WILKES became a party to the Cost Sharing Agreement as legal successor upon the merger of SUDACO into it, which occurred on August 17, 2015 and since then remained benefiting from the Activities;

 

(ii) As disclosed in the Material Fact published by CBD on September 9th, 2020, the Board of Directors of CBD approved initiating a study to segregate CBD’s cash and carry unit through a partial spin-off of CBD and its wholly owned subsidiary ASSAÍ.

(iv) if the Potential Transaction is implemented, ASSAÍ shall become a party to the Cost Sharing Agreement to benefit from the Activities performed by CASINO, CASINO SERVICES, EURIS, HELICCO, WILKES and Joining Parties (as defined in the Cost Sharing Agreement).
