is hereby recorded that the material relating to the items resolved at this Board of Directors' Meeting is on file at the Company's head

and instructed the Governance Secretary to draw up this Certificate which, having been read and approved, is signed by the same Secretary.

Company, a legitimate precaution, supported by the Administration's duty of secrecy, in accordance with the "caput" of article

Law. The following were present: Chaiman VICENTE FALCONI CAMPOS; Directors CARLOS EDUARDO RODRIGUES PEREIRA (CRP), FELIPE VILLELA DIAS
