ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

We, Suzano S. A., were incorporated as a corporation on December 8, 1987 under the laws of Brazil. We have the legal status of a sociedade por ações, or a stock corporation, under the Brazilian Corporation Law. Our principal place of business is located at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 1355, 7th floor, São Paulo, SP, 01452-919, Brazil (telephone: +55 11 3503-9000). Our shares are traded on the special listing segment of the B3, which provides for the highest level of corporate governance in the Brazilian market, and our ADSs are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Our activities began in 1924, when Leon Feffer, our founder, first entered the paper business to resell national and imported paper used for business cards, writing pads and stationery. In the late 1930s, with the purchase of its first machine, the Suzano Group began to produce its own paper. In the 1950s, Companhia Suzano de Papel e Celulose (“ Companhia Suzano”) was formed, becoming what we believe to be the first global industrial-scale producer of eucalyptus pulp. In the mid-1960s, Companhia Suzano became the first paper producer to use 100% eucalyptus pulp in the production of printing and writing paper, according to “ The History of the Pulp and Paper Industry in Brazil” (“A História da Indústria de Celulose e Papel no Brasil”), published by the Brazilian Technical Association of Paper and Pulp (Associação Brasileira Técnica de Papel e Celulose), or the ABTCP, in 2004. Today, we believe we are the world’s largest producer of market pulp, with an aggregate installed capacity of 13.4 million metric tons of eucalyptus pulp per year and a broad and diversified forest base.

In 1987 Companhia Suzano incorporated Bahia Sul S. A. (“ Bahia Sul”), a joint venture between Companhia Suzano and Vale S. A. In 1992, we were granted registration as a publicly traded company by CVM. In early 2001, Companhia Suzano acquired all shares of Bahia Sul previously
