The Capex estimates shown here merely reflect the current estimates or expectations of the Company's management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and in no way constitute a promise of performance. These Capex estimates represent forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The terms "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "foresees," "intends," "plans," "projects," "aims," "shall" and other similar terms aim to identify such forecasts, which evidently involve risks or uncertainties that may or not be foreseen by the Company. Information on business prospects, projections and financial targets constitutes mere forecasts based on management's current expectations regarding the future of the Company and its subsidiaries. These expectations depend on market conditions and on the economic scenario in Brazil and the countries where the Company operates and the sectors in which it operates. Any change in the perception or the factors described above could cause actual results to differ from the estimates presented here.
