MATERIAL FACT

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“GPA” or “Company”), in accordance with Law No. 6,404/76 and CVM Resolution No. 44/21, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that, in the context of the Separation Agreement and Other Covenants (“Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (“Sendas”) as a result of the partial spin-off of the Company in December 2020, it was informed by Sendas on September 28, 2024, about the listing (arrolamento) of assets of Sendas due to tax liabilities of GPA whose generating events occurred prior to the date of the partial spin-off.

It should be noted that the listing (arrolamento) of assets is a legal mechanism for monitoring the taxpayer's asset situation, which does not entail the freezing of the listed assets and rights or any restriction on their sale, transfer, or encumbrance. Nevertheless, considering that GPA, under the terms of the Agreement, is responsible for losses arising from tax liabilities whose generating event occurred prior to December 31, 2020, we inform that we will continue to comply with our obligations and cooperate with Sendas in order to fully meet the demands of the Federal Revenue Service (Secretaria da Receita Federal).

Finally, we reiterate that GPA’s tax contingencies, including those that led to the listing (arrolamento) of Sendas' assets, are already dully reflected in our financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting rules.

The Company informs that it will keep the market duly informed of any relevant developments regarding this matter.

São Paulo, September 29th, 2024.

Vice-President of Finance and Investor Relations Officer
