SÃO PAULO, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (B3: ASAI3) ("Assaí") announces its intention to file a Form 15F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to terminate the registration of its common shares and American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") under Section 12(g) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and to terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Upon filing Form 15F, Assaí's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately and are expected to terminate 90 days after the filing, barring any objection by the SEC.

Assaí will maintain the listing of its common shares on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, its primary trading market, under the ticker "ASAI3," and will continue to comply with Brazilian disclosure requirements. Periodic reports, annual and interim results, and communications will remain available on Assaí's website (https://ri.assai.com.br), including in English.

In addition, Assaí's ADSs, delisted from the New York Stock Exchange prior to market opening on January 10, 2025, will remain eligible for trading in the U.S. over-the-counter markets under the ticker "ASAIY."

Assaí reserves the right, for any reason, to delay the Form 15F filing, to withdraw the filing prior to effectiveness, and to otherwise change its plans in respect of deregistration and termination of its reporting obligations under applicable U.S. federal securities laws in any way.
