4. APPRAISAL METHODOLOGY MARKET APPROACH: STOCK-EXCHANGE QUOTATION This methodology seeks to appraise a company by adding all its shares at market price. Since the price of a share is defined by the present value of the flow of future dividends and of a selling price at the end of the period, at a return rate required, on an Ideal Financial Market, this approach will indicate the right value of the company for investors. ASSET APPROACH SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AT THE MARKET This methodology derives from the generally accepted accounting principles (PCGA), in which the financial statements are prepared according to the principle of historical cost, or acquisition cost. Because of this principle and the fundamental accounting principle, the book value of the assets of a company less the book value of its liabilities is equal to the book value of its shareholders equity. On the other hand, the basic principles of economy allow us to create the following appraisal technique: the value defined for the assets less the value defined for the liabilities is equal to the value defined for the shareholders equity of the company. From the perspective of appraisal, the relevant definitions of value are those adequate for the subject being appraised. The approach of the assets, therefore, is meant to appraise the company by the adjustment of book value (net balance) to its respective fair market values. The assets and liabilities deemed relevant are appraised by the fair market value, and then there is a comparison between this amount and the book value (net balance). These adjustments, duly analyzed, are added to the value of the accounting Shareholders Equity, thereby determining the market value of the company through the asset approach. The fair market value of the company will be the value of the Shareholders Equity, considering the adjustments found for the assets and liabilities appraised. INCOME APPROACH: FUTURE YIELD This methodology defines the future yield of the company according to the projected net income and carrying this result to present value. The projection period of the net income is determined taking into account the time that the company will take to present a stable operating activity, that is, without operating variations deemed to be material. The net income is then brought to present value, using a discount rate, which will reflect the risk associated with the market, company and capital structure. PROJECTION FOR FUTURE INCOME For the computation of future yield, we used as the measure of income the Net Income, where: Profit before noncash items, interest and taxes (EBITDA) (-) Noncash items (depreciation and amortization) (=) Net income before taxes (EBIT) (-) Income Tax and Social Contribution (IR/CSLL) (=) After-tax net income 7

RESIDUAL VALUE After the end of the projection period, perpetuity is considered, which comprises all the flows to be generated after the last year of the projection and the respective growths. The residual value of the company (perpetuity) is generally estimated by the use of the model of constant growth. This model assumes that after the end of the projection period, the net income will have a constant perpetual growth. It calculates the value of the perpetuity in the last year of the projection period, by means of a model of geometric progression, and then carries it to the first year of projection. Discount Rate The discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of the yield determined on the projected cash flow corresponds to the minimum yield required by investors, considering that the company will be financed partially by shareholders equity (equity), which requires a yield higher than that obtained in a standard-risk investment, and partially by liabilities to outsiders (debt). This rate is computed using the methodology WACC - Weighted Average Cost of Capital, a model in which the cost of capital is determined by the weighted average of the economic value of the components of the capital structure (equity and debt), as described below: Cost of real shareholders equity Rf Rp Rm beta Leveraged beta Cost of debt to outsiders Rf (*) Alfa Discount Rate Re = Rd = We = Wd = Re = Rf + beta*(rm Rf) + Rp Risk-free rate based on the yearly interest rate of the US Treasury for 30-year bonds, considering the long-term US inflation Country Risk corresponds to the risk of investing in a country in question in comparison with a similar investment in a country considered to be safe. Market risk it measures the valuation of a totally diversified portfolio of shares for a 30-year period. Adjusts the market risk to the risk of a specific sector. Adjusts the beta of the sector to the risk of the company. Rd = Rf (*) + alfa + Rp Risk-free rate based on the yearly interest rate of the US Treasury for 10-year bonds, considering the long-term US inflation Specific risk corresponds to the risk of investing in the company under analysis. WACC = (Re x We) + Rd (1 t) x Wd Cost of shareholders equity. Cost of debt to outsiders. Percentage of the shareholders equity in the capital structure. Percentage of the debt to outsiders in the capital structure. 8

T = Actual rate of the income tax and social contribution of the company. 9
