EXCERPT OF THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING

HELD ON OCTOBER 26, 2011

As the secretary of the Board of Directors’ Meeting of Contax Participações S.A. held on October 26, 2011, I CERTIFY that item 5: “Cancellation of Contax Participações ADRs” of this meeting has the following wording:

“Regarding item 5 of the Agenda, the cancellation of American Depositary Receipts – ADRs in the U.S. OTC market (CTXNY) was authorized, considering: that they represented 1.2% of preferred shares, 0.75% of total shares and market cap of Contax Participações on September 31, 2011; (ii) the low ADR liquidity levels; (iii) the reduction in expenses; and (iv) that most foreign investors invest directly in Contax Participações through the Bovespa. The Company’s Board of Executive Officers is authorized to implement the hereby approved matter.”

These minutes were signed by the attending members who represent the majority of the members of the Board of Directors, as follows: (signatures) Fernando Antonio Pimentel Melo (Chairman); Cristiano Yazbek Pereira; Alexandre Jereissati Legey (alternate); Carlos Fernando Horta Bretas (alternate); Rafael Cardoso Cordeiro; Shakhaf Wine; Manuel Jeremias Leite Caldas.
