Overview
Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices
The shares of Banco BTG Pactual that back BPAC11 Units are listed and traded on B3. BPAC11 Units are currently composed of: (i) one common share of Banco BTG Pactual and (ii) two Class A preferred shares of Banco BTG Pactual.
Banco BTG Pactual understands that it adopts high corporate governance levels and voluntarily complies with specific requirements of companies listed in Level 1, although it is unable to formally join B3’s “Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices” and B3 denied Banco BTG Pactual’s request to join Level 1, since (i) BBTG11 Units offered were traded in B3’s traditional market as they were composed not only of shares issued by Banco BTG Pactual, but also of BDRs backed by shares issued by BTG Pactual Participations (currently, PPLA Participations), which are not admitted to trading in Level 1, and (ii) Banco BTG Pactual’s listing in Level 1 would cause the securities associated with the bank to be identified as assets traded in the above-mentioned segment. For more information on the corporate governance practices adopted by the Companies, see section 12 of Banco BTG Pactual’s Reference Form, available on this website in the section Information on the Group‘s Companies.
