The matters to be resolved in the Shareholders’ Meetings are described in the Call Notice and
also in this Manual. Please, read this Manual carefully. Should you have any doubts, we are
available to assist you.
Your vote is very important to Lojas Renner S.A. (“Corporation”), the first Brazilian
Corporation with its capital stock totally diluted in the market. In order to install the
Shareholders’ Meetings, it will be necessary the attendance of one fourth (1/4) of the
Corporation’s capital stock in the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting (AGO) and two thirds (2/3) of
the Corporation’s capital stock in the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting (AGE), provided
that we are proposing the amendment of the Corporation’s Bylaws. In case there is not enough
quorum to install any of the Shareholders’ Meetings, the Corporation will define new dates,
which shall be timely informed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholders’ Meetings
may occur in different dates, i.e. the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting may be held on the

different date. The Corporation shall acknowledge the reaching of the necessary quorums to
install the Shareholders’ Meeting within seventy-two (72) hours prior to the Shareholders’
Meetings.
We are employing our best efforts to have the Shareholders’ Meetings carried out on first call
and we are counting on your presence. Our intention is to make the Corporation model a
successful case in Brazil.
Finally, by virtue of the resolutions taken in our Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on
October 3, 2006, when, pursuant to the proposal by the management of the Corporation, the
shareholders decided to remove from the agenda the matter with respect to the Stock Option
Plan, we are proposing once again amendments to the Stock Option Plan which matter is part of

Sincerely yours,

3) AMENDMENTS TO THE STOCK OPTION PLAN OF THE CORPORATION
(ITEMS “VII” TO “XII” OF THE PROXY)
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE INTENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE CORPORATION’S STOCK
OPTION PLAN?
The current Stock Option Plan of the Corporation (“Plan”) was prepared and approved in the
Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 25, 2005 by the former controller J.C.
Penney Brasil Comercial Ltda.
During the last months, the Corporation has received suggestions aiming at the
improvement of the Plan, including amendments in order to conform the Plan to the
demands and considerations of the current shareholders and investors of the
Corporation.
In this regard, Lojas Renner hired a consulting firm specialized in remuneration of
officers, Towers Perrin, which provided the management of the Corporation with
recommendations in order to conform the Plan to the best practices applied by national and
international corporations. The relevant studies are at the disposal of the Shareholders at the
Corporation’s headquarter.
Based on the hired consultation, the Management has decided to promote the following
amendments to the Plan, which shall be submitted to the shareholders in the Extraordinary
Shareholders’ Meeting:
•
Section 4 of the Plan – Characteristics of the Program (subitem iii):
To amend the wording in order to exclude the obligation of the Committee to establish index for
adjustement of the Subcription Price. This amendment is proposed as consideration to the
proposal of amendment to Section 8 of the Plan – Subscription Price -, which contemplates the
exclusion of the discount of up to twenty per cent (20%) applicable on the execise price of the
options.
•
Section 6 of the Plan – Amount of Shares Included in the Plan:
To amend the wording in order to clarify that the shares object of the Plan are those issued by
the Corporation at any time. In this case, the percentage of up to four point five per cent (4.5%)
shall be applicable over the amount of the corporation’s capital existent in its records at the time
the option is granted, and for such reason, the amount of capital may vary from time to time,
including comprising any capital increase, split-off, amalgamation, bonus that may occur in the
Corporation.
•
Section 8 of the Plan – Exercise Price and Stock Exchange Value:
To amend the wording (i) in order to exclude the discount of up to twenty per cent (20%)
applicable on the execise price of the options, and (ii) so that the Stock Exchange Value of the
shares under this Plan and of any of the Programs constitutes the weighted average trade prices
in the stock exchange within thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date of the event that gave rise
to such exercise, and not the average of the day with the higher volume of trade within the ten
(10) days prior to the date of the event.

Manual for the Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting - Page 20 of 27
•
Section 11 of the Plan – Dismissal by Corporation’s Initiative:
To amend the wording in order to conform it with the provisions of Section 13, that is, in order
to clarify that in case of dismissal by Corporation’s initiative due to the occurrence of the events
established in Section 13 of the Plan, the specific criteria determined in such Section 13 shall be
observed.
•
Section 13 of the Plan – Accelerated Exercise of the Options:
To include a new Section in the Plan, pursuant to which in case of occurrence of events that
trigger the obligation to implement a mandatory tender offer, in the terms of Sections 41, 42, 43
and 44 of Bylaws, or in case of a successful mandatory tender offer for acquisition of
Corporation’s control, if any of such cases results in dismissal of a Participant, by initiative of
the Corporation, without justified reason, then all options granted to the respective Participant,
which are still not exercisable, shall become automatically exercisable.
In addition, the options granted under the Plan shall also be deemed exercisable in other cases
which are not expressaly provided in the Plan, in all cases subject to previous exam and opinion
by the Committee, which shall evaluated the relevant case and, if that is the case, submit to the
approval by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
WHY DOES THE CORPORATION RECOMMEND THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CORPORATION’S
STOCK OPTION PLAN?
The Management of the Corporation recommends the amendments to the Stock Option Plan of
the Corporation, since it intends to conform the interests of the Magament and the Executives
with the interests of the Shareholders, as well as to provide greater transparency upon exercise
of the options and have instruments to be able to maintain the best Managers and Executives.
