5.875% Notes due 2025
Unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by
Rumo S.A.
(Incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil)

Rumo Luxembourg S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) organized and established under the laws of the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 6, rue Eugène Ruppert, L-2453, Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and registered with the
Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies (Registre de commerce et des sociétés, Luxembourg) under number B 210069, or the Issuer, is offering
U.S.$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% notes due 2025, or the notes. Interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 5.875% per year. The
notes will mature on January 18, 2025. The Issuer will pay interest on the notes in arrears on January 18 and July 18 of each year, commencing on July 18,
2018.
The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to January 18, 2022, by paying 100% of the principal amount of
the notes so redeemed plus the applicable "make-whole" amount and accrued and unpaid interest. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole
or in part, on January 18, 2022 or at any time thereafter, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes) set forth in
this offering memorandum, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to January 18, 2021, the Issuer may, on any one or more
occasions, redeem up to 35% of the notes at a redemption price of 105.875% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, using the proceeds
of certain equity offerings. The notes may also be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, at
any time upon the occurrence of specified events relating to tax law imposed by relevant jurisdictions, as set forth in this offering memorandum. See
"Description of Notes--Redemption." In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that results in a Ratings Decline (each as defined in
"Description of Notes"), the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase the notes at the price as set forth in this offering memorandum. See "Description of
Notes--Certain Covenants--Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control."
Rumo S.A., or the Guarantor, will unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, on an unsecured basis, all the obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the
notes. The Guarantor's guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with its other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness and guarantees (except those
obligations preferred by operation of law) and effectively subordinated to the liabilities of its subsidiaries and jointly controlled companies. The guarantee
will be effectively junior to the secured indebtedness of the Guarantor to the extent of such security. For a detailed description of the notes, see "Description
of Notes."
There is currently no trading market for the notes. We will apply to list the notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in its capacity
as market operator of the Euro MTF market and to trade them on the Euro MTF market of that exchange. The Euro MTF market is not a regulated market
for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC). See "Listing and General Information." The notes will not be
admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market prior to or on the settlement date. This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of Part
IV of the Luxembourg law dated July 10, 2005 on prospectuses for securities, as amended (the "Prospectus Law").

Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 18.

This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the

pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus
Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Initial Purchaser has authorized, nor do

Financial Statements
Corporate Events
On April 1, 2015, Rumo Logística consummated the acquisition of ALL, or the ALL Acquisition. Accordingly,
ALL's results of operations for the remainder of the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015 are fully
consolidated into Rumo Logística's results of operations for the corresponding period. As a result of the ALL
Acquisition, the comparability of Rumo Logística's financial information as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014 with Rumo Logística's financial information as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015 as well as the comparability of Rumo Logística's financial information as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2015 with the Rumo group's financial information for subsequent years is limited.
On October 8, 2016, ALL América Latina Logística S.A. changed its corporate name to Rumo S.A.
Subsequently, on December 31, 2016, Rumo Logística was merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary Rumo S.A., as
a result of which Rumo S.A. is the successor entity to Rumo Logística. As a result of this corporate reorganization,
Rumo's historical financial statements for any period prior to December 31, 2016 only reflect the results of
operations of Rumo's rail business (and excludes any results of operation derived from the port business, as such
business was conducted by Rumo Logística separately from Rumo (its then subsidiary)) until the consummation of
the merger of Rumo Logística into Rumo.
Financial Statements
We have included in this offering memorandum (all of which are presented in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB):
·
Rumo group consolidated interim unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 and 2016;
·
Rumo group consolidated audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2016; and
·
Rumo Logística's audited individual and consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015 (with the corresponding figures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014).
The Rumo group consolidated interim unaudited financial statements present the consolidated results of
operations and cash flows of Rumo and Rumo Logística as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
and 2016 on a consolidated basis, and the Rumo group consolidated audited financial statements present the results
of operations and cash flows of Rumo and Rumo Logística as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 on
a consolidated basis. These consolidated financial statements of the Rumo group were prepared in order to provide
comparable financial information regarding the Rumo group throughout the presented periods notwithstanding the
corporate reorganization referred to above was undertaken on December 31, 2016.
v

Specifically, the merger of Rumo Logística into the Company impacted the comparability between the interim
financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the interim financial information
as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As a result of this corporate reorganization, the Company's
historical financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 do not reflect the results of
operations of Rumo Logística (its then parent company). For comparability purposes, the Company's consolidated
interim unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 present the
consolidated results of operations of Rumo Logística (including any results of operations derived from the highway
business, the rail business, the transshipment terminals and the port business) on a consolidated basis with the
Company's rail business (including any results of operations derived from the rail business), as if such corporate
reorganization had been consummated on January 1, 2016.
With respect to the Company's consolidated financial information discussed above, as of December 31, 2016,
the Company's balance sheet reflected the assets and liabilities of both Rumo Logística and the Company, in light of
the consummation of the merger of Rumo Logística into the Company on December 31, 2016. Accordingly, such
financial information of Rumo Logística and the Company were presented on a consolidated basis so as to allow for
comparability between the statements of income and cash flows for the periods.
The consolidated financial information included in this offering memorandum covers the following entities:
Rumo S.A. and its subsidiaries and Rumo Logística Operadora Multimodal S.A. and its subsidiaries. As the
incorporation of Rumo Logística by the Company occurred on December 31, 2016, the Company's results on
September 30, 2016 did not include the operations of Rumo Logística, which were contributed directly into the
Company on the date of the incorporation. Consequently, in order to prepare the income statement, cash flow
statement, value added statement and operating results for the comparative period ended September 30, 2016, it was
necessary to combine the results of the Company with those of Rumo Logística while also eliminating any
transactions between the two. In practice, the result of this combination is the same financial information as was
previously presented by Rumo Logística (when it was the parent company).
With respect to the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities were not combined given that as of September 30,
2017 and December 31, 2016, following the incorporation, the balance sheet already included the assets and
liabilities of both companies.
See also "Independent Auditors" and "Index to Financial Statements."
Rounding
We have made rounding adjustments to reach some of the figures included in this offering memorandum. As a
result, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that
preceded them.
Market Data
We obtained market and competitive position data, including market forecasts, used throughout this offering
memorandum from market research, publicly available information and industry publications, as well as internal
surveys. We include data from reports prepared by the Central Bank, the Brazilian Ministry of Industry, Foreign
Trade and Services (Ministério da Indústria, Comércio Exterior e Serviços), or MDIC, the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations, or FAO, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply
(Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento), or MAPA, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation
(Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária), or Embrapa, the Brazilian Secretariat for Foreign Commerce
(Secretaria de Comércio Exterior), or Secex, the National Supply Company (Companhia Nacional de
Abastecimento), or Conab, which is a state owned company responsible for the management and control of the
register of establishments that store agricultural products, the United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA,
the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), or IBGE, the São
Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (formerly BM&FBOVESPA S.A. Bolsa de Valores,
Mercadorias e Futuros)), or B3, the Brazilian National Economic and Social Development Bank (Banco Nacional
de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social), or BNDES, and the Fundação Getúlio Vargas, or FGV. We believe that
all market data in this offering memorandum is reliable, accurate and complete.
vi

Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this offering memorandum we present EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Adjusted Working
Capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA measures our operating profitability and is calculated as
profit (loss) plus current and deferred income tax and social contribution, financial results (net) and depreciation and
amortization. We define EBITDA Margin as EBITDA divided by net revenue, expressed as a percentage. We also
present Net Debt, which we calculate as our long-term debt, finance leases, real estate credit certificates
(Certificados de Recebíveis Imobiliários), net of derivative financial instruments (current and non-current), less cash
and cash equivalents and marketable securities, and restricted cash from borrowings and financings. In addition, we
present Net Adjusted Working Capital, which we define as the sum as accounts receivable, derivative financial
instruments, inventories, related parties, current income taxes, other recoverable taxes and other assets net of
derivative financial instruments, accounts payable-suppliers, salaries payable, current income tax, other taxes
payable, dividends payable, leases and concessions, related parties, deferred income, other financial liabilities and
other current liabilities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations." The non-GAAP financial measures described in this offering memorandum are not a substitute for the
GAAP measures of earnings, for which our management has responsibility.
Our management believes that EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Adjusted Working Capital
provide useful information to potential investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of our operating
performance and their comparison of our operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in
the same industry and other industries. However, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Adjusted Working
Capital are not measures under IFRS and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or loss, cash flow
from operations or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Adjusted Working Capital are not intended to represent funds
available for dividends or other discretionary uses by us because those funds are required for debt service, capital
expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Debt
The manner in which we calculate EBITDA and Net Debt, as set forth above, for the purposes of presenting
such information in this offering memorandum differs from the manner in which Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
Net Debt are defined under "Description of the Notes--Certain Definitions--Adjusted EBITDA" and "Description
of the Notes--Certain Definitions--Adjusted Net Debt."
The concepts of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Debt serve solely as the basis for the calculation of certain
covenants and certain other matters in connection with the notes as set forth in "Description of the Notes," and, in
summary, are defined as follows:
·
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, means, for any period, our net revenue for sales and services, minus
our cost of goods sold and services rendered, minus our administrative and selling expenses, minus other
operating expenses, plus other operating income, plus any depreciation or amortization included in any of
the foregoing. Results from the sale or retirement of assets, provisions/reversals of contingencies,
impairment charges, fair value gains or adjustments and extraordinary restructuring expenses are excluded
