Description and Purpose of the Transaction

 

2.1.

Description of the Transaction

The Transaction shall comprise the following steps, all interdependent and related among them, which completions will be subject to the applicable corporate approvals as well as to the compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in the Protocol and Justification and described in item 5 below, all such steps to be coordinated in order to occur on the same date:

(a) Capital increase of the Holding, upon the issuance of new ordinary, registered shares with no par value, in an amount determined pursuant to the terms of the Protocol and Justification, such that the number of ordinary shares subscribed by Suzano represent after the issuance set forth in item (b), sixty-one percent (61%) of the total ordinary shares and forty-four percent (44%) of the total capital of Holding, which shall be fully paid-in by Suzano, either directly or through any of its Affiliates (as defined in the Protocol and Justification), in Brazilian currency, until the Transaction Completion Date (as defined in item 5 below), for the total issuance price equal to the Redemption Value of the Holding’s Redeemable Preferred Share (as defined in the item 2.2 below), a portion of which, to be defined at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Holding, shall be allocated to the constitution of a capital reserve, being that, in case of subscription of such shares by an Affiliate of Suzano, they will be fully transferred to Suzano before or at the Transaction Completion Date, in such manner as may be determined by Suzano (“Holding’s Capital Increase”);

(b) On the same date, as a subsequent and interdependent act of Holding’s Capital Increase, merger of all the shares issued by Fibria into Holding, by its economic value, resulting in the issuance, by Holding, on behalf of the shareholders of Fibria that own the merged shares (“Fibria’s Shareholders”), of ordinary shares and of redeemable preferred shares issued by Holding, it being certain that, for each ordinary share issued by Fibria one (1) ordinary share and one (1) redeemable preferred share issued by Holding shall be delivered, as set forth in item 4.1 of the Protocol and Justification (“Merger of Fibria’s Shares”). After the Merger of Fibria’s Shares is completed, Fibria shall keep its own legal personality and equity, there being no legal succession;

(c) On the same date, as a subsequent and interdependent act of the Merger of Fibria’s Shares, redemption of all the preferred shares issued by Holding, upon payment, for each one (1) preferred share issued by Holding that is redeemed, of the Redemption Value for Each One of the Holding’s Redeemable Preferred Share, as defined below (“Redemption”). Once redeemed, Holding’s preferred shares will be canceled against capital reserve; and

Table of Contents

(d) On the same date, as a subsequent and interdependent act of the Redemption, merger of Holding into Suzano, at book value of the shareholders’ equity of Holding (already taking into consideration the effects of Holding’s Capital Increase, the Merger of Fibria’s Shares and the Redemption), with the consequent winding-up of Holding and succession, by Suzano, in all its assets, rights and obligations, with the consequent migration of Fibria’s Shareholders to Suzano’s shareholder base (“Holding’s Merger”).

The base date of the Transaction will be March 31, 2018 (“Base Date”).

As a result of the Transaction, the number of Suzano’s outstanding shares will be increased by the number of shares issued in favor of Fibria’s Shareholders after the Merger of Holding. Upon completion of the Transaction, Fibria’s shares will cease to be traded and its shareholders will become holders of Suzano’s shares, pursuant to the exchange ratio set forth in item 4.3 below.

Although the steps above are subsequent to one another, all of them are part of one sole legal transaction, it being a requisite that each of the steps will not be individually effective without the others also becoming effective and fully implemented as a whole.

 

  2.1.1.

Appraisal Report and Appraisers

Suzano’s management, on behalf of Suzano and of the Holding, retained the services of (a) Ernst & Young Assessoria Empresarial Ltda., enrolled with CNPJ/MF under No. 59.527.788/0001-31 (“EY”) to appraise and determine the economic value of Fibria’s shares to be merged into Holding (“Appraisal Report of Fibria’s Shares”); and (b) PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, enrolled with CNPJ/MF under No. 61.562.112/0001-20 (“PwC”) to appraise and determine the book value of the shareholders’ equity of Holding to be transferred to Suzano by reason of Holding’s Merger (“Appraisal Report of Holding”).

 

2.2.

Purpose of the Transaction

The purpose of the Transaction is to combine Fibria’s and Suzano’s operations and shareholder bases, turning Fibria into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano. Considering that the outstanding capital stock of Fibria is represented, on the Transaction Completion Date, by five hundred and fifty-three million, eighty thousand, six hundred and eleven (553,080,611) ordinary, ex-treasury shares, disregarding the shares resulting from the vesting of stock option plans, and Suzano’s outstanding capital stock is represented, on the Transaction Completion Date, by one billion, ninety-one million, nine hundred and eighty-four thousand, one hundred and forty-one (1,091,984,141) ordinary, ex-treasury shares, disregarding the shares resulting from the vesting of stock option plans, and subject to the provisions of Section 2 of the Protocol and Justification, the Transaction will result in the receipt, by Fibria’s shareholders, for each ordinary share issued by Fibria that they own at the referred date of:

(i) cash payment in Brazilian currency of fifty-two Reais and fifty cents (R$ 52.50) (“Cash Installment”), adjusted by the CDI variation verified between March 15, 2018 and the Financial Settlement Date, and also in accordance with item 4.2 below (after the adjustments, the “Redemption Value for Each One of the Holding’s Redeemable Preferred Share”), to be paid cash, in a single installment, at the Transaction Completion Date (“Financial Settlement Date”); and

(ii) Zero point four six one one (0.4611) ordinary share issued by Suzano (“Exchange Ratio”), adjusted pursuant to the provisions of the Protocol and Justification (after the adjustments, the “Final Quantity of Suzano’s Shares per Holding’s Ordinary Shares).

Main Benefits, Costs and Risks of the Transaction

 

3.1.

Main Benefits

It is sought, with the Transaction, to create a solid company, owning first-line and strategically located assets, able to efficiently supply customers in all continents with its products.

The integration of the Companies’ activities will allow for synergy gains to be obtained as a result of the reduction in forestry, logistics and administrative operational costs and risks, with significant efficiency gains to the Companies.

 

3.2.

Costs

The Companies estimate that the total costs and expenses for the execution and completion of the Transaction, including the costs with the drafting and publication of the corporate documents, and valuation experts’ fees and other professionals hired will be of approximately ninety-seven millions Reais (R$ 97,000,000.00).

 

3.3.

Risks

The Transaction aims to integrate Suzano’s and Fibria’s businesses and take advantage of the synergies obtained from this integration. Notwithstanding, the Transaction has a number of requisites and conditions that must be fulfilled in order for the Transaction to take place, including the approval by the competition authorities in Brazil and abroad, which may reject the Transaction or even approve it with restrictions, which may be structural (e.g., assets disposal) and/or behavioral (e.g. commitment and market monitoring clauses).

Table of Contents

In this context, even if approved by the Shareholders’ Meetings of Suzano and of Fibria, the Transaction may not be concluded or be concluded with a combination of assets and transactions different from the initially proposed one, which could impact the expected efficiency profit between Suzano and Fibria.

In addition, the market value of Suzano’s and Fibria’s ordinary shares, at the time of completion of the Transaction, may vary significantly from its price on the base date for the Transaction, March 31, 2018, and on the date in which the Protocol and Justification was executed. The share price change may occur as a result of a variety of factors which are beyond Suzano’s and Fibria’s control, including changes in the Companies’ business, transactions and projections, transaction schedule, regulatory issues, general market and economic conditions, including exchange rates, whether nationally or internationally, as well as other factors that impact the industry.

Accordingly, the success of the Transaction will depend in part on the Companies’ ability to carry out growth opportunities and cost savings resulting from the combination of Suzano’s and Fibria’s businesses. There is no certainty, however, that such opportunities and economies will be successful. If such objectives are not achieved successfully, the expected benefits of the Transaction may not occur fully or entirely or may take longer than expected to occur.

Suzano and Fibria operate and, until the consummation of the Transaction, will continue to operate independently. Both Companies will have important challenges in consolidating functions, integrating organizations, processes and operations in an optimized and efficient manner, as well as in the retention of personnel. The integration of the Companies will be complex and time consuming and the management of both Companies will have to dedicate substantial resources and efforts to its implementation. The integration process and other sensitivities of the Transaction may result in challenges for each of the Companies in their respective business courses which may adversely affect their ability to maintain their relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and others with whom the Companies interact, or adversely affect the achievement of the expected benefits of the Transaction.

After the Transaction, Suzano’s and Fibria’s revenues and results will be consolidated by Suzano, so any future negative results of any of the Companies may affect the consolidated result for Suzano’s shareholders and for Fibria’s shareholders that will become shareholders of Suzano.

4.1.

Merger of Fibria’s Shares

4. Plans to conduct corporate businesses, notably in relation to specific planned corporate events

After the consummation of the Operation, Fibria will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano. As a result, the companies will continue their activities, undergo a period of integration of their operations, while Suzano will maintain its registration as a publicly held corporation. Fibria’s registration as a publicly held corporation will be maintained after the Operation until further decision by Suzano. With the Consummation of the Operation, the shares of Fibria will be delisted from the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) and the American Depositary Shares (ADS) of Fibria will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

5. Analysis of the following aspects of the operation:

a. Description of key expected benefits, including synergies, tax benefits and strategic advantages:

The Operation aims to create a solid company, holder of top-tier, strategically located assets that are capable of efficiently supplying clients in all continents with its products.

The integration of the Companies’ activities will enable the capture of synergy gains arising from reduction operating, forest, logistics and administrative costs and risks, with significant efficiency gains for both Companies.

b. Costs

The Companies estimate the total costs and expenses with the Operation, including any costs with the preparation and publication of corporate acts, and expenses with fees for valuation of companies and other professionals involved, at ninety-seven million reais (R$97,000,000.00).

c. Risk Factors

The Operation aims to integrate the businesses of Suzano and Fibria and capture the synergies from the integration. However, the Operation has diverse assumptions and conditions that must be fulfilled for it to be consummated, including approvals by antitrust authorities in Brazil and abroad, which may reject the Operation, or approve it with restrictions, which may be of a structural nature (such as divestments of assets) and/or of a behavioral nature (commitment clauses and monitoring of market).

In this context, the Operation may not be consummated, or may be consummated with a different combination of assets and operations from initially proposed, which could impact the efficiency gains expected between Suzano and Fibria.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the market value of the common shares issued by Suzano and Fibria, at the moment of consummation of the Operation, may vary significantly in relation to their price on the base date of the Operation, i.e. March 31, 2018, and on the date the Merger Agreement was signed. The variation in the price of the shares may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the control of Suzano or Fibria, including changes in the businesses, operations and projections of the Company, Operation timetable, regulatory matters, market conditions, including exchange rates, and general economic conditions in Brazil and abroad, as well as other factors that affect industry.

Accordingly, the success of the Operation will depend, partially, on the ability of the Companies to seize opportunities for growth and cost savings resulting from the business combination between Suzano and Fibria. There is no certainty, however, that such opportunities and savings will be successful. If such goals are not achieved successfully, the expected benefits from the Operation may not be captured fully or totally, or may take longer to be realized.

Suzano and Fibria have operated and, until the consummation of the Operation, will continue to operate, independently. Both Companies will have important challenges in the consolidation of functions, integration of the organizations, processes and operations in an optimized and efficient manner, as well to retain their personnel. The integration of the Companies will be complex and will take time, and the managements of both Companies will have to dedicate substantial resources and efforts to implement it. The process of integration and other sensitive aspects of the Operation may result in challenges for each of the Company in their respective course of business, which may adversely affect their capacity to maintain their relationships with clients, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders of the Companies, or adversely affect the capture of the expected benefits from the Operation.

After the Operation, the revenue and result of Suzano and Fibria will be consolidated by Suzano, such that any future negative result of any of the Companies may affect the consolidated result for the shareholders of Suzano and for the Shareholders of Fibria that will have become shareholders of Suzano.

d. In case of a related-party transaction, any alternatives that could be used to achieve the same objectives, indicating the reasons why such alternatives were not considered

Not applicable.

If two or more Offeree Shareholders exercise the Right of First Offer, the offered bound shares will be distributed among such Offeree Shareholders (x) in the proportion agreed among the Offeree Shareholders who exercised their Right of First Offer; or, if there is no agreement for this purpose (y) in proportion to the number of bound shares held thereby in relation to the total number of bound shares issued by the Company (excluding the interest held by the Offeror Shareholder and the other Offeree Shareholders who did not exercise their Right of First Offer). If the Offeree Shareholders fail to exercise their Right of First Offer, the Offeree Shareholder is authorized to obtain, through a private procedure, a firm proposal in good faith from a third party interested in acquiring all bound shares offered, provided that (I) such third parties does not represent any Common Interest (as defined in the Agreement) with the Offeror Shareholder or exercises, directly or indirectly, Competing Activity as defined in the Agreement); and (II) the price obtained is greater than the proposed transfer amount for the purposes of exercise of the Right of First Offer, plus the variation in the CDI rate from the date of submission of the notice of the Right of First Offer to all Offeree Shareholders to the date of respective receipt (“Proposal”). After obtaining the Proposal, the transfer of the offered bound shares will be subject to the preemptive right below.

(ii) Preemptive Right: After receipt of the Proposal to sell, directly or indirectly, all offered bound shares to a proposing third party in accordance with the terms above, the Offeror Shareholder must grant the Offeree Shareholders preemptive right to acquire such offered bound shares, in identical terms and conditions to the Proposal, in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the Agreement (“Preemptive Right”). The Offeree Shareholders may acquire up to all the offered bound shares, and the absence of any communication will be construed as their failure to exercise their Preemptive Right. If two or more Offeree Shareholders exercise their Preemptive Right, the offered bound shares will be distributed among such Offeree Shareholders (I) in the proportion agreed among the Offeree Shareholders who exercised their Preemptive Right; or, if there is no agreement for this purpose (II) in proportion to the number of bound shares held thereby in relation to the total number of bound shares issued by the Company (excluding the interest held by the Offeror Shareholder and the other Offeree Shareholders who did not exercise their Preemptive Right). If the Offeree Shareholders fail to exercise their Preemptive Right, the Offeror Shareholder will be authorized to transfer to the proposing third party the offered bound shares, strictly in accordance with the Proposal. Such provisions regarding the Preemptive Right apply to their assignment, subject to specific deadlines and procedures established in the Agreement.


Table of Contents

The Transfer of the offered shares after ninety (90) days from the end of the period for exercising Preemptive Rights shall once again be subject to the procedures related to the Right of First Offer and Preemptive Right.

Note that no transfer of bound shares shall be made to a third party that engages in a Competing Activity, directly or indirectly, or that has a Common Interest with anyone who engages in a Competitive Activity, in accordance with the Agreement.

Any shares bound to the Agreement that are transferred to third parties, in accordance with a possible Proposal, will, upon the transfer, be automatically released from the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the prohibitions above, each Shareholder may transfer their bound shares (including the Right of First Offer and the Preemptive Right to the acquisition), at any time: (i) to another Shareholder in their own Shareholder Group; (ii) to their Successors; and (iii) to their Permitted Assignees (as defined in the Agreement). Such permitted transfers are subject to the following: (1) that the affiliate assignee joins the Agreement, thereby comprising the group of the shareholders of the assigning Shareholder; (2) that the assigning Shareholder, individually or jointly with their Successors, is, directly or indirectly, the holder of the total capital of the affiliate, and further undertakes: (2.i) not to transfer, share or sell their ownership interest, directly or indirectly, as applicable, in the respective Permitted Assignee, in any way, without reacquiring the bound shares and fulfilling the restrictions on the transfer of bound shares; and (2.ii) to jointly guarantee all obligations of the assignee affiliate related to the Agreement.

Finally, if the bound shares owned by any of the Shareholders are subject to involuntary burden, the Shareholder in question may request the release of the shares and, in the case of forced forfeiture, the other Shareholders will have the right to acquire such shares that are the object of the involuntary burden, in accordance with the terms, prices and procedures established in the Agreement. If more than one Shareholder exercises their purchase right, such shareholder may acquire the shares under lien in proportion to the number of bound shares they hold in relation to the total bound shares issued by the Company bound to the Agreement, excluding the ownership interest owned by the Shareholder holding the shares under lien and the Shareholders that do not exercise their purchase right.

In the event of declaration of any dividends, interest on equity and other income by SUZANO as from March 15, 2018 and with reporting date of the shareholder base (ex date) until the Transaction Completion Date, the Cash Installment shall be added by the amount corresponding to the dividends that FIBRIA’s shareholders would receive as if, at the dividend payment date, the Transaction had already been completed and such FIBRIA’s shareholders were already SUZANO’s shareholders. For the purposes hereof, the amounts for any dividends, interest on equity and other income being paid shall be updated to the positive variation of the CDI rate, from the respective payment date until the Financial Settlement Date. The minimum mandatory dividends already proposed by the managements of (i) SUZANO, on February 07, 2018, in the amount of three hundred and eighty million, one hundred and fourteen thousand, five hundred and four Reais and fifty-six cents (R$380,114,504.56) and (ii) FIBRIA, on January 29, 2018, in the amount of two hundred and fifty-seven million, seven hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred and eighty-four Reais and fifty-nine cents (R$257,750,384.59) shall not be considered for purposes of the adjustment provided for herein.

4.2. In continuity, it is proposed that, as a result of the Holding Merger, new ordinary shares are issued by SUZANO on behalf of the former shareholders of FIBRIA (who at such time will already be Holding’s shareholders), all of them to be registered shares, with no face value, in substitution for the ordinary shares issued by the Holding and held by them. The Final Quantity of SUZANO’s Shares per Holding’s Ordinary Shares shall be then issued for each ordinary share issued by Holding.

4.6. The Holding Merger, on its turn, shall result in an increase of SUZANO’s shareholders’ equity in an amount equal to the portion of the Holding’s shareholders’ equity corresponding to the investment of FIBRIA’s shareholders in the Holding, after the Redemption, part of which shall be allocated to SUZANO’s capital stock and part of which shall be allocated to the capital reserve to be determined at the general meeting. The shares issued by the Holding and owned by SUZANO at the time of the Holding Merger shall be cancelled.

4.7. Notwithstanding the fact that the exchange rates were agreed upon between SUZANO and FIBRIA, as independent parties, and that there is no right of recourse as a result of the Holding Merger, as mentioned in item 4.2.3, SUZANO, for information purposes and due to the reason that, at the date of the Holding Merger, it is the holding company of the Holding, has also requested to EY to prepare an appraisal report in conformity with article 264 of Law No. 6404/76, appraising the two shareholders’ equities following the same criteria and on the same date, at market prices (“Appraisal Report of Net Equity at Market Value”).

July 10, 2018 3 Sector Analysis Dashboard 6 Valuation 1 Executive Summary 7 Exhibits Global Cellulose and Pulp Market 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 8 Appendix 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Projected Financial Information Between 1990 and 2016, global pulp production grew by 11.0% (185.5 million tons) at a CAGR of 0.4% . However, within the period between 2007 and 2009, production was impacted by the international financial crisis, falling 11.3% . Consequently, with the increase of the world’s stocks, the companies reduced their productions. Since these events, the same pre-crisis levelshavenot been recovered. The United States is the largest pulp producer in the world, representing 26.3% of the total market with 48.5 millions of tons produced in 2016. As a comparison, US production is triple that of Brazilian production. However, in recent years, the United States and Canada have fallen in production, due to the low competitiveness in the internationalmarket, compared with other countries that havegained space in this industry. Of the total products derived from pulp, 31.5% are destined for export and the five largest global exporters are Brazil, Canada, Chile, Sweden and the United States, which represent 63.6% of total exports. In 2013, Brazil became the largest exporter, surpassing Canada, mainly to supply the growing Chinese demand, which is the largest importer of pulp in the world. Only China imports 33.0% of the total produced globally, which assists in supplying demand, not only in Brazil, but also in other South American and European countries. Between 2010 and 2016, Brazil tripled the value of its exports, while Chile, which became one of the main players in South America and a major global competitor due to the good adaptability of both eucalyptus and pine pulp production,grew 98.5% during that same period. Another important aspect of the global pulp industry is the low price volatility of eucalyptus pulp in the international market, varying by 8.0% between 2000 and 2017, which is explained by the high flexibility of pulp producers to adjust the production required for pulp production. demand curve, the industry’s slight cost curveand market prices close to producers’ costs.

July 10, 2018 3 Sector Analysis Dashboard 6 Valuation 1 Executive Summary 7 Exhibits Cellulose in Brazil 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 8 Appendix 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Projected Financial Information In Brazil, the two main sources of wood used for pulp production are pine Area of forests planted in Brazil (thousands of hectors) and eucalyptus, accounting for more than 92.5% of the volume produced. The country ranks second in the ranking of pulp producers of all types and first, if only eucalyptuspulp is considered. There are two types of cellulose, with different physical and chemical characteristics. The Fibra Longa cellulose is used in the production of papers that demand more resistance, such as those used in packaging, paper and newspaper. The other type, called Short Fiber, derived mainly from eucalyptus, is used for the production of household papers (printing and writing) and sanitary purposes (toilet paper, paper towels and napkins). About 85.0% of the total Brazilian production corresponds to Fibra Curta pulp. In 2017, Brazil had the 7th largest area of certified planted forests, covering 6.4 million hectares. In July 2017, with the objective of promoting economic activities and guaranteeing supplies to local industries, the Government adopted the Annual Forest Granting Plan (PAOF) for 2018, granting 1.6 million hectares of public forests in the states of Amazonas, Amapá, Pará and Rondônia. Brazil’s competitiveness in this sector is a result of natural factors such as abundance of land and favorable climate and soil for planting eucalyptus trees (which account for 72.3% of the total planted area). The increase in eucalyptus productivity in the country is a consequence of the high investment and development of innovations in the biotechnology, genetics and forest maintenance techniques. The result is a productivity gain of 30m3 per hectare per year since the 1970s. As a comparison, this productivity gain enabled the industry to use half of the eucalyptus plantation area for the supply used in China. The production of 1.5 million tons of pulp requires 140 thousand hectares in Brazil, one fifth of the area needed in Scandinavia.

Between 2015 and 2016, São Paulo and Minas Gerais had decreases in eucalyptus production of 3.1% and 0.4%, respectively. In contrast, Mato Grosso do Sul and Tocantins had growths of 323.0% and 439.0% between the years 2007 and 2016, with CAGR of 15.5% and 20.6%, respectively. Pine production in Brazil is concentrated in only two states, Paraná and Santa Catarina, which represent 77.0% of the planted area of this variety in the country.

This expansion will be due to the strong demand for eucalyptus pulp in developed and developing countries and the low availability of pulp in the global market due to production inefficiencies and also the start-up of new plants, specificallyin China. Since 2013, Brazilian imports have fallen 51.0%, from 430 thousand to 211 thousand tons. Three factors impacted this change: the devaluation of the Real against the Dollar during the period (increasing exports), the growth of pulp production in the country and the development of resistance and use of short-fiber pulp. However, the trend is that imports of pulp will grow at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2017 and 2022, driven by the growing demand from the national pulp paper industry and the production used for the generation of high valueaggregate goods. Domestic pulp consumption grew by 1.6% in 2017 from 6.2 million to 6.3 million tons, mainly due to the recovery in paper production, which Source: EMIS increased the use of raw materials in the domestic market. Domestic cellulose in Brazil demand corresponds to 33.0% of production, with 94.0% coming from Apparent consumption of (thousands of tons) domestic productionand only 6.0% from other countries.

Basis for preparation of the balance sheet and summary of the main accounting policies

The balance sheet of March 31, 2018 was prepared for the assessment of the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Company”), in the context of the merger of the Company into Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (“Suzano”) on a future date, in accordance with the terms of Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, as described below.

The balance sheet of March 31, 2018 was prepared and is presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC).

 

(a)

Corporate events

Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations

On March 15, 2018, Suzano Holding S.A., jointly with the other controlling shareholders of Suzano (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Suzano”), entered into with the controlling shareholders of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria” and, jointly with Suzano, the “Companies”), Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A.—BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”) (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Fibria”), with Suzano as intervening consenting party, a Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, whereby the Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to exercise their voting rights to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring.

A corporate restructuring will be submitted to the shareholders of Suzano and of Fibria, which will result in the following: (a) the ownership, by Suzano, of all shares issued by Fibria; and (b) the receipt by the shareholders of Fibria, for each common share issued by Fibria, of (i) fifty-two reais and fifty centavos (R$ 52.50), adjusted by the variation in the CDI rate as from March 15, 2018 to the effective payment date, to be paid in one single installment on the consummation date of the transaction and (ii) 0.4611 common share issued by Suzano, also to be delivered on the consummation date of the transaction.

Eucalipto Holding S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano, was acquired with the purpose of facilitating the aforementioned business combination, as part of the corporate restructuring, which includes its merger into Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., as described in Note 2.

The shareholders of Fibria holding American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) will be entitled to receive ADRs in Suzano, observing the same exchange ratio. To do so, Suzano will adopt measures to obtain (i) the registry of the transaction (or the exemption thereof, as applicable) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and (ii) the listing of the ADRs of Suzano in the same listing segment of the New York Stock Exchange where the ADRs of Fibria currently are listed.

(This report is not deemed filed under the Securities Act of 1933)

 

Once the transaction is consummated, the shares and the ADRs issued by Fibria will no longer be traded on the B3 S.A. and on the New York Stock Exchange, respectively.

In accordance with the Voting Commitment, in the event that any restrictions imposed by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and/or other countries are excessively burdensome, Suzano may opt not to consummate the transaction, upon payment to Fibria of a break-up fee equivalent to R$ 750 million. The break-up fee may involve certain other conditions of non-consummation of the transaction, as expressly provided for in the Voting Commitment.

The consummation of the transaction requires the applicable corporate approvals and fulfillment of the conditions precedent envisaged in the Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, including approval by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and other countries.

The consummation date of the transaction will correspond to the 45th day as from publication of the corresponding notice to the market indicating that the conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies applied while preparing the balance sheet are presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents encompass balances in cash and banks and financial investments that mature within less than 90 days from the date of the transaction, and which are subject to insignificant risk of having their values changed.

Description of balances/adjustments:

 

(1)

Net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as of March 31, 2018, as described in Appendix I to the valuation report.

(2)

Suzano contributes R$ 29,043,056 thousand in cash to the Company upon subscription to new Common Shares in the Company.

(3)

The Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring that will result in Fibria being converted into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano. Assuming that Fibria’s total capital is represented, on the Consummation Date of the Transaction, by 553,201,072 common shares, ex-treasury, the shareholders of Fibria will receive (i) a portion in local currency of R$ 52.50 per share, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand and (ii) 255,000,000 new common shares issued by Suzano, whose market value on March 31, 2018 was R$ 33.36, which corresponds to an aggregate fair value of R$ 8,506,800 thousand. This consideration from Suzano will be paid through its subsidiary Eucalipto Holding S.A. Therefore, in the merger of Fibria shares into the Company, Fibria shareholders will receive redeemable preferred shares in the Company, whose redemption value corresponds to the promised value in cash mentioned above, and also will receive registered common shares in the Company, to be converted subsequently into 255,000,000 new shares in Suzano.

(4)

The shareholders of Fibria that came to hold redeemable preferred shares, immediately after the merger of Fibria shares, will redeem such shares in cash at their full value, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand, and the preferred shares will be cancelled.

(5)

By the end of stages 2 to 4 described above, the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. will be affected by these transactions. At this point, the Company is merged into Suzano, with its consequent dissolution; Fibria’s shareholders will receive, in substitution of their common shares issued by the Company, the new shares of Suzano, consequently migrating to the shareholder base of Suzano.

10 July 2018 3 Sector Analysis Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix Global Cellulose and Pulp Market 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder â–º Between 1990 and 2016, global pulp production grew by 11.0% (185.5 million tons) at a CAGR of 0.4%. However, within the period between 2007 and 2009, production was impacted by the international financial crisis, falling 11.3%. Consequently, with the increase of the world’s stocks, the companies reduced their productions. Since these events, the same pre-crisis levels have not been recovered. â–º The United States is the largest pulp producer in the world, representing 26.3% of the total market with 48.5 millions of tons produced in 2016. As a comparison, US production is triple that of Brazilian production. However, in recent years, the United States and Canada have fallen in production, due to the low competitiveness in the international market, compared with other countries that have gained space in this industry. â–º Of the total products derived from pulp, 31.5% are destined for export and the five largest global exporters are Brazil, Canada, Chile, Sweden and the United States, which represent 63.6% of total exports. In 2013, Brazil became the largest exporter, surpassing Canada, mainly to supply the growing Chinese demand, which is the largest importer of pulp in the world. Only China imports 33.0% of the total produced globally, which assists in supplying demand, not only in Brazil, but also in other South American and European countries. Between 2010 and 2016, Brazil tripled the value of its exports, while Chile, which became one of the main players in South America and a major global competitor due to the good adaptability of both eucalyptus and pine pulp production, grew 98.5% during that same period. â–º Another important aspect of the global pulp industry is the low price volatility of eucalyptus pulp in the international market, varying by 8.0% between 2000 and 2017, which is explained by the high flexibility of pulp producers to adjust the production required for pulp production. demand curve, the industry’s slight cost curve and market prices close to producers’ costs.

The country ranks second in the ranking of pulp producers of all types and first, if only eucalyptus pulp is considered. â–º There are two types of cellulose, with different physical and chemical characteristics. The Fibra Longa cellulose is used in the production of papers that demand more resistance, such as those used in packaging, paper and newspaper. The other type, called Short Fiber, derived mainly from eucalyptus, is used for the production of household papers (printing and writing) and sanitary purposes (toilet paper, paper towels and napkins). About 85.0% of the total Brazilian production corresponds to Fibra Curta pulp. â–º In 2017, Brazil had the 7th largest area of planted forests certified, covering 6.4 million hectares. In order to promote economic activities and guarantee supplies to local industries, in July 2017, the Government adopted the Annual Forest Granting Plan (PAOF) for 2018, offering a concession of 1.6 million hectares of public forests in the states of Amazonas, Amapá, Pará and Rondônia. Brazil’s competitiveness in this sector is explained, among others, by natural factors such as abundance of land and favorable climatic conditions / soil for planting eucalyptus trees (72.3% of the total area planted). â–º The increase in eucalyptus productivity in the country is a consequence of the high investment and development of innovations in the biotechnology, genetics and forest maintenance techniques. The result is a productivity gain of 30m3 per hectare per year since the 1970s. As a comparison, this productivity gain enabled the industry to use half of the eucalyptus plantation area for the supply used in China. The production of 1.5 million tons of pulp requires 140 thousand hectares in Brazil, one fifth of the area needed in Scandinavia.

In 2018, the growth trend continued in the first three months of the year. Between January and March, pulp production in the country was 5.3 million tons, up 13.0% on the same period last year. The total production value of Brazilian pulp will have a CAGR of 6.1% by the year 2022 due mainly to the increased participation of eucalyptus plantation in the product mix of the companies. â–º In 2017, the volume of pulp exports grew by 2.8% compared to the previous year, rising from 13.5 million tons to 13.9 million tons. The value of exports increased even more significantly, reaching US $ 6.4 billion in 2017, 14.1% higher than in 2016. The factors that supported this movement were the prices practiced in the international market combined with the devaluation of Real, which positively influenced the Source: Parallaxis competitiveness of the Brazilian product.

This expansion will be due to the strong demand for eucalyptus pulp in developed and developing countries and the low availability of pulp in the global market due to production inefficiencies and the start-up of new plants, especially in China. â–º Since 2013, Brazilian imports have fallen 51.0%, from 430 thousand to 211 thousand tons. Three factors impacted this change: the devaluation of the Real against the Dollar during this period (increasing exports), the growth of pulp production in the country and the development of resistance and use of short-fiber pulp. However, the trend is that imports of pulp will grow at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2017 and 2022, driven by the growing demand from the national pulp paper industry and the production used for the generation of high value products aggregate. â–º Domestic pulp consumption in 2017 grew 1.6% from 6.2 million to 6.3 million tons, mainly due to the recovery in paper production, which increased the use of raw materials in the domestic market.

Main assumption: As discussed with the Administration, the contingent liabilities were valued at fair value for purposes of the work performed. The Company accounts for the full amount of the lawsuits considered as probable loss by its lawyers. We have maintained this criterion. The Company is a party to the tax liability in cases where the likelihood of loss is considered possible (with a probability of loss estimated by the lawyers between 10% and 49%), in the total amount of R $ 1,165 million, for which there is no provision made. For these causes the criterion of recognition of 10% of the par value of the shares was adopted. Since the contingencies with probability of loss considered remote are not disclosed by the Company, no value was assigned to them. Recommendation of value Our recommendation for the fair value of possible contingent liabilities is BRL 116 million.

10 July 2018 7 Appendix Dashboard 6 Anexos 1 Sumário Executivo 7 Appendix b. Personal Property 2 Macroeconomia 3 Análise do Setor 4 A Empresa e a Transação 5 Avaliação do Patrimônio Personal Property The valuation of the personal property was performed following the standards promulgated by ABNT – Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, NBR 14.653 on its parts: 1 – Procedimentos Gerais – General Procedures; 5 – Máquinas, equipamentos, instalações e bens industriais em geral – Machinery, equipment, installation and general industrial assets; Valuation methodology selection and analysis We considered the cost approach and the methods that comprise this approaches. For the valuation of the personal property, the income approach was considered to be inappropriate and was not applied because individual income streams could not be allocated reasonably and effectively to each of the individual assets. Application of the cost approach Using this method we consider the value associated with installation, freight, engineering and nationalization, when applicable. In applying the cost approach, we first determined current replacement or reproduction cost (RCN) estimates for the assets by the direct and indirect methods, respectively. Estimates of RCN, by definition, include both direct and indirect costs associated with each asset including materials or equipment, freight, installation and commissioning labor. Calculation of the RCN under the direct method The initial step in our cost approach analysis was to develop a complete RCN estimate for the pulp production line, included in the scope of our analysis based on the technical data of equipment and production capacity metrics. Specifically for the pulp production lines, we developed a RCN based on contacting suppliers in order to obtain a turn key estimative, including all engineering, foundation and installation costs. This kind of estimative consists in obtain all the costs related to all machineries, installations, civil construction and all assets used to start a pulp production. As for the paper production lines, we obtained a RCN estimative trough external research, our internal databases, information contained in the assets list, data gathered during our site inspection and detailed information supplied in response to our request forms, also considering engineering, foundation, freight and installations costs, when applicable.

Personal Property 2 Macroeconomia 3 Análise do Setor 4 A Empresa e a Transação 5 Avaliação do Patrimônio Calculation of the reproduction cost new under the indirect method We have applied the indirect method of the cost approach to valuate the assets that were not valuated by the direct method of the cost approach. Under this method, the reproduction cost new (RCN) for each asset or group of assets was estimated by indexing historical costs recorded in the assets list based on asset type and acquisition date. These costs generally included the base cost of the asset, any additional considerations regarding freight, duty, local delivery, installation and commissioning and indirect costs such as engineering, procurement, construction management and borrowing costs as appropriate and applicable. The price adjustment/index factors used in our analysis were derived from inflation and monetary indices published by Getúlio Vargas Foundation for Brazil trends purposes and inflation. Physical deterioration and obsolescence As some of the assets have been in use over varying periods of time, it is reasonable to assume that an asset’s market value is something less than its replacement or reproduction cost new. Therefore, allowances were made to consider physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence, as they might apply. Physical deterioration Our estimation of physical deterioration was primarily conducted under the age/life concept. Under this concept, the physical loss in value is attributed to the relationship between the estimated useful life of an asset and its remaining useful life at a given point in time. The key definitions in this regard are as follows: â–º Normal useful life (NUL) – The life, usually in terms of years, that an asset will be used before it deteriorates to an unusable condition or is retired from service. â–º Chronological age (CA) – The portion of an asset’s life elapsed since it was originally placed into service. â–º Effective age (EA) – The age of an asset indicated by its actual condition, which may or may be not equal to the CA. â–º Remaining useful life (RUL) – The period over which an asset will remain in use before it is retired from service; The NUL estimations used in the valuation of the personal property were based on discussions with the respective engineering personnel of Suzano, our physical inspections, various published sources, and our experience valuing similar assets. Different physical deterioration profiles are known and widely used in practice that operate under the basic concepts outlined previously. In the cost approach analysis, we utilized the following physical deterioration curves: â–º Straight-line depreciation profile—A linear consumption of utility of an asset over its useful life Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.: Valuation of Shareholder’s Equity at Market price of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., as of March 31, 2018 | Page 43 of 59

Personal Property 2 Macroeconomia 3 Análise do Setor 4 A Empresa e a Transação 5 Avaliação do Patrimônio â–º Iowa-type survivor curves – Derived to measure the economic utility of an asset in relation to its economic life and consider allowances to accruing costs of routine maintenance and general upkeep of the assets. The Iowa curve method is based on a study and research conducted by Iowa State University. This method uses an age-life concept which measures the physical loss in value attributed to a reduction in the quality of a given type of asset remaining in service or use over a given period of time. The period of time is measured from the point at which the unit is first put into use until it is removed from service. In addition, as a consequence of wear and tear, an asset is increasingly more costly to operate over time and accruing maintenance costs result in a decrease in the overall utility of a given asset. In relation to the assets valuation, we considered the useful life, depreciation method and residual factor indicated in the following table: Depreciation Class NUL (Years) Hold Factor method Machinery and Equipment 20 Iowa (R2) 10% Agricultural Equipment 14 Iowa (R2) 10% Installations 18 Iowa (R2) 10% Tractors 10 Linear 10% Vehicles 10 Linear 30% Computer Equipment 5 Linear 3% Furniture and Fixtures 10 Linear 5% Functional obsolescence Functional obsolescence can be attributable to excess capital or operating costs associated with an asset or group of assets. Excess capital cost, which is the difference between reproduction and replacement cost, measures the decreased capital investment needed by a replacement asset to produce the same or similar output or product as that of the subject asset. This form of obsolescence is observable in newer technologies and construction costs that are typically less expensive than the current assets. Excess operating costs are based on the assumption that it is less expensive to operate and maintain replacement assets than to utilize the assets currently owned. Economic obsolescence Economic obsolescence is the loss in value caused by adverse conditions external to the assets, such as poor market demand for the product or service, industrial reorientation, unavailability of transportation and governmental regulation. Based on our analysis of historical production installed capacities we have not identified any additional economic obsolescence and as such have not made any further adjustments to the personal property with regard to economic obsolescence.

Real Property and Agricultural Properties 2 Macroeconomia 3 Análise do Setor 4 A Empresa e a Transação 5 Avaliação do Patrimônio Real Property The methods and procedures used to perform this engagement were based on the principles and guidelines established in the Brazilian standards published by ABNT—Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, NBR 14.653 in its parts: 1 – Procedimentos Gerais – General Procedures; 2 – Imóveis Urbanos – Urban Real Property; and 3 – Imóveis Rurais – Rural Real Property. According to these regulations, real estate properties can be evaluated based on the income approach method, involutive method, cost approach and the market approach methods, and also by the combination of the last two methods linked to a factor of commercialization. While all of these methods can be considered in the assessment, the type of the assets and the availability of data and information will dictate which method -or methods—will be used to estimate the market value of each asset. Market Approach This methodology is used when there is an active market of real estate properties in the region of the evaluated property and also the possibility of obtaining comparatives with characteristics that are similar to that one. Moreover, this method captures the loss of value of the asset from all the forms of depreciation inherent in it. Specifically in the case of real estate properties, an analysis is made in the real estate market of the region on recent sales or current offers of similar properties (comparative) to the real estate included in the present work. The comparatives obtained from the market are provided by a wide variety of sources, such as: property owners, real estate brokers, real estate agents and / or through public consultation sources. These assumptions are considered as “good and valid”. So, this method identifies the market value of an asset trough the technical treatment of attributes of the comparable elements constituents of the sample. In the market approach method by treatment by factors, the homogenization of the comparative sample is performed through factors and criteria for adjusting the differences between the property included in the analysis and the comparative ones, with the subsequent statistical analysis of the homogenized results. The choice of factors to be treated must be made so that they can be identified and analyzed in what way they influence the formation of real estate values. The treatment by factors is applied preferentially in homogeneous samples, that is, with characteristics that are closest possible to the property being evaluated. The adjustment factors were applied in order to consider the difference between the comparatives and the assets analyzed as detailed in the next page: Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.: Valuation of Shareholder’s Equity at Market price of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., as of March 31, 2018 | Page 45 of 59

Cost Approach In applying the cost method, the estimation of the substitution value or replacement or reproduction cost of the assets (RCN) using the direct or indirect methods is first determined. For the determination of the RCN of the buildings and improvements in the industrial sites the direct method was used and the indirect method for the buildings and improvements in the other localities. Calculation of the RCN under the direct method This method identifies the replacement cost new (RCN) of the buildings and Improvements by synthetic or analytical budgets from the quantities of services and its direct and indirect costs. We used the Cost Approach to estimate the fair value of buildings and improvements. The unitary costs were obtained from public sources such as Sinduscon, construction magazine PINI and SINAPI (Sistema Nacional de Pesquisa de Custos e Índices da Construção Civil). The initial step is to develop an estimate of RCN of each building and improvement through one or more unit costs, according to the procedure: â–º Basic Unit Cost (“Custo Unitário Básico – CUB”) R8N published by Sinduscon: the main indicator of the real estate sector, the Basic Unit Cost is calculated monthly by the Real Estate Industry Unions of each state. â–º PINI Building Cost (“Custo PINI de Edificação – CUPE”) published by PINI Magazine : Study of unit cost of buildings by PINI Magazine. â–º Unit costs published by SINAPI and PINI: where applicable, unit costs of materials and / or labor were used in the estimation of the RCN of improvements such as paving, railways or maritime ports, for example. For unitary costs published by Sinduscon, called CUB (“Custo Unitário Básico”), we performed adjustments according to the building type and construction characteristics, according to studies prepared by IBAPE São Paulo. The unit costs used refer to the valuation date of the work or to the date closest to it (if not disclosed for valuation date). BDI costs (percentage of benefits and indirect costs related to the direct cost of a construction or improvement), when applicable, were also included in the percentage of 25%. After the estimate of the RCN, the fair value is determined by applying a depreciation rate calculated, in general, according to the age and useful life of the asset. We have considered a normal useful life of buildings based on the Useful Life Study conducted by IBAPE. Calculation of the reproduction cost new under the indirect method We used the indirect cost method to evaluate assets that were not covered by the direct cost method. Under the indirect cost method, the new reproduction cost for each asset or group of assets was estimated by updating historical costs recorded in the accounting list of fixed assets, considering the type of asset, date of acquisition and the respective economic indexes . The adjustment factors / price index used in our analysis were obtained through the basic unit cost (CUB) variation for each state.

Remaining useful life (RUL) – The period over which an asset will remain in use before it is retired from service; Different physical deterioration profiles are known and widely used in practice that operate under the basic concepts outlined previously. In the Cost Approach analysis, we normally adopt the following physical deterioration profiles: â–º Straight-line depreciation profile—A linear consumption of utility of an asset over its useful life; â–º Ross-Heidecke—considers the maintenance conditions, the actual age and the useful life of the constructions. The methodology applied to estimate the physical deterioration of the buildings and improvements was the Ross-Heidecke method for the ones that the actual age was determined, and the Straight-line for those that the apparent age was considered. Functional Obsolescence Functional obsolescence can be attributable to excess capital or operating costs associated with an asset or group of assets. Economic obsolescence is the loss in value caused by adverse conditions external to the assets, such as poor market demand for the product or service, industrial reorientation, unavailability of transportation and governmental regulation. The methodology applied to estimate the physical deterioration of the buildings and improvements was the Ross-Heidecke method for the ones that the actual age was determined, and the Straight-line for those that the apparent age was considered. Based on our analysis and site inspections, we have not identified any additional economic and functional obsolescence, therefore, we have not made any further adjustments to the real property about these depreciations. * The details of the analysis such as the homogenization and building and improvements valuation are in an Excel file, integrant part of this report. .

In this approach, the value of the land was estimated using the market approach method. The resulting value of the land is added, when applicable, to the market value of buildings and improvements (calculated by cost approach method) to reach the total market value of the property.

In this way, this Report will be used to subsidize the value of Shareholders’ Equity of the market prices of Eucalipto at the time of the merger. In this context, our estimate of value should not be considered as investment advice or recommendation or any transaction involving the Company’s capital, fairness, or used for financing / raising funds, as well as any other purpose except as described above . This Report contemplates the objective, scope, procedures and methodologies used, as well as the main assumptions involved in calculating Fibria’s estimate of Shareholders’ Equity at market prices. We emphasize that we did not investigate independently, nor was any audit process applied to the information provided by Fibria, notably the Balance Sheet of the base date. It should be noted that the closing of the Transaction depends, among other precedent conditions, on the prior approval by the Brazilian Defense Authorities (CADE) and other specific countries.

Between 1990 and 2016, global pulp production grew by 11.0% (185.5 million tons) at a CAGR of 0.4%. However, within the period between 2007 and 2009, production was impacted by the international financial crisis, falling 11.3%. Consequently, with the increase of the world’s stocks, the companies reduced their productions. Since these events, the same pre-crisis levels have not been recovered. The United States is the largest pulp producer in the world, representing 26.3% of the total market with 48.5 millions of tons produced in 2016. As a comparison, US production is triple that of Brazilian production. However, in recent years, the United States and Canada have fallen in production, due to the low competitiveness in the international market, compared with other countries that have gained space in this industry. Of the total products derived from pulp, 31.5% are destined for export and the five largest global exporters are Brazil, Canada, Chile, Sweden and the United States, which represent 63.6% of total exports. In 2013, Brazil became the largest exporter, surpassing Canada, mainly to supply the growing Chinese demand, which is the largest importer of pulp in the world. Only China imports 33.0% of the total produced globally, which assists in supplying demand, not only in Brazil, but also in other South American and European countries. Between 2010 and 2016, Brazil tripled the value of its exports, while Chile, which became one of the main players in South America and a major global competitor due to the good adaptability of both eucalyptus and pine pulp production, grew 98.5% during that same period. Another important aspect of the global pulp industry is the low price volatility of eucalyptus pulp in the international market, varying by 8.0% between 2000 and 2017, which is explained by the high flexibility of pulp producers to adjust the production required for pulp production. demand curve, the industry’s slight cost curve and market prices close to producers’ costs.

10 July 2018 3 Sector Analysis Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix Cellulose in Brazil 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder Area of forests planted in In Brazil, the two main sources of wood used for pulp production are pine Brazil (thousands of hectors) and eucalyptus, accounting for more than 92.5% of the volume produced. The country ranks second in the ranking of pulp producers of all types and first, if only eucalyptus pulp is considered. There are two types of cellulose, with different physical and chemical characteristics. The Fibra Longa cellulose is used in the production of papers that demand more resistance, such as those used in packaging, paper and newspaper. The other type, called Short Fiber, derived mainly from eucalyptus, is used for the production of household papers (printing and writing) and sanitary purposes (toilet paper, paper towels and napkins). About 85.0% of the total Brazilian production corresponds to Fibra Curta pulp. In 2017, Brazil had the 7th largest area of planted forests certified, covering 6.4 million hectares. In order to promote economic activities and guarantee supplies to local industries, in July 2017, the Government adopted the Annual Forest Granting Plan (PAOF) for 2018, offering a concession of 1.6 million hectares of public forests in the states of Amazonas, Amapá, Pará and Rondônia. Brazil’s competitiveness in this sector is explained, among others, by natural factors such as abundance of land and favorable climatic conditions / soil for planting eucalyptus trees (72.3% of the total area planted). The increase in eucalyptus productivity in the country is a consequence of the high investment and development of innovations in the biotechnology, genetics and forest maintenance techniques. The result is a productivity gain of 30m3 per hectare per year since the 1970s. As a comparison, this productivity gain enabled the industry to use half of the eucalyptus plantation area for the supply used in China. The production of 1.5 million tons of pulp requires 140 thousand hectares in Brazil, one fifth of the area needed in Scandinavia.

Between 2015 and 2016, São Paulo and Minas Gerais had decreases in eucalyptus production of 3.1% and 0.4%, respectively. In contrast, Mato Grosso do Sul and Tocantins had growths of 323.0% and 439.0% between the years 2007 and 2016, with CAGR of 15.5% and 20.6%, respectively.

If we only consider the period between 2007 and 2017, the growth was 61.9%, with output jumping from 12.0 to 19.4 million tons. In 2018, the growth trend continued in the first three months of the year. Between January and March, pulp production in the country was 5.3 million tons, up 13.0% on the same period last year. The total production value of Brazilian pulp will have a CAGR of 6.1% by the year 2022 due mainly to the increased participation of eucalyptus plantation in the product mix of the companies. In 2017, the volume of pulp exports grew by 2.8% compared to the previous year, rising from 13.5 million tons to 13.9 million tons. The value of exports increased even more significantly, reaching US $ 6.4 billion in 2017, 14.1% higher than in 2016. The factors that supported this movement were the prices practiced in the international market combined with the devaluation of Real, which positively influenced the Source: Parallaxis competitiveness of the Brazilian product. The growth in Chinese and US demand for Brazilian pulp also ensured maintenance levels of Brazilian Projection of exportation of cellulose (US$ millions) exports despite the weakening of the European market.

This expansion will be due to the strong demand for eucalyptus pulp in developed and developing countries and the low availability of pulp in the global market due to production inefficiencies and the start-up of new plants, especially in China. Since 2013, Brazilian imports have fallen 51.0%, from 430 thousand to 211 thousand tons. Three factors impacted this change: the devaluation of the Real against the Dollar during this period (increasing exports), the growth of pulp production in the country and the development of resistance and use of short-fiber pulp. However, the trend is that imports of pulp will grow at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2017 and 2022, driven by the growing demand from the national pulp paper industry and the production used for the generation of high value products aggregate. Domestic pulp consumption in 2017 grew 1.6% from 6.2 million to 6.3 million tons, mainly due to the recovery in paper production, which increased the use of raw materials in the domestic market. Domestic Source: EMIS demand corresponds to 33.0% of production, with 94.0% coming from domestic production and only 6.0% from other countries.

Main assumptions: The composition of the intangible asset is presented above. For goodwill related to the future profitability of Aracruz, due to the methodology for calculating Shareholders’ Equity at market prices which considers assets individually, and to the fact that goodwill for future profitability does not individually have market value, this asset has been written off . It should be noted, however, that this goodwill has part of its value reflected in the market price adjustment of the assets of the Aracruz Unit recorded in Fibria’s consolidated balance sheet. As for the costs of developing and deploying the system, these also have no market value, so they have also been eliminated from the balance of intangible assets.

In the statements for Q1 2018, the Management reports that there were no material changes in the lawsuits in progress. Main assumptions: As discussed with management, the contingent liabilities were valued at fair value for purposes of the work performed. For contingencies of a labor nature, the Company discloses that it accounts for the totality of shares based on the historical percentage of losses. In this way, we understand that there is no value adjustment in this case. For tax and civil contingencies, the Company accounts for the total amount of cases considered as probable loss by its lawyers. We maintained this criteria for probable contingencies and, for those considered with possible loss (with a probability of loss estimated by the lawyers between 10% and 49%), the recognition criterion was determined as 10% of the adjusted fair value of the shares. Since the contingencies with loss considered remote are not disclosed by the Company, no value has been assigned to them. Value recommendation Our recommendation for the preliminary fair value of possible contingent liabilities is BRL 975 millions.

10 July 2018 7 Appendix Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix b. Personal Property 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder Personal Property The valuation of the personal property was performed following the standards promulgated by ABNT – Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, NBR 14.653 on its parts: 1 – Procedimentos Gerais – General Procedures; 5 – Máquinas, equipamentos, instalações e bens industriais em geral – Machinery, equipment, installation and general industrial assets; Valuation methodology selection and analysis We considered the cost approach and the methods that comprise this approaches. For the valuation of the personal property, the income Approach was considered to be inappropriate and was not used because individual income streams could not be allocated reasonably and effectively to each of the individual assets. Application of the cost approach Using this method we consider the value associated with installation, freight, engineering and nationalization where applicable. In applying the cost approach, we first determined current replacement or reproduction cost estimates for the applicable assets using the direct and indirect methods, respectively. Estimates of RCN, by definition, include both direct and indirect costs associated with each asset including materials or equipment, freight, installation and commissioning labor. Calculation of the RCN under the direct method The initial step in our cost approach analysis was to develop a complete RCN estimate for the pulp production line, included in the scope of our analysis based on the technical data of equipment and production capacity metrics. For the pulp production lines, we developed a RCN based on contacting suppliers in order to obtain a turn key estimative, including all engineering, foundation and installation costs. This kind of estimative consists in obtain all the costs related to all machineries, installations, civil construction and all assets used to start a pulp production. Calculation of the reproduction cost new under the indirect method We have applied the indirect method of the cost approach to value the assets that were not valued by the direct method of the cost approach. Under this method, the reproduction cost new for each asset or group of assets was estimated by indexing historical costs recorded in the assets list based on asset type and acquisition date. These costs generally included the base cost of the asset, any additional considerations regarding freight, duty, local delivery, installation and commissioning and indirect costs such as engineering, procurement, construction management and borrowing costs as appropriate and applicable. The price adjustment/index factors used in our analysis were derived from inflation and monetary indices published by Getúlio Vargas Foundation for Brazil trends purposes and inflation.

10 July 2018 7 Appendix Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix b. Personal Property 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder Physical deterioration and obsolescence As some of the assets have been in use over varying periods of time, it is reasonable to assume that an asset’s market value is something less than its replacement or reproduction cost new. Therefore, allowances were made for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence as they might apply. Physical deterioration Our estimation of physical deterioration was primarily conducted under the age/life concept. Under this concept, the physical loss in value is attributed to the relationship between the estimated useful life of an asset and its remaining useful life at a given point in time. The key definitions in this regard are as follows: Normal useful life (NUL) – The life, usually in terms of years, that an asset will be used before it deteriorates to an unusable condition or is retired from service. Chronological age (CA) – The portion of an asset’s life elapsed since it was originally placed into service. Effective age (EA) – The age of an asset indicated by its actual condition, which may or may be not equal to the CA. Remaining useful life (RUL) – The period over which an asset will remain in use before it is retired from service; The NUL estimations used in the valuation of the personal property were based on discussions with the respective engineering personnel of Fibria, our physical inspections, various published sources, and our experience valuing similar assets. Different physical deterioration profiles are known and widely used in practice that operate under the basic concepts outlined previously. In the cost approach analysis, we utilized the following physical deterioration curves: Straight-line depreciation profile—A linear consumption of utility of an asset over its useful life Iowa-type survivor curves – Derived to measure the economic utility of an asset in relation to its economic life and consider allowances to accruing costs of routine maintenance and general upkeep of the assets. The Iowa curve method is based on a study and research conducted by Iowa State University. This method uses an age-life concept which measures the physical loss in value attributed to a reduction in the quality of a given type of asset remaining in service or use over a given period of time. The period of time is measured from the point at which the unit is first put into use until it is removed from service. In addition, as a consequence of wear and tear, an asset is increasingly more costly to operate over time and accruing maintenance costs result in a decrease in the overall utility of a given asset.

10 July 2018 7 Appendix Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix b. Personal Property 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder In relation to the assets valuation, we considered the useful life, depreciation method and residual factor indicated in the following table: Depreciation Class UL (Years) Hold Factor Method Machinery and Equipment 20 Iowa (R2) 10% Agricultural Equipment 8 Iowa (R2) 10% Installations 20 Iowa (R2) 10% Vehicles 5 Linear 30% Computer Equipment 5 Linear 3% Tools 5 Linear 5% Furniture and Fixtures 10 Linear 5% Softwares 5 Linear 3% Functional obsolescence Functional obsolescence can be attributable to excess capital or operating costs associated with an asset or group of assets. Excess capital cost, which is the difference between reproduction and replacement cost, measures the decreased capital investment needed by a replacement asset to produce the same or similar output or product as that of the subject asset. This form of obsolescence is observable in newer technologies and construction costs that are typically less expensive than the current assets. Excess operating costs are based on the assumption that it is less expensive to operate and maintain replacement assets than to utilize the assets currently owned. Economic obsolescence Economic obsolescence is the loss in value caused by adverse conditions external to the assets, such as poor market demand for the product or service, industrial reorientation, unavailability of transportation and governmental regulation. Based on our analysis of historical production installed capacities we have not identified any additional economic obsolescence and as such have not made any further adjustments to the personal property with regard to economic obsolescence.

10 July 2018 7 Appendix Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix c. Real Property and Agricultural Properties 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder Real Property The methods and procedures used to perform this engagement were based on the principles and guidelines established in the Brazilian standards published by ABNT—Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, NBR 14.653 in its parts: 1 – Procedimentos Gerais – General Procedures; 2 – Imóveis Urbanos – Urban Real Property; and 3 – Imóveis Rurais – Rural Real Property. According to these regulations, real estate properties can be evaluated based on the income approach method, involutive method, cost approach method and the market approach method, and also by the combination of the last two methods being linked to a factor of commercialization. While all of these methods can be considered in the assessment, the type of the assets and the availability of data and information will dictate which method -or methods—will be used to estimate the market value of each asset. Market Approach This methodology is used when there is an active market of real estate properties in the region of the evaluated property and also the possibility of obtaining comparatives with characteristics that are similar to that one. Moreover, this method captures the loss of value of the asset from all the forms of depreciation inherent in it. Specifically in the case of real estate properties, an analysis is made in the real estate market of the region on recent sales or current offers of similar properties (comparative) to the real estate included in the present work. The comparatives obtained from the market are provided by a wide variety of sources, such as: property owners, real estate brokers, real estate agents and / or through public consultation sources. These assumptions are considered as “good and valid”. This method identifies the market value of an asset by means of the technical treatment of attributes of the comparable elements constituents of the sample. In the market approach method by treatment by factors, the homogenization of the comparative sample is performed through factors and criteria for adjusting the differences between the property included in the analysis and the comparative ones, with the subsequent statistical analysis of the homogenized results. The choice of factors to be treated must be made so that they can be identified and analyzed in what way they influence the formation of real estate values. The treatment by factors is applied preferentially in homogeneous samples, that is, with characteristics that are closest possible to the property being evaluated. The adjustment factors were applied in order to consider the difference between the comparatives and the assets analyzed as detailed in the next page: Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.: Valuation of Shareholders’ Equity at the market price of Fibria Celulose S.A., on the base date of March 31, 2018. | Page 47 de 65

10 July 2018 7 Appendix Dashboard 6 Exhibits 1 Executive Summary 7 Appendix c. Real Property and Agricultural Properties 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder Cost Approach In applying the cost method, the estimation of the substitution value or replacement or reproduction cost of the assets (RCN) using the direct or indirect methods is first determined. For the determination of the RCN of the buildings and improvements in the industrial sites the direct method was used and the indirect method for the buildings and improvements in the other localities. Calculation of the RCN under the direct method This method identifies the replacement cost new (RCN) of the buildings and Improvements by synthetic or analytical budgets from the quantities of services and its direct and indirect costs. We used the Cost Approach to estimate the fair value of buildings and improvements. The unitary costs were obtained from public sources such as Sinduscon, construction magazine PINI and SINAPI (Sistema Nacional de Pesquisa de Custos e Índices da Construção Civil). The initial step is to develop an estimate of RCN of each building and improvement through one or more unit costs, according to the procedure: Basic Unit Cost (“Custo Unitário Básico – CUB”) R8N published by Sinduscon: the main indicator of the real estate sector, the Basic Unit Cost is calculated monthly by the Real Estate Industry Unions of each state. PINI Building Cost (“Custo PINI de Edificação – CUPE”) published by PINI Magazine : Study of unit cost of buildings by PINI Magazine. Unit costs published by SINAPI and PINI: where applicable, unit costs of materials and / or labor were used in the estimation of the RCN of improvements such as paving, railways or maritime ports, for example. For unitary costs published by Sinduscon, called CUB (“Custo Unitário Básico”), we performed adjustments according to the building type and construction characteristics, according to studies prepared by IBAPE São Paulo. The unit costs used refer to the valuation date of the work or to the date closest to it (if not disclosed for valuation date). BDI costs (percentage of benefits and indirect costs related to the direct cost of a construction or improvement), when applicable, were also included in the percentage of 25%. After the estimate of the RCN, the fair value is determined by applying a depreciation rate calculated, in general, according to the age and useful life of the asset.

Under this concept, the physical loss in value is attributed to the relation between the estimated useful life of an asset and its remaining useful life at a given point in time. The key definitions in this regard are as follows: Normal useful life (NUL) – The life, usually in terms of years, that an asset will be used before it deteriorates to an unusable condition or is retired from service. Chronological age (CA) – The portion of an asset’s life elapsed since it was originally placed into service. Effective age (EA) – The age of an asset indicated by its actual condition, which may or may be not equal to the CA. Conservation – “situation of the physical characteristics of a property, at a certain moment, as a result of its use and the maintenance to which it was submitted. “ . Remaining useful life (RUL) – The period over which an asset will remain in use before it is retired from service; Different physical deterioration profiles are known and widely used in practice that operate under the basic concepts outlined previously. In the Cost Approach analysis, we normally adopt the following physical deterioration profiles: Straight-line depreciation profile—A linear consumption of utility of an asset over its useful life; Ross-Heidecke—considers the maintenance conditions, the actual age and the useful life of the constructions. The methodology applied to estimate the physical deterioration of the buildings and improvements was the Ross-Heidecke method for the ones that the actual age was determined, and the Straight-line for those that the apparent age was considered. Functional obsolescence can be attributable to excess capital or operating costs associated with an asset or group of assets. Economic obsolescence is the loss in value caused by adverse conditions external to the assets, such as poor market demand for the product or service, industrial reorientation, unavailability of transportation and governmental regulation. The methodology applied to estimate the physical deterioration of the buildings and improvements was the Ross-Heidecke method for the ones that the actual age was determined, and the Straight-line for those that the apparent age was considered. Based on our analysis and site inspections, we have not identified any additional economic and functional obsolescence, therefore, we have not made any further adjustments to the real property about these depreciations. The details of the analysis such as the homogenization and building and improvements valuation are in an Excel file, integrant part of this report.

Real Estate Properties Assumptions | Urban Properties 2 Macroeconomic Analysis 3 Sector Analysis 4 The Company and the 5 Valuation of Shareholder Selection and analysis of the evaluation methodology In the context of the valuation of urban properties, the market approach combined with the cost approach method was based on the provision that the property value is significantly associated with its physical characteristics, and that it would pay no more for the installation than the cost to build a similar facility on the market current in a similar property. In this approach, the value of the land was estimated using the market approach method. The resulting value of the land is added, when applicable, to the market value of buildings and improvements (calculated by cost approach method) to reach the total market value of the property. Thus, for the market approach method, adjustment factors were applied in order to consider the difference between the comparatives and the assets analyzed.

Scope of the works and responsibility

of the independent auditor

 

4

Our responsibility is to issue an opinion on the net book value of the Company at March 31, 2018, based on the work performed in accordance with Technical Notice 03/2014 (R1), issued by the Brazilian Instituteof Independent Auditors (IBRACON) and approved by the Federal Accounting Board throughCTA 20/2014 (R1), which provides for the application of audit procedures to the balance sheet. Therefore, our examination of the Company’s balance sheet was conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international audit standards, which demand compliance with ethical requirements by the auditors and that the audit be planned and executed with the objective of obtaining reasonable assurance that the net book value assessed in our valuation report is free of material misstatements.

 

5

An audit process involves selected procedures to obtain evidence of the assessed amounts. The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the auditor, including the assessment of risks of material misstatements in the net book value, whether caused by fraud or error. In such risk assessment, the auditor considers the internal controls material for the preparation of the Company’s balance sheet in planning the audit procedures deemed appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of rendering an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal controls of the Company. We also assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusion

 

6

Based on our work, we concluded that the amount of R$ 200.00, as per the balance sheet of March 31, 2018, recorded on the accounting books and summarized in Appendix I, represents, in all material aspects, the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A., assessed in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Emphasis of matter

 

7

As described in Note 1 of Appendix II to this valuation report, the merger of Eucalipto Holding S.A. into Suzano is part of the corporate restructuring process in the context of the business combination described therein, which is subject to certain conditions.

1

Basis for preparation of the balance sheet and summary of the main accounting policies

The balance sheet of March 31, 2018 was prepared for the assessment of the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Company”), in the context of the merger of the Company into Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (“Suzano”) on a future date, in accordance with the terms of Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, as described below.

The balance sheet of March 31, 2018 was prepared and is presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC).

 

(a)

Corporate events

Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations

On March 15, 2018, Suzano Holding S.A., jointly with the other controlling shareholders of Suzano (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Suzano”), entered into with the controlling shareholders of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria” and, jointly with Suzano, the “Companies”), Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A.—BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”) (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Fibria”), with Suzano as intervening consenting party, a Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, whereby the Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to exercise their voting rights to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring.

A corporate restructuring will be submitted to the shareholders of Suzano and of Fibria, which will result in the following: (a) the ownership, by Suzano, of all shares issued by Fibria; and (b) the receipt by the shareholders of Fibria, for each common share issued by Fibria, of (i) fifty-two reais and fifty centavos (R$ 52.50), adjusted by the variation in the CDI rate as from March 15, 2018 to the effective payment date, to be paid in one single installment on the consummation date of the transaction and (ii) 0.4611 common share issued by Suzano, also to be delivered on the consummation date of the transaction.

Eucalipto Holding S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano, was acquired with the purpose of facilitating the aforementioned business combination, as part of the corporate restructuring, which includes its merger into Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., as described in Note 2.

The shareholders of Fibria holding American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) will be entitled to receive ADRs in Suzano, observing the same exchange ratio. To do so, Suzano will adopt measures to obtain (i) the registry of the transaction (or the exemption thereof, as applicable) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and (ii) the listing of the ADRs of Suzano in the same listing segment of the New York Stock Exchange where the ADRs of Fibria currently are listed.

(This report is not deemed filed under the Securities Act of 1933)

 

Once the transaction is consummated, the shares and the ADRs issued by Fibria will no longer be traded on the B3 S.A. and on the New York Stock Exchange, respectively.

In accordance with the Voting Commitment, in the event that any restrictions imposed by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and/or other countries are excessively burdensome, Suzano may opt not to consummate the transaction, upon payment to Fibria of a break-up fee equivalent to R$ 750 million. The break-up fee may involve certain other conditions of non-consummation of the transaction, as expressly provided for in the Voting Commitment.

The consummation of the transaction requires the applicable corporate approvals and fulfillment of the conditions precedent envisaged in the Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, including approval by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and other countries.

The consummation date of the transaction will correspond to the 45th day as from publication of the corresponding notice to the market indicating that the conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

 

(b)

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies applied while preparing the balance sheet are presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents encompass balances in cash and banks and financial investments that mature within less than 90 days from the date of the transaction, and which are subject to insignificant risk of having their values changed.

Merger of Eucalipto Holding—unaudited

The following table describes the pro forma accounting balance sheet, as per the pro forma individual balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. and corresponding limited assurance report of the independent auditor, issued on July 10, 2018, that would be submitted for the merger into Suzano, considering that the condition precedent of the business combination had been fulfilled on March 31, 2018.

Description of balances/adjustments:

 

(1)

Net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as of March 31, 2018, as described in Appendix I to the valuation report.

(2)

Suzano contributes R$ 29,043,056 thousand in cash to the Company upon subscription to new Common Shares in the Company.

(3)

The Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring that will result in Fibria being converted into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano. Assuming that Fibria’s total capital is represented, on the Consummation Date of the Transaction, by 553,201,072 common shares, ex-treasury, the shareholders of Fibria will receive (i) a portion in local currency of R$ 52.50 per share, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand and (ii) 255,000,000 new common shares issued by Suzano, whose market value on March 31, 2018 was R$ 33.36, which corresponds to an aggregate fair value of R$ 8,506,800 thousand. This consideration from Suzano will be paid through its subsidiary Eucalipto Holding S.A. Therefore, in the merger of Fibria shares into the Company, Fibria shareholders will receive redeemable preferred shares in the Company, whose redemption value corresponds to the promised value in cash mentioned above, and also will receive registered common shares in the Company, to be converted subsequently into 255,000,000 new shares in Suzano.

(4)

The shareholders of Fibria that came to hold redeemable preferred shares, immediately after the merger of Fibria shares, will redeem such shares in cash at their full value, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand, and the preferred shares will be cancelled.

(5)

By the end of stages 2 to 4 described above, the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. will be affected by these transactions. At this point, the Company is merged into Suzano, with its consequent dissolution; Fibria’s shareholders will receive, in substitution of their common shares issued by the Company, the new shares of Suzano, consequently migrating to the shareholder base of Suzano.

The above final pro forma balance represents the net book value of the Company, to be merged into Suzano, if the condition precedent of the business combination, as described in Note 1, had been fulfilled on March 31, 2018. The actual amounts of the merger, if and when it is concluded, will vary in relation to the pro forma balance described above, especially in relation to: (i) the updated amount of paid-in capital; and (ii) the number and fair value of Suzano shares to be given to Fibria shareholders, both determined on the consummation date of the transaction.

Company Information

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., hereinafter referred to as the “Suzano”, together with its subsidiaries hereinafter referred to as “Company”, with registered office in the city of Salvador, state of Bahia, Brazil, is a corporation whose shares are traded on B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”).

Suzano has five (5) industrial units in Brazil: one each in Bahia and Maranhão and three in São Paulo. These industrial units produce hardwood pulp from eucalyptus, paper (coated paper, paperboard, uncoated paper and cut size paper) and jumbo rolls of sanitary paper (consumer goods—tissue) to serve the domestic and international markets, in addition to generating energy for the Company’s consumption and selling surplus energy to third parties. Pulp, paper and consumer gods are sold in the international market directly by Suzano, as well as through its subsidiaries in Argentina, the United States and Switzerland and its sales offices in China and England.

The Company’s corporate purpose also includes the commercial operation of eucalyptus forest for its own use and for sale to third parties, the operation of port terminals, and the holding of interest, as partner or shareholder, in any other company or project.

The Company is controlled by Suzano Holding S.A., through a Voting Agreement whereby it holds 50.04% of the common shares of its share capital.

The issue of this quarterly information was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 26, 2018.

 

  1.1

Major events in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018

 

  a)

Operational events

 

  i)

Acquisition of land and forests in the state of São Paulo

On February 5, 2018, Suzano entered into an Agreement for the Purchase of Forestry Assets, Purchase of Rural Properties, Purchase Option and Other Covenants, with Conditions Precedent, with Duratex S.A. (“Duratex”), through itself or its affiliates, under which:

(i) it acquired around nine thousand and five hundred (9,500) hectares of rural land and one million and two hundred thousand cubic meters (1,200,000 m³) of forests, which reflects the potential of production of existing and already implemented forests in the areas acquired, in the central region of the state of São Paulo, for R$ 308.1 million; and (ii) it acquired an option to purchase approximately twenty thousand (20,000) hectares of rural properties in the same region and five million and six hundred thousand (5,600,000) cubic meters of forests, which reflects the potential of production of existing and already implemented forests in the properties subject-matter of the portion, for the price of R$ 749.4 million, with the option able to be exercised, at the sole discretion of Suzano, through July 2, 2018.

Brazil’s antitrust authority CADE approved the operation on April 4, 2018.

  ii)

Export prepayment facility

On February 8, 2018, the Company contracted, through its wholly owned subsidiary Suzano Pulp and Paper Europe S.A. (“Suzano Europe”), an export prepayment facility, structured in a syndicated form, amounting to US$ 750 million, with final maturity of 5 years and grace period of 3 years, which has Suzano and Suzano Trading Ltd. (“Suzano Trading”), another subsidiary of Suzano, as guarantors.

The proceeds will be used to settle the export prepayment transaction contracted on May 14, 2015, in the amount of US$600 million and to finance export operations.

The new operation reduces borrowing cost in U.S. dollar, lengthens the average debt term and eliminates financial covenants.

 

  b)

Corporate events

 

  i)

Voting Commitment and assumption of obligations

On March 15, 2018, Suzano Holding S.A., jointly with other controlling shareholders of the Company (collectively, the “Controlling Shareholders of the Company”), entered into with the controlling shareholders of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria” and, jointly with Suzano, the “Companies”), Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A. – BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”) (collectively the “Controlling Shareholders of Fibria”) and with Suzano as intervening consenting party, a Commitment to Vote and Assumption of Obligations, whereby the Controlling Shareholders of the Company and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to exercise their voting rights to combine the operations and shareholding base of the Company and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring.

The corporate restructuring will be submitted to the shareholders of each of the Companies, which will result in the following: a) the ownership, by Suzano, of all the shares issued by Fibria; and (b) the receipt by the shareholders of Fibria, for each common share issued by Fibria, of (i) fifty-two reais and fifty cents (R$ 52.50), adjusted in accordance with CDI from March 15, 2018 to the effective payment date, to be paid in a single installment on the date of completion of the merger; and (ii) 0.4611 common shares of Suzano, to be delivered on the date of completion of the merger.

Shareholders of Fibria holding American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) will be entitled to receive Suzano ADSs, in accordance with the same exchange ratio.

In connection with the delivery of Suzano shares and Suzano ADSs to holders of Fibria

shares and Fibria ADSs, respectively, Suzano will (i) register the Suzano shares to be delivered (unless an exemption from such registration is available) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and (ii) apply to list the Suzano ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange where Fibria’s ADSs are currently listed.

Once the transaction is consummated, the shares and ADSs issued by Fibria will no longer be traded on B3 S.A. and the New York Stock Exchange, respectively.

In accordance with the Voting Commitment, if any restrictions imposed by antitrust authorities in Brazil and/or other countries are too burdensome, as determined by the production capacity of any required divestiture, Suzano may choose not to consummate the transaction, upon payment to Fibria of a break-up fee equivalent to R$750 million. The break-up fee is also payable upon the non-completion of the merger as a result of certain other circumstances, as set forth in the Voting Commitment.

In the context of the transaction and subject to the closing of the transaction, on March 15th, 2018, the Controlling Shareholders of the Company entered into a Voting Agreement and other covenants with BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR Voting Agreement”), establishing certain governance and financial commitments to be complied with by the Company and limiting the transfer of certain shares issued by the Company and held by the Controlling Shareholders of the Company.

Suzano has secured firm financing commitments from certain international financial institutions for a total amount of US$9.2 billion, the disbursement of which is conditioned, among other things, on the completion of the merger. Proceeds from said financing will be used to finance a part of the cash consideration paid to holders of Fibria securities and the combined exports of the companies.

Completion of the merger is subject to typical conditions precedent for transactions of this nature, including approval by antitrust authorities in Brazil and abroad.

 

  ii)

Acquisition of company in Tissue segment (Facepa)

On January 19, 2018, Brazil’s antitrust agency CADE approved without restrictions the acquisition of around 92.84% of the total capital of the mill of Facepa – Fábrica de Papel da Amazônia (“Facepa”) by Suzano.

On March 1, 2018, once all the conditions precedent were implemented and all the approvals obtained from competent government authorities, the direct and indirect acquisition of approximately 92.84% of the total capital and 99.99% of the common capital of Facepa was concluded. Suzano acquired 100% of the control of AGFA—Comércio, Administração e Participações Ltda. (“AGFA”), which holds 28.8% of Facepa, and directly acquired 64.0% from the controlling shareholders of Facepa, thus totaling 92.8%. AGFA is a company with no commercial operation and whose balance sheet basically includes the investment in Facepa.

With the acquisition, in addition to Facepa’s units in Belém (PA) and Fortaleza (CE), the Company already operates its own sanitary paper units in Mucuri (BA) and Imperatriz (MA).

The amount paid for the acquisition was R$267,876, made on the date of the acquisition and a contingent amount of R$40,000, which is conditioned on the non-materialization of indemnifiable losses by the sellers, totaling R$307,876. Since Facepa was recently acquired, the Purchase Allocation Price is still being determined and hence the complete disclosure related to the business combination will be concluded by the end of the year.

  iii)

Acquisition of company in the energy segment (PCH Mucuri)

On February 19, 2018, after the fulfillment of all the conditions precedent and after approval was obtained from competent government authorities, the operation with Queiroz Galvão Energia S.A. for the acquisition of all the shares issued by Mucuri Energética S.A. (“PCH Mucuri”) was concluded. PCH Mucuri owns a small hydroelectric plant located in the cities of Carlos Chagas and Pavão.

The amount paid for the acquisition was R$41,996 on the date of conclusion of the acquisition. Since PCH Mucuri was recently acquired, the Purchase Allocation Price is still being determined and hence the complete disclosure related to the business combination will be concluded by the end of the year.

Presentation of the Quarterly information

 

  2.1

Preparation basis and presentation

The parent company and consolidated quarterly information was prepared and is presented in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) Interim Statements and the international standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, following the provisions in Central Bank Circular/CVM/SNC/SEP 003/2011 dated April 28, 2011.

The quarterly information was prepared using the historical cost as the basis of value, except for certain financial assets and liabilities and biological assets that are measured at fair value.

The Company affirms that all the information relevant to its quarterly information is reported and that it corresponds to that used by the Management for its administration.

 

  2.1.1

Consolidated quarterly information

The consolidated quarterly information was prepared based on the information provided by Suzano and its subsidiaries on the reference date, as well as in accordance with consistent accounting practices and policies, except for Futuragene PLC, whose reference date is February 28, 2018, but whose information does not have significant impact on consolidated result. Regarding Facepa, acquired on March 1, 2018, there was on consolidation of the results of the one-month period ended March 31, 2018, although the effect would not be relevant in the period.

The subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date of ownership control up to the date control ceases to exist. In the case of joint control (joint venture) with other companies, these investments are measured by the equity method for both the individual and consolidated quarterly information.

In the consolidation process, the balances in the balance sheet and income statement accounts corresponding to the transactions carried out with subsidiaries are eliminated, as well as the unrealized gains and losses and the investments in these subsidiaries and their respective equity accounting results.

The Company prepared the individual and consolidated Statement of Value Added as part of the quarterly information, as required by the Brazilian corporate law and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added.

Critical Accounting Practices

The quarterly information was prepared using accounting practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements at December 31, 2017, except for the application of the new accounting standards as of January 1, 2018, although, despite the application, there was no material impact on the quarterly information, as mentioned in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017. This information should be considered jointly with the annual financial statements.

3.1 New standards, revisions and interpretations not yet in force

IASB issued and approved the following accounting standards/interpretations that are not yet effective and the Company did not early adopt them for the preparation of this quarterly information.

The Management evaluated or is evaluating and measuring the impacts of adopting the following standards/interpretations:

i) IFRS 16 – Leases – It replaces IAS 17 and essentially requires that lessees recognize future payments in their liabilities and the right to use a leased item in assets for practically all lease agreements. Therefore, financial lease and operating lease agreements receive similar accounting treatment, although certain short-term leases or those for small amounts are outside the scope of this standard. This standard will be effective as of January 1, 2019.

The Company, based on preliminary assessments, believes that the biggest impact produced by this standard is related to the recognition in the balance sheet of the lease agreements of land used to plant eucalyptus forests, with terms of up to 3 cycles of forest formation, around 21 years (Note 20.3 i)), but for the reporting date, the Company was still analyzing these and other lease agreements, as well as the transition criterion to be adopted to implement the new Standard.

ii) IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments – Clarifies the accounting of tax positions that have not yet been accepted by tax authorities. Both IAS 12/CPC 32 Income Taxes and the new interpretation IFRIC 23 apply only to Income Tax and Social Contribution. IFRIC 23 does not introduce new disclosures, but reinforces the need to comply with certain reporting requirements on (i) judgments made; (ii) assumptions or other estimates used; and (iii) potential impact of uncertainties that are not reflected in the financial statements. This standard will be effective as of January 1, 2019.

The Company is assessing the changes introduced by this new interpretation and, based on analyses made until the closing of this quarterly information, did not identify any major changes that cause any impact on its quarterly information.

Financial Instruments and Risks

4.1 Management of financial risks

a) Overview

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, there were no significant changes in the financial risk management policies and procedures compared to those reported in Note 4 to the financial statements of December 31, 2017.

The main financial risk factors considered by Management are:

 

   

Liquidity risk;

 

   

Credit risk;

 

   

Currency risk;

 

   

Interest rate risks.

The Company does not adopt hedge accounting. Therefore, all results (gains and losses) from derivative operations (settled and outstanding) are fully recognized in the Parent company and Consolidated statements of income of the periods, as presented in Note 26.

b) Valuation

All operations with financial instruments are recognized in the Company’s quarterly information, as shown below. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the subsequent measurement of financial instruments did not change in relation to last year.

Sensitivity analysis – foreign exchange exposure

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to jointly evaluate the long and short positions in foreign currency, and the possible effects on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the translation into Brazilian reais on the base date of the balance sheet.

The other scenarios were created considering the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar at the rates of 25% and 50%.

The Company constantly seeks alternatives to use financial instruments in order to avoid negative impacts on its cash flows.

Sensitivity analysis – exposure to interest rates

For market risk analysis, the Company uses scenarios to evaluate the sensitivity that variations in operations impacted by the rates: CDI, TJLP and Libor may have on its results. The probable scenario represents the amounts already booked, as they reflect the best estimate of the Management.

The other scenarios were developed considering appreciation of 25% and 50% in the market interest rates.

4.5 Derivative financial instruments

The Company determines the fair value of derivative contracts and recognizes that these amounts can differ from the amounts realized in the event of early settlement. The difference in amount can occur due to liquidity reasons, dismantling costs, interest of the counterparty in early settlement, among other aspects. The amounts reported by the Company are based on a calculation made by a specialized consulting firm and are reviewed by Management.

Fair value does not represent an obligation for immediate disbursement or cash receipt, given that such effect will only occur on the dates of contractual fulfillment or on the maturity of each transaction, when the result will be determined, depending on the case and market conditions on said dates.

Contracts outstanding on March 31, 2018 are over-the-counter operations without any margin or early settlement clause imposed due to mark-to-market variations.

The projected realization of deferred taxes was prepared based on the Management’s best estimates and on projected results. However, since there are diverse assumptions over which the Company has no control, such as inflation indices, exchange volatility, international market prices and other economic uncertainties in Brazil, future results may materially differ from those considered in this projection.

(b)

The gain reported in 2017 is mainly due to the gross wood price in the regions of Maranhão and Pará and the maintenance of other assumptions;

The Company’s biological assets are mainly made of eucalyptus forest for reforestation used to supply wood to pulp and paper mills and are located in the states of São Paulo, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Pará, Piauí and Tocantins. Permanent preservation and legal reserve areas were not included in the calculation of fair value due to its nature.

The fair value of eucalyptus forests is determined semiannually through the income approach method by using the Discounted Cash Flow method.

Certain financing agreements have financial and non-financial covenants. Financial covenants establish some maximum levels of leverage, normally expressed as a ratio of Net Debt to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), which are met by the Company on the date of these financial statements. Non-financial covenants establish the maximum level of assignment of receivables, guarantees to third parties and sale of operating assets, which are also compliant.

21.2 Tax and Social Security Suits and Proceedings

On March 31, 2018, the Company was a defendant in 390 administrative proceedings as well as tax and social security lawsuits in which the disputed matters related to diverse taxes such as IRPJ/CSLL, PIS, COFINS, Tax on Industrialized Products (“IPI”), social security contributions, Rural Property Tax (“ITR”), State Value-Added Tax (“ICMS”), Tax on Services (“ISS”) and Urban Property Tax (“IPTU”), whose amounts are provisioned for when the likelihood of loss is deemed probable by the Company’s external legal counsel and the Management.

The Company joined the Tax Amnesty Program (REFIS), regarding certain lawsuits, totaling an inflation-adjusted principal of approximately R$ 13,938, which is duly provisioned for, and the related interest and fines will be paid using the tax loss and negative social contribution, which were already informed by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal do Brasil) and are awaiting consolidation.

Due to benefits of reduction in the interest, fines and legal charges, the Company opted to migrate some debts covered by REFIS, not consolidated yet, and settle other debts whose loss is deemed probable. These debts are recorded in provision amounting to R$ 4,342 on March 31, 2018, already considering legal deductions and amounts prepaid to the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil, whose consolidation still depends on the regulatory act to be issued by the respective Public Authority.

21.3 Labor claims

On March 31, 2018, the Company was a defendant in 3,458 labor claims.

The other tax and social security lawsuits are related to a variety of taxes such as social security, IRPJ, ITR, ICMS, Withholding Income Tax (“IRRF”), PIS and COFINS, mainly due to differences in the interpretation of the applicable tax rules and information provided in ancillary obligations.

25.5 Earnings (losses) per share

Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders by the weighted average common shares issued during the year, excluding the common shares acquired by the Company and held as treasury shares.

As described in item b) of Note 25.3, in November 2017, the Company migrated to the Novo Mercado segment. Thus, all preferred shares were converted into common shares at the ratio of one preferred share for one common share; Considering that there was no change in capital stock, with mere conversion of preferred shares, for the purposes of calculation and presentation of earnings per share, this conversion was made retrospectively.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average of outstanding common shares assuming the conversion of all common shares that would cause dilution.

As of this quarter, with the end of the SAR plan, which impacted the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, there will be no more difference between the amounts of basic and diluted earnings.

Dividends

Article 26, item c) of the Bylaws establishes that the minimum dividends for each Fiscal Year will be equivalent to the lowest of: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the net income from the year adjusted pursuant to article 202 of Brazilian Corporations Law; or (ii) ten percent (10%) of the Company’s operating cash generation in the respective fiscal year.”

On December 31, 2017, the Company calculated dividends as follows:

 

     12/31/2017  

Net Income for the year

     1,807,433  

Accrual of legal reserve—5%

     (90,372

     180,280  
  

 

 

 

Item V of CVM Resolution 207 of December 13, 1996 establishes that: “Interest paid or credited may be calculated only towards the minimum dividend set forth in article 202 of Federal Law 6,404/76 at the amount net of withholding income tax.”

The Company, in compliance with article 26, item c) of its Bylaws and CVM Resolution 207, revised the proposed amount of dividends for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and calculated such dividends as follows:

 

ART 26, c), item i)

            (-) Withholding Income Tax on JSCP    (29,975)  
        

 

 

 
      Minimum mandatory dividends payable      181,653  

Based on the calculation above, the amount of R$351,513 was considered as minimum mandatory dividends for fiscal year 2017, of which the net amount of R$169,860 was paid as interest on equity, with the balance of R$181,653 remaining payable. The difference of R$1,373 between the amount previously disclosed and the minimum calculated in accordance with article 26, c), item ii) of the Bylaws off the Company was deemed immaterial by the Management and therefore the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 will not be restated.

Information by Segment and Geographic Areas

 

  28.1

Criteria for identifying operating segments

The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments through the operating result. The information presented under “Not Segmented” is related to income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributed to the pulp and paper segments, such as, net financial result and income and social contribution taxes expenses, in addition to the balance sheet classification items of assets and liabilities.

The operating segments defined by Management are as follows:

 

  i)

Pulp: comprises the production and sale of hardwood eucalyptus pulp and fluff mainly to supply the export market, with any surplus destined to the domestic market.

 

  ii)

Paper: comprises the production and sale of paper to meet the demands of both domestic and export markets. Consumer goods (tissue) sales are classified under this segment due to its immateriality.

Insurance Coverage

Suzano’s insurance coverage is considered sufficient to cover possible liability risks, material losses and loss of profits. The maximum limit of damages for material assets is R$5,320,000; for Directors and Officers Civil Liability (D&O) the insured amount is R$220,000, and for civil and general liability the insured amount is R$20,000.

Eucalyptus forests are not covered by insurance policies given the unique features of this asset. The Company is constantly monitoring them through strategically located watchtowers and fire alarm systems and fire brigades are maintained and trained to avoid and fight these risks in forest areas.

Report on review of quarterly information

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim accounting information of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (“Company”), included in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, comprising the balance sheet at that date and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the quarter then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the parent company and consolidated interim accounting information in accordance with the accounting standard CPC 21, Interim Financial Reporting, of the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of this information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Reviews of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410—Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410—Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the interim information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying parent company and consolidated interim accounting information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to Note 1.1 (b) (i) to this Quarterly information (ITR), which states that the Company signed Voting Agreement and Obligation Undertaking with the goal of combining the Company’s operations with Fibria Celulose S.A. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including approval by antitrust-related authorities in Brazil and abroad. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Other matters

Statements of value added

We have also reviewed the parent company and consolidated statements of value added for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. These statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management, and are required to be presented in accordance with standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR) and are considered supplementary information under IFRS, which do not require the presentation of the statement of value added. These statements have been submitted to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all material respects, in a manner consistent with the parent company and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

Our activities are focused on the growth of renewable and sustainable forests and the manufacture and sale of bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp. Forests in formation are located in the states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul.

We operate in a single operating segment, which is the production and sale of short fiber pulp from our pulp production facilities located in the cities of Aracruz (State of Espírito Santo), Três Lagoas (State of Mato Grosso do Sul), Jacareí (State of São Paulo) and Eunápolis (State of Bahia) (Veracel Celulose S.A. (“Veracel”), a jointly- controlled entity).

The pulp produced for export is delivered to customers by sea, under long-term contracts with shipping companies, through the ports of Santos, located in the State of São Paulo, Barra do Riacho, located in the State of Espírito Santo (operated by our subsidiary Portocel—Terminal Especializado Barra do Riacho S.A. (“Portocel”)) and Terminal Macuco located in the port of Santos, State of São Paulo (operated by our subsidiary Fibria Terminal de Celulose de Santos SPE S.A. (“Fibria Santos SPE”)), which began its operations in February 2018.

 

(b)

Voting agreement and other obligations

On March 16, 2018, we disclosed a Material Fact informing the market that, on March 15, 2018, Fibria’s controlling shareholders, Suzano Holding S.A. and the other controlling shareholders of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. acting as intervening party, entered into a Voting Agreement and other Obligations (“Agreement”), whereby Suzano’s controlling shareholders and Fibria’s controlling shareholders have agreed to exercise their voting rights in order to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and the Company, through a corporate reorganization.

Presentation of consolidated interim financial information and summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.1

Consolidated interim financial information—basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial information have been prepared under the accounting basis of business continuity and the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and through other comprehensive income, financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) and biological assets measured at fair value.

 

(a)

Accounting policies adopted

The consolidated interim financial information have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with IAS 34—“Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and disclose all (and only) the applicable significant information related to the financial statements, which is consistent with the information utilized by management in the performance of its duties.

The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, considering that its purpose is to provide an update on the activities, events and significant circumstances in relation to those presented in the annual financial statements.

The current accounting practices, which include the measurement principles for the recognition and valuation of the assets and liabilities, the calculation methods used in the preparation of this consolidated interim financial information and the estimates used, are the same as those used in the preparation of the most recent annual financial statements, except for the items related to the adoption of the new standards, amendments and interpretations issued by IASB, as detailed in Note 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and Note 3 below.

 

(b)

Approval of the financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and Fibria’s Management on April 23, 2018.

 

2.1.1

Financial instruments – IFRS 9

The main impacts are related to the financial asset’s classification. Once IFRS 9 has changed the categories for classification of the financial assets, eliminating the categories held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. As a result, the financial assets are classified in one of the following categories: at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss.

The requirements for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were practically unchanged from the previous standard (IAS 39), including those related to embedded derivatives and the option to assign financial liabilities at fair value. The only exception introduced by the new standard for financial liabilities relates to liabilities designated at fair value. Since the Company has no financial liabilities designated at fair value, this change did not have any impact.

 

(a)

Finacial asset’s, classification, recognition and measurement

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: (a) amortized cost, (b) at fair value through other comprehensive income and (c) at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which Fibria commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred but only if Fibria has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

 

(i)

Amortized cost

Are financial assets held by the Company (i) in order to receive their contractual cash flow and not to sell to realization a profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

It includes the balance of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other assets and marketable securities, for investments in agrarian debt securities. Any changes are recognized in income statement under “Financial income” or “Financial expenses”, depending on the outcome.

 

(ii)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Are financial assets held by the Company (i) either to receive their contractual cash flow as the for sale with realization of profit or loss and (ii) whose contractual terms give rise on specified dates, to cash flows constituting, exclusively, payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. In addition, investments in equity instruments where, on initial recognition, the Company elected to present subsequent changes in its fair value to other comprehensive income, are classified in this category.

This category includes the balance of other investments. Any changes are recognized in the income statement under “Financial income” or “Financial expenses”, depending on the result, except for the fair value of investments in equity instruments that are recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

(iii)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

That are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

Are the balance of derivative financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, stock options and other securities. Any changes are recognized in the income statement under “Financial income” or “Financial expenses”, depending on its outcome, not derivative instruments and, under “Income from derivative financial instruments”, for derivative instruments.

 

2.1.2

Revenue recognition – IFRS 15

The Company recognizes revenues from contracts with customers as at which the products to customers transfer of control, represented by the ability to determine the use of products and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the products.

The Company follows the conceptual framework of the standard, based on the five-step model: (1) identification of contracts with customers; (2) identification of performance obligations under contracts; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligation provided for in the contracts and (5) recognition of revenue when the performance obligation is met.

The transaction confirmation is based on the parameters provided by the corresponding Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) and credit confirmation to the completion of the transaction. Revenue is the net sales revenue, net of taxes, discounts and returns.

 

(a)

Sale of products

The recognition of revenue for domestic and export pulp sales is based on the following principles:

 

(i)

Domestic market—sales are mainly made on credit. Revenue is recognized when the customer receives the product, whether on the carrier’s premises or at its own premises, at which point risk and rewards of ownership are transferred.

 

(ii)

Export market—export orders are normally supplied from third party warehouses located near strategic markets; sales are mainly made on credit. Revenue is recognized as per the Incoterm parameters.

 

2.2

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom match the actual results. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, there were no significant changes in the critical estimates and assumptions which are likely to result in significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities during the current period, compared to those disclosed in Note 3 to our most recent annual financial statements.

 

3

New standards, amendments and interpretations issued by IASB

The standard below has been issued and is effective for future periods, as from January 1, 2019. We have not early adopted this standard.

Standard    IFRS 16 – Leases
Effective date    January 1, 2019
Main points introduced by the standard   

This accounting standard replaces the previous leases standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e., the customers (‘lessees’) and the suppliers (‘lessor’).

Lessees are required to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. For lessors, the accounting stays almost the same and continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

Impacts of the adoption    The Company´s evaluation of the impacts of the new standard is in progress. Our assessment is being conducted in several areas of the Company in order to identify the existing contracts, as well as the environmental of internal controls and systems impacted by the adoption of the new standard.

Sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis—changes in foreign currency exchange rates

The probable scenario is the closing exchange rate at the date of these consolidated interim financial information (R$ x USD = 3.3238). As the amounts have already been recognized in the consolidated financial statement, there are no additional effects in the Statement of profit or loss in this scenario. In the “Possible” and “Remote” scenarios, the U.S. Dollar is deemed to appreciate/depreciate by 25% and 50%, before tax, when compared to the “Probable” scenario:

Sensitivity analysis—changes in interest rates

We adopted as the probable scenario the fair value considering the market yield as at March 31, 2018. As the amounts have already been recognized in the consolidated financial statement, there are no additional effects in the Statement of profit or loss in this scenario. In the “Possible” and “Remote” scenarios, the interest rates are deemed to increase/decrease by 25% and 50%, respectively, before tax, when compared to the “Probable” scenario:

Fair value of loans and financing

The fair value of loans and financing, which are measured at amortized cost in the balance sheet, is estimated as follows: (i) bonds, for which fair value is based on the observed quoted price in the market (based on an average of closing prices provided by Bloomberg), and (ii) for the other financial liabilities that do not have a secondary market, or for which the secondary market is not active, fair value is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows by current market interest rates, also considering the Company’s credit risk. The fair value of loans and financing are classified as Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value of loans and financing:

6.2

Fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments (including embedded derivative)

The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative financial instruments and acknowledges that it may differ from the amounts payable/receivable in the event of early settlement of the instrument. This difference results from factors such as liquidity, spreads or the intention of early settlement from the counterparty, among others. The amounts estimated by management are also compared with the Mark-to-Market (MtM) provided as reference by the banks (counterparties) and with the estimates performed by an independent financial advisor.

A summary of the methodologies used for purposes of determining fair value by type of instrument is presented below.

 

   

Swap contracts—the present value of both the asset and liability components are estimated through the discount of forecasted cash flows using the observed market interest rate for the currency in which the swap is denominated, considering both of Fibria’s and the counterpart’s credit risk. The only difference is the swap TJLP x US$, where the cash flows of the asset (TJLP) are forecasted for a stable yield, accordingly to the value of the current TJLP, during all period of the swap, issued by the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (“BNDES”). For the cross-currency swaps (BRL x US$) the discount is calculated using the yield of the Dollar coupon and, for the swap of IPCA in local currency, the discount is calculated using the yield of the Brazilian interest rate – future yield of the CDI. The contract fair value is the difference between the asset and liability.

LOGO

 

 

 

   

Options (Zero Cost Collar)—the fair value was calculated based on the Garman-Kohlhagen model, considering both Fibria’s and the counterparty credit risk. Volatility information and interest rates are observable and obtained from B3 exchange information to calculate the fair values.

 

   

Swap US-CPI—the cash flow of the liability position is projected using the yield of the US-CPI index, obtained through the implicit rates of US securities indexed to inflation (TIPS), disclosed by Bloomberg. The cash flow of the asset position is projected using the fixed rate implicit in the embedded derivative instrument. The fair value of the embedded derivative instrument is the present value of the difference between both positions.

The yield curves used to calculate the fair value in March 31, 2018, are as follows:

The outstanding contracts at March 31, 2018 are not subject to margin calls or accelerated liquidation clauses resulting from mark-to-market variations. All operations are over-the-counter and registered at CETIP (Brazilian clearing house).

Income taxes

The Company and the subsidiaries located in Brazil are taxed based on their taxable income. The subsidiaries located outside of Brazil use methods established by the respective local jurisdictions. Income taxes have been calculated and recorded considering the applicable statutory tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date.

The Company still believes in the provisions of the International Double Taxation Treaties signed by Brazil. However, as the decision regarding its applicability is still pending on the Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal – STF), currently the Company taxes the foreign profits according to the Law 12,973/14.

The Law 12,973/14 revoked the article 74 of Provisional Measure 2,158/01. The law determines that the adjustment in the value of the investment, in the direct or indirect controlled company, domiciled abroad, equivalent to its profits before tax, except for the foreign exchange, must be computed in the taxation basis of the corporate income tax and social contribution over profits of the controller company domiciled in Brazil, at the end of the fiscal year. The repatriation of these profits in subsequent years will not be subject to taxation in Brazil. The Company has provisions regarding the Corporate Income Tax of the subsidiaries on an accrual basis.

Scope of the works and responsibility

of the independent auditor

 

4

Our responsibility is to issue an opinion on the net book value of the Company at March 31, 2018, based on the work performed in accordance with Technical Notice 03/2014 (R1), issued by the Brazilian Instituteof Independent Auditors (IBRACON) and approved by the Federal Accounting Board throughCTA 20/2014 (R1), which provides for the application of audit procedures to the balance sheet. Therefore, our examination of the Company’s balance sheet was conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international audit standards, which demand compliance with ethical requirements by the auditors and that the audit be planned and executed with the objective of obtaining reasonable assurance that the net book value assessed in our valuation report is free of material misstatements.

 

5

An audit process involves selected procedures to obtain evidence of the assessed amounts. The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the auditor, including the assessment of risks of material misstatements in the net book value, whether caused by fraud or error. In such risk assessment, the auditor considers the internal controls material for the preparation of the Company’s balance sheet in planning the audit procedures deemed appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of rendering an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal controls of the Company. We also assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusion

 

6

Based on our work, we concluded that the amount of R$ 200.00, as per the balance sheet of March 31, 2018, recorded on the accounting books and summarized in Appendix I, represents, in all material aspects, the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A., assessed in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

As described in Note 1 of Appendix II to this valuation report, the merger of Eucalipto Holding S.A. into Suzano is part of the corporate restructuring process in the context of the business combination described therein, which is subject to certain conditions.

1

Basis for preparation of the balance sheet and summary of the main accounting policies

The balance sheet of March 31, 2018 was prepared for the assessment of the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Company”), in the context of the merger of the Company into Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (“Suzano”) on a future date, in accordance with the terms of Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, as described below.

The balance sheet of March 31, 2018 was prepared and is presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC).

 

(a)

Corporate events

Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations

On March 15, 2018, Suzano Holding S.A., jointly with the other controlling shareholders of Suzano (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Suzano”), entered into with the controlling shareholders of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria” and, jointly with Suzano, the “Companies”), Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A.—BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”) (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Fibria”), with Suzano as intervening consenting party, a Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, whereby the Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to exercise their voting rights to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring.

A corporate restructuring will be submitted to the shareholders of Suzano and of Fibria, which will result in the following: (a) the ownership, by Suzano, of all shares issued by Fibria; and (b) the receipt by the shareholders of Fibria, for each common share issued by Fibria, of (i) fifty-two reais and fifty centavos (R$ 52.50), adjusted by the variation in the CDI rate as from March 15, 2018 to the effective payment date, to be paid in one single installment on the consummation date of the transaction and (ii) 0.4611 common share issued by Suzano, also to be delivered on the consummation date of the transaction.

Eucalipto Holding S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano, was acquired with the purpose of facilitating the aforementioned business combination, as part of the corporate restructuring, which includes its merger into Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., as described in Note 2.

The shareholders of Fibria holding American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) will be entitled to receive ADRs in Suzano, observing the same exchange ratio. To do so, Suzano will adopt measures to obtain (i) the registry of the transaction (or the exemption thereof, as applicable) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and (ii) the listing of the ADRs of Suzano in the same listing segment of the New York Stock Exchange where the ADRs of Fibria currently are listed.

(This report is not deemed filed under the Securities Act of 1933)

 

Once the transaction is consummated, the shares and the ADRs issued by Fibria will no longer be traded on the B3 S.A. and on the New York Stock Exchange, respectively.

In accordance with the Voting Commitment, in the event that any restrictions imposed by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and/or other countries are excessively burdensome, Suzano may opt not to consummate the transaction, upon payment to Fibria of a break-up fee equivalent to R$ 750 million. The break-up fee may involve certain other conditions of non-consummation of the transaction, as expressly provided for in the Voting Commitment.

The consummation of the transaction requires the applicable corporate approvals and fulfillment of the conditions precedent envisaged in the Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, including approval by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and other countries.

The consummation date of the transaction will correspond to the 45th day as from publication of the corresponding notice to the market indicating that the conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

 

(b)

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies applied while preparing the balance sheet are presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents encompass balances in cash and banks and financial investments that mature within less than 90 days from the date of the transaction, and which are subject to insignificant risk of having their values changed.

Merger of Eucalipto Holding—unaudited

Eucalipto Holding S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano, was acquired with the purpose of facilitating the business combination described on Note 1, especially the corporate restructuring. As such, the merger of the Company by Suzano is expected to take place after certain transactions. The following table describes the pro forma accounting balance sheet, as per the pro forma individual balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. and corresponding limited assurance report of the independent auditor, issued on July 10, 2018, that would be submitted for the merger into Suzano, considering that the condition precedent of the business combination had been fulfilled on March 31, 2018.

Description of balances/adjustments:

 

(1)

Net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as of March 31, 2018, as described in Appendix I to the valuation report.

(2)

Suzano contributes R$ 29,043,056 thousand in cash to the Company upon subscription to new Common Shares in the Company.

(3)

The Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring that will result in Fibria being converted into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano. Assuming that Fibria’s total capital is represented, on the Consummation Date of the Transaction, by 553,201,072 common shares, ex-treasury, the shareholders of Fibria will receive (i) a portion in local currency of R$ 52.50 per share, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand and (ii) 255,000,000 new common shares issued by Suzano, whose market value on March 31, 2018 was R$ 33.36, which corresponds to an aggregate fair value of R$ 8,506,800 thousand. This consideration from Suzano will be paid through its subsidiary Eucalipto Holding S.A. Therefore, in the merger of Fibria shares into the Company, Fibria shareholders will receive redeemable preferred shares in the Company, whose redemption value corresponds to the promised value in cash mentioned above, and also will receive registered common shares in the Company, to be converted subsequently into 255,000,000 new shares in Suzano.

(4)

The shareholders of Fibria that came to hold redeemable preferred shares, immediately after the merger of Fibria shares, will redeem such shares in cash at their full value, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand, and the preferred shares will be cancelled.

(5)

By the end of stages 2 to 4 described above, the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. will be affected by these transactions. At this point, the Company is merged into Suzano, with its consequent dissolution; Fibria’s shareholders will receive, in substitution of their common shares issued by the Company, the new shares of Suzano, consequently migrating to the shareholder base of Suzano.

The above final pro forma balance represents the net book value of the Company, to be merged into Suzano, if the condition precedent of the business combination, as described in Note 1, had been fulfilled on March 31, 2018. The actual amounts of the merger, if and when it is concluded, will vary in relation to the pro forma balance described above, especially in relation to: (i) the updated amount of paid-in capital; and (ii) the number and fair value of Suzano shares to be given to Fibria shareholders, both determined on the consummation date of the transaction.

Independent auditor’s reasonable assurance

report on the compilation of pro forma

consolidated financial information

for compliance with CVM Instruction 565

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.

We have completed our reasonable assurance engagement for the purpose of issuing a report on the compilation of the pro forma consolidated financial information of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (“Company” or “Suzano”), prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management, for compliance with Instruction 565 issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM). The pro forma consolidated financial information includes the pro forma balance sheets at March 31, 2018, the pro forma consolidated statements of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the accompanying notes. The criteria applicable based on which the Company’s management compiled the pro forma consolidated financial information are specified in the Technical Pronouncement CTG 06, “Presentation of pro forma financial information”, of the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and are summarized in Note 1 to the pro forma consolidated financial information.

The pro forma consolidated financial information has been compiled by the Company’s management to illustrate the impact of the acquisition of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria”) (“transaction or combination”), as presented in Note 1, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2018 and on its consolidated statements of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, as if the transaction had occurred as from March 31, 2018 (for the pro forma consolidated balance sheet) and as from January 1, 2017 (for the pro forma consolidated statements of income), respectively. As part of this process, information on the Company’s financial position and financial performance was extracted by the Company’s management from the consolidated interim financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, on which we issued our unmodified report on review of quarterly information on April 26, 2018, and from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, on which we issued our unmodified audit opinion on February 7, 2018. In addition, the information on the financial position and financial performance of Fibria was extracted by the Company’s management from the consolidated interim accounting information of Fibria for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, on which we issued our unmodified report on review of quarterly information on April 23, 2018, and from the consolidated financial statements of Fibria for the year ended December 31, 2017, which were audited by another firm of independent auditors whose unmodified audit report was issued on January 29, 2018.

Management’s responsibility for the pro forma

consolidated financial information

Management is responsible for the compilation of the pro forma consolidated financial information in accordance with the criteria defined in CTG 06.

Our independence and quality control

We complied with independence and other ethical requirements established by the Brazilian Accounting Standards for General Professionals (NBCs PG) 100 and 200 and the Brazilian Accounting Standard for Independent Auditors (NBC PA) 291. These standards are based on the principles of integrity, objectivity, and professional competence and approach the confidence and the behavior of the professionals.

We applied the International standards on quality control established by NBC PA 01 and, accordingly, we maintained a proper quality control system that includes policies and procedures related to the compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards, and legal and regulatory requirements.

Independent auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by the CVM, on whether the pro forma consolidated financial information has been compiled by the Company’s management, in all material respects, based on the criteria established by CTG 06.

We conducted our work in accordance with the standard NBC TO 3420—“Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information included in a Prospectus”, issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), which is equivalent to the International Standard ISAE 3420, issued by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). These standards require that the auditor plan and perform audit procedures with the purpose of obtaining reasonable assurance that the Company’s management compiled, in all material respects, the pro forma consolidated financial information based on the criteria established by CTG 06.

For the purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for the updating or restatement of any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma consolidated financial information. In addition, during the course of this engagement, we have not audited or reviewed the financial statements and other historical financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of the pro forma consolidated financial information is solely to illustrate the impact of the relevant transaction on the Company’s historical consolidated financial information, had the transaction occurred on the prior date chosen for illustrative purposes. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual results of the relevant transaction at March 31, 2018 or January 1, 2017 would have been as presented herein.

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.

A reasonable assurance engagement about whether the pro forma consolidated financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, based on the applicable criteria, involves the performance of procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria adopted by the Company’s management while compiling the pro forma consolidated financial information provide a reasonable basis for the presentation of the significant effects which are directly attributable to the transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

 

(i)

the corresponding pro forma adjustments result in the appropriate effect of these criteria; and

 

(ii)

the pro forma financial information reflects the adequate implementation of these adjustments made to the historical financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the judgment of the independent auditor, taking into consideration their understanding of the Company, the nature of the event or transaction in relation to which the pro forma consolidated financial information has been compiled, and other circumstances which are relevant for the engagement. The engagement also involves assessing the overall presentation of the pro forma consolidated financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the compilation of the pro forma consolidated financial information.

Opinion

In our opinion, the pro forma consolidated financial information was compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established by CTG 06.

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to Note 1 to the pro forma consolidated financial information, which describes that the pro forma consolidated financial information should be read together with the Company’s and the Fibria’s consolidated accounting information for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and with the Company’s and the Fibria’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which were the basis for the preparation of the pro forma consolidated financial information.

(a)

Description of the transaction

On March 15, 2018, Suzano Holding S.A., jointly with the other controlling shareholders of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Suzano”), entered into with the controlling shareholders of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria” and, jointly with Suzano, the “Companies”), Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A.—BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”) (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Fibria”), with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. as intervening consenting party (“Suzano”), a Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, whereby the Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to exercise their voting rights to combine the operations (“Combination” or “Transaction”) and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring.

A corporate restructuring will be submitted to the shareholders of Suzano and of Fibria, which will result in the following: (a) the ownership, by Suzano, of all shares issued by Fibria; and (b) the receipt by the shareholders of Fibria, for each common share issued by Fibria, of (i) fifty-two reais and fifty centavos (R$52.50), adjusted by the variation in the Certificates of Interbank Deposit (“CDI”) rate as from March 15, 2018 to the effective payment date, to be paid in one single installment on the consummation date of the Combination and ii) 0.4611 common share issued by Suzano, also to be delivered on the consummation date of the transaction.

The consummation of the transaction requires the applicable corporate approvals and fulfillment of the conditions precedent envisaged in the Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, including approval by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and other countries.

The Consummation Date of the Transaction will correspond to the 45th day as from publication of the notice to the market indicating that the conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

(iv)

historical consolidated financial statements of Fibria prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) issued by the IASB, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and audited by another independent audit firm, which issued an unqualified opinion on January 29, 2018;

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet and the pro forma consolidated income statement were prepared to reflect the effects from the transaction to combine the businesses, as if such Combination had occurred on March 31, 2018 and January 1, 2017, respectively.

Suzano has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of Fibria’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the Merger, Suzano has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as if the Closing Date had been March 31, 2018 (in millions of reais):

The cash consideration will be adjusted in accordance with the fluctuation in CDI from March 15, 2018 to the Closing Date. At March 31, 2018, the change was immaterial using a CDI rate increase of 0.27% and therefore is not reflected above. However, if the acquisition were to be delayed one year the CDI impact would be 5.60% based on the average actual CDI rate for the 12 months ending March 31, 2018.

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and income statement. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Suzano has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in the value of the consideration paid, (2) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, (3) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as contracts with customers and suppliers, technology and customer relationships as well as goodwill and (4) other changes to assets and liabilities.

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions and, therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. We have only included material adjustments that are directly attributable to the proposed Merger, factually supportable and, with respect to the statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. A general description of the Combination and its adjustment is provided in note 2 below.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information was prepared and is presented for illustrative purposes only, based on the assumption that merger of Fibria shares into Suzano had occurred on January 1, 2017, for the purposes of the financial statements, or on March 31, 2018, for the purposes of the balance sheet, and must not be used as an indication of future consolidated financial statements or construed as the consolidated income statement and/or effective equity and financial position of Suzano. Furthermore, such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not reflect, for instance: (i) any synergy, operating efficiency gain or cost savings that could arise from the corporate restructuring; (ii) any possible benefit from the combined growth of the companies; or (iii) any restrictions imposed by the antitrust authorities in Brazil and/or abroad.

This pro forma consolidated financial information was approved by the management on July 06, 2018.

Pro forma adjustments

The pro forma consolidated financial information was prepared and presented based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Suzano and of Fibria and the pro forma adjustments were determined based on assumptions and the best estimates of the Company’s management, which we believe to be reasonable, and include the following adjustments:

 

(a)

Consideration paid

Consideration paid was estimated based on the terms of the transaction considering that all holders of Fibria Shares will receive Suzano Shares and cash as offered in the Merger. Dissenting Fibria shareholders have the right to withdraw their shares for a cash payment. However, such cash payment would be less than the amount that would be received by not withdrawing. Thus, it is assumed that no holders of Fibria Shares will exercise their withdrawal rights. Consideration will consist of R$ 29,043.1 million to be paid in cash plus 255 million Suzano Shares to be issued on the Closing Date. In this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information, the Suzano Shares to be issued have been valued using the March 31, 2018 quoted market price of R$ 33.36 per share. Actual consideration will be based on share price on the Closing Date.

(A free translation of the original in Portuguese)

 

 

 

If the Suzano quoted market price per Suzano Share on the Closing Date had increased/decreased by 30% compared to the March 31, 2018 quoted market price, the consideration paid would have increased/decreased by approximately R$ 2,552.0 million, and, as a consequence, goodwill would have increased/decreased by the same amount.

 

(b)

Inventory to fair value

The adjustment represents the adjustment of Fibria’s inventory to fair value at March 31, 2018 of R$ 543.0 million. The fair value calculation is preliminary and subject to change. The fair value was determined based on the estimated selling price of the inventory less selling expenses and a normal profit margin on those manufacturing and selling efforts. We do not expect the increase to have a continuing impact; therefore, fair value adjustment is not included in statement of income.

 

(c)

Property, plant and equipment to fair value

The adjustment represents the adjustment of Fibria’s property, plant and equipment to fair value at March 31, 2018 in the amount of R$ 6,866.8 million. The fair value calculation is preliminary and subject to change. The land was valued using the market approach method based on price generated by market transactions. The other fixed assets were valued using the cost method, which is based on the principle of substitution, using the cost to replace assets adjusted to inflation rate as an indicator of their fair value. The related increase in depreciation expense, assuming a remaining depreciation expense of R$ 208.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and R$ 52.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, is allocated as Cost of Sales. The depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of the related property, plant and equipment disclosed in Fibria’s annual financial statements. The calculation of the depreciation expense adjustment is as disclosed below:

 

                  

Estimated Depreciation Expense

(in millions of reais)

 
     Fair value
adjustment
     Useful lives
(in years)
     Year Ended
December 31, 2017
     Three-month Period
Ended March 31, 2018
 

Buildings

     1,109.5        25.00        44.4        11.1  

Machinery, equipment and facilities

     2,991.1        18.18        164.5        41.1  
           208.9        52.2  

The market prices and general inflation rate were used in the calculation above. However, specialized indexes may be applicable depending on the nature of the property, plant and equipment rates reflected, which were double the general inflation rate used above, as well prices may vary upon the finalization of the purchase price allocation. If the amount of the fair value adjustment related to Fibria’s property, plant and equipment were to increase by a further R$ 6,866.8 million, goodwill would reduce by such amount and the related increase in depreciation would be R$ 417.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and R$ 104.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

 

(d)

Goodwill

The adjustment reflects the net increase in goodwill at March 31, 2018 consisting of the elimination of the book value of Fibria’s existing goodwill in the amount of R$ (4,230.5) million plus the goodwill generated by the Merger of R$ 16,341.9 million. The adjustment on deferred taxes of R$642.0 million represents the reversal of the deferred tax liability of the eliminated Fibria’s goodwill.

It is worth noting that the calculation is a preliminary estimate and that amount of goodwill change upon finalization of the purchase price allocation, as disclosed. The factors that make up the final goodwill are expected to include mostly synergies from combining operations for cost savings in fields such as forestry, logistics, selling, general and administrative expenses and procurement, which will increase the Parties’ competitiveness both in Brazil and overseas.

The Company believes that all these initiatives could generate synergies and cash saving in the amount close to the goodwill.

 

(e)

Intangible—customer relationships

The adjustment represents R$ 3,600.0 million due to recognition of the fair value of major customer relationships at March 31, 2018 and related amortization expense of R $240.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and R$ 60.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, the amortization is allocated in Selling Expense. As disclosed in Fibria’s December 31, 2017 financial statements, its client base is concentrated, with approximately 46% of revenue generated by sales to three major clients. Accordingly, valuation of the major customer relationships was calculated using estimated discounted cash flows. If we used a different assumption, the adjustment could differ significantly. The amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the customer relationship (15 years).

• If Suzano had considered 100% of Fibria’s customer list instead of 46% as described above, the value of Fibria’s customer relationships would have been increased by approximately R$ 4,226.1 million, goodwill would have been reduced by such amount and the related increase in amortization would have been R$ 281.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and R$ 70.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

 

(f)

Transaction costs

Represents the liability for payment of estimated transaction costs of R$ 90.9 million related to the Merger. The historical consolidated balance sheet and income statement of Suzano and Fibria do not reflect any transaction costs related to the Merger for the periods presented.

 

(g)

Debt increase for financing the Combination

The adjustment represents new long-term debt in U.S. dollars equivalent to R$ 29,043.1 million incurred to finance the cash payment to Fibria’s shareholders and related financial expense of R$ 1,264.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and R$ 316.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. It is assumed that the secured credit line would bear interest at LIBOR plus approximately 2.0% p.a. in USD which is assumed equivalent to a nominal interest rate of 4.4% p.a., without considering any exchange rate variation impacts for the variation of the real (the Company’s functional currency) against the USD. For the year ended December 31, 2017, if the USD had weakened/strengthened by 1% against the real with all other variables held constant, the pro forma financial income/expenses would have been increased by approximately R$ 303.1 million due to the

foreign exchange impacts from translation of the USD-denominated long-term debt. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 if the USD had weakened/strengthened by 1% against the real with all other variables held constant, the pro forma financial income/expenses would have been increased by approximately R$ 75.8 million, due to the foreign exchange impacts from translation of USD-denominated long-term debt.

Additionally, the amount of R$438.6 million reflects the adjustment to the fair value of loans and financing, defined as disclosed in Fibria’s interim financial statement.

 

(h)

Fair value of possible contingent liabilities

The adjustment reflects the preliminary estimation of the fair value of legal proceedings disclosed as being possible losses by Fibria’s management. Management estimates that 10% of the total amount disclosed as possible losses at March 31, 2018 represents the fair value estimate of the possible loss contingencies considering the probability of the loss and experience of actual payments. However, any liability recognition for possible losses will depend on Suzano’s ability to make a reliable estimate of the fair value of the related contingencies based on the information available, including the ability to define probabilities of the different potential outcomes, the related cash flows and discount rates. Due to the high level of subjectivity around the realization of such contingencies based on the information currently available, no related amounts have been recorded in the pro forma condensed income statements. Suzano is required to recognize a contingent liability assumed in a business combination at the acquisition date, even if it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Based on that requirement, in the preliminary assessment for the preparation of the pro forma Suzano management identified significant possible loss contingencies disclosed in Fibria’s December 31, 2017 financial statements:

 

     Amount of
possible loss

(in millions of reais)
 

Possible tax contingencies

  

Claim to reimburse development agency tax incentive

     142.6  

Offset of 1997 income tax losses which was only partially approved

     233.6  

Income tax assessment—swap of industrial and forestry assets

     2,225.2  

Income tax assessment—income from Fibria Trading International II

     382.6  

Income tax assessment—disallowance of depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses—2010

     673.7  

Income tax assessment—on income of foreign subsidiaries in 2011

     64.3  

Income tax assessment—for joint-operated entity, Veracel

     116.9  

Other tax liabilities (706 tax claims)

     3,657.0  

Subtotal—tax

     7,495.9  

Possible civil contingencies

  

Company’s trucks from causing damage to federal highways

     1,771.8  

Others (620 claims)

     484.9  

Subtotal—civil

     2,256.7  
  

 

 

 

Total possible tax contingencies

     9,752.6  
  

 

 

 

Suzano believes that this adjustment is factually supportable based on the following:

 

(a)

The total amount of possible loss contingencies are those described in Fibria’s financial statements as of December 31, 2017, which is the latest information available. Suzano Management states in March 31, 2018 interim financial statements that no material change occurred from the December 31, 2017 position.

(b)

Amounts disclosed are those related to possible losses, in which case the probability of loss must be considered to be higher than remote as defined by IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. Management assumes that potential contingent losses with a probability of occurrence below 10% would be considered remote and that the possible losses disclosed thus have at least a 10% probability of occurrence.

 

(c)

Amounts disclosed in the financial statements of Fibria are the amounts of the legal cases as of the balance sheet date that are subject to interest rates through settlement, normally using SELIC, which is also assumed to be a reasonable estimate of the rate which would be used to discount future cash flows to present value. Thus the disclosed amounts are assumed to be at discounted present values.

 

(i)

Elimination of the equity of Fibria and issue of shares in Suzano

Represents the elimination of Fibria’s shareholders equity plus the issuance of 255 million shares of Suzano at R$ 33.36 per share (note a) plus transaction costs (note f).

 

(j)

Reflects the income tax effect in the pro forma

Reflects the income tax effect in the pro forma income statements based on the statutory rate of Brazilian income tax and social contribution of 34%. No deferred tax balances are reflected in the March 31, 2018 pro forma condensed balance sheet as Suzano has a viable tax plan that it intends to implement which will permit the tax and accounting basis to be the same after acquisition.

As a result, we will not provide any assurance that the actual result of the transaction as of March 31, 2018 would have been as presented.

An engagement of reasonable assurance on whether the separate pro forma balance sheet was compiled, in all material aspects, based on the applicable criteria, involves the performance of procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria adopted by the management of the Company in the compilation of the separate pro forma balance sheet provide reasonable grounds for the presentation of the material impacts directly attributable to the transaction and to obtain sufficient adequate evidence on whether:

 

(i)

the corresponding pro forma adjustments generate an effect appropriate for these criteria; and

 

(ii)

the pro forma financial information reflect the adequate application of these adjustments to the historical financial information.

The selected procedures depend on the judgment of the independent auditor, taking into consideration their understanding of the Company, of the nature of the transaction for which the separate pro forma balance sheet was compiled, as well as of the other relevant circumstances of the engagement. The engagement also involves the assessment of the general presentation of the separate pro forma balance sheet.

Description of the transaction and basis for preparation of the separate pro forma balance sheet

 

(a)

Description of the transaction

On March 15, 2018, Suzano Holding S.A., jointly with the other controlling shareholders of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Suzano”), entered into with the controlling shareholders of Fibria Celulose S.A. (“Fibria” and, jointly with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., the “Companies”), Votorantim S.A. and BNDES Participações S.A.—BNDESPAR (“BNDESPAR”) (jointly, the “Controlling Shareholders of Fibria”), with Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. as intervening consenting party, a Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, whereby the Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to exercise their voting rights to combine the operations (“Transaction”) and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring.

A corporate restructuring will be submitted to the shareholders of Suzano, of Fibria and of Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Company”), which will result in the following: (a) the ownership, by Suzano, of all shares issued by Fibria; and (b) the receipt by the shareholders of Fibria, for each common share issued by Fibria, of (i) fifty-two reais and fifty centavos (R$ 52.50), adjusted by the variation in the CDI rate as from March 15, 2018 to the effective payment date, to be paid in one single installment on the Consummation Date of the Transaction and (ii) 0.4611 common share issued by Suzano, also to be delivered on the Consummation Date of the Transaction.

The terms and conditions of the Transaction, which are summarized below, will be included in the Agreement and Plan of Merger of Shares and Company (“Merger Agreement”), which will be submitted jointly with the valuation reports and other applicable documents, including this separate pro forma balance sheet, to the Boards of Directors of Suzano and of Fibria and executed by their Managements, and, in a timely manner, to the Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings of the Company for its consideration and vote.

The contribution by Suzano will be made through a subscription to new shares in the Company. The Company is a subsidiary of Suzano and is part of the corporate restructuring being conducted to enable the transaction. After the contribution, there will be a merger of all shares issued by Fibria into the Company, resulting in the issue, by the Company, of registered common shares and redeemable preferred shares to be granted to the shareholders of Fibria. Then, all redeemable preferred shares issued by the Company will be redeemed and canceled, with payment to the shareholders of Fibria of the installment in cash. Lastly, the Company will be merged into Suzano and consequently dissolved. Consequently, Fibria shareholders will receive, in substitution of their common shares issued by the Company, New Suzano Shares, with the consequent migration of Fibria shareholders to the shareholder base of Suzano.

The consummation of the transaction requires the applicable corporate approvals and fulfillment of the conditions precedent envisaged in the Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations, including approval by the antitrust authorities of Brazil and other countries.

The Consummation Date of the Transaction will correspond to the 45th day as from publication of the notice to the market indicating that the conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

(b)

Basis for preparation of the separate pro forma balance sheet

The un-reviewed separate pro forma balance sheet was prepared and is presented in accordance with CTG Notice 06—“Presentation of Pro Forma Financial Information,” issued by the Federal Accounting Board, and should be read jointly with the valuation report on the net book value of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as of March 31, 2018.

This separate pro forma balance sheet is derived from the interim separate balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as of March 31, 2018, prepared in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1)—Interim Statements and with the international accounting standard IAS 34—Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and examined by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, which issued the valuation report on the net book value, without modification, on June 27, 2018.

The separate pro forma balance sheet was prepared to reflect the effects from the operation to combine the businesses, as if such business combination had occurred on March 31, 2018.

The separate pro forma balance sheet, considering its objective, includes the consideration that would have been paid in the merger of Fibria shares if the transaction had been consummated on March 31, 2018. It does not include, nor discuss, the adjustments arising from the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which will be addressed in the pro forma consolidated financial information of Suzano.

The un-reviewed separate pro forma balance sheet was prepared and is being presented exclusively for illustrative purposes based on the assumption of consummation of the business combination of Suzano and Fibria on March 31, 2018 for balance sheet purposes, and should not be used as an indication of the future separate financial statements of the Company or construed as the Company’s effective equity and financial position. Furthermore, such un-reviewed separate pro forma balance sheet does not reflect, for example: (i) any synergy, operating efficiency gain or cost savings that could arise from the corporate restructuring; (ii) any possible benefit from the combined growth of the Companies; or (iii) any restrictions imposed by the antitrust authorities in Brazil and/or abroad.

This pro forma balance sheet was approved by the management on July 06, 2018.

 

2

Pro forma adjustments

The separate pro forma balance sheet was prepared and presented based on the historical separate balance sheet of the Company and the pro forma adjustments were determined based on assumptions and the best estimates of the Company’s management, which we believe to be reasonable, and include the following adjustments:

 

(a)

Capital contribution of Suzano to the Company

Reflects the capital contribution of Suzano to the Company as of March 31, 2018, as described below:

 

Number of Fibria shares, ex-treasury

     553,201,072  

Price paid in cash per share (R$ )

     52.50  
  

 

 

 

Agreed consideration in cash

     29,043,056

Notes to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet—Parent Company   

As of March 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

  
(In thousands of Brazilian real, unless otherwise stated)    (A free translation of the original in Portuguese)

 

 

The capital contribution to the Company corresponds to the monetary consideration of the business combination, which will be adjusted in accordance with the variation in the CDI (i.e., the average daily rates of interbank deposits over extra group, expressed as an annual percentage, based on 252 business days, as calculated and published daily by B3, or any other index that comes to replace it in the future) from March 15, 2018 through the Consummation Date of the Transaction. As of March 31, 2018, the change was immaterial, using an increase in the CDI rate of 0.27% and, therefore, is not reflected above. However, if the acquisition were postponed by one year, the impact of the CDI would be 5.60%, based on the average real CDI rate for the 12 months ended March 31, 2018.

 

(b)

Merger of Fibria shares

The Controlling Shareholders of Suzano and the Controlling Shareholders of Fibria agreed to combine the operations and shareholder bases of Suzano and of Fibria, through a corporate restructuring that will result in Fibria being converted into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzano. Assuming that Fibria’s total capital is represented, on the Consummation Date of the Transaction, by 553,201,072 common shares, ex-treasury, the shareholders of Fibria will receive (i) a portion in local currency of R$ 52.50 per share, which corresponds to the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056, as described in item (a) above; and (ii) 255,000,000 new common shares issued by Suzano, whose market value on March 31, 2018 was R$ 33.36, which corresponds to an aggregate fair value of R$ 8,506,800. As a result, the total consideration paid by Suzano, which would be made through its subsidiary Eucalipto Holding S.A. as if the combination had been consummated on March 31, 2018, would be R$ 37,549,856. Therefore, in the merger of Fibria shares into the Company, Fibria shareholders will receive redeemable preferred shares in the Company, whose redemption value corresponds to the promised value in cash mentioned above, and also will receive registered common shares in the Company, to be converted subsequently into 255,000,000 new shares in Suzano.

 

Number of new Suzano shares

     255,000,000  

Suzano ON share price as of March 31, 2018—R$

     33.36  
  

 

 

 

Agreed consideration in Suzano shares

     8,506,800  

Agreed consideration in cash

     29,043,056  
  

 

 

 

Total consideration

     37,549,856  
  

 

 

 

If the quoted market price of Suzano per Suzano Share on the Consummation Date of the Transaction had increased/decreased by 30% in relation to the market price quoted as of March 31, 2018, the remuneration paid would have increased / decreased by approximately R$ 2,552.0 million and, consequently, the premium would have increased / decreased by the same amount.

As mentioned in Note 1(b), the separate pro forma balance sheet does not include the adjustments arising from the assessments of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as a result of the merger of Fibria shares, since the allocation of the purchase price is discussed in the pro forma interim financial statements of Suzano, which will comprise the applicable documents to be submitted to the Boards of Directors of the Companies and executed by their Managements, as well as, in a timely manner, considered and voted on in the Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings of both Companies.

Furthermore, the acquisition price is subject to adjustments and, therefore, the actual amounts for the merger, if and when it is concluded, will vary in relation to the pro forma balance described above, especially in relation to: (i) the updated amount of paid-in capital; and (ii) the fair value of Suzano shares to be given to Fibria shareholders, both determined on the consummation date of the transaction.

(c)

Redemption of preferred shares

The shareholders of Fibria that came to hold redeemable preferred shares, immediately after the merger of Fibria shares, will redeem such shares in cash at their full value, in the aggregate amount of R$ 29,043,056 thousand, and the preferred shares will be cancelled.

Attention: Marcelo Bacci

Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.

Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 1355 – 8º. andar

São Paulo - SP

June 15, 2018

Dear Sirs,

PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, established in the city of São Paulo, capital of the State of São Paulo, and headquartered at Avenida Francisco Matarazzo, 1400, 9th, 10th and from the 13th to the 17th floors, Torre Torino, Água Branca, enrolled in the National Corporate Taxpayers’ Register (CNPJ/MF) under No. 61.562.112/0001-20 (“PwCAI”), is pleased that you have selected us to perform the services which are the object of this engagement letter. The purpose of this letter is to confirm our understanding with respect to our and your responsibilities in connection with our reasonable assurance engagement that we will perform for Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. (“Suzano” or “Company”). The terms of this letter will remain effective until amended, in writing, with the agreement of both parties.

 

1.

Subject matter of the assurance engagement

The subject matter of our reasonable assurance engagement will be comprised of the pro forma financial information to be prepared by Suzano, specifically the pro forma parent company balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as at March 31, 2018 and the pro forma consolidated financial information of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., at March 31, 2018), both prepared within the context of the business combination of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. and Fibria Celulose S.A., according to the agreement entered into on March 15, 2018 by its controlling stockholders (“Business combination” or “transaction”), prepared by the management, in compliance with Instruction 565, issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).

 

2.

Assessment criteria regarding the subject matter

The applicable criteria based on which the Company’s management compiled the pro forma parent company balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. and the pro forma consolidated financial information of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. are specified in General Technical Statement (CTG) 06—“Presentation of pro forma financial information”, of the Federal Accounting Council.


Table of Contents

The pro forma parent company balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. and the pro forma consolidated financial information of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. were compiled by the Company’s management to illustrate the impact of the transactions to be performed in the Company within the context of the Business Combination, according to the Protocol and Justification of Merger of Shares and of Company (“Protocol”). As part of this process, the Companies’ pro forma information was extracted by the Company’s management from the March 31, 2018 financial statements of the companies involved.

 

3.

Scope of our work

The purpose of the pro forma financial information referred to above is to exclusively illustrate the impact of the Business Combination on the parent company historical balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. and on the consolidated financial statements of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A., as if the Business Combination had occurred on the previous date selected for illustrative purposes. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual result of the transaction at March 31, 2018 would have been as presented.

We will conduct our work in accordance with the standard NBC TO 3420—“Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information included in a Prospectus”, issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), which is equivalent to the International Standard ISAE 3420, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Those standards require that the auditors plan and perform audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance that the Company’s management compiled, in all material respects, the pro forma parent company financial information based on the criteria established in the General Technical Communication (CTG) 06.

For the purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for the restatement or re-issuance of any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma parent company balance sheet, nor were we engaged to audit or review the financial statements and all other historical financial information used in the compilation of this pro forma parent company balance sheet.

These standards establish “Reasonable Assurance” and “Limited Assurance” engagements, which are the two categories of assurance engagements independent auditors may perform.

This proposal refers to the performance of Reasonable Assurance services, where the purpose of the auditor is to reduce the engagement risk to an acceptable, but not absolute, low level, taking into account the circumstances of the engagement, so that the independent auditor may use it as a basis when issuing its positive conclusion.

A reasonable assurance engagement on whether the pro forma consolidated financial information was compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with applicable criteria, involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria adopted by the Company’s management, when compiling the pro forma consolidated financial information, offer a reasonable basis for the presentation of the material effects directly attributable to the transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence as to whether:

 

3


Table of Contents
(i)

the corresponding pro forma adjustments provide the appropriate effect on these criteria; and

 

(ii)

the pro forma financial information reflects the adequate application of these adjustments made to the historical financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the independent auditor’s judgment, taking into consideration its understanding about the Company and about the nature of the transaction in relation to which the pro forma consolidated financial information has been compiled, as well as other circumstances relevant to the engagement. The engagement also involves assessing the overall presentation of the pro forma consolidated financial information.

The procedures to be performed will depend on our professional judgment, including those related to the assessment of the risks of material misstatements in the pro forma financial information. Therefore, the following procedures will be applied, among others:

 

   

Plan the work considering the terms agreed, the characteristics of the Pro Forma Financial Information and the criteria adopted in its preparation, the possible sources of evidence that support the Pro Forma Financial Information, our understanding of the risks that the Pro Forma Financial Information has significant errors, the activities performed by the management of Suzano to prepare the Pro Forma Financial Information;

 

   

Obtain an understanding of the characteristics of the Pro Forma Financial Information and prepare analytical procedures about the Pro Forma Financial Information;

 

   

Gather evidence on the Pro Forma Financial Information, such as comparison with the historical accounting information; and confirmation in writing of Suzano management, responsible for the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information.

The nature and extent of our procedures will depend on our assessment of the evidence gathered. Our procedures will be directed to the matters that, in our view, may significantly affect the Pro Forma Financial Information. When determining the nature and extent of our procedures, we will take into consideration:

 

   

the likelihood of existing a significant error;

 

   

our evaluation of the experience of Suzano management in financial and accounting matters that supports the preparation, by the management, of the Pro Forma Financial Information;

 

   

the level of influence of significant assumptions on the Pro Forma Financial Information;

 

   

the adequacy and reliability of the support information.

 

4.

Report to be issued

As a result of our work, we will issue a reasonable assurance report in accordance with the standard NBC TO 3420—“Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information included in a Prospectus”, issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), which is equivalent to the International Standard ISAE 3420, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) for each pro forma information described below:

Pro forma parent company balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A.; and

 

   

Pro forma consolidated financial information of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A.

Our reports can be: unqualified, qualified, adverse or with a disclaimer, as contemplated in the assurance standards. Furthermore, our reports may also include an emphasis of matter paragraph or a paragraph on other issues, considering the circumstances also addressed in the applicable assurance standards.

We expect to deliver a draft of our report for your review approximately two weeks after the completion of our fieldwork, as well as to issue our final report after receiving the management’s representation letter from Suzano and the authorization for its final issue. Compliance with the above deadlines is directly related to the delivery by the Suzano, on a timely basis, of all the documents, information and representation letter necessary for the realization of our services.

 

5.

Team and project schedule

PwCAI will assign a team formed by professionals with varied levels of experience and knowledge, with different expertise, as appropriate in the circumstances. This team will be led by a PwCAI’s partner, who will be responsible for the work.

We suggest that the professional appointed and identified by Suzano, at supervisory or management level, accompany the project leader assigned by the PwCAI’s partner in the management of the services contracted herein (“project”). This supervisor will monitor the work performed through meetings with the manager and the project leader of PwCAI, and will also act as agent to facilitate the team’s access to Suzano’s various areas.

 

6.

Professional fees and expenses

Our fee estimates are based on the time required by the individuals assigned to the engagement. Individual hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and experience and skill required.

We estimate that our fees for this assurance engagement will be R$ 200,000.00, after deducting taxes, charges and other contributions that may be due on the services contracted, plus out-of-pocket expenses. This estimate takes into account the agreed-upon level of preparation and assistance from the Company personnel, we will advise management should this not be provided or should any other circumstances arise which may cause actual time to exceed the estimate.

Our fees will be billed in a single invoice falling due July 25, 2018. The invoice is due and payable upon receipt.

Our fees take the following into consideration:

 

(a)

Support from company personnel for the prior preparation of analyses (requests for analyses), as well as the identification and separation of documents on files, and the supply of information in response to our inquiries. We emphasize that the correct, full and timely completion of requests for analyses (to be prepared in advance) is critical for the assignment to be completed efficiently and within the proposed budgeted hours.

 

(b)

Fees for additional consultations involving our specialized departments or services will be charged separately, and the fees will be discussed with and approved by you prior to the issuance of the related invoices.

Table of Contents
(c)

Reimbursement for expenses, such as transportation (air or land), lodging, meals, telephone calls, fax, mileage, etc., will be billed to you at cost through separate periodic debit notes.

 

(d)

The fees shall be subject to revision by the parties whenever there is a contractual imbalance because of changes in the economic and financial environment of the country, or if there is an increase in the scope of the contracted services, as formalized in writing through an addendum executed by both parties.

 

(e)

Our fees do not include certain taxes, charges and other contributions on fees for services, as required by legislation as of the billing date. Such taxes, charges and contributions will be added to each of the services to be billed.

Suzano will make the relevant payment up to the maturity date. In the event of late payment, Suzano, by law, will be considered to be in default, and the outstanding balance will accrue a fine of 2% (two per cent) plus interest on arrears of 1% (one per cent) per month plus monetary adjustment on a “pro rata die” basis, based on the General Market Price Index (IGP-M) published by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV). A delay in payment will further allow PwCAI, at its own discretion and without prejudice to the possibility of termination of the current contract, to interrupt the provision of the services until the payment is settled, through an express communication to Suzano, and such situation will not give rise to any claim by Suzano regarding due dates for the contracted services, which will be postponed for as many days as the payment delay mentioned herein.

Any additional services that you may request and that we agree to provide will be the subject of separate written arrangements.

 

7.

Responsibilities of Suzano

The pro forma financial information subject to our assurance engagement is prepared under the responsibility of management. Management is responsible for the internal controls necessary to allow the preparation of such information free of material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. The contracting of assurance services does not relieve management of this responsibility. Management is also responsible for making available to the auditor all significant information used when preparing such information, such as records, documentation, and other matters, as well as additional information that the auditor may be requested from management for the purposes of the service proposed herein and providing unrestricted access to Suzano personnel as the auditor may deem necessary to obtain evidence for the assurance engagement.

Management has the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and errors. In this context, an effective internal control structure reduces the possibility that fraud and errors could occur or, at a minimum, contributes to their being detected, either by management or by the independent auditor.

Limitations exist that are inherent to all assurance engagements, since the analyzed information is submitted to selective testing. Therefore, fraud, error, or cases of non-compliance may occur and remain undetected. Furthermore, non-financial data may be subject to more inherent limitations than financial data, due to the nature and the methods used to determine, calculate, and estimate these data.

Table of Contents

Our work will not include a detailed testing of transactions to the extent that would be necessary to disclose errors or fraud that would cause material effects on the information that is subject of our assurance engagement. However, we will communicate to you any such matters that come to our attention. In this context, the concept of materiality is considered in relation to the information that is subject of our work taken as a whole and not in relation to an absolute or isolated effect.

As required by assurance standards, we will make specific inquiries of management and other Suzano personnel about the representations made related to assurance, such as criteria for assessment and the effectiveness of internal controls. Those standards also require that we obtain a representation letter from the senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer, covering matters that are material to the subject of our assurance engagement. Additionally, management agrees to inform us of facts that may affect the information that is the subject matter of the assurance, of which it may have become aware during the period between the date of our report and the date of its utilization/publication. The results of our testing, the responses to our inquiries and the written representations of management will comprise the evidential matter upon which we intend to rely in forming our conclusion on the information that is the subject of our work.

Attention: To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

To

Eucalipto Holding S.A.

Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 1355 – 10º andar

São Paulo - SP

June 15, 2018

Dear Sirs,

 

1

PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, established in the city of São Paulo, capital of the State of São Paulo, and headquartered at Avenida Francisco Matarazzo, 1400, 9th, 10th and from the 13th to the 17th floors, Torre Torino, Água Branca, enrolled in the National Corporate Taxpayers’ Register (CNPJ/MF) under No. 61.562.112/0001-20 (“PwCAI”), is pleased to present our proposal to perform audit services for your company. The purpose of this letter is to confirm our understanding with respect to our and your responsibilities in connection with our engagement as auditors of Eucalipto Holding S.A. (“Company”), with regard to its balance sheet at March 31, 2018. The terms of this letter will remain effective until amended, in writing, with the agreement of both parties.

 

2

We will audit the balance sheet of Eucalipto Holding S.A. as at March 31, 2018 and the related accompanying notes, prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The purpose of our audit is to issue an appraisal report of the Company’s equity based on the accounting records on that date. Upon completion of our audit, we will provide you with the appraisal report in Portuguese and in English.

 

3

We will discuss with you a timetable for our work, which will include a final visit after the balance sheet is delivered to us for audit. We expect to deliver a draft of our appraisal report for your review approximately two weeks after the completion of our field work, as well as to issue our final appraisal report after receiving the management’s representation letter. Compliance with the above deadlines is directly related to the delivery by Eucalipto Holding S.A., on a timely basis, of all documents, information, and the representation letter necessary for the performance of our services.

 

4

Our appraisal report will cover the two aspects described below:

 

   

If the audit was conducted in conformity with approved auditing standards and if we have applied all the technical audit procedures we deemed necessary in the circumstances.

 

   

If the balance sheet was prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil in accordance with the above terms.

 

(DC3) Secreta – Altamente Confidencial


Table of Contents

An appraisal report will not include a modified opinion given to the nature and purpose of such a report. If we face any limitation to the scope of our work, we may decide not to continue with our work and demand the payment for the hours incurred up to the moment when the limitation was identified and upon the conclusion that issuing an unmodified report is not practicable. However, our appraisal report may include an emphasis of matter paragraph or a paragraph on other matters, considering the circumstances also described in the auditing standards.

 

5

We will conduct our audit in accordance with the Brazilian Standards on Auditing, issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), more specifically in accordance with Technical Communication 03/2014 (R1), issued by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (IBRACON) and approved by the CFC through Technical Communication CTA 20/2014 (R1). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements established in the Code of Professional Ethics and Professional Standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and also that the audit be planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. The risks of not detecting a material misstatement that may result from fraud are higher than those arising from errors, since fraud may involve intentional acts of circumventing the internal controls, collusions, forgeries, omissions or false presentations and representations. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not the guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance with the Brazilian Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. These misstatements may result from fraud or error and are considered material when, individually or as whole, they may influence, within a reasonable perspective, the economic decisions made by users based on the related financial statements.

 

6

Due to the limitations inherent to the audit process and to the internal control structure, there is an inevitable risk that significant errors may not be detected, even if the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with applicable auditing standards. Our risk assessment will consider internal controls that are significant for preparing the balance sheet that is appropriate in the circumstances, but not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal controls. However, we will report in writing any significant deficiencies in the internal control structure that may be relevant for the audit of the balance sheet if identified during our audit procedures. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Company’s management.

 

7

The balance sheet to be audited is the responsibility of management, which is responsible for the proper preparation and presentation of the balance sheet in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, as applicable, and for the internal control structure necessary to enable the preparation the balance sheets free of any material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. The audit of the balance sheet does not relieve management of this responsibility. Management is also responsible for making available to the auditor all significant information used when preparing the balance sheet, such as accounting records, related documents and other matters, as well as additional information that may be requested from management for audit purposes, and providing unrestricted access to company personnel as the auditor may deem necessary to obtain audit evidence.


Table of Contents
8

In the preparation of the balance sheet, management is responsible for evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, when applicable, the matters related to the analysis of going concern and the use of this accounting basis in the preparation of the balance sheet, unless management intends to liquidate the Company or cease its operations and does not have any other realistic alternative to avoid that the Company discontinues its activities. In our audit, we will conclude about the adequacy of the management’s use of the going concern accounting basis and, based on audit evidence obtained, if there is significant uncertainty in relation to events or circumstances that may cause significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that there is significant doubt, we must highlight in our appraisal report the related disclosures in the balance sheet or include a modification in our opinion, if such disclosures are inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of our appraisal report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

9

As required by Brazilian Standards on Auditing, we will make specific inquiries of management and others about the representations embodied in the balance sheet and the effectiveness of internal control over transactions, records and financial reporting. Those standards also require that we obtain a representation letter from certain members of senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer, covering matters which are material to the balance sheet. Additionally, management agrees to inform us of facts that may affect the balance sheet of which it may have become aware during the period between the date of the appraisal report and the date on which the balance sheet is published. The results of our audit tests, the responses to our inquiries and the written representations of management comprise the evidential matter upon which we intend to rely in forming our opinion on the appraisal report.

 

10

Management has the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud and errors. In this context, an effective internal control structure reduces the possibility that fraud and errors could occur or, at a minimum, contributes to their being detected, either by management or by the independent auditor.

 

11

Consequently, although we cannot guarantee their detection, we will plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance of detecting errors or fraud that would have a material effect on the balance sheet. Audits are based on the concept of selective testing of the data underlying the balance sheet. Audits are, therefore, subject to the limitation that errors, fraud and illegal acts having a direct and material impact on the balance sheet, if they exist, may not be detected. In addition, our consideration of existing control systems will not be sufficient to allow us to provide assurance regarding the reliability and effectiveness of the internal controls related to transactions, records and financial reporting.

 

12

Our audit will not include a detailed audit of transactions to the extent that would be necessary to disclose errors or fraud that did not cause a material misstatement of the balance sheet. However, we will communicate to you any such matters that come to our attention. In this context, the concept of materiality is considered in relation to the balance sheet taken as a whole and not in relation to an absolute or isolated effect.

 

13

Auditing standards require that we read the annual management report and/or other documents that contain the balance sheet based on which we issue our appraisal report. The purpose of this procedure is to consider whether this other information is consistent with information appearing in the audited balance sheet. Notwithstanding, in conformity with auditing standards, our opinion on the balance sheet does not cover the annual management report or other documents that accompany the balance sheet and, therefore, we will not express an audit opinion or another type of conclusion or assurance with regard to such information.

 

14

If you intend to publish or reproduce, in printed form or electronically (e.g. on an internet website), our report together with the balance sheet or otherwise make reference to PwCAI in a document that contains other information, management agrees to provide PwCAI with the draft of such document to read, review


Table of Contents
  and approve before the document is distributed to third parties (regulatory agencies, stock exchanges etc.). We emphasize that our appraisal report must be always fully reproduced together with the complete financial statements, including the accompanying notes.

 

15

If you wish to include our appraisal report on the Company’s equity in a securities offering document or in some other form of document, you agree that you will obtain our prior permission or consent. Likewise, no reference to PwCAI may be included in such documents without our prior consent. Any agreement to perform work in connection with these documents will be a separate engagement and subject to a separate contract.

 

16

Eucalipto Holding S.A. agrees to provide us the respective documents in electronic format with which we are associated.

 

17

Eucalipto Holding S.A. agrees to provide, on a timely basis, a copy of reports, notices or orders issued by the regulatory entities to which the Company is subject and which are, directly or indirectly, related to its balance sheet and, therefore, may be of interest to the independent auditor. Eucalipto Holding S.A. also agrees, in cases not prohibited by law, to immediately inform PwCAI of the receipt of any official communication, official letter, written notice, assessment notice, court order or request (“communications” or “notices”) from the authorities requiring the presentation of information and/or clarifications about frauds or alleged frauds. Eucalipto Holding S.A. also agrees to provide PwCAI with a copy of the statements, answers, considerations and other communications sent to such authorities in response to the communications received.

 

18

Our audit will be performed with the main objective of issuing an appraisal report on the Company’s equity, prepared in connection with the business combination of Suzano Papel e Celulose S.A. and Fibria Celulose S.A., and will not be planned or performed to meet specific transaction requirements or expectations of any third party. Therefore, items of possible interest to a third party will not be specifically addressed, and matters may exist that would be assessed differently by a third party, possibly in connection with a specific transaction.

 

19

We are at the disposal of the Statutory Audit Board, if established, to clarify or provide information and investigate specific facts within our professional competence, when requested by the Board in accordance with the law and observing the terms and the scope defined herein. If the Statutory Audit Board requires our presence at its meetings, we should be formally communicated in advance.

 

20

Furthermore, we will attend the Stockholders’ Meeting approving the appraisal report on the Company’s equity in case we are requested to clarify and provide information on matters within our professional competence. In this case, we should be formally and directly notified in advance regarding the place, date and time of the stockholders’ meeting.

 

21

The working papers and audit files created by us during our audit work, including electronic documents and files, are the exclusive property of PwCAI, according to the standards governing our professional activities.

 

22

By signing this engagement letter, Eucalipto Holding S.A. agrees to indemnify PwCAI for any costs it may incur in connection with third-party claims arising from the audit work performed at the request of Eucalipto Holding S.A. other than those resulting from our illegal activity or non-compliance with professional standards.


Table of Contents
23

PwCAI will be liable for any losses or damages to Eucalipto Holding S.A., whether contractual or non-contractual, as a result of proven acts or omissions by PwCAI through its representatives, up to the total fees agreed herein. Such limitation will not apply if the losses arise from malicious acts or fraud, as duly evidenced in a legal proceeding.

 

24

PricewaterhouseCoopers refers to the network of member firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity. Within the context of this network, information obtained or not from its clients, to the extent it is needed for the execution of any service contracted with PwCAI, may be shared by PricewaterhouseCoopers firms, while maintaining its confidentiality. Therefore, by agreeing with the terms of this engagement letter, you are also agreeing that the various PricewaterhouseCoopers firms may share information among them, including information related to the Company. This information may be processed and used in PwCAI applications that may be hosted or operated by third parties who have committed to confidentiality and security in accordance with PwCAI’s policies.


Table of Contents
25

Notwithstanding the contents of the previous paragraph, in the course of providing the audit services, PwCAI may, at its discretion, draw on resources of other entities and companies comprising the global network of PricewaterhouseCoopers (“Other PricewaterhouseCoopers Firm(s)”). However, the responsibility for the preparation and issuance of the appraisal report related to this engagement letter is and will continue to be exclusively that of PwCAI, and you agree, pursuant to the terms herein stated, not to file any claim (due to contractual, civil or other provisions) against any Other PricewaterhouseCoopers Firm(s) or against their respective partners, employees and nominees in relation to the audit services which are the object of this engagement letter. Any professionals of Other PricewaterhouseCoopers Firm(s) involved in the rendering of the services provided for in this engagement letter will act only on behalf of PwCAI. PwCAI assumes full and exclusive responsibility for the actions of the professionals of Other PricewaterhouseCoopers Firm(s) involved in the execution of the services detailed herein, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 23.

 

26

As you are aware, various standards as well as provisions related to money laundering prevention are in effect, including Laws 9,613/98 and 12,683/12. These laws require auditors, accounting advisors and consultants to report certain circumstances to the Council for Financial Activities Control (COAF), as described in those laws and in the regulations approved by COAF and/or other regulatory agencies of our professional activities. Therefore, you acknowledge that you are aware of the provisions of those laws, as well as of PwCAI’s reporting obligations under those laws. You also acknowledge that if PwCAI is required to report any circumstances under these laws, such communication is not and will not be deemed a breach of our professional and/or contractual obligation to preserve client confidentiality.

 

27

During our engagement, we may develop software, including spreadsheets, documents, databases and other electronic tools to support our work. In some cases, these tools, data and documents may be provided to Eucalipto Holding S.A. upon formal request. As these tools were developed specifically for our purposes and without consideration of any purpose for which Eucalipto Holding S.A. might use them, they are made available on an “as is” basis for the exclusive use of Eucalipto Holding S.A. and should not be distributed to or shared with any third party. Furthermore, we can provide no representations or warranties as to the sufficiency or appropriateness of the software tools for any purpose for which Eucalipto Holding S.A. may use them. Any software tools developed specifically for Eucalipto Holding S.A. will be covered by a separate engagement letter.


Table of Contents
28

Our working papers and information included in them, as well as the information transmitted and/or received from you, may, at our sole discretion, be stored in an electronic virtual environment, at an external provider with recognized technical capacity, so that these documents and information may be better protected from the risks of destruction, loss and unauthorized access. Additionally, we inform that, to facilitate communication, we may from time to time correspond with you electronically (e-mail), which may be intercepted, corrupted, lost, destroyed, delivered late or incompletely, or otherwise be adversely altered by third parties, notwithstanding our measures to protect the violation of our electronic communication systems.

 

29

Our fee estimates are based on the time required by the professionals assigned to the engagement. Individual hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and experience and skill required.

 

30

We estimate that our fee for this audit engagement will be R$ 20,000.00 after deducting taxes, charges and other contributions that may be due on the services contracted, plus out-of-pocket expenses. This estimate takes into account the agreed-upon level of preparation and assistance from the Company personnel; we will advise management should this not be provided or should any other circumstances arise which may cause actual time to exceed the estimate.

 

31

Our fees will be billed in a single invoice falling due July 25, 2018. Invoices are due and payable upon receipt.

 

32

Our fees take the following into consideration:

 

(a)

Support from company personnel for prior preparation of analyses (requests for analyses) and account reconciliations, which are necessary for the monthly closing of accounts and to prepare the balance sheet, and critical for the audit, as well as the identification and separation of documents on file, and the supply of information in response to our inquiries.

We emphasize that the correct, full and timely completion of requests for analyses (to be prepared in advance) is critical for the assignment to be completed efficiently and within the proposed budgeted hours. Our process of requesting our clients to prepare these analyses and schedules is actually advantageous and cost-effective to the client, since our time is exclusively dedicated to the review of information and data relating to the accounts, rather than their compilation.

 

(b)

Fees for additional consultations involving our specialized departments or services will be charged separately, and the fees will be discussed with and approved by you prior to the issuance of the related invoices.


Table of Contents
(c)

Eucalipto Holding S.A. agrees to indemnify PwCAI for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the provision of the services determined herein, including reasonable expenses with travel, transportation, meals and lodging, as long as the respective supporting documents are provided. PwCAI shall submit the related debit note with a maturity of 15 (fifteen) days after its submission, together with the required original receipts. We establish herein that Eucalipto Holding S.A. shall approve in advance and in writing any individual expenses exceeding R$ 5,000.00.

 

(d)

The fees shall be subject to revision by the parties whenever there is a contractual imbalance because of changes in the economic and financial environment of the country, changes in the scope of the contracted services or variances in the actual hours incurred in relation to the budget originally proposed, which will be formalized in writing through an addendum executed by both parties.

 

(e)

Our fees do not include certain taxes, charges and other contributions on fees for services, as required by legislation as of the billing date. Such taxes, charges and contributions will be added to each of the services to be billed.

 

33

Eucalipto Holding S.A. will make the relevant payment up to the maturity date. In the event of late or non-payment, Eucalipto Holding S.A., by law, will be considered to be in default, and the outstanding balance will accrue a fine of 2% (two per cent) plus interest on arrears of 1% (one per cent) per month plus monetary adjustment on a “pro rata die” basis, based on the General Market Price Index (IGP-M) published by the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV). A delay in payment over 30 days as from the maturity date will further allow PwCAI, at its own discretion and without prejudice to the possibility of termination of the current contract, to interrupt the provision of the services until the payment is settled, through express communication to Eucalipto Holding S.A., and such situation will not give rise to any claim by Eucalipto Holding S.A. regarding the due dates for the contracted services, which will be postponed for as many days as the payment delay mentioned herein.

 

34

Any additional services that you may request and that we agree to provide will be the subject of separate written arrangements.

 

35

It is our desire to provide you at all times with a high quality service to meet your needs. If, at any time, you would like to discuss with us how our services to you can be improved or if you are dissatisfied with any aspects of our services, please raise the matter immediately with the partner responsible for that aspect of our services to you. If, for any reason, you would prefer to discuss these matters with someone other than that partner, please contact Francisco Fagundes, who is the lead audit partner of our office in São Paulo, at +55 11 3674-2631. In this way, we are able to ensure that your concerns will be dealt with carefully and promptly.

 

36

Please note that PwCAI maintains a client satisfaction monitoring program, which includes interviews and written surveys of selected clients each year.

 

37

The contract formed by this letter, when accepted by you, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Brazil and it is hereby irrevocably agreed and accepted that the courts of São Paulo shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim, litigation or dispute, including, without limitation, claims for compensation or counterclaims which may arise out of, or in connection with, such contract. Each party irrevocably waives any claim for an action that has been brought in an inappropriate forum or in courts that do not have the appropriate jurisdiction.

 

38
