Announcement to the Market


Standardization of Trading Symbols - ITUB


As from May 2009, the New York Stock Exchange has authorized listed companies to use four letters in their trading symbols (denominated “tickers”). In the light of this decision, Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. decided to standardize the “tickers” on all the stock exchanges where it is listed.
 
This measure facilitates comparability in the three capital markets in which the company’s securities are negotiated and better reflects the merger between Itaú and Unibanco.
 
Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. therefore announces to the market that all trading symbols are to be changed simultaneously on all stock exchanges on which the company’s securities are negotiated, as follows:
 
 
Up to May 19
(inclusive)
As from May 20
