MATERIAL INFORMATION RELEASE

 

GAFISA S.A. (Bovespa, GFSA3; NYSE, GFA) (“Gafisa” or the “Company”), informs its shareholders and the market that in reference to the Press Release issued by the Company on February 2, 2012, Gafisa confirms that it has received from GP Investimentos (“GP”) and Equity International (“EI”, together with GP, “Investors”) a preliminary, unsolicited, indicative, conditional and non-binding proposal to acquire certain of the Company’s assets, subject to certain requirements (“Indicative Offer”). The Gafisa Board of Directors has created a special committee of the board and retained financial and legal advisors to assist the Company evaluate the Indicative Offer.

After careful review, the Board, in a meeting this morning, concluded that the Indicative Offer significantly undervalues the Gafisa’s assets and businesses involved and implies substantial transaction costs and high execution risks. The Company has not given access to any confidential information or engaged in any negotiations with the Investors or any other potential interested party.

Gafisa is continuously assessing new opportunities to develop the Company business and assets and will evaluate with the same diligence, and always in the interest of the shareholders, any future offer made by the Investors or any other third party.
