FATO RELEVANTE
O valor da OPA, considerando a totalidade das ações do Éxito, é de US$1.175 milhões, equivalente a
US$0,9053 por ação, sendo US$156 milhões (correspondente a R$790 milhões nesta data) referente à
participação do GPA. O preço por ação será reduzido pelo montante equivalente a qualquer distribuição
extraordinária de dividendos ou qualquer outra distribuição, pagamento, transferência de ativos ou
transação similar feita pelo Éxito, exceto pelos dividendos ordinários, entre a data do Pré-Acordo e a
data em que os documentos da OPA sejam protocolados perante a Superintendência Financeira da
Colômbia (“SFC”). O preço por ação será pago pelo Comprador em dinheiro.
A realização da OPA está sujeita à aprovação da SFC e aos arquivamentos necessários perante a U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. O GPA estima que a liquidação da OPA deve ocorrer por volta
do fim do ano.
Esse é mais um avanço relevante do plano de redução da alavancagem financeira da Companhia, por
meio da venda de ativos não core. Dentro deste contexto, a Companhia concluiu neste ano a venda dos
seguintes ativos: (i) 11 lojas, por meio de sale and leaseback, totalizando R$330 milhões, tendo
recebido R$140 milhões no segundo trimestre e R$190 milhões no terceiro trimestre; (ii) terreno situado
na Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, no valor de R$247 milhões recebido no recebido no terceiro
trimestre; e (iii) outros ativos não core totalizando R$52 milhões recebido no terceiro trimestre. A
Companhia segue em negociação para a venda de outros ativos não core.
O GPA manterá o mercado e seus acionistas informados sobre a existência de quaisquer novos fatos
relevantes relacionados a estes temas.

MATERIAL FACT
The value of the TO, considering all shares of Éxito, is of US$1,175 million, equivalent to US$0.9053
per share, of which US$156 million (corresponding to R$790 million on this date) corresponds to
GPA’s equity interest. The price per share will be reduced by any extraordinary distribution of dividends
or any other distribution, payment, transfer of assets or similar transaction made by Éxito, except for
the ordinary dividends, between the date of the Pre-Agreement and the date that the TO documents are
filed with the Financial Superintendency of Colombia (“SFC”). The price per share will be paid by the
Buyer in cash.
The launching of the TO is subject to SFC’s approval and the necessary filings before the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. GPA believes that the settlement of the TO should occur around year end.
This is another relevant advance of the plan to reduce the financial leverage of the Company through
the sale of non-core assets. Within this context, the Company concluded this year the sale of the
following assets: (i) 11 stores in a sale and leaseback transaction, totaling R$330 million, of which
R$140 million was received in the second quarter and R$190 million in the third quarter; (ii) land
located in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, in the amount of R$247 million received in the third quarter;
and (iii) other non-core assets totaling R$52 million received in the third quarter. The Company
continues to negotiate the sale of other non-core assets.
GPA will keep the market and its shareholders informed of any new material facts related to these
matters.
