NOTICE TO THE MARKET
Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (“Company”), pursuant to Law No. 6,404/1976, as amended, and CVM Instruction 44/2021, hereby informs its shareholders and the market that entered into a digital partnership with Cornershop by Uber (“Cornershop”).
This is an unprecedented development on digital transformation journey to bring even more convenience to our customers, in partnership with Cornershop by Uber. Consumers in over 25 cities (as listed below) can shop using the Cornershop by Uber application or the Market function available on Uber and Uber Eats. The main items of the product catalogue of the cash and carry company are now available online, with delivery in 90 minutes. There is no minimum limit for purchases.
All purchases are made by Shoppers, the delivery drivers who select, separate and deliver the items. In addition to receiving status updates on their orders, customers can indicate product preferences, such as the preferred ripeness point of their fresh product. The entire process happens in real time, which means customers can talk to the Shopper before or during purchases if they forget an item or have a last-minute addition. The app also allows users to saver their shopping list to facilitate future orders.
The executives comment about this partnership:
"We believe it's vital that we offer our customers the best options available in the market. The partnership with Assaí will expand our portfolio and bring even more benefits for our consumers. We are honored to learn that we were the first platform selected for the company's digital environment. Our vision guided by quality and fast delivery is closely aligned with what Assaí is seeking, and we can support them," said Cristina Alvarenga, Head of Cornershop by Uber in Brazil.
"With Cornershop by Uber, we are launching online sales for those who want the option of shopping without going out and receiving products from Assaí from the comfort of their home, while paying the same price as in our stores," explained Anderson Castilho, Vice-president of Operations at Assaí. "We are embarking on our digital shopping journey, expanding our shopping and delivery options and offering customers yet another point of contact with the brand, which is in line with our planning for the year and our digital transformation plan," concluded Julio Gentilim, Strategic Planning & M&A Director at Assaí.
