MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT In view of the news published on this date by the newspaper Valor Econômico, Sadia S.A. ("Company") gives the following clarifications to its shareholders and the market at large: Last August 3, the Company was informed, by a market agent, that unusual trading activities had been identified with respect to the securities issued by Perdigão S.A., during the three days before and the three days after the disclosure of the Public Offering Notice for the Acquisition of Perdigão S.A. shares, published on July 17, 2006 (the "Offer Notice"). In compliance with the duties of diligence and loyalty contemplated in Law No. 6404/76 and the applicable regulatory provisions, the Company reported that fact to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM") Superintendency of External Inspection and Superintendency of Company Relations in a letter dated August 4, 2006, for the appropriate measures. The Company also informs that it provided the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") with information about its administrators, shareholders, lawyers, banks and consultants who had access to the information on the Offer Notice prior to its disclosure to the market, as is customary in operations of this nature. In line with the principles of transparency and the best corporate governance practices that have always guided the Company's relations with its investors, the market and the pertinent authorities, Sadia S.A. management reaffirms its deep interest in the clarification of the facts and remains at the disposal of CVM and SEC to cooperate with the ongoing investigations about this matter.
