Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco”) informs its shareholders and the overall market that Atlântica Hospitais e Participações S.A. (“Atlântica”), company of investment in hospitals, indirect subsidiary of Bradesco and Bradseg Participações S.A., this last one controlling company of Bradesco Seguros Group, has signed, on this date, an Investment Agreement with Rede D’Or São Luiz S.A. Group (“Rede D’Or") for the creation and joint action in a new hospital network (“Atlântica D’Or”) in order to invest in, build, develop and operate general hospitals which are currently at an advanced stage of construction by Rede D’Or in the areas of Macaé-RJ, Alphaville-SP and Guarulhos-SP, as well as to analyze the potential joint development of future new hospitals in other locations (“Partnership”), especially in Taubaté and Ribeirão Preto, both in the State of São Paulo, whose assets have already been offered to Atlântica.

Atlântica D’Or shall be structured by the parties by means of a corporate structure, in the proportion of 50.01% for Rede D’Or and 49.99% for Atlântica, which will allow Atlântica to hold a direct shareholding in the company that owns the hospital assets and an indirect shareholding in companies called SPEs, which will own the respective hospital properties. Rede D’Or will be responsible for the medical management of the hospitals.

The Partnership is aligned with the strategy of Atlântica to invest in healthcare value chain by means of partnerships with players stablished in hospitals operations.

The conclusion of the Partnership is subject to the compliance with certain customary suspensive conditions in operations of this nature, including the appropriate regulatory approvals.
