MATERIAL FACT

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“GPA”) and Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (“Assaí”), pursuant to article 157 of Law No. 6,404/1976 and CVM Resolution No. 44/2021, hereby inform their shareholders and the market in general, in continuation to the Material Fact disclosed on October 14, 2021, and in connection with the transaction involving the conversion of Extra Hiper stores operated by GPA in cash & carry stores, which will be operated by Assaí (“Transaction”), the Board of Directors of each Company, relying only on the vote of the independent directors, approved the terms and conditions of the agreement of onerous assignment of exploration rights of commercial points between GPA and Assaí (“Assignment Agreement”).

GPA and Assaí signed the Assignment Agreement, which provides for the assignment to Assaí of the exploitation rights of up to seventy (70) commercial points located in several federative units in Brazil, for the total amount of up to BRL3,973,300,000.00 (three billion, nine hundred and seventy-three million and three hundred thousand reais), to be paid by Assaí, in installments, between December 2021 and January 2024.

The closing of the transaction provided in the Assignment Agreement is subject to the fulfillment of certain precedent conditions, including, but not limited to, the prior consent of the property owners and the demobilization of stores by GPA. This transaction is not subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities.

The advance of the Transaction is advancing in line with the initially planned schedule, with a fast advance in the negotiations with the store owners and the demobilization of stores by GPA. Between 20 and 30 Extra Hiper stores are expected to be demobilized by December 31, 2021, most of the other stores by the end of January 2022 and the remainder by the end of February 2022.

In parallel, in the context of the Transaction, the sale of seventeen (17) properties owned by GPA, as already announced, for the total amount of up to BRL 1,200,000,000.00 (one billion, two hundred million reais), to a certain real estate fund (“Fund”) with Assaí as an intervening and guaranteeing party, is in an advanced stage of due diligence with the Fund and will shortly be submitted to the approval of the competent antitrust authority.

The management of GPA and Sendas estimates that the complete closing of the Transaction, considering both the assignment of the commercial points and the sale of the properties, will occur before the end of the first quarter of 2022.

GPA and Assaí will keep the market and its shareholders informed of any other relevant facts related to this matter.
