Market Announcement

APIMEC-NACIONAL AWARDS

Itaú Holding is pleased to announce that it has been selected to receive the following two APIMEC-NACIONAL (Capital Markets Analysts and Investment Professionals Association) awards:

1. Listed Company – 2007

2. Investor Relations Professional – 2007, awarded to Geraldo Soares

These distinctions are the result of direct polling of APIMEC members.  It is worth remembering that we were already honored in the Listed Company Category in 1999, 2001 and 2004.

These awards represent recognition for the commitment and unceasing efforts of Itaú Holding and its professional staff to provide increasingly useful, clear, transparent and objective information to market analysts.  They also make us increasingly aware of our responsibilities to the investment analyst community, a vital channel for communicating with the investing public.

We join in congratulating Prof. Elizeu Martins, who will receive the Special Award 2007, bestowed by APIMEC’s Board of Directors, for his work on constant improvements to the standards of financial statements and consequently the transparency practiced by listed companies in Brazil.  We also offer our congratulations to the other award winners, Ms. Rita Mundin, in the Investment Professional category, and the Valor Econômico newspaper, in the Communication Vehicle category.

Commitment to the ongoing development of capital markets is the theme common to all these award winners, noted for the transparency, dedication and respect for shareholders, analysts and investors with which they carry out their activities.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OF SEPTEMBER 4, 2008

On the fourth day of September two thousand eight, at 11:00 a.m., in the headquarters, the Board of Directors of BANCO ITAÚ HOLDING FINANCEIRA S.A., held a meeting, a quorum being present and with the Vice President Dr. José Carlos Moraes Abreu taking the chair.

Prior to commencing the meeting, Dr. José Carlos Moraes Abreu deeply regretted Dr. Olavo Egydio Setubal’s decease, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Banco Itaú Holding Financeira S.A., and mentioned:

· Successful entrepreneur, businessman and public personality, Dr. Olavo Setubal left as a legacy the holding Itaúsa, which encompasses industrial activities (Duratex, Itautec and Elekeiroz) and Banco Itaú Holding Financeira (Itaú and Itaú BBA), in addition to immensely contributing to the national culture;

· In the business field, in the fifties he joined Banco Federal de Credito and, jointly with Dr. Eudoro Villela, managed to restructure the institution and prepared it to serve as support for the constitution of Banco Itaú Holding Financeira, which turned to be one of the most important financial conglomerates in Latin America;

· In his public life, Dr. Olavo Setubal participated as a member of the National Monetary Council in 1974, as Mayor of the City of São Paulo from 1975 to 1979 and as Head of the Brazilian Department of State from 1985 to 1986.

After several statements of regret, the Members of the Board unanimously resolved:

a) To appoint the present Member CARLOS DA CAMARA PESTANA as Chairman of the Board of Directors and of the Appointment and Remuneration Committee in order to complete the current annual term of office, taking into consideration that the Vice Presidents José Carlos Moraes Abreu, Alfredo Egydio Arruda Villela Filho and Roberto Egydio Setubal declined the prerogative provided for in item 5.2 of the bylaws.

b) To appoint the present Member GUSTAVO JORGE LABOISSIERE LOYOLA as Chairman of the Audit Committee in order to substitute Dr. Carlos da Camara Pestana and complete the current annual term of office.

Furthermore, with the Vice President José Carlos Moraes Abreu abstention from voting, the Board of Directors unanimously resolved to assign him the title of HONORARY CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, taking into consideration the significant services he rendered in the five last decades in highly distinguished and meaningful positions both in the Board of Directors and in the Executive Board, always in close cooperation with the Chairman Olavo Setubal.

There being no further issue and as no one present desired to make any further statement, the Chairman caused these minutes of the meeting to be drafted which, being read and approved, were signed by all Members present and the meeting then closed. São Paulo-SP, September 4, 2008. (Signed) José Carlos Moraes Abreu, Alfredo Egydio Arruda Villela Filho, and Roberto Egydio Setubal – Vice Presidents; Alfredo Egydio Setubal, Carlos da Camara Pestana, Fernão Carlos Botelho Bracher, Gustavo Jorge Laboissiere Loyola, Henri Penchas, Ricardo Villela Marino, Roberto Teixeira da Costa, Sergio Silva de Freitas and Tereza Cristina Grossi Togni – Members.
