Subject: Request for clarification on news item

Dear Officer:

1.            We refer to the news item published on June 13, 2016 in the Valor Econômico newspaper, in the Finanças section, under the title “Herdeira do Bradesco processa Brandão e Trabuco” (Bradesco Heiress Sues Brandão and Trabuco), which contains the following statements:

Lia Maria Aguiar, heiress of Banco Bradesco’s founder, filed a civil liability suit against the main representatives of Cidade de Deus: Lázaro Brandão, the bank’s largest Shareholder and chairman of the Board of Directors, Antonio Bornia, another relevant partner, and Luiz Carlos Trabuco, the institution’s CEO.

In the lawsuit, filed in the 21^st Court of Justice of São Paulo, Lia challenges the purchase of 8% of Bradesco’s voting capital, which was held by Banco Espírito Santo (BES), in 2011, for almost R$3 billion. They are the targets of the action because they are the managers of the holding companies involved in the transaction, as Valor PRO anticipated on Friday.

The heiress, who has two sisters, holds 6.7% of Cidade de Deus Participações, the holding company that controls Bradesco with slightly less than 49% of the common shares. In her understanding, there was an undue transfer of this company’s wealth, in which she holds an interest, to another holding company.

Ms. Aguiar’s claim is that the Cidade de Deus Participações holding company financed the purchase of the shares held by BES, with shareholders’ dividends (including hers) that are recapitalized in the company.

However, the bank’s shares were acquired by another company, NCF. As a result, the benefits she obtained from the transaction were not proportional to the financing.

NCF joined Bradesco’s complex corporate chain just with this transaction, five years ago – although it had already been part of the control structure of Bradespar, the bank’s investment company.

In order to purchase Bradesco’s shares held by BES, NCF issued Debentures totaling R$2.3 billion at 107.5% of the CDI. This debt was paid in the following three years with funds in the form of loans and advance for future capital increase from Cidade de Deus, the company in which Ms. Aguiar is a minority shareholder.

Cidade de Deus lent to NCF at the CDI, with no additional fees. The debt is pending until today. Maturity was scheduled for March 2016, but, at the end of 2015, it was extended to 2018.

Although it paid for the entire purchase, Cidade de Deus holds less than 40% of the economic rights over NCF – the difference belongs to Fundação Bradesco. Therefore, when NCF distributes its results, Cidade de Deus Participações has the right to a percentage equivalent to its interest. The advance of funds was also not converted into an increase in interest.

[…]

Lia Maria Aguiar’s claim was due to the fact that the cash of Cidade de Deus Participações comes from the recapitalization of Shareholders’ dividends. Every year, shareholders are called to reinvest the proceeds. Those who do not follow this movement are gradually diluted – i.e. the share of dividends to which they are entitled is gradually reduced.

2.            In view of the above, we request that you clarify whether the information in question is true, and if so, why it was not disclosed through a Material Fact, as well as present any other relevant information regarding this matter.

3.            The Company’s response should be sent through the Sistema Empresa.NET via category: Notice to the Market, type Clarifications on CVM/BOVESPA Queries, subject: News Item, and should include a transcription of this Official Letter.

4.            We caution that, as determined by the Corporate Relations Department, in compliance with its legal duties and, based on clause II of Article 9 of Law 6,385/76 and CVM Instruction 452/07, a punitive fine in the amount of one thousand reais (R$1,000.00) will be applied, without prejudice to other administrative sanctions, due to non-compliance with the requirements in this letter within one (1) business day from the date of knowledge of the content of this letter, also sent by fax and e-mail, notwithstanding the sole paragraph of Article 6 of CVM Instruction 358/02.

Sincerely,

Document signed electronically by Nilza Maria Silva de Oliveira, Manager, on June 14, 2016, at 9:23 a.m., pursuant to Article 1, III, “b” of Law 11,419/2006.
