Pursuant to the transaction, Ternium would pay $2.06 per ordinary share, which would result in an aggregate purchase price of approximately $315.2 million in cash for 153.1 million ordinary shares, increasing its participation in the Usiminas control group from 51.5% to 83.1%.

Previdência Usiminas (Usiminas employees' pension fund) will continue to hold the remainder 7.1%.
