PROPOSAL FOR THE DESTINATION OF NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014. Dear Members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Officers’ Board of Vale S.A. (Vale), in lieu with Article 192 of Law #6,404 (as amended by Laws #10,303 and #11,638) and Articles 41 to 44 of Vale’s Bylaws, hereby presents to the Board of Directors the proposal for the destination of net income incurred in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The net income for the year, according to the Income Statement, amounted to R$ 954,384,414.00 (nine hundred fifty-four million, three hundred eighty-four thousand, four hundred and fourteen reais), accounted as per the norms and pronouncements issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) / Accounting Standards Committee (CPC).The net profits added to the investment/expansion reserve, in the amount of R$8,993,854,883.78 (eight billion, nine hundred ninety-three million, eight hundred and fifty-four thousand, eight hundred and eighty-three reais and seventy-eight cents) amounts to R$9,948,239,297.78 (nine billion, nine hundred forty-eight million, two hundred and thirty-nine thousand, two hundred and ninety-seven reais and seventy-eight cents) for which the following destination is hereby proposed. I - LEGAL RESERVE: To this reserve must be allocated 5% of net income of the year up to the limit of 20% (twenty percent) of the Social Capital by force of Article 193 of Law #6,404 and in the Article 42 of Vale’s Bylaws, that is, R$47,719,220.70 (forty-seven million, seven hundred and nineteen thousand, two hundred and twenty reais and seventy cents). The allocation to this may not be recorded in the year in which the balance of the legal reserve plus the amount of capital reserves (Article 182 of Law #6,404/76) exceeds 30% of the social capital which has been not reached yet. II - TAX INCENTIVE RESERVES: Vale is entitled to an income tax reduction on profits arising from exploration profits granted, as defined: (a) Establishment Report #023/2007 issued by the Agência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia — ADA, currently known as Superintendência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia - SUDAM (Amazonian Development Institution)

related to tax incentives granted to copper extraction in the State of Pará; (b) Report Establishing #105/2009 related to tax incentives granted for the extraction of iron ore in the State of Pará; (c) Establishmnet Report #40/2011 issued by the Superintendência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia - SUDAM related to tax incentives granted to pelletizing plant of São Luiz in the State of Maranhão and (d) Report Establishing #074/2014 related to tax incentives granted to the extraction of nickel at Ourilândia do Norte in the State of Pará. Vale also benefits from a Reinvestment Benefit issued by SUDAM and SUDENE (Northeaster Superintendence) which allows the entity to reinvest part of the income tax due in the acquisition of equipment for the operational plants located in areas where SUDAM and SUDENE areas act upon. According to the tax law (article #545 of the Income Tax Regulation) the amount benefited and not paid to ITR is not available to shareholders and must be accounted in a specific reserve in the shareholders’ equity, to be used exclusively for increase capital or to absorb losses. As mentioned above and based on article 195-A of Law#6,404, included by Federal Law #11,638, we propose the allocation of R$161,770,077.08 (one hundred sixty-one million, seven hundred and seventy thousand, seventy-seven reais and eight cents) to that Reserve, equal to total tax not collected by Vale due to fiscal benefits mentioned above. III - INVESTMENT/EXPANSION RESERVES: The execution of the investment/expansion reserve in the amount of R$8,993,854,883.78 (eight billion, nine hundred ninety-three million, eight hundred and fifty-four thousand, eight hundred and eighty-three reais and seventy-eight cents) refers to the amount of R$9,738,750,000.00 (nine billion, seven hundred thirty-eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand reais) related to payment of dividends/interest on shareholder´s equity, deducted of the remaining balance of retained earnings in the amount of R$744,895,116.22 (seven hundred forty-four million, eight hundred ninety-five thousand, one hundred and sixteen reais and twenty-two cents). IV - DIVIDENDS/INTEREST ON SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY: Pursuant to Article 42 of Vale’s Bylaws, after establishing the legal reserve, the proposed allocation of the remaining amount of the net income at the end of each fiscal year shall be submitted to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting by the Board of Directors, considering that the amount of interest paid or accrued as interest on shareholders’ equity, according to Article 9, Paragraph 7 of Law #9,249, and the applicable laws and regulations, may be attributed to the mandatory dividend and the minimum annual dividend for preferred shares, which shall integrate the amount of dividends distributed by the company for all legal effects. Pursuant to Article 44 of the Bylaws, at least 25% of the annual net income, adjusted under the legislation shall be allocated to payment of dividends. The adjusted net income, which for 2014 amounted to R$ 744,895,116.22 (seven hundred forty-four million, eight hundred ninety-five thousand, one hundred and sixteen reais and twenty-two cents), equals to the net income of the year of R$954,384,414.00 (nine hundred fifty-four million, three hundred eighty-four thousand, four hundred and fourteen reais), reduced by the amount of the constituted legal reserve of R$47.719.220,70 (forty-seven million, seven hundred and nineteen thousand two hundred and twenty reais and seventy cents), and the allocation to the tax incentive reserve of R$161,770,077.08 (one hundred sixty-one million, seven hundred and seventy thousand, seventy-seven reais and eight cents). Thus, the minimum mandatory dividend of 25% of the adjusted net

income as dividends amounts to R$186,223,779.06 (one hundred eighty-six million, two hundred and twenty-three thousand, seven hundred and seventy-nine reais and six cents), which corresponds to R$0.036136276 per outstanding common or preferred share. Pursuant to Article 5, Paragraph 5 of the Bylaws, the holders of preferred classes A and golden shares are entitled to participate in the dividend to be distributed, calculated in accordance with Chapter VII of the Bylaws as per the following criteria: (a) priority to receive dividends corresponding to (i) at least 3% (three percent) of the shareholders’ equity share value, calculated based on the financial statements used as reference for the payment of dividends or (ii) 6% (six percent) calculated over the part of capital represented by this class of shares, whichever is the higher among them; (b) right to participate in the profits distributed, on equal terms with common shares after assured to them a dividend equal to the minimum annual dividend established in accordance with the paragraph “a” above. As of December 31, 2014, the reference value for the annual minimum dividend of the preferred shares, based on (a) 6% on preferred capital per outstanding preferred share is R$ 1,792,763,468.29 (one billion, seven hundred ninety-two million, seven hundred and sixty -three thousand, four hundred and sixty-eight reais and twenty-nine cents), corresponding to R$0.911085781 per outstanding preferred share or (b) 3% of the shareholders’ equity per outstanding preferred share, is R$1,697,845,380.27 (one billion, six hundred ninety-seven million, eight hundred and forty-five thousand, three hundred and eighty reais and twenty-seven cents), corresponding to R$0.862848230, per outstanding preferred share, whichever is higher. Considering the total balance of mandatory dividend related to the fiscal year of 2014, as noted, the prerogative to pay interest on shareholders’ equity, based on Articles 42, sole paragraph and 45 of the Bylaws, Vale´s actual financial position, according to the balance sheet related to the 2014 and the option by equal shareholders’ treatment, the Board of Executive Officers hereby proposes to ratify shareholders’ distribution during 2014, as dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity, in the total gross amount of R$9,738,750,000.00 (nine billion, seven hundred and thirty-eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand reais), under the terms stated in sequence, which shall be considered as advances of distribution for the year of 2014: a) the distribution of interest on shareholders’ equity based on the Board of Executive Officers proposal, as approved by the Board of Directors, at the meeting held on April 14, 2014, in the total gross amount of R$4,632,390,000.00 (four billion, six hundred and thirty-two million, three hundred and ninety thousand reais), equivalent to R$0.898904129 per outstanding common or preferred share, paid as of April 30, 2014; b) the distribution of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity based on the Board of Executive Officers proposal, as approved by the Board of Directors, at the meeting held on October 16, 2014 in the total gross amount of R$5,106,360,000.00 (five billion, one hundred and six million, three hundred and sixty thousand reais), equivalent to R$0.990876867 per outstanding common or preferred share, which were distributed as follows: R$1,752,360,000.00 (one billion, seven hundred and fifty-two million, three hundred and sixty thousand reais) as dividends and R$3,354,000,000.00 (three billion, three hundred and fifty-four million reais) as interest on shareholders’ equity, paid as of October 31, 2014.
