    19) EQUITY

    Share capital

    As of December 31, 2017, share capital stood at 48 thousand U.S. dollars (€33,304), divided into 73,909,056 shares. PikCo owns 68.14% of ordinary shares of Atento S.A.

    Share premium

    The share premium refers to the difference between the subscription price that the shareholders paid for the shares and their nominal value. Since this is a capital reserve, it can only be used to increase capital, offset losses, redeem, reimburse or repurchase shares.

    Reserve for acquisition of non-controlling interest

    Refers to options attributable to the parent company in the acquisition of RBrasil and Interfile in the total amount of 23,531 thousand U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2017 and 1,057 thousand of U.S. dollars for acquisition of RBrasil as of December 31, 2016.

    Dividends

    On October 31, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a cash interim dividend of 24,147 thousand U.S. dollars with dividends declared per share of $0.33, paid on November 28, 2017.

    Legal reserve

    According to commercial legislation in Luxembourg, Atento S.A. must transfer 5% of its year profits to legal reserve until the amount reaches 10% of share capital. The legal reserve cannot be distributed.

    At December 31, 2016 and 2017, no legal reserve had been established, mainly due to the losses incurred by Atento S.A.

    Translation differences

    Translation differences reflect the differences arising on account of exchange rate fluctuations when converting the net assets of fully consolidated foreign companies from local currency into Atento Group’s presentation currency (U.S. dollars).

    Stock-based compensation

    a) Description of sharebased payment arrangements

    In 2014, Atento granted the following two share-based payment arrangements to directors, officers and other employees, for the Company and its subsidiaries;

    1. Time Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) (equity settled)

    Grant date: December 3, 2014

    Amount: 256,134 RSUs

    Vesting period: 50% vests on October 1, 2015 and the remaining 50% vests on October 1, 2016.

    There are no other vesting conditions.

    2. Performance RSU (equity settled)

    Grant date: December 3, 2014

    Amount: 931,189 RSUs

    Vesting period: 100% of the RSUs vest on October 1, 2017.

    Performancebased vesting conditions:

    TSR Tranche: 50% of the RSUs shall satisfy the performancevesting condition, if at all, based on the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) thresholds set forth, and measured from October 1, 2014 through the end of the financial quarter immediately preceding October 1, 2017; provided, that the baseline price for purposes of measuring the TSR compound annual growth will be $15.00. The thresholds are as follow:

    Below 10% compound annual growth: nil RSUs vest;

    10% compound annual growth: 25% of the RSUs vest;

    22% compound annual growth: 100% of the RSUs vest; and

    Compound annual growth between 10% and 22%: RSUs vest based on a linear relationship

    Adjusted EBITDA Tranche: The remaining 50% of the RSUs shall satisfy the performance vesting condition, if at all, based on the Adjusted EBITDA thresholds set forth; provided, that for purposes of measuring the Adjusted EBITDA Tranche, the Performance Period shall include the time period between end of the financial quarter immediately preceding October 1, 2014 through the end of the financial quarter immediately preceding October 1, 2017. The thresholds are as follow:

    Below 8% compound annual growth: nil RSUs vest;

    8% compound annual growth: 25% of the RSUs vest;

    13.5% compound annual growth: 100% of the RSUs vest; and

    Compound annual growth between 8% and 13.5%: RSUs vest based on a linear relationship.

    The TSR Tranche and the Adjusted EBITDA Tranche are treated separately. Thus, for example, even if the TSR threshold is not met, provided the Adjusted EBITDA threshold is met, PRSUs will vest.

    On July 1, 2016, Atento granted the following share-based payment arrangement to directors, officers and other employees, for the Company and its subsidiaries:

    1. Time Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) (equity settled)

    • Grant date: July 1, 2016

    • Amount: 1,384,982 RSUs

    • Vesting period: 100% of the RSUs vest on January 4, 2019

    • There are no other vesting conditions

    On July 3, 2017, Atento granted a new share-based payment arrangement to directors, officers and other employees, for the Company and its subsidiaries:

    • Grant date: July 3, 2017

    • Amount: 886,187 RSUs

    • Vesting period: 100% of the RSUs vest on January 2, 2020

    • There are no other vesting conditions

    b) Measurement of fair value

    The fair value of the RSUs, for all arrangements, has been measured using the Black­Scholes model. For all arrangements are equity settled and the fair value of RSUs is measured at grant date and not remeasured subsequently. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at the grant date are presented here below.

    The 2017 Grant:

    • For the first, second and third year, it is expected that 80% of the holders of the Time RSUs will meet the service condition for three years.

    d) Impacts in Profit or Loss

    In 2017, 4,923 thousand U.S. dollars (1,535 thousand U.S. dollars as at December 31, 2016 and 1,982 thousand U.S. dollars as at December 31, 2015) related to stock-based compensation were recorded as Employee benefit expenses.

    The Time RSU has been split into two options for valuation purposes to reflect correctly the fact that 50% of the Time RSUs vests on October 1, 2016 and the remaining 50% will vest on October 1, 2017.

    The Performance RSU has one market condition which needs to be taken into account when determining the grant date fair value. Two scenarios have been used to determine this fair value. For scenario “TSR 1” a compound annual growth of 10% was used; and for scenario “TSR 2” a compound annual growth rate of 22%. Given the base line price of USD15.00 (which was the opening price when Atento went to the stock exchange), a current stock price of USD 11.06 and a low expected volatility, it is unlikely that the PRSUs of the TSR Tranche will vest. This results in a low valuation.

    The Adjusted EBITDA Tranche is not included in the fair value condition as this tranche has a nonmarket performance condition.

    The 2016 Plan:

    The Time RSU reflects the fact that 100% of the Time RSUs will vest on January 4, 2019.

    The 2016 Extraordinary Plan:
