CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation (1)		Amount of Filing Fee (2)
$72,329,522.68		$8,302.90

 

(1)		Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d) only. The Transaction Valuation was calculated assuming the purchase of all outstanding Preferred Shares, no par value (including Preferred Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), other than shares owned directly or indirectly by the Filing Persons at a purchase price of R$29.02 in cash per Preferred Share. As of August 19, 2013, there were 228,503,916 Preferred Shares outstanding (including Preferred Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), of which 223,080,448 are owned directly or indirectly by the Filing Persons. As a result, this calculation assumes the purchase of 5,423,468 outstanding Preferred Shares. The Transaction Valuation was calculated in Brazilian  reais  (R$) and converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on October 11, 2013 of U.S.$1 = R$2.176, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.
(2)		The total filing fee of $8,302.90 was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is the sum of (i) $8,176.57 (paid on August 13, 2012), which is the product of $71,348,734.58 (the transaction value calculated at the exchange rate in effect on August 8, 2012 of U.S.$1 = R$2.025, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.) and 0.0001146 (the Fee Rate then in effect based on Fee Rate Advisory #3 for fiscal year 2012, issued September 29, 2011), and (ii) $126.33 (paid on October 17, 2013), which is the product of $980,788.10 (the difference between the previous transaction value of $71,348,734.58 and the current Transaction Value of $72,329,522.68) and 0.0001288 (the Fee Rate currently in effect based on Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2014, issued on August 30, 2013).
