1. Transformation of the Controlled Companies into wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In view of the Incorporation of Shares, the Controlled Companies became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to Article 252 of Law 6,404/76. Accordingly, the Incorporation of Shares implied the transfer, to the equity of the Company, through an increase in its capital stock, of the shares of the Controlled Companies held by the other shareholders except the Company. The new shares of the Company issued due to the increase in its capital stock, shall then be delivered to the shareholders of the Controlled Companies, with due regard for the following criteria.

2. Right of withdrawal. The Incorporation of Shares grants the possibility to exercise the right of withdrawal by shareholders of the Companies who disagree with the resolution. Such right may be exercised by the respective shareholders within thirty (30) days after the publication of this notice to shareholders and of the respective minutes of the EGMs, based on the applicable legal foundations (Article 252, Paragraph 1, together with Article 230, both under Law 6,404/76). Pursuant to the provision in Article 137, Paragraph 1 of Law 6,404/76, the said right of withdrawal shall be limited to the shares that are owned by the shareholders enrolled in the Company’s registers on October 28, 2009 (when the Material Fact with the main terms and conditions of the Incorporation of Shares were disclosed), withdrawal rights not being exercisable in relation to shares acquired after this date.

2.1. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, shareholders shall express their will in the period between April 27, 2010 and May 26, 2010, inclusively, in accordance with the following procedures:
