NOTICE TO THE MARKET

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição ("GPA" or "Company"), pursuant to Law No. 6, CVM No. 44/21, hereby informs its shareholders and the market, in continuity to the material fact disclosed on October 16^th, 2023, that, on this date, Almacenes Éxito S.A. ("Éxito") disclosed a material fact¹ regarding the statement published from the Financial Superintendence of Colombia ("SFC") regarding the tender offers to be launched by Grupo Calleja in Colombia and in the United States of America for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Éxito, subject to the acquisition of at least 51% of the shares ("TO").

According to its statement, the SFC² was informed that it has received the request by Grupo Calleja for the TO. As a result, trading of Éxito's shares on the Colombian stock exchange will be suspended trading as of the notice of launching of the TO is disclosed. Éxito highlights that trading of Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDRs) on the São Paulo Stock Exchange ("B3"), and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") will not be suspended.

As informed to shareholders and the market, GPA entered into a pre-agreement with Grupo Calleja for the sale of GPA's total remaining equity interest in Éxito, corresponding to 13.31% of Éxito's capital stock, within the scope of the TO. The value of the TO, considering all shares of Éxito, is of US$1,175 million, equivalent to US$0.9053 per share, of which US$156 million (corresponding to R$790 million on October 16^th, 2023) corresponds to GPA's equity interest.

The launching of the TO is subject to SFC approval and the necessary filings before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. GPA believes that the settlement of the TO should occur around year end.

GPA will keep the market and its shareholders informed of any new facts related to these matters.

São Paulo, November 6, 2023.

Vice-President of Finance and Investor Relations Officer
