MATERIAL FACT

Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("Company"), under the terms of article 157 of Law nº 6.404, of December 15, 1976, as amended, and of Brazilian Securities Commission Instruction nº 358, of January 3, 2002, as amended, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that its shareholders, at the extraordinary general meeting held on this date, approved the proposal to split the totality of its common shares (the "Share Split"), as described below:

  1. Share Split.With the approval of the Share Split, each common share issued by the Company will be split into 5 (five) common shares of the same type, without modifying the value of the capital stock.

With the Share Split, the Company's capital stock will remain in the amount of R$786,730,260.87 (seven hundred and eighty-six million, seven hundred and thirty reais and eighty-seven cents), and will be divided into 1,346,499,295 (one billion, three hundred and forty-six million, four hundred and ninety-eight thousand, two hundred and ninety- five) common shares, all nominative, registered and with no par value, and the authorized capital will become 2,000,000,000 (two billion) common shares.

The common shares resulting from the Share Split will fully entitle holders to the same rights and advantages of the currently existing shares, including dividends, interest on equity and bonuses.

The record date at B3 will be August 11, 2021, and the shares will be traded ex-split at B3 as of August 12, 2021, inclusive.

The credit of the shares resulting from the split will be automatically made in the account of the shareholders on August 16, 2021 by the registrar agent of the Company, Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. It will not be necessary for holders of common shares on the record date to take any action to receive the additional common shares.

  1. American Depositary Shares.As a result of the Share Split, there will be no change in the number of the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), but only a change in the ratio of the Company's ADSs to common shares, from 1 (one) ADS representing 1 (one) common share of the Company to 1 (one) ADS representing 5 (five) common shares of the Company (the "ADS Ratio Change"). Because the underlying Share Split and ADS Ratio Change will not impact the number of ADSs held, no new ADSs will be issued or distributed.

The Company will file a post-effective amendment to the ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 ("Form F-6"), containing the form of amended American Depositary Receipt, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to reflect the ADS Ratio Change. The Company anticipates that the ADS Ratio Change will be effective on or about August 17, 2021. It will not be necessary for holders of ADSs to take any action for the ADS Ratio Change to occur. The ADS Ratio Change will occur automatically, and existing ADSs will continue to be valid and will not have to be exchanged for new ADSs.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as ADS Depositary, will suspend the issuance and cancellation of ADSs from the close of business on August 13, 2021 until the open of business on August 20, 2021. This means that during this time, holders of ADSs will not be able to surrender their ADSs and receive underlying common shares, and holders of common shares will not be able to deposit their common shares and receive ADSs. However, the closing of the issuance and cancellation books does not impact trading, and holders of ADSs may continue to trade their ADSs during this period.

  1. Purpose.The purpose of the Share Split is to increase the liquidity of the Company's common shares on the B3, considering that a larger number of outstanding common shares potentially generates an increase in business, as well as to enable an adjustment in the Company's stock price, making the price per common share more attractive and accessible to a larger number of investors.
