2 1. Reasons and Justification for the Transaction As indicated in the Company s November 22, 2011 Material Fact, the Schio merger is the second and final phase of the acquisition of 100% of Schio s capital stock by the Company. With this merger, Mr. José Pio X Schio ( José Schio ), Schio s sole remaining original shareholder, will receive shares of the Company in exchange for the Schio shares in his possession, pursuant to the Private Contract for the Purchase and Sale of Interests and Other Agreements, signed on November 21, 2011 by Schio's original shareholders and the Company, and the Schio Protocol and Justification. The remaining Schio shares, corresponding to 87.5% of its capital stock, are currently held by JSL. As stated in JSL's November 21, 2011 Material Fact, the Company expects the acquisition of Schio to generate significant benefits, including: i. An increase in its platform of logistics services, introducing the Company to the food and controlled-temperature products market in a leadership position; ii. iii. iv. Further consolidation of a single platform for logistics services in Brazil, increasing its leadership in the domestic market and its entry into other South American countries; An expansion of its competitive advantages, such as greater economies of scale for the purchase and resale of assets and the acquisition of key inputs, coupled with the absorption of expertise and skilled labor; and Strengthening relationships with Schio s existing customers, with crossselling opportunities, offering services from the JSL portfolio to the new base of added clients. The acquisition of TGABC, whose capital stock is completely held by the Company, is aimed at simplifying the corporate structure of the Company's economic group, reducing its financial and operating costs, and streamlining JSL s and TGABC's operations. As a result of the Transaction, the Acquired Companies will be merged into the Company, with the totality of their respective net book values assigned to the Company. The Acquired Companies will then be fully eliminated, and the Company

3 will assume all of the Acquired Companies rights and obligations under Article 227 of the Corporate Law. The acquisition of 100% of Schio s capital stock, now in its second phase (i.e. the acquisition by JSL of Schio), is subject to the risks usually involved in similar transactions, which could have adverse effects on the Company s operations and financial condition or the operating results of the Company and/or Schio, including the following: The Schio acquisition may fail to enhance the business strategy or the image of JSL or Schio; The Schio acquisition may not be approved by the Brazilian Antitrust System; JSL may face a contingent liabilities, including those relating to civil, tax, labor or social security issues, issues related to Schio s intellectual property, accounting practices, financial statement disclosures or internal controls, as well as other regulatory issues; Implementation of the Schio acquisition could be time-consuming and, to a certain extent, the focus of JSL's and Schio's management may be diverted from their usual operations; There may be difficulties in integrating the operations, accounting, personnel and management information systems of JSL and Schio; JSL and Schio may have to manage additional unplanned costs relating to their integration; The investment made to acquire Schio may not generate the expected returns; Schio s cost structure could be different from that of JSL, and JSL's management may not be able to adapt these structures to those of JSL; and The Schio acquisition could generate goodwill, whose amortization may reduce the Company's net income and dividends. The estimated cost of Transaction is R$ 120, (one hundred and twenty thousand Brazilian reais), which includes the costs for legal and financial advice, valuations, and the registration and publication of the relevant corporate acts.

4 2. Corporate and Business Acts On November 21, 2011, the Company and Schio s shareholders signed the Private Contract for the Purchase and Sale of Interests and Other Agreements, by which the shareholders of Schio were required to divest all shares issued by Schio through their sale and the subsequent acquisition of Schio by JSL. On December 13, 2011, the managements of JSL and the Acquired Companies approved the Transaction proposal, authorizing the execution of the Protocols and Justifications, and summoning their respective Special Shareholders Meetings and Partners Meetings in order to make a decision regarding the Transaction. 3. Exchange Ratio, Number and Type of Shares to be Attributed to Schio Shareholders and their Share Rights Since TGABC is a company whose capital stock is wholly owned by JSL, its acquisition will not result in JSL issuing new shares, given that its net book value is already fully booked by JSL under the equity income method. The exchange ratio applicable to the Schio acquisition was negotiated between the Company and José Schio. The Company s management believes that the negotiated exchange ratio adequately reflects the best assessment of the Companies respective economic values. In line with the above, José Schio will receive 2,439,944 of the Company s common shares for each of the Schio common shares that he owns, resulting in a total emission of 2,439,944 new common shares by the Company, registered and without par value. For the purposes of Article 264 of the Corporate Law, the exchange ratio of Schio s shares for JSL s shares, taking into consideration their respective net book values at market prices, is the following: each of Schio s shares corresponds to shares of JSL. The common shares of JSL to be assigned to José Schio in exchange for his Schio shares will have the same rights as those granted to the outstanding JSL shares, and José Schio will fully enjoy all of the benefits, including dividends and capital remuneration, that may be declared by JSL.
