MATERIAL FACT

 

Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (“Company” or “Assaí Atacadista” or “Assaí”), pursuant to Law No. 6,404, dated December 15, 1976, as amended, and the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) Resolution No. 44, dated August 23, 2021, as amended, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that the Company’s Board of Directors, at a meeting held on this date, approved the appointment of Mr. Vitor Fagá de Almeida for the position of Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations, in light of of Mrs. Daniela Sabbag’s exit on this date. Mrs. Gabrielle Helú remains in the position of Investor Relations Director, but ceases to be statutory.

 

Mr. Vitor Fagá de Almeida is a professional with a distinguished leadership trajectory, with extensive experience in financial management, having held positions as CEO and CFO. In his latest role as CEO of Sam's Club Brasil, he stood out for developing an innovative expansion and digitalization plan. Previously, Vitor held several CFO positions, mostly in publicly traded companies, including GPA and Via Varejo/Casas Bahia. He has also worked as a strategy consultant at The Boston Consulting Group. Vitor holds a degree in Economics from Unicamp and a Sloan Master's in Strategy and Leadership from the London Business School.

 

The Company is confident that Vitor's arrival will further strengthen Assaí’s executive capability, contributing to the continuous growth and consolidation of our leadership in the Brazilian cash and carry market.

 

Assaí Atacadista expresses its deep gratitude to Mrs. Daniela Sabbag for the commitment demonstrated during over 20 years of dedication to the Company's business. As Chief Financial Administrative Officer of Assaí since 2019, Daniela played a crucial role, coordinating the spin-off and transformation process of Assaí into a Corporation, and significantly contributing to the growth and success of the company. We thank Daniela for her invaluable contribution and wish her success in her future endeavors.
