- --------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
(1) Shares held through Queluz Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands
company, and Usina Costa Pinto S.A. Acucar e Alcool, a Brazilian
corporation, both indirectly controlled by our controlling shareholder.
(2) Assuming that all of Cosan S.A.'s shareholders exchange common shares
issued by Cosan S.A. for Cosan Limited's class A common shares. If all of
the Cosan shareholders were to exchange their shares for our class B
series 2 common shares, instead of Cosan Limited's class A common shares,
52.2% of the voting power of Cosan Limited's share capital would be held
by the public, with the remaining 47.8% held by Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira
Mello. Based on the facts and circumstances, this would not represent a
