NOTICE
TO THE MARKET
COSAN S.A.
INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO (Cosan, Bovespa: CSAN3) and Rezende
Barbosa S.A. Administração e Participações (RB), holding company of Nova América
group, jointly called “Shareholders”, publicly inform the execution of a
Memorandum of Understanding, by means of which they will create Rumo Logística
S.A. (RUMO), a company specialized in the logistics of sugar and grains located
in the Port of Santos, São Paulo. The Shareholders have also entered into a
Private Instrument of Sale and Purchase Commitment of Shares by which Cosan will
acquire 49% of Teaçu Armazéns Gerais S.A. (Teaçu), a port terminal of sugar
export located in Santos, owned by RB, by the amount of R$119 million
reais.
According
to the Memorandum of Understanding, the Shareholders will contribute their port
assets and concessions of sugar export to the creation of RUMO. Cosan will
contribute its total share in the assets of Cosan Operadora Portuária S.A.
(Cosan Portuária), plus the 49% of the share it will acquire in Teaçu, and RB
will contribute the remaining 51% in Teaçu. The equity capital of RUMO will be
shared between the Shareholders, with 71.2% belonging to the shareholders of
Cosan Portuária and 28.8% to the shareholders of RB.
Thus, RUMO
will be created as the world’s largest logistical player on sugar exports, with
a static storage capacity of 435,000 tonnes and annual shipment capacity of 8.5
million tones of sugar or grains, operating both solid bulks and bagged
sugar.
The
Shareholders believe that the combination of the port assets and their unified
operation by means of RUMO, in addition to the exploration of other initiatives
in the handling and transportation of sugar and grains, will generate expressive
synergies, allowing RUMO to become one of the most competitive companies in the
logistics segment, bringing large benefits to its clients and to Brazil. The
effective concretion of this transaction is subject to condition precedent,
including the approval by the appropriate regulatory bodies and minority
shareholder.
