b) Investment Funds – Plano 1

The stock of Litel Participações, a specific purpose corporation (SPC) which holds stakes in Valepar, the controller of Vale, are entered in the exclusive BB Carteira Ativa fund and in PREVI’S own portfolio. Since Litel’s stock is not traded in the market (although indirectly they represent Vale stock), these stakes have been being appraised based on the economic value criterion since 2002.

The value of PREVI’S participation in Litel was reduced from R$30,668,312,0000 in 2007, to R$28,553,590,000, in 2008, on account of the economic reappraisal made in 2008. Part of this amount is allocated to the BB Renda Fixa IV Fund (R$2,352,589,000), as per Note 7.

Stock belonging to 521 Participações (a specific purpose corporation that holds stakes in power sector companies such as CPFL, Neoenergia and Itapebi) and Neoenergia are allocated to the exclusive BB Carteira Livre I Investment Fund and account for 90.1% of the Fund’s assets.

In 2008, 521 Participações (R$7,933,935,000) and Neoenergia (R$3,529,169,000) were also priced at the economic value. Part of the value of 512 Participações is allocated to the BB Renda Fixa IV exclusive fund (R$1,245,654,000); while part of Neoenergia's value is in PREVI'S own portfolio (R$2,825,926,000).
