It is also important to highlight that compensation through stock options aims to offer different benefits to employees, being an economic incentive based on the growth of the company, bringing with it attractive and profitable financial incentives for the future for the employee and for the company, without forgetting to take into consideration the following:

a)       The opening of a new series of shares;
