Dear Sirs:
We hereby inform you that on May 1st, 2013 Casino Guichard?Perrachon and its subsidiaries Segisor e Sudaco Pariticipações Ltda. ("Casino") submitted a counter?claim against Mr. Abilio Dos Santos Diniz on the arbitration procedure ICC 19165/CA. ongoing before the International Chamber of Commerce ? ICC, seeking, among other things, a declaration that Mr. Diniz's election as Chairman of the Board of Brasil Foods S.A. ("BRF"), without resigning as Chairman of the CBD Board conflicts with CBD's interests in violation of Brazilian law and the shareholders' agreements between the parties. Casino also requested confirmation that Casino may take steps to protect CBD's interests in conformity with the shareholders' agreement, without prejudice to any measure that may be taken by CBD in the meantime.
Casino will keep the Company informed of any related material events or facts that may occur in relation to this matter, and hereby requires the management to publicly disclose the entire content of this letter prior to the beginning of trading on BM&FBOVESPA on the date hereof, for the purposes of ensuring that the market operates with adequate information.
Sincerely,
