4.6. Bookbuilding Procedure (Collection of Investment Intentions)

 

4.6.1. The Managers organized a procedure of collection of investment intentions, in accordance with Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 23, and Article 44 of CVM Instruction 400, without receipt of reservations, without minimum or maximum lots, for checking, with investors, of the demand for the Debentures at different levels of interest rates (the “Bookbuilding Procedure”), so as to decide the issuance of each one of the series of the Issue and, in the event that issuance of the Debentures of the First Series, of the Debentures of the Second Series and of the Debentures of the Third Series is confirmed, to decide, in common agreement with the Issuer:

 

(i)             the quantity of Debentures to be allocated to each series of the Issue, in accordance with Clause 3.7.1.1 of the Issue Deed;

(ii)          the final rate of the Remuneratory Interest of the First Series, in accordance with Clause 4.2.2 of the Issue Deed;

(iii)       the final rate of the Remuneratory Interest of the Second Series, in accordance with Clause 4.3.2 of the Issue Deed; and

(iv)      the final rate of the Remuneratory Interest of the Third Series, in accordance with Clause 4.3.3 of the Issue Deed;

 

4.6.2. The number of Debentures allocated to each series of the Issue was decided in accordance with the demand for the Debentures from investors, as ascertained in the Bookbuilding Procedure, and the Debentures were allocated between the series of the Issue using the “communicating vessels” system.

 

4.6.3.  At the end of the Bookbuilding Procedure, the Issuer ratified the issuance of the Debentures of the First Series, the Debentures of the Second Series and the Debentures of the Third Series, and also the remuneration and the quantity of Debentures of each one of the series of the Issue, through an amendment to the Issue Deed, without the need for a new corporate approval by the Issuer or the holding of a General Meeting of Debenture Holders, in the terms of the Issue Board Meeting.

 











 

4.6.4. Investors of the target public of the Offering participated in the Bookbuilding Procedure, including

 

(i)             stockholders, controlling stockholders or managers of the Issuer;

(ii)          controlling stockholders or managers of any of the Managers;

(iii)       other persons linked to the Offering; and/or

(iv)      spouses, personal partners, relations of prior generations, descendants or relations of the same generation up to the second degree, of any of the people referred to in items (i) to (iii) above (jointly, “Related Parties”).

 

Since there was an excess of demand greater than 1/3 (one-third) of the Debentures, placement of Debentures with investors who are Related Parties was not permitted, and the investment intentions presented by investors who are Related Parties were automatically canceled, in accordance with Article 55 of CVM Instruction 400.

 

4.6.5.

Potential investors should be aware that participation in the Bookbuilding Procedure by investors who are considered to be Related Parties may have caused inappropriate formation of the final rate of remuneration of the Debentures and could have an adverse impact on the liquidity of the Debentures in the secondary market.

 

For additional information, potential investors should read the risk factor “Participation in the Offering by investors who are considered to be Related Parties may cause inappropriate formation of the final remuneration rate of the Debentures, and could have an adverse effect on the liquidity of the Debentures in the secondary market” in the section “Risk factors related to the Offering” on page 81 of the Final Prospectus.

(ii)        Under Paragraph 2 of Article 14 of CVM Instruction 400, the Issuer increased the quantity of Debentures in relation to the quantity initially offered, without taking into account the Supplementary Debentures, by 20% (twenty per cent), that is to say, by 320,000 (three hundred and twenty thousand) additional Debentures (“Additional Debentures”), without the need for a new application for registry to the CVM.

one hundred sixty three thousand two hundred (163,200) Additional Debentures will be Debentures of the Second Series; and ninety six thousand (96,000) Additional Debentures will be Debentures of the Third Series.

(iii)       that any questions by the investors are able be answered by a person designated by the Managers.

 

The Distribution Plan has been set in the following terms:

 

	
(i)
    	
Subject to   the provisions of CVM Instruction 400, prior to obtaining registry of the   Offering by the CVM, the Managers made the Preliminary Prospectus available   to the public, preceded by publication of the Market Notice, with, however,   no receipt by the Managers of reservations for subscription of Debentures.   The “Roadshow” was carried out as determined by the Managers in common accord   with the Issuer, and during it the Preliminary Prospectus was distributed.
    
	
(ii)
    	
After the   Roadshow, and as determined by the Managers in common agreement with the   Issuer, the Managers began the Bookbuilding Procedure, as specified in item   4.6 above.
    
	
(iii)
    	
When the   Bookbuilding Procedure has been completed, the Managers consolidated the   proposals of investors for subscription of the Debentures, also allocating   the number of Debentures in each series of the Issue.
    
	
(iv)
    	
Once the   final remuneration of the Debentures had been determined, the documents   relating to the Offering were re-presented to the CVM.
    
	
(v)
    	
After the   Registry of the Offering with the CVM has been obtained, this Commencement   Announcement is now being published.
    
	
(vi)
    	
No type of   discount shall be given by the Managers to investors interested in acquiring   the Debentures.
    
	
(vii)
    	
There   shall be no preference for subscription of the Debentures for the present   stockholders of the Issuer.
    
	
(viii)
    	
There   shall be no advance reservations, nor minimum or maximum lots of subscription   of the Debentures.
    
	
(ix)
    	
The target   public of the Offering is that described in Item 2.1.3 below.
    
	
(x)
    	
The   Managers shall make their best efforts for the Debentures of the Second   Series and/or the Debentures of the Third Series to be subscribed   and paid-up by at least 10 (ten) investors per series, with maximum   individual participation of 20% (twenty per cent) of the total value of the   Issue, taking into account such Supplementary Debentures and Additional   Debentures as are in fact issued, in accordance with the Anbima Code of   Regulation and Best Practices for the Fixed Income Novo Mercado (“the   Anbima Fixed Income Code”).
    
	
(xi)

Notwithstanding the provision in Sub-clause (x) above, if the Debentures of the Second Series and/or the Debentures of the Third Series are not subscribed and paid-up by at least 10 (ten) investors per series, or if the individual participation of any investor is greater than 20% (twenty per cent) of the total amount of the Issue, that series of the Offering that does not obey such requirements will not have the Anbima Fixed Income Novo Mercado Seal, and Clause 6.2.4 of the Issue Deed shall apply.

 

If the Debentures of the Second Series and/or the Debentures of the Third Series cease, at any moment or for any reason, to be registered on the Fixed Income Novo Mercado, the Issuer will cease to be obliged to obey the obligations established in the Anbima Fixed Income Code, including in relation to the Obligatory Early Redemption provided for in item 3.25 below and in Clause VI of the Issue Deed, but the Issuer shall continue to be obliged to repurchase the Debentures from such investors as desire this as a result of the loss of the registration in the Fixed Income Novo Mercado, as specified in sub-item X of Article 4 of the Anbima Fixed Income Code.
