PROPOSAL FOR THE DESTINATION OF NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013. Dear Members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Officers Board of Vale S.A. (Vale), in lieu with Article 192 of Law #6,404 (as amended by Laws #10,303 and #11,638) and Articles 41 to 44 of Vales Bylaws, hereby presents to the Board of Directors the proposal for the destination of net income incurred in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The net income for the year, according to the Income Statement, amounted to R$115,090,671.19 (one hundred and fifteen million, ninety thousand, and six hundred and seventy one Brazilian Reais and nineteen cents), accounted as per the norms and pronouncements issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission rules (CVM) / Accounting Standards Committee (CPC). To the net income shall be added the income due the adoption of new accounting pronouncements issued by CVM / CPC in the amount of R$14,627,000.00 (fourteen million, six hundred and twenty-
seven thousand Brazilian Reais). The net profits added to the unrealized income reserve, in the amount of R$9,220,205,039.03 (nine billion, two hundred and twenty million, two hundred and five thousand, thirty-nine Brazilian reais and three cents) amount to R$9.349.922.710,22 (nine billion, three hundred forty-nine million, nine hundred and twenty-two thousand, seven hundred and ten Brazilian reais and twenty two cents) for which the following destination is hereby proposed: I - LEGAL RESERVE: To this reserve must be allocated 5% of net income of the year up to the limit of 20% (twenty percent) of the share capital in virtue of Article 193 of Law #6,404 and in the Article 42 of Vales Bylaws, that is, R$6,485,883.56 (six million, four hundred and eighty-three thousand, eight hundred and eighty three reais and fifty six cents). The allocation to this may not be recorded in the year in which the balance of the legal reserve plus the amount of capital reserves (Article 182 of Law #6,404/76) exceeds 30% of the share capital. II - TAX INCENTIVE RESERVES: Vale is entitled to an income tax reduction on regulated exploration profits, as defined: (a) Establishment Report #023/2007 issued by the Agência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia ADA, currently known as Superintendência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia - SUDAM (Amazonian Development Institution) related to tax incentives granted to copper extraction in the State of Pará; (b) Establishment Report #105/2009 and Declaration #10/2009 issued by the Superintendência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia - SUDAM related to tax incentives granted for the extraction of iron ore in the State of Pará; and (c) Establishmnet Report #40/2011 issued by the Superintendência de Desenvolvimento da Amazônia - SUDAM related to tax incentives granted to pelletizing plant of São Luiz in the State of Maranhão. Vale also benefits from Reinvestment Benefit issued by SUDAM and SUDENE (Northeaster Superintendence) which allows the entity to spend part of the income tax due, reinvesting the funds in the acquisition of equipment for the operational plants on de SUDAM and SUDENE areas. According to tax law (article #545 of Income Tax Regulation) the amount benefited and not payed to ITR is not available to shareholders and must be accounted in a specific reserve in the shareholders equity exclusive to increase capital or to absorb losses. As mentioned above and exposed on article 195-A, Federal Law#6,404, included by Federal Law #11,638, we propose the amount of R$24,161,826.66 (twenty four million, one hundred sixty one thousand, eight hundred twenty six reais and sixty-six cents) to that Reserve, equal to total tax not collected by Vale due to fiscal benefits mentioned above. III - DIVIDENDS/INTEREST ON SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY: Pursuant to Article 42 of Vales Bylaws, after establishing the legal reserve, the proposed allocation of the remaining amount of the net income at the end of each fiscal year shall be submitted to the Annual Shareholders Meeting by the Board of Directors, considering that the amount of interest paid or accrued as interest on shareholders equity, according to Article 9, Paragraph 7 of Law #9,249, and the applicable laws and regulations, may be attributed to the mandatory dividend and the minimum annual dividend for preferred shares, which shall integrate the amount of dividends distributed by the company for all legal
effects. Pursuant to Article 44 the Bylaw, at least 25% of annual net income, adjusted under the legislation shall be allocated to dividends payments of. The adjusted net income, which for 2013 amounted to R$ 99,069,960.97 (ninety nine million, sixty-nine thousand, nine hundred and sixty reais and ninety seven cents), equals to net income of the year of R$115,090,671.19 (one hundred and fifteen million, ninety thousand, six hundred and seventy-one reais and nineteen cents), reduced by the amount of the constituted legal reserve of R$6,485,883.56 (six million, eight hundred and eighty three thousand reais and fifty-six cents), and the destination to taxes incentive reserve of R$24,161,826.66 (twenty four million, one hundred sixty one thousand, eight hundred twenty six reais and sixty six cents). Thus, the minimum mandatory dividend of 25% of the adjusted net income as dividends amounts to R$24,767,490.24 (twenty four million, seven hundred and sixty-seven thousand, four hundred and ninety reais and twenty four cents), which corresponds to R$0.004806072 per outstanding common and preferred share. Pursuant to Article 5, Paragraph 5 of Bylaws, the holders of preferred classes A and golden shares are entitled to participate in the dividend to be distributed, calculated in accordance with Chapter VII of Bylaws as per the following criteria: (a) priority to receive dividends corresponding to (i) at least 3% (three percent) of the shareholders equity share value, calculated based on the financial statements used as reference for the payment of dividends or (ii) 6% (six percent) calculated over the part of capital represented by this class of shares, whichever is the higher among them; (b) right to participate in the profits distributed, on equal terms with common shares after assured to them a dividend equal to the minimum annual dividend established in accordance with the paragraph a above. On December 31, 2013, the reference value for the minimum annual dividend of preferred shares, based on (a) 6% on preferred capital per outstanding preferred share is R$1,768,512,670.33 (one billion, seven hundred sixty-eight million, five hundred and twelve thousand, six hundred and seventy reais and thirty three cents), corresponding to R$0.898761480 per outstanding preferred share or (b) 3% of the shareholders equity per outstanding preferred share, is R$1,858,884,628.09 (one billion, eight hundred fifty-eight million, eight hundred and eighty-four thousand, six hundred twenty-eight reais and nine cents), corresponding to R$0.944688680, per outstanding preferred share, whichever is higher. Considering the total balance of mandatory dividend related to fiscal year 2013, as noted, the prerogative to pay interest on shareholders equity, based on Articles 42, sole paragraph and 45 of Bylaws, Vale´s actual financial position, according to balance sheet related to 2013 and the option by equal shareholders treatment, the Board of Executive Officers propose to ratify shareholders distribution during 2013, as dividends and interest on stockholders equity, in the total gross amount of R$9,319,275,000.00 (nine billion, three hundred and nineteen million, two hundred and seventy five thousand reais), under the terms stated in sequence, considered as advances of distribution for the year 2013: a) the distribution of interest on shareholders equity based on the Board of Executive Officers proposal and approved by the Board of Directors, at
the meeting held on April 16, 2013, in the total gross amount of R$4,452,750,000.00 (four billion, four hundred fifty-two million, seven hundred and fifty thousand reais), equivalent to R$0.864045420 per outstanding common or preferred share distributed as follows, R$791,600,000.00 (seven hundred ninety-one million, six hundred thousand reais) as dividends and R$3,661,150,000.00 (three billion, six hundred sixty-one million, one hundred and fifty thousand reais), paid from April 30, 2013; b) the distribution of interest on shareholders equity based on the Board of Executive Officers proposal approved by the Board of Directors, at the meeting held on October 17, 2013 in the total gross amount of R$4,866,525,000.00 (four billion, eight hundred sixty-six million, five hundred twenty-five thousand reais), equivalent of R$0.944337462 per outstanding common or preferred share distributed as follows, R$621,525,000.00 (six hundred twenty-one million and five hundred and twenty-five thousand reais) as dividends and R$4,245,000,000.00 (four billion, two hundred forty-five million reais) as interest on shareholders equity, paid from October 31, 2013.
