Ref.:Request for clarification on news item
Dear Sirs,
A news item published on the website of the “Blog do Ancelmo Gois” section of the “O Globo” newspaper, on March 29, 2017, mentions that CCR is preparing a bid to purchase Invepar, among other information.
We have not identified this information in the documents submitted by this company via the Empresas.NET system. If the company has filed said information, please state the documents and the pages where it is located and the date and time when it was submitted.
It is worth noting that the company should disclose periodical and occasional information, as well as other information of interest to the market via the Empresas.NET system, ensuring its wide and immediate dissemination and the equal treatment of its investors and other market participants.
That said, we request clarifications on the above-mentioned news item by March 30, 2017 at 9:00 a.m., without prejudice to the sole paragraph of article 6 of CVM Instruction 358/02, confirming whether the information therein is true, as well as other important information.
The company’s response should be submitted through the IPE module, selecting the category “Material Fact” or the category “Notice to the Market”, the type “Clarifications on CVM/Bovespa” and, subsequently, the subject “News item published by the media”, which will result in the simultaneous transmission of the file to the BM&FBOVESPA and the CVM. The option to respond through a Material Fact does not mean that CVM will not make inquiries to determine the responsibility for the untimely disclosure of the information, pursuant to CVM Instruction 358/02.
We emphasize the obligation, pursuant to the sole paragraph of article 4 of CVM Instruction 358/02, to question the company’s management and controlling shareholders in order to ascertain if they were cognizant of information that should be disclosed to the market.
The file to be sent should include a transcript of the content of the above consultation before the company’s response.
This request falls within the scope of the Cooperation Agreement entered into between the CVM and BM&FBOVESPA on December 13, 2011, and failure to comply with it may subject the company to a fine by the Corporate Relations Department (Superintendência de Relações com Empresas – SEP) of the CVM, in accordance with CVM Instruction 452/07.
Sincerely,
