservable inputs. No gain or loss is recognized on the initial recognition of an investment entity  

portfolio valued using a technique incorporating significant unobservable data.

In certain cases, data used to determine fair value may be from the different levels of the fair value  

measurement hierarchy. In these cases, the financial instrument is classified in the most conservative  

hierarchy in which the relevant data for the fair value assessment were used. This evaluation requires  

judgment and considers specific factors of the relevant financial instruments.

Changes in the availability of the information may result in reclassification of certain financial

g. Financial instruments – Offsetting  

Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a current  

and enforceable legal right to offset the amounts recognized and if there is the intention to offset, or  

to realize the asset and clear the liability simultaneously.  

h. Contingent assets and liabilities  

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a current obligation (legal or constructive), as the  

result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources which incorporates economic  

benefits shall be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the  

obligation can be made. The expense related to any allowance is presented in the income statement  

net of any reimbursement.  

The recognition, measurement and the disclosure of the assets and contingent liabilities and of the  

legal are made pursuant to the criteria described below.  

Contingent assets - not recognized in the Interim Financial Statement, except when there is evidence  

that realization is virtually certain.  

Contingent liabilities - are recognized in the Interim Financial Statement when, based on the opinion  

of legal advisors and Management, the risk of loss of an action, judicial or administrative is deemed  

likely, with a probable outflow of resources to settlement of the obligations and when the amounts  

involved can be reasonably measured. Contingent liabilities classified as possible losses by the legal  

advisors are only disclosed in explanatory notes, while those classified as remote losses are neither  

provided for nor disclosed.  

i. Profit allocation  

The dividends are classified as liabilities when declared by the board and approved by the  

Extraordinary / Ordinary General Meeting.  

j. Segment information  

IFRS 8 requires that operating segments are disclosed consistently with information provided to the  

Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the person or group of persons that allocates  

resources to the segments and assesses their performance. Management understands the Company  

has only one segment, which is related to the company’s an investment activity and so no segment  

information is disclosed.

4. Risk management  

The Company’s risk management involves several levels of our management team and various policies  

and strategies. The structure of the Company’s committees allows engaging the whole organization  

and ensuring decisions are readily implemented.  

The main committees/meetings involved in risk management activities are: (i) Management meeting,  

which approves policies, defines overall limits and, alongside with the other committees, monitors the  

management of our risks; (ii) Compliance Committee, which is responsible for establishing policy rules  

and report potential problems related to money laundering.  

a. Market risk  

The Company evaluated and will continue to evaluate and measure the performance of substantially  

all of its fair value investment portfolio and, therefore, there was no significant change in the risk  

management structure.

CONSENTIMENTO PARA RECEBIMENTO ELETRÔNICO DE REGISTROS  

ELETRÔNICOS E DIVULGAÇÕES DE ASSINATURA  

Registro Eletrônicos e Divulgação de Assinatura  

Periodicamente, a PwC poderá estar legalmente obrigada a fornecer a você determinados avisos  

ou divulgações por escrito. Estão descritos abaixo os termos e condições para fornecer-lhe tais  

avisos e divulgações eletronicamente através do sistema de assinatura eletrônica da DocuSign,  

Inc. (DocuSign). Por favor, leia cuidadosa e minuciosamente as informações abaixo, e se você  

puder acessar essas informações eletronicamente de forma satisfatória e concordar com estes  

termos e condições, por favor, confirme seu aceite clicando sobre o botão “Eu concordo” na  

parte inferior deste documento.  

Obtenção de cópias impressas  

A qualquer momento, você poderá solicitar de nós uma cópia impressa de qualquer registro  

fornecido ou disponibilizado eletronicamente por nós a você. Você poderá baixar e imprimir os  

documentos que lhe enviamos por meio do sistema DocuSign durante e imediatamente após a  

sessão de assinatura, e se você optar por criar uma conta de usuário DocuSign, você poderá  

acessá-los por um período de tempo limitado (geralmente 30 dias) após a data do primeiro envio  

a você. Após esse período, se desejar que enviemos cópias impressas de quaisquer desses  

documentos do nosso escritório para você, cobraremos de você uma taxa de R$ 0.00 por página.  

Você pode solicitar a entrega de tais cópias impressas por nós seguindo o procedimento descrito  

abaixo.  

Revogação de seu consentimento  

Se você decidir receber de nós avisos e divulgações eletronicamente, você poderá, a qualquer  

momento, mudar de ideia e nos informar, posteriormente, que você deseja receber avisos e  

divulgações apenas em formato impresso. A forma pela qual você deve nos informar da sua  

decisão de receber futuros avisos e divulgações em formato impresso e revogar seu  

consentimento para receber avisos e divulgações está descrita abaixo.  

Consequências da revogação de consentimento  

Se você optar por receber os avisos e divulgações requeridos apenas em formato impresso, isto  

retardará a velocidade na qual conseguimos completar certos passos em transações que te  

envolvam e a entrega de serviços a você, pois precisaremos, primeiro, enviar os avisos e  

divulgações requeridos em formato impresso, e então esperar até recebermos de volta a  

confirmação de que você recebeu tais avisos e divulgações impressos. Para indicar a nós que  

você mudou de ideia, você deverá revogar o seu consentimento através do preenchimento do  

formulário “Revogação de Consentimento” da DocuSign na página de assinatura de um envelope  

DocuSign, ao invés de assiná-lo. Isto indicará que você revogou seu consentimento para receber  

avisos e divulgações eletronicamente e você não poderá mais usar o sistema DocuSign para  

receber de nós, eletronicamente, as notificações e consentimentos necessários ou para assinar  

eletronicamente documentos enviados por nós.  

Todos os avisos e divulgações serão enviados a você eletronicamente  

A menos que você nos informe o contrário, de acordo com os procedimentos aqui descritos,  

forneceremos eletronicamente a você, através da sua conta de usuário da DocuSign, todos os  

avisos, divulgações, autorizações, confirmações e outros documentos necessários que devam ser  

fornecidos ou disponibilizados a você durante o nosso relacionamento Para mitigar o risco de  

você inadvertidamente deixar de receber qualquer aviso ou divulgação, nós preferimos fornecer  

todos os avisos e divulgações pelo mesmo método e para o mesmo endereço que você nos  

forneceu. Assim, você poderá receber todas as divulgações e avisos eletronicamente ou em  

formato impresso, através do correio. Se você não concorda com este processo, informe-nos  

conforme descrito abaixo. Por favor, veja também o parágrafo imediatamente acima, que  

descreve as consequências da sua escolha de não receber de nós os avisos e divulgações  

eletronicamente.  

Como contatar a PwC:

e-mail anterior, seu novo endereço de e-mail. Nós não solicitamos quaisquer outras informações

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE  

From time to time, PwC (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain  

written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you  

such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the  

information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically  

to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please  

confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and  

signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.  

Getting paper copies  

At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available  

electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send  

to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you  

elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time  

(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to  

send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a  

$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the  

procedure described below.  

Withdrawing your consent  

If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time  

change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures  

only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and  

disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures  

electronically is described below.  

Consequences of changing your mind  

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the  

speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to  

you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,  

and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such  

paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to  

receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents  

from us.  

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically  

Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide  

electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,  

authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made  

available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you  

inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required  

notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given  

us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through  

the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as  

described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the  

consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures  

electronically from us.  

How to contact PwC:  

You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically,  

to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to  

receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:  

To contact us by email send messages to: [email protected]  

To advise PwC of your new email address  

To let us know of a change in your email address where we should send notices and disclosures  

electronically to you, you must send an email message to us at [email protected] and in  

the body of such request you must state: your previous email address, your new email  

address. We do not require any other information from you to change your email address.  

If you created a DocuSign account, you may update it with your new email address through your  

account preferences.  

To request paper copies from PwC  

To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided  

by us to you electronically, you must send us an email to [email protected] and in the  

body of such request you must state your email address, full name, mailing address, and  

telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.  

To withdraw your consent with PwC  

To inform us that you no longer wish to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic  

format you may:  

i. decline to sign a document from within your signing session, and on the subsequent page,  

select the check-box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;  

ii. send us an email to [email protected] and in the body of such request you must state  

your email, full name, mailing address, and telephone number. We do not need any other  

information from you to withdraw consent.. The consequences of your withdrawing consent for  

online documents will be that transactions may take a longer time to process..  

Required hardware and software

signing-system-requirements.  

Acknowledging your access and consent to receive and sign documents electronically  

To confirm to us that you can access this information electronically, which will be similar to  

other electronic notices and disclosures that we will provide to you, please confirm that you have  

read this ERSD, and (i) that you are able to print on paper or electronically save this ERSD for  

your future reference and access; or (ii) that you are able to email this ERSD to an email address  

where you will be able to print on paper or save it for your future reference and access. Further,  

if you consent to receiving notices and disclosures exclusively in electronic format as described  

herein, then select the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before  

clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.  

By selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’, you confirm  

that:
