(the “Company”);

 

b)

highlighting that the reduction referred to above occurred due to the partial redemption and subsequent transfer of assets to the former quotaholder of Caravelas Equity Investment Fund, enrolled under corporate taxpayer No. 19.445.247/0001-40 (Fundo de Investimento em Ações Caravelas, the “Caravelas FIA”), which reduced interests from 50,219,535 (fifty million two hundred nineteen thousand five hundred thirty-five) OIBR3, representing 7.52% (seven and fifty-two hundredths percent), to 21,625,834 (twenty-one million six hundred twenty-five thousand eight hundred thirty-four) OIBR3, representing approximately 3.24% (three and twenty-four hundredths percent) of the total number of OIBR3 issued by the Company; and

 

c)

further highlighting that: (i) this reduction in shareholding interests did not occur in order to alter the ownership or management structure of the Company; (ii) this reduction in shareholding interests did not occur in order to reach a specific shareholding interest; and (iii) BTG Pactual AM states that it does not hold other securities or derivate financial instruments in connection with such shares, whether to be settled physically or financially, or any other agreement or instrument regulating the exercise of voting rights or the purchase and sale of securities issued by the Company.
