Annex to the Proposal of Capital Increase through Capitalization of Reserves

Under Article 14 and Annex 14 of CVM Rule No. 481/09, we highlight the following:

DESCRIPTION INFORMATION
1. Inform the capital increase amount R$2,565,806,871.32
2. Inform the new capital amount R$50,000,000,000.00
3. Inform whether the capital increase will
occur through (a) the conversion of
debentures into shares, (b) the exercise of
preemptive rights or subscription bonds, (c)
the capitalization of profits or reserves, or
(d) subscription of new shares. The proposal provides for the capital
increase, through the capitalization of
reserves, without the issuance of new
shares.
4. Provide a detailed explanation on the
capital increase reasons and its legal and
economic consequences Regarding Article 199 of Law 6,404
(with the new wording given by Law
11,638) the proposal aims to capitalize
the excess of profit reserves comparing
to the capital. Having carried out the
distribution of earnings from the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009,
profit reserves exceed paid-up capital
by R$1,838,015,899.94, the proposal is
to increase capital, without the
issuance of new shares, in the total
amount of R$2,565,806,871.32 comprised
of (i) part of the expansion/investment
reserve in the amount of
R$2,434,823,990.37, (ii) the
reinvestment reserve in the amount of
R$41,140,354.68, and (iii) of the tax
incentive reserve in the amount of
R$89,842,526.27.
The proposed capital increase shall be
deemed as an accounting increase, in
which the amount of the reserve account
is reassigned to the capital account.
The current proposal does not bear
economic consequences, since it is
considered a transfer within the equity
account.
As a result of the approval of the
capital increase proposal, the caput of
Article 5 of Vale’s Bylaws shall read
as follows:
“Article 5º — The paid-up capital
amounts to R$50,000,000,000.00 (fifty
billion Reais)
