16. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

On 16 April 2008, the Board of Directors of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. approved a simple demerger project of the company which implied the split of Altri's two business units that operated in the pulp and paper sector and in the steel and storage systems sector. This reorganization aimed a bigger focus and transparency on Altri's business, and giving each of the areas an opportunity to be better seen and better evaluated by the market, and allowed Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached eucalyptus pulp. Consequently the Board of Directors considers that there is only one business segment and the management information is reported and analyzed on this basis.
