EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment to our report on Form 6-K/A, which was originally furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 19, 2009 (the “Original Form 6-K”), is being filed solely for the purposes of amending the Original Form 6-K to restate our unaudited interim consolidated financial information at June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (the “Financial Statements”) to reflect a correction to the provision for contingencies previously recorded as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 relating to civil claims with respect to the rights of holders of Financial Participation Agreements, particularly in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (see notes 2(d), 21 and 31 to the Financial Statements). Therefore, the information included in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2009 and in the income statement and statements of changes to shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, note 6 (Other Operating Expenses, net), note 8 (Income and Social Contribution Taxes), note 13 (Escrow Deposits), note 21 (Provision for contingencies), note 29 (Summary of the difference between Brazilian GAAP and US GAAP), and note 30(b) (Segment Reporting) is being restated to adjust the accounting balances and disclosures to correct this error.

This Amendment has not been updated except as required to reflect the revisions stated above. This Amendment only amends and restates the Financial Statements and revises information in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as required to reflect the revisions described above and does not reflect events that have occurred after the date on which the Original Form 6-K was furnished to the SEC, or modify or update other disclosures presented therein.
