SENDAS ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO VOLUNTARILY DELIST ITS AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES FROM NYSE

However, the Company considers that maintaining a secondary listing on the NYSE is not currently beneficial, given that trading of the Company's common shares is predominantly concentrated (around 87%) on the Novo Mercado. The Delisting is in line with the Company's long-term strategy of maintaining efficient operations, given the low cost characteristic of the Company ("low-cost company").

Accordingly, the Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC in due course seeking to make the Delisting effective by January 9, 2025. The Company expects immediately following the Delisting, the ADSs will begin to trade over-the-counter. Thereafter, if and when the requirements are met, the Company will file a Form 15F with the SEC to deregister and terminate its disclosure obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company reserves the right, for any reason and at any time, to postpone or cancel the filings of Forms 25 and 15F or otherwise modify its plans with respect to this matter

Finally, the Company clarifies that: (i) its common shares will continue to be listed and admitted to trading in Brazil, on the Novo Mercado, which is its primary trading market, maintaining all periodic and occasional disclosures required by applicable Brazilian regulations; and (ii) committed to high standards of governance, even after the effectiveness 2 of the Delisting and the deregistration with SEC, the Company will voluntarily maintain its current corporate governance practices.

The Company will keep its shareholders and the market in general informed of any material updates regarding the matters mentioned herein.
