On June 12, 2012, an agreement was executed providing for a
direct participation in the Company to 11 Cereal Cooperatives
(Theal, Noralliance Dévéloppement, Axereal, Noriap, Agrial,
Comptoir Agricole d'Hochefelden, Uneal, Agralys, Epis-Centre,
Acolyance, Thémis Agro-Industrie), which shall hold a total
of 19.7% of Tereos Internacional common shares. Thus, the
direct participation of Tereos Participations in Tereos
Internacional - via TAI and Tereos do Brasil - will be
reduced from 88% to 68,3% and the shares of the Cereal
Cooperatives will become part of the "Free Float" of Tereos
Internacional. In the new corporate structure, there will be
no shareholders' agreement, and the shares held by the Cereal
Cooperatives will not be subject to any lock-up, being freely
negotiable.
The chart below presents the shareholding structure of Tereos
Internacional after the completion of the corporate
reorganization of TAI, which is estimated to be concluded by
July 9th, 2012.
