Notice to the Market

Bradesco requests authorization to create

common shares ADRs Program

Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco”), in line with its continuous concern over adopting mechanisms to increase liquidity and thereby value its own shares, announces to its shareholders, customers, employees and the market in general that it plans to create an ADRs (American Depositary Receipt) Program backed by its common shares.

For that, a request was filed with the Central Bank of Brazil, on March 25, for authorization to create the ADRs Program backed by its common shares, on the American market, including an increase in the limit of foreign interest, currently set at 14% (fourteen percent), to (45%) (forty-five percent) in its common stock.

It is important to point out that the increase in the limit of foreign interest in its capital stock, as a result of the ADR Program, will not change corporate structure or the control of Bradesco and is focused on potential demand for the program.   

We point out that the listing of ADRs will only occur once all requirements have been complied with. Additional information will be disclosed to the market in due time, as the matter progresses.
