(Itaú Unibanco or Company) and its subsidiaries for the period from January to September 2018 follow the regulations established by the National Monetary Council (CMN), in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). New accounting standard IFRS 9 on financial instruments became effective on January 1, 2018. This standard introduces significant amendments to classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The most significant change resulting from IFRS 9 is how banks account for loan losses. As from IFRS 9 these will be addressed as expected rather than incurred, as before. The information presented in this material is available on the Investor Relations website of Itaú Unibanco (www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Results Center) and on the websites of CVM and of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Itaú Unibanco Highlights 1.1) Corporate Governance Changes in the Executive Committee As from January 2019 Caio Ibrahim David becomes the Wholesale General Director and Milton Maluhy Filho takes the position of Vice President of Risks and Finance, joining the Executive Committee In September 2018 we announced some changes in our Executive Committee, as our Wholesale General Director Eduardo Vassimon has reached the limit age for exercising the duties of this position.
