NOTICE TO THE MARKET
Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional ("Company"), pursuant to article 21-A, paragraph 6, of CVM Instruction 481/2009, as amended, informs its shareholders and Remote Voting Form issued on May 29, 2018 related to the matters of the Annual Shareholders' Meeting to be held on June 29, 2018 (“Remote Voting Form”).
The change in the Remote Voting Form was due to a misclassification in resolution 04 - " Election of 1 (one) effective candidate and its respective alternate to the Fiscal Council, if installed, as indicated by minority shareholders." in the system of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa Balcão ("B3"), which could affect the shareholder's vote in said matter. Therefore, it was necessary to adjust the Remote Voting Form to the draft automatically generated by B3, without changing the content of the resolutions to be voted.
The Company clarifies: (i) that the votes already granted to the amended resolution will be considered invalid; (ii) the Remote Voting form received by the Company until June 22, 2018 (inclusive) and other instructions related to distance voting may be verified in the Remote Voting Form provided by the Company; and (iii) in order to avoid that the voting instruction can be considered conflicting, it is recommended that the shareholder refer its possible new instruction to the same previously used service provider.
São Paulo, June 05, 2018.
