Such new electronic payments network will operate under a brand with domestic and international acceptance.

Itaú Unibanco’s objectives with the Strategic Alliance are (a) to focus on the growth of its issuing and acquiring businesses, mostly related to such new payment solutions network, (b) to access new payment solutions technologies, (c) to realize important gains of scale and efficiency, and (d) to capitalize on MasterCard’s expertise in the management of payment solutions’ brands.

The effectiveness of the Strategic Alliance is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the approval by the appropriate regulatory authorities.

The Strategic Alliance is not expected to have a material impact on Itaú Unibanco’s results in this fiscal year.

Itaú Unibanco takes the opportunity to reaffirm, with this transaction, its commitment to the Brazilian market and to the creation of long-term value to its shareholders.
