The shareholders or group of shareholders who wish to propose another slate to run for

The minimum percentage of participation in the capital required to request the adoption of the

multiple voting process for the election of the members of the Board of Directors is five percent

(5%) of the Company’s capital. This option may only be exercised by the shareholders if the

The information related to the candidates indicated by the company’s management, as

established by article 10, item I, of ICVM 481 (items 12.5 to 12.10 of Annex 24 of ICVM 480), was

provided in Annex IV to the Proposal.

6. Installation of the Fiscal Council.

The Management proposes that the Fiscal Council should be installed, with a term of 1 (one)

year, until the Annual General Meeting of 2021.

The Fiscal Council should be composed of 3 (three) up to 5 (five) members, so that the

Company's shareholders shall nominate one or more candidates for the election of members of

the Fiscal Council. Such indication must be accompanied by the information related to the

candidates provided for in article 10, item I of ICVM 481 (items 12.5 to 12.10 of Annex 24 of

7. Establishment of the limit for the overall remuneration of directors.

The Management proposes that the global remuneration of the administrators, to be paid in

the fiscal year 2020, be fixed at the annual amount of up to forty-seven million, one hundred

and thirty eight thousand, five hundred and seventy-one Brazilian Reais (BRL 47,138,571.00),

adjusted monthly by the IGP-DI, which, plus the amount of up to twenty-one million, three

hundred and twelve thousand and sixty Brazilian Reais (BRL 21,312,060.00), referring to

expenses associated with the recognition of the fair value of the stock options granted by the

Company, in a total of sixty-eight million, four hundred and fifty thousand, six hundred and

thirty-one Brazilian Reais (BRL 68,450,631.00), for administrators.

The necessary information for the proper analysis of the proposal regarding the compensation

10

We also inform that, at the Annual General Meeting held in 2019, a global limit was approved

for the remuneration of directors in the amount of seventy-one million, three hundred and

twenty thousand, eight hundred and seventy-six three Brazilian Reais (BRL 71,320,873.00),

having actually paid the total annual amount of sixty-three million, two hundred and twenty-

seven thousand, five hundred and twenty-three Brazilian Reais (BRL 63,227,523.00). The

difference between the approved limit and the amount actually paid to the account of the global

compensation attributed to the managers is mainly due to the amounts paid as variable

remuneration and the number of administrators, which is linked to specific performance goals

of the managers and the Company, which have not been fully achieved.

8. Establishment of the limit for the overall remuneration of the fiscal council.

The Management proposes that the remuneration of the fiscal councilors corresponds to the

legal minimum, so that the remuneration of each member in exercise of the Fiscal Council will

correspond to ten percent of the average remuneration attributed to each Director, not

counting benefits, representation fees and profit sharing.

3.2. Matters to be resolved in the Extraordinary General Meeting

1. Amendment to the Company’s Bylaws

a) Corporate Purpose

The Management proposes that the Company's Bylaws to be amended, as detailed in Annexes

VI and VII to the Management Proposal, to include new items, remaining the original basic

activity unchanged, in addition to update the Company's commitments related to governance

and sustainability, aligned with the practices already disclosed to the market, with a view to

obtaining certification in System B.

The inclusion in the corporate purpose referred to in the previous paragraph, since it does not

represent a substantial change in the corporate purpose, but merely an addition to

complementary activities or integrated to those already developed by the Company, does not

entail the right of withdrawal provided for in article 137 of Brazilian Corporate Law (Lei das S.A).

b) Company’s Management

The Management proposes that the Company's Bylaws to be amended, as per detailed in

Attachments VI and VII, updating the Company's management commitments related to

governance and sustainability, aligned with the practices already disclosed to the market, aiming

to become a Certified B corporation. In addition, it proposes to change the number of members

of the board of directors and to create the position of CEO, persuing to adapt the structure of

the board to support the growth challenges established for the Americanas Universe -

“everything, all the time, anywhere".
