ARACRUZ CELULOSE S.A.

Among the attendance, those who represented the majority (73.40%), held instructions to vote in favor of the proposed conversion of the Company's Class B Preferred Shares into common shares to be issued by the Company. Nevertheless, because quorum for a valid deliberation of this order of the day was not obtained, the referred conversion proposal was not submitted to vote by the Class B Preferred Shareholders in attendance.
In addition, no quorum was obtained to convene a Special Meeting of Class A Preferred Shareholders of the Company to deliberate on the proposed conversion, which meeting had been scheduled for the same date, time and place, per the Meeting Notice published on June 22, 2009.
