The 861,500 common shares not sold at the auction held on 06/17/05 shall be offered at another auction, to be held on 06/22/2005, for the reference price of R$ 20.97 per common share, which is the same price of the session held on June 6, 15 and 17 of 2005, the result thereof should be consequently disclosed by the Company.
Having in consideration that not all the shares offered at the auction above were sold, the proceeds from the sale of the common and preferred shares traded at the referred auction will only be made available to the holders of fractional shares after the sale of the totality of the Company's shares that remained unsold after such auction, as follows:
(a) The Shareholders whose shares are in custody with Banco ABN Amro Real S.A. shall appear to any branch of said institution in order to receive the amounts to which they are entitled;
(b) The amount corresponding to the Shareholders having entered custody agreements with the CBLC – Brazilian Settlement and Custody Company, shall be directly credited to that company, which will transfer the respective amounts to the Shareholders through the Custody Agents; and
(c) For those Shareholders whose Shares are blocked or without updated record, the amount to which they are entitled shall be retained by the Company and made available to the respective Shareholder for payment, which shall be released exclusively against presentation of document evidencing unblocking of the shares and/or identification, as the case may be, at any ABN Amro Real S.A. branch, the institution acting as trustee of the book-entry shares issued by the Company .
