The Capital Increase will improve our capital structure, while maintaining our commitment for cash generation, enabling us to continue investing in our powerful digital platform and accelerating the growth through a differentiated ecosystem, including LET`S (Flexible Fulfillment Platform), Ame (Mobile Business Platform), and initiatives such as O2O (Online to Offline) and Digital Services, as detailed in presentation also made available to Messrs.

6. Preemptive Right.Subject to the procedures set forth by Itaú Unibanco S.A., which is the bookkeeping agent of the shares issued by the Company, and by B3, the shareholders will be entitled to exercise their preemptive right for the subscription of the newly issued shares, in the proportion of their equity interest in corporate capital of the Company on August 22, 2019.

The shareholder who holds 1 share issued by the Company on August 22, 2019 will be entitled to subscribe 0.140094476984 (14.0094476984%) share issued by the Company as a result of the Capital Increase. The preemptive right shall be exercised as from August 23, 2019, included, up to September 21, 2019, included. The shares acquired as of August 23, 2019 (included) will not be entitled the preemptive right to the acquiring shareholder, being traded ex-subscription right.

  1. Potential Dilution: The percentage of dilution for the shareholders that, during the exercise period of the preemptive right in the context of the Capital Increase, do not subscribe any shares to which they would be entitled, will be of 12.28797085%.
  2. Assignment of the Subscription Right.The preemptive right for the subscription of the newly issued shares may be negotiated and freely assigned at the shareholders' discretion, pursuant to article 171, paragraph 6 of the Brazilian Corporation's Law. Thus, the shareholders who intend to negotiate their subscription rights may do so during the exercise period of the preemptive right, with enough advance so that the assigned subscription rights can be exercised within the relevant period.

The shareholders who own shares issued by the Company whose records are kept by Itaú Unibanco S.A. and intend to privately assign their preemptive rights for the subscription, shall request to Itaú Unibanco S.A. the issuance of the relevant assignment bulletin, available in any of the Itaú Unibanco S.A.'s branches, upon the presentation of the documents listed in item 12 below.

The shareholders whose shares are deposited in B3's Depository Central and intend to negotiate its subscription rights shall contact their custodian agents.

Lojas Americanas S.A. ("LASA"), controlling shareholder of the Company, undertook to exercise its preemptive rights for the subscription of new shares, in the proportion of its equity interest in the corporate capital of the Company, as well as to subscribe up to the totality of the potential balance of unsubscribed shares in the context of the Capital Increase, without any preemptive right over the other shareholders and subscribers of the Capital Increase who are interested in the subscription of the unsubscribed shares.

9. Proceedings for the Exercise of the Preemptive Right. The holders of subscription rights whose records are kept by Itaú Unibanco S.A., who intend to exercise their preemptive rights shall, during the subscription period, come before any of Itaú Unibanco S.A.'s branches, bearing the documents listed in item 12. In this event, they shall fill and execute the specific subscription bulletin and pay the full issuance price of the subscribed shares, at sight, in Brazilian currency.

The holders of the subscription rights under the custody of B3's Depository Central shall exercise the subscription right, during the subscription period, through their custodian agents and in accordance with the rules set forth by the Depository Central.

10. Proceedings for the Subscription of Unsubscribed Shares. The shareholders or assignees of preemptive rights shall express their interest on the reservation of any potential unsubscribed shares and of additional unsubscribed shares in the relevant subscription bulletin. The shareholders or assignees of preemptive rights that express their interest on the reservation of the unsubscribed shares and of additional unsubscribed shares in the relevant subscription bulletin will have five business days, following the disclosure, by the Company, of the calculation of the unsubscribed shares and of the additional unsubscribed shares with the in the corresponding notice, to subscribe the unsubscribed shares or the additional unsubscribed shares, as the case may be, upon completion and execution of the relevant subscription bulletin, and payment of the full issuance price of the relevant shares, at sight, in Brazilian currency. The remaining unsubscribed shares will be once again calculated and then apportioned among the shareholders that have expressed their interest on the reserve of additional unsubscribed shares in the subscription bulletin.

The percentage for the exercise of the subscription right of the unsubscribed shares shall be obtained through the division of the amount of unsubscribed shares by the total amount of shares subscribed by the subscribers or assignees of preemptive rights that have expressed their interest in the unsubscribed shares within the term of the exercise of the preemptive right, multiplying the result of such division by 100. The same reasoning will apply to the additional unsubscribed shares.

Given that LASA, controlling shareholder of the Company, has undertaken to (in addition to exercise its preemptive right for the subscription of shares in the proportion of its equity interest in the corporate capital of the Company) subscribe all unsubscribed shares, not subscribed by the other shareholders, it is expected that there will be no unsubscribed shares after the apportionments. The Company will disclosed through notice in the IPE Module of Empresas.NET System and other electronic channels used by the Company, the information related to the unsubscribed shares and the additional unsubscribed shares.

11. Branches of Itaú Unibanco S.A.The holders of subscription rights whose records are kept by Itaú Unibanco S.A. may exercise the rights mentioned herein in any Branch of Itaú Unibanco S.A.

    Company's Board of Directors shall meet to confirm the Capital Increase.
