The management of Votorantim Celulose e Papel S.A. ("VCP") and Aracruz Celulose S.A. ("Aracruz") wish to clarify, through this announcement, that there has been a mistatement during the investors conference held this morning, when it was affirmed, incorrectly, that shareholders of common shares issued by Aracruz would have tag along rights as a result of the sale of the Aracruz shares held by Arapar S.A. As expressly stated in the Material Fact, if the proposed transaction materializes, the resulting transfer of common shares will take place only among shareholders who currently compose the controlling group of Aracruz. As a result, there will be no tag along rights for the other shareholders of Aracruz, since the provisions of section 254-A of the Brazilian Corporations Law (nº 6.404/76) will not apply in this case.
