In response to the Official Letter, Santander Brasil clarifies that:
(i) we were informed that, according to the communication sent by Santander Spain to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) in response to Letter No. 334/2017/CVM/SEP/GEA-1, the presentation disclosed by Santander Spain on October 10 2017 is not a material fact of Santander Spain. Likewise, it is not a material fact of Santander Brasil;
(ii) with respect to the information subject to such presentation disclosed by Santander Spain, the document referring to the Company and which was the object of the question does not bring any update of the projections initially disclosed by the Company in item 11.1 of its Reference Form. In this sense, the tables published on page 19 of the document repeat the expectations for 2018 disclosed by the Company in item 11.1. of its Reference Form, considering the information disclosed until the end of the first half of 2017, thus being an update of the status of Santander Brasil, without updating projections;
(iii) as a good practice, Santander Brasil disclosed to its shareholders and the market, through its corporate website, the Portuguese and English versions of the presentation held at the event promoted by Santander Spain after its holding on October 10th .
