SUBJECT:             Request for Clarifications on News Article

Mr. Officer,

1.                                          In reference to news article published on June 9, 2015, in REUTERS media, under the headline Cade introduces lawsuit against banks on practices against free competition, whose content is transcribed bellow:

“The Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Administrative Council of Economic Defense) (Cade) introduced lawsuit against Itaú Unibanco, Caixa Econômica Federal, Santander Brasil, Bradesco, Banrisul and Banco de Brasília banks under the antitrust law 12,529/2011.

According to the order published in the Official Gazette on Tuesday, the investigation refers to article 36 of the law, which mentions violation of economic order which would restrict, distort or in any way harm free competition or free enterprise.

Due to the lack of evidence of violation to the economic order, the General Superintendence of the Cade suggested archiving the administrative inquiry against Banestes, Banese, Banpará and HSBC banks.”

2.                                          In this regard, we ask you: (i) to confirm whether the Company has been already notified by CADE; and (ii) to notify the measures adopted or that the Company intends to adopt with regard to the subject.    

3.                                          Such manifestation must occur through the Empresa.NET System, category: Notice to the Market, type: Clarifications on CVM/BOVESPA Requests, subject: News Published in the Media, which shall include the transcript of this official letter.

4.                                          We emphasize that, in accordance with article 3 of CVM Instruction No. 358/02, it is incumbent on the Investor Relations Officer to disclose and communicate CVM and, if appropriate, the stock exchange and over-the-counter market entity where the securities issued by the company are admitted to trading, any material act or fact occurred or related to its businesses, as well as to ensure its wide and immediate dissemination at the same time in all the markets where such securities are admitted to trading.

5.                                          We still remind you of the obligation set forth in the sole paragraph of art. 4 of CVM Instruction No. 358/02, of inquiring the managers and controlling shareholders of the Company, in order to ascertain whether they would have knowledge of information that should be disclosed to the market.

6.                                          We bring to your mind that, for proper legal purposes, the non-compliance with the information request, within 1 business day, shall subject the Company, based on item II, of article 9, of Law No 6,385/1976, and article 7, combined with article 9, of CVM Instruction No. 452/2007, to application of coercive fine in the amount of R$1,000.00 (one thousand reais), without prejudice to any determination of responsibility for noncompliance.
