MATERIAL EVENT NOTICE Management of VOTORANTIM CELULOSE E PAPEL S.A. (“VCP”) and ARACRUZ CELULOSE S.A. (“Aracruz”), pursuant to CVM Instruction no. 358/02, and further to the Material Event Notice published on January 20, 2009, inform that the stock swap merger of Aracruz shares into VCP, when approved, will only confer appraisal rights upon shareholders who, on January 20, 2009, were holders of common or class A preferred shares of Aracruz, in an amount corresponding to the book value of their shares. Holders of preferred shares of VCP or class B preferred shares of Aracruz, including VCP preferred shares and Aracruz class B preferred shares in the form of ADRs of each company, respectively, will not have appraisal rights, because both classes of shares meet certain liquidity and market dispersion criteria set forth in section II of article 137 of Law no. 6,404/76, which provision does not extend appraisal rights to classes of shares meeting the liquidity and market dispersion criteria set forth therein.
