Publicly-held Company
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
GAFISA S.A. (BOVESPA: GFSA3; OTC: GFASY) (“Gafisa” or “Company”) informs its shareholders that the Board of Directors in a meeting held on April 15, 2019, approved the Company’s capital stock increase.
In accordance with Article 30, item XXII of the CVM Instruction No. 480 and guidelines provided in the Official Circular Letter/CVM/SEP/Nº 03/2019, released on February 28, 2019, the Company’s Management publicly informs that the Company’s capital stock increase was deliberated at the Board of Directors’ Meeting held on April 15, 2019, as follows:
1. Reasons for the Capital Increase and Allocation of Funds.
The Capital Increase aims at raising funds which shall be earmarked to cope with the Strategic Plan to be elaborated, as deliberated at the Company’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of April 15, 2019, which shall confer to Gafisa the deserved outstanding position in the Brazilian real estate sector, wherein the Company was always a benchmark.
It also aims at meeting the liquidity demand to deal with short and medium term objective challenges to optimize Gafisa’s activities, so that to reinforce its capital structure and improve its net debt/shareholders’ equity ratio.
Referred Capital Increase will not have relevant legal/corporate consequences since it ensures preemptive rights to the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to provisions of Article 171 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.
2. Number of Shares to Be Issued and Guaranteed Rights.
The Capital Increase will occur by means of the issue, for the private subscription of twenty-six million, two hundred, seventy-three thousand, nine hundred and sixty-two (26,273,962) non-par, registered, book-entry shares.
Shares to be issued will confer to its holders the same full rights, advantages and restrictions conferred by other common shares issued by the Company, as set forth in its Bylaws, inclusive as to receipt of dividends and/or interest on equity to be declared by the Company from the date of their issue.
3. Issue Price per Share.
The issue base price shall be six Reais and two centavos (R$6.02) per share, defined based on Article 170, Paragraph 1, items I and III, of Law No. 6.404/76, applying a scheduled bonus: (i) fifteen percent (15%) applied over the issue base price in the exercise of preemptive right, at a price of five Reais and twelve centavos (R$5.12) per common share (ON), and (ii) an additional three percent (3%) in the amount of four Reais and ninety-six centavos (R$4.96) per common share, in unsold shares subscription.
That is to say, for preemptive right underwriters, the bonus achieved in the exercise of unsold shares amounts to the maximum percentage of seventeen integers and fifty-five hundredths percent (17.55%).
To sum up, the bonus starts from fifteen percent (15%), to exercise the preemptive right in share subscription, and reaches seventeen integers and fifty-five hundredths percent (17.55%) in unsold shares subscription.
3.1. Criterion and justifications for issue price calculation
The Company’s Management understands that, among the price calculation criteria, those which most appropriately reflect the Company’s share price, i.e., those representing the value closest to the market reality, are the prospect of future profitability and share quote on the stock exchange, as they take into account: (i) the sum of net present value of units sold, units launched and unsold and net present value of debt and other assets; and the net present value of new launches, future, general and administrative expenses and landbank acquisitions over the years; and (ii) to a lesser extent in the composition of increase pricing criteria, due to a high stock volatility, the share quote on the stock exchange with discount in view of market conditions.
This methodology of the prospect of future profitability has a greater assertiveness during periods of high cash pressure and restricted financing capacity. On the other hand, although it represents a smaller amount of composition of the increase pricing cumulative criterion, the share quote on the stock exchange works as a natural reference of a realistic issue price capable to take into account the market conditions and continue attractive.
Thus, Management understands that solely and exclusively adopting the share quote on the stock exchange criterion, or consider it in proportions equivalent to the prospect of future profitability criterion, it would be inappropriate, due to the fact that the share excessive volatility results in an amount not representing the share’s economic value.
Moreover, disregard the share quote in a company with such a tradeable index also would not be the most appropriate criterion. Hence, Management applied the price average, capturing stock volatility in the period between March 9, 2019, and April 9, 2019.
2
This analysis gave reasons to justify the combination of pricing criteria elements, items I and III, Paragraph 1 of Article 170 of Law No. 6.404/1976, and the prevalence of prospect of profitability, applying in this case, discount in issue price, which according to Management’s opinion, it represents the most appropriate pricing of the Company’s shares, without unjustified dilution of non-participating shareholders.
Thus, with an adequate level of accuracy, it is possible to align the need of generating cash of the Company, to meet the debt service and maintain the ordinary course of its operations, without compromising the obligations then assumed.
3.1.1. Reason for discount of Issue Price to the Market Price.
Considering the need of funding by the Company, the discount, applied in view of market conditions, as authorized by Article 170, Paragraph 1, item III, of Law No. 6.404/76, aims at stimulating the Company’s shareholders adhesion and, at the same time, obtaining from certain investors a guarantee to subscribe part of the Capital Increase.
In this regard, a discount was defined at seventeen integers and fifty-five hundredths percent (17.55%), with a scheduled application of fifteen percent (15%) in the exercise of the preemptive right, and applying over such percentage, three percent (3%) in unsold shares subscription.
The preliminary fifteen percent (15%) of discount aims at (i) conferring additional advantage for share underwriters in Capital Increase; (ii) bolstering the Company’s capital structure to deal with short and medium term objective challenges to recover the Company’s activities; and (iii) reinforcing the underwriters’ commitment to take part in the Company’s capitalization.
The additional discount of three percent (3%), upon the unsold share apportionment, besides reaffirming the objectives mentioned above, would have as justification to revert to the benefit of shareholders participating in the capital increase, an eventual commission for autonomous agents who would act as brokers of the Company’s shares with potential investors.

In view of the current ownership structure of the Company, each common share shall confer to its holder the right to subscribe 0.637842894 common share issued in the Capital Increase.

Since the subscription right cannot be exercised by holders of the American Depositary Shares Program (“ADSs”), Citibank N.A., in the capacity of depositary institution of the Company’s ADSs Program, shall endeavor commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Preemptive Rights attributable to the holders of ADSs, distributing the proceeds obtained with the sale amongst the holders of ADSs as provided for in the ADSs Deposit Agreement.

Considering that the Company’s shareholders shall be ensured the preemptive right in the subscription of new shares if shareholders fully exercise their respective preemptive rights, the Capital Increase shall not cause any dilution of current shareholders.

7.1. Management opinion on the Capital Increase Effects

8. Procedures to Exercise the Preemptive Right.
The holders of the Company’s shares shall have the preemptive right in the subscription of new shares, and they may subscribe or assign their preemptive right so that third parties subscribe a number of shares proportional to the ownership interest of these shareholders in the Company.
