2) The Board members discussed the content of the correspondence delivered by its controlling shareholders, as well as the fact that the Offerors had informed the Company that they will present a new draft Edital to the CVM’s Securities Registration Department (“SRE-CVM”) for its review and therefore, of the applicability of the procedure set forth in Art. 4-A of Law 6,404/76 for a public offer relating to the Company’s exit from the Level 2 differentiated corporate governance segment of the BM&FBovespa.
3) Subsequently, the Board members decided not to hold a Special Shareholders’ Meeting until the SRE-CVM has reviewed the Edital and commented on the procedures relating to the Company’s exit from the Level 2 differentiated corporate governance segment of the BM&FBovespa. Accordingly, the Board members decided to cancel the Special Shareholders’ Meeting previously scheduled for July 17, 2012. Once the Edital has been reviewed by the SRE-CVM, the Board may determine to call a new Special Shareholders’ Meeting, if considered necessary. The abstention of Board members Jorge Luiz de Barros Nóbrega and Rossana Fontenele Berto is hereby recorded.
