3. OVER-ALLOTMENT SHARES
3.1 Pursuant to Article 24 of CVM Instruction 400, the total number of the Shares originally offered may be increased by up to a percentage rate of 15% (fifteen percent), that is, up to the number of common shares issued by the Company indicated in item 1.2 of the Appendix I hereto, based on the same terms, conditions and price of the Shares originally offered (“Over-allotment Shares”), in accordance with the option hereby granted, by the Company, to the Lead Underwriter, which shall be allocated for the purpose of covering any potential over-allotments verified during the course of the Global Offering (“Over-allotment Option”). The Lead Underwriter shall have the sole right, as of the execution date hereof and for a period of up to 30 (thirty) days counted, inclusive, from the date of publication of the Announcement of Commencement (“Exercise Period”), to exercise the Over-allotment Option, wholly or partially, one or more times, after the delivery of notice to the other Brazilian Underwriters, provided that the decision to over-allot the Shares of the Brazilian Offering on the date of definition of the Price per Share has been taken by the Brazilian Underwriters upon mutual agreement, in accordance with the following procedures:
I. each exercise, by the Lead Underwriter, of the Over-allotment Option, shall be carried out, after delivery of notice in writing to the other Brazilian Underwriters, by means of a notice in writing to be delivered to the Company within the Exercise Period, indicating the number of Over-allotment Shares, that are subject to the exercise;

IV. the subscription price of the Over-allotment Shares shall be equivalent to the Price per Share, multiplied by the number of Over-allotment Shares, that are subject to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option, net of the values payable as Compensation (as defined below), Expenses (as defined below) and taxes to be reimbursed in conformity with Section 11.3 below, and shall be paid by the Lead Underwriter up to the 3rd (third) business day counted from the respective date of exercise of the Over-allotment Option, but not prior to the date of publication of the Announcement of Commencement, in consideration for the transfer of the respective Over-allotment Shares, that are subject to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option (“Closing Date of the Over-allotment Shares”).
4. RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE SHARES
4.1 The Shares shall confer upon the holders thereof any and all rights and privileges and will be subject to the restrictions arising out of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the Novo Xxxxxxx Regulation and the Company’s by-laws, amongst which: (i) the right to vote in the Company’s general meetings, it being understood that each Share shall correspond to one vote; (ii) the right to receive the mandatory dividend, in each fiscal year, equivalent to the percentage rate of 25% (twenty five percent) of the net income adjusted in conformity with Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporate Law; (iii) the right to dispose the Shares based upon the same terms and conditions afforded to the selling controlling shareholder, in the event of disposal of, whether directly or indirectly, on remunerated basis, the Company’s shareholding control, both by means of one single transaction or a series of successive transactions (tag along at the percentage rate of 100% (one hundred percent) of the price); and (iv) the right to receive in full any dividends and other distributions of any nature whatsoever declared by the Company as of the Closing Date (as defined below).
5
4.2 For a period of 90 (ninety) days counted from the date of the Final Prospectus (as defined below), the Company and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the members of the Company’s Board of Executive Officers, except upon the previous consent in writing of the Brazilian Underwriters and the International Underwriters, and subject to certain other exceptions, undertake not to offer, sell, contract to sell or pledge any common shares issued by the Company and/or the Company’s ADRs held by the Company and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the members of the Company’s Board of Executive Officers, or file a registration application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the CVM, relating to the common shares issued by the Company and/or the Company’s ADRs, or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any common share issued by the Company, or warrants or any other rights to purchase any shares issued by the Company, or publicly disclose the intent to make any such offer, sale, disposal or filing.
5. PRICE PER SHARE
5.1 The Price per Share, indicated in item 2.1 of the Appendix I hereto (“Price per Share”), was established after the conclusion of the bookbuilding procedure carried with Institutional Investors (as defined below) by the Brazilian Underwriters and the International Underwriters, as set forth in Article 44 of CVM Instruction 400 (“Bookbuilding Procedure”). Pursuant to Article 170, paragraph 1, item III, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the selection of the criteria for definition of the Price per Share is explained by the fact that the Price per Share will not give rise to the unreasonable dilution of the then Company’s shareholders and that the Shares will be offered by means of a public offering, whereupon the market value of the Shares was determined based on (i) the price of the common shares issued by the Company on the BM&FBOVESPA and the Company’s ADRs on the NYSE; and (ii) the result of the Bookbuilding Procedure, that reflects the value based on which the Institutional Investors submitted the investment intentions within the scope of the Global Offering. The Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders, within the scope of the Priority Offering (as defined below), and the Non-institutional Investors (as defined below), within the scope of the Retail Offering (as defined below), have not participated in the Bookbuilding Procedure and, therefore, have not participated in the definition of the Price per Share.
5.2 The participation of Institutional Investors that are Related Parties (as defined below) in the process for definition of the Price per Shares could be accepted, upon the participation thereof in the Bookbuilding Procedure, up to the percentage rate of 10% (ten percent) of the Shares originally offered (without
6
taking into consideration the Over-allotment Shares and the Priority Offering). In the event of verification of excess demand greater than 1/3 (one third) of the Shares originally offered (without taking into consideration the Over-allotment Shares and the Priority Offering), the placement, by the Brazilian Underwriters, within the scope of the Institutional Offering, of Shares of the Brazilian Offering to the Institutional Investors that are Related Parties shall not be permitted, and any investment intentions carried out within the scope of the Institutional Offering by Institutional Investors that are Related Parties will be automatically cancelled. The investment made by virtue of derivative transactions (total return swaps) shall not be considered as investments made by Related Parties for the purposes of the Global Offering. The participation of Institutional Investors that are Related Parties in the Bookbuilding Procedure may have adversely affected the definition of the Price per Share, and the investment in the Shares by Institutional Investors that are Related Parties may reduce the liquidity of the common shares issued by the Company and/or the Company’s ADRs in the secondary market.
6. PLACEMENT SYSTEM
6.1 Pursuant to the publication of the Notice to the Market (as defined below), the disclosure of the preliminary prospectus of the Brazilian Offering (“Preliminary Prospectus”), the closing of the Reserve Period of the Priority Offering (as defined below) and the Reserve Period of the Retail Offering (as defined below), the conduct of the Bookbuilding Procedure, the approval of registration of the Global Offering by CVM, the publication of the Announcement of Commencement and the disclosure of the final prospectus of the Brazilian Offering (“Final Prospectus” and, jointly with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Brazilian Prospectuses”), the Brazilian Underwriters will carry out the placement of the total Shares of the Brazilian Offering (other than the Over-allotment Shares) in accordance with the individual limits indicated in items 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the Appendix I hereto, under a firm settlement guarantee system, on an individual and not joint basis, subject to the provisions set forth herein.

6.3 If, at the end of the Placement Period, the Shares of the Brazilian Offering have not been fully settled, each one of the Brazilian Underwriters, on an individual and not joint basis, shall subscribe, on the last day of the Placement Period, based on the Price per Share, in such proportion and up to
7
the individual limit of each of the Brazilian Underwriters, based on the percentage rates indicated in items 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the Appendix I hereto, the respective total balance resulting from the difference between (i) the number of Shares of the Brazilian Offering indicated in items 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the Appendix I hereto (other than the Over-allotment Shares); and (ii) the number of Shares of the Brazilian Offering actually settled by the investors that subscribed said Shares.
6.4 The proportion set forth in item 6.3 above may be reallocated by the Brazilian Underwriters upon mutual agreement.
6.5 For the purposes of the provisions set forth in item 5 of Exhibit VI to CVM Instruction 400, in the event the Brazilian Underwriters eventually subscribe the Shares of the Brazilian Offering in conformity with Section 6.3 above and wish to sell any such Shares of the Brazilian Offering before the publication of the announcement of completion of the Brazilian Offering (“Announcement of Completion”), the sales price of any such Shares of the Brazilian Offering shall correspond to the market price of the common shares issued by the Company, limited to the Price per Share, it being, however, understood that the provisions set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not be applicable to the transactions carried out by virtue of the stabilization activities referred to in Section 10 below.
7. TARGET INVESTOR BASE

8. PROCEDURES OF THE BRAZILIAN OFFERING
8.1 The Institutions Participating in the Brazilian Offering shall carry out the public placement of the Shares of the Brazilian Offering in Brazil, on the non-organized over-the-counter market, subject to the provisions set forth in CVM Instruction 400 and the efforts of widespread ownership of shares set forth in the Novo Xxxxxxx Regulation, by means of an offering carried out to the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders (“Priority Offering”), an offering carried out to the Non-institutional Investors (“Retail Offering”) and an offering carried out to the Institutional Investors (“Institutional Offering”), it being understood that the Institutional Offering shall be solely carried out by the Brazilian Underwriters.
8.2 The Brazilian Offering plan, prepared by the Brazilian Underwriters, in conformity with Article 33, paragraph 3, of CVM Instruction 400, upon the Company’s express consent, takes into consideration the relationships among
9
customers and the Company’s and the Brazilian Underwriters’ other commercial or strategic considerations, provided, however, that the Brazilian Underwriters shall ensure the adequacy of the investment to the customers’ risk profile, as well as the investors’ fair and equitable treatment and shall carry out the efforts of widespread ownership of shares set forth in the Novo Xxxxxxx Regulation.
8.3 The investors were informed that the merger between the Company and Sadia, in conformity with the merger agreement entered into on May 19, 2009 by and among the Company, HFF Participações S.A. and Sadia (“Merger”), including the merger of the shares issued by Sadia with and into the Company (“Sadia Merger”), is subject to the approval of the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders. Moreover, the Merger is subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities. Any such approvals are estimated to occur during the Global Offering and/or on a given date subsequent to the Closing Date, and may not be obtained or may be obtained with restrictions. The Global Offering is not subject to the implementation of any phase of the merger in any manner whatsoever, including the Sadia Merger. The failure to implement the Merger, including the Sadia Merger, or the approval thereof based on terms and conditions different from those already disclosed shall not entitle the underwriters of Shares to the right to withdraw from the Global Offering or claim the reimbursement of the values paid in connection therewith.
8.4 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger, the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders are expected to approve the Merger in their respective general meetings, in the near future. In the event any and all phases of the Merger are approved in full, the Sadia Shareholders will be included in the Company’s shareholding structure, and the total shares issued by Sadia will be, whether directly or indirectly, held by the Company. Accordingly, and taking into consideration the Company’s interest to guarantee the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Brazilian Offering in order to keep the current equity interests thereof in the Company’s share capital after the consummation of the Merger, the Brazilian Underwriters, based on Article 21 of CVM Instruction 400, that permits the Company to confer preemptive rights to subscribe for the Shares of the Brazilian Offering upon the Shareholders, and Article 33, paragraph 3, of CVM Instruction 400, that permits the Brazilian Underwriters to organize the Brazilian Offering plan, taking into consideration any and all matters of strategic nature, decided to guarantee Shareholders and the Shareholders of Sadia the preemptive right to subscribe for the Shares of the Brazilian Offering within the scope of the Brazilian Offering, provided that the Priority Offering was not extended to the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders which are not resident and domiciled or with head office in Brazil, taking into consideration that the offer and sale of the Shares of the Brazilian Offering
10
are subject to the securities laws in the United States of America and other countries, and that certain terms and conditions of the Priority Offering may not be compatible with said laws.
8.5 In the context of the Priority Offering, the total Shares originally offered (without considering the Over-allotment Shares), shall be primarily allocated for public offering to the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders that wish to exercise the preemptive right thereof in accordance with the procedure set forth below:
I. during the Reserve Period of the Priority Offering, each of the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders interested in participating in the Priority Offering shall have submitted the Reserve Order for Shares of the Brazilian Offering (“Reserve Order”), on irrevocable and irreversible terms, except for the provisions set forth in items IX and X below and Section 8.8 below, upon the filing of the Reserve Order with one single Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering, without the need for any previous deposit of the estimated investment value, provided that the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders (a) were able to determine, in the Reserve Order, a maximum price per Share as a condition to the validity of the respective Reserve Order, without the need of subsequent confirmation, it being understood that, in the event the Price per Share was determined in a value greater than the value established by the Shareholder or the Sadia Shareholder, the respective Reserve Order would be automatically cancelled; and (b) should determine, in the Reserve Order, a maximum investment value. The Institutions Participating in the Brazilian Offering solely satisfied Reserve Orders submitted by the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders which own a bank or investment account opened therewith or kept therein by the respective investor. The Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders interested to submit Reserve Orders were advised to carefully read the terms and conditions set forth therein, in particular the procedures relating to the settlement of the Brazilian Offering, and the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, and to verify, with the Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering selected by said Shareholders and Sadia Shareholders, prior to the submission of the respective Reserve Order, if any such Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering, on own discretion, would require the maintenance of funds in the investment account opened therewith and/or kept therein, for purposes of guarantee of the Reserve Order;
II. the Priority Offering was not extended to the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders that are not resident and domiciled or have their head office in Brazil, taking into consideration that the offer and sale of the
11
Shares of the Brazilian Offering are subject to the U.S. securities laws, and that certain terms and conditions of the Priority Offering may not be compatible with said laws;
III. the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders shall have submitted the respective Reserve Orders within the period from July 10, 2009 to July 14, 2009 (“Reserve Period of the Priority Offering”);
IV. each of the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders which submitted the Reserve Order was entitled to subscribe for the Shares of the Brazilian Offering (a) up to the proportional equity interest limit (1) of each Shareholder in the Company’s total share capital, as if any and all phases of the Merger have already occurred, it being understood that each common share issued by the Company and held by the Shareholders shall entitle the Shareholder to the right to subscribe for 0.378306 Shares of the Brazilian Offering; and (2) of each Sadia Shareholder in the Company’s total share capital, as if any and all phases of the Merger have already occurred, it being understood that each common or preferred share issued by Sadia and held by the Sadia Shareholder shall entitle the Sadia Shareholder to the right to subscribe for 0.050314 Shares of the Brazilian Offering (“Proportional Subscription Limit”); and (b) which exceed the Proportional Subscription Limit, by means of a reserve order for unsubscribed shares in the Reserve Order, subject to the provisions set forth in item V below. The verification of the Proportional Subscription Limit was carried out at the end of July 7, 2009 (“First Closing Date”), in accordance with the custody positions in any such date of each of the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders on BM&FBOVESPA or the depositaries of the common shares issued by the Company and the common and preferred shares issued by Sadia, however the case may be, without taking into consideration any standard portions, taking into consideration that, in the event the respective custody position of the common shares issued by the Company and held by the Shareholder or the common and/or preferred shares issued by Sadia and held by the Sadia Shareholder, verified with BM&FBOVESPA or the respective depositaries at the end of July 17, 2009 (“Second Closing Date”), is lower or greater than the respective custody position verified on the First Closing Date, the Proportional Subscription Limit would be adjusted based on the respective position held by the Shareholder or the Sadia Shareholder on the Second Closing Date;
V. the outstanding Shares of the Brazilian Offering after satisfaction of the Reserve Order submitted by the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders shall be apportioned among the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders which, in the respective Reserve Order, have
12
submitted a reserve order for unsubscribed Shares of the Brazilian Offering within the scope of the Priority Offering, provided, however, that the number of Shares of the Brazilian Offering to be allocated for the apportionment of the unsubscribed shares to each of the Shareholders and the Sadia Shareholders which have submitted the reserve order for unsubscribed shares is limited to the lesser of the following: (a) the number of Shares of the Brazilian Offering allocated to the respective Shareholder or Sadia Shareholder within the scope of the Priority Offering prior to the apportionment of the unsubscribed shares; (b) the maximum investment value contained in the respective Reserve Order; or (c) the number of Shares of the Brazilian Offering corresponding to the respective Proportional Subscription Limit applied on the Shares of the Brazilian Offering subject to the apportionment of the unsubscribed shares, without taking into consideration fractions of Shares of the Brazilian Offering, by applying any such procedure on successive basis until the satisfaction of any and all reserve orders for unsubscribed shares. The outstanding Shares of the Brazilian Offering, if any, shall be allocated to the Retail Offering;
VI. up to 4:00 pm on the 1st (first) business day subsequent to the date of publication of this Announcement of Commencement, each Shareholder and each Sadia Shareholder shall be informed by the Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering which has received the respective Reserve Order, through their respective email or, in the case of lack thereof, through fax, telephone or mail, about the Closing Date, the number of Shares of the Brazilian Offering allocated, the Price per Share and the respective investment value and, in any event whatsoever, the investment value shall be limited to the value indicated in the respective Reserve Order;
VII. up to 10:30 am on the Closing Date, each Shareholder and each Sadia Shareholder shall make the payment, in immediately available funds, of the value indicated in item VI above to the Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering which has received the respective Reserve Order, under penalty of automatic cancellation of the respective Reserve Order in the event of failure to do so;
VIII. on the Closing Date, the Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering which has received the respective Reserve Order shall deliver the Shares of the Brazilian Offering allocated to the respective Shareholder or Sadia Shareholder in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, provided that the payment set forth in item VII above is so made;
13
IX. in the event of (a) verification of any material discrepancy between the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus that substantially changes the risk borne by the Shareholder or the Sadia Shareholder or the investment decision thereof; (b) suspension of the Global Offering, in conformity with Article 20 of CVM Instruction 400; and/or (c) amendment to the Global Offering, in conformity with Article 27 of CVM Instruction 400, the Shareholder or the Sadia Shareholder may withdraw the respective Reserve Order and shall inform, for any such purpose, the decision thereon to the Institution Participating in the Brazilian Offering which has received the respective Reserve Order (1) up to 4:00 pm on the 5th (fifth) business day subsequent to the date of disclosure of the Final Prospectus, in the event of the preceding item (a); and (2) up to 4:00 pm on the 5th (fifth) business day subsequent to the date of any communication regarding the suspension of or amendment to the Global Offering, in the event of the preceding items (b) and (c).
