Additionally, the representing partner of the Statutory External Auditor Company in exercising, took up his assignment in the year of 2011, under a policy of rotation, which becomes effective according with the best practices of compliance, assumed by this Statutory Audit Board, namely the implementation of the Recommendation IV.3 of the Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM) Corporate Governance Code. In preparing this proposal, the Statutory Internal Auditor considered the publication of the EU Regulation nr 537/2014, which determines a limit of 10 ten years regarding the duration of the Statutory External Auditor mandate, having the Member States the possibility to reduce such period, and additionally establishes a transitorily regime that, in the Company’s case, makes the rotation of the External Auditor mandatory, only, in the year of 2023. Considering all the factors in equation, it was unanimously deliberated by the Statutory Audit Board, to propose to the Board of Directors the reelection, towards a new mandate, of the current Statutory External Auditor, being the Statutory Audit Board convinced that its permanence exercising its attributions does not eliminate or condition the idoneity and independency with which it has been exercising them. In these terms, it is hereby proposed the deliberation of the election, as Statutory External Auditor, of the company for the mandate that corresponds to the four-year period starting 2015 and ending 2018: - Deloitte & Associados, SROC, represented by António Marques Dias or Jorge Manuel Araújo de Beja Neves.

(Translation from the Portuguese original) The Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders’ General Meeting of Sonae - SGPS, SA Lugar do Espido, Via Norte 4471-909 Maia Item number 7 PROPOSAL The Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee proposes to the Shareholders’ General Meeting the approval, under the terms and for the purpose of nr. 1 of Article 2 of the Law nr. 28/2009, of 19th June, the present Statement on Remuneration and Compensation Policy to be applied to the Company’s statutory governing bodies and to other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (“Dirigentes”), as set out below: 1. Principles of the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the Statutory Governing Bodies The Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the statutory governing bodies and of other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (“Dirigentes”) adheres to European Community directives, to Portuguese national law and to the recommendations of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) (namely the ones from section - III. Remunerations – from the CMVM Corporate Governance Code (2013)), and is based on the principle that initiative, competence and commitment are the essential pillars of a good performance, which must be aligned with the medium and long term interests of the Company, in order to achieve sustainability and it is underpinned by the following principles: Competitiveness In determining the Remuneration and Compensation Policy of the statutory governing bodies of the Company, the main goal is to attract talent with high level of performance that represents a valuable and material contribute to the sustainability of the Company’s business. The Policy is defined by benchmarking against the global market and with the practices of comparable companies, being this information furnished by the main surveys performed for Portugal and other European markets, in particular those prepared by Mercer and Hay Group. SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE OF SONAE - SGPS, S.A. Accordingly, the remuneration parameters for members of the Statutory Governing Bodies are determined and periodically revised in line with the remuneration practices of national and internationally comparable companies, with the aim of aligning with the market practice the potential maximum amount of remuneration, both individually as well as in aggregated terms, to be paid to the members of the statutory governing bodies. When making such analysis, the remuneration of the members of the statutory governing bodies shall consider, namely, alongside other factors, the profile and the background of the member, the nature and the description of the role and the competences of the statutory governing body and the member itself, as well as the degree of direct correlation between the individual performance and the business performance. The Policy is defined by benchmark with the global market and the practices of comparable companies, being this information furnished by the main surveys performed for Portugal and other European markets, in particular those prepared by Mercer and Hay Group. For the assessment of the market practice reference values, it is considered the average compensation for Europe’s top tier executives, and the companies that make up the pool of comparable companies are those with securities traded at Euronext Lisbon regulated market. Hence, the potential maximum amounts of remuneration to be paid to the members of the statutory governing bodies are as follows: Circumstances Board of Components Directors Executive Fixed Base Salary Bonus Short Market determining Positioning award Median N/A the Directors Upon the fulfilment Performance of quantified and Bonus unquantified KPIs Medium Non-Executive Term Third quartile Term Third quartile Upon the fulfilment Performance of quantified and Bonus unquantified KPIs Fixed Salary Median N/A Statutory Audit Fixed Salary Median N/A Salary Median N/A Directors Board Statutory External Auditor Fixed SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE OF SONAE - SGPS, S.A. Oriented for performance The Policy establishes the attribution of bonus calculated considering the level of success of the Company. The variable component of the remuneration is structured in a way to establish a connection between the bonus attributed and the level of performance either individual, either collective. In the case the pre-defined objectives, measured by business and individual KPIs, are not accomplished, the amount of short and medium incentives, will be totally or partially reduced. Alignment with the shareholders’ interests Part of the variable bonus of the executive directors is deferred for a period of 3 years, being the amount conditioned by the evolution of the price of shares and by the level of achievement of the medium-term objectives during the deferring period. This way, it is ensured an alignment of the director with the shareholder’s interests and with the medium-term performance, aiming the sustainability of the business. Transparency Every aspects of the remuneration structure are clear and openly published, either internal as well as externally, trough the publicity of the documentation in the Company’s website. This communication process contributes to promote equity and independency. Reasonableness The Policy intends to ensure a balance between Sonae’s interests, the market position, the members of the governing bodies expectations and motivations, and the talent retention need. The Company’s Remuneration and Compensation Policy incorporates the principle of not contemplating any compensation to members of the Board of Directors or to members of other statutory governing bodies, related with the termination of a mandate, whether such termination occurs at the end of the respective mandate or there is an early termination for any reason or on any basis, without prejudice of the Company’s obligation to comply with the applicable law. The Remuneration and Compensation Policy does not include any benefit, particularly retirement benefits, in favour of the members of the governing bodies or other Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities. In applying the Remuneration Policy consideration is given to roles and responsibilities performed in affiliated companies. To ensure the effectiveness and transparency of the principles of the Remuneration and Compensation Policy, SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE OF SONAE - SGPS, S.A. the Executive Directors: - will not enter into agreements with the Company or third parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent to the variability of their remuneration awarded by the Company; - will not sell, during the mandate beginning in the 2015 financial year, Company shares that were attributed to them, under the Medium Term Incentive Plan, up to a limit of two times the value of their total annual remuneration, with the exception of those any such shares that may be required to be sold in order to pay taxes on the respective gains. 2. To implement the principles set out above, the remuneration and compensation of the members of the statutory governing bodies and persons discharging managerial responsibilities shall respect the following rules: Executive Directors (EDs) The remuneration and compensation policy for the Executive Directors includes, in the way it is structured, control mechanisms, taking into account the connection to personal and collective performance, to prevent behaviour that involves excessive risk-taking. This objective is also reinforced by the fact that each Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is limited to a maximum value. The remuneration of EDs normally includes two components: (i) a fixed component, which includes a Base Remuneration and an annual Responsibility Allowance, determined by reference to each financial year, (ii) a variable component, awarded in the first half of the year following the year to which it relates and subject to the accomplishment of the objectives fixed for the previous year. The variable component is divided into two parts (a) a Short Term Performance Bonus which is paid immediately after it is awarded, and (b) a Medium Term Performance Bonus, which is paid after a 3 year deferral period, considering that the exposure of EDs to fluctuations in the share price is the most appropriate way to align the interests of EDs with those of shareholders. (i) The fixed remuneration of an ED is based on the personal competences and level of responsibility of the function exercised by each ED and is reviewed annually. Each ED is attributed a classification named internally as a Management Level (“Grupo Funcional”). EDs are classified under one of the following Management Levels: “Group Leader”, “Group Senior Executive”, or “Senior Executive”. The various Management Levels are structured according to Hay’s international model for the classification of corporate functions, thereby facilitating market comparisons, as well as helping to promote internal equity. SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE OF SONAE - SGPS, S.A. (ii) The variable bonus is designed to orientate and reward the EDs to achieve predetermined targets and objectives, which are based on indicators of Company performance, of working teams under their responsibility and of their own personal performance, and attributed after the financial year is closed and the performance evaluation has been made. Variable bonus is awarded on the basis of the fulfilment of collective, departmental and individual KPIs. Approximately 70% of its value is determined by business, economic and financial KPIs. These are quantified indicators, which are divided into collective and departmental KPIs. The collective KPIs consist of economic and financial indicators based on the budget, linked to the performance of each business unit, as well as to the consolidated performance of the Company. The departmental KPIs have a functional or business unit nature, with a similar linkage to collective KPIs, but are directly influenced by the performance of the ED. The remaining 30% are determined by the achievement of personal KPIs, which may combine quantified and unquantified indicators. As the amount of the award is subject to the accomplishment of objectives, there is no guarantee that any payment will be made. To determine the variable component of the remuneration an individual evaluation of the performance is carried out by the Nomination and Remuneration Commission of the Board of Directors. This assessment takes places after the results of the Company are known. (a) The Short Term Performance Bonus (“STPB”) This bonus corresponds to the maximum of 50% of the total value of the variable bonus. This bonus is paid, in cash, in the first half of the year following the year to which it relates. It may, however, upon the decision of the Shareholders Remuneration Committee, be paid, within the same deadline, in shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below for the Medium Term Performance Bonus. (b) The Medium Term Performance Bonus (“MTPB”) This bonus is designed to enhance the connection of the EDs with the Company, aligning their interests with the interests of shareholders, and increasing their awareness of the importance of their performance on the overall success of the organisation. The value awarded corresponds to at least 50% of the total value of the variable bonus. The value awarded in euros is divided by the average of the closing share prices to determine the number of shares it amounts to. The amount initially converted into shares is adjusted for any changes to the share capital that occurred or any dividends distributed (using Total Shareholder Return methodology) during the 3 year deferral period. During this deferral period, the amount of the bonus, converted into shares, may additionally be adjusted to match the success degree in achieving medium terms KPIs, in order to ensure the continued alignment with the business medium terms sustainability objectives. SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE OF SONAE - SGPS, S.A. In line with the policy for enhancing the alignment of EDs with the company’s medium term interests, the Shareholders’ Remuneration Commission may, in its absolute discretion, graduate the discount percentage to be granted to the EDs for the acquisition of company’s shares, by determining that EDs contribute to the acquisition in an amount corresponding, at the maximum, to 5% of the share market price at the transfer date. On the vesting date, the corresponding shares are delivered free of cost, although the Company reserves the right to pay the equivalent market value in cash. Taking the two variable components together, the target values set in advance range between 30% and 60% of the total annual remuneration (fixed remuneration and target variable bonus). At the time of working out actual results achieved, the value of each bonus to be awarded is limited to the minimum 0% and the maximum of 140% of the target value set in advance. The value of the variable component attributed in the total amount of annual remuneration depends on two factors: (i) the objective amount of the variable component; (ii) the level of objectives achievement. The combine of these two factors could give rise to a real weight of the variable bonus attributed over the total amount of annual remuneration that varies between 0% and 68%, as it results from the illustrative schedule above: Balancing of the Variable Bonus Attributed on the basis of Annual Amount of Remuneration Attributed* Global KPI achieved Variable Objective Bonus / Objective Annual Amount of Remuneration** 0% 50% 70% 100% 140% 33% 0% 20% 26% 33% 41% 50% 0% 33% 41% 50% 58% 60% 0% 43% 51% 60% 68% * Fixed Remuneration plus variable bonus attributed ** Fixed Remuneration plus variable objective bonus The payment in cash of the bonus incentive may be executed by any way of fulfilling the obligation as permitted by law and by the Company’s articles of association. Non-Executive Directors (NED’s) SHAREHOLDERS’ REMUNERATION COMMITTEE OF SONAE - SGPS, S.A. The remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) shall be based on market comparable, and be structured as follows: (1) a Fixed Remuneration; (2) an annual responsibility allowance. No variable bonus of any kind is paid to NEDs. Statutory Audit Board (“Conselho Fiscal”) The remuneration of the members of the Company’s Statutory Audit Board shall be based exclusively on fixed annual amounts, which include an Annual Responsibility Allowance. The levels of remuneration are determined by taking into consideration the Company’s situation and by benchmarking against the market. Statutory External Auditor The Company’s Statutory External Auditor shall be remunerated, under the supervision of the Statutory Audit Board, in accordance with normal fee levels for similar services, benchmarked against the market. Board of the Shareholders’ General Meeting The remuneration of the members of the Board of the Shareholders’ General Meeting shall correspond to a fixed annual amount, based on the Company’s situation and benchmarked against the market. Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities Under the terms of Paragraph 3 of Article 248-B of the Portuguese Securities Code, in addition to the members of the Statutory Governing Bodies mentioned above, Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities also includes individuals who have regular access to inside information and are involved in taking management and business strategy decisions at the Company. The remuneration policy applicable to other individuals who, under the terms of the law, are considered to be Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities, shall be the same as is adopted for other managers with the same level of function and responsibility, without awarding of any other additional benefits in addition to those which result from the respective Management Level. Maia, 20th March 2015 On behalf of the Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee Belmiro Mendes de Azevedo Artur Eduardo Brochado dos Santos Silva Francisco de la Fuente Sánchez Appendix to the Statement of the Shareholders’ Remuneration Committee on the Remuneration Policy of the Statutory Governing Bodies and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities SONAE SHARE ATTRIBUTION PLAN (Medium Term Performance Bonus – MTPB) Features and Regulation 1. Main features of MTPB MTPB is one of the components of Sonae’s remuneration policy. This component distinguishes itself from the remaining since it is restrict and voluntary, and its attribution is subject to the eligibility criteria hereby described. MTPB allows the beneficiaries to share with shareholders the value generated through their involvement in the strategy and management of Sonae’s businesses in the just measure of the results of their annual assessment of performance. 2. MTPB Scheme MTPB aligns the interest of executive directors with the organisation’s objectives, reinforcing their compromise and strengthening their view over the importance of their performance for Sonae, and expressed in Sonae share market capitalisation. 3. Eligibility Sonae and Sonae business units’ Executive Directors are eligible for attribution of MTPB. Under the terms of the remuneration policy approved by the Board of Directors, employees to whom, accordingly with that policy, the Plan applies, may also be eligible for the MTPB. Eligible Members Reference value for medium term bonus plan (% total objective variable remuneration) Sonae Executive Directors at least 50% Sonae Business Units Executive Directors at least 50% Employees to be defined by each Company's Board of Directors 4. Duration of the MTPB plan The MTPB plan is established annually, based on the variable remuneration awarded, and each plan has duration of three years. As from the third consecutive plan it will occur in each moment the overlapping of three three-year plans. 5. Valuation of the MTPB plan The share price of the Company on the Portuguese stock exchange is used to establish the value of MTPB, using as a benchmark the most favourable price, equal to the closing price on the first work day after the Shareholders’ General Meeting, or the average price (using for this average the closing price for the 30 days prior to the date of the General Meeting). The beneficiaries have the right to acquire a number of shares determined by the quotient between the attributed variable remuneration value and the share market price at the attribution date settled under the terms of the previous paragraph, being such right exercisable three years after the attribution date, which shall be adjusted during this deferral period to reflect the degree of success in achieving long term KPIs, in order to ensure the continued alignment with the Company’s long term sustainability objectives. In line with the policy for enhancing the alignment of EDs with the Company’s long term interests, the Shareholders’ Remuneration Commission may, in its absolute discretion, graduate the discount percentage to be granted to the EDs for the acquisition of company’s shares, by determining that EDs contribute to the acquisition in an amount corresponding, at the maximum, to 5% of the share market price at the transfer date. Employees who have been attributed such right acquire the shares in the conditions established by the Board of Directors. If, subsequent to being awarded the right to this kind of remuneration and before exercising this right, dividends are distributed, changes are made to the nominal value of shares, the Company’s share capital is changed or any other change is made to the Company’s capital structure, then the number of shares, which the director has been awarded, will be adjusted to an equivalent number, taking into account the impact of these changes. 6. Delivery by the Company At the moment of the exercise of the share acquisition right under MTPB, the Company reserves itself the right of delivering, in substitution of the shares, the cash equivalent amount to the share market value at the date of the exercise of the right. 7. MTPB plan vesting The acquisition right of the shares attributed under the terms and conditions of the MTPB plan shall be vested three years after its attribution date. 8. Termination of the MTPB plan The right to acquire shares attributed under the MTPB expires three years after such attribution. Notwithstanding the set forth below in the following paragraphs, the rights relating to the MTPB plan expires when the beneficiary no longer works with Sonae. The right to receive payment may however remain in case of permanent disability or decease, with the due amount being paid to the director or to his/her heirs at the normal time for payment. If the beneficiary retires, any rights to awards can be exercised on the due date for payment. This policy shall be applicable to all the open share attribution plans whose shares have not yet been transferred.
