MARKET COMMUNICATION

Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa, GFSA3; NYSE, GFA) (“Company” or “Gafisa”) has announced that the distribution record date for the capital reduction in Brazil (“Capital Reduction Record Date”) to determine holders of Gafisa shares entitled to receive a distribution of the capital reduction (“Capital Reduction”) that will distribute Tenda common shares representing 50% of Tenda’s capital stock is scheduled to occur on a business day in São Paulo, Brazil, following the end of the 60-day period set forth in Article 174 of Brazilian Corporate Law, and that the Capital Reduction Record Date will be specified in the capital reduction notice to be issued by Gafisa following the end of such 60-day period and the Capital Reduction Record Date is expected to be on or about April 27, 2017.

Citibank, N.A., as depositary for the Gafisa American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and for the Gafisa Global Depositary Shares (“GDSs”), has announced that the Capital Reduction Record Date to determine holders of Gafisa ADSs and Gafisa GDSs (“Holders”) entitled to receive the Capital Reduction will be the close of business in NY on the same date that is established as the Capital Reduction Record Date in Brazil, and is expected to be on or about April 27, 2017. 

The New York Stock Exchange has informed Citibank, N.A. that it will not formally establish an “ex” date for the Gafisa ADSs in connection with the Capital Reduction.  Holders and investors should take note that only Holders as of close of business in NY on the Capital Reduction Record Date, which is expected to be on or about April 27, 2017, will be entitled to receive the distribution of the Capital Reduction. As a result, any Holders who sell their Gafisa ADSs or Gafisa GDSs before the Capital Reduction Record Date, and whose sales of such securities settle before the close of business in NY on such date will not be entitled to receive the distribution of the Capital Reduction.  Similarly, investors who purchase Gafisa ADSs or Gafisa GDSs before the Capital Reduction Record Date, and whose purchases of such securities settle after the close of business in NY on such date will not be entitled to receive the distribution of the Capital Reduction.

The terms of the distribution of the Capital Reduction are described in Tenda Information Statement, which was filed by Gafisa with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under cover of Form 6-K, and may be retrieved from the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br) and the Company’s website (www.gafisa.com.br/ir).
