MATERIAL FACT
FIBRIA CELULOSE S.A.
(Fibria or Company) (B3: FIBR3 | NYSE: FBR), in accordance with Article 157, paragraph 4
th
, of the Law n. 6.404/76, as amended (
Corporate Law
), and Article 2 of CVM Instruction No. 358/2002, as amended (
ICVM 358/2002
), in response to the B3 Letter No. 374/2018-SAE, has obtained the following clarification from its controlling shareholders with respect to an offer for the acquisition of the Company by Paper Excellence.
The aforementioned B3 Letter also presented the following inquiries for the Company:
In the news conveyed by Valor Econômico website, on March 12, 2018, under the heading Paper Excellence presents a binding offer to acquire Fibria, sources said, it is stated, among other information, that:
1.
Paper Excellence, owned by the same shareholders of Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), has delivered a binding offer to acquire Fibria this weekend;
2.
The offer values the Brazilian company at R$ 40 billion, which exceeds current market capitalization without the debt;
3.
The family Wijayas company proposed to fully undertake the antitrust risk of this acquisition and it is subject to a penalty fee of R$ 7 per share, or almost R$ 4 billion, in case the transaction does not occur;
4.
Thereby, PE officially enters in the dispute for the pulp producer with the Brazilian Suzano Papel e Celulose, which is also competing and has already forwarded a proposal to Fibrias controlling shareholders.
We request clarification about the item above up to March 13, 2018, with your confirmation or not and other relevant information.
Fibria inquired its controlling shareholders, Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A. BNDESPar, requesting clarification on the news published, which provided the following elucidations:
In response to the B3 Letter No. 374/2018-SAE, we hereby inform that BNDESPar has received an unsolicited demonstration of interest from CA Investment (Brazil) SA (CA Investment) for the acquisition of its interest in Fibria Celulose S.A. The demonstration of interest is subject to the implementation of several future events, regarding which it is not possible to foresee any conclusion at this time. Since then, BNDESPAR has been requesting a
2
series of clarifications from CA Investment to understand such demonstration of interest, which is extendable to Votorantim through the tag along right set forth in the Shareholders Agreement between BNDESPAR and Votorantim, and also considers the resulting obligation to conduct a public offer for the acquisition of the totality of the outstanding shares of Fibria, pursuant to Article 254-A of Law No. 6,404/76. Terms and conditions of the demonstration of interest remain confidential.
In addition, Votorantim and BNDESPAR report that the negotiations with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. are still ongoing. We restate that, notwithstanding such negotiations, there is no guarantee that any transaction will be concluded.
Aware of our responsibility in accordance with the applicable legislation and regulations, we reaffirm our commitment to timely communicate, if any, any significant developments of the matter in question.
Finally, the Company informs that it is not part of such negotiations and does not have any additional information.
