    Notice to the Market Global Trading System


    BM&FBOVESPA implemented a new functionality in its Global Trading System (GTS), i.e., the price tunnel system, which is aimed at reducing the operating risk of brokerage firms and clients in connection with auction-traded contracts. The system will automatically stop bids spanning too far from the last traded price or the average market price, thereby mitigating fat finger risks. As a result of the recently implemented functionality, the GTS system presented problems soon after market opened, for which reason the session was halted for approximately one hour. These problems, which were related to the configuration of the GTS system, were sorted out, and trading resumed by 10:40 a.m. During the period, trading on the open outcry session was not halted.
