3. MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL

The Company’s Management submits to the Meeting the proposals described below.

I. Adjustment of the value of the capital reduction approved on February 14^th, 2023

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on February 14^th, 2023 (“EGM 02.14.2023”), it was approved the Company’s capital decrease, pursuant to article 173 of the Brazilian Law No. 6,404, of December 15^th, 1976 (“Brazilian Corporate Law”), by Seven Billion, One Hundred and Thirty-Three Million, Four Hundred and Four Thousand, Three Hundred and Seventy-Two Brazilian Reais and Seventy-One cents (R$7,133,404,372.71), by the distribution to the Company’s shareholders, in proportion of its respective share ratio in the Company’s corporate capital, of One Billion, Eighty Million, Five Hundred and Fifty-Six Thousand, Two Hundred and Seventy-Six (1,080,556,276) common stocks issued by Almacenes Éxito S.A. (“Éxito”) owned by the Company, corresponding to approximately Eighty-three percent (83%) of Éxito’s capital stock, which book value on September 30, 2022, base date used for the definition of the value of the capital reduction, corresponded to the capital reduction approved at the EGM 02.14.2023.

The minutes of the EGM 02.14.2023 were duly published in the newspaper “Folha de São Paulo” in the edition of February 15^th, 2023, when it began the sixty (60) days period for the opposition of creditors set forth in article 174 of the Brazilian Corporate Law. The deadline for the creditor to oppose ended on April 16^th, 2023, and as published by GPA in the notice to the market disclosed on April 17, 2023, there was no opposition.

In order to permit the delivery of Éxito’s shares to the shareholders of GPA, in the form of Brazilian Depositary Receipts Level II (“Éxito’s BDRs”) and American Depositary Receipts Level II (“Éxito’s ADRs”), all necessary authorizations of the regulatory entities in Brasil, United States of America and Colombia were obtained, being the last one obtained on August 8^th, 2023.

The credit of the BDRs was made on August 25^th, 2023 and the distribution of ADRs, on August 31^st, 2023.

According to the Material Fact disclosed by the Company on August 8^th, 2023, in order to reflect the evolution of Éxito’s results in the period between the EGM 02.14.23 and the date of conclusion of the capital reduction and implement what was approved at the EGM 02.14.23, the Company informed that would call an extraordinary general meeting to level, after the delivery of Éxito’s BDRs and Éxito’s ADRs to its shareholders, the amount of the reduction in share capital approved at the EGM 02.14.23 to the book value of the participation distributed based on the Company’s balance sheet of July 31, 2023.

Therefore, the Management proposes the approval on the EGM of the adjustment of the capital reduction approved on the EGM 02.14.2023 to a lower value, in order to reflect the accounting value of Éxito distributed to the shareholders of the Company according to the financial statements of the Company of July 31st, 2023, corresponding to six billion, six hundred and fifty nine million, three hundred and one thousand, eight hundred and six reais and sixty centavos (R$  6,659,301,806.60), with the subsequent modification of the wording or article 4^th of the Company’s bylaws.

7 

Therefore, once approved the new value of the capital reduction of the Company, it shall be modified from eight billion, four hundred and sixty six million, four hundred and sixty nine thousand two hundred and sixty two reais and forty three centavos (R$ 8,466,469,262.43) to one billion, eight hundred and seven million, one hundred and sixty seven thousand, four hundred and fifty five reais and eighty three centavos (R$1,807,167,455.83).

It is important to note that this adjustment reflects only a reduction of four hundred and seventy four million, one hundred and two thousand, five hundred and sixty six reais and eleven centavos (R$ 474,102,566.11) on the value of the capital reduction approved in the EGM 02.14.2023, but does not impact the number of Éxito shares to be delivered to the Company’s shareholders or any other terms and conditions of the capital reduction or of the authorizations obtained from the Company’s creditors to such operation, which provided from its beginning for the distribution of approximately 83% of the shares issued by Éxito currently held by GPA to its shareholders, with maintenance of GPA's minority stake in Éxito of approximately 13%, with potential for future monetization.

It is informed in the Schedule I of the present Proposal, in attendance to article 17 of CVM Resolution 81, the information regarding the capital reduction with the modification proposed herein.

II. Improvement of the Company’s corporate object

The Management proposes an improvement to the wording of its corporate purpose and some activities, with the following changes to article 2 and paragraph 1 of the same article of its Bylaws.

In article 2, the Management proposes that are comprised in the general concept of trading of products all activities pertaining to the supermarket sector including, but not limited to, minimarkets, supermarkets and hypermarkets, as well as restaurants, snack bars and other similar food courts within the perimeter of the establishments operated by the Company.

In the 1^st paragraph of the same article, the following modifications are proposed:

· improvement of the wording of item “t”, in order to clarify that the Company does not provide card management services, but only services related to them, as well as to exclude pharmacy cards, as the Company no longer provides services related to such cards after the transaction involving the conversion of “Extra Hiper” stores, carried out in 2022;

· to combine all banking correspondent activities into a single paragraph, with the reallocation of item (k) to item (y), as well as the improvement of this item to provide more detail on the activities that can be carried out by the Company within this context.

8 

Under the terms of CVM Resolution 81, the reason and justification to the modifications to the Company’s bylaws as proposed above, as well as the analysis of its legal and economic effects are detailed in Schedule II of this Proposal and the consolidated bylaws with the proposed modifications are detailed in Schedule III of this Proposal.

Considering moreover that the modifications proposed above do not imply in any modification of the Company’s corporate object, but only in the improvement and/or detail of some of the already existing activities of Company, the withdrawal right set forth in article 137 of the Brazilian Corporate Law shall not be applicable.

III.Modification of comma “o” of article 17 of the Company’s Bylaws, to adjust the limit value of the operations mentioned therein to be approved by the Board of Directors

The Company's Bylaws currently provide that operations related to acquisition, disposal, creation of liens, encumbrance on any assets, including real estate, of the Company or the making of any other investment by the Company must be approved by the Board of Directors when its individual or aggregate amount over a fiscal year that exceeds the amount in Brazilian Reais equal to Twenty Million U.S. dollars (USD 20,000,000.00) or exceeds the amount corresponding to one percent (1%) of the Company’s net equity at the time, as determined in its most recent balance sheet or quarterly financial statement, whichever amount is greater.

Management proposes changing the limit for approval of the matters described above, in order to adapt it to the Company's equity scenario after the segregation of its businesses with those of Éxito. Therefore, it is proposed that the amount for approval of such operations, by the Board of Directors, be calculated on a quarterly basis and considering a higher value, individual or aggregate, in reais equivalent to twenty million U.S. dollars (US$ 20,000,000.00) or greater than the value corresponding to five percent (5%) of the Company’s net equity, as determined in the last consolidated financial statement released by the Company, whichever value is greater.

Under the terms of CVM Resolution 81, the reason and justification to the modifications to the Company’s bylaws as proposed above, as well as the analysis of its legal and economic effects are detailed in Schedule II of this Proposal and the consolidated bylaws with the proposed modifications are detailed in Schedule III of this Proposal.

IV.Consolidation of the By-laws

The Management proposes the approval of the consolidation of the Company’s By-laws, so as to reflect the amendments proposed in items I, II and III above, as per Schedule III of this Proposal.

V. Re-ratification of the Global Compensation Of the Board of Directors and the Board of Officers of the Company for the year 2022

Even though the total annual global value of the management remuneration for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2022 was lower than the value approved at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on April 27, 2022 (“AGM 2022” ), representing a reduction of two million, eight hundred and seventy two thousand, seven hundred and twenty three reais and ninety-nine centavos (R$ 2,872,723.99) in relation to the amount approved by the Company's shareholders at the AGM 2022, there was an increase in the overall remuneration of the Board of Directors and a reduction in the global remuneration of the Board of Officers, due to the termination of contracts and non-payment of variable remuneration resulting from the Company's profit sharing program (PPR).

9 

As the global remuneration approved at the AGM 2022 was divided by each Management body, the Management proposes the re-ratification of the total annual remuneration of the Company's Executive Board and Board of Directors for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022, as follows:

· Board of Officers: from fifty million, one hundred and forty-nine thousand, five hundred and ninety-two reais and forty-five cents (R$50,149,592.45) to thirty-one million, seven hundred and fifty thousand, nine hundred and eighty-eight reais and fifty-nine centavos (R$31,750,988.59);

· Board of Directors: from forty-six million, four hundred and forty-three thousand, four hundred and ninety reais and sixty-seven centavos (R$46,443,490.67) to (sixty-one million, nine hundred and sixty-nine thousand, three hundred and seventy reais and fifty R$61,969,370.54.

4.Corporate Approvals

This proposal was approved by the Company's Board of Directors at meeting held on September September 19, 2023, according to the minutes that are available at the Company's head office and on the Company's website (www.gpari.com.br), Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 (www.b3.com.br).

10 

Schedule I

Information about the Capital Decrease

(according to Exhibit E to CVM Resolution 81)

1. Inform the amount of the decrease and new capital stock:

The capital stock shall be reduced in six billion, six hundred and fifty nine million, three hundred and one thousand, eight hundred and six reais and sixty centavos (R$  6,659,301,806.60), maintaining the same number of shares, being the new capital stock of one billion, eight hundred and seven million, one hundred and sixty seven thousand, four hundred and fifty five reais and eighty three centavos (R$1,807,167,455.83).

2. Explain, in detail, the reasons, the form and the consequences of the decrease:

As disclosed in the Management Proposal dated as of January 9^th, 2023, the Company’s Management conducted studies on the feasibility of segregating the businesses of the Company and Éxito, with the purpose of increasing the market value of the stocks issued by the Company and Éxito separately, in view of the potential value unlock to be captured in an isonomic manner by all the Company’s stockholders.

Thus, the Company’s Management understands that the capital decrease, by means of delivery to the stockholders of common stocks issued by Éxito, is beneficial to its stockholders and to the companies individually.

Since these are shares issued by a foreign issuer, such shares will be distributed (i) to the holders of shares issued by the Company, except as provided below, in the form of Level II sponsored Brazilian Depositary Receipts backed by common shares issued by Éxito ("BDR"), admitted to trading on the B3, and (ii) to shareholders of American Depositary Receipts issued by the Company, in the form of American Depositary Receipts Level II backed by common shares issued by Éxito ("ADR"), admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Since it is not legally and operationally possible to deliver BDRs to shareholders who have their investment registered in the Company as direct investment under the terms of Law 4131, dated September 3, 1962, as amended, such shareholders had the possibility to choose between receiving ADRs or directly common shares issued by Éxito, in the same proportion as the other shareholders, that is, 4 shares issued by Éxito for each Company share.

Thus, holders of common shares issued by the Company received one (1) Éxito BDR for each GPA share, with the credit occurring on August 25, 2023. Holders of GPA ADRs, by its turn, received one (1) Éxito ADR for every 2 GPA ADRs, and the ADRs were distributed on August 31^st, 2023.

Exclusively until October 2^nd, 2023, BDR holders who wish to convert their BDRs into ADRs or shares issued by Éxito, and ADR holders who wish to convert their ADRs into BDRs or shares issued by Éxito, may do so without being charged the cancellation fee or the issuance fee of the BDRs and ADRs, as the case may be, by the respective depositaries.

11 

3. Provide a copy of the opinion of the supervisory board, if it is in operation, when the proposal to capital decrease is the initiative of the directors:

Not applicable to the present proposal to rectify the value of the share capital reduction, since the Company does not currently have a Fiscal Council in place. The opinion of the Fiscal Council in relation to the capital reduction approved at the EGM 02.14.23 is attached to the management's proposal for such meeting.

4.Inform, as the case may be:

(a) the refund amount per stock

The Company distributed to is stockholders One Billion, Eighty Million, Five Hundred and Fifty-Six Thousand, Two Hundred and Seventy-Six (1,080,556,276) common stocks issued by Éxito owned by the Company, corresponding to approximately eighty-three percent (83%) of the Company’s interest in the capital stock of Éxito, whose book value corresponds to the value of the capital decrease proposed herein, as of July 31^st, 2023, of six billion, six hundred and fifty nine million, three hundred and one thousand, eight hundred and six reais and sixty centavos (R$  6,659,301,806.60). Such stocks make up the ratio of 4 (four) stocks issued by Éxito for each Company share, resulting in a value per Company stock of (twenty four reais and sixty five centavos) R$ 24.65.

(b) the amount of the decrease in the value of the stocks to the amount of the contributions, in the case of unpaid capital

Not applicable, since the Company’s capital stock is fully paid up.

(c) the number of stocks subject to the decrease

Not applicable, since the number of stocks issued by the Company will be the same.

Schedule II

Origin Report and Justification of Proposed Amendments

(According to article 12, II, of CVM Resolution 81)

Below is a chart comparing the version currently in effect and the proposed amendments in the Company’s By-laws.

In relation to the economic and/or legal effects of the changes proposed below, the Company does not foresee relevant impacts as a result of the proposed changes, being important to emphasize that (i) as regards the modification suggested in item II of this Proposal, this is not a change in the Company's corporate purpose and, therefore, the withdrawal right provided for in article 137 of the Brazilian Corporation Law shall not be applicable; and (ii) in relation to the modification suggested in item III of this Proposal, such modification aims solely to adequate the Company’s Bylaws to the current equity situation of the Company, due to the segregation of its businesses from those of Éxito.

36 

The Compensation Policy is available at the Investor Relations website of the Company (www.gpari.com.br), and at the websites of the CVM (https://www.gov.br/cvm) and B3 (https://www.b3.com.br).

b. practices and procedures adopted by the board of directors to determine the individual compensation of members of the board of directors and board of executive officers, indicating:

i. the bodies and committees of the issuer that participate in the decision-making process, identifying how they participate

Pursuant to art. 152 of the Brazilian Corporate Law (Lei das S.A.) and the Compensation Policy of the Company, the Shareholders’ Meeting is responsible for determining the global compensation of members of management, as well as of members of the Fiscal Council, when installed. The Board of Directors is responsible for determining the distribution of the annual global compensation approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting among the management bodies. The members of the Board of Directors who are also executive officers, even if temporarily, are prohibited from intervening in the process of determination of their own compensation as executive officers.

The Shareholders’ Meeting is also responsible for creating and amending the stock-based compensation plans. The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the creation of variable compensation programs and the grant of stock options and restricted shares, in accordance with the plans approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting, establishing the relevant conditions and beneficiaries.

The Company also has an area dedicated to matters related to compensation, whose main objective is to assess, structure and recommend best practices. These recommendations are submitted to the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee, responsible for submitting and advising on matters related to compensation of members of Management, employees and non-statutory executives. Accordingly, the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors assess the adequacy of the compensation paid on an annual basis to the Board of Directors and to the Board of Officers, as a whole, and to the members of each of these boards, individually, counting on the expertise of a specialized remuneration consultancy hired by the Company whenever needed.

In this context, the Board of Directors of the Company monitors the entire decision-making process to determine the individual compensation of members of management.

37 

ii. criteria and methodology used to determine individual compensation, indicating if any studies are used to verify market practices, and, if so, the comparison criteria and the scope of these studies

As informed in item “a” above, the Compensation Policy establishes the criteria adopted regarding the compensation of members of management, as follows:

(i) Responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors, its Advisory Committees, Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council, when installed, considering the different titles held and functions performed;

(ii) Time dedicated to their functions;

(iii) Competence and professional reputation, in view of their experience and qualification; and

(iv) Value of their services in the market

Moreover, the Company engages specialized companies to conduct or provide access to studies and conduct the assessment and comparison regarding the compensation paid to a position in accordance with market practice (for fiscal year 2022, the most recent year of application, this assessment was conducted based on the Top Exec Survey by Korn Ferry, whose comparison parameters include large economic groups operating in Brazil, taking into account companies of the same size in the relevant segment of operation, as well as other competing segments for purposes of engagement of executives).

In regard to the variable compensation of statutory Executive Officers, the Company pays its executive officers pursuant to Law No. 10,101/2000. The calculation is based on financial and non-financial indicators, independent among themselves, aligned with the strategic planning of the Company, established based on the business plan and results to be achieved by the Company, as mentioned in item 8.1.c. Therefore, profit-sharing is tied to the performance of the Company and statutory Executive Officers, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Program of the Company.

In the analysis of the amount of total compensation of a member of the Board of Executive Officers, it is noteworthy that the Company confirms its Compensation Policy to ensure that the amount perceived by the members of the Board of Executive Officers is in line with that of companies with which the Company is comparable to (the largest economic groups in Brazil) and equivalent to the total compensation paid by the 10% of the highest paying companies in Brazil.

38 

Once the survey is completed, the area responsible for establishing the compensation structure of members of management and key employees suggests compensation parameters and strategies to the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee and to the Board of Directors.

Statutory and Non-statutory Board of Executive Officers

40 

The management of the Company understands that the components of compensation are in line with the principles of the Company, and are satisfactory to achieve the objectives of the Company established in its Compensation Policy.

The fixed component is calculated based on the title and qualification of the individual to maintain the balance between general market practices and the results obtained in the annual survey conducted by the consulting companies engaged by the Company. In regard to the Board of Directors and Advisory Committees, the calculation of the fixed component also takes into account the attendance to and number of attended meetings in the relevant management bodies and/or fulfillment of specific projects focused on the Company’s strategy.

Short-term variable compensation (corresponding to profit-sharing or remuneration based on stock option plans) is granted as an annual payment tied to the results of the Company in the fiscal year, in the case of the statutory Board of Executive Officers.

The objective of the long-term variable compensation (corresponding to stock option plans and/or free shares plan) is to encourage and motivate the performance of directors and statutory and non-statutory Executive Officers in terms of efficiency, productivity, results and commitment .

• method of calculation and adjustment

To establish the compensation of members of management, the Company regularly conducts market surveys in order to assess whether the criteria and conditions adopted to determine compensation are satisfactory and allow the Company to retain professionals, as well as to analyze the need to propose adjustments to any component of compensation that may not be aligned. These surveys are conducted annually by a specialized consulting company renowned in the market and engaged by the Company, based on the analysis of data of the main companies in the Brazilian market, with revenue and size similar to those of the Company.

Once the survey is completed, the area responsible for establishing the compensation structure of members of management and key employees suggests compensation parameters and strategies, including for non-statutory Executive Officers and holders of other strategic titles who are not part of the statutory management.

The Company has an area dedicated to matters related to compensation, whose main objective is to assess, structure and recommend best practices. These recommendations are submitted to the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee, responsible for submitting and advising on matters related to compensation of members of Management, employees and non-statutory executives.

The Board of Directors prepares the Management’s Proposal, allowing shareholders to discuss and approve the global compensation amount paid to members of management, always separated by body.

In regard to the variable compensation of executive officers, the Company pays their executive officers pursuant to Law No. 10,101/2000. The calculation is based on financial and non-financial indicators, independent among themselves, aligned with the strategic planning of the Company, established based on the business plan and results to be achieved by the Company, as mentioned in item 8.1.c. Therefore, profit-sharing is tied to the performance of the Company and members of management, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Program of the Company.

• main performance indicators taken into account, including, as applicable, the indicators related to ESG matters

In order to meet the objective of the Compensation Policy, which is to pay compensation in accordance with market practices (as assessed for fiscal year 2022 based on the Top Exec Survey by Korn Ferry, whose comparison parameters include large economic groups operating in Brazil), allowing the Company to attract and retain the best talents in search of excellence, the establishment of each element of compensation considers the following performance indicators:

·Fixed compensation (Base Salary and direct and indirect Benefits): established based on competitive compensation structures that take into account the know-how, problem solving capabilities and responsibilities of each title. The Company organizes its structure by salary brackets and the relevant average salary by bracket, seeking to maintain an alignment with market average salaries.

·Profit-Sharing: takes into account performance indicators in line with the strategic planning of the Company. These indicators are based on its business plan, which considers quantitative results and the assessment of performance of executive officers, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Program of the Company, executed pursuant to Law No. 10,101/2000. As an example, in the last years, the Company has been using metrics based on the following indicators to calculate the amounts to be distributed under its Profit-Sharing Programs: Net Sales; NPS; General, Administrative and Selling Expenses; EBITDA; Sustainability Index (% of Disabled People, % of Women in Leadership Positions, Energy Consumption); and Market Share. For purpose of metrics, certain financial indicators, including net income, are based on the French accounting standard, which is used by the Company’s controlling shareholder to consolidate its subsidiaries, allowing all executives of the group to receive compensation under the same criterion.

Certain of these indicators are strictly financial indicators, while the others (including ESG parameters) are measurable factors that contribute to the results of the Company and, therefore, are correlated to its financial performance. Given the independence among the several indicators, it is noteworthy that the executive officers of the Company, under its Profit-Sharing Programs, may receive payment in any circumstance, regardless of the distribution of dividends by the Company, based on the applicable performance indicators, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Programs annually established by the Company. Accordingly, especially in fiscal years in which a net loss or net income below corporate targets is recorded, reaching a percentage above 100% in the achievement of the targets attributed to non-strictly financial indicators may offset, even if partially, the non-achievement of strictly financial indicators. The total amount paid under the Profit-Sharing Programs is provided for and limited by the terms and conditions set forth in the relevant Programs.

43 

The results of the Group indicators and Individual indicators are measured according to the achievement of targets, as well as minimum and maximum values, as established and approved by the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors, respectively. The average of these results determines the percentage to be applied on the target of the Profit-Sharing Programs for each individual.

For the assessment and determination of the amount to be paid under the Profit-Sharing Programs, the Company applies the Performance Score method (internally aligned with the objectives set forth by GPA and its subsidiaries). In 2022, this method was also applied to all employees of the Company holding mid-management positions, i.e., Coordinators.

·Stock-based compensation: information on the criteria and characteristics of stock-based compensation is included in item 8.4 of the Reference Form (Formulário de Referência).

ii. reasons that justify the composition of compensation

The elements that comprise the compensation package of the Company focus on the attraction and retention of talents, as well as of competent, qualified, dedicated and valuable professionals for the Company, who may contribute to its results.

To this end, in regard to the total compensation of a member of the Board of Executive Officers, the Company confirms its Compensation Policy to ensure that the amount perceived by the members of the Board of Executive Officers is in line with that of companies with which the Company is comparable to (the largest economic groups in Brazil) and equivalent to the total compensation paid by the 10% of the highest paying companies in Brazil.

iii. existence of members who are not paid by the issuer and the reason for this fact

The Chairman of the Board of Directors does not receive any kind of compensation, as he has waived his right to receive compensation.

d. existence of compensation paid by subsidiaries, controlled companies or direct or indirect controlling shareholders

44 

In the social exercise of 2022, the compensation of members of management and members of committees was fully paid by the Company, as it will be in 2023.

e. existence of any compensation or benefit tied to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the sale of corporate control of the issuer

Not applicable, as there is no compensation or benefit offered to the members of management or members of committees of the Company tied to the occurrence of corporate events.

45

8.4. In regard to the stock-based compensation plan of the board of directors and statutory board of executive officers, in effect in the last fiscal year and established for the current fiscal year, describe:

On May 9, 2014, the shareholders of the Company approved at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting: (i) the creation of the Stock Option Plan and its standard grant agreement (“Stock Option Plan”); and (ii) the creation of the Stock Option Compensation Plan and its standard grant agreement (“Compensation Plan” and, together with the Former Stock Option Plan and the Stock Option Plan, the “Plans”). The Stock Option Plan and the Compensation Plan were also subject to amendments approved at the: (i) Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings held on April 24, 2015 and April 25, 2019; and (ii) Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 30, 2019.

The Company sets forth below a description of the Plans with stock options in effect as of December 31, 2022:

COMPENSATION PLAN

a. general terms and conditions

The Compensation Plan is managed by the Board of Directors of the Company, which created the Human Resources and Compensation Committee to advise it in the management of the Compensation Plan, among other matters (“Committee”).

The members of the Committee meet for the granting of the stock options of the relevant series under the Compensation Plan, and whenever required, to decide about matters concerning the Compensation Plan.

Each stock option grant series is named “B,” followed by a number. The first stock option grant under the terms of the Compensation Plan is named B1 and the following series are named B plus the subsequent number.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, stock options granted of the B6, B7 and B8 Series under the Compensation Plan were in effect.

The following are eligible to participate in the Compensation Plan: employees and members of management of the Company, as well as employees and members of management of companies of the GPA Group who are considered key-executives (“Participant”), all of whom are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or Committee, as applicable.

56 

Participation in the Compensation Plan does not interfere in the income that the Participant is entitled to as employee and/or member of management of the Company, such as salary, fees, pró-labore, benefits, profit-sharing and/or any other advantage or compensation.

b. date of approval and responsible body

The Compensation Plan was approved at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on May 9, 2014, and amended at the extraordinary shareholders’ meetings held on April 24, 2015, April 24, 2019 and December 30, 2019.

c. maximum number of encompassed shares

Pursuant to the Compensation Plan, stock options granted pursuant to the Compensation Plan may entitle their holders to the right to acquire a certain number of shares not exceeding 2% (two percent) of the total number of common shares issued by the Company. The total number of shares issued or that may be issued pursuant to the Compensation Plan is subject to adjustments as a result of stock splits, reverse stock splits and payment of bonuses.

d. maximum number of stock options to be granted

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing the total number of stock options to be granted through programs; subject, however, to the maximum number of stock options to be granted as set forth in item (c) above.

Each stock option entitles the Participant to the right to subscribe for or acquire 1 (one) common share issued by the Company.

e. conditions for the acquisition of shares

The grant of stock options is formalized by the execution, by the Company and the Participant, of the stock option agreement, which must specify the total number of shares under the relevant stock option, the period and the conditions for the effective vesting right to exercise the stock option, the exercise conditions, the acquisition price and the payment conditions, subject to the Compensation Plan (“Stock Option Agreement”).

57 

For purposes of the Compensation Plan, the date of approval by the Committee of the stock option grant series is the date on which the stock options are considered granted to the relevant Participants, provided that the Participant, even if on a date subsequent to the date of approval by the Committee, accepts the Compensation Plan and executes the Stock Option Agreement (“Grant Date”).

Participants who wish to exercise their stock options must inform the Company in writing about their intentions to do so, indicating the number of stock options they wish to exercise. Participants can only exercise stock options during the Exercise Period (as defined below). This communication must follow the form of exercise instrument attached to the relevant Stock Option Agreement (“Stock Option Exercise Instrument”).

Participants may exercise their stock options in full or in part, once or more times, provided that, for each exercise they send the corresponding Stock Option Exercise Instrument during the Exercise Period, subject to the relevant grace periods, as indicated in item (g) below.

The Compensation Plan does not provide for other conditions for the exercise of the granted stock options and consequent acquisition of shares.

f. criteria for determination of the acquisition or exercise price

The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Compensation Plan is R$0.01 (one centavo) (“Exercise Price”).

g. criteria for the determination of the acquisition or exercise period

Stock options granted to a Participant are not exercisable for a period of 36 (thirty-six) months from the Grant Date (“Grace Period”). Stock options may only be exercised in the Exercise Period beginning on the first day of the 37th (thirty-seventh) month from the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the 42nd (forty-second) month from the Grant Date (“Exercise Period”), except for early exercise events, as set forth in item (k) and applicable subitems below, or as authorized by the Committee, pursuant to the plan.

h. form of settlement

By the 30th (thirtieth) day of the month in which the Company receives the Stock Option Exercise Instrument, the Company must inform the relevant Participant about: (i) the total exercise price to be paid, calculated as the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of stock options informed by the Participant in the Stock Option Exercise Instrument; (ii) the date of delivery of the shares under the stock options to the Participant, which must occur after the approval, by the Board of Directors, of the capital increase resulting from the exercise of the relevant stock options, within the limit of the authorized capital, pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, upon receipt of the Stock Option Exercise Instrument (“Date of Acquisition of Shares”); (iii) the number of shares to be delivered to the Participant; and (iv) the period in which the Participant must pay the total exercise price, in Brazilian currency, through a deduction in the Participant’s payroll, subject to a final date always corresponding to the 10th (tenth) day preceding the Date of Acquisition of Shares (“Payment Date”).

58 

i. restrictions on the transfer of shares

The Compensation Plan does not provide for restrictions on the transfer of shares or outstanding shares obtained upon the exercise of stock options, subject to the power of the Board of Directors to establish these restrictions in grant agreements, as it deems necessary.

j. criteria and events that, upon occurrence, result in the suspension, amendment to or termination of the plan

Stock options granted pursuant to the Compensation Plan are automatically terminated, including the full termination of their effects, by operation of law, in the following cases: (i) upon full exercise, as set forth in item 6 of the Compensation Plan; (ii) after the effectiveness period of the stock option; (iii) upon the rescission, by mutual agreement between the Company and the Participant, of the Stock Option Agreement; (iv) dissolution, liquidation or adjudicated bankruptcy of the Company; or (v) the events set forth in item (k) below, subject to any specific conditions that the Committee may establish to certain Participants.

If the number, type and class of the shares existing on the date of approval of the Compensation Plan change as a result of bonuses, stock splits, reverse stock splits, conversion of shares from one type or class into another or conversion into shares of other securities issued by the Company, the Committee must make the corresponding adjustment in the number and class of the shares under the granted stock options and their relevant exercise price, to avoid distortions in the application of the Compensation Plan.

k. effects of termination of office of members of management of the bodies of the issuer regarding their rights provided for in the stock-based compensation plan

59 

In the event of termination of office of Participants due to dismissal, with or without cause, resignation or removal from office, retirement, permanent disability or death, the rights granted to them in accordance with the Compensation Plan may be terminated or modified, subject to the following:

If, at any time during the effectiveness of the Plan, the Participant:

(i) is dismissed from the Company (or any company of the GPA Group), as applicable, involuntarily, without cause, or is removed from office with no violation of the duties and attributions as member of management, the Participant may exercise, within a period of 10 (ten) days from the date of dismissal, the number of stock options calculated on a pro rata temporis basis in relation to the Grace Period.

Participants who wish to exercise their stock options must inform the Company in writing about their intentions to do so, during the Exercise Period (as defined in item (i) below), indicating the number of stock options they wish to exercise.

Participants may exercise their stock options in full or in part, once or more times, provided that, for each exercise they send the corresponding Stock Option Exercise Instrument during the Exercise Period, subject to the relevant grace periods, as indicated in item (g) below.

The Stock Option Plan does not provide for other conditions for the exercise of the granted stock options and consequent acquisition of shares.

f. criteria for determination of the acquisition or exercise price

8.12. Summary description of the information required to understand the data disclosed in items 8.5 to 8.11, such as an explanation about the pricing method used to determine the value of the shares and stock options, indicating, at least:

a. pricing model

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model for stock options, as better explained in item (b) below.

b. data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average price of the shares, exercise price, expected volatility, life period of the stock option, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model for stock options. Considering the stock options granted in 2022, we have:

	On the grant date
Weighted average price of the shares (per share), based on the average price of the last 20 trading sessions in relation to the grant date	Series B3: R$46.51 Series C3: R$46.51 Series B4: R$70.98 Series C4: R$70.98 Series B5: R$78.26 Series C5: R$78.26 Series B6: R$88.27 Series C6: R$88.27 Series B7: R$63.97 Series C7: R$63.97

Expected updated volatility	43.48%
Life period of the stock options	3 years
Expected dividends	3.58%
Risk-free interest rate	13.75%
Fair value of the stock option on the grant date (per stock option)	See item 8.7 above

*Considering that on December 31, 2020 the stock split of Sendas Distribuidora S.A. was approved, and this transaction resulted in a proportional decrease in the market value of the shares of the Company, the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on June 1, 2021 rectified the definition of closing price in the trading session of March 1, 2021 regarding the shares of the Company to make the proportional adjustment in the exercise price of the stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan of the Company, in relation to the C4, C5, C6 and C7 series, as follows:

Series C4 --- R$13.98

Series C5 --- R$15.42

Series C6 --- R$17.39

Series C7 --- R$12.56

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes pricing model for stock options, considering the following assumptions for series B6 and C6: (a) expected dividends of 0.67%; (b) expected volatility of approximately 32.74%; and (c) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 7.32%

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes pricing model for stock options, considering the following assumptions for series B7 and C7: (a) expected dividends of 1.61%; (b) expected volatility of approximately 37.09%; (c) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.47%.

87 

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes pricing model for stock options, considering the following assumptions for series B8 and C8: (a) expected dividends of 4.50%; (b) expected volatility of approximately 43.48%; and (c) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 11.96%.

The remaining average expected life of the outstanding series as of December 31, 2022 was 2.13 (1.06 years as of December 31, 2021). The weighted average fair value of the granted stock options as of December 31, 2022 was R$12.80 (R$16.02 as of December 31, 2021).

The above changes relating to the shares refer to the shares of the Company. After the stock split of Sendas Distribuidora, and during the transition period, certain executives of the Company receive compensation in shares issued by Sendas Distribuidora, recorded as expense. Changes in the number of granted stock options, the weighted average exercise price and the weighted average remaining period are set forth in the table below:

c. method used and assumptions adopted to incorporate the expected effects of the early exercise

Anticipated fiscal years as a result of involuntary termination of office, death or disability of the beneficiary, as well as a result of corporate events, are not taken into account for purposes of pricing of stock options.

The Company adopts the assumption that the stock options will be exercised from the moment they become exercisable. Accordingly, the life period of the stock options adopted in the calculation is 3 years, in accordance with the grant series and the corresponding grace periods.

d. form of determination of the expected volatility

For the calculation of the expected volatility, the Company uses the standard deviation of the natural logarithms of historical daily changes in the price of the shares issued by the Company, in accordance with the effectiveness period of the stock options.

e. if any other characteristic of the stock option was incorporated in the measurement of its fair value

88 

The Company understands that there are no other additional characteristics to be informed in this item. All material characteristics related to the Stock Option Plan and Compensation Plan are described and considered in this item, as well as in the previous items.

8.16. Describe the contractual arrangements, insurance policies or other instruments that structure the compensation or indemnification mechanisms for the members of management in case of removal from office or retirement, indicating the financial consequences for the issuer

At the Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company held on April 28, 2021, shareholders approved the amendment to the bylaws of the Company, to include an article expressly providing for the possibility of the Company entering into indemnity agreements with members of management, upon the prior approval of the Board of Directors, and provided that the minimum parameters set forth in the Bylaws are complied with.

On May 31, 2022, at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company, directors approved an indemnity policy providing for the general conditions of the indemnity commitments that may be entered into by the Company and members of management, including a standard draft of the indemnity agreement attached thereto.

The objective of the indemnity agreement is to indemnify and hold harmless the members of management, statutory committees and fiscal council, as well as other employees who hold management titles or perform management functions at the Company or its subsidiaries (“Beneficiaries”), in the event of any damage or loss effectively incurred by these individuals due to the regular performance of their functions. This indemnification is supplementary and is only payable after the use of the D&O insurance coverage.

Each Beneficiary must enter into the relevant indemnity agreement with the Company, and the indemnity commitment is subject to the maximum limit set forth in each agreement. Furthermore, the indemnity obligations do not include acts that have been practiced by any Beneficiary in disagreement with applicable law, the bylaws and the policies and codes of the Company, as well as in disagreement and/or non-compliance with the duties of members of management.

The full indemnity policy, as well as the indemnity agreement form attached thereto, is available at the website of the CVM and the IR website of the Company.
