Reference: Request for Clarifications – OFFICIAL LETTER/CVM/SEP/GEA-1/Nº301/2014

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (“Itaú Unibanco” or “Company”) in response to the Official Letter from the Corporate Relations Coordination of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM and in light of the report published on May 22, 2014 by the Valor Econômico newspaper headlined “STJ gives victory to savers in economic plan ruling”, clarifies that the risk related to the rulings on legal actions with respect to the Economic Plans was already known, the Company having always reported the risk in the item Risk Factors, sub-item 4.6 of its Reference Form.

The decision announced by the High Court of Justice (STJ) on May 21, 2014 reflected an auxiliary discussion on the issue of the economic plans and in no way changes our evaluation of risk in relation to the understanding of the discussion surrounding the constitutionality of said economic plans – due to take place in the Federal Supreme Court.

Said decision of the STJ does not come within the scope of Article 2 of ICVM 358/02 and given that said decision is of an auxiliary nature and not central to the issue, it does not in itself have any financial impacts for the Company, therefore, not affecting its Financial Statements.

Regards,


ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING S.A.
