Cash, upon subscription.
ELIGIBILITY FOR SUBSCRIPTION

Shareholders wishing to trade their preemptive rights may do so in the period from June 29, 2005 until July 21, 2005 , and those shareholders whose shares are kept in custody with Banco ABN Amro Real should either request to such institution the respective certificate of assignment of rights, which shall be issued by ABN Amro Real, or instruct a securities dealer to be selected by him/her to directly trade the shares at the stock exchanges.
