  2. Amendment to Article 3 of the Company’s Bylaws to include the following business activities:

To design, build and trade equipment, materials, systems, software, accessories and components for the defense, security and energy industries, as well as to perform and carry out technical activities related to such manufacturing and maintenance activities, according to the highest standards of technology and quality; and

To perform other technological, manufacturing and trade activities and services related to the defense, security and energy industries.”

 

  3. Amendment to Article 34 of the Company’s Bylaws to take into consideration the dissolution of the Executive Committee and the creation of the Strategic Committee and the Risk Committee to assist the Board of Directors;

 

  4. Amendment to Article 41 of the Company’s Bylaws in order to allow that the Company’s Fiscal Council be comprised of three (3) to (5) five members, as opposed to a fixed number of five (5) members as presently required pursuant to the current version of Article 41 of the Company’s Bylaws; and

 

  5. Amendment to Article 44 of the Company’s Bylaws to increase the periodicity of the ordinary meetings of the Company’s administrative bodies.

The information and documents required by Rule No. 481/09 of the Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”) in connection with the items of the agenda of the Shareholders’ Meeting, as well as the other documents required by §6 of Article 124 of Brazilian Law No. 6.404/76 (the “Brazilian Corporation Law”) are available to shareholders at the Company’s headquarters and on the websites of the BM&FBovespa – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBovespa”) (www.bmfbovespa.com.br) and the CVM (www.cvm.gov.br), as well as on the Investor Relations website of the Company (www.embraer.com.br/ri).
