Given that:

 
(i)
the Central Bank of Brazil has approved the merger between Unibanco – União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. (“Unibanco”) and Itaú Unibanco Banco Múltiplo S.A. (“Itaú Unibanco”), as well as the respective corporate restructuring, which were approved at Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings held on November 28, 2008;

 
(ii)
due to the corporate restructuring mentioned above, Unibanco’s shares and depositary receipts were replaced with Itaú Unibanco’s shares and depositary receipts, and the stock tickers originally issued by Unibanco will be replaced with stock tickers of Itaú Unibanco, both in the São Paulo Stock Exchange ( BM&F Bovespa S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros ) and in the New York Stock Exchange, on March 31, 2009, as announced to the market on February 20, 2009;

 
(iii)
as Unibanco will no longer have shares deposited with the Bank of New York Mellon in the form of depositary receipts, nor securities traded under the stock ticker “ UBB” after the unification of the stock tickers, there will be no reason to keep Unibanco’s Depositary Receipt Program;
