EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE DELISTING

 

Almacenes Éxito S.A. ("Éxito" or "the Company") informs its shareholders and the market in general that in line with the information disclosed on December 20 and 30, 2024, today will be the last day of trading of its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). After this date, the Company’s ADSs will begin trading over-the-counter with a new ticker. As the Company also notified its depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan”), the termination of its ADS program, will be effective at the close of business on January 21, 2025. Consequently, the last day of trading for the Company’s ADSs over-the-counter will be on January 17, 2025. After the termination of the ADS program, the Company does not intend to seek a listing or registration of its securities on a U.S. national securities exchange or for their quotation in a quotation medium in the United States. JPMorgan provided a notice of termination to all ADS holders containing relevant information for ADS holders regarding required actions.
