MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 9, 2017
Dear Shareholders,
The management of Gafisa S.A. (“ Company ” or “ Gafisa ”), pursuant to CVM Instruction No. 481 of December 17, 2009 (“ CVM Instruction No. 481/09 ”), hereby submits to the Company’s shareholders a proposal on the matters to be resolved at the Company’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to be held, on second call notice, on February 20, 2017, at 11 a.m. (“ Management Proposal ” and “ Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting ”, respectively), namely the:
(i)                       offer to the Company’s shareholders the preemptive right, at the proportion of their respective equity interest in the Company’s capital stock, to acquire common shares representing up to 50% of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary Construtora Tenda S.A., a publicly-held company enrolled with CNPJ/MF No. 71.476.527/0001-35, NIRE 35.300.348.206 (“ Tenda ”), under the terms and for the purposes of Article 253, I of Law No. 6,404/76 (“ Preemptive Right ”), in view of the Company’s decision to sell part of the shares issued by Tenda to Jaguar Real Estate Partners, LP or one of its affiliates (“ Jaguar ”), as disclosed in the Material Fact dated as of December 14, 2016;
(ii)                     reduction of the Company’s capital stock in the total amount of R$219,510,000.00, resulting in a reduction from R$2,740,661,187.74 to R$2,521,151,187.74, without cancellation of shares, pursuant to Article 173 of Law No. 6,404/76, for being deemed as excessive, with the delivery to the Company’s shareholders of 1 common share issued by Tenda for each 1 common share issued by Gafisa, owned by the shareholder, after the reverse split, excluding the treasury shares, totalizing 27,000,000 common shares issued by Tenda, representing the other 50% of its total capital stock (“ Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction ”); and
(iii)                   restatement of the Company’s Bylaws in order to reflect the amendments resulting from the Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction.
I.                    Preemptive Right for the Admission of Shareholders in Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
As disclosed in the material facts of February 7, 2014, April 29, 2015, August 16, 2016 and December 14, 2016, the Company’s management has been conducting studies and analyzing opportunities to separate the business units of the Company and Tenda, its wholly-owned subsidiary, so that these entities become two publicly-held and independent companies (“ Separation ”).

 

After analyzing the available options during such period, the Company’s management decided to sell 50% of the shares representing Tenda’s total capital stock and deliver the remaining 50% of shares of Tenda’s total capital stock to Gafisa’s shareholders by means of the Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction.
Within the sale, and as released in the material fact of December 14, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Jaguar for the acquisition of, subject to compliance of certain conditions, shares representing, at least 20% and up to 30% of Tenda’s total capital stock, for the price of R$8.13 per share (“ Price per Share ”) (“ Jaguar Purchase and Sale ”). If, after the exercise of the Preemptive Right, less than 20% of Tenda’s shares remain available to be purchased, Jaguar may, at its sole discretion, acquire or not such remaining available shares.
Therefore, in compliance with provisions of Article 253, I, of Law No. 6,404/76, the Company will offer to its shareholders the Preemptive Right for the acquisition of shares representing up to 50% of Tenda’s capital stock, at the proportion of their respective equity interest in the Company’s capital, at the Price per Share, to be paid on spot, in cash, upon the exercise of the Preemptive Right.
The date for purposes of identifying the Company’s shareholders who will be entitled to acquire Tenda’s shares will be the business day immediately preceding the initial term for the exercise of the Preemptive Right (after market closes). This date will be informed in a notice to shareholders to be released upon the occurrence of the general shareholders’ meeting (“ Notice to Shareholders ”). Therefore, the Company’s shares will be traded ex-Preemptive Right starting on the first day of the term for the exercise of the Preemptive Right.
Once the term for the exercise of the Preemptive Right expires, the unsold shares ( sobras ) will be prorated between shareholders who expressed an interest in acquiring such unsold shares upon the exercise of their Preemptive Right, in the proportion  of shares that such shareholders have acquired prior to prorating, being admissible the option for the acquisition of an additional amount, up to the limit of the unsold shares, and executing, additionally, as applicable, the other terms and conditions of Article 171 of Law No. 6,404/76.
The Jaguar Purchase and Sale and the sale of Tenda’s shares to Gafisa’s shareholders who exercise the Preemptive Right (“ Preemptive Right Purchase and Sale ”) are subject to the conclusion of: ( i ) Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction; and ( ii ) Tenda’s capital stock reduction, approved at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Tenda held on December 14, 2016 (“ Tenda’s Capital Stock Reduction ”). In other words, the non-conclusion of Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction AND/OR Tenda’s Capital Stock Reduction for any reason, shall be deemed as a dissolving condition of the transaction that are subject-matter to Jaguar Purchase and Sale and to the Preemptive Right Purchase and Sale, and accordingly, these transactions (Jaguar Purchase and Sale and the Preemptive Right Purchase and Sale) will no longer produce any effects if Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction and/or Tenda’s Capital Stock Reduction do not consummate.

 

Yet, the non-conclusion of the Jaguar Purchase and Sale does not, by itself, affect the consummation of the Preemptive Right Purchase and Sale, which will be implemented, by the delivery to Gafisa’s shareholders who exercise the Preemptive Right, on the date to be specified in the Notice to Shareholders, of Tenda’s shares they are entitled to receive.
The Company’s shareholders who intend to negotiate their Preemptive Rights may do so once the term for the exercise of the Preemptive Right has begun, by acting sufficiently in advance to allow the exercise of the assigned subscription rights assigned within such term.
Since the Preemptive Right may not be exercised by holders of the American Depositary Shares (“ ADSs ”) program, Citibank N.A., as the depositary institution for the Company’s ADSs program, was advised and agreed to endeavor commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Preemptive Rights attributable to, and on behalf of, the holders of ADSs.
The Company will initiate the process to list Tenda’s shares on the traditional segment of BM&FBOVESPA – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros S.A., so that such shares are accepted for trading by the date of their delivery to shareholders of Gafisa and/or to Jaguar, as applicable.
Additional information on Tenda is available at its Investor Relations website (www.tenda.com/investidores/) and at the website of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (www.cvm.gov.br).
II.                 Gafisa’s capital stock reduction
Also with the purpose of implementing the Separation, and for being deemed as excessive, we propose that the reduction of the Company’s capital stock, in the amount of R$219,510,000.00 be approved, pursuant to Article 173 of Law No. 6,404/76, without cancellation of shares, resulting in a reduction from R$2,740,661,187.74 to R$2,521,151,187.74, with the delivery to the Company’s shareholders, of 1 common share issued by Tenda for each 1 common share issued by Gafisa, owned by the shareholder, after reverse split, excluding the treasury shares, totalizing 27,000,000 common shares, issued by Tenda, representing 50% of its total capital stock, with the related amendment to the caput of Article 5 of the Company’s Bylaws.
We propose that the effectiveness of Gafisa’s Capital Stock Reduction be subject to the completion of Tenda’s Capital Stock Reduction, in addition to the compliance with provisions of Article 174 of Law No. 6,404/76.

 

Gafisa’s shares will be traded ex-capital stock reduction on the business day following the last day of the 60-day term provided for in Article 174 of Law No. 6,404/76.
In compliance with provisions of CVM Instruction No. 481/09, we attach the following documents to this Management Proposal:
·                          Exhibit A – Information indicated in Article 11 of CVM Instruction No. 481/09 related to the amendment to the Company’s Bylaws; e
·                          Exhibit B – Information indicated in Exhibit 16 of CVM Instruction No. 481/09 related to the Company’s Capital Stock Reduction.
