How to read the lattice parameters from OUCAR?

Dear All
I am studying the shape change of a periodic bulk. I used ISIF=4 to relax the lattice parameters and atoms. But I cannot find the optimized lattice parameters in the OUTCAR. Where are they?
Thanks in advance.

This is the original k vector:
8.7578563293577330 2.8008546754879930 2.5871064070698000
-0.0353100307414563 10.8792085700608000 4.2255196746916740
-0.0077418069281793 -0.0066927948152752 14.5409620250275400
This is the optimized ones:
8.7478862573396740 2.7911406146470390 2.5880531837502130
-0.0496783590604948 10.8669490757240900 4.2482315004850900

the optimized lattice parameters are eg written in CONTCAR (Bravais Matrix)
in OUTCAR you can find them after the lines
VOLUME and BASIS-vectors are now ....
direct lattice vectors
