Notice to Shareholders

 

 

Banco Bradesco S.A. hereby informs its shareholders and the market the approval, by the Central Bank of Brazil, on this date, of the capital stock increase process in the amount of R$8,000,000,000.00, increasing it from R$43,100,000,000.00 to R$51,100,000,000.00, with 10% (ten percent) bonus stock (1 new share for each 10 shares of the same type held), as resolved in the Special Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 10, 2016, informing that:

 

1)    the shareholders registered in the Bank’s books on April 15, 2016 will be benefited. As of April 18, 2016, the shares will be traded ex-bonus;

2)    the bonus shares will be included in the shareholders’ position on April 20, 2016, and they will be available on April 22, 2016;

3)    monthly interest on shareholders’ equity will be maintained at  R$0.017249826 per common share and R$0.018974809 per preferred share (gross), and the payment will be made by the net amount of R$0.014662352 per common share and R$0.016128588 per preferred share, net of withholding income tax of 15% (fifteen percent). They will continue to be paid in conformity with the System for Payment of Monthly Interest on Shareholders’ Equity. Withholding income tax does not apply to legal entities that are exempt from such taxation;

4)    considering the bonus shares to be incorporated into shareholders’ position on April 20, 2016, there will be an increase of 10% (ten percent) over the amounts paid monthly as from the interest referring to the month of May 2016.

By appropriate, it informs that:

·      the unit value of the bonus shares is R$15.845572693, pursuant to the provisions in Article 10 of Law No. 9,249, of December 26, 1995 (amended by Law No. 12,973/14), and in Paragraph One of Article 58 of Brazilian Federal Revenue Service Normative Instruction No. 1,585, of August 31, 2015, which will be included in the “Statement of Book-Entry Shares for the 2017 Income Statement, referring to the 2016 Calendar Year”;

·      for the shareholders who want to transfer fractions of shares resulting from the bonus stock, it is established the period from April 22, 2016 to May 23, 2016, pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph Three of Article 169 of Law No. 6,404/76. After this period, eventual remaining fractions will be separated, grouped into whole numbers and sold at an Auction to be held on June 3, 2016, at BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange), and the respective amounts will be made available to shareholders entitled thereto on June 20, 2016, as follows:

a)    to shareholders whose shares are deposited at the Company and that keep their register and banking data updated, by means of credit in the current accounts in a Financial Institution they indicate. Those who do not have such data updated must present themselves at a Bradesco Branch on their preference bearing their Individual Taxpayer’s ID, Identification Document and proof of residence (utility bill) for record updating and receiving the respective amounts to which they are entitled; and

b)   to shareholders whose shares are deposited at the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (Securities, Commodities and Future Exchange), by means of Institutions and/or Brokerage Houses which keep their shareholding position in custody.

 

The shares composing the capital stock will have equal participation, as of April 20, 2016,  in the monthly interest on shareholders’ equity and eventually complementary ones  and/or dividends to be declared, as well as, fully, to any other advantages as of mentioned date.

 

According to what has been said, the monthly interest on shareholders’ equity related to the month of May will be paid, on June 1, 2016, to the shareholders registered in the Company’s records on May 2, 2016 (declaration date and record date of right).  The Company’s shares will be traded “ex-right” on interest from May 3, 2016 on.
