Vale clarifies on documentation required for Shareholders’ Meetings
Rio de Janeiro, October 4th, 2017 — Vale (Vale S.A.) clarifies that — given the fact that an incorrect information was exchanged between J.P. Morgan, a third-party, acting as custodian agent for foreign investors in Brazil, and Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. and its clients, regarding Vale’s documentation requirements — it does not require notarization and/or consularization on any documents for participation in person or by proxy on its Shareholders’ Meetings. Vale also does not require sworn translation of documents in English or Spanish.
These requirements are in place since the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (ESM) held on June 27th, 2017, when Vale adopted more flexibility in the documentation process. The same flexibility not only will be applied for both the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting and the Special Class A Preferred Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on October 18th, 2017, but also Vale will accept all documents already submitted by shareholders for the ESM held on June 27th, 2017 as long as the documents, including the power of attoney (PoA), are still valid on October 18th, 2017.
Other information regarding the procedures and documentation necessary for participation in the Shareholders’ Meetings can be found in the Manuals for Participation, available to shareholders on Vale’s website (http://www.vale.com/brasil/en/investors/company/corporate-governance/notices-minutes-corporate-documents/pages/default.aspx) and on the websites of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (www.cvm.gov.br), the B3 Brazilian Stock Exchange (www.b3.com.br) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov).
