RESULT
OF CAPITAL INCREASE BY PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTION
São
Paulo, January 23, 2008
–Cosan S.A.
Indústria e Comércio (“COSAN”
or
“Company”)
hereby
announces the result of
the capital increase by private subscription decided at the
Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (“ESM”) held on December 5, 2007, which
approved the issue of 82,700,000 registered, book-entry common shares with
no
par value, at the issue price of R$ 21.00 (twenty-one reais), increasing the
Company’s capital stock to R$ 1,736,700,000.00 (one billion seven hundred
thirty-six million seven hundred thousand reais).
COSAN
informs that a substantial portion
of its shareholders subscribed
to its
capital increase, having
the minority shareholders
contributed with 64.1% of
their subscription rights, totaling 26,092,604 shares,
which represented R$
547,944,684.00 for the
Company. Cosan Limited
subscribed to
56,607,396 shares, amounting to R$
1,188,755,316.00.
Cosan
Limited,
controlling
shareholder, had
expressed
its intention
to
subscribe to
the unsubscribed
shares from
the capital
increase
at the ESM,
investing in COSAN part
of the funds
obtained
from its IPO in August last year. Minority
shareholders who showed
interest in the subscription of the unsubscribed shares
could increase their
interest
in
the Company’s capital, together
with
Cosan
Limited. We
would like to take this
opportunity to thank our minority shareholders for once again putting their
trust in our Company.
As
a result of the capital
increase and the
subscription of unsold shares, the Company informs that
