Considering the completion of the spin-off of Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("Assaí"), Jorge Faiçal, currently the Officer responsible for the Multi Retail Business, assumes the position of CEO of GPA, with assets in Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina, replacing Cristophe Hidalgo, who held this position on an interim basis and will remain on the Board of Directors and committees of GPA.

In addition, Guillaume Gras assumed the position of Vice President Finance Officer and Isabela Cadenassi returned to the position of Investor Relations Officer, after her period on maternity leave. Belmiro Gomes, who held the position of GPA's Statutory Director, resigns from GPA's Board of Directors and will remain as Chief Executive Officer of Assaí.

GPA thanks for the relevant services provided by Christophe and Belmiro during their terms.

For Ronaldo Iabrudi, Co-Vice Chairman of GPA's Board of Directors, "Christophe Hidalgo added a lot to the Company in the position of Chief Financial Officer and in the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer was decisive in the Company's spin-off process. I am confident that he will continue to contribute as a member of GPA's Board of Directors and Committees. Jorge Faiçal, in turn, with more than 25 years of retail experience, will lead the growth process of GPA in Brazil and Latin America. "
