(iii) if the matter under item (ii)

General Information:
- The proposal for the new wording of Articles 5 and 6 of the Company’s Bylaws is available to the Company’s shareholders in the website www.gafisa.com.br/ri as well as in the websites of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) and of the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros.
