CSN and the controlling shareholders of Metalgr&aacute;fica Igua&ccedil;u S.A. (&quot;Metalgraphic&quot;), with the intervention and consent
of Metalgr&aacute;fica, an Investment Contract and Other Covenants (&quot;Investment Contract&quot;). Through which, the parties agreed

the shareholders of CSN and Metalgr&aacute;fica, will result in (a) the incorporation by CSN of all shares issued by Metalgr&aacute;fica,
making it its wholly-owned subsidiary; and (b) in return of the shares incorporation, Metalgr&aacute;fica shareholders will receive CSN
shares (to be issued via capital increase, with the expected maximum dilution of 0.01% of CSN's equity capital) in place of Metalgr&aacute;fica's
shares, in accordance with the exchange ratio to be approved at the extraordinary general meeting of the companies.</P>

Metalgr&aacute;fica agree that, for purposes of establishing the share exchange ratio, the economic value of Metalgr&aacute;fica will
be considered as measured in a preliminary assessment conducted by a specialized company, and, in the case of CSN, the average price of

of the transaction, the exchange ratio may be adjusted in accordance with the terms set forth in the Investment Contract.</P>
