    Equity Debentures

    Equity debentures are securities issued by Vale that pay, in accordance with the terms established therein, semiannual premiums to investors.
    Unlike shares, debentures do not represent units of the company's share capital. Here you can access information on the issuance, payment and secondary trading of equity debentures.

    Further information

    In April 1997, Vale issued and distributed to its shareholders 388,559,056 non-convertible equity debentures, in the proportion of one debenture per common or preferred share. As of October 28, 2002, these securities began to be traded on the secondary market, through the National Debenture System (SND), managed and operated by CETIP S.A. - Organized Assets and Derivatives Counter.
    To find out whether the investor is the holder of equity debentures issued by Vale, it is necessary to look for a branch of Banco Bradesco S.A., with ID, CPF, proof of residence and bank domicile.

One of the women is wearing a green Vale button-down shirt, an orange vest, goggles, a mask and a helmet. The other woman is wearing a blue shirt with fluorescent lines, a mask, goggles and a helmet.

    Learn more about Equity Debentures

    Banco Bradesco S.A., the custodian bank for Vale's shares, sends the shareholder's statement of shareholding position to the shareholder's address, when there is a change in the share position, when dividends / interest on equity are paid and for income tax purposes. Therefore, it is essential that the shareholder keep their address updated in the custodian's records. Also, at any time, shareholders can go to a Bradesco bank branch and request a certificate of their shareholding position in Vale. Shareholders whose custody is carried out by the CBLC - Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia - should consult their position in this institution with the brokerage firm through which the investments were made.
    The change of registration data can be carried out at any branch of Banco Bradesco. In order to do so, the shareholder must present certified copies of their ID Card (RG), Individual Taxpayer ID (CPF) and proof of residence. Shareholders whose custody is carried out by the CBLC - Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia - should contact the brokerage firm through which the investments were made.

    The person must look for any branch of Banco Bradesco (cost given Vale's shares) and inform their full name and Individual Taxpayer ID (CPF) so that a consultation can be made in the records of Vale's shareholding position.

    No, Vale is not a financial institution and, therefore, it does not trade shares and debentures with its investors. To trade any asset or debt security issued by Vale, investors must directly contact a brokerage firm.

    In March 2002, the third and final stage of Vale's privatization program was carried out, through the global sale of common shares held by the Federal Government and BNDES - National Bank for Economic and Social Development. On this occasion, the Federal Government allowed retail investors to take part in this stage of Vale's privatization using their deposits from the Severance Pay Indemnity Fund (FGTS) to purchase shares offered through the Mutual Privatization Funds – FMPs. The investors who made investments through FMPs acquired shares in an investment fund and not shares in Vale. The portfolios of Vale's FGTS FMPs, managed by several banks, are composed of various assets, mainly Vale's shares.

    Information and certificates of investments in FGTS FMPs must be requested from the banks where such investments were made. Vale does not have access to the position of the quotaholders of each of the FGTS FMPs.

    People who used their FGTS deposits acquired shares in FGTS FMPs. The holders of Vale's shares are the FGTS FMPs. Dividends / interest on equity are paid by the company to its shareholders, in this case the FGTS FMPs. The credit of dividends / interest on equity will be reflected in the value of the shares of the FGTS FMPs.

    The holder share certificates must be delivered to any branch of Banco Bradesco so that the shares can be updated and converted into registered and book-entry form. At Banco Bradesco, the shareholder must fill out form 1055-3 (provided by the bank itself), attach the originals of the certificates and keep a copy of this form as the protocol. After updating, the shareholder will receive, at the provided address, a "statement" informing their new shareholding position and the amount of dividends/JCP to which they are entitled. This amount will be deposited in the checking account of any bank in the country, as directed by the shareholder.

    Equity debentures represent credit securities issued by the Company in favor of debenture holders, who are entitled to receive a premium paid semiannually, under the terms of their deed, not to be confused with shares, as the latter represent units of the capital stock of a company.

    In the context of Vale's privatization process, attempting to guarantee pre-privatization shareholders the right to a stake in any future benefits from the mining deposits of Vale and its subsidiaries, the 6th Issue of Debentures (“Equity Debentures”) was carried out.

    On the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, held on April 18, 1997, Vale's shareholders were entitled to receive the non-convertible equity debentures, in the proportion of one debenture for each share.

    The debenture holder's registration data is used, for instance, for the premium payment on Vale's equity debentures. Inconsistent or outdated data prevent the custodian bank from paying.

    In accordance with the law, the amounts that have been made available to the debenture holder for more than three (03) years shall revert in favor of the Company. Thus, as of the date of the registration update, the debenture holder will only be entitled to receive premiums referring to the three previous years.

    No. The hiring of financial advisory services for this purpose is not mandatory, and the registration update must be requested directly by the debenture holder to Banco Bradesco, the Company's bookkeeping agent, which will inform the procedure to be followed for the update. In general, to request the regularization of registration data, the debenture holder must look for a branch of Banco Bradesco S.A., the bookkeeping agent for Vale's equity debentures, with personal identification documents (RG, CPF and Proof of Residence), as well as a proof of bank domicile. Further guidance can be obtained by calling 0800-701-1616 (Investor Guidance Channel). Alternatively, investors can also contact Vale's Investor Relations department via e-mail at vale.ri@vale.com. There is no charge by Bradesco or Vale for providing information on equity debentures or for updating the registration.

    EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) is Vale's main operating profit measure. This represents operating profit, that is, it is calculated as profit after operating costs and expenses. Through EBIT, Vale can assess purely operational performance, that is, without the impacts of its financial structure, non-operating items and other tax-related items.

    Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is Vale's main measure of cash generation. This is calculated by adding adjusted EBIT to depreciation, amortization and depletion, non-recurring items (such as asset write-offs) and dividends received from unconsolidated subsidiaries. Asset write-off is not part of the calculation as it represents non-cash expenses. Dividends received from non-consolidated subsidiaries are also included in the EBITDA calculation as they represent cash owned by Vale.

    The record date is the day on which all shareholders holding Vale shares (common or preferred) at the close of trading will be entitled to receive interest on equity or dividends.

    No. Only the shareholders who held Vale shares on the record date established for the second installment of the payment are entitled to receive the remuneration.

    Investors should look for a branch of Banco Bradesco, the custodian bank for Vale's shares. Shareholders whose custody is carried out by the CBLC - Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia - should contact the brokerage firm through which the investments were made.
