Closing
of the acquisition of Shell's interest in Comgás
|
Continuing
the Material Fact notices published on October 10 and 16, 2017, and the Notices to the Market disclosed on July 18, 2017 and September
6, 2017, regarding the acquisition of shares issued by Companhia de Gás de São Paulo - COMGÁS (“Comgás”)
originating from the exercise of the put option (“Option”) held by companies belonging to the Shell group (“Shell”)
against Cosan Limited (NYSE: CZZ, B3: CZLT33) (“CZZ”), considering that the conditions precedent were met, CZZ and
Shell concluded the purchase and sale of shares issued by Comgás on this date.
As
a result of the dividends paid by Comgás on November 23, 2017, therefore prior to the closing of the transaction, the Parties
adjusted the number of shares issued by the Company to be delivered by CZZ. As such, CZZ will deliver to Shell 17,187,937 common
shares instead of 20,349,395 common shares issued by the Company, corresponding to 4.21% of its capital, in consideration for
receiving 21,805,645 common shares issued by Comgás, corresponding to 16.77% of the capital of Comgás.
As
disclosed and agreed upon, CZZ transferred to Cosan, under the same price and payment term conditions, the shares issued by Comgás
acquired in this transaction.
The
shareholders' agreement between Cosan and Shell regarding the shares issued by Comgás is also rescinded on this date.
|
II.
|
Management
started studies for possible reorganization involving Comgás
|
Since
Cosan will now hold 79.9% of the capital stock of Comgás, the Company’s management will hire legal and financial
advisors to analyze the alternatives for corporate restructuring involving the Company and its subsidiary Comgás.
If
any concrete decision is taken by the management bodies of the Company, the market will be informed immediately and the structure
will be submitted to shareholders for approval.

Sale
of Credit Rights Arising from Lawsuits
|
On
this date, Cosan S.A. signed a memorandum of understanding with the funds Jus Capital Gestão de Recursos Ltda and Farallon
Latin America Investimentos Ltda. regarding a transaction involving potential credit rights arising from certain lawsuits for
damages filed against the Federal Government, in the capacity of successor of Instituto Brasileiro do Açúcar e do
Álcool, to condemn the Federal Government to pay compensation for material damages resulting from the fixing of sugar and
alcohol prices below their cost of production. The transaction value will be approximately one billion, three hundred forty million
reais (R$1,340,000,000.00), without prejudice to an additional percentage Cosan may receive on the amount to be paid by the Federal
Government in the future. The parties shall negotiate the conditions of this potential transaction in the coming weeks and, if
they reach an agreement, they will sign the respective final credit right purchase and sale agreements.
The
Company will keep the market informed of further developments in the ongoing studies and negotiations.
