Eve Holding, Inc. Commitments Disclosure

Note 18 – Commitments ​and Contingencies

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any accruals for loss contingencies associated with litigations.

The Company will make accruals related to loss contingencies in instances where it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Loss contingencies that are either reasonably possible but not probable or probable but not reasonably estimable, are disclosed in the notes to these consolidated financial statements. 

On March 3, 2025, a putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against EAH, our directors and certain of our officers, asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims related to the 2024 Private Placement of common stock and warrants that were issued to EAH in September 2024. Eve Holding was also named as a nominal defendant in the case. The action is captioned Taylor v. Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2025-0233-NAC. The complaint seeks, among other things, declaratory relief, damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses.  Pursuant to the operative scheduling order, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2025.

On May 28, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion to certify questions regarding the constitutionality of recent amendments to 8 Del. C. § 144, which related to certain arguments raised in the defendants’ respective motions to dismiss, to the Delaware Supreme Court. On June 20, 2025, the Court entered a joint stipulated order staying all proceedings pending the Delaware Supreme Court’s resolution of overlapping constitutional questions regarding the recent amendments 8 Del. C. § 144 raised in another unrelated action, Rutledge v. Clearway Energy Group LLC, et al., C.A. No. 2025-0499-LWW.On February 27, 2026, the Delaware Supreme Court issued an opinion upholding the constitutionality of the recent amendments to 8 Del. C. § 144.  Per the stipulated order staying all proceedings, the parties are expected to submit a proposed schedule to the Court for resuming proceedings in the action by March 24, 2026.

Based on the early stage of the case, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome or estimate the range of possible loss, if any.

Due to the nature of our business, from time to time, we are or may be subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things, performance matters under our supplier contracts and other business arrangements, workers’ compensation, premises liability and other claims. We do not expect that any of these disputes and claims will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows.

BNDES Subscription Agreement

In connection with the subscription agreement entered into with BNDES, as described in Note 7, the Company agreed to covenants requiring the Company to use the gross proceeds from the subscription of BDRs in the amount of approximately $75.0 million to pay for services performed in Brazil. The Company must fully use the proceeds no later than August 15, 2028, subject to two additional one year extensions if mutually agreed by the Company and BNDES. The covenants also require services to be paid for in Brazilian reais, quarterly reporting to BNDES of the amounts used and unused, and other standard terms and conditions. If these covenants are breached, BNDES will have the right to liquidated damages equal to the amount of unused proceeds from the subscription of BDRs.

Economic Grant Agreement

On May 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Economic Grant Agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) with Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (“Finep”), a Brazilian federal public company, with support of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, and The National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development. Pursuant to the Grant Agreement, Finep has agreed to grant to the Company up to R$90.0 million (approximately $16.9 million) in economic subsidy funding in connection with the execution of a project intended to transform the sustainable and accessible air mobility ecosystem in Brazil with eVTOL technology (the “Project”). The grant is expected in two installments. The timing of their release and respective values with respect to the funding are subject to certain terms and conditions under the Grant Agreement, including budgetary and financial availability, as well as the conditions determined by the Executive Board of Finep. In addition, the Company continues to participate in the costs of preparing and executing the Project with its own resources, in the minimum amount of R$100.8 million (approximately $18.9 million) as well as to contribute the necessary resources to cover any shortcomings or additions in its execution.

The Project resources provided under the Grant Agreement shall be used by the Company within 36 months from the date of signing of the Grant Agreement, after which the unused installments will be automatically canceled. The period of use of the resources may be extended, at the discretion and in accordance with the internal rules of Finep, upon prior request of the Company, respecting the term of validity of the Grant Agreement. The Grant Agreement can be terminated early by Finep in certain events provided for in the Grant Agreement.

For business entities, US GAAP is not prescriptive regarding accounting for government grants. Therefore, management evaluated the transaction and concluded the grant was determined to be within the scope of ASC 958-605, Revenue Recognition for Not-for-Profit Entities, specifically covering the recognition and measurement of contributions.

Revenue (or other income) related to the grant is recognized as the conditions of the grant agreement are met, which includes the incurrence of eligible project costs. Grant proceeds are recognized only to the extent that the Company has satisfied the performance requirements specified in the agreement. Upon receipt of the grant funds, the Company records a Subsidies and grants liability for the amount received, as the related conditions of the grant have not yet been satisfied. This liability is subsequently reduced and recognized as revenue (or other income) as eligible project costs are incurred and the conditions of the grant agreement are met.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately $6.9 million has been received under the Grant Agreement. The Company has incurred eligible costs of $6.9 million and made a deposit of $1.5 million into a specific bank account for funding of the Finep grant, in order to receive the first installment from Finep. The deposit and cash received under the grant agreement is classified as “Restricted cash” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the restriction as to withdrawal or usage under the terms of the contractual agreement.
