Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Vale S.A.

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Vale S.A. (“the Company”) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended on June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six-month periods ended on June 30, 2017 and 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an audit opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vale S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 22, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Selected Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

Expressed in millions of United States dollar, unless otherwise stated

1. Corporate information

Vale S.A. (the “Parent Company”) is a public company headquartered in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with securities traded on the stock exchanges of São Paulo - BM&F BOVESPA (Vale3 and Vale5), New York - NYSE (VALE and VALE.P), Paris - NYSE Euronext (Vale3 and Vale5) and Madrid — LATIBEX (XVALO and XVALP).

Vale and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Vale” or “Company”) are global producers of iron ore and iron ore pellets, key raw materials for steelmaking, and producers of nickel, which is used to produce stainless steel and metal alloys employed in the production of several products. The Company also produces copper, metallurgical and thermal coal, manganese ore, ferroalloys, platinum group metals, gold, silver and cobalt. The information by segment is presented in note 3.

2. Basis for preparation of the interim financial statements

a) Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company (“interim financial statements”) present the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

b) Basis of presentation

The interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as adjusted to reflect: (i) the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through the income statement or available-for-sale financial instruments measured at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income; and (ii) impairment of assets.

The accounting practices, accounting estimates and judgments, risk management and measurement methods are the same as those adopted when preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. The accounting policy for recognizing and measuring income taxes in the interim period is described in note 6. These interim financial statements were prepared to update users about relevant information presented in the period and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The comparative information for the period ended June 30, 2016 was restated for the purposes of applying IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” after approval by the Board of Directors of the sale of the fertilizers assets, as presented in Note 11.

The interim financial statements of the Company and its associates and joint ventures are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”), which in the case of the Parent Company is the Brazilian real (“BRL” or “R$”). For presentation purposes, these interim financial statements are presented in United States dollar (“USD” or “US$”) as the Company believes that this is how international investors analyze the interim financial statements.

The exchange rates used by the Company for major currencies to translate its operations are as follows:

			Average rate for the
	Closing rate		Three month period ended		Six month period ended
	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016
US Dollar (“US$”)	3.3082	3.2591	3.2174	3.5076	3.1807	3.7017
Canadian dollar (“CAD”)	2.5485	2.4258	2.3937	2.7217	2.3847	2.7809
Australian dollar (“AUD”)	2.5394	2.3560	2.4154	2.6153	2.3986	2.7142
Euro (“EUR” or “€”)	3.7750	3.4384	3.5480	3.9624	3.4479	4.1288

Subsequent events were evaluated through July 26, 2017, which is the date the interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.

c) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

The standards and interpretations issued by IASB relevant to the Company but not yet effective are the same as those adopted when preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

a) Discontinued operations (Fertilizers assets)

In December 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with The Mosaic Company (“Mosaic”) to sell (i) the phosphate assets located in Brazil, except those mainly related to nitrogen assets located in Cubatão (Brazil); (ii) the control of Compañia Minera Miski Mayo S.A.C., in Peru; (iii) the potassium assets located in Brazil; and (iv) the potash projects in Canada.

In December 2016, the agreed transaction price was US$2.5 billion, of which US$1.25 billion will be paid in cash and US$1.25 billion with 42.3 million common shares to be issued by Mosaic, which at the agreement signature date represented around 11% of Mosaic’s total outstanding common shares.

The spin-off of the nitrogen assets located in Cubatão from the remaining Vale Fertilizantes S.A.’s assets was concluded in July 2017 (subsequent event). The completion of this milestone was one of the requirement for the conclusion of the transaction, which is expected to be completed until the end of 2017 and, still, is subject to the fulfillment of usual precedent conditions, including the approval of the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE) and other antitrust authorities; and other operational and regulatory matters.

The fertilizer segment, including Cubatão, is presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale.

On June 30, 2017, the net assets of the fertilizers segment were adjusted to reflect the fair value less cost to sell and a loss of US$377 was recognized in the income statement as “Impairment of non-current assets” from discontinued operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. The loss derived basically from the variation of the market value of Mosaic shares that will be received on the closing.

The results for the period and the cash flows of discontinued operations of the Fertilizer segment for the period ended June 30, 2017 are presented as follows, and includes the corresponding restated period ended June 30, 2016, as described in note 2(b).

12. Acquisitions and divestitures

a) Coal - Nacala Logistic Corridor

In December 2014 and as amended in November 2016, the Company signed an agreement with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) to transfer 50% of its stake of 66.7% in Nacala Logistic Corridor, which comprises entities that holds railroads and port concessions located in Mozambique and Malawi. Also, Mitsui committed to acquire 15% participation in the entity that owns Vale Moçambique, which hold the Moatize Coal Project.

In March 2017, the transaction was concluded, and consideration of US$690 was received by Vale. After the completion of the transaction, the Company (i) holds 81% of Vale Moçambique and retains the control of the Moatize Coal Project and (ii) shares control of the Nacala Logistic Corridor structure (Nacala BV), with Mitsui.

Nacala Logistic Corridor is in negotiations for a project finance, which the completion is expected to occur during the course of 2017. Upon the completion an additional amount of US$57 will be paid by Mitsui. Mitsui has certain rights, based on the execution of the project finance, to sell their participation in the Moatize Coal Project and Nacala BV, back to Vale, based on the original amounts and the same number of shares. The fair value of these put options is non-significant.

As a consequence of sharing control of Nacala BV, the Company:

(i) derecognized the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale in the total amount of US$4,144, from which US$4,063 refers to property, plant and equipment and intangibles;

(ii) derecognized US$14 related to cash and cash equivalents;

(iii) recognized a gain of US$504 in the income statement related to the sale and the re-measurement at fair value, of its remaining interest at Nacala BV based on the consideration received;

(iv) reclassified the gain related to cumulative translation adjustments to income statements in the amount of US$11;

The result of the transaction regarding the assets from Nacala’s corridor was recognized in the income statement as “Impairment and other results on non-current assets”.

The results of the transaction with the Moatize Coal Project was recognized in “Results from operation with noncontrolling interest” in the amount of US$105, directly in Stockholders’ Equity.

The consideration received was recognized in the statement of cash flows in “Proceeds from disposal of assets and investments” in the amount of US$435 and “Transactions with noncontrolling stockholders” in the amount of US$255.

Due to deconsolidation of Nacala Logistic Corridor, Vale has after the transaction, outstanding loan balances with Nacala BV and Pangea Emirates Ltd stated as Related parties, as described in note 25. The use of proceeds of the project finance is expected to settle part of this debt.

b) Floating Transfer Stations (“FTS”)

In June 2017, the Company completed the sale of one of its Floating Transfer Stations in Philippines in the amount of US$15. In this transaction, Vale recognized a loss of US$55 as “Impairment and other results on non-current assets”.

Parts of the mine, affected by seismic activity, for which repairs would be uneconomical, are not expected to resume operations in the future, was derecognized from property, plant and equipment. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of US$133 in the income statement as “Impairment and other results on non-current assets”. As other parts of the mine are subject to resume operation in the future, a net book value in the amount of US$232 remains as part of the cost of the mine.

At June 30, 2017 the carrying value of the designated debts are US$6,668 and EUR750. The foreign exchange losses of US$392 and US$128 (US$258 and US$84, net taxes), was recognized in the “Cumulative translation adjustments” in stockholders’ equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. This hedge was highly effective throughout the period ended on June 30, 2017.

Accounting policy

Foreign currency differences arising on the translation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective and regardless of whether the net investment is held directly or through an intermediate parent.

The hedging instrument is accounted for in the same way as a cash flow hedge, i.e. translated at the closing rate with the gain or loss on the effective hedge being recognized in equity. Gains or losses in the reserves will only be realized when the foreign operation is disposed of.

17. Liabilities related to associates and joint ventures

Refers to the provision to comply with the obligations under the agreement related to the dam failure of Samarco Mineração S.A. (“Samarco”), which is a Brazilian joint venture between Vale S.A. and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda. (“BHPB”), as follows:

a) Framework agreement

On November 5, 2015, Samarco experienced the failure of an iron ore tailings dam (“Fundão”) in the state of Minas Gerais.

Samarco and its shareholders, Vale S.A. and BHPB, entered into an Agreement (“Framework Agreement”) on March 2, 2016 with the Brazilian federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the failure (Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais) and other governmental authorities in order to implement the programs for remediation and compensation of the areas and communities affected by Samarco’s dam failure.

The Framework Agreement does not contemplate admission of civil, criminal or administrative liability for the Fundão dam failure.

The Framework Agreement has a 15-year term, renewable for successive one-year periods until all the obligations under the Framework Agreement have been performed.

On June 24, 2016, the Renova Foundation (“Foundation”) was established, under the Framework Agreement, to develop and implement the socio-economic restoration and compensation programs. The Foundation began its operations in August of 2016.

To the extent that Samarco does not meet its funding obligations to the foundation, each of Vale S.A. and BHPB will provide, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, funds to the Foundation in proportion to its 50% equity interest in Samarco.

As the consequence of the dam failure, governmental authorities ordered the suspension of Samarco’s operations.

Table of Contents

b) Estimates used for the provision

In light of the uncertainties related to the Samarco’s future cash flow, Vale S.A. recognized a provision on its interim financial statements as of June 30, 2016, for estimated costs in the amount of US$1,163 (R$3,733) provision, which represents Vale S.A.’s best estimate of the obligation to comply with the reparation and compensation programs under the Framework Agreement, equivalent to its 50% equity interest in Samarco.

In August 2016 and January 2017, Samarco issued non-convertible private debentures, which were subscribed equally by Vale S.A., and BHPB, being the resources contributed by Vale S.A., in the first semester of 2017, allocated as follows:

(i) US$71 (R$224), being US$11 (R$37) in the second quarter of 2017, used in the reparation programs in accordance with the Framework Agreement, and therefore, applied against the provision mentioned above;

(ii) US$92 (R$292), being US$31 (R$101) in the second quarter of 2017, applied by Samarco to fund its working capital, and recognized in Vale´s income statement as “Impairment and other results in associates and joint ventures”.

Vale S.A intends to provide short term credit line of up to US$76 (R$251) to support Samarco operations in the second half of 2017, without undertaking an obligation to Samarco. Funds for working capital requirements will be released as needed by the shareholders subject to achieving certain milestone, on the same basis.

As a result of the establishment of the Foundation, most of the reparation and compensation programs were transferred from Samarco. Therefore, Vale S.A. made contributions to the Foundation totaling US$68 (R$217) in 2017, being US$45 (R$142) in the second quarter of 2017, to be used in the programs in accordance with the Framework Agreement.

As a result of the above mentioned, the movements of the provision in the three and six month periods ended in June 30, 2017 are as follows:

	2017
Balance at March 31,	1,071
Payments	(56	)
Interests	43
Translation adjustment	(39	)
Balance at June 30,	1,019

	2017
Balance at January 1st,	1,077
Payments	(139	)
Interests	90
Translation adjustment	(9	)
Balance at June 30,	1,019

Current liabilities	295
Non-current liabilities	724
Liabilities	1,019

At each reporting period, Vale S.A. will reassess the key assumptions used by Samarco in the preparation of the projected future cash flows and will adjust the provision, if required.

c) Contingencies related to Samarco accident

(i) Public civil lawsuit filed by the Federal Government and others

The federal government, the two Brazilian states affected by the failure (Espirito Santo and Minas Gerais) and other governmental authorities have initiated a public civil lawsuit against Samarco and its shareholders, Vale S.A. and BHPB, with an estimated value indicated by the plaintiffs of US$6.1 billion (R$20.2 billion).

On May 5, 2016, the Framework Agreement, which was signed on March 2, 2016, was ratified by the Federal Regional Court (“TRF”), 1st Region. In June 2016 the Superior Court of Justice (“STJ”) in Brazil issued an interim order, suspending the decision of TRF, which ratified the Framework Agreement until the final judgments of the claim.

Table of Contents

On August 17, 2016, the TRF of the 1st Region rejected the appeal presented by Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB against the interim order, and overruled the judicial decision that ratified the Framework Agreement. This decision of the TRF of the 1st Region, among other measures, confirmed a prior injunction that prohibited the defendants from transferring or conveying any of their interest in its Brazilian iron ore concessions, without, however, limiting their production and commercial activities and ordered a deposit with the court of US$363 (R$1.2 billion) by January 2017. This US$363 (R$1.2 billion) cash deposit was provisionally replaced by the guarantees provided for under the agreements with MPF, as detailed in the item (ii) below.

(ii) Public civil lawsuit filed by Federal Prosecution Office

On May 3, 2016, the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) filed a public civil lawsuit against Samarco and its shareholders and presented several demands, including: (i) the adoption of measures for mitigating the social, economic and environmental impacts resulting from the Fundão dam failure and other emergency measures; (ii) the payment of compensation to the community; and (iii) payments for the collective moral damage. The estimated action value indicated by the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) is US$47 billion (R$155 billion). The first conciliatory hearing was held on September 13, 2016. On November 21, 2016, the court ordered that the defendants be served, and the defendants submitted their defense.

In January 2017 Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB entered into two preliminary agreements with the Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Brazil (MPF).

The first agreement (“First Agreement”) aims to outline the process and timeline for negotiations of a Final Agreement (“Final Agreement”), initially expected to occur by June 30th, 2017 and now expected to occur by October 30, 2017. This First Agreement establishes a timeline and actions to set the ground for conciliation of two public civil lawsuits which aim to establish socio-economic and socio-environmental remediation and compensation programs for the impacts of the Fundão dam failure, respectively: claim nº 023863-07.2016.4.01.3800, filed by the Federal Prosecutors, as mentioned in this item, and claim nº 0069758-61.2015.4.01.3400, filed by the Federal Government, the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo and other governmental authorities, as mentioned in the item (i) above. Both claims were filed with the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte and are suspended as requested by the parties.

In addition, the First Agreement provides for: (i) the appointment of experts to give support the Federal Prosecutors and paid for by the companies to conduct a diagnosis and monitor the progress of the 41 programs under the Framework Agreement signed on March 2nd, 2016 by the companies and the Federal Government and the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo and other governmental authorities and (ii) holding at least eleven public hearings, five of which are to be held in Minas Gerais, three in Espírito Santo and the remainder in the indigenous territories of the Krenak, Comboios and Caieiras Velhas, in order to allow these communities to take part in the definition of the content of the Final Agreement.

Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB has agreed to provide the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte with a guarantee for fulfillment of the obligations regarding the financing and payment of the socio-environmental and socio-economic remediation programs resulting from the Fundão dam failure, pursuant to the two public civil actions, until the signing of the Final Agreement, amounting to US$665 (R$2.2 billion), of which (i) US$30 (R$100) in financial investments; (ii) US$393 (R$1.3 billion) in insurance bonds; and (iii) US$242 (R$800) in assets of Samarco. In order to implement the First Agreement, it has been requested that the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte accept such guarantees until the completion of the negotiations and the signing of the Final Agreement, or until October 30, 2017, whichever comes first; or until the parties reach a new agreement regarding the guarantees. If, by October 30th, the negotiations have not been completed, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office may require that the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte re-institute the order for the deposit of US$363 (R$1.2 billion) in relation to the US$6.1 billion (R$20.2 billion) public civil action, which is currently suspended. The parties requested the partially ratification of the First Agreement, excluding only the engagement of the socio-economic expert condition.

On March 16, 2017, the 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte partially ratified the First Agreement, being that this decision includes: (i) ratification of the engagement of experts to perform a socio-environmental impact assessment and assessment of programs under the Framework Agreement signed on March 2nd, 2016 and a period for the companies to engage an expert to perform the socio-economic impact assessment; (ii) the consolidation and suspension of related claims aiming to avoid contradictory or conflicting decisions and to establish a unified judicial procedure in order for the parties to be able to reach a final agreement; (iii) accepted the guarantees proposed by Samarco and its shareholders under the Preliminary Agreement on a temporary basis. Parties are still negotiating an agreement regarding the choice of the expert to perform the socio-economic impact assessment.

In addition, the Second Agreement (Second Agreement) was signed, which establishes a timetable to make funds available to remediate the social, economic and environmental damages caused by the Fundão dam failure in the municipalities of Barra Longa, Rio Doce, Santa Cruz do Escalvado and Ponte Nova, amounting to US$60 (R$200). The 12th Judicial Federal Court of Belo Horizonte ratified this Second Agreement.

(iii) U.S. Securities class action suits

Related to the Vale´s American Depositary Receipts

On May 2, 2016, Vale S.A. and certain of its officers were named as defendants in securities class action suits in the Federal Court in New York brought by holders of Vale’s American Depositary Receipts under U.S. federal securities laws. The lawsuits allege that Vale S.A. made false and misleading statements or did not make disclosures concerning the risks and dangers of the operations of Samarco’s Fundão dam and the adequacy of related programs and procedures. The plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages or indemnities in these actions.

In July 2016, Vale S.A. and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint.

On March 23, 2017 the judge issued a decision rejecting a significant portion of the claims against Vale S.A. and the individual defendants, and determining the prosecution of the action with respect to more limited claims. The portion of plaintiffs’ case that remains is related to certain statements about procedures, policies and risk mitigation plans contained in Vale S.A.’s sustainability reports in 2013 and 2014, and certain statements regarding to the responsibility of Vale S.A. for the Fundão dam failure made in a conference call in November 2015.

Vale S.A. continues to contest the lawsuit and the outstanding points.

Related to the Samarco bonds

In March 2017, holders of bonds issued by Samarco, filed a class action suit in the Federal Court in New York against Samarco, Vale S.A. and BHPB under U.S. federal securities laws demanding for indemnification for alleged violation of U.S. federal securities laws. The plaintiffs allege that false and misleading statements were made or disclosures omitted concerning the risks and dangers of the operations of Samarco’s Fundão dam and the adequacy of related programs and procedures.

It is alleged that with the Fundão dam collapse, the securities have dramatically decreased, in order that the investors who have purchased such securities in a misleading way should be compensated, without, however, specifying an amount for the alleged damages or indemnities in this action.

In June 2017, Vale S.A. and the other defendants have jointly filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint.

Vale S.A. continues to contest this lawsuit.

(iv) Criminal lawsuit

On October 20, 2016, the MPF brought a criminal lawsuit in the Brazilian Federal Justice Court against Vale S.A., BHPB, Samarco, VogBr Recursos Hídricos e Geotecnia Ltda. and 22 individuals for alleged crimes against the environment, urban planning and cultural heritage, flooding, landslide, as well as for alleged crimes against the victims of the Fundão dam failure.

On November 16, 2016, the judge received the Federal Prosecutors Office criminal lawsuit and determined the summons of all defendants, granting 30 days each to file their defenses, to count from the day they receive the summon. Vale has already been served and its defense was presented in March 3, 2017.

On May 8th, 2017, Vale presented its manifestation against the Federal Prosecutors Office dismemberment requests and on June 6th, 2017, the Federal Prosecutors Office presented its reply to the defenses, where it requested for the action to be regularly processed.

Currently, the case awaits the judge’s decision.

(v) Other lawsuits

In addition, Samarco and its shareholders were named as a defendant in several other lawsuits brought by individuals, corporations, governmental entities or public prosecutor seeking personal and property damages.

These lawsuits and petitions are at early stages, so it is not possible to determine a range of outcomes or reliable estimates of the potential exposure at this time. No contingent liability has been quantified and no provision was recognized for lawsuits related to Samarco´s dam failure.

In June 2017, the Company recognized in the financial results, the amount of US$63 and US$(3) related to the measurement of the fair value and US$(6) and US$9 related to cumulative translation adjustment of derivative financial instruments assets and liabilities classified as level 3, respectively.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, or between Level 2 and Level 3 in the period ended June 30, 2017.

Methods and techniques of evaluation

i) Derivative financial instruments

Financial instruments are evaluated by calculating their present value through the use of instrument yield curves at the closing dates. The curves and prices used in the calculation for each group of instruments are detailed in the “market curves”.

Table of Contents

The pricing method used for European options is the Black & Scholes model. In this model, the fair value of the derivative is a function of the volatility in the price of the underlying asset, the exercise price of the option, the interest rate and period to maturity. In the case of options which income is a function of the average price of the underlying asset over the period of the option, the Company uses Turnbull & Wakeman model. In this model, in addition to the factors that influence the option price in the Black-Scholes model, the formation period of the average price is also considered.

In the case of swaps, both the present value of the assets and liability are estimated by discounting the cash flow by the interest rate of the currency in which the swap is denominated. The difference between the present value of assets and liability of the swap generates its fair value.

For the TJLP swaps, the calculation of the fair value assumes that TJLP is constant, that is the projections of future cash flow in Brazilian Reais are made on the basis of the last TJLP disclosed.

Contracts for the purchase or sale of products, inputs and costs of selling with future settlement are priced using the forward yield curves for each product. Typically, these curves are obtained on the stock exchanges where the products are traded, such as the London Metals Exchange (“LME”), the Commodity Exchange (“COMEX”) or other providers of market prices. When there is no price for the desired maturity, Vale uses an interpolation between the available maturities.

b) Fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value

The fair values and carrying amounts of loans and borrowings (net of interest) are as follows:

Financial liabilities	Balance	Fair value	Level 1	Level 2
June 30, 2017
Debt principal	27,273	27,299	15,298	12,001

December 31, 2016
Debt principal	28,691	27,375	13,874	13,501

Due to the short-term cycle, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents balances, financial investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their book values.

The risk of the derivatives portfolio is measured using the delta-Normal parametric approach, and considers that the future distribution of the risk factors and its correlations tends to present the same statistical properties verified in the historical data. The value at risk estimate considers a 95% confidence level for a one-business day time horizon.

There was no cash amount deposited as margin call regarding derivative positions on June 30, 2017. The derivative positions described in this document did not have initial costs associated.

The following tables detail the derivatives positions for Vale and its controlled companies as of June 30, 2017, with the following information: notional amount, fair value including credit risk, gains or losses in the period, value at risk and the fair value breakdown by year of maturity.

a) Foreign exchange and interest rates derivative positions

(i) Derivative instruments for the R$ denominated debt instruments

In order to reduce cash flow volatility, swap transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain debt instruments denominated in R$ with interest rates linked mainly to CDI, TJLP and IPCA. In those swaps, Vale pays fixed or floating rates in US$ and receives payments in R$ linked to the interest rates of the protected debt instruments.

The swap transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected items are the cash flows from debt instruments linked to R$. These programs transform into US$ the obligations linked to R$ to achieve a currency offset in the Company’s cash flows, by matching its receivables - mainly linked to US$ - with its payables.

(ii) Derivative instruments for EUR denominated debt instruments

In order to reduce the cash flow volatility, swap and forward transactions were implemented to convert into US$ the cash flows from certain debt instruments issued in Euros by Vale. In those swaps, Vale receives fixed rates in EUR and pays fixed rates in US$. In those forwards only the principal amount of the debt is converted from EUR to US$.

b) Commodities derivative positions

(i) Bunker Oil purchase cash flows derivatives

In order to reduce the impact of bunker oil price fluctuation on maritime freight hiring/supply and, consequently, reducing the company’s cash flow volatility, bunker oil derivatives were implemented. These transactions are usually executed through forward purchases and zero cost-collars.

The derivative transactions were negotiated over-the-counter and the protected item is part of the Vale’s costs linked to bunker oil prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains due to bunker oil prices changes.

(ii) Derivative instruments for base metals raw materials and products

Derivative instruments for nickel sales at fixed prices, derivatives transactions were implemented to convert into floating prices the contracts with clients that required a fixed price, in order to keep nickel revenues exposed to nickel price fluctuations. Those operations are usually implemented through the purchase of nickel forwards.

In the operational protection program for the purchase of raw materials and products, derivatives transactions were implemented, usually through the sale of nickel and copper forward or futures, in order to reduce the mismatch between the pricing period of purchases (concentrate, cathode, sinter, scrap and others) and the pricing period of the final product sales to the clients.

The derivative transactions are negotiated at London Metal Exchange or over-the-counter and the protected item is part of Vale’s revenues and costs linked to nickel and copper prices. The financial settlement inflows/outflows are offset by the protected items’ losses/gains due to nickel and copper prices changes.

b) Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities of administrative and judicial claims, with expectation of loss classified as possible, and for which the recognition of a provision is not considered necessary by the Company, based on legal advice are as follows:

	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Tax litigation	8,480	7,636
Civil litigation	2,349	1,502
Labor litigation	2,194	2,418
Environmental litigation	1,945	1,871
Total	14,968	13,427

i - Tax litigation - Our most significant tax-related contingent liabilities result from disputes related to (i) the deductibility of our payments of social security contributions on the net income (CSLL) from our taxable income, (ii) challenges of certain tax credits we deducted from our PIS and COFINS payments, (iii) assessments of CFEM (royalties), and (iv) charges of value-added tax on services and circulation of goods (ICMS), especially relating to certain tax credits we claimed from the sale and transmission of energy, ICMS charges to anticipate the payment in the entrance of goods to Pará State, ICMS charges on our own transportation costs and challenges to other tax credits we claimed. The changes reported in the period resulted, mainly, from new proceedings related to PIS, COFINS, ICMS, CFEM; interest and inflation adjustments in the amounts in dispute.

ii - Civil litigation - Most of those claims have been filed by suppliers for indemnification under construction contracts, primarily relating to certain alleged damages, payments and contractual penalties. A number of other claims related to contractual disputes regarding inflation index.

iii - Labor litigation - Represents individual claims by employees and service providers, primarily involving demands for additional compensation for overtime work, time spent commuting or health and safety conditions; and the Brazilian federal social security administration (“INSS”) regarding contributions on compensation programs based on profits.

b) New stockholders’ agreement

On February 20, 2017 the Company announced that a new shareholders’ agreement was filed at the Company’s headquarters, executed by Litel Participações S.A., Litela Participações S.A., Bradespar S.A., Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and BNDES Participações S.A. — BNDESPAR, as shareholders of Valepar S.A. (“Valepar”), jointly referred to as “Shareholders”, which entered into force after the expiration of Valepar’s Shareholders’ Agreement on May 10, 2017.

The Valepar Agreement, along with the standard provisions in connection with voting rights and right of first refusal for the acquisition of the Shareholders’ shares, provides for the submission to the Company of a proposal for the purpose of enabling the listing of Vale on B3 S.A. New Market segment (Brazil) and making Vale a company without defined control (“Proposal”).

The transaction envisaged by the Proposal is composed of a series of indivisible and interdependent steps, whose effectiveness is subject to the successful performance of the other steps. The Proposal comprises, beyond the performance of all acts and procedures imposed by the applicable legal provisions and rules:

(i) Voluntary conversion of Vale class A preferred shares into common shares, based on the conversion rate of 0.9342 common shares for each Vale class A preferred share, based on the average closing price of the common shares and preferred shares over the last 30 trading sessions on the B3 S.A. prior to February 17, 2017 (inclusive), weighted by the volume of shares traded in such trading sessions;

(ii) Amendment of Vale’s bylaws, so as to adjust it, as much as possible, to B3 S.A. New Market segment rules so Vale may be effectively listed on such special segment;

(iii) The merger of Valepar into Vale at an exchange ratio that contemplates a 10% increase in the number of shares held by the shareholders of Valepar compared to Valepar’s current shareholding interest, and represents a dilution of approximately 3% of the shareholding interest held by the other shareholders in Vale.

In line with the provisions of item “iii” above, Valepar’s shareholders will receive 1.2065 Vale common shares for each Valepar share held by them. As a result, Vale will issue 173,543,667 new common shares, all registered and without par value, in favor of Valepar’s shareholders. Consequently, Valepar’s shareholders will own a total of 1,908,980,340 Vale common shares after the merger of Valepar.

At the General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, held on June 27, 2017, all resolutions related to the proposal for corporate restructuring of the Company listed above were approved.

Table of Contents

The completion of the Voluntary Conversion and, consequently, of the other stages of the transaction which are the object of the Proposal is now subject to the voluntary conversion by at least 54.09% of class A preferred shares, as mentioned in item “i” above. The conversion period commenced on June 28, 2017 and ends on August 11, 2017, during which the holders may, if they so wish, join the Voluntary Conversion.

On the date of effectiveness of the merger of Valepar into Vale, if the merger is completed, the Shareholders will execute a new shareholders’ agreement (“Vale Agreement”) that will bind only 20% of the totality of Vale’s common shares, and will be in force until November 9, 2020, with no provision for renewal.

For 6 months from the date of entry into force of the Vale Agreement, the Shareholders will be obligated not to transfer, by any means, either directly or indirectly, Vale shares they receive as a result of the implementation of the Proposal (“Lock-Up”), except for (i) the transfer of Vale’s shares by the Shareholders to their affiliates and their current shareholders, provided that such transferred shares shall remain subject to the Lock-Up, and (ii) the transfer of shares held by the Shareholders prior to the merger of Valepar.

c) Remuneration to the Company’s stockholders

In April 2017, the Annual General Meeting approved the payment of shareholder remuneration for the year of 2016, in the amount of R$4,667 (US$1,459). Accordingly, the amount of R$2,065 (US$646) related to the Profit Reserve “Additional Remuneration Reserve”, that was recorded in December 31, 2016, was used to the payment of dividends in the form of interest on shareholders’ equity, in addition to the amount of R$2,602 (US$813), already recorded in the current liabilities.

25. Related parties

Transactions with related parties are made by the Company at arm´s-length, observing the price and usual market conditions and therefore do not generate any undue benefit to their counterparties or loss to the Company. The definition of related party is based on applicable accounting standards and our internal policies, which may be more restrictive than applicable laws and regulations under certain circumstances.

In the normal course of operations, Vale enters into contracts with related parties (associates, joint ventures and stockholders), related to the sale and purchase of products and services, loans, derivatives, leasing of assets, sale of raw material and railway transportation services.

The balances of these related party transactions and their effects on the interim financial statements are as follows.
