Extraordinary General Meeting

I. Analysis of the Board of Directors’ Reverse Stock Split proposal, as detailed below:

a) Reverse Split Factor = 125:1, i.e., each one hundred twenty five (125) common shares will correspond to one (01) common share after the reverse split;

b) Term for adjustment of the shareholding position = From May 3, 2007 up to June 1, 2007, shareholders, may, at their own discretion, by means of acquisition or sale, adjust their shareholding positions in multiple trenches of one hundred twenty-five (125) common shares, so that their shares do not generate fractions after the reverse split process;

c) Trading in Stock Exchange: As from June 4, 2007, the shares issued by Sabesp will start to be traded as grouped and quoted in Reais per share;

d) After the termination of the term for adjustment of the shareholding position, the eventual fractions resulting from the reverse split process shall be separated, grouped in whole numbers and sold in auction. The amounts resulting from the disposal shall be proportionally made available to the owners of these fractions;

e) Due to the reverse split factor to be used, the amount of common shares representing the Company’s capital stock will decrease from twenty-eight billion, four hundred seventy-nine million, five hundred seventy-seven thousand, eight hundred twenty-seven (28,479,577,827) to two hundred twenty-seven million, eight hundred thirty-six thousand, six hundred twenty-three (227,836,623) common shares. The fraction resulting from this division has been rounded off up, in order to prevent any loss to the Company’s shareholders, which, in the event of round off down, could be impaired at the moment of the composition of the fractions and/or in the repayment amount due as a result of the reverse split;

f) Adjustment in the ratio change of the American Depositary ReceiptADR’s ratio change, at the ratio of 250:2, i.e., each ADR will correspond to 2 shares after the reverse spilt.

II. Amendment of the Bylaws: article 2, pursuant to Federal Law 11,445/07, article 5, resulting from the aforementioned resolution, and article 28, company’s organizational adequacy:
