The amount of $ 35,954 recognized in connection with the acquisition of MSG was measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and primarily relates to environmental and regulatory matters, including obligations arising from licensing requirements, compliance procedures, potential claims from regulatory authorities, and commitments assumed under a structural Conduct Adjustment Agreement entered into with the State of Goiás and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Goiás. The Conduct Adjustment Agreement establishes a set of measures, deadlines and monitoring requirements to support the continuation of MSG’s operations while the environmental licensing integration process is concluded, including commitments related to environmental mitigation, remediation and socio-environmental initiatives. The remaining balance mainly relates to provisions for legal claims, primarily related to tax matters.

 

Long-term employee benefits liability exists as a result of a legal requirement in Honduras pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay a severance payment based on the years of service provided by an employee without regard to the cause of termination. The main assumptions used on the long term employee benefit calculation for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

 

       
    2025   2024
Discount Rates   7.75%   6.00%
Salary Increase Rate   7.50%   7.50%
Long Term Inflation   5.00%   5.00%
