MINUTES
OF THE EXTRAORDINARY BOARD OF DIRECTORS' MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 9, 2015
The
purchase of shares will occur upon investing available funds arising from the
Profit Reserve account that, according to the Intermediate Financial
Statements, date base of September 30, 2015, as approved in the Board of
Directors’ meeting held on October 29, 2015, the Company had R$ 1.369.601
thousand.
13. Specify
the reasons why the board of directors' members are comfortable that the
repurchase of shares will not affect the fulfillment of obligations towards
creditors or the payment of mandatory dividends, either fixed or minimum.
The Company
has been demonstrating full capacity of paying its financial commitments, since
its operations are strongly cash-generating and the loans granted to customers
are essentially short term.
The amount to
be used for the repurchase of all of the 23,000,000 shares would correspond,
considering the average price between October 6 and November 6, 2015, to
approximately R$
1,499,600 thousand. This amount represents about 19.4% of the Company's cash,
as provided in the Intermediate Financial Statements, date base of September
30, 2015, as approved in the Board of Directors’ meeting held on October 29,
2015.
In view of
the small percentage in cash, such amount represents that, as well as the
management's overall evaluation regarding the Company's financial situation,
members of the board of directors are comfortable that the repurchase of shares
shall not affect the fulfillment of obligations towards creditors, nor the
payment of mandatory dividends, either fixed or minimum.
