MATERIAL FACT

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“GPA” or “Company”), pursuant to Law No. 6,404/76, as in force, and the Resolution No. 44/21 of CVM, informs its shareholders and the market in general, according to the Material Fact disclosed on February 23, 2024, updating about the 71 gas stations’ sale located in several regions of Brazil (“Gas Stations” and “Transaction”).

On this date, with the signature of the contract to sell 49 Gas Stations located in São Paulo State (“São Paulo’s Gas Stations”), the Company concluded the signature of contracts for the major part of its Gas Stations’ operation.

The total Transaction amount corresponds to approximately R$ 200 million, which will be paid as follows: (i) R$ 138 million foreseen until the end of 2024, relying on the conclusion of certain precedent conditions, including the approval of the Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE); and (ii) installments totaling the remaining amount of R$ 62 million, upon the conclusion of other precedent conditions that aim the definitive transference of the Gas Stations to the buyers in each region.

The São Paulo’s Gas Stations operation, which represents the major amount of the Transaction, has Grupo Ultra as buyer. The remaining operations, located in eight states, are represented by other buyers. Until the effective transference to the buyers, the Gas Stations will remain operated by GPA, including the appropriation of the profits produced by the respective operations.

The Gas Stations sale set the last step of the non-core assets sale started in 2023, that aims the financial deleverage with net debt reduction and, consequently, enhancing the capital structure.

The Company was advised by Bradesco BBI in this Transaction.

The Investor Relations department is available for any further questions on this topic.

São Paulo, June 26^th, 2024.
