Brookfield Brazil Timber Fundo (BBTF)*, in December 2007, has as strategy to invest in one or more companies, whose principal corporate purpose is to, directly or indirectly, acquire, develop, manage and harvest principally pine and eucalyptus timber assets in Brazil
• In aggregate, the plantations represent an attractive species mix with 30% pine and 70% eucalyptus stands across the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul
• The pine timberland assets are located within the most competitive and dynamic softwood processing and consuming regions in Brazil, while the eucalyptus timberland assets are positioned within states that are attracting the country’s most significant capital investment in pulp, pig iron and other wood converting facilities
• The platform positions Brookfield to successfully source and structure further acquisitions in Brazil
• The assets are managed in Brazil by Brookfield professionals with a proven track record in timber asset acquisition and operation
• All timberland investments are, or are working to become, certified under a Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification scheme (“PEFC”), as this provides an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests
• In addition, each of the timberlands operations is regulated by federal and state laws, which, in many cases, are more rigorous than those required under the various certification schemes
• Brookfield adheres to safe labor practices and an environmental compliance model consistent with best practices
