3.D.50.09 You may be unable to exercise preemptive rights relating to our shares.
 You will not be able to exercise preemptive rights relating to the shares underlying your ADSs unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to those rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. Similarly, we may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders.

We are not obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the shares or other securities relating to these rights, and we cannot assure you that we will file any such registration statement.

You may also be unable to participate in rights offerings by us, and your holdings may be diluted as a result.

Thereafter, you must obtain your own registration certificate in accordance with the rules of the Central Bank of Brazil, in order to obtain and remit U.S. dollars abroad after the disposal of the shares or the receipt of distributions relating to the
