Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors
 
São Paulo, April 8, 2010

Dear stockholder,

2009 was a year of big challenges. The integration process of Itaú Unibanco reached inedited proportions in the country, and in order to succeed in this task, we tried to reconcile the best of both institutions. In the last quarter of the year, the Board of Directors, supported by the Personnel Committee, initiated a wide-raging discussion about the new corporate culture, basis for implementing our ambitious plans for growth.

Itaú Unibanco is aware of its great responsibility as leader in the financial sector. Our values and attitudes strengthen our commitment to the best practices of Corporate Governance, social and environmental responsibility, ethical conduct, and creation of value to our stockholder. In 2009, the result of these efforts was widely recognized by the market:

 
·
We were in the list of the best companies to work of the Great Place to Work Institute, published by Época magazine;

 
·
We were in the list of the best companies to work in the survey conducted by Universidade de São Paulo and published by Exame magazine;

 
·
For the fifth consecutive year, we made up the portfolio of Business Sustainability Index (ISE) of BM&FBOVESPA;

 
·
For the tenth consecutive year, since it was created in 1999, we made up the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index.

And our efforts will continue in 2010, because we will keep promoting a sustainable development through our services, processes, products and relationships.

In this context, according to the best international practices of Corporate Governance and in compliance with the CVM Instructions Nos. 480 and 481, of December 2009, we present for the third consecutive year, this report to our stockholders, which provide details on the subjects to be examined at the Extraordinary and Annual Stockholders’ Meetings of Itaú Unibanco, which will be held on April 26, 2010. Our objective continues to be the wide adoption and strengthening of Corporate Governance practices, as well as to widen the dialogue with the thousands stockholders of Itaú Unibanco.

Have a good meeting!
 

 
Yours faithfully,
Pedro Moreira Salles
Chairman of the Board of Directors

Comments of directors

See below the comments of directors about the Company, prepared in compliance with item 10 of the Reference Form attached to CVM Instruction No. 480/09.
 

ITEM 10 - COMMENTS OF DIRECTORS

 
10.1. Directors should comment on:

 
a) Financial and equity positions in general
 

2009

The Brazilian economic activity showed a strong recovery, mainly in the industrial segment, from January. Since then, the industrial production grew for ten consecutive months, posting an accumulated increase of 19.1% until November as compared to the month of December 2008. However, despite the sequence of monthly increases, production in industry still accumulated a decrease of 9.3% between January and November 2009, as compared with the same period of 2008.

Strong growth is expected for the Brazilian economy in 2010, consolidating the scenario of recovery already noted in employment and investment data as from the third quarter of 2009.

The quick recovery of the domestic bank credit was essential for such recovery. In December, credit reached 45% of GDP, after a historic series lower than this level.

We report below the highlights of our performance in 2009, and remind that the results for 2009 reflect the consolidation of Unibanco operations throughout the year, whereas in 2008, the consolidation of Unibanco operations only produced effect on results for the fourth quarter of that year.

Consolidated net income reached R$ 10,067 million, with a 21.4% return on average equity. Excluding the non-recurring effects on income for the year, corresponding to an expense of R$ 424 million, the recurring net income amounted to R$ 10,491 million, with a return of 22.3%.

Consolidated stockholders’ equity totaled R$ 50,683 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of 16.1% in relation to the previous year. Therefore, the recurring return on the average equity reached 22.3%.

The total balance of assets amounted to R$ 608,273 million at the end of the year, a drop of 4.5% in relation to the previous year. The recurring return on the average asset stood at 1.7% in 2009. The Basel ratio reached 16.7% at the end of the year.

Free, raised and managed assets increased 5.9% in relation to December 2008, totaling R$ 855,112 million. The growth of 22.7% in savings deposits was noteworthy, reaching R$ 48,221 million at the end of the period. We ended 2009 with a balance of R$ 333,869 million in managed assets.

Despite all challenges faced in 2009, we maintained a high level of financial performance, based mainly on the high level of segmentation and specialization of our operations in the market. The offer of differentiated financial products and services, specifically developed for the many different types of clients and sold in exclusive platforms and channels, is an essential characteristic of our operations.

Our credit portfolio, including endorsements and sureties, totaled R$ 278,382 million, an increase of 2.4% from the previous year. Considering retail loans and financing operations only, we recorded a growth of 14.0% in the portfolio balance, totaling R$ 177,491 million.  On the other hand, we recorded a drop of 13.6% in loan operations carried out with large companies and of 12.6% in the portfolios in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, a result of the appreciation of the Brazilin real in relation to foreign currencies and the recovery of capital markets, which resumed representing an important source for the investment projects of large conglomerates.

The change of the retail credit portfolio was characterized by the increases of R$ 10,352 million, or 20.4%, in operations of very small, small and middle market companies, R$ 5,458 million, or 23.1% in credit card balance, R$ 4,351, or 9.1%, in vehicle financing operations and R$ 2,266 million, or 36.3%, in real estate loan portfolio. Therefore, despite the reduction in the level of economic activity, we increased our credit granting and maintained our leadership position in many operating segments.

The prices of preferred shares of Itaú Unibanco appreciated 61.5% over 2009. The market value of Itaú Unibanco at Stock Exchanges, calculated taking into consideration the average price of the outstanding preferred shares on the last trading day of the period, totaled R$ 175.1 billion at the end of December. According to Bloomberg, at December 31, 2009 Itaú Unibanco ranked ninth in the world bank rank, based on its market value.

2008

2008 was marked by the merger of the financial institutions Itaú and Unibanco which, on November 3, 2008, signed an agreement for the merger of their financial operations.  This was the formal beginning of the construction of the largest private financial conglomerate in the Southern Hemisphere, with a market value that placed it among the 20 largest financial institutions in the world.

In 2008, the global financial market went through a unique moment, of significant changes with several impacts on Brazil. The first effects were felt here in August 2008 with the beginning of a strong process of devaluation of the Real in relation to the US dollar and the continuity of the adjustments at the stock exchanges started in the first half. The situation became more serious in September with the retraction of the world’s credit market. The shortage of external credit lines led the Brazilian companies that operate abroad to seek credit in the local market. The credit offer maintained by large Brazilian banks reflected the effects of this new demand, the healthy preservation of liquidity and the expected increase in default rates. The combination of different factors, particularly the external ones, caused a reduction in the level of expansion of the Brazilian economy.

The integration of the operations of Itaú and Unibanco took place in a favorable environment, created by the international crisis itself, which offers opportunities for an Organization that is even stronger and more competitive. The merger is in line with the global consolidation movement of the financial institutions, which reflect the permanent search for more solid operations prepared for competition and more prepared to ensure the offer of credit and the soundness of the own system.

We report below the highlights of our performance in 2008, and remind that the net income for the period had the impact of consolidation of Unibanco results for the fourth quarter of that year, whereas balance sheet accounts were fully consolidated at December 31, 2008.

Consolidated net income for the year totaled R$ 7,803 million, with a return of 23.8% on average equity. Excluding the non-recurring effects on income for the year, corresponding to an expense of R$ 567 million, the recurring net income amounted to R$ 8,371 million, with a return of 25.5%.

Stockholders’ equity reached R$ 43,664 million at the end of 2008, an increase of 50.7% as compared to December 2007.

Consolidated assets of the new bank totaled R$ 637,202 million at December 31, 2008. The Basel ratio stood at 16.1% at the end of December 2008.

Free, raised and managed assets increased 74.3% in relation to December 2007, totaling R$ 807,652 million. The growth of 469.8% in time deposits was noteworthy, reaching R$ 135,901 million at the end of the year. We ended 2008 with a balance of R$ 258,252 million in managed assets.

Our credit portfolio, including endorsements and sureties, totaled R$ 271,983 million at December 31, 2008, representing an increase of 113.1% in relation to December 31, 2007. The merger with Unibanco had an important role in this increase. We particularly mention the credit to companies operations, which grew 166.8% in relation to the prior year. The balance of the large companies segment grew 178.3% whereas that of the very small, small and middle market company segment grew 147.2% in the period. Operations with credit cards grew 116.4% in relation to the prior year. The vehicle portfolio kept a significant rate of growth, of 61.6% in relation to 2007. The real estate loan portfolio added to the rural loan portfolio grew 87.8%, mainly because of the expansion in the former. Loan operations carried out by our foreign branches (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay) increased 43.9%, mainly stimulated by the foreign exchange variation and consolidation of Interbanco operations in Paraguay. If we do not take into consideration the merger with Unibanco, the total balance of our loan and financing portfolio totaled R$ 180,562 million at December 31, 2008, representing an increase of 41.5% in relation to the prior year.

2007

The international financial markets showed strong volatility in the second half of 2007, affecting the economic activity in the United States. This crisis, which arose in the US high risk mortgage market triggered a fall in real estate prices.  As a result, the US economy started to show signs of a slowdown from the last quarter of 2007 (the annual GDP growth went from 4.9% in the third quarter to 0.6% in the fourth quarter). Another indicator of this slowdown was the unemployment rate, which changed from 4.5% in the first half to 5% in December. Because of the losses caused by the real estate market, the US credit market shrunk, which contributed to increase the slowdown of the US economy.

Despite of the external turbulences in the second half, 2007 was characterized by a great surge in economic activity, which resulted in an increase of 5.3% in the Brazilian GDP. This growth was based on the expansion of investments and increase in domestic consumption, supported by the decrease in interest rate.

The strong internal growth, together with the continuous appreciation of the Real, increased the level of imports. However, the maintenance of commodities prices at a high level and the boost in global trade contributed to increase exports, maintaining a significant balance of trade for the

country. The result was also influenced by the substantial inflow of investments. In order to avoid a more rapid appreciation of the currency, BACEN increased its purchase of dollars, achieving a balance of reserves of US$ 180 billion.

We also noted a slow acceleration in inflation, which, however, stood below the midpoint of the target. The main factor responsible for this increase was the international shock to the price of food. Without this component, inflation would be even lower.

The highlights of our performance for 2007 are described below.

Consolidated net income for the year amounted to R$ 8,474 million, a return of 32.1% on average stockholders’ equity. Excluding the non-recurring effects for the year amounting to R$ 1,295 million, recurring net income was R$ 7,179 million, with a return of 27.2%.

Stockholders’ equity reached R$ 28,969 million at the end of 2007, a growth of 22.9% as compared to December 2006. Basel ratio stood at 17.9% at the end of December 2007.

Consolidated assets reached R$ 294,876 million, an increase of 40.6% in relation to December 2006.

Free, raised and managed own assets increased 29.7% in relation to December 2006, totaling R$ 463,331 million. The growth of 22.2% in savings deposits is worth noting, reaching R$ 27,990 million at the end of the year. We ended 2007 with R$ 211,464 million in managed assets.

The loan portfolio, including endorsements and sureties, grew 36.2% in relation to the same period of 2006, reaching R$ 127,589 million. Specific actions of the Bank, particularly in the vehicle segment, in addition to the significant growth in the demand for credit by individuals, caused significant increase in the portfolio over 2007. Our portfolio of non-mandatory loans to individuals grew 34.8% in the year, reaching R$ 54,416 million, and the segment of very small, small and middle market companies grew 34.0% in relation to December 2006, totaling R$ 21,769 million.

 
b) Capital structure and possibility of redemption of shares or quotas, indicating:
 
I - Cases for redemption
 
II - Formula for the calculation of the redemption value

There is no case for redemption of shares issued by the Company besides those which are legally provided for.

At December 31, 2009, capital stock comprised 4,570,936,219 book-entry shares with no par value, of which 2,289,286,475 were common and 2,281,649,744 were preferred shares without voting rights, but with tag-along rights, in the event of the public offering of shares, at a price equal to 80% of the amount paid per share with voting rights in the controlling stake, as well as a dividend at least equal to that of the common shares. Capital stock totals R$ 45,000,000 (R$ 29,000,000 at 12/31/2008 and R$ 14,254,213 at 12/31/2007) of which R$ 30,883,250 (R$ 24,697,674 at 12/31/2008 and R$ 10,258,220 at 12/31/2007) is held by stockholders domiciled in the country and R$ 14,116,750 (R$ 4,302,326 at 12/31/2008 and R$ 3,995,993 at 12/31/2007) is held by stockholders domiciled abroad.

c) Payment capability in relation to the financial commitments assumed;
 
d) Sources of financing used for working capital and investments in noncurrent assets;
 
e) Sources of financing for working capital and investments in noncurrent assets that it intends to use to cover liquidity deficiencies; g) Limits for the use of the financing already contracted.

Our policy on asset and liability management is to maintain a close match of our maturity, interest rate and currency exposures.  In order to establish policies and limits, we take into consideration the exposure limits for each market segment and product, and the volatility and correlation across different markets.

We have invested in the improvement of risk management of the liquidity inherent in our activities, simultaneously maintaining a portfolio of high liquidity securities (operational reserve), which represents a potential source for additional liquidity.

Liquidity reserves are controlled based on the estimate of funds that will be available for investment by our treasury department.  The technique we employ involves the statistical projection of scenarios for our assets and liabilities, taking into consideration the liquidity profile of our counterparts.

Short-term minimum liquidity limits are defined according to guidelines set by the financial executive committee. These limits aim at ensuring sufficient liquidity, as well as forecasted minimum needs.  We revise these limits periodically, on which we base the projections of cash needs in atypical market situations (i.e., stress scenarios).

Management of liquidity makes it possible for us to simultaneously meet our operating requirements, protect our capital and take advantage of market opportunities. Our strategy is to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our present and future financial obligations and to capitalize on business opportunities as they arise.
 
Our main source of funds is deposits. Deposits include deposits that do not earn interest in current account, interest-earning deposits in savings, bank deposit certificates sold to clients and interbank deposits of financial institutions. At December 31, 2009, total deposits reached approximately R$ 190,772 million, representing 57.8% of total funds at December 31, 2008. In its turn, in December 2008, total deposits reached approximately R$ 206,189 million, representing 61.1% of total funds, whereas in December 31, 2007, deposits totaled approximately R$ 81,592 million, representing 50.6% of total funds. Our time deposits represent one of our main sources of financing that accounted for 60.1%, 65.9% and 29.2%, respectively, of total deposits at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Income from financial operations before loan losses

In 2009, the income from financial operations before loan losses reached R$ 46,147 million, which corresponds to an increase of 97.5% in relation to 2008. This change was mainly caused by the following factors: (i) we noted a significant increase in the average balance of loan and financing operations – in part associated with the consolidation of Unibanco operations – together
 
13

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
with the change in the mix of clients and products. (ii) We also put in an extremely satisfactory performance of treasury, as a result of the impact of the drop in interest rate and foreign exchange coupon in fixed income and foreign exchange positions in the local market. (iii) Another important factor which contributed to this change was the impact arising from our strategy of foreign exchange risk of the capital invested abroad, which aims at neutralizing the foreign exchange risk, by using derivative financial instruments, also taking into consideration the tax effects. According to the Brazilian tax legislation, the gains and losses on foreign exchange change in investments in subsidiaries abroad are not taxable – in case of gains – and not deductible – in case of losses, being a permanent difference. Meanwhile, gains and losses on financial instruments used for hedging investments abroad are taxable or deductible. Our hedge strategy totally counteracts these effects, since we set up a hedge at a volume higher than the hedged asset, so that the result of the total foreign exchange exposure, net of tax effects, is practically null. Accordingly, in 2009, with the appreciation of Real in relation to other foreign currencies, we verified a gain from financial instruments and, on the other hand, in 2008 we noted a devaluation of Real in relation to foreign currencies, which gave rise to losses on financial instruments.

Expense for allowance for loan losses

Our expenses for allowance for loan losses grew 14.8% in relation to 2008, totaling R$ 16,399 million. Over 2009, we noted the impact of two events that summed up and resulted in the increase in these expenses. First we changed our mix of clients and increased the balance of funds allocated to retail loan and financing operations, which required a higher volume of allowance. Second, the international financial crisis increased the risk of clients and caused the expenses with allowances related to loan granting operations to grow.

Our default ratio of operations overdue for more than 90 days reached 5.6% in 2009, whereas it stood at 3.9% in 2008. We have particularly noted an increase in default over the first half of 2009, but from that period the default in individual operations became stable at 8.1%, falling to 7.6% in the last quarter of the year. On the other hand, the corporate client operations reached peak default in the third quarter of the year, standing at 4.1% and returning to 4.0% in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The recovery of credits previously written off as losses grew 67.4% as compared to the prior year, as a result of policies on collection adopted, which aim at reintegrating clients that are current and non-current account holders to the universe of credit.

Income from banking service fees and bank charges

In 2009, income from banking service fees reached R$ 12,455 million, which is equivalent to an addition of 44.0% in relation to the prior year. Income from bank charges totaled R$ 2,772 million, which corresponds to an increase of 8.5% as compared to the prior year.

2009 was marked not only by the consequences of the international financial crisis but also by changes in regulatory frameworks, thus affecting our income from banking service fees. This is the case of prohibition from collecting fees for renewing registration, which affected our income from current account services. Despite the recovery of economic activity after the crisis, many companies continued to adopt conservative positions in relation to new investments and funding in the market. Such conservatism caused our income from placement of securities in capital markets and economic and financial advisory to show a reduction, mainly in the first half of 2009. However, in the second half we noted a growing recovery in these activities. In 2009, we also noted an increase in income from credit cards, as compared to 2009 and 2008, as a consequence of the popularization of the use of cards in business transactions and expansion of our card base. We also noted an addition in income from asset management, which contributed with R$ 2,201 million

A Publicly Held Company
 
to income from banking service fees, considering that the balance of managed assets posted a growth of 29.3% in relation to 2008, totaling R$ 333,869 million. In relation to income from bank charges, the reduction in income from credit/registration operations because of changes in practices of priority service fees, under the terms of the policy adopted by the Central Bank, was offset against the increase in income from service packages, in view of the increase in the volume of transactions.

Result from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations
 
In 2009, the result from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations totaled R$ 2,432 million, with an increase of 86.0% in relation to 2008. The result from insurance operations totaled R$ 1,451 million in 2009, with an increase of 133.3% in relation to 2008. Basically, this change results from the consolidation of Unibanco operations, and the consequent increase in the volume of transactions. The result from life insurance and pension plan operations reached R$ 469 million in 2009, an increase of 53.8% as compared to 2008, also related to the merger with Unibanco. The result of capitalization operations totaled R$ 512 million in 2009, which is equivalent to a growth of 34.4% in relation to 2008.

Personnel and other administrative expenses

Personnel expenses totaled R$ 9,832 million in 2009, a growth of 28.8% in relation to 2008. This growth was basically a result of the consolidation of Unibanco operations throughout 2009, in view of the consolidation in only one quarter of 2008. In addition, personnel expenses grew because of Collective Bargaining Agreements (CCT) which adjust salaries from September of each year.

Likewise, the other administrative expenses reached R$ 11,593 million, which corresponds to an increase of 46.4% in relation to 2008. In addition to the impact of consolidation over different periods of Unibanco operations, other administrative expenses were affected by the increase in expenses for depreciation of data processing systems, furniture and equipment in general, and increase in expenses for credit card sales in view of the expansion and restructuring of operations.

The total number of collaborators of Itaú Unibanco reached 101,640 people, which represents a reduction of 6.6% in relation to 2008, a result of the streamlining of activities in the integration process of Itaú and Unibanco, and the transfer of employees from Itaú Unibanco to Porto Seguro, related to the process of alliance of these companies.

Tax expenses

Our tax expenses reached R$ 4,238 million, an increase of 81.4% in relation to 2008. The consolidation of Unibanco operations was the main fact that caused this change. In addition, the rise in taxable income, arising from changes in the mix of loan portfolio and a higher level of operating activity, caused our tax expenses to grow.

Other operating income/expenses

The reduction of 37.6% in other operating income is basically associated with the fact that in 2009 certain events did not repeat, such as the reversal of R$ 720 million in the provision of CPMF on lease operations, the reversal of R$ 127 million of the provision for depreciation exceeding IT equipment and assets, and reversal of R$ 64 million in provision related to the lawsuit referring to the payment of PIS (see the notes to the financial statements for 2008). On the other had, in 2009 we had the impact of the reversal of R$ 292 million, which refers to the program for cash or installment payment of federal taxes – Law No. 11,941/09.

In relation to other operating expenses, we noted a reduction of 26.4% between an expense of R$ 5,480 million in 2009 and an expense of R$ 7,448 million in 2008. In 2009, we did not note any repetition, in the same magnitude, of some events that occurred in 2008, such as (i) the setting up of R$ 1,331 million in provisions for expenses related to the integration of Itau and Unibanco, (ii) the provision of R$ 531 million for health insurance, with the intent of covering possible future deficits, (iii) the amortization of R$ 1,543 million in goodwill on investments, essentially related to the merger of Itaú and Unibanco, and (iv) one higher provision for tax and social security contingencies, as further discussed in the analysis of our results of operations for 2008 in relation to 2007. On the other hand, in 2009, the increase noted in credit card operations contributed to the growth of selling expenses, such as commissions and prizes. We also had an increase in the provision for civil contingencies in the normal course of business.

Income tax and social contribution on net income

Our expense for income tax and social contribution on net income reached R$ 7,421 million in 2009, as compared to a deferred tax asset of R$ 9,420 million in 2008. The main factors that contributed to this change in income tax and social contribution on net income were the following: (i) in 2008, we had exclusions of R$ 6,131 million from our tax basis, arising from the merger between Itaú and Unibanco, which did not repeat in 2009, and (ii) the effect of the foreign exchange change on our investments abroad resulted in a expense of R$ 2,034 million in 2009 in comparison to a tax benefit of R$ 1,281 million in 2008. This change was partially offset by a greater tax benefit arising from the payment of interest on capital, reaching R$ 1,478 million in 2009, with an increase of R$ 778 million in relation to 2008.

The expense for social contribution on net income payable in short term is still without the effect of the rate increase from 9% to 15%, in view of the recognition of a deferred tax assets at an amount sufficient to cancel such effect, taking into consideration that the Management of the bank believes that it will receive a favorable decision in the Unconstitutionality Lawsuit filed by the National Confederation of the Financial System (CONSIF).

Income from financial operations before loan losses

Over 2008, Itaú Unibanco generated an income from financial operations before loan losses of R$ 23,367 million, which corresponds to an increase of 11.4% in relation to the prior year. This increase is mainly resulting from the broadening of the loans and financing portfolio, both for individuals and companies, with simultaneous change in the mix of products and clients, favoring operations that are capable of providing a higher risk-return ratio. In the year we had a fine treasury performance, because we seized market opportunities in an environment of higher volatility. Finally, the consolidation of Unibanco operations in the last quarter of 2008 also contributed to increase the income from financial operations before loan losses.

Expense for allowance for loan losses

The expenses for allowance for loan losses reached R$ 14,280 million in 2008, a growth of 117.6% in relation to the prior year.

In 2008, considering the economic outlook of crisis and its associated uncertainties, the criteria for recognizing an additional allowance for loan operations were reviewed, resulting in the inclusion of a portion related to the risks of a more pessimist outlook for subsequent periods. From this analysis, we increased the total additional allowance, reaching R$ 7,791 million at December 31, 2008, whereas in 2007 this balance totaled R$ 2,150 million.

Besides, the expenses for allowance for loan losses were affected by the consolidation of Unibanco operations in the fourth quarter of 2008, the steady growth in our loan portfolio, and the impact of the international financial crisis on the review of risk rating of large companies, on the risk of very small, small and middle market companies portfolios, and on the individual clients portfolio.

Our default ratio, for transactions overdue over 90 days, stood at 3.9% in December 2008 whereas it stood at 4.2% on the same date of the prior year. Our models of credit risk management are continuously developed, helping us to meet the strategic goals established by the top management. The analysis of the behavior of different client clusters enabled us to develop a more intense relationship with those that have a low risk profile, thus permitting to combine the strong increase in the portfolio volume with the control over default ratios.

The income from recovery of credits previously written off as loss totaled R$ 1,339 million in 2008, equivalent to an increase of 25.3% in relation to 2007, as a result of the consolidation of Unibanco operations and collection efforts taken over the year.

Income from banking service fees and bank charges

The income from banking service fees reached R$ 8,649 million in 2008, an increase of 11.2% in relation to 2007. The main factors of such increase were: (i) expansion in the credit card basis, and (ii) growth in the client base comprising current account holders. We also point out that the consolidation of the Unibanco operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 contributed to the growth in income noted between the periods. The income from credit card operations posted an increase of 28.5% in relation to 2007, and such increase is a result of the intense focus of Itaú Unibanco on this product, in addition to the increased use of cards as means for paying sales transactions. Meanwhile, the growth in the client base of current account holders raised income from current account services, in view of the use of the maxiconta package and receipt services.

The income from bank charges totaled R$ 2,555 million in 2008, an increase of 6.5% in relation to 2007. This increase was mainly a result of the consolidation of the Unibanco operations. The introduction by the Central Bank of Brazil of changes in the collection of basic service charges, from May 2008, in addition to the adoption of a client loyalty policy in view of a tougher competition, were the main factors that determined the reduction in income from bank charges between 2008 and 2007, when we did not consider the contribution of Unibanco.

Result from insurance, pension plan and capitalization operations
 
In 2008, the result from pension plan and capitalization operations totaled R$ 1,307 million, an increase of 7.2% as compared to 2007. This increase was basically caused by a higher volume of transactions between periods. The results of the Insurance operations totaled R$ 622 million in 2008, an increase of 12.5% as compared to 2007. The result of the life and pension plan operations reached R$ 305 million in 2008, equivalent to a reduction of 23.0% in relation to 2007, due to adjustments arising from the merger with Unibanco. The result of Capitalization operations totaled R$ 381 million in 2008, an increase of 41.1% as compared to the prior year.

Personnel and other administrative expenses

Personnel expenses totaled R$ 7,632 million in 2008, a growth of 38.2% in relation to the prior year. This change is in part related to the consolidation of Unibanco operations in the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, personnel expenses grew in view of the maintenance of actions for promoting the organic growth of our operations, of which the widening of the service network stands out. Thus the total bank branches received the addition of 134 sites, not taking into consideration the contribution of Unibanco, which corresponds to an increase of 4.8% in relation to 2007.

Other administrative expenses totaled R$ 7,921 million, which corresponds to an increase of 23.7% in relation to 2007. The consolidation of Unibanco operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 was the main factor that determined this change.

Tax expenses

In 2008, tax expenses reached R$ 2,336 million, a decrease of 7.8% in relation to the prior year. This decrease in tax expenses was mainly caused by the end of the payment of CPMF, which entered into effect on January 1, 2008.

Other operating income/expenses

Other operating income reached R$ 1,509 million in 2008, a growth of 189.4% in relation to 2007. In 2008, we had the reversal of R$ 720 million of provision for CPMF on lease operations. We also suffered the impact of the reversal of R$ 127 million of provision for exceeding depreciation of IT equipment and assets, and R$ 64 million arising from a lawsuit for the restoration of undue payments of PIS Gross Operating Income (ROB) exceeding PIS Repique (PIS calculated on income tax payable), for the periods July 1988 to May 1989. In November 2002, a final and unappealable decision was awarded recognizing the right to credit and in September 2008 the expert computation for settlement of the decision was completed.

Other operating expenses totaled R$ 7,448 million in 2008, which corresponds to an increase of 253.6% in relation to an expense of R$ 2,107 million in 2007. Over 2008, we recognized R$ 1,331 million in provisions for expenses related to the Itau Unibanco integration, the provision of R$ 531 million for health insurance, with the intent of covering possible future deficits, the amortization of R$ 1,543 million of goodwill on investments, essentially related to the merger of Itaú with Unibanco, and a higher provision for tax and social security contingencies, of which R$ 290 million of CPMF on transactions carried out with clients, R$ 402 million related to the deductibility of goodwill, R$ 158 million related to CPMF on transfer of securities, R$ 18 million associated with ISS on bank operations, and R$ 199 million payable to Social Security (National Institute of Social Security, the INSS) on profit sharing in excess of collective bargaining agreement.

Income tax and social contribution on net income

In 2008, we recorded a deferred tax asset of R$ 9,420 million as compared to an expense of R$ 4,756 million in 2007. The main factors that contributed to this change in income tax and social contribution on net income were as follows: (i) in 2008, we recorded exclusions from our tax basis of R$ 6,131 million resulting from the merger between Itaú and Unibanco, (ii) the impact of gains and losses on foreign exchange variation, associated with new investments abroad, resulted in a tax benefit that totaled R$ 1,421 million in 2008, a change of R$ 1,961 million as compared to 2007, and (iii) we had a greater tax benefit on payment of interest on capital, totaling R$ 655 million in 2008, a growth of R$ 573 million in relation to 2007.

The expense for social contribution on net income payable in short term does not take into consideration the effect of the rate increase from 9% to 15%, in view of the recognition of a deferred tax assets at an amount sufficient to cancel such effect, taking into consideration that the Management of the bank believes that it will receive a favorable decision in the Unconstitutionality Lawsuit filed by the National Confederation of the Financial System.

 
b) Changes in revenues arising from changes in prices, foreign exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and introduction of new products and services

According to the criteria for classification of transactions set forth in BACEN Resolution No. 3,464/07 and Circular No. 3,354/07, and the New Capital Accord - Basel II, the financial instruments of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING S.A., including all transactions with derivatives, are separated in Trading and Banking portfolios.

The sensitivity analyses, shown below, do not predict the dynamics of the operation of the risk and treasury areas, because once loss related to positions is found, risk mitigating measures are quickly taken, minimizing the possibility of significant losses. In addition, we point out that the presented results do not necessarily translate into accounting results, because the study’s sole purpose is to disclose the exposure to risks and the respective protective actions, taking into account the fair value of financial instruments, irrespective of the accounting practices adopted by the institutions.

The trading portfolio consists of all transactions, including those with derivatives, held with the intention of being traded or to provide hedge to the other financial instruments of this strategy. These are transactions for resale, obtaining benefits from price movements, actual or expected or conduction of arbitrage. This portfolio has strict limits set by the risk areas and is daily controlled.

The banking portfolio comprises transactions that do not fit into the trading portfolio concept and are typically banking transactions of the institution’s business lines and their respective hedges, which may or not be carried our with derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, the derivatives of this portfolio are not used for speculation purposes, not generating significant economic risks to the institution.

The considerable impact on the fixed-income factor is related to the market risks of fixed-rate financing of the banking portfolio, which are not recognized as marked to market and, therefore, are not necessarily fully subject to hedge.

Scenario I: Addition of 1 base point to the fixed-rate curve, currency coupon, inflation and interest rate indices, and 1 percentage point in currency and share prices, which is based on market information (BM&F BOVESPA, Anbima, etc).

Scenario II: Shocks at approximately 25% in the portfolio at the end of the period, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

Scenario III: Shocks at approximately 50% in the portfolio at the end of the period, considering the largest resulting losses per risk factor.

On December 31, 2009, the result of the sensitivity analysis, with correlation effects between risk factors included in the trading portfolio and net of tax effects shows a sensitivity of marking to market of R$ 432 million and R$ 822 million for scenarios with variations from 25% to 50%, respectively (For December 31, 2008, the sensitivity of marking to market of trading portfolio for Scenario II would be R$ 370 million and R$ 717 million for Scenario III).

In the consolidated portfolio (trading + banking), sensitivity is of R$ 1,299 million and R$ 2,465 million for scenarios with variations from 25% to 50%, respectively (For December 31, 2008, sensitivity of marking to market of the consolidated portfolio (trading + banking) of Scenario II would be R$ 1,407 million and R$ 2,655 million for Scenario III).

 
c) Impact of inflation, changes in the prices of main inputs and products, foreign exchange rate and interest rates on the operating and financial income and expenses

The balance sheet per currency shows the asset and liability balances indexed to the local currency and those indexed to foreign currencies. At December 31, 2009, the net foreign exchange position, including investments abroad, is a liability totaling US$ 8,041 million. We point out that the policy of gap management that we adopt is carried out taking into consideration the tax effects on this position. As the result from foreign exchange variation in investment abroad is not taxed, we set up a hedge (liability position in foreign exchange derivatives) at a higher volume than the hedged asset, so that the total result from foreign exchange variation, net of tax effects, is practically cancelled and consistent with the strategy of low risk exposure that we adopted.

bank operations in all Mercosur countries - the institution will have the required agility to increase the presence of Brazil internationally.

A Publicly Held Company
 
2008
On December 28, 2007, Law No. 11,638 was enacted in order to amend and revoke the provisions of Laws No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976 and No. 7,385 of December 7, 1976 on accounting practices, preparation and disclosure of financial statements.

The main changes in accounting practices were as follows:

 
·
Fixed Assets started to include assets arising from operations that transfer to the company any benefits, risks and control over these assets and Deferred Charges started to include the preoperating expenses and restructuring expenses.  Accordingly, leasehold improvements and software purchase were reclassified from Deferred Charges to Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets, respectively, including for comparison purposes.
 
 
 
·
Periodic analysis on recovery, measurement and disclosure of losses in relation to the recoverable value of assets, as regulated by CMN Resolution No. 3,566, of May 29, 2008. No losses were found by the assessment carried out by Management at the end of each year.

 
·
Creation of the subgroup “Intangible assets” in Permanent Assets, in order to classify any rights whose subjects are intangible assets intended for maintenance of the company or which are exercised for such purpose, including acquired goodwill. Accordingly, rights for acquisition of payroll and acquisition of customer portfolio and software were reclassified from Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges, respectively, including for comparability purposes.

2007

There were no changes in the Company’s accounting practices.
 
b) Significant effects of the changes in accounting practices

The main changes in accounting practices were as follows:

Disclosure of the Statement of Cash Flows in lieu of the Statement of Changes in Financial Position and Statement of Added Value as integral parts of the financial statements required by the Brazilian accounting practices. ITAU UNIBANCO already voluntarily disclosed these financial statements.

·
Lease Operations: Unibanco is a lessee in lease operations. According to CVM Resolution No. 554, of November 12, 2008, it was recorded in assets and the corresponding financial liability was recognized.  Any adjustments to operation were recorded in Retained Earnings and in the Results for 2008, net of any deferred taxes.

10.5. Directors should indicate and comment on the critical accounting policies adopted by the issuer, in particular, accounting estimates made by management on uncertain and relevant issues for describing the financial position and results of operations that require subjective or complex judgment, such as:  provisions, contingencies, revenue recognition, tax credits, long-lived assets, useful life of noncurrent assets, pension plans, foreign currency translation adjustments, environmental recovery costs, criteria for asset and financial instrument impairment tests.
 

General

Our main accounting practices are described in Note 4 to our financial statements at December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.  The preparation of financial statements involves certain estimates and assumptions arising from experience in our history and several other factors that we consider to be reasonable and relevant. Although we continuously review these estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of our business, the presentation of our financial position and results of operations often require that we make judgments on issues that are inherently uncertain. The topics below describe the areas that require most of our judgment or that involve a high level of complexity in the application of accounting polices that currently affect our financial position and results of our operations.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements require that we make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are used, for example, to calculate  the allowance for loan losses, to determine the useful lives of certain assets, to determine that a certain asset or a group of assets posts loss in its recoverable value, to determine the expectation of realization of deferred tax assets, to determine the market value of certain financial instruments, to classify and calculate contingent liabilities and to determine the amount of technical provision for insurance, pension plan and capitalization. The accounting estimates made in these contexts require our preparation of estimates for issues that are highly uncertain. In each case, if we had processed other estimates or if changes in such estimates occur from one period to the other, there may be a material impact on our financial position and results of our operations. Accordingly, actual results may differ from our estimates.

Provision for allowance for loan losses

The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate for probable losses in our portfolio of loan and lease operations at the end of each reporting period. The allowance is calculated considering the rating of loan losses in nine different risk levels (from AA to H). The rating in each risk level is a judgment that considers the economic and political conditions, trends in credit quality, past experience, specific risks of the portfolio and certain global risks, as well as CMN and BACEN regulations. CMN regulations establish that minimum allowance levels for loan operations and other loan extensions, in each risk rating, which range from 0% (for loan operations which are not overdue) to 100% (for loan operations which are over 180 days overdue). Should our estimates differ from the amounts effectively received, additional provisions may be required.


Market Value of Financial Instruments
 
31

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 

We record some of our financial instruments at their market value.  The financial instruments recorded at market value in our balance sheet are basically composed of securities classified as trading securities, available-for-sale securities and other trading instruments, including derivative financial instruments.  Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at the acquisition cost amortized in our balance sheet and their corresponding market value is disclosed in the accompanying note.

Market value is defined as the amount in which a position can be sold or settled in an arm’s length transaction. We estimate these amounts using market quotations, when available. If these are not available, we use a variety of sources as quotations from brokers, pricing models, quoted prices of similar financial instruments or discounted cash flows. Determining the market value when a market quotation is not available involves judgment. Likewise, judgment should be used to estimate prices when there is no external parameter. Other factors that may affect our estimates are the use of inaccurate estimates in our models and unexpected correlations. Although we believe that our pricing methods are adequate and consistent with the other market players, the use of different methodologies and estimates to determine the market value of certain instruments may result in different market values at the closing date, which may affect the reported revenue or loss for a certain asset or liability financial instrument.

Judgment is also required to determine if the reduction in market value below the amortized cost of available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities is permanent, which would require the recognition of a provision with its effects recognized in results for the period. We use certain factors to determine if a loss is permanent, such as the observed period of loss, the loss amount and the expected potential realization of the financial instrument.

Contingent Liabilities

We are party in a series of civil, labor, tax and social security lawsuits, inherent in the normal course of our operations.  We record provisions for these contingencies based mainly on the following parameters: a) for lawsuits examined individually, the opinion of our internal and external legal advisors and on the probability that financial resources will be required to settle these obligations, when the settlement amounts can be estimated with sufficient certainty, and b) for lawsuits examined collectively, according to the statistical references per group of lawsuits, type of legal body (Small Claims Court or Regular Court) and claimant.

We classify the risks that such contingencies arising from the lawsuits may become effective losses for us as probable, possible or remote. We recognize provisions for these contingencies when we classify the losses related to these liabilities as probable. Although we do not recognize provisions for contingencies which risk we consider as possible or remote, we disclose the amounts of contingencies which risk is considered possible.

We measure our contingency amounts using models and criteria we believe can accurately estimate these amounts, despite the high level of uncertainty in the nature of terms and amounts of these contingencies.

Although we believe that contingencies are adequately reflected in our financial statements, their outcome may result in payment obligations in amounts higher than the total provisioned  for all contingencies, considering the inherent difficulties to estimate the exact amounts for these lawsuits.

10.6. With respect to the internal controls adopted to ensure the preparation of reliable financial statements, directors should comment on:
 
a) Efficiency level of such controls, indicating any imperfections and measures adopted to correct them

The Management of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. is responsible for establishing and maintaining Internal Controls related to the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The internal control related to the financial statements is a process developed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of accounting information and preparation of the financial statements disclosed in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls related to the financial statements include the policies and procedures that: (i) are related to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, reflect accurately and properly the transactions and write-offs of the company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Brazil, and that the company’s receipts and payments are only being made in accordance with the authorizations of the company’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or allocation of the company’s assets which could have a significant effect on our financial statements.

Due to their inherent limits, the internal controls related to the financial statements may not avoid or detect errors. Therefore, even the systems determined to be effective may only provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. Likewise, projections of any evaluation on their effectiveness for future periods may be subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or deterioration may occur in the level of conformity with practices or procedures.

The Management evaluated the effectiveness of the Internal Controls related to the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2009 in accordance with the criteria defined by COSO – Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  The Management’s evaluation includes documentation, assessment and test of design and effectiveness of the internal controls related to the financial statements. Based on this assessment, Management concluded that the Internal Controls related to the Consolidated Financial Statements are effective at December 31, 2009.

Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting to be held at 3:00 p.m. – matters to be resolved

 
a.
Amendment and consolidation of the wording of the Stock Option Plan.

The Company implemented in 1995 the Stock Option Plan (Plan) with the objective of integrating the executives into the process of the institution´s development in the medium and long-terms, offering them the opportunity to take part in the appreciation that their work and dedication brings to the stocks of the Company.

The Company expects to amend the Plan in order to adjust it to the new reality of Itaú Unibanco and its subsidiaries. In compliance with CVM Instruction No. 481/2009, the purposes of such changes are detailed below.


1. 
Copy of the proposed plan

The project to amend the Plan (comparison between the current and the proposed Plan) is in Attachment II.

2. 
Main characteristics of the proposed plan

a. 
Potential beneficiaries

According to the provisions of the current Plan, the Company may grant stock options to its officers and members of Board of Directors, and on extraordinary basis to the management members of its controlled companies or to eligible employees of the Company and its controlled companies.

The proposed amendments have the intention of including the employees of the Company and the employees and management members of its controlled companies as beneficiaries of the Plan (“Beneficiaries”). With this change, the target of the Plan is expected to increase, especially considering that employees with managerial function or equivalent or employees whose activities impact on risk exposure may receive a portion of their compensation in stock options.

b. 
Maximum number of options to be granted

There is no proposal for change that affects this item.

The Plan sets out that the total number of options to be granted in each year shall not exceed the limit of 0.5% of total shares of the Company that the majority and minority stockholders hold at the base date of the year-end balance sheet, taking into consideration that in the event that in a certain year the number of granted options is inferior to the limit of 0.5% of total shares, the difference may be added in any of each seven subsequent years.

In addition, the committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, which is responsible for defining operational rules and procedures related to the Plan (“Committee”), shall establish the total number of options to be granted in relation to each year, being able to segment the total lot in series and define the characteristics of each serie.

c. 
Maximum number of shares of the plan

There is no proposal for change that affects this item.
 
40

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
The Plan sets out that the number of options to be granted is subject to the limits imposed by the Plan (see item “b” above). In addition, the shares purchased by Beneficiaries through the exercise of options may be subject to restrictions related to their sale (holding period).

d. 
Conditions for purchase

There is no proposal for change that affects this item.

The Plan sets out that shares are purchased within the exercise period, as long as the vesting period is terminated (see subitem “f” of this section), upon the payment of the strike price (see subitens “e” and “g” of this section). In addition, options are cancelled in certain situations, even prior to the the vesting period be ended (see subitem “f” of this section), such as termination of relationship (statutory or employment) between the Beneficiary and the Company or its controlled companies.

e. 
Criteria for setting the strike price

As in the current situation, the strike price will be set by the Committee when the option is granted and may be based on certain parameters.

In case of bonus options, the proposed amendments intend to allow that a portion or the total net amount of bonus of Beneficiaries can be invested in shares of the Company. Such mechanism (i) aligns the interests of Beneficiaries in the periods of “high” and “low” of the market, ensuring that Beneficiaries effectively invest the amount received as bonus; and (ii) ensures that a lower amount of bonus shares is granted in comparizon with simple options that would be granted to produce the same financial effect for the Beneficiary, thus decreasing the number of shares effectively granted by the Company, and, consequently, the dilution of the stockholders.
 
f. 
Criteria for defining the exercise period

The vesting period of each series of the current Plan is defined by the Committee at the time of issuance, which can vary between AE +1 year and AE + 5 years, taking into consideration that AE is the calendar year of the issuance, so that the vesting period always ends on the last day of the last calendar year of this period.

The proposal for amendment of the Plan sets out the extension of the maximum vesting period, which will be seven years, in order to increase the total period of the program. In addition, a proposal on vesting period will be put forward for counting it from the option granting date, so that it does not necessarily end on the last business day of the calendar year of the established period. With this proposal, the Company aims at simplifying the mechanism for granting stock options.

The events of termination of vesting period remains the same of the current plan, which are as follows:

(i)       death of the owner of the options;
(ii)      termination of relationship between the management member and the Company or its controlled companies because she/he was not reelected or between employee and the Company or its controlled companies after completing 55 (fifty five) years of age; or
(iii)      officer that is not reelected to his/her position , but is elected or reelected to the Board of Directors of the Company and/or controlled companies, regarding options already granted but not yet exercised.
 
41

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
As already set out in the current Plan, the stock options can only be exercised after the vesting period and not during the blackout periods established by the Committee.

g. 
Type of option settlement

There is no proposal for change that affects this item. There are two types of strike price settlement:

In case of simple options: at the time that an option is exercised, the Beneficiary must pay to the Issuer the exercise price, in cash, within three business days; and

In case of bonus options: confirmation of the performance of positive covenants mentioned in item “e”.

h. 
Criteria and events that, when verified, will cause the suspension, change or termination of the plan

Currently, the Committee may suspend the exercise of options to organize subscription works. One of the amendments proposed in this document aims at establishing the suspension of the Plan under justifiable circumstances, such as large market instability or legal regulatory restrictions.

In addition, the Plan may only be amended or terminated upon proposal from the Committee, after approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting.

3. 
Justification of the proposed plan

a. 
Main objectives of the plan

The Plan has the main objective of attracting, motivating and integrating the executives and employees in the process of developing the institution in the medium and long-terms, offering them the opportunity to take part in the appreciation that their work and dedication bring to the stocks of the Company.

b. 
How the plan contributes to these objectives

Taking into consideration that a portion of the variable compensation of Beneficiaries is through stock options, the Beneficiaries are encouraged to contribute to the good performance of the Company. With this, the institution attains the objective mentioned in the item above and the Beneficiaries take part in the appreciation of shares comprising the capital of the Company.

As already mentioned, the proposed amendments have the intention of including the employees of the Company and the employees and management members of the controlled companies as beneficiaries of the Plan (“Beneficiaries”).

c. 
How the plan becomes part of the Company’s compensation policy

The Plan is in compliance with the principles of the Company’s compensation policy, taking into consideration that (i) a portion of the variable compensation of its Beneficiaries is through the stock option; (ii) is an instrument for giving incentive to individual development and commitment; and (iii) is a instrument for retaining Beneficiaries (the benefit from the exercise of options is in the long term).
 
42

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
d. 
How the plan is aligned with short-, medium- and long-term interests of beneficiaries and the Company

The Plan is aligned with the interests of the Company and of its Beneficiaries, since (i) it stimulates high level executives and key-employees to remain in the Company; (ii) it stimulates the individual performance and commitment of Beneficiaries through the results of the institution; and (iii) provides the opportunity to Beneficiaries to become stockholders of the Company, under the terms and conditions established in the Plan.

4. 
Estimates of Company expenses arising from the plan, according to the accounting rules in this regard

The Company estimates that the grants performed during the fiscal year 2010 shall represent an expense, in 2010, of R$ 68 million at most. Should there be no amendments in the provisions of the plan, such expense would not exceed R$ 20 million.

Annual Stockholders’ Meeting – matters to be resolved
 
   a.   Balance Sheets, other Financial Statements and accompanying Explanatory Notes to the Financial Statements, related to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The complete financial statements of the Company and controlled companies were audited by independent auditors who issued audit reports without qualification.

The Audit Committee analyzed the procedures involved in the preparation of individual and consolidated trial balances and balance sheets, the explanatory notes to the financial statements and financial reports published together with the consolidated financial statements, as well as it consulted PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Company’s executives in this regard. It also assessed the relevant accounting practices used by Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate in the preparation of its financial statements, concluding that they are aligned with generally accepted accounting principles, the Brazilian corporate Law and the requirements of the National Monetary Council, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, the Central Bank of Brazil, the National Council of Private Insurance and the Superintendence of Private Insurance, recommending to the Board of Directors the approval of the audited financial statements of the Company.


The Fiscal Council verified the accuracy of all items examined, and understood that they adequately reflect the capital structure, financial position and the activities of the Company conducted during the period.

On February 8, 2010, after analyzing and discussing the financial statements for 2009 and the management’s discussion and analysis report, as well as the respective opinions of PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, the Board of Officers resolved, in compliance with the provisions of items V and VI of article 25 of CVM Instruction No. 480/09, (i) declare that they reviewed, discussed and agree with the opinions expressed in the reports issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes and (ii) declare that they reviewed, discussed and agree with the financial statements and the management’s discussion and analysis report for the year ended December 31, 2009.

A Publicly Held Company
 
After analyzing the appropriate documentation, the Board of Directors concluded that all examined documents were accurate, unanimously approving them on February 8, 2010.

All of the mentioned documents, together with the Report of Independent Auditors, the Opinion of the Fiscal Council and the Summary of the Audit Committee Report, were sent to the regulatory bodies and posted on the Investor Relations website (www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri) on February 9, 2010, and also published in the Official Gazette (Diário Oficial) of the State of São Paulo and the newspaper Valor Econômico on March 12, 2010.


 
b.
Assingment of Net Income for 2009.

We propose that the net income for the year reported in the financial statements at December 31, 2009, in the amount of R$ 7,706,906,786.53, added to R$ 1,642,069,000.00 related to the realization of realizable profit reserve set up on December 31, 2008, is allocated as follows: (a) R$ 385,345,339.33 to the Legal Reserve; (b) R$ 4,986,193,632.73 to statutory reserve, of which R$ 1,325,360,862.84 to the Reserve for Dividend Equalization, R$ 1,464,333,107.76 to the Reserve for Working Capital and R$ 2,196,499,622.13 to the Reserve for Capital Increase in Investees; and (c) R$ 3,977,436,814.47 to the payment of dividends and interest on stockholders’equity, included in the mandatory dividend amount, pursuant to Article 9, of Law No. 9,249/95.

We inform that all presented information, except when otherwise indicated, refers to individual data of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

We also point out that the amounts mentioned in item (c) have already been declared by the Board of Directors and paid to stockholders.

We made monthly dividend payment, based on the stockholding position on the last day of the prior month, on the first business day of the subsequent month, as well as additional payments (semi-annually), for which the Board of Directors defines the base date for the stockholding position and payment date. Regarding the semi-annual payments, management verifies the existing earnings, defines the amount of mandatory dividends that should be distributed, calculates the monthly amount already declared, and, finally, estimates the balance payable of mandatory minimum dividend. Such amount is declared as “complementary” dividend in addition to those dividends paid monthly. By resolution of the Board of Directors, interest on stockholders’ equity can be paid, being understood that such interest on stockholders’ equity (paid or provided for) composes the amount of mandatory dividend, as provided for in Article 9, paragraph 7 of Law No. 9,249/95.

For further information, see the following Items, which were prepared in compliance with the requirements of Attachment 9-1-II of CVM Instruction No. 481/09.

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

13.1 Describe the policy or practice for the compensation of the board of directors, statutory and non- board of statutory officers, fiscal council, statutory committees and audit, risk, financial and compensation committees, addressing the following aspects:

In 2009, in view of the merger between Itaú and Unibanco Conglomerates in November 2008, studies for the unification of the compensation policies adopted by both organizations were conducted, with the purpose of taking advantage of the best practices adopted to that time. The information below reflects such studies, although they may be more detailed in 2010.
 
50

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
It is important to emphasize that the Issuer does not have non-statutory directors.

a. Objectives of the compensation policy or practice

The objective of the Issuer’s compensation policy is to attract, reward, retain and stimulate the management in the conduction of the Issuer’s business, enabling the Issuer to achieve sustainable results. The Issuer thus believes that said policy strengthens and creates better conditions for the development of the company, as well as for its management and employees, always in line with the stockholders’ interests.

At the time the Issuers’ compensation policy is established, values aligned with those adopted by the market and with the Company’s strategy, as well as the effective risk management over the time are taken in consideration. The governance structure of compensation comprises clear and transparent processes.

In order to achieve the objectives mentioned above, the Issuer created a body named Personnel Committee, subordinated to the Board of Directors, which main responsibilities are: (i) to propose the compensation principles and models of the Issuer, guiding and inspiring the behavior in the organization; (ii) to propose the total compensation limits for management and other employees of the Issuer; (iii) to propose a compensation package for the Chief Executive Officer to be approved by the Board of Directors ; (iv) to evaluate and approve compensation packages, proposed by the Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice-Presidents and Executive Directors of the Issuer, including fixed and variable fees, benefits and long-term incentives (v) to approve the granting of stock options of the Issuer (making institutional decisions within the scope of stock option plans sponsored by the Issuer); and (vi) to ensure that the Board of Directors is informed on any material fact related to compensation in all salary levels of the companies which are part of Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate. 

In addition to the Personnel Committee, the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee was established, which also reports to the Board of Directors and whose main responsibility is to monitor the Issuer’s governance, especially regarding topics related to the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Appointments and Governance Committee is responsible for the process for assessing the performance of the Board of Directors, and it should (i) recommend processes for assessment of the Board of the Directors, the members and Chairman of the Board, Committees and Chief Executive Officer; and (ii) to provide methodological and procedural support to the assessment of the Board of Directors, the members and Chairman of the Board, Committees and Chief Executive Officer.  It is also incumbent upon said Committee to propose the division, among the members of the Board of Directors, of the aggregate fixed compensation established by the Annual Stockholders Meeting.

Regarding the benefit policy, noteworthy are the benefits focused on health (health and dental care plan) and private pension plan.

b. Compensation composition, indicating:

i. Description of the compensation elements and the objectives of each one of them

Board of Directors

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer is composed of (i) monthly fixed fees; (ii) long-term variable compensation (stock option plan); and (iii) benefit plan. The maximum compensation amounts are defined at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting and based on the limits imposed by the Stock Option Plan, taking into consideration that the division of the amounts among the members is carried out according to the proposal of the Appointments and Corporate Governance Committee, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.
 
51

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
The Issuer favors the long-term variable compensation, which corresponds to a significant portion of the total compensation paid to the members of the Board of Directors. In this sense, the stock option plan, in addition to attracting, motivating and integrating the management in the process of developing the institution in the medium and long-terms, offers them the opportunity to take part in the appreciation that their work and dedication brought to the stocks of the Issuer. Additionally, said plan aligns the interests of the management with those of the Issuer’s stockholders, as the same risks and earnings provided by the appreciation of its stocks are shared.

In the event the member of the Board of Directors of the issuer is also part of the Board of Officers of the Issuer or of its controlled companies, her/his compensation will be subject to the policy of the area in which she/he is a director.

Board of Officers

The annual compensation of the members of the Board of Officers is composed of (i) monthly fixed fees; (ii) short-term variable compensation (bonus, on an annual basis); and (iii) long-term variable compensation (stock option plan); and (iv) benefit plan. The maximum compensation amounts are defined at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, based on the limits imposed by Article 152 of Law No. 6,404/76 and by the Stock Option Plan.

The Issuer favors the short and long-term variable compensation, which correspond to the biggest portion of total compensation paid to the members of the Board of Officers. The periodicity of bonus is annual (with a semi-annual advance) and its purpose is the reward the contribution of each director for the result achieved by the Issuer in a certain year.

The main purpose of the stock option plan of the Issuer is to attract, motivate and integrate the executives and employees in the process of developing the institution in the medium and long-terms, offering them the opportunity to take part in the appreciation that their work and dedication brought to the stocks of the Issuer. Additionally, said plan aligns the interests of the management with those of the Issuer’s stockholders, as the same risks and earnings provided by the appreciation of its stocks are shared.

Fiscal Council

The total annual compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council is established at the annual stockholders’ meeting, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the legislation, such compensation cannot be lower, for each acting member, to 10% of the fixed compensation assigned to each director (i.e., not including benefits, representation allowances and bonus assigned to directors). Thus, the members of the Fiscal Council receive only a monthly fixed compensation and they are not eligible for the benefit policy.

Audit Committee

The compensation of the members of the Audit Committee of the Issuer is composed of (i) monthly fixed fees; and (ii) benefit plan.

For the members of the Audit Committee who are also part of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the compensation policy of the Board of Directors is applied.

Committees

The members of the other statutory or non-statutory committees of the Issuer are compensated according to their duties in the executive bodies or areas in which they work, and they do not receive a specific compensation for belonging to said committees.
 
52

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
ii. The proportion of each element in total compensation

For the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the fixed, long-term variable compensation and benefits in 2009 corresponded to 48%, 50% and 2%, respectively, of total compensation.

For the Board of Officers of the Issuer, the fixed, short and long-term variable compensation and benefits in 2009 corresponded to 8%, 60%, 28% and 4% respectively, of total compensation.

For the Audit Committee of the Issuer, the fixed compensation and benefits in 2009 corresponded to 97% and 3%, respectively, of total compensation.

Regarding the Fiscal Council, the fixed compensation of its members corresponds to 100% of total compensation.

It should be noted that the elements of total compensation varies according to the difference of behavior of each portion of compensation: On the one hand, the stability of fixed compensation and benefits, and on the other hand, the variable compensation which is influenced by the individual performance, Issuer’s result and appreciation of shares.


iii. Calculation and adjustment methodology for each of the compensation elements

Monthly fixed fees

Monthly fixed fees are agreed with management and are based on internal equality, providing mobility of management across the several businesses of the Issuer.

Short-term variable compensation (annual bonus)

Short-term variable compensation (annual bonus) takes into consideration the influence of two factors on the target annual compensation: (a) the Issuer’s results of operations; and (b) management member performance.

Long-term variable compensation (stock option plan of the Issuer)

Long-term variable compensation (stock option plan of the Issuer) takes into consideration the duty performed by the management member and, for officers, the amount received as short-term variable compensation.

Benefit plan

Benefit plan is compatible with the market practices, taking into consideration that the main benefits are health care and private pension plans.

iv. Reasons that justify the elements of compensation

The Issuer favors variable compensation in short and long terms, which correspond to the largest portion of the total compensation paid to management. Such practice aims at aligning the risk management in the short, medium and long terms, in addition to providing benefits to management in the same proportion that their performance benefits the Issuer and its stockholders.

53

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 

c. Main performance indicators that are taken into consideration in determining each compensation element

The short and long term variable compensation (bonus and stock option plan of the Issuer) represents a significant portion of total compensation received by management and is greatly impacted by performance indicators. The first performance indicator to be taken into consideration when setting the amount of such portions is the Issuer’s earnings. Then, for officers, the individual performance is assessed taking into consideration financial, process, client satisfaction and people management indicators, in addition to indicators for cross-goals in relation to the other areas of the Issuer.

Monthly fixed fees and benefit plan represent the smallest portion of total compensation received by management and are not impacted by performance indicators.

d. How the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators

As mentioned above, a significant portion of the total compensation of management is provided through variable compensation, which is considerably impacted by performance indicators. Therefore, the better the indicators, the higher the compensation and vice versa.

e. How the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the company’s short-, medium- and long-term interests

As mentioned in item “c” above, the Issuer favors variable compensation in the short and long terms, which correspond to a significant portion of the total compensation paid to management. Such practice aims at aligning the risk management in the short, medium and long terms, in addition to providing benefits to management in the same proportion that their performance benefits the Issuer and its stockholders.

Taking into consideration that the compensation of management is impacted by the results of the Issuer, including the risks that it takes, we believe that the compensation policy causes the management interests to be aligned with those of the Company.

f. Existence of compensation supported by direct or indirect subsidiaries or parent companies:

The compensation of many members of the Board of Directors and Board of Officers is provided by controlled companies (see subitem 13.15), taking into consideration that the amounts indicated in item 13 already include the compensation paid by the Issuer and its subsidiaries, controlled or controlling companies.

g. Existence of any compensation or benefit related to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the disposal of the issuer’s stockholding control

Currently, there is not – neither is provided for in the Issuer’s compensation policy - any compensation or benefit tied to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the disposal of the issuer’s stockholding control.

13.2 With respect to the compensation of the board of directors, board of statutory officers, and fiscal council recognized in the income or loss for the past year and to that determined for the current year, please prepare a table containing:

          In 2009, at annual stockholders’ meeting, the aggregate compensation to be paid to the members of the Board of Directors was approved in the amount of R$ 20 million, whereas the compensation to be paid to members of the Board of Officers was approved in the amount of R$ 80 million.

13.4 With respect to the plan on stock-based compensation for the board of directors and board of statutory officers in effect in the last year and determined for the current year, please describe:

a) General terms and conditions

We have been one of the first Brazilian companies to compensate executives with stock options, a practice that we have been adopting since 1995. The current Stock Option Plan of the Issuer (“Plan”) was approved at the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on November 1, 2002, being extended to the entire Itaú Unibanco Conglomerate, including the companies controlled by the Issuer.  

According to the Plan’s provisions, the Issuer may grant stock options to its directors and members of Board of Directors, and on extraordinary basis to the management of the controlled companies (“management”) or to eligible employees and controlled companies (“employees”) (“management and employees, collectively, “beneficiaries”). The rules and operational procedures of the Plan are established by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Issuer (“Committee”).  

It should be noted that the Itaú and Unibanco conglomerates had programs for share-based payment before the merger on November 28, 2008. At the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on April 24, 2009, the mechanism for granting bonus options (see item “I” below), which already existed in the Stock Option Plan of Unibanco (“Unibanco Plan”) was included in the Issuer’s Plan. The mechanism for granting simple options in its turn remained unchanged.  
 
57

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
 
Taking into consideration it is no longer possible to grant options under Unibanco Plan, all information disclosed on this item 13.4 refers only to the Plan provisions. However, it should be noted that, in relation to the options granted under Unibanco Plan, the provisions set out therein are applicable. Moreover, we point out that in the above-mentioned meeting it was approved the assumption of the rights and obligations of the Unibanco Plan by the Issuer. For such reason, the information disclosed in items 13.6, 13.7 and 13.8 refers to the total amount of options granted, including those originally granted under Unibanco Plan.

At the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting of the Issuer that will be held on April 26, 2010 (“Meeting”), small amendments to the Plan will be decided, as detailed in the items below. The Plan is available on CVM and Issuer’s websites (www.itau-unibanco.com).

b) Main objectives of the plan

The Plan’s main objective is to attract, motivate and integrate the executives and employees in the process of developing the institution in the medium and long-terms, offering them the opportunity to take part in the appreciation that their work and dedication bring to the stocks of the Issuer.

c) How the plan contributes to these objectives

Taking into consideration that a portion of the variable compensation of Beneficiaries is through stock options, the Beneficiaries are encouraged to contribute to the good performance of the Issuer. With this, the institution attains the objective defined in item “b” of this item, and Beneficiaries take part in the appreciation of shares comprising the capital of the Issuer.

One of the changes to the Plan that will be decided on the Meeting allows the employees of the Issuer and of the controlled companies  to be included in the beneficiaries of the Plan. We point out that currently the employees of the Issuer and its controlled companies could only be benefited in extraordinary cases. Therefore, the target of the Plan is expected to increase, especially considering that employees with managerial function or equivalent or employees whose activities impact  on risk exposure may receive a portion of their compensation in stock options.

d) How the plan becomes part of the issuer’s compensation policy

The Plan is in compliance with the principles of the Issuer’s compensation policy, taking into consideration that (i) a portion of the variable compensation of its Beneficiaries is through the stock option; (ii) it is an instrument that stimulates individual development and commitment; and (iii) it is an instrument for retaining Beneficiaries (the benefit from the exercise of options is in the long term).


e) How the plan is aligned with short-, medium- and long-term interests of management and the issuer

The Plan is aligned with the interests of the Company and of its Management, since (i) it stimulates high level executives to remain in the Company; (ii) it stimulates the individual performance and commitment of Beneficiaries through the results of the institution; and (iii) provides the opportunity to Beneficiaries to become stockholders of the Issuer, under the terms and conditions established in the Plan

f) Maximum number of shares

The number of options to be granted is subject to the limits imposed by the Plan (see item “g” above). In addition, the shares purchased by Beneficiaries through the exercise of options may be subject to restrictions related to their sale (holding period).
 
58

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
g) Maximum number of options to be granted

The total number of options to be granted in each year shall not exceed the limit of zero point five per cent (0.5%) of total shares of the Issuer that the majority and minority stockholders hold at the base date of the year-end balance sheet, taking into consideration that in the event that in a certain year the number of granted options is inferior to the limit of zero point five per cent (0.5%) of total shares, the diference may be added in any of each  seven (7) subsequent years.

In addition, the Committee shall establish the total number of options to be granted in relation to each year, being able to segment the total lot in series and define the characteristics of each series.

h) Conditions for the purchase of shares

The shares are purchased within the exercise period, as long as the vesting period is terminated (see subitem “j” below), upon the payment of the strike price (see subitem “i” below). In addition, options are cancelled in certain situations, even prior to the vesting period be ended (see subitem “n” below), such as termination of relationship (statutory or employment) between the Beneficiary and the Issuer or its controlled companies.

i) Criteria for setting purchase or strike price

The strike price shall be set by the Committee when the option is granted and may be based in one of the following parameters:

In case of simple options: to set the strike price of options, the Committee shall consider the average price of preferred shares of the Issuer at the trading sessions of BM&FBOVESPA S.A. Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange) in the minimum period of one month and maximum of three months prior to the issuance date of the options, at the discretion of the Committee, and a positive or negative adjustment of up to 20%. The prices so established shall be adjusted up to the month prior to the option exercise by the IGP-M, or in its absence, by the index stipulated by the Committee, and they shall be paid in a term equal to that in effect for settlement of the transactions at BM&FBOVESPA S.A. Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros.

In case of bonus options: for those Beneficiaries who had, at the Committee’s discretion and upon the use of performance and leadership assessment tools, outstanding performance and potential, the Committee may offer options which strike price is paid through the performance of a positive covenant, supported by the beneficiary’s obligation to invest, in the Issuer’s shares, 20% of the net bonus received in relation to prior year, and keep the ownership of these shares unchanged and without any type of liens from the option granting date until the option exercise date.

Also in the case of bonus options, amendments to the Plan will be proposed to be decided on the Meeting. Such amendments will allow that a portion or the full net amount of bonus of Beneficiaries may be invested. Thus the Issuer’s objectives that the Beneficiaries contribute to the better performance of the Company are more attainable while they participate in the appreciation of the shares comprising the capital of the Issuer.

j) Criteria for defining the exercise period

The options can only be exercised after the vesting period, other than the blackout periods established by the Committee.

The vesting period of each series shall be defined by the Committee at the time of granting, which can vary between YI +1 year and YI + 5 years, taking into consideration that YI is the calendar year of the
 
59

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
granting, so that the vesting period always ends on the last day of the last calendar year of this period. The vesting period shall be terminated in the following events:
 


 
(i)
Death of the owner of options;

 
(ii)
Leave of Management Member because she/he was not reelected or, in the case of employees that leave the Company, after the age of 55 (fifty five) years; and

 
(iii)
Management Member not reinstated to the position of officer, but elected or reelected to the Board of Directors of the Issuer and/or controlled companies, regarding options already granted but not yet exercised.

One of the amendments to the Plan that is proposed to be decided on the Stockholders’ Meeting is the extension of the maximum vesting period, which will be seven years, in order to also extent the total period of the program. In addition, a proposal on vesting period will be put forward for counting it from the option granting date, so that it does not necessarily end on the last business day of the calendar year of the established period. With this proposal, the Company aims at simplifying the mechanism for granting stock options.


k) Type of option settlement

There are two types of option exercise price settlement:

In the case of simple options: at the time that an option is exercised, the Beneficiary must pay to the Issuer the exercise price, in cash, within three business days; and

In the case of bonus options: confirmation of the performance of positive covenants mentioned in subitem “e” of this item.

l) Restriction on the transfer of shares

After the exercise of options, the owner of shares can freely dispose of half of the shares she/he receives upon the exercise of options, the other half not being available for the period of two (2) years counted from the option exercise date. Such unavailability shall not be applied in case of receipt of shares upon exercise of option in the last six-months of the effective period and in the events mentioned in subitem “n” of this item.

In the Meeting the proposal for making the above rule more flexible will be put forward, establishing that the shares received by the Beneficiaries may be subject to additional restrictions, as may be resolved by the Committee. Thus the percentage of shares that shall remain unavailable, as well as the period of such unavailability may be defined by the Committee in view of the program applicable to each Beneficiary.

m) Criteria and events that, when verified, will cause the suspension, amendment or termination of the plan

The Committee may suspend the exercise of options to organize subscription works. In addition, the Plan may only be amended or terminated upon proposal from the Committee, after approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting.
 
60

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
One of the amendments proposed to this document aims at establishing the suspension of the Plan under justifiable circumstances, such as large market fluctuation or legal regulatory restrictions.

n) Effects of the management member’s leave from the issuer’s bodies on their rights provided for in the plan on stock-based compensation

The options of Management that resign or are dismissed from the Issuer and/or its controlled companies shall have their effective and vesting periods terminated.

In case the Management Member leaves because she/he was not reelected, the options owned by the beneficiary (i) can be exercised until the end of the effective period which was established by the Committee or until the end of a three (3) year period, counted from the non-reelection date, whichever expires first, and (ii) will have their vesting periods terminated. In addition, the unavailability of half of shares, as established in the Plan, will not be applied in relation to the shares subscribed by such Management Member and the shares encumbered with unavailability will be released.

In the event of death of the option owner or before the Management member leaves, the successors may exercise them until the end of the effective period which was established by the Committee or until the end of the three (3) year period, counted from the death certificate date, whichever expires first, the vesting period of options being terminated. In addition, the unavailability of half of shares, as established in the Plan, will not be applied in relation to the shares received by such Management Member successors and the shares encumbered with unavailability will be released.

Finally, in the event the death occurs after the Management Member not reelected leaves, her/his successors may exercise the options during the remaining effective period of the beneficiary.

The Stockholder’s Meeting to be held on April 26 will decide on the proposed amendment to the Plan in order to allow the Committee to in exceptional situations and observed the criteria established in the internal regulations, determine the non extinction of the bonus options in the event set forth in the first paragraph above. The Committee may only use this faculty if the beneficiaries of the options and the company reach an understanding, by agreement, regarding the conditions of the his leave with, at least, six (6) months in advance.

13.5. Inform the number of shares or quotas directly or indirectly held in Brazil and abroad and other securities convertible into shares or quotas issued by the issuer, its direct or indirect parent companies, subsidiaries or companies under common control, by members of the board of directors, the board of statutory officers, or fiscal council, grouped per body at the end of the previous year

13.9. Brief description of the information necessary for understanding the data disclosed in items 13.6 to 13.8, such as an explanation of the pricing model for share and option value, indicating, at least:

a) Pricing model

Binomial pricing model: presupposes that there are two possible paths in the performance of asset prices – upward and downward. Then a tree with price history is designed in order to determine the share value on a future date, based on the volatility defined and time interval between the tree steps from pricing to maturity.

The pricing process of this model is carried out adopting the Backward Induction method, from the knots of the maturity to the starting point.

b) Data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighed average price of shares, exercise price, volatility expected, term of the option, dividends expected and risk-free interest rate

 
·
Price of the underlying asset: The share price of Itaú Unibanco Holding (ITUB4) used for calculation is the closing price at BOVESPA on the calculation base date;
 
 
·
Exercise price: as exercise price of the option, the exercise price previously agreed-upon at the option issue is adopted, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;
 
 
·
Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the history of the last 84 monthly returns of closing prices of the ITUB4 share, released by Bovespa, adjusted by the IGP-M variation;
 
 
·
Dividend rate: is the average annual return rate in the last three years of Paid Dividends, plus Interest on Capital of the ITUB4 share;
 
65

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
 
·
Risk-Free Interest Rate: the applied risk-free rate is the IGP-M coupon at the expiration date of the option plan;
 
 
·
Option term: the term of the option is set at the time of the granting; and
 
 
·
Option vesting period: the vesting period of the option is set at the time of the granting.
 

c) Method used and assumptions made to absorb the expected early exercise effects

The stock option plan of the Issuer provides for a vesting period for each granted series, from the time the option is granted to the end of the vesting period, which is a period when the exercise of options is not allowed. The vesting period is set at the time when the series of options is granted.  From the end of the vesting period, the option can be exercised at any time until the end of the agreement. The option pricing using the binomial tree took into consideration the vesting period for the exercise of options.

d) Method to determine expected volatility

Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the history of the last 84 monthly returns of closing prices of the ITUB4 share, adjusted by the IGP-M variation.

e) If any other characteristic of the options was included in its fair value measurement

The historical series is adjusted by splits, stock dividends and reverse splits.

Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting to be held at 3:40 p.m. – matters to be resolved

a.          Amend the Bylaws in order to improve its wording.

The proposed amendments to the Bylaws aims at broadening its scope and clarity. The copy of the Bylaws containing the proposed amendments highlighted is in Attachment IV. According to the provisions of Article 11 of CVM Instruction No.. 481/09, the report containing the details on origin and justification of each of the proposed amendments, as well as their legal and economic effects is presented below.

1.
Amendment to the wording of item 7.1., excluding the provision requiring that all members of the Audit Committee shall be necessarily members of the Board of Directors or experts in accounting and audit.

Origin and justification of proposed amendments: the Company has an Audit Committee, governed by the rules issued by the National Monetary Council (CMN Resolution No. 3,198/04 and further amendments - “CMN Resolution 3,198/04”). Such rules set out that at least one member of the audit committee shall be considered a financial expert. Our current Bylaws establish that all members of the Audit Committee shall be necessarily members of the Board of Directors or experts in accounting and audit. By making the rule set out in the Bylaws more flexible, making it similar to the requirement of the National Monetary Council, the Company allows the participation in the Audit Committee of professionals of different expertises, who can contribute with such knowledge to the continuous improvement of the body operations.

Legal and economic effects of proposed amendments: The legal effect of the proposed amendment shall be the possibility of having people with other knowledge other than accounting and audit, taking part of the Audit Committee. There are no quantifiable economic effects of this proposal.

2.
Inclusion in item 7.3.1. of the possibility set out in Article 13, paragraph 2, of CMN Resolution No. 3,198/04 of members of the audit committee who are also members of the Board of Directors to opt for receiving their compensation related to the membership of the Board of Directors.

Origin and justification of proposed amendments: Amendment to include in the wording of the Bylaws the possibility introduced by Article  13, paragraph 2, of CMN Resolution No. 3,198/04, according to which “in case the member of the audit committee of the institution is also a member of the board of directors of the institution or its related companies, in case the institutions mentioned in item I of heading, or its board of officers, in case the institution mentioned in item II of heading, the option for the compensation related to one of the positions is given”.

Legal and economic effects of proposed amendments: The legal effect of the proposed inclusion is to include the possibility already provided in CMN Resolution 3,198/04. There is no economic effect of this proposal.

3.
Amendment of item 7.2. and Article 12 in order to standardize the term “financial statements”.

Origin and justification of proposed amendments: The amendments have the purpose of standardizing the reference to the expression “financial statements” adopted in the Bylaws.
 
68

 
 
A Publicly Held Company
 
Legal and economic effects of proposed amendments: There is no legal or economic effects of this proposal.

4.
Inclusion of item 9.2. in order to clarify the Bylaws the possibility that the Company is represented by two attorneys-in-fact.

Origin and justification of proposed amendments: the inclusion of provision to make clear about the possibility of the Company to be represented by two attorneys-in-fact aims at eliminating any doubt about this possibility.

Legal and economic effects of proposed amendments: The confer of proxies has always been performed under the management acts heading. Such inclusion has the only purpose of clarifying a possibility that the Company already had. Thefore, there is no legal or economic effects of this proposal.

In case the matters presented in this document are approved, it shall be necessary to renumber the affected provisions of the Bylaws and amendment of possible cross-references, as the case may be, taking into consideration the above proposals.
