AGP GROUP COMPLIANCE POLICY

What Is Compliance?Compliance means to comply/adapt and, consequently, to treat deviations of

nonconformity, based on Compliance with rules, regulations and the law. It aims to guide and

discipline the behavior of employees and all the people involved in the company, so that they

comply with the legal norms, business policies and guidelines, social rules and the company's

code of ethics, avoiding, detecting and treating any deviations or nonconformities that may

occur.

Purpose of the AGP Group Compliance PolicyThe Compliance Policy is a way to achieve the protection of intangible values of AGP

Group, based on the respect for legal norms, social conduct and business guidelines, avoiding

bribery and corruption, respecting export policies and protecting confidential information.

This policy is targeted to all collaborators of AGP Group, regardless the position or

function within the company, in order to become a standard of conduct and relationship

between employees, customers, partners, suppliers, service providers, competitors, society

and public services, because our conduct is just as important as our products.

Word of the CEOThe success of longevity has always been based on techniques to preserve the viability

and profitability of the business, but they can’t be materialized if Compliance policies are not

respected, because they are the guarantee that the company walks within the legality and

good social practices. Compliance policy is a means to achieve our goals in an ethical and

transparent way, seeking to investigate, avoid and solve any deviation, risk or nonconformity.

Therefore, I invite all of you that are directly or indirectly related to AGP to read our

Compliance Policy and, together, enhance the effectiveness, productivity and trust of AGP

Group, based on ethics, legality and protection of confidential information that is our company's

intangible assets.

Thank you all.

SANCTIONS AND EXPORT/IMPORT CONTROL POLICY

Purpose The objective of this Policy is to ensure that all international business transactions of AGP are made in compliance with applicable trade compliance regulations.

The regulations which the AGP Group must follow, for example, are international trade sanctions, export controls and anti-boycott regulations that are enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry Security, the European Union and the United Nations (“UN”), among others.

This Policy sets out the minimum standards for compliance with sanctions.

This Policy applies to all international operations and personal contacts of the AGP Group including its agents, distributors and sales representatives. Hence all Group Companies within AGP Group and their employees are obliged to comply with the applicable export/import control regulations notwithstanding any contractual requirement.

Failure to comply with the requirements and restrictions of the various regulatory programs summarized in this Policy can expose the Company and the individuals involved to severe sanctions, including: (i) criminal and civil fines; (ii) imprisonment for individual violators; and (iii) restrictions on the ability of the company to engage in international business transactions.

Accordingly, under no circumstances may any international business transaction be conducted in a manner contrary to this Policy.

Applicability This Sanctions and Export Control Policy ( “Policy”) is effective to maintain the highest level of professional and ethical standards in the conduct of AGP’s international business transactions.

DefinitionsSanctions: Sanctions are measures taken by international bodies (such as the United Nations (UN) or the European Union (EU)) or countries (such as the United States (US)) that restrict or prohibit trade with certain countries, organizations and individuals. Sanctions can target:

1. Countries or regions: Sanctions targeted at countries or regions can restrict AGP Group from conducting business in those areas. For example, we may be prohibited from traveling to or making investments or creating joint ventures in the affected territory. The movement of certain goods to these countries may also be restricted.

2. Organizations and individuals: Sanctions targeted at organizations and/or individuals can restrict AGP Group from doing business with these organizations and/or individuals.

AGP GROUP COMPLIANCE POLICYANNEXES

b. Any person domiciled, resident, or located in Iran, Sudan, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, or Crimea (hereinafter, “Sanctioned Jurisdictions”) or

c. Any other person with whom a U.S. Person may not engage under any Prohibited Nations Act in the absence of specific governmental authorization.

AGP Group utilizes a number of internal procedural and financial controls to help ensure our compliance with these prohibitions. However, every employee involved with international transactions has the obligation to monitor for potentially prohibited transactions and “speak up” and immediately contact the Legal Department if they become aware of a transaction they believe may violate these restrictions.

Restricted countries and restricted partiesThe following countries are considered “Restricted Countries”:

Afghanistan Armenia Azerbaijan Belarus Burundi Central African Republic Myanmar

(Burma) Democratic Republic of the Congo Egypt Eritrea Guinea Guinea Bissau Ivory Coast

Iraq Lebanon Liberia Libya Myanmar Moldova Russia Somalia Tunisia Ukraine Venezuela Yemen Zimbabwe

These countries are subject to sanctions primarily targeting individuals or entities that are defined as “Restricted Parties” or “Specially Designated Nationals” (“SDNs”). In other words, while we can conduct business in a Restricted Country, we cannot do so if it would entail doing business with a Restricted Party or SDN.

Restricted Parties or SDNs involve the following categories: o individuals or entities associated with restrictive regimes or undermining democracy, terrorists, narcotics traffickers, proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, transnational criminal organizations and foreign sanctions evaders wherever located.

A strong due diligence process is required before transacting any business in a restricted country (Annex II). In the process of the due diligence, you must stop and ask for further guidance from the Legal Department before proceeding.
