The original texts were made available on the Governance Webpage. Then, the aforementioned Executive Officer also presented material with a proposal to change the value authority granted to the Company’s Executive Officers to carry out financial transactions, considering, in particular, the Company’s current size (after business combination with Fibria Celulose S.A.), the significant financial volumes transacted in this new size and the strong devaluation of the real against the dollar that lagged the value authority currently in force, generating greater bureaucracy and excessive circulation of documents in the regular activities developed by the Company’s Treasury.
