Material Fact

Non-recurring Payment of Interest on Shareholders’ Equity

The Board of Executive Officers of Banco Bradesco S.A. decided today to submit to the Board of Directors, which will resolve at the meeting to be held on September 30, 2016, proposal for the non-recurring payment of Interest on Shareholders’ Equity related to the third quarter of 2016 totaling R$3,317,000,000.00, corresponding to R$0.571123466 per common shares and R$0.628235813 per preferred share.

If the proposal is approved:

a)        the shareholders benefitted will be those of record on September 30, 2016 (declaration date), with the shares being traded "ex-right" on non-recurring interest, as of October 3, 2016; and   

b)       the payment will be made on March 8, 2017 based on the net amount of R$0.485454946 per common share and R$0.534000441 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 non-recurring interest on shareholders’ equity, net of Withholding Income Tax, to be approved corresponds to approximately 33 times the amount of interest on equity monthly paid and will be computed in the calculation of the mandatory dividends for the fiscal year, as provided in the bylaws.

The Company may, based on income calculated at the end of 2016 fiscal year, pay additional interest on shareholders’ equity and/or dividends to the shareholders.
