1. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement executed on June 7, 2009 between on the one hand, Mandala and Keene Investment Corporation S.A., Parvest Participação e Administração Ltda., Tamarac Investment, LLC, Blue Springs Holdings, LLC, Linnetsong Investments Ltd., LLC and Phillimore Holdings LLC (the GUSAs Controlling Shareholders), on the other hand and Wilkes Participações S.A.(Wilkes) and CBD as intervening parties, as subsequently amended (the Agreement), the purchase price of shares issued by GUSA then held by GUSAs Controlling Shareholders was R$9.4813 per share, R$4.2942 paid in cash and R$5.871 to be paid by installments in the 4th anniversary of the operation closing date, adjusted according to the CDI variation, in the period between the 90th day after the execution date of the Agreement and the effective date of payment, pro rata temporis (the Credit).
1.1. In addition, according to the Agreement, Mandala had to offer to GUSAs minority shareholders (the GUSAs Minority Shareholders) the right to adhere to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, by selling their shares to Mandala for a price corresponding to 80% of the purchase price per share paid to GUSAs Controlling Shareholders, in the amount of R$7.5850 per share, R$3.4353 were paid in cash and R$4.1497 will be paid by installments, and this installment also referred to as Credit.
2. The Agreement also sets forth that the Board of Directors of CBD would call a General Shareholders Meeting of CBD and its agenda to include the approval of the Companys capital stock increase up to R$664,361,840.00, by issuing 16,609,046 non-voting Class B preferred shares (the Class B Shares), subject to a lock-up period (the Lock-Up Period) and the mandatory conversion into the Companys Class A shares, as per schedule below:
(i) 32% of total Class B Shares issued will be converted within five (5) consecutive days, as of the ratification date of capital increase, i.e., September 28, 2009;
(ii) 28% of total Class B Shares issued will be converted on January 7, 2010;
3
(iii) 20% of total Class B Shares issued will be converted on July 7, 2010; and
(iv) 20% of total Class B Shares issued will be converted on January 7, 2011.
3. GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and all GUSAs Minority Shareholders adhering to the Agreement should be required to subscribe Class B Shares, whose preemptive rights would be assigned by Wilkes, as well as eventual unsold Class B Shares resulting from shares not subscribed by CBDs shareholders. Also pursuant to the Agreement, the Class B Shares would be fully paid-up by using the Credit, accrued by 10% once exercised the subscription option of Class B Shares.
4. On July 6, 2009, the General Shareholders Meeting of the Company approved the aforementioned capital stock increase, exclusively by means of the issue of Class B Shares, at R$40.00 per share (the Capital Increase). The Class B shares issued due to the Capital Increase could be subscribed: (i) by CBDs shareholders, by exercising their preemptive rights in the subscription of new Company shares and paid-up in cash, in domestic currency; (ii) by GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and to be paid-up by capitalizing the Credit held thereby; and (iii) by GUSAs Minority Shareholders adhering to the Agreement, these shares also to be paid-up by capitalizing the Credit held thereby.
5. Once expired the terms provided for in the Agreement, one hundred and twenty (120) GUSAs Minority Shareholders opted for adhering to the Agreement, so that to sell their shares issued by GUSA to Mandala. Thus, in view of the aforementioned adhesion, GUSAs Minority Shareholders jointly declared the Credit in the total amount of R$142,517,539.00 to be used in the subscription and payment of Class B Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, GUSAs Controlling Shareholders are holders of Credit, in the amount of R$496,193,966.00.
5.1. Therefore, due to the amount of Credits, GUSAs Minority Shareholders adhering to the Agreement could subscribe 3,562,938 Class B Shares and GUSAs Controlling Shareholders could subscribe 12,404,849 Class B Shares.
5.2. Nevertheless, as the Agreement sets forth, if as a result of the exercise of preemptive right in the subscription of Class B Shares by CBDs shareholders, the amount of Class B Shares issued within the scope of Capital Increase is not sufficient to use the entire Credit held by GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and by GUSAs Minority Shareholders, the portion of Credit not used in the subscription and payment of Class B Shares by GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and GUSAs Minority Shareholders would be paid in cash, in domestic currency, within ten (10) business days as of the ratification of capital increase, by using the amount resulting from the payment of Class B Shares by CBDs shareholders.
6. After elapsing the forty-five (45) day preclusive term for the exercise of preemptive right for the subscription of Class B Shares by CBDs shareholders, as well as the term to distribute unsubscribed Class B shares, as provided for in item b of paragraph 7 of Article 171 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, we verified that 11,935,446 Class B Shares were subscribed by CBDs minority shareholders, so that 4,673,600 Class B Shares remain to be distributed between GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and GUSAs Minority Shareholders adhering to the Agreement.
7. Thus, considering that, as a result of the exercise of preemptive right in the subscription of Class B Shares by CBDs shareholders, the amount of remaining Class B Shares, composed of Wilkes assignments of subscription rights and unsold shares for subscription and payment by GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and GUSAs Minority Shareholders is not sufficient to use the entire Credit held thereby, the Company announces that the remaining 4,673,600 Class B Shares will be distributed between GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and GUSAs Minority Shareholders, proportionally to the Credit held by each one against Mandala, corresponding to 3,630,824 Class B Shares to GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and 1,042,776 Class B Shares to GUSAs Minority Shareholders.
7.1. Therefore, the amount of Credit held by GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and GUSAs Minority Shareholders will be paid as follows:
(i) 29.2689348% in Class B Shares, distributed proportionally to the Credit held by each shareholder against Mandala;
4
(ii) 70.7310652% in domestic currency, proportionally to the Credit held by each shareholder against Mandala, as follows:
a) GUSAs Controlling Shareholders will receive on October 2, 2009 the amount of R$ 350,961,006.40, referring to the portion of Credit not used in the subscription and payment of Class B Shares; and
b) GUSAs Minority Shareholders will receive on October 2, 2009, the amount of R$ 100,806,493.30, referring to the portion of Credit not used in the subscription and payment of Class B Shares.
8. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, except for the first release of Lock-Up Period to occur on September 28, 2009, if on each release date of Class B Shares Lock-Up Period, as per conversion schedule indicated in item 2 above, the market value of Class A Shares, calculated according to the weighted average price by volume at each trading session, at 15 trading sessions of BM&FBOVESPA immediately preceding each date of conversion, is less than the price per Class A Share of forty reais (R$40.00), duly adjusted according to the CDI rate variation, as of June 7, 2009 until the respective release date of Lock-Up Period, Mandala shall pay to GUSAs Controlling Shareholders and GUSAs Minority Shareholders an amount corresponding to said difference, per subscribed Class B Share (the Difference).
9. Finally, we inform that in relation to Class B Shares that will be converted on September 28, 2009, the difference amount is R$3.6927 per Class B Share, duly adjusted according to the CDI variation as of June 7, 2009, as set forth in the Agreement.
