Official Letter No. 113/2017/CVM/SEP/GEA-1

Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco” or “Company”) hereby presents its clarifications regarding the above- mentioned Official Letter (“Official Letter 113/2017”), which refers to the “ news published on Sakamoto's blog on March 4, 2017, under the title ‘ Justice sentences Bradesco to pay R$800 milli on for discriminatory dismissal’” and the reply sent by the Company on October 14, 2015, to the Official Letter No. 399/2015/CVM/SEP/GEA- 1 (“Official Letter 399 /2015”) .

Incidentally, Bradesco confirms that a sentence was issued under the Public Civil Lawsuit No. 0020218- 02.2013.5.04.0020 (“Public Civil Lawsuit”), filed by the Ministry of Labor -MPT (Ministério Público do Trabalho), sentencing the company to pay the amount corresponding to 1% (one percent) of its net income from 2008 to 2012, updated based on the variation of the National Index of Consumer Prices Broad Special - IPCA-E.

Although the amount resulting from this sentence reaches around R$800 million, Bradesco believes that the delivery of the said sentence does not represent an information that may affect the price of the securities issued by the company, the intention of investors to buy, sell or hold such securities, nor the exercise of any rights arising from their ownership, pursuant to Article 2 of CVM Instruction No. 358/2002.

This is because, first of all, it is a sentence at first instance and thus still subject to appeals to be brought by Bradesco before higher courts of the Labor Court, namely the Regional Labor Court of the 4 ^th Region - TRT (Tribunal Regional do Trabalho), the Superior Labor Court - TST (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho) and the Federal Supreme Court - STF (Supremo Tribunal Federal).

Moreover, according to the legal advisors of Bradesco, the values of sentences to pay a compensation for moral damages in previous trials under the TRT and TST are far less than the amount of R$800 million under the sentence rendered in the Public Civil Lawsuit. In the TRT decisions, the largest sentence to pay a compensation for moral damages, up to date, was of R$20 million and, in the TST decisions, the entity responsible for reviewing the decisions of the regional courts, the convictions were between R$100,000 and R$1 million.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that, although this is a substantial amount, the payment of R$800 million, in the unlikely event of the sentence being fully upheld, does not have the ability to affect the Company's financial position, considering that, according to its Financial Statements for the year ended on December 31, 2016, Bradesco had an Adjusted Net Income of R$17.21 billion, Total Assets of R$1.294 trillion, Equity of R$100.42 billion and current market value of R$180 billion.

Therefore, due to all the items above, Bradesco concluded that the information on this sentence does not have the necessary attributes to demand the disclosure of a material fact pursuant to Article 2 of CVM Instruction No. 358/2002.

We remain at your disposal for any further clarifications that may be necessary.

Best regards,

Banco Bradesco S.A.

Subject:          Request for Clarification
                         CVM Proceedings No. RJ-2015-10485

Mr. Director,

1. We refer to the mail filed by the Company in this city on October 15, 2015, in response to the Official Letter No. 399/2015/CVM/SEP/GEA-1, and the news disclosed in Sakamoto's blog on March 4, 2017, under the title “Justice sentences Bradesco to pay R$800 million for discriminatory dismissal, by
Leonardo Sakamoto” .

2. Incidentally, the Company, in its answer to the allegations made by the Ministry of Labor, maintained that it did not issue the due publicity to this lawsuit, taking into account the CVM Instruction No. 480/09, because it considered that the lawsuit was below the materiality line established by the Company (R$493 million).

3. However, on November 4, 2015, the Corporate Relations Office, through the Official Letter No. 437/2015/CVM/SEP/GEA-1, stated to the Company that if the management had enough indications that the Public Civil Lawsuit above mentioned would be able to impact the decision of investors to trade securities issued by the Company, then a Material Fact should be disclosed pursuant to Article 2 of CVM Instruction No. 358/02.

4. In light of the foregoing, given that the sentence of the court on February 20, 2017, established the payment of R$800 million (above the limit established by the Company), we require a statement from the Company on the subject.

5. This statement must take place through the Empresa.NET system, category: Notice to the Market , type: Clarifications of CVM/BOVESPA Requests , subject: News Item published in the Press , and should include a transcription of this Official Letter.

6. We caution that, as established by the Corporate Relations Department, in compliance with its legal duties and based on Section II of Article 9 of Law 6385/76 and on CVM Instruction No. 452/07, a punitive fine in the amount of R$1,000.00 (one thousand reais) will be applied, without prejudice to other administrative sanctions, in case of non-compliance with the requirements in this official letter up until February 8, 2017 , exclusively sent by mail, notwithstanding the provisions of the sole paragraph of Article 6 of CVM Instruction No. 358/02.

Best regards,

Document electronically signed by Nilza Maria Silva de Oliveira , Manager , on March 7, 2017, at 5:28 p.m., according to art. 1, III, "b", of Act 11.419/2006.
