IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS AND ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING UNDER THE US FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, SINCE THE ISSUER IS LOCATED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, AND SOME OR ALL OF ITS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY BE RESIDENTS OF A FOREIGN COUNTRY. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUE A FOREIGN COMPANY OR ITS OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS IN A FOREIGN COURT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE US SECURITIES LAWS. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO COMPEL A FOREIGN COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES TO SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO A US COURT'S JUDGMENT.

COMPANHIA BRASILEIRA DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO (“Offeror”) hereby announces that on December 22, 2009 it obtained the registration for the public offer (“Tender Offer”) for the acquisition of 100% of the common shares issued by GLOBEX UTILIDADES S.A. (“Target Company”), in view of (i) the sale of control of the Target Company, in accordance with article 254-A of Law 6,404 of December 15, 1976, and, cumulatively, (ii) the increase in the Offeror’s stake in the Target Company voting capital, in accordance with article 4, paragraph 6 of the Brazilian Corporation Law. The Tender Offer will be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Instruction 361 issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) on March 5, 2002 (“Instruction 361”).

Pursuant to article 24, item I of Instruction 361, the Offeror informs that the holders of outstanding shares of the Target Company have 15 (fifteen) days from today to request the Company to call a meeting of holders of outstanding shares. This request has to be substantiated and must contain elements demonstrating a failure or inaccuracy in the calculation methodology or in appraisal criteria adopted in the appraisal report of the shares issued by the Target Company (“Appraisal Report”). The Appraisal Report is available in the CVM’s IPE information system.

The Tender Offer price is R$7.5850 per share issued by the Target Company, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Tender Offer statement, corresponding to 80% (eighty percent) of the price paid in the acquisition of control of the Target Company, updated in accordance with the orientation of the CVM.
