MATERIAL FACT
Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (“Assaí”
or “Company”), in continuation to the Material Fact disclosed today, regarding Ronaldo Iabrudi’s resignation as of October
28, 2022, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general as follows:
In view of Ronaldo Iabrudi's withdrawal, the
Company's Board of Directors will have Philippe Alarcon as Vice-President.
Also, as part of the process, Belmiro Gomes,
in addition to his role as CEO of Assaí, he will become a member of the Company's Board of Directors, bringing to this collegiate
all his business vision.
According to Jean-Charles Naouri, Chairman and
CEO of the Casino Group:
"I am grateful to Ronaldo for his dedication
to the Company over more than 10 years. Among his contributions I highlight his participation in the construction of Assaí's successful
journey, from the very beginning of operations in the increasingly competitive Brazilian cash & carry market, whose growth history
was enhanced by the Company's spin-off as an independent company, by the acquisition and subsequent conversion of hypermarket stores,
and by the implementation of high governance standards and sustainability policies. We will start a new phase, counting on the experience
acquired by Ronaldo throughout all this time, now as a Strategic Consultant, sure of the value that this relationship will continue to
bring to everyone.”
Also according to Jean-Charles Naouri, Chairman
and CEO of the Casino Group:
"Philippe has a long experience of 40
years in the Casino Group. Approximately 5 years ago he led the launch of a model of small wholesale stores from 500 m2 to
2,000 m2 in Africa, in a mixed development of direct operation and franchise, and for more than 10 years he has been supporting
our operations in Brazil and Latin America following, in particular, the development of Assaí. He has recently been serving as
a Member of the Board of Directors and several Advisory Committees of the Company. I am fully confident that Philippe brings together
the experience and talent required for the role of Vice-Chairman, especially in this new phase of Assaí's challenging and promising
growth.”
According to the new Vice President of the Board
of Directors, Philippe Alarcon, in the name of Jean-Charles Naouri, Chairman and CEO of the Casino Group:
“The success of the Assaí brand
and its strong growth in recent years would not have been possible without the commitment of Belmiro Gomes and the rest of the Company's
Board of Directors. We at Casino Group have supported Belmiro's strategy for a decade, confident of his leadership and the role he plays
not only in the Company, but in the Brazilian cash&carry segment. His appointment as a Member of Assaí’s
Board of Directors is, therefore, a natural step in this journey. We are sure that his expertise and business vision will further enrich
the debates held by the Board of Directors.”
We reiterate to Ronaldo our acknowledgement and
sincere wishes for happiness in this new phase of his life, as well as our votes of confidence and success to Philippe and Belmiro in
the performance of their new role.
