CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation(1) Amount of Filing Fee(2)
US$693,655,030.06 US$75,677.77

 

(1)Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Transaction Valuation was calculated assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred class B shares of Companhia Paranaense de Energia – Copel (“Copel”), no par value (the “Preferred Class B Shares”). The Transaction Valuation (estimated solely for purposes of computing the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11 under the Exchange Act) is calculated as the sum of (1) 286,332,019, the number of Copel Preferred Shares eligible to be converted into units, each representing four Preferred Class B Shares and one common share of Copel (the “Units”), in the offer, multiplied by US$ 1.24, the average of the high and low prices of the Preferred Class B Shares as reported on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, or “B3”) on March 17, 2021, converted into U.S. dollars based on an exchange rate of R$5,5847 =US$1, the PTAX selling rate as reported by the Central Bank of Brazil (Banco
 
 

Central do Brasil) on March 17, 2021, and (2) 26,494,783, the number of outstanding Preferred ADSs, as of March 17, 2021, eligible to be converted into Units in the offer, multiplied by US$ 12.78, the average of the high and low prices of the Preferred ADSs as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on March 17, 2021.

(2)The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Exchange Act and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for fiscal year 2021, is US$109.10 per US$1 million (prorated for amounts less than US$1 million) of the aggregate Transaction Value. Accordingly, the filing fee is calculated by multiplying the aggregate Transaction Valuation by 0.0001091.
Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.
