Under the BNDES Mais Inova\u00e7\u00e3o program, the financing reinforces BNDES\u2019 commitment to supporting innovative projects and Eve\u2019s advancements in fostering decarbonization and the urban air mobility (UAM) industry.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturing facility financing builds upon the successful partnership between Eve and BNDES following the 2022 approval of a $92.5 million line of credit to support Eve&#8217;s eVTOL development program. The new funding agreement is structured by sub-credits from domestic and international sources, including the bank\u2019s foreign currency funds, and a maturity of 16 years.<\/p>\n<p>With an eventual total expected output of up to 480 aircraft per year, Eve plans to expand the site\u2019s production capacity on a modular basis, with four equally sized modules of 120 aircraft per year. This will provide for a disciplined, capital-efficient investment approach as the market grows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>* <\/strong>Equivalent amount in US dollars; BRL 500 million in local currency (Brazilian real &#8211; BRL)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This press release may contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including expected delivery dates.
