MATERIAL FACT
Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional ("CSN"
or "Company") (B3: CSNA3; NYSE: SID) informs its shareholders and the market in general that, it has been sanctioned between
CSN and the controlling shareholders of Metalgráfica Iguaçu S.A. ("Metalgraphic"), with the intervention and consent
of Metalgráfica, an Investment Contract and Other Covenants ("Investment Contract"). Through which, the parties agreed
to carry out the combination of both companies’ operations, trough the incorporation of all shares issued from Metalgráfica
by CSN ("Operation").
The transaction, to be submitted for approval by
the shareholders of CSN and Metalgráfica, will result in (a) the incorporation by CSN of all shares issued by Metalgráfica,
making it its wholly-owned subsidiary; and (b) in return of the shares incorporation, Metalgráfica shareholders will receive CSN
shares (to be issued via capital increase, with the expected maximum dilution of 0.01% of CSN's equity capital) in place of Metalgráfica's
shares, in accordance with the exchange ratio to be approved at the extraordinary general meeting of the companies.
Under the terms of the Investment Contract, CSN and
Metalgráfica agree that, for purposes of establishing the share exchange ratio, the economic value of Metalgráfica will
be considered as measured in a preliminary assessment conducted by a specialized company, and, in the case of CSN, the average price of
the shares in the last 30 (thirty) trading sessions, due to its liquidity and dispersion. Within 30 (thirty) days from the closing date
of the transaction, the exchange ratio may be adjusted in accordance with the terms set forth in the Investment Contract.
Founded in 1951, Metalgráfica has approximately
300 employees at its units in Ponta Grossa (PR) and Goiânia (GO) and produces steel cans for the national and international market
of metal food packaging. The operation is a strategic step to expand the production capacity of CSN's packaging division. The technology
used by Iguaçu is more modern than that used by CSN, improving the competitiveness of the business and strengthening the national
chain, especially in relation to substitute packaging.
The detailed terms and conditions of the operation
will be defined in the Protocol and Justification document, that will be disclosed to the market in due course along with the information’s
provided for in CVM Instruction No. 565/2015. CSN will keep its shareholders and the market informed of the transaction in accordance
with applicable regulations.
