SUPPLEMENTARY PENSION PLANS

Bradesco and its subsidiaries sponsor a private defined contribution pension for its employees, including management, that allows financial resources to be accumulated by participants throughout their careers by means of employee and employer contributions and invested in an Exclusive Investment Fund (FIE). The plan is managed by Bradesco Vida e Previdência S.A. and Banco Bradesco S.A. is responsible for the financial management of the FIEs funds.

The supplementary pension plan counts on contributions from employees and managers of Bradesco and its subsidiaries equivalent to at least 4% of the salary by employees and, 5% of the salary, plus the percentage allocated to covers of risk benefits (invalidity and death) by the company. Actuarial obligations of the defined contribution plan are fully covered by the plan assets of the corresponding FIE. In addition to the plan, in 2001, participants who chose to migrate from the defined benefit plan are guaranteed a proportional deferred benefit, corresponding to their accumulated rights in that plan. For the active participants, retirees and pensioners of the defined benefit plan, now closed to new members, the present value of the actuarial obligations of the plan is fully covered by guarantee assets.

Kirton Bank S.A. Banco Múltiplo and Ágora Corretora de Seguros S.A. sponsor supplementary pension plans in the variable contribution and defined benefit modalities, through the Baneb Social Security Foundation – Bases, for Baneb employees.

Banco Bradesco S.A. sponsors a supplementary pension plan in the variable contribution format, through Caixa de Assistência e Aposentadoria dos Funcionários do Banco do Estado do Maranhão (Capof), to employees originating from Banco BEM S.A.

Bradesco and its subsidiaries, as sponsors of these plans, considering economic and actuarial studies, calculated their actuarial commitments using the real interest rate and acknowledged in their financial statements the obligation due.
