FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to various financial risks: market
risk (including exchange rate risks, interest rate risk on cash flows and
interest rate risk on fair values), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company has a general risk management program focused on
the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the
potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
The objective of the risk management program is to protect the
financial health of the businesses, taking into account the volatility
associated with foreign exchange and interest rates. Sometimes,
regarding market risks, the Company uses derivative financial
instruments to hedge certain exposures to risks.

comprised of the Board's Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer
("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of Alfa and the Risk
Management Officer ("RMO") of Alfa acting as technical secretary.
