      discontinue its initial public offering process, which it had begun in October

      obligated PST to update its October 23, 2007 IPO filing on May 19, 2008. As
      a
      result of this requirement, PST filed with the CVM to cancel the IPO process.
      However, PST has elected to continue complying with all requirements applicable
      to public companies in Brazil, such as filing quarterly and annual financial
      information with the CVM. The Company is hopeful that PST will be able to
      recommence the IPO process later this year, depending on the stabilization

      the global credit and equity markets.</font></div>
