MATERIAL INFORMATION RELEASE
Pursuant to the provisions of article 157, paragraph 4, of Law nº 6,404/76 and of CVM Instruction nº 358/2002, and in accordance with the Material Information releases published on January 20th and March 5th of 2009, ARACRUZ CELULOSE S.A. ("ARACRUZ") announces that it has received a communication from the Safra family, dated April 29, 2009, saying that, on that date, they consummated the sale of 127,506,457 common nominative shares issued by ARACRUZ, transferring 122,801,422 of those shares to São Teófilo Representações e Participações S.A., an affiliate of Votorantim Celulose e Papel S.A. (“VCP”), and 4,705,035 to VCP.
The settlement of this transaction with the Safra family reaffirms the ‘tag along’ rights provided for in the shareholders’ agreement between the Safra, Lorentzen, Moreira Salles and Almeida Braga families, and represents the consolidation of the earlier deal carried out with the Lorentzen, Moreira Salles and Almeida Braga families, awarding VCP, on April 29, 2009, the direct and indirect ownership of approximately 84% (eighty-four percent) of ARACRUZ’s voting capital.
