Ref.: Call of Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting
Dear Sirs,
Reference is made to the letter sent by you on July 31, 2018 (jointly referred to as “GWI”), through which GWI requests the call of an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Gafisa S.A. (“Company”) to resolve on: (i) the removal of all members of the Board of Directors; and (ii) the election of new members to occupy the positions of the Board of Directors (the “Call Request” and the “Meeting”).
Pursuant to letter “c” of the sole paragraph of article 123 of Law No. 6,404/76 (“Corporations Law”) in order to allow the Board of Directors to call the Meeting and, at the same time, provide all shareholders of the Company the information required by CVM Instruction No. 481/09 (“ICVM 481”), it is essential that GWI submits the motives required for this request, i.e. that GWI submits the information listed in items 12.5 to 12.10 of the Reference Form, with regards to the candidates indicated or supported by GWI, including the names of such candidates to be included in the mandatory remote voting form.
It should be underlined that, as provided by article 6, sole paragraph of ICVM 481, such documents, as mentioned above, which constitute the required motives, shall be disclosed to the market until the date of the publication of the first announcement of the Meeting’s call.
Accordingly, without the appropriate motives, the call of the Meeting by the Company’s management and, thus, its occurrence becomes impossible, since it would be contrary to the express requirement of CVM.
In that sense, pursuant to the duties that are imposed to us by ICVM 481, as well as the obligations imposed on the shareholder intending to call the Meeting, the failure to comply with said instruction could eventual justify the beginning of an inspection proceeding by CVM, including in the exercise of the duties provided by article 124, §5 of the Corporations Law, which the management is obligated to avoid.
Thus, the purpose of this letter is to request GWI to provide the appropriate motives to the Company’s Investor Relations Officer, through the e-mail ccalheiros@gafisa.com.br, by forwarding the information and documents described above, to allow the Board of Directors to meet to lawful call the Meeting.
Sincerely,
GAFISA S.A. |
