TO DO WHAT MUST BE DONE THIS IS OUR COMMITMENT.

Samarco is a Brazilian company, owned 50-50 by Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda., which has been producing iron ore pellets for almost 40 years. Its industrial facilities include three concentrators at the Germano unit in the municipalities of Ouro Preto and Mariana in Minas Gerais, and four pellet plants and a sea port in Ubu, Espírito Santo, on the coast. These two units are connected by two pipelines, of some 400 km each, which transport the iron ore slurry from Minas Gerais to Espírito Santo, crossing 25 municipalities. We deeply regret the Fundão Dam collapse in November 2015 and its impacts on the population, the communities and the environment. We understand that we are responsible for the huge task of trying to do what is right. To reiterate this commitment, in the beginning of March 2016 we signed an Agreement together with our shareholders, VALE and BHP Billiton, and the Federal Government as well as the State Governments of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. The document was homologated by the Brazilian justice on May 5th. The result of this Agreement is the creation of a private Foundation which will be responsible for the implementation of about 40 programs focused on two main types of actions – socioeconomic and socioenvironmental. In addition to new proposed projects, the document encompasses all of the emergency actions which Samarco has already been carrying out since last November to provide relief for the impacted people and to mitigate the environmental impacts.
