COMPANHIA BRASILEIRA DE DISTRIBUICAO (CBD) ANNOUNCES CHANGES IN
ITS ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE
Sao Paulo, Brazil, February 22nd, 2000 - Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao -
CBD (NYSE:CBD, BOVESPA:PCAR4) announces changes in its Investors Relations
Management.
Mr. Ricardo Florence dos Santos, Investors Relations Director, is leaving the
Company to take on new challenges in his professional career. CBD wishes all the
luck to Mr. Florence, who efficiently performed many functions in the Company
during 16 years.
Mr. Aymar Giglio Junior, current Credit Director, will be the new Investors
Relations Director at CBD. Mr. Aymar is 39 years old and has been in the Company
for 18 years. He is one of the young executives that Grupo Pao de Acucar has
most invested in since he left Fundacao Getulio Vargas to work at CBD. During
this period, he has been head in the areas of Planning and Control, Finances and
Credit. Married, the father of two children and a marathoner, Mr. Aymar is also
a "Training" element inside the Group. He was responsible for the development of
countless people in leading positions in the company, after a period of studies
in the United States with Franklin Covey, in Time Management (7 Habits).
Grupo Pao de Acucar believes that the nomination of Mr. Aymar as Investors
Relations Director guarantees the continuity of its strong commitment to provide
transparent information and individual attention for its shareholders. CBD is
sure that Mr. Aymar, with his large experience in the Company and in the retail
sector, will play a fundamental role.
CBD, together with its subsidiary, operates a total of 347 stores in 11
Brazilian states through three different formats: Supermarkets, represented by
Pao de Acucar and Barateiro Divisions; Hypermarkets, represented by Extra
Division and home appliance stores (Eletro Division).
