Material Fact

 

 

 

 

Banco Bradesco S.A. informs its shareholders and the market in general that its Board of Executive Officers, at a meeting held today, decided to submit to the Board of Directors, which will resolve in a meeting to be held on June 29, 2018, the payment of interim interest on shareholders’ equity related to the first half 2018, at the amount of R$1,212,000,000.00, consisting of R$0.172465322 per common share and R$0.189711854 per preferred share.

 

If the proposal is approved:

 

a)       the shareholders benefitted will be those of record on June 29, 2018 (date of the declaration), with the shares being traded "ex-right" on interim interest as of July 2, 2018; and  

 

b)    the payment will be made on July 16, 2018 based on the net amount of R$0.146595524 per common share and R$0.161255076 per preferred share, already deducting fifteen percent (15%) as withholding income tax, except for corporate shareholders who are exempt from said tax and will received the declared amount.

 

The interim interest on shareholders’ equity net of withholding income tax to be approved correspond to, approximately, 10 times the amount of interest on shareholders’ equity monthly paid and will be computed in the calculation of the mandatory dividends for the fiscal year, as provided in the bylaws.
