6 May 2010

(Curitiba) May 6, 2010 – Ferrolease Participações S.A. (“Ferrolease” or the “Company”), an emerging company in the field of railroad equipment leasing, announced today the successful completion of its capitalization process through the issue of R$15 million (approximately US$8.2 million) in convertible debentures, subscribed by the private equity fund Jardim Botãnico VC I. The fund is managed by Jardiim Botânico Investimentos (“JBI”), an independent asset manager.

Ben Huber, one of Ferrolease´s founders and shareholder, stated that “JBVCI´s investment will catalyze our wish for expanding our operation in the industry of railroad equipment rental. The new financial resources will be employed in the acquisition of new wagons and more modern equipment to meet the demands of our clients.
