4 TO DO WHAT MUST BE DONE THIS IS OUR COMMITMENT. Samarco is a Brazilian company, owned 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 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 affected people and to mitigate the environmental impacts.

Possible locations for the reconstruction of the Bento Rodrigues and the Paracatu de Baixo communities are already being identified and will be chosen with community participation. All students from the affected communities in the Mariana and Barra Longa region have concluded the 2015 school year and are up to date with the 2016 school year. 786 hectares were revegetated along the Doce, Carmo and Gualaxo rivers. The measure protects the riverbank areas and prevents sediments from being deposited into the riverbeds. Water quality is being monitored at 113 different sites along the Doce River and in marine areas near the mouth - 29 sites at sea and another 84 along the Doce River. Seven damaged bridges were rebuilt within 90 days, that being one at every 15 days, and the access to the communities was fully reestablished emergency financial assistance cards have been distributed to affected individuals.
