&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. Installation Of The Fiscal Council

It is important to highlight that the installation of the Fiscal Council, which will be included in the Distance Voting Bulletin for the Annual General Meeting, does not compose this Proposal, having been inserted in the Distance Voting Bulletin by regulatory requirement.

In this sense, the Management clarifies that, pursuant to its Bylaws, the Company already has a Statutory Audit Committee whose members are appointed by the Board of Directors – being composed of independent members of the Board itself and external – and that complies with (i) the mandatory requirements provided for in CVM Resolution No. 23, of February 25<sup>th</sup>, 2021, as amended; (ii) the mandatory requirements provided for in the Regulation of the B3 Novo Mercado corporate governance listing segment; and (iii) the regulatory requirements provided for by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), considering that the Company has level III ADRs listed on the New York Stock Exchange- NYSE (ADR level III), in the United States of America, since May 29, 1997.

The Statutory Audit Committee has the legal duties of the Supervisory Board, including those required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in line with the requirements relating to companies listed on the NYSE.

**a. general financial and equity conditions** 

Since 2021, the Company has been strengthening its position as a multibusiness, multiformat and multiregional company, as a result of the strategic management of its portfolio, the positioning and adequacy of the value proposition of its flags and the offer of products and services in line with the needs of its customers, which the Company has maintained over 2022.

Additionally, as of 4Q22, as a result of the segregation process of the businesses of the Company and Almacenes Éxito S.A. ("Éxito"), as disclosed in the material facts on August 10, 2022, September 5, 2022, December 30, 2022, January 9, 2023 and February 14, 2023, the activities of Éxito started to be treated as discontinued activities, as the Company had been doing since 1Q22 with the Extra Hiper business line.

Accordingly, net sales, as well as the other line items of the result, were retrospectively adjusted, in accordance with IFRS 5/CPC 31, approved by CVM Resolution No. 598/09 – Noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, the comments in this section 2 refer to the results of continuing operations.

In 2022, the Company terminated de operation of 68 Extras hypermarkets and 69 drugstores. In the same period, the Company speeded up its expansion project with the opening of 72 stores in Brazil, totaling 735 stores in operation in Brazil as of December 31, 2022. The Company continued to make progress and reinforced its digital ecosystem through the expansion of delivery models and marketplace platform and the strengthening of its Stix Fidelidade coalition program, that reached millions of users in 2022. The retailers Sodimac and Polishop also joined Stix Fidelidade program in 2022, contributing to elevate its presence in more than four thousand sales points throughout the country. In fiscal year 2022, revenue from food e-commerce reached R$1.6 billion, representing a 15% increase compared to 2021.

The Company's gross revenue in Brazil increased by 6.5% compared to the previous year, closing 2022 at R$18.5 billion. The Company also recorded an adjusted EBITDA of R$2.9 billion *vs.* R$3.3 billion in 2021 (excluding exceptional elements in the period).

**Indebtedness** 

The Company closed 2022 with a leverage ratio of 2.3x net debt/adjusted EBITDA. Net debt adjusted by the balance of non-prepaid receivables totaled R$2.0 billion as of December 2022.

Cash was R$3.8 billion and the balance of non-prepaid receivables was R$84 million, totaling R$3.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

Gross debt decreased by R$3.2 billion, estimating the Company that approximately R$1.3 billion is a result of the deconsolidation of Éxito Group, totaling R$5.9 billion in the period. Of this total, approximately R$2.7 billion refer to the issuance of debentures and promissory notes, at an average rate of CDI + 1.71% p.a. and maturing by 2028.

**c. payment capacity in relation to assumed financial commitments** 

The Board of Executive Officers believes that cash flow, as well as currently available funds, provide the Company with full payment capacity to meet all its short- and long-term financial obligations, according to the Company's financial statements duly audited and presented regularly to CVM.

**d. sources of funds used for working capital and investments in noncurrent assets** 

In 2022, funding occurred through: (A) financial agreements representing: (i) financings obtained in Brazilian currency, with the obligation to pay principal and interest rate indexed to the DI rate; (ii) financings obtained in foreign currency, which are immediately "exchanged" in full for payment obligations in Brazilian currency at an interest rate indexed to the DI rate, through swap transactions; (B) funding in the capital markets upon issuances of debentures and promissory notes; (C) generation of cash from its operations; and (D) prepayment of receivables.

In 2022, the Company did not face difficulties to obtain financing or refinance existing debt.

**e. sources of funds for working capital and investments in noncurrent assets intended to cover liquidity deficiencies**

The management of the Company believes that the sources of funds used in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 are adequate and will continue to be used by GPA as sources of funds, if required.

Accordingly, for purposes of financing for working capital and investments in noncurrent assets, the Company intends to resort to the following sources of funds: (A) financial agreements, including: (i) financings in Brazilian currency, with the obligation to pay principal and interest rate indexed to the DI rate; (ii) financings in foreign currency, which may be partially or fully exchanged for payment obligations in Brazilian currency, at an interest rate indexed to the DI rate, through swap transactions; (B) funding in the capital markets upon issuances of debentures and promissory notes; (C) generation of cash from its operations; and (D) prepayment of receivables.

**f. levels of indebtedness and characteristics of these debts, also describing:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**i. material loan and financing agreements**

*Working capital funding: Debentures and Promissory Notes*

The Company is required to maintain financial ratios in connection with the issuances of debentures and promissory notes. These ratios are calculated based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting practices adopted in Brazil, at the relevant issuer company, as follows: (i) net debt (debt *less* cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables) not exceeding shareholders' equity; and (ii) consolidated net debt/EBITDA ratio equal to or lower than 3.25. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these ratios.

*Swap transactions*

In regard to transactions in foreign currency, GPA enters into swap transactions to exchange obligations incurred in U.S. dollars or another foreign currency and fixed interest rates for obligations denominated in *Real* and indexed to CDI interest rates (floating rate). In 2022, the annual weighted average of the CDI interest rate was 12.39%.

*<u>Lease liabilities</u>*

The Company adopts CPC 06 R2 "Leases."

When entering into agreements, the Company assesses whether the agreement is, or contains, a lease. If so, the Company records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.

The Company leases equipment and commercial spaces, including stores and distribution centers, under cancellable and non-cancellable lease agreements. The terms of the agreements substantially vary between 5 and 25 years.

The Company assesses its lease agreements to identify right-of-use assets, enjoying the exemptions set forth in agreements with a term below 12 months and assets with an individual value below US$5,000 (five thousand dollars).

Agreements are then recorded, at the beginning of the lease, as Lease Liabilities against a Right-of-Use Asset, both discounted at present value from minimum lease payments, using the implicit interest rate of the agreement, if this can be used, or the incremental interest rate considering the loans obtained by the Company.

The term of the lease used in the measurement corresponds to the term in which the lessee is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option to extend the lease or will not exercise the option to terminate the lease. Subsequently, payments made are segregated among financial charges and reduced in lease liabilities to obtain a constant interest rate in the balance of liabilities. Financial charges are recognized as financial expense in the period.

The right-of-use assets under the lease agreements are amortized over the lease period. Capitalizations regarding betterments, improvements, and renovations made at stores are amortized over their estimated useful life or the period of expected use of the asset, subject to evidence that the lease agreement will not be extended.

Variable lease payments are recognized as expenses in the fiscal years in which they are incurred.

The following table sets forth the total amounts recorded in connection with lease agreements:

---

|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;Consolidated | &nbsp;&nbsp;Consolidated |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;12.31.2022 | &nbsp;&nbsp;12.31.2021 |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**ii. other long-term relationships with financial institutions** 

Currently, the Company does not maintain any material long-term relationships with financial institutions regarding the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 other than those described in item 2.1 (f) of this Reference Form (*Formulário de Referência*).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**iii. level of subordination among debts** 

The level of subordination among the debts of the Company is determined in accordance with applicable law, considering that, as of December 31, 2022, local or international loans, financings and securities of the Company comprised secured and unsecured debts, with no contractual subordination clause. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, subordination among the obligations recorded in the financial statements of the Company will occur as follows, pursuant to Law No. 11,101, dated February 9, 2005, as amended ("<u>Law 11,101</u>"): (i) labor claims; (ii) secured claims up to the limit of the collateral (if any); (iii) tax claims; (iv) unsecured claims; (v) fines and pecuniary penalties; (vi) subordinated claims (if any); and (vii) overdue interest after the adjudication of bankruptcy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**iv. any restrictions imposed on the issuer, especially in regard to limits on indebtedness and incurrence of new debt, distribution of dividends, sale of assets, issuance of new securities and sale of control, as well as if the issuer is in compliance with these restrictions** 

The instruments of issuances of debentures and promissory notes provide for restrictive clauses that, among others, establish indebtedness ratios and limits (financial covenants), limitation on the sale of assets and corporate restructuring transactions (sale, spin-off, consolidation, merger or transfer of control). Certain loan agreements and financing instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, also provide for restrictive clauses that limit the above-mentioned events, including:

● loan and financing agreements in domestic and foreign currency;

● agreement for Adhesion to the Protection System against Financial Risks – Derivatives (swap, term and option transactions).

Under the issuance of debentures and promissory notes carried out by the Company and in part of the loan operations in foreign currency hired by the Company, the latter has the obligation to maintain certain financial indexes. These indexes are calculated on a quarterly basis, based on the Company's consolidated interim financial information prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, being: (i) net debt (debt less cash and receivable accounts) not exceeding shareholders' equity; and (ii) consolidated net debt/EBITDA index, inferior or equal to 3.25. As of December 31, 2022, GPA was in compliance with these indexes.

The Company has cross default clauses in the issuance of debentures and promissory notes and in loan agreements hired with the following financial institutions: Itaú BBA, Bradesco, BTG Pactual, Scotia Bank, Safra and Santander.

The Company has been in compliance with all its restrictive clauses and, in the last fiscal year, no event that could result in the acceleration of its debts occurred.

**h. significant changes in items of the statements of operations and cash flows**

![](cbd202303276k1_003.jpg)

**<u>Fiscal year ended December 31, 2022</u>**

***Net Operating Revenue***

GPA's net operating revenue totaled R$17.3 billion in 2022, representing a 6.3% increase compared to 2021, being both these years adjusted by IFRS-5 with the discontinuity of Éxito's and hypermarket operations. These revenues derive from the supermarket operations of GPA Brasil and its complementary businesses (James Delivery, Stix Fidelidade and Cheftime).

The observed growth of GPA is the result of the following banners' performance: (i) Pão de Açúcar, representing 44% of the total, with an increase of 7.8%; (ii) Mercado Extra and Compre Bem, representing 33% of the total, with an increase of 8.1%; and (iii) Proximity, representing 14% of the total, with an increase of 18.9%. These performances are a result of the (i) organic expansion, with the opening of 72 stores in 2022, 44 of which were proximity stores; and (ii) growth in same-store sales. The other businesses of the Company, which represent approximately 10% of the total, decreased by 15.7%, mainly due to the lower flow of customers at gas stations (79% of other businesses), with the refurbishment of hypermarket stores after its assignment to Assaí Atacadista.

***Gross Profit***

In 2022, gross profit totaled R$4.3 billion, reducing in 1.3% compared to the previous year. Gross margin reached 23.2%, a decrease of 1.8 p.p. compared to 2021. The gross result was impacted by the high two digit inflation of the period, reflecting in the overall costs of: goods, labor and transportation of the stores, not being the whole inflation rate reflected in the sales price of the goods.

***Selling, General and Administrative Expenses***

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$3.3 billion in 2022, significantly close to 2021 levels. As a percentage of net operating revenue, expenses presented dilution, from 20.1% in 2021 to 19.0% in 2022. Such efficiency captured in the period is the result of a project to reduce the costs of the headquarter and stores of the Company.

***Other Operating Expenses, Net***

Other Operating Income and Expenses reached R$435 million in 2022, compared to R$169 million in 2021. The increase in other expenses is related to R$284 million of exceptional expenses incurred in 4Q22, of which: (i) R$132 million are related to the reassessment of possible ICMS contingencies. In October 2022, the Brazilian Superior Court did not receive an appeal discussing the right to receive ICMS credit on electricity from essential and productive operations. After this decision, the Company reassessed the cases in which the same topic is being discussed; (ii) R$99 million referring to the complement of provisions for labor claims, due to the increase of the overall provision considering the value of the most recent condemnations. Additionally, we emphasize that, despite the complementation of the balance, a downward trend in new labor claims has been observed since 3Q22; and (iii) R$53 million referring to expenses with the restructuring and resizing project of the headquarters and stores.

 ****

***Depreciation and Amortization***

In 2022, depreciation and amortization totaled R$931 million versus R$810 million in 2021, an increase of 14.9%.

***Financial Income (Expenses), Net***

In 2022, financial income (expenses), net totaled an expense of R$750 million in comparison to R$622 million expenses in 2021. As regards the net revenue, 2022 results represented -4.3% vs. -3.8% in 2021. This increase is consequence of the higher cost of the Company's indebtedness due to the increase in the CDI rate of the period.

***Net Income (Loss)***

Consolidated net loss attributed to the controlling shareholders of GPA totaled R$172million in 2022, in comparison to a net income of R$802 million in 2021. The reduction of the net income is mainly explained by the pressure in the gross margin and increase of other operational expenses, as detailed above.

**b. modified opinions and emphasis included in the auditor's report**

**2.4. Executive officers must comment on the material effects that the events below have caused, or are expected to cause, on the financial statements of the issuer and its results:** 

**a. introduction or sale of operating segment**

**(i) Discontinuity of the business of Extra Hiper stores and sale of assets to Sendas** 

As part of its Retail segment, the Company operates different store formats, including, before the beginning of the transaction described below with Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("<u>Assaí</u>"), 103 Extra Hiper stores, which operated in the hypermarket model. In line with the strategy of optimizing its platform of stores and allocating material resources to accelerate the growth of the most profitable flags, the management of the Company decided, in 2021, to discontinue the operation of stores under the Extra Hiper flag.

Accordingly, as included in the material facts published on October 14, 2021 and December 16, 2021, the Boards of Directors of the Company and of Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("<u>Assaí</u>") approved the execution of the agreement for the assignment of rights of operation of 66 points of sale between the Company and Sendas, located in a number of states and involving own real estate properties and real estate properties leased from third parties.

The transaction included: (i) the transfer of the goodwill of 66 stores to Sendas for R$3,928 billion; and (ii) the secured future sale of 17 real estate properties to a real estate fund and subsequent lease by Assaí, for R$1.2 billion.

Additionally, the Company contracted with banking institutions the assignment of receivables regarding the residual installments payable by Assaí. The total amount payable by Assaí to the Company for the acquisition of the goodwill of all 66 stores had been fully paid to the Company as of December 31, 2022.

Moreover, in addition to this transaction, of the 37 remaining Extra Hiper stores, the Company decided to convert 25 points of sale into stores under more profitable flags (Pão de Açúcar and Mercado Extra) and close or sell the remaining stores.

This transaction is detailed in note 1.1 to the annual financial statements of 2022, issued on February 27, 2023.

Although the sale of assets regarding Extra Hiper stores began in 2021, for purposes of discontinuity of operations from an accounting viewpoint, a substantial portion of the sale was completed in the first quarter of 2022, with the abandonment and delivery of 86% of all stores to Assaí.

Therefore, since the first quarter of 2022, net gains from the sale of assets and the result of the hypermarket business line are being presented as discontinued operation (Extra Hiper business line), and the comparative financial statements are being restated, in a single line item in the statements of operations, in accordance with IFRS5/CPC31.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded revenue of R$3.9 billion, in addition to the write-off of assets corresponding to R$1,035 and expenses of R$1,345 (of which, R$566 refer to the dismissal of employees, R$95 refer to the cancellation of agreements and R$684 refer to other expenses related to the transaction – costs related to the transaction, write-off of other line items of the balance sheets related to stores and demobilization), resulting in a net result for the transaction of R$1,564, recorded in Discontinued Operations (note 33 to the annual financial statements of 2022, issued on February 27, 2023).

**(ii) Transaction of segregation and discontinuation of operations of Subsidiary Éxito in the Company.**

On September 5, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company was informed about the result of the preliminary studies for a potential segregation of the Company and Éxito. The Board of Directors authorized Management to conclude the studies about the transaction and assess the measures required to formalize it, including all measures to establish BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) and ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) programs of Éxito in Brazil and in the United States, respectively.

In accordance with the plan prepared by Management, the transaction occurs through GPA's capital decrease to distribute approximately 83% of the shares issued by Éxito and currently held by GPA to its shareholders. Accordingly, after the distribution of shares, GPA continues to hold a minority interest of approximately 13% in the capital stock of Éxito.

On December 30, 2022, the Company applied for registration as a publicly-held company, category "A," and for registration of the Brazilian Depository Receipts Level I ("BDR") program with the CVM. The Company also applied for the listing of the BDRs with B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa and Balcão.

The Company also obtained the required prior authorizations from key financial lenders in fiscal year 2022.

Management met the main requirements of the process of segregation of its subsidiary Éxito in 2022, and it is highly probable that the transaction will be completed in the second quarter of 2023. Therefore, in accordance with CPC 31/IFRS 5, subsidiary Éxito and its subsidiaries are presented in the annual financial statements of 2022, issued on February 27, 2023, as assets held for sale in the balance sheets and discontinued operations in the statements of operations.

On February 14, 2023, the extraordinary shareholders' meeting approved the capital decrease of GPA in the amount of R$7,133, upon the delivery to GPA's shareholders of 1,080,556,276 common shares issued by Éxito and held by GPA, at a ratio of four shares issued by Éxito for each share issued by GPA.

**b. establishment, acquisition or sale of equity interest** 

Not applicable, as there was no establishment, acquisition or sale of equity interest in 2022, even though the process of reduction of equity interest held by the Company in the capital stock of Éxito to approximately 13% is ongoing and expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023, as described in item 'a' above.

**c. unusual events or transactions** 

Not applicable, as there were no unusual events or transactions in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 other than those already described in item 'a' above. Moreover, the Company does not expect future effects regarding these facts.

**2.5. If the issuer disclosed, over the last fiscal year, or wishes to disclose in this form, non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), the issuer must:**

**a.** **inform the amount of the non-GAAP measures**

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is a non-GAAP measure prepared by the Company pursuant to CVM Resolution No. 156, dated June 23, 2022, reconciled with its financial statements, consisting of net income before (i) financial income (expenses), net (ii) income tax and social contribution and (iii) depreciation and amortization expenses. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA *divided by* net operating revenue.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin are not measures recognized under Generally Accepted Accounting Practices in Brazil or IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding non-recurring effects, is a profitability measure calculated as EBITDA *less* Other Operating Income (Expenses), Net and other non-recurring effects. Management uses this measure in its analysis as Management believes that, in this manner, exceptional income and expenses and other extraordinary entries that may compromise the comparability and analysis of results are eliminated.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, adjusted EBITDA excluding Other Revenues and Operational Expenses decreased by 22.8%, from R$1,162 million in 2021 to R$897 million in 2022.

The following table sets forth EBITDA and EBITDA margin of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as well as adjusted EBITDA, excluding Other Revenues and Operational Expenses and relevant margin:

**b.** **make a reconciliation of amounts disclosed and amounts included in the audited financial statements** 

**c.** **explain why the issuer believes that this is the most appropriate measure for the correct understanding of its financial condition and results of operations** 

EBITDA is used as a performance measure by the management of the Company, as it believes that EBITDA is a practical measure to assess its operating performance.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its analyzes because it believes that, in this manner, exceptional income and expenses and other extraordinary entries that may compromise the comparability and analysis of results are eliminated.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are additional information to the financial statements of the Company and must not be used in place of audited results. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures recognized under Generally Accepted Accounting Practices in Brazil or IFRS, do not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies.

**2.6. Identify and comment any event subsequent to the last financial statements for the fiscal year and that substantially changes them**

The extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on February 14, 2023 approved: (i) the capital increase of the Company, in the amount of R$2,605, upon the use of reserves, without the issuance of new shares; (ii) the capital decrease, in the amount of R$7,133, upon the delivery of common shares issued by Éxito and held by the Company to its shareholders, which capital decrease is subject to the end of the 60-day period in which creditors may present their objections; and approval of the ADR and BDR programs of Éxito. For more information about this capital decrease, see item 2.4(a)(ii).

On January 23, 2023, the Board of Directors approved: (i) the 19th issuance of debentures, in two series, in the initial amount of R$750, with an additional lot option of up to 25%; and (ii) the optional partial distribution of the Offering, provided that it is subject to a minimum limit of R$500. The issuance was completed in the amount of R$500 on February 24, 2023.

**2.7. Executive officers must comment on the allocation of corporate profit, indicating:** 

**a. rules on profit withholding** 

**b. rules on the distribution of dividends** 

**c. frequency of distributions of dividends**

**d. any restrictions on the distribution of dividends imposed by special laws or regulations applicable to the issuer, as well as agreements and court, administrative or arbitration decisions**

**e. if the issuer has a formally approved policy for the allocation of profit, inform the body responsible for this approval, date of approval and, if the issuer discloses the policy, the websites where the document is available**

<u>Section 8 of the Company's Reference Form</u>

**8. MANAGEMENT'S COMPENSATION** 

**8.1. Describe the compensation policy or practice of the board of directors; statutory and non-statutory board of executive officers; fiscal council; statutory committees and audit, risk, finance and compensation committees; addressing the following aspects:**

**a. objectives of the compensation policy or practice, informing if the compensation policy was formally approved, the body responsible for its approval, the date of approval and, if the issuer discloses the policy, the places on the world wide web where the document may be found**

The Company has a Policy on the Appointment and Compensation of the Members of the Board of Directors, Advisory Committees, Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council, formally approved in the meeting of the Board of Directors held on November 28, 2019, as amended on May 31, 2022 ("Compensation Policy"), that establishes the guidelines concerning the compensation of members of management in accordance with market practices and, consequently, allows the Company to attract and retain qualified professionals and align their involvement with the interests of the Company, guided by the following criteria:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors, Advisory Committees,
Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council, when installed, considering the different titles they hold and the functions
they perform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Time dedicated to their functions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Competence and professional reputation, in view of their experience and
qualification; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Value of their services in the market

Additionally, pursuant to the Compensation Policy, the compensation of members of management may comprise the following elements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Fixed compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Direct and indirect benefits, corresponding to healthcare plan, life insurance,
health check-up, and meal voucher, among others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Short-term variable compensation (corresponding to Profit-Sharing);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Long-term variable compensation (corresponding to stock option plans and/or
remuneration on stock option plans); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Post-employment benefits, corresponding to the consideration paid in a private
pension plan for those who make this option.

The Compensation Policy is available at the Investor Relations website of the Company (www.gpari.com.br), and at the websites of the CVM (https://www.gov.br/cvm) and B3 (https://www.b3.com.br).

**b. practices and procedures adopted by the board of directors to determine the individual compensation of members of the board of directors and board of executive officers, indicating:**

**i. the bodies and committees of the issuer that participate in the decision-making process, identifying how they participate**

Pursuant to art. 152 of the Brazilian Corporate Law (*Lei das S.A.*) and the Compensation Policy of the Company, the Shareholders' Meeting is responsible for determining the global compensation of members of management, as well as of members of the Fiscal Council, when installed. The Board of Directors is responsible for determining the distribution of the annual global compensation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting among the management bodies. The members of the Board of Directors who are also executive officers, even if temporarily, are prohibited from intervening in the process of determination of their own compensation as executive officers.

The Shareholders' Meeting is also responsible for creating and amending the stock-based compensation plans. The Board of Directors is responsible for approving the creation of variable compensation programs and the grant of stock options and restricted shares, in accordance with the plans approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, establishing the relevant conditions and beneficiaries.

The Company also has an area dedicated to matters related to compensation, whose main objective is to assess, structure and recommend best practices. These recommendations are submitted to the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee, responsible for submitting and advising on matters related to compensation of members of Management, employees and non-statutory executives. Accordingly, the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors assess the adequacy of the compensation paid on an annual basis to the Board of Directors and to the Board of Officers, as a whole, and to the members of each of these boards, individually, counting on the expertise of a specialized remuneration consultancy hired by the Company whenever needed.

In this context, the Board of Directors of the Company monitors the entire decision-making process to determine the individual compensation of members of management.

**ii. criteria and methodology used to determine individual compensation, indicating if any studies are used to verify market practices, and, if so, the comparison criteria and the scope of these studies**

As informed in item "a" above, the Compensation Policy establishes the criteria adopted regarding the compensation of members of management, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Responsibilities of the members of the Board of Directors, its Advisory
Committees, Statutory Board of Executive Officers and Fiscal Council, when installed, considering the different titles held and functions
performed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Time dedicated to their functions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Competence and professional reputation, in view of their experience and
qualification; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Value of their services in the market

Moreover, the Company engages specialized companies to conduct or provide access to studies and conduct the assessment and comparison regarding the compensation paid to a position in accordance with market practice (for fiscal year 2022, the most recent year of application, this assessment was conducted based on the Top Exec Survey by Korn Ferry, whose comparison parameters include large economic groups operating in Brazil, taking into account companies of the same size in the relevant segment of operation, as well as other competing segments for purposes of engagement of executives).

In regard to the variable compensation of statutory Executive Officers, the Company pays its executive officers pursuant to Law No. 10,101/2000. The calculation is based on financial and non-financial indicators, independent among themselves, aligned with the strategic planning of the Company, established based on the business plan and results to be achieved by the Company, as mentioned in item 8.1.c. Therefore, profit-sharing is tied to the performance of the Company and statutory Executive Officers, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Program of the Company.

In the analysis of the amount of total compensation of a member of the Board of Executive Officers, it is noteworthy that the Company confirms its Compensation Policy to ensure that the amount perceived by the members of the Board of Executive Officers is in line with that of companies with which the Company is comparable to (the largest economic groups in Brazil) and equivalent to the total compensation paid by the 10% of the highest paying companies in Brazil.

Once the survey is completed, the area responsible for establishing the compensation structure of members of management and key employees suggests compensation parameters and strategies to the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee and to the Board of Directors.

**iii. how often and how the board of directors assesses the adequacy of the compensation policy of the issuer**

To establish the individual compensation, the Company regularly conducts market surveys, carried out by renowned specialized consulting companies engaged to this end.

**c. composition of compensation, indicating:**

**i. description of the different elements that comprise compensation, including, in regard to each one of them:**

**Board of Directors**

The compensation of members of the Board of Directors comprises a fixed component, which is periodically adjusted based on the amount usually paid by the market, encouraging these professionals to maintain excellence in the exercise of their functions and the continuous search for the improvement of results.

The members of the Board of Directors are eligible to the stock option plans and stock option compensation plans detailed in item 8.4 may. Moreover, the members of the Board of Directors may be entitled to a short-term variable compensation, tied to the dedication of more time and the fulfillment of specific projects focused on the Company's strategy.

Considering that the members of the Board of Directors are eligible to the long and shot term variable remuneration, the Company understands that its interests are aligned with those of the Company and its shareholders, therefore, its compensation policy and practice are adequate in relation to its short-, medium- and long-term interests.

**Statutory and Non-statutory Board of Executive Officers** 

The compensation of the Board of Executive Officers comprises a fixed component and a variable component. The fixed component is calculated based on the title and qualification of the individual to maintain the balance between general market practices and the results obtained in the annual survey conducted by the consulting companies engaged by the Company.

Short-term variable compensation (corresponding to profit-sharing) is granted as an annual payment tied to the results of the Company in the fiscal year, paid to the members of the statutory and non-statutory Board of Executive Officers.

Long-term variable compensation (corresponding to the stock option plan and the stock option compensation plan of the Company) aims at encouraging and motivating the performance of statutory and non-statutory Executive Officers in terms of efficiency, productivity, results and commitment.

The management of the Company understands that the components of compensation are in line with the principles of the Company, and are satisfactory to achieve the objectives of the Company established in its Compensation Policy, to generate value in a short and long term to the Company.

**Fiscal Council**

The compensation of members of the Fiscal Council, if installed upon request of the Shareholders' Meeting, comprises a monthly fixed compensation, which is unconnected to their attendance to meetings and represents, for each sitting member, at least 10% of the average fixed compensation attributed to each executive officer, pursuant to paragraph 3 of article 162 of the Brazilian Corporate Law (*Lei das S.A.*)

**Non-Statutory Advisory Committees of the Board of Directors**

**<u>Audit Committee</u>**

The compensation of members of the Audit Committee comprises a fixed compensation, calculated based on the title and qualification of the individual, in accordance with market surveys conducted by the consulting companies engaged by the Company, attendance to and number of attended meetings in the relevant management bodies, and the compensation paid to the other committees.

The right to participate in the stock option plans and stock option compensation plans detailed in item 8.4 may be extended to the members of the Audit Committee who are also members of the Board of Directors. Moreover, members of the Board of Directors may be entitled to short-term variable compensation, tied to the dedication of more time or fulfillment of specific responsibilities focused on the Company's strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **objectives and alignment to the short-, medium- and long-term interests of the issuer** 

The management of the Company understands that the components of compensation are in line with the principles of the Company, and are satisfactory to achieve the objectives of the Company established in its Compensation Policy.

The fixed component is calculated based on the title and qualification of the individual to maintain the balance between general market practices and the results obtained in the annual survey conducted by the consulting companies engaged by the Company. In regard to the Board of Directors and Advisory Committees, the calculation of the fixed component also takes into account the attendance to and number of attended meetings in the relevant management bodies and/or fulfillment of specific projects focused on the Company's strategy.

Short-term variable compensation (corresponding to profit-sharing or remuneration based on stock option plans) is granted as an annual payment tied to the results of the Company in the fiscal year, in the case of the statutory Board of Executive Officers. For the members of the Board of Directors and Advisory Committees, payment is tied to the dedication of more time or fulfillment of specific responsibilities focused on the Company's strategy.

The objective of the long-term variable compensation (corresponding to stock option plans and/or free shares plan) is to encourage and motivate the performance of directors and statutory and non-statutory Executive Officers in terms of efficiency, productivity, results and commitment .

Finally, the objective of the direct and indirect benefits offered by the Company is to make the compensation package offered by the Company more attractive to the professionals who it intends to attract and retain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **method of calculation and adjustment** 

To establish the compensation of members of management, the Company regularly conducts market surveys in order to assess whether the criteria and conditions adopted to determine compensation are satisfactory and allow the Company to retain professionals, as well as to analyze the need to propose adjustments to any component of compensation that may not be aligned. These surveys are conducted annually by a specialized consulting company renowned in the market and engaged by the Company, based on the analysis of data of the main companies in the Brazilian market, with revenue and size similar to those of the Company.

Once the survey is completed, the area responsible for establishing the compensation structure of members of management and key employees suggests compensation parameters and strategies, including for non-statutory Executive Officers and holders of other strategic titles who are not part of the statutory management.

The Company has an area dedicated to matters related to compensation, whose main objective is to assess, structure and recommend best practices. These recommendations are submitted to the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee, responsible for submitting and advising on matters related to compensation of members of Management, employees and non-statutory executives.

The Board of Directors prepares the Management's Proposal, allowing shareholders to discuss and approve the global compensation amount paid to members of management, always separated by body.

In regard to the variable compensation of executive officers, the Company pays their executive officers pursuant to Law No. 10,101/2000. The calculation is based on financial and non-financial indicators, independent among themselves, aligned with the strategic planning of the Company, established based on the business plan and results to be achieved by the Company, as mentioned in item 8.1.c. Therefore, profit-sharing is tied to the performance of the Company and members of management, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Program of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **main performance indicators taken into account, including, as applicable, the indicators related to ESG matters** 

In order to meet the objective of the Compensation Policy, which is to pay compensation in accordance with market practices (as assessed for fiscal year 2022 based on the Top Exec Survey by Korn Ferry, whose comparison parameters include large economic groups operating in Brazil), allowing the Company to attract and retain the best talents in search of excellence, the establishment of each element of compensation considers the following performance indicators:

· **Fixed compensation (Base Salary and direct and indirect Benefits)**: established based on competitive compensation structures that take into account the know-how, problem solving capabilities and responsibilities of each title. The Company organizes its structure by salary brackets and the relevant average salary by bracket, seeking to maintain an alignment with market average salaries.

· **Profit-Sharing**: takes into account performance indicators in line with the strategic planning of the Company. These indicators are based on its business plan, which considers quantitative results and the assessment of performance of executive officers, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Program of the Company, executed pursuant to Law No. 10,101/2000. As an example, in the last years, the Company has been using metrics based on the following indicators to calculate the amounts to be distributed under its Profit-Sharing Programs: Net Sales; NPS; General, Administrative and Selling Expenses; EBITDA; Sustainability Index (% of Disabled People, % of Women in Leadership Positions, Energy Consumption); and Market Share. For purpose of metrics, certain financial indicators, including net income, are based on the French accounting standard, which is used by the Company's controlling shareholder to consolidate its subsidiaries, allowing all executives of the group to receive compensation under the same criterion.

Certain of these indicators are strictly financial indicators, while the others (including ESG parameters) are measurable factors that contribute to the results of the Company and, therefore, are correlated to its financial performance. Given the independence among the several indicators, it is noteworthy that the executive officers of the Company, under its Profit-Sharing Programs, may receive payment in any circumstance, regardless of the distribution of dividends by the Company, based on the applicable performance indicators, pursuant to the Profit-Sharing Programs annually established by the Company. Accordingly, especially in fiscal years in which a net loss or net income below corporate targets is recorded, reaching a percentage above 100% in the achievement of the targets attributed to non-strictly financial indicators may offset, even if partially, the non-achievement of strictly financial indicators. The total amount paid under the Profit-Sharing Programs is provided for and limited by the terms and conditions set forth in the relevant Programs.

The results of the Group indicators and Individual indicators are measured according to the achievement of targets, as well as minimum and maximum values, as established and approved by the Corporate Governance and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors, respectively. The average of these results determines the percentage to be applied on the target of the Profit-Sharing Programs for each individual.

For the assessment and determination of the amount to be paid under the Profit-Sharing Programs, the Company applies the Performance Score method (internally aligned with the objectives set forth by GPA and its subsidiaries). In 2022, this method was also applied to all employees of the Company holding mid-management positions, *i.e.*, Coordinators.

· **Stock-based compensation**: information on the criteria and characteristics of stock-based compensation is included in item 8.4 of the Reference Form (*Formulário de Referência*).

**ii. reasons that justify the composition of compensation**

The elements that comprise the compensation package of the Company focus on the attraction and retention of talents, as well as of competent, qualified, dedicated and valuable professionals for the Company, who may contribute to its results.

To this end, in regard to the total compensation of a member of the Board of Executive Officers, the Company confirms its Compensation Policy to ensure that the amount perceived by the members of the Board of Executive Officers is in line with that of companies with which the Company is comparable to (the largest economic groups in Brazil) and equivalent to the total compensation paid by the 10% of the highest paying companies in Brazil.

**iii. existence of members who are not paid by the issuer and the reason for this fact**

The Chairman of the Board of Directors does not receive any kind of compensation, as he has waived his right to receive compensation.

**d. existence of compensation paid by subsidiaries, controlled companies or direct or indirect controlling shareholders** 

In the social exercise of 2022, the compensation of members of management and members of committees was fully paid by the Company, as it will be in 2023.

**e. existence of any compensation or benefit tied to the occurrence of a certain corporate event, such as the sale of corporate control of the issuer** 

Not applicable, as there is no compensation or benefit offered to the members of management or members of committees of the Company tied to the occurrence of corporate events.

**8.2. In regard to compensation recognized in the result of the last 3 fiscal years and expected for the current fiscal year, regarding the board of directors, statutory board of executive officers and fiscal council, prepare a table with the following information:**

**a. body** 

**b. total number of members**

**COMPENSATION PLAN**

The Compensation Plan is managed by the Board of Directors of the Company, which created the Human Resources and Compensation Committee to advise it in the management of the Compensation Plan, among other matters ("<u>Committee</u>").

The members of the Committee meet for the granting of the stock options of the relevant series under the Compensation Plan, and whenever required, to decide about matters concerning the Compensation Plan.

Each stock option grant series is named "B," followed by a number. The first stock option grant under the terms of the Compensation Plan is named B1 and the following series are named B plus the subsequent number.

**b. date of approval and responsible body**

The Compensation Plan was approved at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on May 9, 2014, and amended at the extraordinary shareholders' meetings held on April 24, 2015, April 24, 2019 and December 30, 2019.

**c. maximum number of encompassed shares**

Pursuant to the Compensation Plan, stock options granted pursuant to the Compensation Plan may entitle their holders to the right to acquire a certain number of shares not exceeding 2% (two percent) of the total number of common shares issued by the Company. The total number of shares issued or that may be issued pursuant to the Compensation Plan is subject to adjustments as a result of stock splits, reverse stock splits and payment of bonuses.

**d. maximum number of stock options to be granted**

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing the total number of stock options to be granted through programs; subject, however, to the maximum number of stock options to be granted as set forth in item (c) above.

Each stock option entitles the Participant to the right to subscribe for or acquire 1 (one) common share issued by the Company.

**e. conditions for the acquisition of shares**

The grant of stock options is formalized by the execution, by the Company and the Participant, of the stock option agreement, which must specify the total number of shares under the relevant stock option, the period and the conditions for the effective vesting right to exercise the stock option, the exercise conditions, the acquisition price and the payment conditions, subject to the Compensation Plan ("<u>Stock Option Agreement</u>").

For purposes of the Compensation Plan, the date of approval by the Committee of the stock option grant series is the date on which the stock options are considered granted to the relevant Participants, provided that the Participant, even if on a date subsequent to the date of approval by the Committee, accepts the Compensation Plan and executes the Stock Option Agreement ("<u>Grant Date</u>").

Participants who wish to exercise their stock options must inform the Company in writing about their intentions to do so, indicating the number of stock options they wish to exercise. Participants can only exercise stock options during the Exercise Period (as defined below). This communication must follow the form of exercise instrument attached to the relevant Stock Option Agreement ("<u>Stock Option Exercise Instrument</u>").

Participants may exercise their stock options in full or in part, once or more times, provided that, for each exercise they send the corresponding Stock Option Exercise Instrument during the Exercise Period, subject to the relevant grace periods, as indicated in item (g) below.

The Compensation Plan does not provide for other conditions for the exercise of the granted stock options and consequent acquisition of shares.

**f. criteria for determination of the acquisition or exercise price**

The exercise price of each stock option granted under the Compensation Plan is R$0.01 (one *centavo*) ("<u>Exercise Price</u>").

**g. criteria for the determination of the acquisition or exercise period**

Stock options granted to a Participant are not exercisable for a period of 36 (thirty-six) months from the Grant Date ("<u>Grace Period</u>"). Stock options may only be exercised in the Exercise Period beginning on the first day of the 37th (thirty-seventh) month from the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the 42nd (forty-second) month from the Grant Date ("<u>Exercise Period</u>"), except for early exercise events, as set forth in item (k) and applicable subitems below, or as authorized by the Committee, pursuant to the plan.

**h. form of settlement**

By the 30th (thirtieth) day of the month in which the Company receives the Stock Option Exercise Instrument, the Company must inform the relevant Participant about: (i) the total exercise price to be paid, calculated as the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of stock options informed by the Participant in the Stock Option Exercise Instrument; (ii) the date of delivery of the shares under the stock options to the Participant, which must occur after the approval, by the Board of Directors, of the capital increase resulting from the exercise of the relevant stock options, within the limit of the authorized capital, pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, upon receipt of the Stock Option Exercise Instrument ("<u>Date of Acquisition of Shares</u>"); (iii) the number of shares to be delivered to the Participant; and (iv) the period in which the Participant must pay the total exercise price, in Brazilian currency, through a deduction in the Participant's payroll, subject to a final date always corresponding to the 10th (tenth) day preceding the Date of Acquisition of Shares ("<u>Payment Date</u>").

**i. restrictions on the transfer of shares**

The Compensation Plan does not provide for restrictions on the transfer of shares or outstanding shares obtained upon the exercise of stock options, subject to the power of the Board of Directors to establish these restrictions in grant agreements, as it deems necessary.

If the number, type and class of the shares existing on the date of approval of the Compensation Plan change as a result of bonuses, stock splits, reverse stock splits, conversion of shares from one type or class into another or conversion into shares of other securities issued by the Company, the Committee must make the corresponding adjustment in the number and class of the shares under the granted stock options and their relevant exercise price, to avoid distortions in the application of the Compensation Plan.

*\*Considering that on December 31, 2020 the stock split of Sendas Distribuidora S.A. was approved, and this transaction resulted in a proportional decrease in the market value of the shares of the Company, the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on June 1, 2021 rectified the definition of closing price in the trading session of March 1, 2021 regarding the shares of the Company to make the proportional adjustment in the exercise price of the stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan of the Company, in relation to the C4, C5, C6 and C7 series, as follows:*

*Series C4 --- R$13.98*

*Series C5 --- R$15.42*

*Series C6 --- R$17.39*

*Series C7 --- R$12.56*

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes pricing model for stock options, considering the following assumptions for series B6 and C6: (a) expected dividends of 0.67%; (b) expected volatility of approximately 32.74%; and (c) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 7.32%

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes pricing model for stock options, considering the following assumptions for series B7 and C7: (a) expected dividends of 1.61%; (b) expected volatility of approximately 37.09%; (c) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.47%.

The fair value of each granted stock option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes pricing model for stock options, considering the following assumptions for series B8 and C8: (a) expected dividends of 4.50%; (b) expected volatility of approximately 43.48%; and (c) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 11.96%.

The remaining average expected life of the outstanding series as of December 31, 2022 was 2.13 (1.06 years as of December 31, 2021). The weighted average fair value of the granted stock options as of December 31, 2022 was R$12.80 (R$16.02 as of December 31, 2021).

The above changes relating to the shares refer to the shares of the Company. After the stock split of Sendas Distribuidora, and during the transition period, certain executives of the Company receive compensation in shares issued by Sendas Distribuidora, recorded as expense. Changes in the number of granted stock options, the weighted average exercise price and the weighted average remaining period are set forth in the table below:

**c. method used and assumptions adopted to incorporate the expected effects of the early exercise** 

Anticipated fiscal years as a result of involuntary termination of office, death or disability of the beneficiary, as well as a result of corporate events, are not taken into account for purposes of pricing of stock options.

The Company adopts the assumption that the stock options will be exercised from the moment they become exercisable. Accordingly, the life period of the stock options adopted in the calculation is 3 years, in accordance with the grant series and the corresponding grace periods.

**d. form of determination of the expected volatility**

For the calculation of the expected volatility, the Company uses the standard deviation of the natural logarithms of historical daily changes in the price of the shares issued by the Company, in accordance with the effectiveness period of the stock options.

**e. if any other characteristic of the stock option was incorporated in the measurement of its fair value**

The Company understands that there are no other additional characteristics to be informed in this item. All material characteristics related to the Stock Option Plan and Compensation Plan are described and considered in this item, as well as in the previous items.

**8.16. Describe the contractual arrangements, insurance policies or other instruments that structure the compensation or indemnification mechanisms for the members of management in case of removal from office or retirement, indicating the financial consequences for the issuer**

At the Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company held on April 28, 2021, shareholders approved the amendment to the bylaws of the Company, to include an article expressly providing for the possibility of the Company entering into indemnity agreements with members of management, upon the prior approval of the Board of Directors, and provided that the minimum parameters set forth in the Bylaws are complied with.

On May 31, 2022, at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company, directors approved an indemnity policy providing for the general conditions of the indemnity commitments that may be entered into by the Company and members of management, including a standard draft of the indemnity agreement attached thereto.

The objective of the indemnity agreement is to indemnify and hold harmless the members of management, statutory committees and fiscal council, as well as other employees who hold management titles or perform management functions at the Company or its subsidiaries ("Beneficiaries"), in the event of any damage or loss effectively incurred by these individuals due to the regular performance of their functions. This indemnification is supplementary and is only payable after the use of the D&O insurance coverage.

Each Beneficiary must enter into the relevant indemnity agreement with the Company, and the indemnity commitment is subject to the maximum limit set forth in each agreement. Furthermore, the indemnity obligations do not include acts that have been practiced by any Beneficiary in disagreement with applicable law, the bylaws and the policies and codes of the Company, as well as in disagreement and/or non-compliance with the duties of members of management.

The full indemnity policy, as well as the indemnity agreement form attached thereto, is available at the website of the CVM and the IR website of the Company.
