As discussed recently Brasil Pharma has been facing innumerous operational challenges as a result of the integration

of the acquired pharmacy chains over the last years.

Since 2009 Brasil Pharma has acquired 8 regional chains, leaders in their respective regions, expanding its store base

to 1,223 stores. With the scale obtained through acquisitions, the challenge of the Company became to integrate all of

them into one single platform, in order to obtain the gains from the unification of procurement, reducing back-office

costs, tax and logistics optimization, among others. Although challenges were expected, the process has been slower

and more challenging than originally anticipated.

In this context, the beginning of 2014 was still marked by the effects of the operational difficulties experienced last

year, especially regarding the systems implementation and stabilization and the replacement of distribution centers.

The promotional campaigns intended to balance the inventories, held throughout the three months of this quarter, also

impacted the Company’s operating margins despite resulting in the desired reduction of inventory levels from 107

days in 4Q13 to 88 days in 1Q14 and in the adjustment of product turnover curve. The losses incurred due to product

obsolescence also put pressure on the margins in 1Q14. In addition, the Company recorded an increase in selling

expenses because of substantial adjustments to labor and rental contracts, closings of stores, replacement of

distribution centers and increase in its store employee base mainly to meet the challenges of relying a lot in

distributors during 2013.

Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment and operational issues arising from the integration process, the

Company recorded gross revenues of R$929.3 million in 1Q14, which represented an increase of 15.7% compared to

the same quarter of 2013, with total same-store sales (SSS) of 15.8% and 12.2% in mature stores, one of the highest

growth in same store sales for listed companies in the Brazilian retail sector. The Company believes that strong

growth in a period marked by operational challenges reinforces the thesis of investing in regional platforms with

leading brands and demonstrates the persistence of the attractive fundamentals of the retail pharmaceutical industry

in Brazil.

In 1Q14 2 new stores were opened and 12 stores were closed, in line with the commitment to increase profitability of

the store portfolio and reversal of the cash consumption trend. As of March 31, we had 1,223 stores, 723 of which

were owned stores and 500 franchises. As anticipated, this year we plan to slow down organic expansion rate until the

operational and capital structure improvements enable growth resumption. The Farmais franchise chain remained on

a strong expansion path, with the opening of 17 franchises in the quarter, consolidating its presence in the Southeast

region.

The Company’s management is working hard with the goal of improving the Company's profitability. Major initiatives

such as the nomination of José Ricardo Mendes da Silva as CEO of Brazil Pharma, installation of WMS in the

Company's distribution centers, increasing the efficiency level and reduction of inventory levels in the DCs and

organizational restructuring of the Company, with a focus on cutting costs, particularly in the reduction of the corporate

and regional structures seeking increase in profitability, were already completed in 1Q14. In addition, the process of

spreading the culture of "accountability" of the regional operations was initiated. Each one shall be individually

responsible for their own P&L.

The focus for the new administration for 2014 is to recompose the margins and increase profitability. The Company

believes the future benefits of a work focused on increasing business intelligence after unification and stabilization of

the systems and is confident that, once it overcomes the above mentioned specific effects, it will be possible to

reestablish profitability levels recorded in the past, while simplifying business processes to achieve greater efficiency

in the management of working capital.

The compression in operating margins led once more the Company to breach the restrictive clauses (covenants) on

the two debentures. In order to offer to Brazil Pharma the opportunity to reach their full growth potential a private

capital increase was approved in May 6, 2014 in the amount of R$400 million, with additional warrants in the amount

of R$200 million as an advantage for the subscribers. The funds raised under the transaction will be used to

strengthen the capital structure of the Company and enable access to important growth opportunities in the coming

years. BTG Pactual, demonstrating its long-term support to the Company and its belief in the investment thesis,

undertook to subscribe for all the remaining shares not subscribed by shareholders of Brazil Pharma in the capital

increase. In recent weeks the Company met with the bondholders to negotiate the conditions not to be led to an early

maturity of the debentures.

Once more the Company would like to thank its clients for the preference, its talents for the dedication and

contribution on the construction of its culture, and its suppliers and shareholders for the long partnership, trust and

support in the last years.

We operate through a chain of owned stores and franchises in the five Brazilian regions. As of March 31, 2014, we

had 1,223 points of sale, 723 of which owned stores and 500 franchises.

1) Includes 12 stores operating under the Guararapes brand.

The operation of owned stores is made under the Big Ben/Guararapes, Rosário, Sant'Ana and Mais Econômica

chains. The chains preserve their local characteristics in accordance with the consumer profile in each region, and

hold positions of leadership in the regions where they operate, except for the South. At the end of 1Q14, they totaled

251 stores operated under Big Ben brand, 128 under Sant'Ana brand, 154 under the Rosario brand, and 190 under

Mais Econômica brand.

As anticipated, it was planned for 2014 a slowdown in the expansion rhythm compared with the past five years,

underpinning our commitment to operation profitability and cash flow. We believe that financial discipline in a

challenging scenario is the proper attitude to ensure a high level of return on the investments made to date. As the

Company's operating and financial position improve over the next few quarters, organic growth can be reaccelerated,

seizing opportunities in the regions where we are present.

In 1Q14, 2 new owned stores were opened and 12 were closed, of which 4 of the Mais Econômica and 8 of the Big

Ben chain. The closings in the last two quarters in the Southern region were part of the plan of boosting profitability,

resulting in 32 stores closures.

Page 5: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

As a result of the growth presented in 2013, in late

1Q14, of the total of 723 owned stores, 254 (or

35.1%) were not yet mature, i.e. had been operating

for less than three years.

Until they reach maturity, stores do not achieve their

full potential for sales and profitability, which is

expected to occur by the 36th month after opening.

In the subsequent quarters, we expect to see faster

store portfolio maturation due to openings slowdown.

The franchises work under the Farmais brand, with presence in the Southern, Southeastern, and Midwestern regions.

Farmais franchises added up to 500 stores at the end of 1Q14, and concentrated mostly in the Southeastern region,

where the state of São Paulo accounts for the largest number of stores, 299 (59.8% of the store base).

In 1Q14, 17 new stores were opened and Farmais continued experiencing a strong growth rate. From a strategic

standpoint, franchises strengthen our national presence without requiring the use of equity capital and ensure our

geographic presence in the largest drug market in Brazil. In turn, from an economic point of view, franchises are

important tools to provide us and our franchisee partners with better purchasing conditions from both industry and

distributors on account of the volume of traded goods.

Page 6: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

The gross revenues from sales and services come from the operations of owned stores and franchises.

Revenues from owned stores come mostly from the sale of brand-name drugs, generic drugs, and non-drug items,

which include, among others, perfumes, personal care and beauty items, cosmetics and skin treatments (these items

are also referred to generically as “hygiene and personal care” or HPC). Revenues from the franchising business

come primarily from royalties.

Gross revenues reached R$929.3 million in 1Q14, an increase of 15.7% over R$803.5 million for 1Q13.

The quarter's sales performance was due to our employees' efforts, as from November 2013, to improve store service

levels and to the year-end promotions we held at all chains throughout the quarter. Such actions, although impacting

the gross margin for the period, were important to help adjust our seasonal product inventory (HPC and others,

especially in the Big Ben chain) and excess products. Additionally, we are already noting the improvements afforded

by the stabilization of the distribution centers in supplying our stores, reducing the inventory shortages and lost sales

we had seen over the past year.

In addition to the factors explained above, the growth in gross revenue can also be explained by the following factors:

Organic growth: In the past twelve months, we registered 14 net openings (58 gross openings);

Growth in same-store sales - SSS: Because of the reasons detailed above, same-store sales showed improvements

in the quarter. Total SSS in 1Q14 was 15.8%, or 12.2% considering only mature stores. SSS for the quarter was

influenced positively by the actions taken to boost store portfolio profitability since, of the total 44 closings in the last

twelve months, 41 were stores that had been operating for more than a year. The high level of SSS for our mature

stores shows the strong potential for expense dilution, as they grow well above the inflation for the period.

Page 7: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

Increase in average ticket. Our average ticket was

up by 13.8% between quarters, from R$32.4, in 1Q13,

to R$36.9, in 1Q14. Contributing to the increase in the

average ticket were, in addition to the annual price

increases, higher HPC item sales in promotional sales

we conducted during the quarter, and the increased

share of brand-name drugs.

Change in Mix. In 1Q14, non-medicine item sales increased by 22.5% over a year earlier, increasing their share in

our sales mix by 1.5 p.p.. This increase reflects, primarily, the promotional activities carried out throughout the quarter

in the sales of HPC items and other non-drug items at all chains, especially Big Ben. In drugs, the share of generics

continued to decrease, in line with the previous quarter, at a 2.7 p.p. drop in comparison to 1Q13, albeit sales volumes

remained steady in the comparison between the periods (0.4% drop). This loss of representativeness is the outcome

not only of the faster growing non-drug item categories, but also of the effect the "Ruptura Zero" (Zero Disruption)

program had on all chains, as it prioritized branded drug industries. As in the previous quarter, Mais Economica was

the most affected chain, with a 4.7 p.p. decrease in the share of generics, which dropped to 13.4%, from 20.5% in

volume. Nonetheless, over 1Q14 we were able to see the fruits of the interventions made, which pushed the share of

generics up from 19.8%, in January, to 21.4% in March. As the effects of the promotional campaigns decrease, we

should expect to see the share of generics returning to the prior levels.

Finally, brand-name drug sales were up by 21.4%, with a 1.2 p.p. increase in the total sales mix.

Page 8: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

Our gross profit totaled R$174.8 million in 1Q14, with a gross margin (on gross sales) of 18.8%, and R$232.9 million in

1Q13, with a gross margin of 29.0%.

Among the usual factors affecting profit and gross margins, we can highlight the sales mix, which varies according to

the range of products offered at the stores; trade marketing funds that we received under contract from the industry for

merchandising actions at our points of sale, and the supply strategy, which can vary with direct purchases from the

industry or from local distributors.

In 1Q13, still seeking to reduce inventory turnover, we continued to hold promotional activities during the first quarter

of the year. These were important to adjust the inventory of products soon to expire and other specific excess

products. While they were strategically important for the moment the Company was in, they continued having a

significant effect on profitability. Still, we posted losses due to the expiration of products during the period as a result

of the procurement strategy adopted last year. Since early 2Q14, the Company has been engaged in a renegotiation

process for volumes of pre-expired products with "Ruptura Zero" (Zero Disruption) program partner industries with the

intention to reduce losses in subsequent quarters.

In 1Q14 procurement volume was reduced as the Company was controlling its inventory level. As a result the volumes

of fees received from the industry diminished as well, contributing to margin contraction.

Additionally, the same effect noted in 4Q13, of approximately 0.5% in the gross margin for the period on account of

the decreased share of generics in our sales mix remains, primarily as a result of our mistaken brand positioning at

the Mais Economica chain. With the adjustments we made to the chain over the last quarter, and with the end of the

promotional activities, the chain's sales mix and the share of generic products are expected to gradually return to

normal.

Our expenses include selling, general, and administrative expenses, those involving our employees' profit sharing

("PS") program and other operating revenues/expenses.

SG&A expenses were R$315.8 million (34% over gross revenues) in 1Q14, against R$198.1 million (24.3% over

gross revenues) in 1Q13, an increase of 9.3 p.p.

Page 9: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

Selling expenses are mainly related to the operation of our stores and distribution centers. In 1Q14, these expenses

totaled R$225.1 million (24.2% of gross revenues), compared to R$150.0 million in 1Q13 (18.7% of gross revenues).

During last year, we opened two new distribution centers to replace the old ones; one in the State of Pernambuco (in

2Q13) and another in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (in 4Q13). The new distribution centers, in addition to being

more modern, have greater capacity to support our future growth, despite putting a greater burden on our short-term

structure with higher rental and staff expenses. However, we believe that these structures will dilute their costs in

accordance with the organic growth of our operations and the maturation of our distribution centers.

The Company’s reliance on the wholesale segment in 2013, along with other known factors , such as the closing of

stores, replacement of distribution centers and substantial adjustment of labor and rental costs, lead the Company to

increase its selling expenses structure mainly adding more employees at the store level.

In addition the Company increased the commission of its store employee during the period in which the promotional

campaigns were ran to help further decrease in inventory level. This fact also contributed to the observed increase in

selling expenses.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) are related to supporting our operational and administrative activities,

the purchasing department, the Corporate division and the Shared Services Center (SSC).

Page 10: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

In 1Q14, our general and administrative expenses totaled R$66.7 million (7.2% of gross revenues), representing an

increase over R$48.1 million (6.0% of gross revenues) recorded in 1Q13.

The Big Ben operation accounts for a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses due to the fact

that it has an independent administrative structure as it has not yet been integrated with the rest of the company’s

operations. Integration of this back-office operation with our Shared Services Center is not expected to take place

before the rest of the platforms are operationally stable.

In 1Q14 the Company stopped adjusting SOP expenses as non-recurring expenses in G&A. These expenses, which

have no cash effect, totaled R$1.2 million in 1Q14 and are reflected in the number showed above. In 1Q13 SOP

expenses amounted R$2.8 million in the 1Q13.

The expenses with employee and management profit sharing (“PLR”) exceeded the amount accrued in the previous

year and, therefore, R$0.8 million were recorded in 1Q14, whereas in 1Q13 no such provision or payment was made.

In 1Q14 R$23.2 million were recorded in other operating expenses primarily related to (i) write-off of commercial

agreements receivables and (ii) write-off of fixed assets due to store closings. In 1Q13 no amounts were recorded.

We did not record any non-recurring expenses in 1Q14. For 1Q13, we maintained the adjustments disclosed on that

date. These adjustments equal R$2.6 million relate to non-recurring expenses with the integration of the platforms.

The table below shows the reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA, excluding the effects of equity income of our

subsidiary Beauty’in. In 1Q13 the expenses/revenues that we considered to be non-recurring and SOP expenses

were also adjusted.

EBITDA reconciliation (R$'000) 1Q13 1Q14

Page 11: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

Mainly as a result of the lower gross margin registered in the quarter due to the promotional campaigns and the fact

that losses remain at high levels, our adjusted EBITDA totaled R$141.0 million in 1Q14 (EBITDA margin of -15.2%),

compared to R$34.8 million in 1Q13, (EBITDA margin of 4.3%).

Our depreciation and amortization expenses totaled R$28.6 million in 1Q14. This amount represented a 73,3%

increase when compared to R$16.5 million recorded in 1Q13. No adjustments were made in regard to points of sales

amortization.

The equity income expenses totaled R$1.9 million in 1Q14 against R$1.5 million in 1Q13. These expenses relate to

Beauty’in, an incubator of new brands, still in development phase, and therefore does not generate positive results

yet.

In 1Q14 R$25.0 million negative financial result were recorded, in comparison R$18.9 million in 1Q13. During the

quarter, despite the R$1.7 million increase registered in financial revenues linked to the cash raised by our second

issue of debentures in October 2013, we recorded an increase in financial expenses, as a result, among other things,

of the discounting of receivables and the extra balance of the second debenture.

In the first quarter of 2014, we did not make any adjustment to the Company’s result. In 1Q13, we recorded the

adjustments presented on that date in accordance with the results disclosed at that time. Therefore, in 2013 we

adjusted net income to exclude the effect of non-recurring expenses/revenues, SOP expenses and the effect of

amortization of the intangibles (commercial establishments).

1 – Portion related to commercial establishments amortization and brand amortization (1Q12).

Due to the above mentioned, we recorded net losses of R$185.3 million in 1Q14, compared to net income of R$2.6

The table below summarizes our cash flow for the periods under comparison.

1- Working capital variation includes variations in accounts receivable, suppliers and inventories.

In 1Q14, the Company recorded R$270.7 million consumption from operating activities, which was largely due to the

already mentioned effects that compressed the operating margins together with the normalization of the working

capital structure. Investments in fixed and intangible assets related to our operations totaled R$33.9 million, most of

which linked to the refurbishing stores and investments made in IT/SAP system.

During the quarter, the cash flow from financing activities was negative by R$6.9 million. As a result, our cash

variation in the period was positive by R$307.8 million.

Inventories 108 107 88

Suppliers 56 77 57

Working capital in days 76 36 46

Page 13: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

Our working capital was 46 days in 1Q14, denoting a 30 day drop in relation to 1Q13, mainly as a result of the efforts

we made to bring the Company’s inventories down over the course of the last two quarters and the partial

normalization in the number of accounts receivable days, an effect that was mainly seen in the last two quarters

before 1Q14 due to the actions we carried out in order to minimize the working capital structure and maximize short-

term liquidity.

Our inventory cycle was 88 days, 20 days less than at the end of 1Q13 and 19 days below the level registered in

4Q13. With the aim of reducing our inventory volume in order to reduce pressure on working capital and not

compromise sales, we have focused on a number of actions, such as promotional sales campaigns to reduce stocks

of seasonal products and one-off excesses, as well as investments in logistic systems and in the modernization of our

existing distribution centers. The Company still has excess inventories, mainly in our stores, and as we increase

efficiency in product distribution and improve the product mix that can be found at the stores, we will be able to

significantly reduce current levels.

The supplier payment terms remained stable in relation to the same quarter of the previous year, showing an increase

of just 1 day. One can observe a 20-day decrease against 4Q13, mainly due to the elimination of the one-off effects

seen in the last quarter of 2013. As we channel purchases of products in the industry, the trend is for our payment

period to be reduced over the course of the quarters. Tenors on receivables increased from 6 to 15 days from 4Q13 to

1Q14, gradually normalizing the working capital of the Company as a result of the decrease in the volume of

advancements on credit card receivables, which we had been carrying out in order to cope with the need for cash for

the purpose of meeting the our short-term obligations.

At the end of 1Q14, our total debt was R$916.8 million, comprising R$204.9 million of loans and financing, R$555.3

million of debentures and R$156.6 million of accounts payable for investment acquisition (future installments of

acquisition-related payments).

Our cash position closed the quarter at R$98.1 million, which was lower than in the previous quarter partially due to

the reduction in the volume of advancements of credit card receivables. As a result, our net debt position totaled

R$818.6 million at the end of the year. It is important to mention that there was no significant increase in gross debt

over the previous quarter, only the above mentioned effect on credit card receivables.

The debentures issued by the Company contain covenants establishing maximum levels of debt and leverage, as well

as minimum coverage levels of our net financial result, as follows: i) net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio equal to or less

than 3.0 times; and ii) adjusted EBITDA/ net financial expenses equal to or greater than 2.0 times. As a result of the

effects on gross margin together with the huge increase in expenses, the Company once again failed to comply with

the restrictive clauses agreed for the debenture issues.

Due to the non-compliance with the covenants the Company recorded the total balance of the debentures in the short

term. In 1Q14 86,1% of the Company’s debt was recorded as short term debts. However, the Company had already

been negotiating with our bondholders and fiduciary agents so that this non-compliance did not constitute accelerated

maturity of our two debentures issues.

Considering the capital increase approved at the Meeting held on May 6, the Company does not have a solvency

problem. The very negative results in the last two quarters will prevent the company from complying with the

covenants in the next few quarters, as it is calculated on the basis of a period of 12 months in the past.

Page 14: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

During the first quarter of 2014, the performance of BPHA3 suffered as the result of the combination of a downturn in

the market coupled with the major challenges from the process of integration, unification of systems, replacement of

our distribution centers and their impact on the earnings presented. During the year, there was a shift toward a

revision in expectations for the stock short-term appreciation and the change in the profile of our investors with the exit

of foreign investors. As of March 31, the market capitalization of Brasil Pharma totaled R$987.1 million, with the stock

quoted at R$3.85, a 43.0% depreciation during the year, against a 2.1% depreciation recorded for the Ibovespa.

Accordingly, the average daily trading volume of BPHA3 was R$4.4 million in 1Q14.

As of the beggining of 2014 the Company entered in a new phase. After the construction phase of the strategic

geographical positioning (until beginning of 2012) and after almost 2 years focused on integrating and preparing the

Company for future growth, we have entered a period where the main goal of the new management of Brazil Pharma

is to increase profitability on the investments made in the past and reversing the trend of cash consumption presented

in previous periods.

In this new phase the organizational structure of the Company was redesigned to combine strong management

experience and industry and product knowledge to an experience focused on pharmacy retail and a reinforcement of

the Finance Department structure.

Accordingly, the Company intends to strengthen the control over operations, increasing the interaction of the various

departments with the Financial department and add commercial intelligence to the business with the specific

knowledge of products sold. The Company will also focus on increasing the precision of control over the industry fees

(commercial agreements), sales to PBMs, volume and trade discounts, tax and other indirect costs optimization and

feasibility test in opening new stores.

In this new stucture the spreading of the new culture in administrating the platforms, in which the Company transfers

larger responsibility greater responsibility to each of the regional managers, in conjunction with an alignment of their

goals and compensation to the profitability of each operation has started. Accordingly, the Company will implement

the "accountability" for each platform, as they will be responsible for their own P&L.

Page 16: Brph earnings eng_1_t14_final

In 1Q14, we continued with our efforts to integrate the chains. The stabilization and unification of systems continues to

be the most important issue for us to be able to develop the Company’s commercial intelligence and take advantage

of the benefits of scale from a combined business model. It is our belief that the greater part of the transformations are

already behind us and that we rapidly need to ensure profitability of the assets, which have been negatively affected,

to a very pronounced degree, by the effects described.

Commercial Department

On the logistics front, following the opening of two new distribution centers in 2013, there are still a number of barriers

to improve the performance of the Company’s distribution centers. The stabilization of DCs operations will be very

important to provide support for the recovery of the operations’ service level and sales, which has been negatively

affected by the inadequate supply structure. Over recent years the Company has significantly expanded into regions

outside the distribution centers’ radio and the new scenario requires a more detailed study of the tax opportunities that

we have in each of the states we are present. As soon as we can stabilize the current distribution centers operations

during the first half of this year, we will be able to focus on seeking these gains.

On the Trade Marketing front, during 2013 we focused our efforts on the Southern operation, continuing with the very

successful layout and mix adjustments made in 2012 at the Guararapes (currently Big Ben) and Sant’Ana chains. As a

result, we have already registered another quarter with an increased share of non-medicines in the mix of these

chains. For 2014, our aim is to recover the profitability of the regional chains by the recovery of growth in generics

share in our sales, particularly in the South, and by minimizing working capital, focusing our attention on optimizing the

variety of products present in our stores. We believe that with the increased efficiency in the distribution of our

products through our distribution centers we will be able to optimize the number of products registered in each chain’s

stores, while always observing the regional differences existing between them. The unification of the commercial

management systems in the platforms, planned for July with the implementation in Mais Econômica will make this job

a lot easier. In addition, we will work to increase the pricing intelligence of the inner space in our stores in order to

maximize the return on the investments made in points of sales.

As for Procurement integration, after the recent changes in the Company’s management, the Company has taken the

first steps towards starting the negotiation of specific categories in conjunction with the N/NE platform. This platform

accounts for roughly 45% of the Company’s total volume and since our purchasing volume is still totally divided we

currently do not benefit from our total scale potential that we have with an integrated model. Before the end of 2014,

we intend to start taking advantage of the unification and optimization of the current commercial conditions of this

current two business units.

Administrative Department: Systems: SAP – BackOffice Module

2013 was an important year for the consolidation of our Shared Services Center (“SSC”) structure in Brasília. In a

further step toward simplifying processes and capturing operating synergies, we began implementing the SAP system

in order to unify the back-office systems used at the SSC. By the end of last year the system had already been

deployed in the Midwestern and Bahia platforms. By July 2014, we will also have the system deployed in the Mais

Economica platform, completing its installation in the chains that are currently integrated in the SSC.

As was previously stated, we believe that although the implementation of the SAP system in phases takes longer and

is more expensive, it offers less risk to our operation.

The back-office activities of Big Ben operation should be incorporated into the SSC after the SAP has been stabilized.

Once all back-office activities of the Brasil Pharma chains are running on a single system, starting in 2015, important

gains are expected over the next few years, including both greater speed and quality in accounting and business

information as well as the elimination of duplicate structures and highly manual and very unproductive operating

activities.

Operations Integration – Training and Culture

The continuity of the Company’s training program for its sales force is important to standardize the consumption

experience of its different regional chains. In addition to offering employees an opportunity of professional

development and a career plan, continuous training is an efficient way to maintain and guarantee customer service

quality standards.

For 2014, the Company plans to reduce and, at the same time, focus its training on knowledge of the products sold in

order to work with a more profitable mix of products and, at the same time, minimize the amounts invested, prioritizing

the company’s profitability and cash generation.

On May 6, 2014 we informed the market that approval had been given for an increase in the Company’s capital, within

the authorized capital limit, by private subscription, with a subscription bonus to be granted as an additional advantage

to the subscriber of the shares underlying the capital increase.

The Company will increase its capital by R$400.0 million, by issuing 106.7 million new shares at a price of R$3.75 per

share, setting a 10.29% premium over the quoted price of the shares at the close of business on April 8, the day prior

to the Board Meeting that recommended the capital increase . In addition, there will be a 0.3409 warrants issued by

the Company, adding up to a total issue of up to 36.4 million warrants. Each bonus will give the holder the right to

subscribe for 1 common share, will be valid for 2 years counting from the issue date and will have a strike price set at

R$5.50, therefore potentially representing an additional R$200.0 million on top of the capital increase.

The Company’s shareholders of record on May 6, 2014 will have a period of 30 days to exercise their preemptive

right.

BTG Pactual assumed a commitment to underwrite 100% of the remaining shares that have not been subscribed by

the Company’s shareholders, reinforcing its long-term commitment to and total confidence in Brasil Pharma’s

potential, in the Company’s investment case and in its operational recovery.
