São Paulo, April 6, 2010.

THE BOARD OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COMMITTEE PROPOSAL

Dear Shareholders: The Board of Executive Officers of COMPANHIA BRASILEIRA DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO (“Company”), pursuant to the provisions in the “Goodwill Amortization Structure and Schedule Agreement” executed by the members of the Diniz family (per se and by its affiliates) and Casino, with the Company’s intervention, on June 22, 2005 and amended on September 28, 2006 (“Goodwill Agreement”), and after the analysis of the Management Report and the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, proposes the General Meeting the increase in the Company’s capital stock in the amount of R$ 83,908,229.25, by means of the capitalization of the goodwill special reserve portion, in the amount equivalent to the effective income tax amount no longer collected by the Company in calendar year 2009 due to the goodwill amortization paid by the Casino Group in the acquisition of its respective investment in the Company.

As provided for by the Goodwill Agreement , 20% of the total increase amount, that is, R$ 16,781,645.85 will be capitalized without the issue of new shares, benefiting all shareholders and 80% of the total increase amount, that is, R$ 67,126,583.40 will be capitalized in benefit of the Company’s controlling shareholder, Wilkes Participações S.A., joint-stock company duly incorporated and existing in accordance with the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, headquartered in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil, at Av. Brigadeiro Luis Antônio, 3126, and registered under Corporate Taxpayer’s ID the National Registration of Legal Entities (CNPJ/MF) 04.745.350/0001 -38 (“Wilkes”), pursuant to Article 7, caput of CVM Rule 319/99, by means of the issue of new preferred shares Class A. This amount is R$ 18.51 less than the R$ 67,126,583.40 stated in the Call Notice of the Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on April 29, 2010, which corresponds to that part of the capital increase to be capitalized on behalf of the Company’s controlling shareholder. Said difference of R$ 18.51 will be added to the amount of R$ 16,781,645.85 which will be capitalized for the benefit of all shareholders, totaling therefore R$ 16,781,664.36.

The Company’s shareholders will be granted the preemptive right, pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 171 of Law 6,404/76. Should any shareholder decide to exercise the preemptive right, the amounts paid by the shareholder will be directly delivered to Wilkes. The preemptive right shall be exercised within thirty (30) consecutive days, as of the publication of a Notice to Shareholders informing on the start of such a term.

The issue price was determined based on the weighted average of the fifteen (15) trading sessions prior to the publication of the first Call Notice of the General Meeting which will discuss the proposed capital increase, in accordance with item III of paragraph 1 of Article 170 of Law 6,404/76 (as amended), corresponding therefore to R$ 60.39 per preferred share. Thus, 1,111,551 preferred Company shares will be issued, totaling R$ 67,126,564.89.

Thus, in view of the approval of (i) the Management Proposal to capitalize the Expansion Reserve and Profit Retention Reserve based on the Capital Budgeting, resulting in the increase of Company’s capital stock dated on April 6, 2010; and (ii) the present Proposal by Shareholders, the Company’s capital stock will be R$ 5,547,450,040.57, divided into 256,178,272 shares with no par value, of which 99,679,851 are common shares and 149,800,482 are preferred shares Class A and 6,697,939 are preferred shares Class B. Subsequently, the caput of Article 4 of the Company’s Bylaws will become effective with the following wording:

“ARTICLE 4 - The Company’s Capital Stock is R$ 5,547,450,040.57 (five billion, five hundred forty seven million, four hundred and fifty thousands, forty reais and fifty seven cents) entirely paid in and divided into 256,178,272 (two hundred and fifty six million, one hundred and seventy eight thousands, two hundred and seventy two) shares with no par value, of which 99,679,851 (ninety-nine million, six hundred and seventy-nine thousand, eight hundred and fifty-one) are common shares, 149,800,482 (one hundred and forty nine million, eight hundred thousands and four hundred and eight two) are preferred shares Class A and 6,697,939 (six million, six hundred and ninety seven thousands and nine hundred and thirty nine) are preferred shares Class B.”

The Members of the Company’s Management attending the Meeting will be entitled to render all the information deemed as convenient and necessary by the Shareholders for their decision making process. This is the proposal we have to present, to which we expect the due approval.

10. EXECUTIVE REPORT – MANAGEMENT REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF THE FINANCIAL POSITION AND OPERATING RESULT OF THE COMPANY

10.1. Comments of the Executive Officers on:

(a) Overall financial position

The operating and financial information of our Company presented hereunder address the implications that emerged from the acquisition of Globex Utilidades S.A. (“Globex” or “Ponto Frio”) in July 2009.

We understand that our Company enjoys a financial position that is adequate to support our capital expansion and investment plans, as well as to meet liquidity requirements and satisfy our short- and long-term liabilities. Notwithstanding, our position may be influenced by certain situations beyond our control, such as the growth and stability of the Brazilian economy.

In addition to fulfilling most of our goals in 2009, which attests to the soundness of our business plan and activities, our opinion on our Company’s financial position is supported by the following economic and financial premises drawn from our consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2009:

Gross sales of R$26,223 million and net sales of R$23,254.2 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 25.7% and 29%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.
Gross profit of R$5,760.4 million and a gross margin of 24.8%;
Total operating expenses reached 18.3% of net sales, and R$ 4,259.3 million in the aggregate;
EBITDA of R$ 1,501.1 million, with an EBITDA margin of 6.5%;
Net debt (net financial debt) of R$ 703.1 million, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.47x; and
Net shareholders’ equity of R$6,559.5 million, representing an increase compared to last year’s net shareholders’ equity of R$ 5.407,7. Thus, the net debt to net shareholders’ equity ratio was 10.7% .

(b) Capital structure and potential stock redemption

We understand that our current capital structure, evaluated primarily by the net debt to EBITDA ratio, reflects a degree of leverage in agreement with the Company’s policy that calls for a net financial debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 1.

The chart below indicates our capital structure as of December 31, 2009:



(R$ million)

Total debt		3,047.3
Cash		2,344.2
Net financial debt		703.1
Net debt to EBITDA		0.47x
Net debt to shareholders’ equity		10.7%


	Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

There is no potential redemption of stock issued by the Company.

(c) Ability to repay debts

As of December 31, 2009, our EBITDA was R$1,501.1 million, and our interest expenses were R$536.3 million. Accordingly, our EBITDA to interest coverage ratio was 2.80 x relating to our financial expenses for the year ended on December 31, 2009.

The figures above show that our cash flow, in addition to our currently available funds, reflect a strong ability to repay debt and enable the Company to satisfactorily meet its short- and long-term financial liabilities.

(d) Financing of working capital and investments on non-current asset used by the Company

We raise funds in a number of ways, such as by: (A) finance arrangements comprised by (i) loans denominated in Brazilian reais with repayment obligation and accruing interest at the DI rate; (ii) loans denominated in foreign currency, which loans are immediately swapped in full for other liabilities denominated in reais and accruing interest at the DI rate (full swap transactions); and (iii) loans obtained from the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (”BNDES”), some of which are denominated in reais and some others tied to a foreign currency basket (these loans are also swapped for liabilities denominated in reais and accruing interest at the DI rate), plus per annum interest; and (B) funds raised in the capital market through the issue of debentures and securitization transactions.

We did not face any difficulties in obtaining loans or refinancing our current debts in 2009. As of December 31, 2009, we did not make any facility arrangements other than existing loan agreements entered with the BNDES. For detailed information on agreements entered into by the Company and the BNDES, please see item (f) below, “Relevant Loan and Financing Agreements”.

(e) Financing of working capital and investments on non-current assets that the Company intends to use for covering liquidity shortcomings

Please see item (d) above for more information on the financing of working capital and investments on non-current assets that the Company intends to use for covering any liquidity shortcomings.

* Weighted Average Rate

BNDES

The facility obtained from the BNDES accrues interest based on the TJLP rate plus an annual interest rate component. In the event the TJLP exceeds 6% p.a., the percentage by which the actual rate exceeds the 6% is compounded to the principal outstanding balance. We also have loans indexed to a basket of foreign currencies, in addition to the relevant charges that are accrued to the outstanding balance plus annual interest, that are also swapped for other liabilities accruing interest rate based on the variation of the DI rate. Loans are repaid in monthly installments after a relevant grace period as detailed below.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had three (3) loan agreements with BNDES in force that were made on November 14, 2003; May 22, 2007; and July 2, 2009, respectively. The first of these loans was indexed to the foreign currency basket, while the other two accrued interest at the TJLP rate. On December 31, 2009, the total balance relative to all foregoing agreements was equivalent to approximately R$112 million.

In addition to complying with certain regulations issued by the BNDES, namely Resolution No. 665/87 (Policy Regarding Provisions Applicable to BNDES Agreements) and Resolution No. 660/87 (Follow-Up Policy and Standards), we are also required to meet certain financial ratios (as per our debt covenants) computed based on our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting standards used in Brazil, including: (i) maintaining a shareholders’ equity to total asset ratio greater than, or equal to 0.4 ¹; and (ii) maintaining a liquidity ratio (current assets/current liabilities) greater than, or equal to 1.05. Our Management effectively controls and follows up on the compliance with such debt covenants. As of December 31, 2009, our shareholders’ equity to total asset ratio was 0.37% and the liquidity ratio was 1.37% . Our parent company provides surety in the loans obtained from the BNDES and is jointly and severally liable until all relevant loans are repaid.

Net Sales Revenue

Our net sales revenue increased by 29.0%, from R$18,033.1 million in 2008 to R$23,254.2 million in 2009.

One highlight among the drivers that contributed to the increase in our net sales revenues in 2009 is the acquisition of Ponto Frio in July 2009. This transaction, in addition to strengthening our position within non-food related industries, also enabled the Company to capture gains in terms of market share and consolidate the sales foundations introduced in our daily operations since 2008, namely, assortment, pricing, communication and customer service.

Gross Income


	Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Our gross income went up from R$4,753.6 million in 2008 to R$5,760.4 million in 2009. Although our gross margin was negatively affected by 160 basis points in 2009, our gross income increased 21.2% . This drop in the gross margin resulted a number of situations: (i) effects of an expanded tax substitution regime beginning in 2008 that changed the way the ICMS is levied, particularly in the State of São Paulo, causing an increase in the cost of goods and in net revenues to the extent that now the ICMS ceased to be levied in the sales tax line and was included in the cost of goods sold; and (ii) effect of an increased participation of Assai and of consumer electronics selling at lower margins than food products, however contributing to a larger average ticket.

Furthermore, the Company implemented a strategy to expand its participation in new businesses and grow in a sustainable manner, with continued expense monitoring and investments in terms of price competitiveness, where more competitive prices are offset by leveraging sales but allow for gains in terms of cash margins.

Operating revenues (expenses)

The total operating revenue of the Company increased 24.1%, up from R$3,431.1 million in 2008 to R$4,259.3 million in 2009. Measured as a percentage of net sales, expenses reached 18.3% in 2009, a year-over-year reduction of 70 basis points. This is the smallest expense level ever recorded by our Group, and is a result of continued expense monitoring.

It is important to highlight that in 2008 our total operating expense was affected by restructuring costs in the amount of R$23 million (before deduction of taxes). If this amount was disregarded in the 2008 calculation, the total operating expenses of the Company in 2009 would have shown a pro-forma increase of 25.0% compared to 2008 figures.

Financial revenues (expenses)

Net financial revenues decreased 10.2%, down from financial expenses of R$316.8 million in 2008 to expenses of R$284.6 million in 2009. This decrease was due to the effect of mark to market accounting and updated assets/liabilities that exceeded gains with lower interest rates (DI rate) and the net debt in the period.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciations and amortizations totaled R$454.0 million in 2009, a decrease of 24.9% versus the R$604.7 million recorded in 2008. This variation measured resulted primarily from the accounting standard harmonization process introduced by Law No. 11,638/07, which law mandated that goodwill ceased to be amortized as of January 1, 2009.

Operating income

The operating income of the Company increased 63.9%, up from R$393.0 million in 2008 to R$644.2 million in 2009. This was a result of the following: (i) increase of 29.0% in net sales revenues; (ii) increase of 31.7% in costs of goods and/or services sold; and (iii) increase of 24.1% in operating expenses.

Income tax


Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Expenses with the income tax of the Company decreased from R$111.0 million to R$6.4 million in 2009. The reduced tax expense resulted essentially from (i) deferred income tax credit derived from past tax losses of Globex; and (ii) non-taxable revenues and expenses.

Net income

As described above, the Company’s net income increased 127.2%, from R$260.4 million in 2008 to R$591.6 million in 2009. It is important to note that, in 2008, the net income was impacted by restructuring expenses incurred in the first quarter of the year, in an aggregate amount of R$17.2 million. Even with the incorporation provided for in the recent Law No. 11,638/07, the net income in 2008 was affected by the amortization of goodwill in the amount of R$112.6 million. Similarly, in 2009 the Company's net income was affected by non-recurring events in the amount of R$50.6 million. Accounting for the impacts of such events, the Company’s net income reached R$642.2 million in 2009, a pro-forma increase of 56.0% in relation to 2008 figures.

10.2. Comments of the Executive Officers on:

(a) Results of operations, especially: (i) discussion of any relevant components of the Company’s revenues; and (ii) drivers materially affecting the Company’s operating income (loss)

The Company’s gross revenues increased 25.7% in 2009, being:

• 66.9%, or R$17,544.3 million, derived from sales of food-related products; and

• 33.1%, or R$8,678.8 million, derived from sales of non-food products.


Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Thus, 66.9% of the Company’s gross operating income derived from sales of food-related products, and 75.7% in 2008. Revenue tax totaled R$2,968.8 million, or approximately 11.3% of our gross operating income.

The Company also increased its market share, especially in sales of non-food products, which also increased over 13.5% in same store sales.

Moreover, the Company strengthened its position in the non-food product segment with two significant initiatives: the acquisition of the Ponto Frio chain in June 2009, and the joint venture agreement signed with Casa Bahia in December 2009. The goal of these two transactions is to improve the Company’s complementary position in the durable goods market by serving consumers of different social strata. The Company significantly increased its activities in this segment, is leveraging synergies and aiming at excellence in service to offer a number of advantages to consumers in 2010.

One highlight among the drivers that enhanced the Company’s performance is the consolidation of sales foundations introduced in our daily operations during 2008, namely, assortment, pricing, communication and customer service.

(b) Changes in revenues due to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, volume procurement, and the introduction of new products and services

The Company’s financial situation and the income (loss) of its business is tied to Brazilian macroeconomics and drivers such as unemployment rate, availability of consumer credit and increasing average wages.

The Company’s operating expenses, as well as all of its cash expenses (in other words, expenses other than depreciation and amortization), are incurred in reais and change according to the inflation in Brazil. In this respect, any increase of interest rates and inflation may influence the prices of products sold in Company’s stores. On the other hand, the Company negotiates large volumes with its suppliers, thus reducing its exposition to the aforementioned changing drivers. Thus, the Company’s revenues and expenses were not significantly influenced by the foregoing drivers.

(c) Impact of inflation, changes in prices of our key supplies and products, exchange and interest rates on the Company's operating income

In addition to paragraph (b) above, we believe that the devaluation or appreciation of real against the U.S. dollar has, and will have, an impact on the Company’s income (loss) derived from import transactions, which transactions accounted for 3.5% of our sales in 2009.

The Company’s net financial revenues were significantly affected in 2009 on account of the effect of mark to market accounting and the updating of assets/liabilities that exceeded any gains derived from lower interest rates (DI rate) and the net debt in the period.

10.3. Comments of the Executive Officers on the potential impact of the events below on the company’s financial statements and income (loss)

(a) Introduction or divestment of businesses


	Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

No introduction or divestment of any businesses has had, or is expected to have, a significant impact on the Company’s financial statement or bottom line. On the other hand, the Company increased its participation in the non-food product retail industry through the acquisition of Globex and entering into a joint venture agreement with Casa Bahia, as further described in item (b) below.

(b) Constitution, acquisition or sale of equity interests

Non-food retail industry – Globex and Casa Bahia

The Company strengthened its position in the non-food retail industry in 2009 with the following key initiatives: the acquisition of Globex in July and the entering into a joint venture agreement with Casa Bahia in December. These initiatives will ensure the Company’s complementary position in the durable goods market by serving consumers of different social strata. The Company’s expertise in such industry is expected to increase through leveraging synergies and excellence-driven customer service to offer a number of advantages to consumers in 2010, such as improved product assortment, competitive prices and access to credit.

Although bottom-line figures at Globex are far from what is expected by the Company, the transaction is being successfully implemented on the expected timeframe. Moreover, negative trends seen in early 2009 were reverted and there has been a strong rebound in sales. The synergies captured so far exceeded the initial expectations and have shown advantages in several areas: IT, logistics, marketing, procurement and also in access to credit. The resolution to strengthen the participation of the Company in the non-food segment is part of the strategic guidelines introduced in 2007 by the Company’s board of directors. Furthermore, recent studies show the importance and the growth potential of the non-food market in Brazil.

Our businesses in the non-food retail segment will be further reinforced through the integration and segmentation of e-commerce transactions of Ponto Frio (www.pontofrio.com.br) and Extra (www.extra.com.br).

Cash & Carry – Assaí Chain

In July 25, 2009 the Company acquired a holding equivalent to the remaining 40% of the controlling interest of Assaí. This transaction resulted in the Company becoming the indirect holder of all shares of the capital stock of Barcelona, which in turn owns the Assaí chain, thus increasing the Company’s footprint in the food retail industry’s cash&carry segment. Barcelona was already an indirect subsidiary of the Company through Sé Supermercados.

In view of the foregoing and considering the growth potential of the consumption power of classes C and D, we expect that the improved Company's footprint in the cash&carry sales segment of the food retail industry will have a positive, significant impact on the Company's financial statement and bottom line.

(c) Unusual events or transactions

There has been no unusual event or transaction.

10.4. Comments of the Executive Officers on:


Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

(a) Significant changes in accounting standards

With the enactment of Law No. 11,638/07 and Law No. 11,941/09 on December 28, 2007, and May 27, 2009, respectively, several rules related to the reporting of consolidated financial data of companies subject to the Brazilian Corporate Law were changed. The main goal of said changes was to update the Brazilian corporate laws and make BR GAAP consistent with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards).

Thus, as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company is required to comply with new legal requirements related to preparation and reporting of financial statements.

(b) Significant implications as a result of changes to accounting standards

In accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 01, issued by the Accounting Standards Board, as of January 2009 any goodwill derived from acquisition will cease to be amortized. Accordingly, said goodwill will now be subject to an impairment test. For 2009, the result of applying the new standards resulted in an amount of R$112.6 million.

(c) Qualifications and key concerns of the independent auditor’s opinion

There have been no qualifications or key concerns in the independent auditor’s opinion on the financial statements of the Company for fiscal years ended on December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The independent auditor’s opinion on the financial statements for fiscal year ended on December 31, 2007, includes, however, a paragraph emphasizing the cash flow and the added value statements referring to the years ended on December 31, 2007 and 2006, which were presented as supplementary information on our Company and subsidiaries, are not a mandatory integral part of the basic financial statements, pursuant to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. This independent auditor’s opinion also informs that the cash flow and the added value statements were submitted to the same auditing procedures described in paragraph 2(e) of the respective report, and, therefore, according to the independent auditors’ opinion and based on the opinion of other independent auditors mentioned in the first paragraph of the opinion, these are duly presented, in all its material aspects, with regard to the financial statements as a whole.

The independent auditor’s opinion for the financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2008, includes a paragraph emphasizing that as a result of the change in the accounting practices adopted in Brazil in 2008, the financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2007, presented for purposes of comparability, were adjusted and are represented pursuant to NPC 12 – Accounting Practices, Accounting Changes and Estimates, and Error Correction.

10.5. Comments of the Executive Officers on the adoption of critical accounting standards, especially with regard to accounting estimates made by the management concerning uncertain, relevant concerns having an impact of the financial position and bottom line that require subjective or complex judgment, such as: provisions, contingencies, revenue recognition, tax credits, long- lived assets, life of non-current assets, pension plans, exchange currency conversion adjustments, environmental recovery costs, asset recovery test criteria and financial instruments


	Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Management endeavors to report the Company’s financial information in plain, understandable fashion. However, due to the complexity of accounting and reporting standards it may not be possible to attain the desired clarity as the Company is required to employ accounting jargon when preparing and reporting its financial information.

With regard to the preparation of the Company’s financial reports for fiscal years ended on December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, we employed certain premises and variable elements drawn from past experience and several other criteria, both objective and subjective, which we deemed reasonable and relevant. As a result, the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates relative to the life of fixed and intangible assets; allowance for doubtful accounts; allowance for inventory losses; Provision for investment losses; recovery of the value of fixed and intangible assets; expected realization of deferred income tax and social contribution; rates and time intervals applied in determining the present value adjustment for certain assets and liabilities; provision for contingencies; measurement of the amount of benefits paid under stock option plans and the fair value of financial instruments; and estimates for reporting the sensitivity analysis chart of financial instruments as per Statement No. 475, dated December 17, 2008, of the CVM.

In order to better adapt to the foregoing, we review premises, variable elements and estimates at least on a quarterly basis. Although these are reviewed during the ordinary course of business, the ongoing analysis of the Company’s operating and financial position often requires that we take decisions on certain inherently uncertain matters that relate to the carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from estimates based on different premises or variables. Below is a summary of the accounting policy regarding such judgments made by the Management, together with an explanation of any premises and variables upon which said policies are drawn:

Inventories and payments made by suppliers

Inventories are accounted for by the least of the cost or market price, and any losses occurred during the reporting period are recorded and accounted for.

The Company received payment from suppliers under several programs, mainly those related to volume purchase incentives, warehousing allowances and refunds made under certain programs, such as price reduction, margin protection and publicity. Suppliers extend bonuses and volume-driven price discounts in the form of zero-cost product inventory replenishment and the benefit is recognized as any additional products are sold. Discounts and bonuses in cash are deemed product price reductions and recorded as reduction in the cost of goods sold. Considerable all cash payments made by suppliers are recorded as reduction in the relevant cost item and recognized in the income stament when certain conditions are met and inventory is sold. When the payment received by the Company is for services provided to the supplier, any amounts are accounted for as other income, and, when any such payment is by way of reimbursement for expenses incurred in the sale of products owned by the supplier, amounts are accounted for as reduction of such expenses.

Leases

We estimate the expected lease term of our stores taking into account the exercise of lease term extention options at the Company's sole discretion. Lease terms are used in determining whether premises are leased under financial or operating leases, and also the rent expense through the linear method. Furthermore, the useful life of leasehold improvements is limited by the lease term or useful life of the group to which that item belongs, by both or by the least between them.

Evaluation of long-lived assets

According to BR GAAP, pursuant to accounting standards issued by the CPC and approved by CVM and the Federal Accounting Board, CPC Statement No. 1 Asset Impairment, approved by CVM Resolution No. 527, dated November 1, 2007 (“CVM Resolution No. 527/07"), is intended to set forth procedures to ensure that assets are not accounted for a value exceeding the amount that can be recovered through the use of that asset in the ordinary business of the entity, or through any disposal thereof.

Each year we perform tests to see whether there is any evidence that the Company’s assets, or group of assets, are reduced in value. In case evidence of reduction is detected, we run an evaluation and account for any impairment determined.

Goodwill and business combinations

According to BR GAAP, goodwill is the difference between the amount paid for and the carrying value, according to BR GAAP (typically the calculation basis) of net assets acquired. Generally, goodwill typically comes from the difference between the carrying value and the market value of assets acquired, or explained based on the expected future profitability, and is amortized linearly over the remaining life of the asset, or within ten years. Any goodwill occurring in a subsidiary that has been recently merged into its controlling parent is reassigned to intangible assets. As of 2009, in accordance with CPC Statement No. 1 Asset Impairment, as approved by CVM Resolution No. 527/07, and with CPC Statement No. 4 Intangible Assets, as approved by CVM Statement No. 553, dated November 12, 2008, goodwill balances will cease to be amortized but be subject to yearly impairment tests.

Deferred tax

According to BR GAAP, the Company determines and pays for income tax based on the income statement as required by the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax asset and liabilities are accounted for based on the difference between the book value shown in the financial statement and the taxable basis of such assets and liabilities.

Furthermore, the deferred tax asset is recorded when its recoverability is deemed likely to occur, however limited to the amount of assets that will be recovered over the next ten years against the present value of the estimated taxable income. We are required to make meaningful estimates and assumptions on future taxable income for the purpose of making such reviews. In order to determine the future taxable income, we need to estimate future taxable revenues and deducible revenues, which revenues are subject to a number of different external and internal drivers, such as economic and industry trends, interest rates, changes in the Company's business strategies and the kind of services provided to the market. The application of different assumptions and estimates may significantly alter the Company's financial statements.

10.6. Comments of the Executive Officers comments on internal controls implemented for reliable financial reporting


	Reference Form – Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

(a) Effectiveness of internal controls; issues and actions taken to correct such issues

It is the responsibility of the Management to establish and maintain effective internal controls for the purpose of preparing and reporting financial information. Internal controls afford reasonable guarantees to the Company’s board of directors that financial statements are being prepared and reported in adequate manner.

Upon reviewing Company controls related to financial statement preparation and reporting procedures at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Management concluded for the effectiveness of such controls and procedures in providing a reasonable degree of guarantee that the financial information required to be disclosed in forms and reports filed or submitted in accordance with the applicable law and regulations, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeframes set forth in forms and guidelines of the CVM, collected and reported to the Management in order to allow sound decisions to be made with regard to the required preparation and reporting of financial information and statements.

Also worth mentioning is the key role of the Company’s audit committee in reviewing our internal control systems and, more generally, reviewing the Company’s audit, accounting and management practices through discussions with the Management, carrying out internal audits and providing support to external audit works.

Lastly, the Company employs the services of accounting and auditing firm Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S. for the purpose of carrying out specific audit of its internal controls.

We plan to make an investment of approximately R$5 billion in Brazil over the next three years (2010-2012), which is the Company’s largest single three-year investment plan. This plan represents an increase of 70% relative to the amount invested in the previous three-year period (2007-2009), which was R$2.9 billion (including acquisitions). The aforementioned amount of R$5 billion includes the opening of approximately 300 new stores until 2012 (representing an average increase between 8% to 9% of sales area each year), as well as investments in renovation of existing stores, purchase of strategic property to support the Company’s growth over the next years, infrastructure, IT and logistics. In 2010 alone the Company intends to open approximately 100 new stores focusing on Extra Fácil (quick-shop stores), Extra Supermercado and Assaí (cash&carry) formats. Furthermore, we plan to continue investing in gas stations and drugstores. Our investment plan reflects our positive expectations in relation to the performance of the Brazilian economy and reinforces our commitment regarding creation of new jobs and with the overall development of the country. We will prioritize the organic growth of the Company by opening new stores, however reviewing opportunities for new acquisitions which may add synergies to our activities and effectively create value for our Company.

13.4. Stock-based compensation plan for the Company’s Board of Directors and Statutory Board of Executive Officers in effect in the last fiscal year and estimated for the current fiscal year

On December 31, 2009, the Company had two stock-option plans for Company shares. One of them was approved at an Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 28, 1997 (“First Plan”), and the other plan was approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 20, 2006 (“Second Plan” and, together with the First Plan, referred to as “Stock Option Plans”).

Our Stock Option Plans are managed by a Stock Option Management Committee (“Stock Option Committee”) elected by our Board of Directors. This committee, which has 3 to 5 members, determines the employees to periodically benefit from stock options, based on their attributions, responsibilities and performance, establishing the applicable conditions.

In addition to managing the Stock Option Plans, the Stock Option Committee is responsible for selecting the executives and employees that are entitled to the options, in addition to determining the terms and conditions of each stock option agreement applicable to each beneficiary, including, but not limited to, the number of shares to be acquired, the acquisition conditions and prices, and the respective payment means.

Our Executive Officers and some high-skilled employees receive stock-based payments as part of their compensation. We recognize expenses with stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the premiums as of the grant date.

The Stock Option Plans include only class A preferred shares issued by the Company.

a. General terms and conditions

Our Stock Option Committee usually develops annual cycles for the granting of options. Each granting cycle receives a serial number. The options granted in the First Plan are numbered starting with “Series I”, and the Second Plan’s options are numbered starting with “Series A1”. On December 31, 2009, the options granted in Series VIII, IX and X of the First Plan and Series A1 to A3 of the Second Plan are in effect.

The options granted in the Second Plan are divided into “Gold” and “Silver” options, which implies a change in the options’ exercise price, as explained in item (i) below.

b. Plan’s main objectives

The objectives of the Stock Option Plans are (i) to attract and retain highly qualified executives and professionals in our Company; (ii) to allow our executives and employees to participate in our capital stock and the equity additions arising from the results said executives, employees and contractors have contributed to; and (iii) to align the interests of our executives and employees with the interests of our shareholders, encouraging the good performance of these professionals and ensuring our Company’s management continuity.

c. The way the plan contributes to the achievement of these goals

Stock Option Plan beneficiaries are encouraged to generate more results to our Company, so that they achieve their goals as executives and employees of the Company, and for the shares received as compensation to have their value increased over time.

d. The way the plan is included in the Company’s compensation policy

The Plans are an element of the compensation of our executives, and they are in line with our compensation policy, whose goal is to retain executives and employees and encourage the generation of better results.

e. The way the plan aligns the interests of the executives and of the Company in the short, medium, and long terms

As the options are granted every year and based on our results, we understand the Stock Option Plans are in line with our short-term interests, since they encourage the beneficiaries to achieve their individual goals and the Company’s goals. They also retain our Executive Officers and beneficiaries of the Stock Option Plans, in addition to attracting new professionals, which is in line with our medium-term interests. Finally, as mentioned in item (j) below, the beneficiaries of the Stock Option Plans will only be apt to exercise their options after a certain time working with our Company, which encourages them to generate better results in the long term so their shares gain value, in addition to retaining them for a longer period, in line with our long-term interests.

f. Maximum number of shares involved

The maximum number of shares included in our Stock Option Plans is 10,117,748 class A preferred shares (pursuant to reverse stock split resolved on by our shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 13, 2007).

The amount indicated above shall always observe the authorized capital limit of our Company (which, on the presentation date of this form was R$400 million), and it can be changed at any time by our Board of Directors. When the call options are exercised, we issue new shares to the beneficiaries, observing our right to use treasury shares.

g. Maximum number of options to be granted

There is no maximum number of options to be granted within the scope of our Stock Option Plans, provided that the total number of shares resulting from their exercise does not surpass the limit indicated in item (f) above and the limit of 2% of our capital stock per Series.

h. Conditions for the acquisition of shares

The Stock Option Committee will determine, for each Series and in each case if necessary, the terms and conditions for the acquisition of the right to exercise granted options, by means of an express provision in the subscription agreement signed by the beneficiary.

In order to acquire shares of the Stock Option Plans, the beneficiaries shall remain bound to our Company for a specific period, pursuant to item (j) below, except for the cases of termination of employment described in item (n) below.

The options shall be fully or partially exercised up to the expiration date of the respective option. For further information on the options’ expiration dates currently in effect, please refer to item 13.6 below.

i. Criteria for setting the acquisition or exercise price

First Plan

The price of each preferred share is determined in the respective subscription agreement, and it is always set on Fridays by the Stock Option Committee, in an amount ranging from 100% to 60% of the average weighted quotation of the trades with preferred shares issued by the Company on the closing of the trading sessions of the BM&FBOVESPA in the four days prior to the Friday in question, restated at the IGP-M.

Second Plan

For the options classified as “Silver”, the exercise price per preferred share shall correspond to the average of the closing price of the preferred shares issued by the Company and traded in the 20 sessions of the BM&FBOVESPA prior to the date the Stock Option Committee resolves on the granting of the option. After the average price is determined, a negative goodwill of 20% shall be applied.

For the options classified as “Gold”, the exercise price will be R$0.01 per preferred share.

j. Criteria for determining the exercise price

As a general rule for the Stock Option Plans, which can be amended by the Stock Option Committee for each series, the acquisition of the right to exercise the option will be in accordance with the following deadlines:

First Plan

By the end of the last month of the 3^rd year following the execution of the respective subscription agreement, the beneficiary will have the right to acquire 50% of the total number of shares purpose of the option granted to him, and the remaining portion is exercisable after the last month of the 5^th year.

Second Plan

After the 36^th month and up to the 48^th month following the execution of the respective subscription agreement, the beneficiary will have the right to acquire 100% of the shares for “Silver” options. The exercise of the “Gold” options will happen in the same period, but the percentage of said options subject to exercise will be determined by the Stock Option Committee in the 35^th month following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement.

The options granted in both Stock Option Plans shall be fully or partially exercised. It is worth mentioning that “Gold” options supplement “Silver” options. Therefore, “Gold” options shall only be exercised together with “Silver” options.

k. Settlement means

The price referring to the exercise of the options granted in the Stock Option Plan shall be fully paid in local currency by the beneficiary.

For the options granted in the First Plan, the exercise price shall be paid in cash upon the subscription of the shares. For options granted in the Second Plan, the exercise price shall be paid in one installment, 30 days following the date of subscription of the respective shares, except for the cases of termination of employment of the beneficiary described in item (n) below, in which case the exercise price shall be paid in cash upon the subscription.

l. Restrictions to the transfer of shares

The Stock Option Committee shall set restrictions to the transfer or trading of the shares obtained through the exercise of the options.

In the First Plan, part of the shares acquired in the 5^th year following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement, as explained in item (j) above, will be encumbered with inalienability. This encumbrance will be extinguished upon the beneficiary's retirement. The number of shares subject to this encumbrance shall be ascertained using the following equation:

Q = (Q1 x Pm) – (Q1 x Pe)
Pm

Where:

Q = number of shares to be encumbered with inalienability;
Q1 = 50% of the total shares initially provided for in the beneficiary’s subscription agreement;
Pm = market price of the preferred shares issued by the Company on the date of the exercise of the option; and
Pe = exercise price of the total shares initially provided for in the beneficiary’s subscription agreement.

m. Criteria and events that, when verified, shall result in the suspension, amendment to, or termination of the plan

The number of shares to be acquired in the Second Plan’s “Gold” Series, as explained in item (j) above, shall be limited by the Stock Option Committee.

The Stock Option Plans and the options granted shall be automatically extinguished if our Company is dissolved or liquidated.

Finally, the Stock Option Committee shall determine the suspension, amendment to or termination of the Stock Option Plans without the prior consent of the beneficiaries, provided that their rights and obligations are not harmed.

n. Effects of the executive’s leaving the Company on his rights provided for in the stock-based compensation plan

First Plan

In the case of involuntary termination of employment of any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the First Plan up to the end of the last month of the 3^rd year following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement, the right to exercise 80% of the options not exercisable yet on that date will be granted, and the right to exercise the options already exercisable will be maintained. In the case of involuntary termination of employment after this date and up to the end of the last month of the 5^th year following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement, the only right that will be maintained will be that of the exercise of the options already exercisable on that date. In both cases, (i) the right to exercise the portion of 50% of the options that would become exercisable by the end of the last month of the 5^th year following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement will not be granted; and (ii) the beneficiaries shall communicate their intention to exercise the options granted to them within up to 15 days following the date of termination of employment.

In the case of voluntary termination of employment by any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the First Plan, the right to exercise the portion of options already exercisable on the date of termination of employment will be maintained, and the right to exercise the portions not exercisable yet will not be granted. In any case, the right to exercise the portion of 50% of the options that would become exercisable by the end of the last month of the 5th year following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement will not be granted.

In the case of termination of employment with a cause of any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the First Plan, pursuant to the Brazilian labor law, the Executive Officer or employee will lose the right to exercise the portions of the options granted to him that are already exercisable or not exercisable yet.

In the case of death, permanent disability or retirement of any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the First Plan, the right to exercise the options not exercisable yet will be granted to him, and his right to exercise the exercisable options on the date of the event will be maintained, and the exercise shall be carried out by a person duly authorized by the appropriate authority.

Second Plan

In the case of involuntary termination of employment by any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the Second Plan up to the last working day of the 35^th month following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement, the right to exercise 100% of the “Silver” and “Gold” options will be granted. In this case, the limit determined by the Stock Option Committee shall not apply for the number of shares resulting from the exercise of the “Gold” options, described in item (j) above, and the total number of shares initially determined by the Committee shall be subject to exercise.

In the case of involuntary termination of employment by any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the Second Plan from the last working day of the 35th month to the last working day of the 48^th month following the date of execution of the respective subscription agreement, the right to exercise 100% of the “Silver” and “Gold” options will also be granted. In this case, however, the limit determined by the Stock Option Committee will remain applicable for the number of shares resulting from the exercise of the “Gold” options, described in item (j) above.

In both cases, the beneficiaries shall communicate their intention to exercise the options granted to them within up to 15 days following the date of termination of employment.

In the case of voluntary termination of employment of any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the Second Plan and/or termination with cause, pursuant to the Brazilian labor law, the right to exercise the “Silver” and “Gold” options will not be granted.

In the case of death or permanent disability of any Executive Officer or employee beneficiary of the Second Plan, the rules for involuntary termination of employment described above shall apply, and the exercise shall be carried out by a person duly authorized by the appropriate authority.

a. Pricing method

See item (i) of item 13.4 above.

b. Data and propositions used in the pricing model, including the average weighted price of the shares, exercise price, expected volatility, option term, expected dividends, and risk-free interest rate

The market price of each granted option is estimated on the grant date using the Black & Scholes-Merton options pricing model, considering the following propositions for the options in effect in 2009:



		On the grant date

Average weighted price of the shares (per share), according to the		Series VIII: R$30.22
average value of the last 15 trading sections on the grant date		Series IX: R$25,64
		Series X: R$38.40
		Series A1: R$30.88
		Series A2: R$34.01
		Series A3: R$34.55
Exercise Price		Series VIII: R$26.00
		Series IX: R$26.00
		Series X: R$33.00
		Series A1 Gold: R$0.01
		Series A1 Silver: R$24.63
		Series A2 Gold: R$0.01
		Series A2 Silver: R$26.93
		Series A3 Gold: R$0.01
		Series A3 Silver: R$27.47

Expected updated volatility		40.47%
Options term		Series IX and X: 5 years
		Series A1, A2 and A3: 3 years
Expected dividends		0.72%
Risk-free interest rate		9.66%
Fair value of the option on the grant date (per option)		See item 13.6 above

c. Method and propositions used to incorporate the expected effects of early exercise

We do not take into account, for purposes of pricing the options, early exercises resulting from involuntary termination of employment, death or permanent disability of the beneficiary, and as a result of corporate events.

We adopt the proposition that the options will be exercised from the moment they become exercisable. Therefore, the options term adopted in the calculations ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on the series and the corresponding vesting periods of the options.

d. How the expected volatility is determined

In calculating the expected volatility, we used the standard deviation of the natural logarithms of the historic daily variations of the prices of the shares issued by the Company, according to the effective term of the options.

e. Other characteristics incorporated in the measurement of the options’ fair value

Up to the end of the vesting period, the non-exercisable options are considered as call options in the calculations made using the Black-Scholes-Merton method. When they become exercisable, the options are considered as put options, that is, exercisable at any time up to the expiration date.

13.10. Pension plans in effect granted to the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Executive Officers

On December 31, 2009, our Directors were not eligible to our pension plans. Below we present the pension plans in effect for the Board of Executive Officers.
