Message from the CEO

Renato Alves Vale: "It is with great satisfaction that we are reporting CCR's 2Q13 results to our shareholders and the market, as well as our employees, users and other stakeholders.

Traffic increased by 6.2% in 2Q13, giving year-to-date growth of 4.1.

Victory in the bid for the VLT Carioca Project in Rio de Janeiro, through the VLT Carioca Consortium, and the acquisition of an additional interest in Curacao International Airport, giving us a 79.8% stake in Curacao Airport Investments, have reinforced our strong commitment to the continued pursuit of sustainable development through improved infrastructure, always prioritizing the creation of value for shareholders.

In line with our qualified growth strategy, CCR signed in August, together with most of the shareholders of STP, a Share Purchase Agreement and Other Covenants with Raizen. When completed, the transaction will allow the entrance of an important strategic partner in the business of electronic payment means.

Once again, CCR has strengthened its commitment to Brazil and its longstanding partnership with state and federal governments in support of the economic and social development of the regions in which it operates, contributing with infrastructure investments and the efficient provision of services."
