Notice from Ambev and CADE about a settlement

The Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE) and Ambev reached a judicial settlement to definitely close the lawsuit relating to the decision issued by CADE in the Administrative Proceeding n. 08012.003805/2004-10, in which Ambev was fined for violating the antitrust legislation with the adoption of its “Tô Contigo” program.

With this settlement, Ambev agreed to pay a fine in the amount of R$229,140,719.00 (two hundred and twenty-nine million, one hundred and forty thousand, seven hundred and nineteen reais).

The final amount agreed upon the parties is the result of the correction of some mistakes in the original decision, as well as an approximate 20% discount granted by CADE.  The discount is in line with CADE precedents and arises from both the likelihood of success of the lawsuit and the potential negative impacts of the lengthy procedural pace of a case that started more than a decade ago and was ruled by CADE around six years ago.  The “Tô Contigo” program has already been discontinued by Ambev.

With this notice, Ambev fulfills its obligation to make the decision public as established by CADE’s original decision as well as the judicial settlement.

The judicial settlement, which terms and conditions were agreed upon between the parties, was duly approved by CADE’s Tribunal. As a consequence, all the lawsuits, enforcements, appeals and procedural incidents (e.g., court attachments and guarantees) relating to CADE’s final decision in the Administrative Proceeding n. 08012.003805/2004-10 will be settled, putting an end to a controversy that was initiated in 2009 and would probably last for more than a decade.
