or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source of Funds.

The Reporting Persons previously held Common Shares indirectly through Valepar S.A. (“Valepar”), Vale’s former controlling shareholder.  On August 14, 2017, Valepar merged with and into Vale (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, Vale issued a total of 1,908,980,340 Common Shares, no par value, in favor of the Reporting Persons (including Litela, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Litel) and Eletron S.A. (“Eletron”) to replace the 1,716,435,045 Common Shares and 20,340,000 preferred shares of Vale previously been held by Valepar, which were cancelled pursuant to the Merger.  Each Reporting Person and Eletron received 1.2065 Common Shares for each Valepar Common Share or preferred share they owned.

Prior to the Merger, BNDESPAR directly beneficially owned an additional 206,378,882 Common Shares and 66,185,272 preferred shares of Vale.  As the sole shareholder of BNDESPAR, BNDES may have been deemed an indirect beneficial owner of the Common Shares directly beneficially owned by BNDESPAR. BNDESPAR acquired an additional 61,830,281 Common Shares by tendering its preferred shares for conversion into Common Shares in the Voluntary Conversion described below in Item 4 of this Statement on Schedule 13D.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

On June 27, 2017, the shareholders of Vale approved a series of transactions for the purpose of enabling the listing of Vale on BM&FBOVESPA’s Novo Mercado special segment and making Vale a company without defined control.  The transactions (collectively the “Transaction”), which were originally proposed to Vale by Valepar, as instructed by the Reporting Persons, consist of the following interdependent steps:  (i)  the voluntary conversion of Vale’s class A preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) into Common Shares, based on the conversion rate of 0.9342 Common Shares for each Preferred Share; (ii) the amendment of Vale’s bylaws so as to adjust them, as much as possible, to Novo Mercado rules so Vale may be effectively listed on such special segment (the “Bylaws Amendment”); and (iii) the Merger.

The offer period for the Voluntary Conversion commenced on June 28, 2017 and expired on August 11, 2017.  On August 11, 2017, Vale announced the results of the Voluntary Conversion, which settled on August 14, 2017.  As a result of the Voluntary Conversion, Vale issued 1,551,315,545 additional Common Shares in exchange for 1,660,581,830 Preferred Shares tendered into the Voluntary Conversion.

On August 14, 2017, the Merger was implemented. As a result of the completion of the Merger, Valepar was merged into Vale and ceased to exist, and Vale issued an additional 173,543,667 Common Shares, no par value, in favor of the Reporting Persons (including Litela) and Eletron.

On August 14, 2017, the Bylaws Amendment came into effect.

On August 14, 2017, BNDESPAR, Bradespar, Litel and Mitsui (the “Agreement Shareholders”) executed a new shareholders’ agreement (the “Vale Agreement”), in order to give Vale stability and to adapt its corporate governance structure during the period of transition to its new corporate structure without defined control. The Vale Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 3, binds 20% of the totality of Vale’s Common Shares, but the Agreement Shareholders have undertaken to vote any additional Vale shares that they own in accordance with the terms of the Vale Agreement.  The Vale Agreement will be in force until November 9, 2020 and the Agreement Shareholders do not intend to renew the Vale Agreement. Under

8

CUSIP No. 91912E105 13D

Vale’s amended bylaws, if the Agreement Shareholders renew the Vale Agreement after its expiration and they continue to collectively own more than 25% of the total capital stock or of the total Common Shares of Vale, the Agreement Shareholders would be required to conduct a mandatory tender offer for all Vale’s Common Shares.

Pursuant to the Vale Agreement, the Agreement Shareholders are obligated not to transfer, by any means, either directly or indirectly, Vale shares they receive as a result of the implementation of the Proposal (“Lock-Up”) for six months after the date of the Vale Agreement, except for (i) the transfer of Vale’s shares by the Agreement Shareholders to their affiliates and their current shareholders, provided that such transferred shares shall remain subject to the Lock-Up, and (ii) the transfer of shares not subject to the Vale Agreement held by the Agreement Shareholders prior to the Transaction.

Other than as described above and in Item 6 or as set forth in the Vale Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to any Reporting Person’s best knowledge, any of the persons listed in Exhibit 1 hereto, currently has any plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the transactions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)  After giving effect to the Bylaws Amendment and the consummation of the Voluntary Conversion and the Merger, the Reporting Persons share voting power, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own, directly and indirectly, 2,176,730,159 Common Shares, or 44.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Agreement Shareholders may also be deemed to be members of a Section 13(d) group with respect to such 2,176,730,159 Common Shares. Although it is not a party to the Vale Agreement, BNDES may also be deemed a member of the Section 13(d) group based on its indirect beneficial ownership of the Common Shares directly beneficially owned by BNDESPAR.

CUSIP No. 91912E105 13D

The Reporting Persons have direct beneficial ownership interests in the following Common Shares. Except as between BNDESPAR and BNDES and between Litel and Litela, the Reporting Persons do not have shared dispositive power with respect to any of these Common Shares.

(3)  The Vale Agreement binds 20% of the totality of Vale’s Common Shares, but the Reporting Persons undertake to vote any additional Vale shares that they own in accordance with the terms of the Vale Agreement.
