The procedures relating to holders of ADSs are described in the prospectus referred to below.
A registration statement on Form F-3 (" F- 3 " ) has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC ") regarding the preferred shares, ADSs and the related subscription rights to be offered in the United States of America and has been declared effective. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy preferred shares, ADSs or the related subscription rights in the United States or to U.S. persons (as such term is defined under Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")), nor shall there be any sale of subscription rights, preferred shares or ADSs in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state.
The prospects relating to the offering of subscription rights, preferred shares and ADSs may be obtained from the following address: MacKenzie Partners, Inc., 105 Madison Avenue , New York , New York , 10016 , U.S.A. , tel. (212) 929-5500.
The rights offered to U.S. holders of TCP common shares may be transferred by U.S. holders only in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The offering of rights described herein is made for the acquisition of securities of a Brazilian company. The offering is subject to disclosure requirements in Brazil , which are different from those of the United States .
It may be difficult for a person in the United States subscribing for shares to enforce its rights and any claim it may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, given that the Company is located in Brazil and some or all of its officers or directors are residents of Brazil or of other foreign countries. A person in the United States subscribing for shares may not be able to sue the Company or its officers or directors in a Brazilian court or in a court in another country outside the United States for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a Brazilian company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
