The conversion referred to in this notice is being conducted pursuant to exemptions from registration provided under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Aracruz common shares that will be issued to holders of the Company's preferred shares if the conversion is approved have not yet been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No offers of securities or offers to buy securities may, or will, be made by the Company absent registration or an exemption from registration. The conversion referred to in this notice is being conducted pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law, involves securities of a Brazilian corporation and is subject to disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States.
Pursuant to article 124, paragraph 1, subsection II, and for the purposes of article 136, paragraph 1, in either case of Law no. 6,404/76, holders of Class A and Class B preferred stock issued by ARACRUZ CELULOSE S.A. ("Aracruz" or the "Company") are hereby invited, on second call, to attend Special General Meetings of Aracruz Preferred Shareholders to be held at 9:30 a.m., on July 10, 2009, at the boardroom of the Company's headquarters, located at Rodovia Aracruz/Barra do Riacho, km 25, (plant), in the municipality of Aracruz, Espírito Santo State, Brazil, for the specific purpose of deliberating the conversion of all of the Company's Class A and Class B preferred stock into Aracruz common stock at the ratio of 0.91 newly-issued Aracruz common share for each and every Class A or Class B preferred share of the Company, as the case may be, as approved by the Company's common shareholders at an Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting held on May 30, 2009.
Although holders of the Company's Class A and Class B preferred stock will be gathering at the same venue, their votes will be organized and counted as separate class votes of each of the classes of the Company's preferred stock.
