NOTICE TO THE MARKET
Custodian Bank Switch
Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – Sabesp (“Company”) hereby announces to its shareholders and the market in general that, from December 1st, Banco Bradesco S/A (“Bradesco”) will become the financial institution depositary of the shares issued by the Company, replacing Itaú Unibanco S/A (“Itaú”). Thus, from that date, the service to the holders of shares will be carried out by the network of Bradesco agencies, present throughout the national territory.
Shareholders with shares held in custody at BM&FBovespa will continue to be covered regularly, by their respective brokers of securities and/or custody agents, with no interruption of the trading of the Company's shares.
Due to the transfer process, there will be a suspension in the service to the shareholders within the period from November 21 to November 30, 2016, in the following procedures:
· position consultation;
· share transfer out from the stock exchange;
· custody transfer;
· payment of any outstanding events;
· registration update; and
· registration of encumbrances, among others.
Concerning the share transfer orders (custody movement) in which blocking has been made by Itaú, without the respective deposit, the said bank will transfer the blocking to Bradesco and these will remain valid until their expiration date.
It is worth noting that this change will not imply any change in the rights granted to the shares, including dividends and capital remuneration. Any payments will be made in the same bank account previously indicated by each shareholder.
São Paulo, November 17, 2016.
