2 – Dividends
In compliance with the provisions set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, in art. 202 of the LSA, and based on the 2010 Net Profit, this management hereby proposes the distribution of the overall amount of R$ 50,872 thousand, by way of dividends, to be distributed to the holders of preferred and common shares of the Company, and the shareholders shall be ensured the right to payment of minimum dividends of 25% of the net profit for year [1] , as detailed below:
The form, the record date and the payment date of the dividends, without any interest whatsoever, shall be decided at the Regular and Special Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on April 27, 2011.
[1] Art. 26 of the Company’s Bylaws provides for the following:
ARTICLE 26 – Eventually accumulated losses and the provision for income tax shall be deducted from the net profit, before any profit sharing.
§ 1º - The statutory directors’ and officers’ profit sharing shall be calculated based on the remaining profit ascertained in accordance with this article, up to the maximum legal limit.
§ 2º - The net profit for the year, after the deduction mentioned in the preceding paragraph, shall be allocated as follows:
a) five percent (5%) to the legal reserve, up to the limit of twenty percent (20%) of the paid-up capital stock;
b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the balance of the net profit for the year, after the deduction mentioned in the preceding paragraph and adjusted in conformity with art. 202 of Law no. 6404/76, shall be allocated for payment of the mandatory dividend to all the shareholders;
c) whenever the amount of the mandatory minimum dividend exceeds the realized net profit for the year, the management may propose, and the Shareholders’ Meeting may approve, to allocate the surplus to the unrealized profit reserve, under the terms of article 197 of Law no. 6404/76; and
d) the remaining balance shall be allocated as decided by the Board of Directors, assuming such allocation is approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting and not differently decided by it.

- The amount of dividends per share was calculated considering the record date on December 2.010, therefore, it may be subject to changes until the date of the effective deliberation by the Annual Meeting.
- The per share payment represents the total amount to be distributed after deduction of 15% Withholding Income Tax;
- Amount to be distributed after deduction of 15% Withholding Income Tax levied only on interest on shareholders’ equity.
- The Distribution Ratio represents the percentage of the total base profit to be distributed per share, divided by the total value distributed.
During fiscal year 2007, the Company distributed interim dividends in the amount of R$302,775, being R$ 144,592 (R$ 71.47 per lot of 100 shares) as interest on the own capital, and R$ 158,183 (R$ 78.10 per lot of 100 shares) as dividends. The interim dividends exceed the mandatory minimum dividend in the amount of R$ 63,775. Consequently, there was dividend distribution based on the profit for previous fiscal years, allocated in previous years to the Profit Reserve account, in the amount of R$ 47,674.
Based on its dividend policy then in effect, and on the profit earned, the Company distributed interim dividends in the first (1st) quarter of 2008 in the amount of R$ 36,258 thousand. Due to the accumulated losses in the above referred fiscal year, such dividends were appropriated to the profit reserves for previous fiscal years.
The Company recorded Profits (Losses) per share, as follows
