Paragraph 1 - With due regard to the other terms of the New Market Listing Regulation of the Bovespa, these Bylaws and the legislation in force, the public offering for the cancellation of registration may also contemplate the exchange for securities of other publicly-held companies, to be accepted at the discretion of the offered party.

Sole Paragraph - The General Meeting of Shareholders has exclusive responsibility for choosing the specialized company that will determine the Company’s economic value, and will choose from among three (3) nominees submitted by the Board of Directors.

The controlling shareholder, or shareholders group holding the control of the Company, must make a public offer to acquire the other shareholders’ shares either if the company’s delisting from the New Market is because of registration of its securities for trades outside the New Market, or because of a corporate reorganization whereby the resulting company does not qualify for trading its securities on the New Market. In both cases, the minimum price of the public offer must be based in the Economic Value determined according to the appraisal report referred to in Article 41 herein.
