4.5.3.  In view of the fact that the quantity of Debentures initially offered was increased by 150,000 (one hundred fifty thousand) Supplementary Debentures and 200,000 (two hundred thousand) Additional Debentures, the net funds obtained by the Issuer from the paying-up of those Debentures that exceeded the amount necessary for full redemption of the commercial promissory notes of the Company’s 4th Issue will be used to strengthen the Company’s working capital.

 

4.6. Bookbuilding Procedure (Collection of Investment Intentions)

 

4.6.1. The Managers organized a procedure of collection of investments intentions, in accordance with Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 23, and Article 44 of CVM Instruction 400, without receipt of reservations, without minimum or maximum lots, for checking, with investors, of the demand for the Debentures at different levels of interest rates (“the Bookbuilding Procedure”), so as to decide the issuance of each one of the series of the Issue and, issuance of the Debentures of the First Series, of the Debentures of the Second Series and/or of the Debentures of the Third Series having been confirmed, to decide, in common agreement with the Issuer:  (i) the quantity of Debentures to be allocated to each series of the Issue under Item 3.7.1.1 of the Issue Deed; (ii) the final rate of the Remuneratory Interest of the First Series under Item 4.2.2 of the Issue Deed; (iii) the final rate of the Remuneratory Interest of the Second Series under Item 4.3.2 of the Issue Deed; and (iv) the final rate of the Remuneratory Interest of the Third Series under Item 4.3.3 of the Issue Deed.

 

4.6.2. The number of Debentures allocated to each series of the Issue was decided in accordance with the demand for the Debentures from investors, as ascertained in the Bookbuilding Procedure, and the Debentures were allocated between the series of the Issue using the “communicating vessels” system. Under the terms of Item 3.6.7 of the Issue Deed, there was the possibility of partial distribution of the Debentures.

 

4.6.3 At the end of the Bookbuilding Procedure, the Issuer ratified the issuance of the Debentures of the First Series, the Debentures of the Second Series and the Debentures of the Third Series, and also the remuneration and the quantity of Debentures of each one of the series of the Issue, through an amendment to the Issue Deed, which was: (i) filed with Jucemg on March 2, 2012, under Nº ED.000.103-4/001; (ii) registered in the 1st Notaries’ Offices for Registry of Securities and Documents of Belo Horizonte on March 5, 2012, posted in the margin of Nº 01340627, and: (iii) registered at the 2nd Notaries’ Office for Registration of Securities and Documents of Rio de Janeiro on March 7, 2012, posted in the margin of Nº 982230, without the need for a new corporate approval by the Issuer or the holding of a General Meeting of Debenture Holders, in the terms of the Issue Board Meeting.

 

4.6.4. Jointly, some (i) stockholders, controlling stockholders or managers of the Issuer; (ii) controlling stockholders or managers of any of the Managers; (iii) other persons linked to the Offering; or (iv) spouses, personal partners, relations of prior generations, descendants or relations of the same generation up to the second degree, of any of the people referred to in items (i) to (iii) above (jointly, “Related Parties”) took part in the Bookbuilding Procedure.

 

It was found that there was excess of demand greater than 1/3 (one-third) of the Debentures, and placement of Debentures with investors who are Related Parties was not permitted.

 

Investors should note the section “Risk Factors” of the Final Prospectus, specifically the risk factor entitled “Risk Relative to Participation of Related Parties in the Offering)”.

 

4.6.5. As specified in the sole sub-paragraph of Article 55 of CVM Instruction 400, the prohibition on placement specified in Article 55 of CVM Instruction 400 will not apply to the financial institution contracted to act as Market Maker of the Issue, since the right to subscribe and the maximum quantity of securities to be subscribed are published in the section “Information on the Offering — Liquidity Guarantee Contract” on page 76 of the Final Prospectus.

 

Potential investors should be aware that participation in the Bookbuilding Procedure by investors who are considered to be Related Parties may have caused inappropriate formation of the final rate of remuneration of the Debentures and could have an adverse impact on the liquidity of the Debentures in the secondary market.

 

For additional information, potential investors should read the risk factor “Participation in the Offering by investors who are considered to be Related Parties may cause inappropriate formation of the final remuneration rate of the Debentures, and could have an adverse effect on the liquidity of the Debentures in the secondary market” in the section “Risk factors related to the Offering” on page 94 of the Final Prospectus.
