Item 3.  Source of Funds.

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The information in Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein to the extent applicable.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Between December 2018 and January 2020, Litel and/or Litela carried out the following transactions:

 

·                  In transactions on December 7, 2018 and August 12, 2019, Litel distributed to its shareholders 32,709,876 and 95,167,645 Common Shares, respectively, as payment of interest on equity.

 

·                  On September 9, 2019, Litel transferred 808,746,864 Common Shares to Litela as part of Litel’s partial spin-off of Litela. As a result of this transfer of Common Shares, Litela became part of the Vale Agreement. Additionally, Litel ceased to be the sole shareholder of Litela and disposed of its beneficial ownership over Litela’s Common Shares in the Issuer.

 

·                  On January 24, 2020, Litela transferred 386,040,325 Common Shares held by it to Litela’s shareholders as a result of its capital reduction approved on November 14, 2019.

 

From January 2, 2019 to January 11, 2019, BNDESPAR disposed of 16,039,700 Common Shares. Additionally, on August 4, 2020, BNDESPAR disposed of an aggregate of 135,000,000 Common Shares.

 

Because the distributions to Litel shareholders completed in August 2019 represented, in the aggregate, a disposition of more than 1% of the total number of Common Shares of the Issuer (based on 5,128,283,194 Common Shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on August 1, 2019), this Amendment is required as of August 12, 2019.

 

After giving effect to the transactions described above, the Reporting Persons share voting power over, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own, directly and indirectly, 1,363,316,161 Common Shares, or 26.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, based on 5,129,910,942 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020. For more information, see Item 5.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, from time to time, take such actions regarding that investment as they deem appropriate. These actions may include, subject to the terms of the Vale Agreement: (i) acquiring or disposing of Common Shares and/or other securities or derivative or other instruments of the Issuer that are based upon or relate to the value of Common Shares (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise, including in connection with business development transactions or financing commitments in relation thereto; (ii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iii) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. In determining whether to carry out any of the above-mentioned actions, the Reporting Persons may consider factors such as the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s board of directors, price levels of the Common Shares, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions.

 

Other than as described above in this Item 4 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.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a)  After giving effect to the transactions described in Item 4, the Reporting Persons share voting power over, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own, directly and indirectly 1,363,316,161 Common Shares, or 26.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Reporting Persons may also be deemed to be members of a Section 13(d) group with respect to such 1,363,316,161 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.

 

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

 

		Common Shares Directly Owned(1)
		Number		% of Class
BNDESPAR(2)(3)		188,496,276		3.7	%
BNDES(3)		0		0	%
Bradespar(2)		293,907,266		5.7	%
Litel(2)(4)		74,832,355		1.4	%
Litela(2)(4)		519,733,209		10.1	%
Mitsui(2)		286,347,055		5.6	%

 

(1) All percentages are based on 5,129,910,942 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

 

(2)  The Vale Agreement binds 20.3% 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. Accordingly, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the aggregate number of Common Shares owned by all Reporting Persons.

 

(3) As the sole shareholder of BNDESPAR, BNDES may be deemed an indirect beneficial owner of the Common Shares directly beneficially owned by BNDESPAR.

 

(4) As a result of its partial spin-off of Litela, Litel is no longer the sole shareholder of Litela and thus does not have beneficial ownership over Litela’s Common Shares in Vale.

 

(b) With respect to any rights or powers to vote, or to direct the vote of, or to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, the Common Shares referenced in paragraph 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons has sole voting power over any Common Shares, each Reporting Person has shared voting power with respect to 1,363,316,161 Common Shares, and:

 

(i)                                       Neither BNDESPAR nor BNDES has sole dispositive power with respect to any of the Common Shares. BNDESPAR and BNDES have shared dispositive power with respect to 188,496,276 Common Shares.

 

(ii)                                    Bradespar has sole dispositive power with respect to 293,907,266 Common Shares.

 

(iii)                                 Litel has sole dispositive power with respect to 74,832,355 Common Shares.

 

(iv)                                Litela has sole dispositive power with respect to 519,733,209 Common Shares.

 

(v)                                   Mitsui has sole dispositive power with respect to 286,347,055 Common Shares.
