Shareholders of record as of February 22, 2010 will receive two common shares for each common share currently owned. Shares will commence trading on the new basis at the opening of business on February 23, at the Bovespa and by March 4 at the NYSE.

These are merely projections and, as such, are based exclusively on the expectations of management concerning the future of the business and its continued access to capital to fund the Company's business plan. Such forward-looking statements depend, substantially, on changes in market conditions, government regulations, competitive pressures, the performance of the Brazilian economy and the industry, among other factors; therefore, they are subject to change without prior notice.
