<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Management of GERDAU
group (&#147;Gerdau&#148;), in compliance with Article&nbsp;157, paragraph 4</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">th</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;of the Law 6404/76 and the CVM Instruction
358/02, hereby announces that the Company is currently analyzing the corporate
restructuring options involving Gerdau and its subsidiary A&#231;os Villares S.A. (&#147;Villares&#148;)
with the aim of capturing synergies, always in line with the interests of the
companies involved and their respective shareholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Among the options being
analyzed and based on the prices of Villares&#146; and Gerdau S.A.&#146;s shares in the
past 12 months, Management estimates an initial share exchange ratio of around
26 to 30 Villares&#146; shares for each Gerdau S.A. share, with said exchange ratio
subject to evaluation by an independent consulting firm as well as the
compliance with other corporate requirements and applicable regulations,
according to the reorganization structure to be adopted at the end of the
process.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There is no preliminary
Management decision so far regarding the exchange ratio, and which would not be
the case, given that there is no valuation report or study prepared by the
independent consulting firm relating to the above-mentioned range, which is a
preliminary estimate considered reasonable by the Company management for the
eventual operation. Pursuant to CVM Instruction 319 and considering the
difference in the liquidity level of the companies&#146; shares, this preliminary
estimate should be matched with other criteria for establishing the exchange
(or replacement) ratio as part of the valuation by the independent consulting
firm in order to prepare the proposal to be eventually submitted for
shareholders&#146; discussion and approval.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Once the decision to proceed
with the corporate restructuring is made, a new Relevant Fact will be disclosed
to the market, detailing the method for calculating the proposed exchange ratio
and its approval by shareholders. However, there is no guarantee that this
reorganization will actually take place or when it will happen or even which
structure will be submitted to shareholders.</font></p>
