Clarification on Published News Articles
Rio de Janeiro, November 3rd, 2015 - Cetip S.A. - Mercados Organizados ('Cetip' or 'Company') (BM&FBOVESPA: CTIP3), Latin America's largest depositary of private fixed income securities, Brazil's largest private asset clearinghouse and the leading company in providing electronic solutions for the delivery of information required for the registration of contracts and financial restrictions by transit bodies, in response to the Notice No. 441/2015/CVM/SEP/GEA-1received today, informs that:
As disclosed in the Material Fact published today, Cetip has been approached by BM&FBOVESPA S.A. - Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros ('BM&FBOVESPA') in order to engage in a negotiation between the companies. To this end, additional claims that have been made regarding the potential association, on 11.02.2015, in Lauro Jardim's Blog, and, today, in O Estado de São Paulo's newspaper, 'Economia & Negócios' section, under the heading 'Bovespa negocia fusão com Cetip', are imprecise, since there is no concrete fact beyond the preliminary negotiation aforementioned. The claims that 'negotiations are moving ahead at a fast pace' and that 'the combination of the two companies should be announced soon' are particularly untrue.
In Cetip's understanding, such preliminary negotiations did not require a Material Fact announcement, given that, up until this moment, there is no proposal on terms and conditions of a potential combination, much less binding negotiations.
However, considering that BM&FBOVESPA published a Material Fact today, Cetip decided to do the same, solely with the purpose of assuring symmetry and fairness of information between our shareholders and other market participants.
Finally, it is worth highlighting that Cetip will keep the market informed in case there is any Material Fact on this subject.
