<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As of the end of the Early Participation Period, which commenced on April&nbsp;10, 2014 and closed on April&nbsp;24, 2014 at 5:00&nbsp;p.m. (New York City time), US$384,795,000 aggregate principal amount of 2017 Bonds and US$587,783,000 aggregate principal amount of 2020 Bonds were validly tendered in exchange for New Bonds. This represents approximately 35.4% of the total outstanding Old Bonds. Gerdau will accept all Old Bonds that were validly tendered and expects that delivery of New Bonds and cash with respect to such validly tendered and accepted Old Bonds will occur on the Early Participation Settlement Date, which is expected to be April&nbsp;29, 2014. Based on the Exchange Ratios below, Gerdau expects to issue approximately U.S.$1,109,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New Bonds in exchange for such validly tendered and accepted Old Bonds.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
