To the Shareholders

Pursuant to the legal requirements, the Board of Directors of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. ('Altri') hereby presents its Directors' Report for the first semester of 2013.

INTRODUCTION

Altri was incorporated as of March 2005, as a result of Cofina's demerger. Altri is a reference European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and is a listed company included in NYSE Euronext Lisbon, integrating the PSI 20 (Portuguese Stock Index), the benchmark stock market index. In addition to pulp production, the company is also present in electric energy from forest renewable sources, namely industrial cogeneration, black liquor and biomass. The forestry strategy is based on full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.

Over the past years, Altri invested in Portugal about 465 million Euro, mainly on Celbi and Celtejo unities. Currently, Altri owns three pulp mills in Portugal with a total capacity of 910,000 tons/year of bleached eucalyptus pulp in 2012. The company has an ongoing series of small projects to optimize operating efficiency which will increase production capacity in the medium term.

Currently, Altri manages over 84,000 hectares of forest in Portugal. The company obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) 1 and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most worldwide acknowledged certification entities.

Altri's industrial strategy implementation is based on integrated forest management in Portugal. This model is based on forest optimization, ensuring a full recovery of all its components. Thus, the eucalyptus is processed in Altri mills, producing pulp and power (cogeneration). The bark, the branches and forest waste are used to produce electric energy from biomass.

Until June 2008, Altri had another industrial activity through the F. Ramada, which was devoted to retail steel and development of industrial solutions for storage systems. In June 2008 took place the split of the F. Ramada. The strategic rationale of this operation lies in focusing exclusively Altri on their core business, forest management and production of pulp.

Since the beginning of its activity Altri carried out various acquisitions (Celtejo in 2005 and in 2006 Celbi) that allowed Altri to reinforce its position in its operating markets and by the development of a set of expansion activity projects.

For a better valuation of forest resources, Altri acquired in 2005, 50% of EDP Produção - Bioeléctrica, S.A., for, in partnership with EDP, producing electricity from forest biomass. This company is leader in its market segment with a share licenses to the production of electricity by forest biomass of 50%.

SECOND SEMESTER 2013 OUTLOOK

The demand for bleached pulp has been undergoing a recurring growth period in the last 10 years mainly driven by demand from Asia. This reality was repeated during the first semester of 2013. Regarding the second semester, it will be expect a persistence of this trend, although it is anticipated some seasonal reduction in demand during summer months.

The growth on the supply side has been absorbed by the growing demand from the tissue paper and packaging essentially.

Altri's Board of Directors will continue to implement the strategic policy defined that is based on the reduction in net debt of the Group, through the generation of cash flow; continuous improvement in asset quality and an effective cost control.

Altri was incorporated as a result of the reorganization process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A. occurred in 2005, through the demerger of the investment previously held by this group in Celulose do Caima, SGPS, S.A.

7. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

In accordance with current legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a four-year period (five years for Social Security), with the exception when there have been tax losses, cases with there have been granted tax benefits, or tax inspections or claims are in progress, in which cases the periods may be extended or suspended.
