ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET

BRF – Brasil Foods (“BRF” – BM&FBovespa: BRFS3; NYSE: BRFS) S.A. informs the market that a plenary meeting of the Brazilian antitrust regulator, CADE, held today assessed the terms of an agreement negotiated between it and BRF to establish the rules under which the ownership of the pork assets of Doux, given in guarantee to BRF in 2011, as disclosure in note 6.4 of Financial Statements released on 03/22/12, may be legally transferred to third parties or to BRF, through the extrajudicial auction process foreseen in Act 9.514/1997 (fiduciary lien law). This agreement was necessary to allow BRF to execute the guarantees given by Doux as collateral for advances provided by BRF and which have not been settled by Doux.

This same agreement establishes the limits for the use of the referred assets by BRF and also authorizes the Company to take all measures necessary to recover the advances made to Doux in 2011 which appeared in the company´s balance sheet.

In conclusion, BRF wishes to make it clear that there will be no initial impact on its balance sheet as a result of this agreement and that it will keep the market informed on the next developments related to this matter.
