(“The Brazilian

of the right to withdraw, shareholders holding 343,139 common shares of the
Company have regularly formalized their respective dissidences with respect to
the acquisition of Usina Benálcool S.A. (“Acquisition”),

As was

with the depositary institution of the Company’s shares, Banco Itaú S.A., which
shall then proceed to, directly by means of the custody agent, proportionately

by Cosan S.A Ind e Com;

All other non-resident investors, investment funds and clubs with investment
policies and policies for the exercise of voting in shareholder’s meetings that,
