Material Fact

Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco) hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that its Board of Executive Officers, at a meeting held on this date, decided to submit to the appreciation of the Board of Directors, which will resolve at a meeting that will be held on December 21, 2016, a proposal for the payment of additional interest on shareholders’ equity to shareholders totaling R$1,491,000,000.00, being R$0.256721461 per common share and R$0.282393608 per preferred share. 

If the proposal is approved:

a)        shareholders of record on December 21, 2016 (declaration date) will be benefitted and the shares will be traded “ex-rights” to additional interest on shareholders’ equity as of December 22, 2016; and  

b)        the payment will be made on March 8, 2017 in the net amount of R$0.218213242  per common share and R$0.240034567 per preferred share, already net of 15% (fifteen percent) withholding income tax, except for the corporate shareholders that are exempt from said tax, who shall receive the declared amount.

The additional interest on shareholders’ equity, net of withholding income tax, to be approved represents, approximately, 15 times the amount of interest on shareholders’ equity paid monthly and will be included in the calculation of the annual mandatory dividends set forth in the bylaws.

Said interest on shareholders’ equity related to the shares held in custody by the BM&FBOVESPA – Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange will be paid to the BM&FBOVESPA, which will transfer it to the shareholders through the custody agents.

The table below shows the amounts paid and payable related to 2016:
