São Paulo
April 15, 2016
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the Extraordinary
General Meeting of BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros
convened for May 20, 2016, at 3:00 p.m., exceptionally not at its head offices but at 275 Rua
XV de Novembro, Centro, in the city of São Paulo, São Paulo State, in accordance with the
Notice of Meeting to be published in the São Paulo State Official Gazette ( Diário Oficial do
Estado de São Paulo ) on April 16, 2016, and the daily newspaper Valor Econômico on April
18, 2016.
In this introductory letter I would like to make some brief but important points about the
EGM’s main focus, to which most of the decisions on which you will be asked to vote will be
related.
The combination of BM&FBOVESPA’s operations with those of CETIP S.A. – Mercados
Organizados (“CETIP”) will create a world-class financial market infrastructure company of
major systemic significance, prepared to compete in an increasingly sophisticated and
challenging global marketplace while enhancing the security, solidity and efficiency of the
Brazilian market.
Integration of the companies’ activities will significantly strengthen the combined entity’s
business model and extend its revenue diversification, while enabling financial institutions,
custodians, registrars, asset managers and brokerage houses to consolidate their
processes and back-office systems, significantly reducing costs and operational risks
throughout the financial system, and enhancing efficiency in interactions with the
supervisory authorities for the financial and capital markets.
In light of the companies’ complementarity, their combination will mean gains for customers,
market participants, investors, and corporates that require funding to invest or financial
instruments to manage their risks. In addition to cost efficiencies, one of the main benefits
of the new venture will be enhanced capital efficiency for customers, given the possibility of
using over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivatives in one and the same central
counterparty.
Particularly important for our own shareholders is the expectation that combining the
activities of the two companies will increase revenue diversification and capture synergiesestimated at 10% of the combined organization by the third year, strengthening the new
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
3/631
company’s strategic position in the long run.
In this context we invite you to participate in this event that will transform the history not just
of BM&FBOVESPA but also of Brazil’s financial and capital markets. Approval of the
proposals detailed in the present document is necessary for the transaction to be formallyimplemented, and also for the new combined company to be managed so as to capture the
countless business opportunities that will present themselves, without relinquishing the
values shared by both companies, especially excellence in technology, operation and risk
management, as well as prudence and financial robustness.
The EGM will be asked to approve the merger into BM&FBOVESPA of Companhia São
José Holding (formerly Netanya Participações e Empreendimentos S.A.) (the “Holding
Company”). This merger will be necessary in the context of a corporate reorganization
designed to implement the combination. After the corporate events to be implemented
concurrently with this EGM, the new merged entity will hold 100% of CETIP’s shares.
Absorption of the Holding Company will be effected by means of the issuance of new shares
of stock in BM&FBOVESPA, which will thereby increase its free float and welcome CETIP’s
former shareholders into its ownership structure.
The EGM will also be asked to approve a number of amendments to the company’s bylaws
made necessary by the combination with CETIP, as well as other alterations deemed
relevant above all from the governance standpoint.
Allow me to bring to your notice, in particular, that as part of the transaction we propose to
increase the maximum number of members of the Board of Directors from 11, as stipulated
by the present bylaws, to 13 for the next two years. This proposal has already been
announced to the market. The two additional seats on the Board will be filled by members
of CETIP’s current management, who will bring to our Board their valuable knowledge of
CETIP’s business, while also strongly supporting the process of integration of our two
companies.
I also want to stress that we are proposing the adaptation and enhancement of
BM&FBOVESPA’s already successful corporate governance model to encompass the over -
the-counter and credit operation support businesses that will be absorbed by virtue of the
combination with CETIP. This includes formalizing in the bylaws the existing Securities
Intermediation Industry Committee and the recently created Product & Pricing Committee,
both of which are forums for discussions with the market on some of the matters that are
most important to the company.
We believe these are the most significant changes proposed, although there are others thatwe believe to be desirable and that reinforce BM&FBOVESPA’s commitment to the
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
4/631
continuous improvement of its management, to enhanced risk mitigation, to the attraction of
top talent, and to the development of the markets in which it operates.
Moving on from these general remarks, please note that the topics to be discussed and
voted on at the EGM are listed in the Call Notice and in the attached document, whichcontains Management’s proposals and general guidance on the participation of
shareholders in the meeting. Both this document and the Call Notice are being issued to the
market today.
This meeting is an opportunity to discuss and vote on the matters presented for deliberation,
and effective participation by shareholders will ensure that the requisite decisions are well-
informed and conscientiously made.
Management is committed to facilitating and encouraging shareholder participation in
general meetings. With this goal in mind, and to reinforce its commitment to fostering best
practice in corporate governance, for this EGM BM&FBOVESPA will voluntarily make
available a postal voting system in accordance with CVM Instruction 481/2009, as amended.
You will find a detailed explanation of how you can vote by postal ballot in the attached
document.
In addition, as it has done in recent shareholder meetings BM&FBOVESPA will again offer
an electronic proxy voting system that can be accessed by registering at
www.assembleiasonline.com.br . This procedure is also explained in detail in the attached
document.
You are cordially invited to read the document carefully, as well as others relating to the
EGM that have been placed at your disposal at the company’s head offices and posted on
its Investor Relations website (www.bmfbovespa.com.br/ri/), on the company’s main website
(www.bmfbovespa.com.br ), and on the website of CVM, the Brazilian Securities
Commission (www.cvm.gov.br).

A.1. Guidance for Personal Attendance
Shareholders who wish to attend the company’s Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting in
person are kindly requested to come to 275 Rua XV de Novembro on May 20, 2016, from
2:30 p.m., bearing the above documents.
A.2. Guidance for Participation by Remote Voting Form
Although the matters to be deliberated are not suited to voting by remote voting form, the
Company will voluntarily adopt the remote voting system established by article 21-A of CVM
Instruction 481, as amended by CVM Instruction 561/15. In 2016, special procedures for
remote voting system established by CVM Deliberation 741/2015 will apply to the Company
shareholders’ meetings in addition to the procedures established by CVM Instruction 481.
As of now, therefore, shareholders may send voting instructions for the EGM agenda:
(i) by instructions sent to their custody agent (if the agent provides this service) on
completion of the remote voting form, in the case of shareholders who hold shares
deposited with a central securities depository; or
(ii) by completing the remote voting form and sending it directly to the Company inaccordance with the instructions in Attachment I to this document, in the case of
all shareholders.
With the exception provided for in CVM Instruction 481 related to the depository institutions
which issue Depositary Receipts abroad, specially to the shares which are base to issue the
Depositary Receipts, in the event of any divergence between a remote voting form received
directly by the Company and voting instructions contained in the consolidated voting map
sent by the central securities depository for the same federal taxpayer number (CNPJ or
CPF), the voting instructions contained in the voting map will prevail and the form received
directly by the Company will be disregarded.
Shareholders may change their voting instructions as many times as they deem necessary
during the voting period. The last voting instruction will be considered in the Company’s
voting map.
Once the voting period is closed, shareholders may no longer change the voting instructions
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
10/631
already sent. Any shareholder who considers a change necessary must attend the EGM
personally, bearing the required documents described above, and ask for the voting
instructions sent by remote voting form to be disregarded.
A.2.1. Remote Voting Via Service Providers – Remote Voting System
Shareholders who opt to exercise their voting rights by form through a service provider must
transmit voting instructions to their custody agent in accordance with the rules established
by the custody agent, and the custody agent will then deliver the shareholder’s votes to
BM&FBOVESPA’s Central Securities Depository. To this end, such shareholders should
contact their custody agent to find out what procedures have been established for them to
issue remote voting instructions, and also to be told what documents and other information
are required.
In accordance with CVM Instruction 481, as amended, shareholders’ voting instructions
must arrive at their custody agent not later than seven (7) days before the EGM, i.e. by May
13, 2016 inclusive, unless a different deadline is set by the custody agent.
Also in accordance with CVM Instruction 481, BM&FBOVESPA’s Central Securities
Depository will ignore a shareholder’s voting instructions it receives via a custody agent if
they conflict with instructions issued with the same federal taxpayer number (CNPJ or CPF).
A.2.2. Delivery of Remote Voting Form Directly to The Company
Shareholders who opt to exercise their voting rights by form may choose instead to send
their remote voting form directly to the Company. If so, they must deliver the following
documents to BM&FBOVESP A’s Investor Relations Department at Rua XV de Novembro,
275, 5º andar, Centro, CEP: 01013-001, São Paulo/SP – Brazil:
(i) a physical copy of Attachment I hereto, completely filled out, initialed and signed;
(ii) authenticated copies of the documents described in the chart in item A above, as
applicable.
Shareholders who prefer to do so may scan the above documents mentioned in (i) and (ii)
and send them by email to [email protected] , in which case they must also mail the
original remote voting form paper and authenticated copies of the required accompanying
documents by May 18 to BM&FBOVESPA at Rua XV de Novembro, 275, 5º andar, Centro,
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
11/631
CEP: 01013-001, São Paulo/SP – Brazil.
When the Company receives the above documents mentioned in (i) and (ii), it will notify the
shareholders concerned and tell them whether or not the documents have been accepted
in accordgance with CVM Instruction 481, as amended.
If any remote voting form is sent directly to the Company and not completely filled out or not
accompanied by the required documents as per item (ii) above, it will be disregarded and
the shareholder concerned will be notified by an email message sent to the address
furnished in item 3 of the remote voting form.
The documents mentioned in (i) and (ii) must be filed and time-stamped at the Company not
later than two (2) days before the date of the EGM, i.e. by May 18, 2016 inclusive. Remote
voting form received by the Company thereafter will be disregarded.

individual shareholders to vote in a General Meeting must have been constituted less than

company, (ii) a lawyer, (iii) a financial institution, or (iv) an executive officer of the company.However, such shareholders must be represented in accordance with their constitutional

B. MANAGEMENT’S PROPOSAL
The Management of BM&FBOVESPA submits the proposal described below to theExtraordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 20, 2016.
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
18/631
B.1. Items to be discussed at the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting ofBM&FBOVESPA
BM&FBOVESPA’s Management clarifies that the matters presented in this proposal to
shareholders are part of the proposed corporate reorganization to combine the Company’s
activities with CETIP, which will result in ownership by BM&FBOVESPA of all the shares
issued by CETIP in accordance with the terms and conditions negotiated in the terms and
conditions established by Merger and Justification Agreement of merge the shares issued
by CETIP into Holding Company, all of whose shares belong to BM&FBOVESPA at this time
(and will still belong to it at the time of the merger with CETIP’s shares), followed by the
merger of the Holding Company into BM&FBOVESPA, executed on 4/15/2016 by the
managements of BM&FBOVESPA and CETIP.
The Transaction will comprise the following steps described in the Merger and Justification
Agreement, all of which are interdependent, and its consummation will be subject, among
other conditions, to the applicable corporate approvals and to (i) approval by CADE, Brazil’s
antitrust authority; (ii) approval by CVM, the Brazilian Securities Commission; and (iii)
submission to and appreciation by the Central Bank of Brazil:
(a) a capital increase for the Holding Company by means of the issuance of new
registered no-par shares of common stock, which will be fully subscribed and paid for by
BM&FBOVESPA in Brazilian currency not later than the Transaction Consummation Date
(as defined at item 3.2 of the Merger and Justification Agreement) (the “Holding Company
Capital Increase”);
(b) on the same date, as an interdependent act subsequent to the Holding Company
Capital Increase, absorption by the Holding Company of all shares issued by CETIP for their
economic value, resulting in the Holding Company’s issuance of redeemable common andpreferred shares to the CETIP shareholders to whom the absorbed shares belong (the
“CETIP Shareholders”), with one (1) common share and three (3) preferred shares in the
Holding Company being transferred for each common share issued by CETIP (considering
the number of shares in CETIP’s registered share capital and the adjustments mentioned in
2.1 of the Merger and Justification Agreement), pursuant to item 4.1 of the Merger and
Justification Agreement (the “ Absorption of CETIP Shares”). After the Transaction is
consummated, CETIP will conserve its legal personality and assets, and there will be no
legal succession;
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
19/631
(c) on the same date, as an interdependent and subsequent act to the Absorption of
CETIP Shares, redemption of all preferred shares issued by the Holding Company, where
payment for redemption of every three preferred shares issued by the Holding Company will
consist of the Redemption Value for Every Three Redeemable Preferred Shares in the
Holding Company (as objectively determined by application of the formulas stipulated in
Annex 2.2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger) (the “Redemption”). Following their
redemption, the Holding Company’s preferred shares will be cancelled against the capital
reserve;
(d) on the same date, as an interdependent act subsequent to the Redemption,
absorption of the Holding Company by BM&FBOVESPA for the book value of the Holding
Company’s net worth (after allowing for the effects of the Holding Company Capital Increase,
the Absorption of CETIP Shares and the Redemption), resulting in extinction of the Holding
Company and succession by BM&FBOVESPA to all the Holding Company’s assets, rights
and obligations, which in turn will result in migration of the CETIP Shareholders to
BM&FBOVESPA’s shareholder base (the “ Absorption of the Holding Company”).
The main terms of the Transaction, as required by CVM Instruction 481, article 20-A, are
described in Attachment II to this proposal.
The proposals for deliberation described in items below are interdependent legal
transactions to be performed in concatenated stages. No single stage can be efficacious
unless all the others are, with the sole exception of the proposed amendments to the
corporate bylaws that are not related to the Transaction with CETIP. Thus if the EGM should
reject any of the proposals in items below, or if the necessary corporate approvals are not
obtained, or if the conditions established in the Merger and Justification Agreement are not
fulfilled, then no matters approved by the EGM will produce effects, with the sole exceptionof the proposed amendments to the corporate bylaws that are not related to the Transaction
with CETIP.
Item 1 Investment in the Holding Company
The article 16, indent (j) of BM&FBOVESPA’s Bylaws requires the approval of a general
meeting of shareholders for any decision to invest in another company if the amount of the
investment exceeds the Reference Value (defined as 1% of net worth according to thefinancial statements for the previous financial year).
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
20/631
As established by the Merger and Justification Agreement, the increase in
BM&FBOVESPA’s ownership interest in the Holding Company via investment of
R$9,257,820,000.00, an amount three times greater than the Reference Value, is one of the
necessary stages to implement the Transaction.
In light of this amount, the EGM is asked to deliberate on BM&FBOVESPA’s investment in
the Holding Company of an amount corresponding to the Holding Company Capital Increase
by subscribing new shares.
Item 2 Approval of the Merger and Justification Agreement
Articles 224 and 225 of the Corporation Law require a description of the conditions and
justification for a merger in the Merger and Justification Agreement entered into by the
managements of the companies involved.
Therefore, based on the clarifications in this document and the provisions of the Corporation
Law, Management proposes approval in its entirety of the Merger and Justification
Agreement signed on April 15, 2016, by and between the managements of
BM&FBOVESPA, the Holding Company and CETIP, and consequently approval of the
Transaction. The Merger and Justification Agreement constitutes Attachment II.1 to this
document.
Item 3 Ratification of the Engagement of the entity which elaborated the
Valuation Report
In compliance with the applicable legislation, Management proposes ratification of its
engagement of Apsis Consultoria e Avaliações Ltda. (federal taxpayer no. CNPJ/MF
08.681.365/0001-30) as an entity which was responsible to prepare a Valuation Report of
the Holding Company’s net worth (the “Holding Company Valuation Report”). The
information required by CVM Instruction 481, article 21, constitutes Attachment III to this
document.
Item 4 Approval of the Holding Company Valuation Report
Apsis Consultoria e Avaliações Ltda. has produced the Holding Company Valuation Report,
taking into account the effects of the Holding Company Capital Increase and the Absorption
of CETIP Shares in accordance with the Merger and Justification Agreement.
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
21/631
In compliance with article 227 of the Corporation Law, which requires approval of the
Valuation Report by a general meeting, Management proposes approval of the Holding
Company Valuation Report based on the book value of the Holding Company’s net worth
as at December 31, 2015. The Holding Company Valuation Report constitutes Attachment
II.4 to this document.
Item 5 Approval of the Transaction
After the EGM having deliberated the above items, which are stages toward approving the
Transaction, Management proposes approval of the Transaction in accordance with the
terms and conditions set out in the Merger and Justification Agreement, resulting in the
Holding Company’s merger into BM&FBOVESPA.
If the EGM approves the Transaction, the Management of BM&FBOVESPA proposes that
its executives be authorized to perform any additional acts that may be necessary to
consummate the Transaction.
Item 6 Approve a Capital Increase for BM&FBOVESPA
In compliance with article 227 (1) of the Corporation Law, if the acquiring company’s general
meeting approves the Merger and Justification Agreement it must authorize a capital
increase to be subscribed and paid for by the acquired company using its net worth.
Therefore, if the Transaction is approved, Management proposes authorization of a capital
increase for BM&FBOVESPA to be subscribed and paid for by the directors of the Holding
Company, in an amount of R$11,295,468,000.00, upon the version of the Holding's
shareholders' equity
Management also proposes that the EGM determine the Board of Directors that, once
defined the final quantity of BM&FBOVESPA’s shares to be issued, according to the formula
established at Attachment 2.2 of the Merger and Justification Agreement, it shall register
and disclosure that amount, and, as a consequence, the number of shares in which the
capital stock of BM&FBOVESPA will be shared, submitting an amendment to Article 5 of
Company’s Bylaws to the first General Meeting to be held after this register.
Item 7 Approve amendments to BM&FBOVESPA’s Corporate Bylaws

by the general meeting will be allocated to the constitution of a capital reserve (“Holding
Company Capital Increase”);
(b)
on the same date, as an interdependent act subsequent to the Holding Company Capital
Increase, absorption by the Holding Company of all shares issued by CETIP at their
economic value, resulting in the Holding Company’s issuance of redeemable common and
preferred shares to the CETIP shareholders to whom the absorbed shares belong (the “CETIPShareholders”), with one (1) redeemable common share and three (3) redeemable preferred
shares in the Holding Company being transferred for each common share issued by CETIP

implementation, and the companies will issue a notice to the market indicating at least the date
on which the Transaction will be consummated, including the date on which CETIP’s shares will

After consummation of the Transaction, the companies will continue to operate as before.

that BM&FBOVESPA’s experience has shown to be essential. CETIP’s registration as a public
company will persist after consummation of the Transaction until BM&FBOVESPA decides
otherwise. CETIP’s shares will cease trading on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA
when the Transaction is consummated.
5. Analysis of the following aspects of the transaction:
a. Description of the main expected benefits, including synergies, tax benefits and strategic
advantages:
The aim of the Transaction is to create a world-class market infrastructure company of high
systemic importance and prepared to compete in an increasingly sophisticated and
challenging global marketplace while enhancing the security, solidity and efficiency of the
Brazilian market.
Integration of the companies’ activities will significantly strengthen the combined entity’s
business model by increasing revenue diversification, providing financial institutions,
custodians, registrars, asset managers and brokerage houses with the means to consolidate
their processes and back-office and treasury systems, significantly reducing costs and
operational risks throughout the financial system, and assuring efficiency gains in
interactions with the supervisory authorities for the financial and capital markets.
In light of the companies’ complementarity, their combination will mean gains for customers,
market participants, investors, and companies that need funding to invest or financial
instruments to manage their risks. The combination will also mean enhanced capital
efficiency for customers, given the possibility of using over-the-counter and exchange-traded
derivatives in one and the same central counterparty, together with other securities and
financial assets.
b.
Costs
8/18/2019 Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting - 05.20.2016 - Practical Guide
40/631

The managements of BM&FBOVESPA and the Holding Company estimate that the costs of
the Transaction for these companies will amount to approximately R$50 million, including
expenses with publications, auditors, appraisers, lawyers and other professionals engaged
as advisors for the Transaction.
The management of CETIP estimates that the costs of the Transaction for CETIP will beapproximately R$50 million, including expenses with publications, auditors, appraisers,
lawyers and other professionals engaged as advisors for the Transaction.
c. Risk Factors
The market value of BM&FBOVESPA’s common stock at the time of the Transaction’s
consummation may differ significantly from its price on the date on which the Merger and
Justification Agreement was signed. Although the Merger and Justification Agreement
establishes mechanisms for treating a specified level of fluctuation in the price of
BM&FBOVESPA’s common stock , the price may change owing to a range of factors that are beyond the companies’ control, including changes in their businesses, operations,
projections, timetables, regulatory issues, market conditions, general economic conditions,
and conditions in the industry. BM&FBOVESPA and CETIP cannot desist from the Merger
and Justification Agreement in response to changes in the price of either company’s common
stock.
The success of the Transaction will depend partly on the companies’ ability to realize
opportunities for growth and cost savings as a result of combining the businesses of
BM&FBOVESPA and CETIP. However, there is no certainty that these opportunities and
savings will be successful. If these goals are not successfully achieved, the expected benefits
of the Transaction may not fully materialize or may take longer to materialize than foreseen.
BM&FBOVESPA and CETIP operate independently and will continue to do until the
Transaction is consummated. Both companies will face major challenges in consolidating
functions, integrating their organizations, processes and operations in an optimal and
efficient manner, and retaining personnel. Integrating the companies will be a complex,
lengthy task, and the managements of both companies will have to devote substantial
resources and efforts to it. The integration process and other sensitivities of the Transaction
may result in challenges for each of the companies in their respective business activities, and
these may adversely affect their ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers,
employees and others with whom the companies interact, or adversely affect the
materialization of the benefits expected from the Transaction.
d. If the transaction is with a related party, what alternatives could have been used to achieve
the same objectives? State the reasons for which such alternatives were ruled out.
Not applicable.
Exchange ratios were negotiated among independent parties, as described in item f.ii, and
there will be no right of withdrawal, as noted in itemErro! Fonte de referência não encontrada..
