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.
