SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

 

The Company’s business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows are subject to, and could be materially adversely affected by, a number of risks and uncertainties, including risks relating to the nature of the Company's business and its operations in Brazil. The following list summarizes some, but not all, of these risks. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

 

Risks Relating to the Company’s Business

·The Covid-19 pandemic and its ongoing effects could adversely affect our business, operational results and financial condition.
·Ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may have a material adverse effect on the global economy, certain material and commodity prices and our business.
·We are not certain whether new concessions or authorizations, as applicable, will be obtained, nor that our present concessions or authorizations will be extended on terms similar to those currently in effect, nor that any compensation we receive in the event of non-extension will be sufficient to cover the full value of our investment.
·Our subsidiaries might suffer intervention by Brazilian public authorities to ensure adequate levels of service or be sanctioned by ANEEL for non-compliance with their concession agreements, or the authorizations granted to them, which could result in fines, other penalties and/or, depending on the severity of the non-compliance, legal termination of concession agreements or revocation of authorizations.
·We are subject to extensive and governmental legislation and regulation which may be subject to change, and any changes to such legislation and regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial situation.
·Changes in Brazilian tax law or conflicts regarding its interpretation may adversely affect us.
·We are subject to restrictions on our ability to make capital investments and to incur indebtedness, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
·The Company could suffer adverse effects in connection with its previous minority interest in Renova Energia S.A. if such entity is unable to continue as a going concern.
·A reduction in our credit risk rating or in Brazil’s sovereign credit ratings could adversely affect the availability of new financing and increase our cost of capital.
·Disruptions in the operation of, or deterioration of the quality of, our services, or those of our subsidiaries, could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Exchange Rates

On March 4, 2005, the National Monetary Council (Conselho Monetário Nacional, or ‘CMN’), consolidated the commercial rate exchange market and the floating rate market into a single exchange market. Such regulation, as restated in 2008, allows subject to certain procedures and specific regulatory provisions, the purchase and sale of foreign currency and the international transfer of Reais by a foreign person or company, without restriction as to the amount. Additionally, all foreign exchange transactions must be carried out by financial institutions authorized by the Brazilian Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil, or the ‘Central Bank’), to operate in this market.

Brazilian law provides that whenever there (i) is a significant deficit in Brazil’s balance of payments or (ii) are major reasons to foresee a significant deficit in Brazil’s balance of payments, temporary restrictions may be imposed on remittances of foreign capital abroad. In the past, the Central Bank has occasionally intervened to control unstable movements in foreign exchange rates. We cannot predict whether the Central Bank or the Federal Government will continue to let the Reais float freely or will intervene in the exchange rate market. The Reais may depreciate or appreciate against the U.S. dollar and other currencies substantially in the future, Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the U.S. dollar amounts received by the holders of Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs. We will make any distributions with respect to our preferred shares or common shares in Reais and the depositary will convert these distributions into U.S. dollars for payment to the holders of Preferred ADSs and Common ADSs. We cannot make assurances that such measures will not be undertaken by the Brazilian Government in the future, which could prevent us from making payments to the holders of our ADSs. Exchange rate fluctuations may also affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Reais price of the preferred shares or common shares on the Brazilian stock exchange on which they are traded. Exchange rate fluctuations may also affect our results of operations. For more information see ‘Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Brazil—Exchange rate instability may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the market price of our shares, the Preferred ADSs and the Common ADSs’.

Risk Factors

The investor should take into account the risks described below, and the other information contained in this Annual Report, when evaluating an investment in our Company.

 

Risks Relating to CEMIG

The Covid-19 pandemic and its ongoing effects could adversely affect our business, operational results and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the Brazilian and global economies have continued to impact the Company, and the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain. COVID-19 necessitated governments, including in Brazil, to respond at unprecedented levels to protect public health, and to support local economies and livelihoods. The resulting government support measures and restrictions have created additional challenges given the rapid pace of change and significant operational demands. Renewed outbreaks, particularly those resulting from the emergence of new variants of the virus, emphasize the ongoing threat of COVID-19 and could result in further tightening of government restrictions.

The Company continues to closely monitor the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Brazilian macroeconomic environment, especially in relation to its business and the market in which it operates, in order to decide on actions to maintain the sustainability of its operations, mitigate economic and financial effects, and protect the health of its employees. The Company established the Coronavirus Crisis Management Committee (‘Comitê Diretor de Gestão da Crise do Coronavírus’) in March 2020, to ensure its readiness to make decisions in light of the fast-changing situation, which has become more widespread, complex and systemic. Several measures were taken to protect the Company´s liquidity position in 2020, such as capital expenditure restraints and expense reductions, the payment of only minimum mandatory dividends to shareholders, and deferral of dividends and interest on equity to the end of 2020 and the negotiating of contracts with its customers on the free market. The Company continued to implement similar policies throughout 2021.

In order to cope with the reduction in collections resulting from the economic crisis, in 2020 measures to support the sector were implemented by the Grantor and regulated by ANEEL, with a view to ensure that companies maintain adequate liquidity and were able to comply with contracts in the electricity sector supply chain. This scenario resulted in the need for internal reassessment by the Company of its Investment Program, revision of the budgets for revenue and expenses, and alteration of the assumptions used in calculating the fair and recoverable value of certain financial and non-financial assets. Among the measures implemented by ANEEL having a greater financial impact on us was the creation of the ‘Covid-account’, issued on May 18, 2020, to support the energy distribution sector, which, as the customer interface, is the basis of the energy sector financial flow, aimed either to cover the distribution agents revenue/cash flow deficit or to anticipate sector receivables. The ‘Covid-account’ increased CEMIG D's cash flow by R$1.4 billion in 2020 enabling it to meet its financial obligations, in spite of the collection reduction resulting from the economic crisis.

Since February 2021, the load on the National Interconnected System (SIN) has been higher than in the previous years of 2020 and 2019, and overall has been slightly above the projected loan levels for 2021 which were published in December 2020, except for the month of October 2021, which was lower than the prior months (but still above the projection), and the months of November and December which were lower than the 2021 projections. The most critical period to date of the pandemic regarding the energy supply in Brazil occurred in the second and third quarters of 2020.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the negative economic conditions arising from the pandemic have negatively impacted the Company’s financial results, in particular during 2020, in various respects. Furthermore, the Company cannot foresee the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Brazilian economy or on its business and results of operations. The Company still faces the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which may have an adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

Ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may have a material adverse effect on the global economy, certain material and commodity prices and our business.

Global markets are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty, volatility and disruption as the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine unfolds, following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Such military conflict and the effect of the resulting economic sanctions imposed on Russia and certain Russian citizens and enterprises could have a negative effect on the global economy and are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, many entities outside the region may be adversely affected by rising prices of commodities such as oil, gas and wheat, or by a potential slowdown in the global economy. The occurrence of large-scale business disruptions potentially gives rise to liquidity issues for certain entities and there may also be consequential impacts on the credit quality of some suppliers. As of the date of this annual report, while we are not directly involved in the region and, therefore, our exposure to Russia and Ukraine is limited, considering the uncertainties surrounding the impact of the conflict on global economy, we are unable to estimate in advance the extent of their potential effects on our business, financial position, or operational results.

 

We are not certain whether new concessions or authorizations, as applicable, will be obtained, nor that our present concessions or authorizations will be extended on terms similar to those currently in effect, nor that any compensation we receive in the event of non-extension will be sufficient to cover the full value of our investment.

We operate most of our power generation, transmission and distribution activities, and related services under concession agreements entered into with the Brazilian Federal Government or pursuant to authorizations granted to companies of the CEMIG Group. The Brazilian Constitution determines that all concessions related to public services must be granted through a bidding process. In 1995, in an effort to implement these constitutional provisions, the Brazilian Federal Government adopted certain laws and regulations, which are collectively known as the ‘Concessions Law,’ which governs bidding procedures in the electric power industry.

On September 11, 2012, the Brazilian Federal Government issued Provisional Act No. 579 (‘PA 579’), later converted into Law No. 12,783 of January 11, 2013 (‘Law No. 12,783/13’), which governs the extensions of concessions granted prior to Law No. 9,074/95. Law No. 12,783/13 determines that, as of September 12, 2012, concessions prior to Law No. 9,074/95 can be extended once, for up to 30 years, provided that the concession operators accept and meet certain conditions described in such Law. With respect to generation activities, the Company chose not to accept the mechanism offered to extend the generation concessions that would expire in the period from 2013 to 2017. These concessions are: Três Marias, Salto Grande, Itutinga, Volta Grande, Camargos, Peti, Piau, Gafanhoto, Tronqueiras, Joasal, Martins, Cajuru, Paciência, Marmelos, Dona Rita, Sumidouro, Poquim and Anil.

Following publication of the tender documents for Generation Auction No. 12/2015, on October 7, 2015 (‘Auction 12/2015’), which was held under the revised regulatory structure for renewal of concessions of existing power plants as set forth in Law No. 13,203 of December 8, 2015 (‘Law No. 13,203/15’), the Company’s Board of Directors authorized CEMIG Geração e Transmissão S.A. (CEMIG GT) to bid at an auction, held on November 25, 2015, in which CEMIG GT was successful. In the auction, CEMIG GT won the concessions for the 18-hydroelectric plants comprising ‘Lot D’, for 30 years: Três Marias, Salto Grande, Itutinga, Camargos, Cajuru, Gafanhoto, Martins, Marmelos, Joasal, Paciência, Piau, Coronel Domiciano, Tronqueiras, Peti, Dona Rita, Sinceridade, Neblina and Ervália. The total installed capacity of these plants is 699.5 MW, and their offtake guarantee is 420.2 MW average.

In relation to the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda power plants, which the date of the first contractual extension of their concessions fell after the issuance of PA 579, the Company understood that the Generation Concession Contract No. 007/1997 enables the extension of the concessions of these power plants for 20 years, i.e., until 2033, 2035 and 2036 respectively, without any restrictions.

Based on this understanding, on February 21, 2017, CEMIG GT filed for a judicial order of mandamus against the actions of the Brazilian Mining and Energy Ministry (MME) to safeguard its rights to an extension of the concession term for the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda Hydroelectric Power Plant, under the terms of Clause 4 of the Generation Concession Contract No. 007/1997, and in accordance with the original terms and conditions of that agreement, which was signed prior to Law No. 12,783/13.

Nevertheless, on September 27, 2017, the Brazilian Federal Government auctioned the concessions of Jaguara, São Simão, Miranda and Volta Grande hydroelectric power plants formerly owned by CEMIG GT with a total capacity of 2,922 MW for a total of R$12.13 billion. In each case, the winning bidder of the concessions is unrelated to CEMIG. Volta Grande power plant concession was transferred to the winning bidder on November 30, 2017, Jaguara and Miranda power plants concession were transferred on December 30, 2017 and São Simão power plant concession was transferred on May 9, 2018.

The applications for mandamus relating to the Jaguara and Miranda hydroelectric plants have now reached final judgment against the Company and further appeal is not possible. Because of these judgments, the Company assesses that the chances of success in the application for mandamus in relation to the São Simão hydroelectric plant, which has not yet reached final judgment, is remote.

In parallel to the discussions on extension of the generation concessions because the concession for various plants operated by CEMIG under Concession Contract 007/1997 have expired, CEMIG GT has a right to be reimbursed for the assets not yet amortized, as set out in the concession contract. The accounting balances corresponding to these assets are recorded as financial assets and are analyzed by Brazilian Regulatory Agency (ANEEL).

On August 31, 2018, CEMIG received R$1,139 million as indemnification for the basic project of the São Simão and Miranda plants. This amount had been adjusted by the Selic rate up to the date of its receipt.

On September 9, 2020, Law 14,052 was issued, changing Law 13,203/2015 and establishing new conditions for renegotiation of hydrological risk in relation to the portion of costs incurred due to the GSF, borne by the holders of hydroelectric plants participating in the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE) since 2012, when there was a serious crisis in water sources.

The compensation to the holders of hydroelectric were granted through the extension of the concession period for generation plants and were recognized as an intangible asset in exchange for a compensation of electricity costs.

This renegotiation represents important progress for the electricity sector, reducing levels of litigation – and for CEMIG, in that it enables extension of the periods of its generation concessions.

The periods of extension approved by ANEEL through normative resolutions 2,919/2021 and 2,932/2021, assured an extension of approximately two years for two of our principal power plants, Emborcação and Nova Ponte, and extensions of seven years for the plants of Lot D – as well as extensions for the other plants where we hold an equity interest directly or through investees.

Considering the degree of discretion granted to the Brazilian Federal Government in relation to new concession contracts or new authorizations, as applicable, and renewal of existing concessions and authorizations, and due to Law No. 12,783/13 and amendments, for renewals of generation, transmission and distribution concession agreements, we cannot guarantee that: (i) new concessions and authorizations will be obtained; (ii) our existing concessions and authorizations will be extended on terms similar to those currently in effect; nor (iii) the compensation received in the event of non-extension of a concession or authorization will be in an amount sufficient to cover the full value of our investment. Our inability to obtain new or extended concessions or authorizations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For more information about the renewal of our concessions and authorizations, see “Item 8. Financial Information – Legal and Administrative Proceedings”.

Our subsidiaries might suffer intervention by Brazilian public authorities to ensure adequate levels of service or be sanctioned by ANEEL for non-compliance with their concession agreements, or the authorizations granted to them, which could result in fines, other penalties and/or, depending on the severity of the non-compliance, legal termination of concession agreements or revocation of authorizations.

We conduct our generation, transmission and distribution activities pursuant to concession agreements entered into with the Brazilian Federal Government, through ANEEL, and pursuant to authorizations granted to companies of the CEMIG Group, as the case may be.

ANEEL may impose penalties or revoke a concession or authorization if we fail to comply with any provision of the concession agreements or authorizations, including those relating to compliance with the established quality standards. Depending on the severity of the non-compliance, these penalties could include:

·Fines for breach of contract of up to 2.0% of the concession holder’s revenues in the financial year immediately prior to the date of the breach;
·Injunctions related to the construction of new facilities and equipment;
·Temporary suspension from participating in bidding processes for new concessions for a period of up to two years;
·Intervention by ANEEL in the management of the concession holder that is in breach;
·Revocation of the concession; and
·Execution of the guarantees related to the concession.

 

Furthermore, the Brazilian Federal Government can revoke any of our concessions or authorizations before the expiration of the concession term, in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution, or by legal termination, if determined to be in the public interest. It can also intervene in concessions to ensure adequate provision of the services, full compliance with the relevant provisions of agreements, authorizations, regulations and applicable law; and where it has concerns about the operations of the facilities of the Company.

Delays in the implementation and construction of new energy infrastructure can trigger the imposition of regulatory penalties by ANEEL, which, under ANEEL’s Normative Resolution No. 846 of June 11, 2019, can vary from warnings to the termination of concessions or withdrawal of authorizations.

Any compensation we may receive upon rescission of the concession agreement or revocation of an authorization may not be sufficient to compensate us for the full value of certain investments. If we are responsible for the rescission of any concession agreement, the effective amount of compensation could be lower, due to fines or other penalties. The imposition of fines or penalties or the early termination or revocation by ANEEL of any of our concession agreements or authorizations, or any failure to receive sufficient compensation for investments we have made, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and on our ability to meet our payment obligations.

Rules under the Fifth Amendment to the distribution concession contract came into effect in 2016. They contain new targets for service quality, and requirements related to CEMIG D’s economic and financial sustainability. These targets must be complied with over the 30 years of the concession. Compliance with these targets is assessed annually, and non-compliance could result in an obligation for CEMIG to inject capital into CEMIG D or a limitation on distribution of dividends or the payment of interest on equity by CEMIG D to CEMIG. According to ANEEL regulations, in case of failure to comply with global annual targets for collective continuity indicators for two consecutive years, or three times in five years, or at any time in the last five years of the agreement term, distribution of dividends or payment of interest on equity may be limited until compliance is resumed.

We are subject to extensive and governmental legislation and regulation which may be subject to change, and any changes to such legislation and regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial situation.

Our operations are highly regulated and supervised by the Brazilian Federal Government, through the MME, ANEEL, the National System Operator (Operador Nacional do Sistema, or ‘ONS’), and other regulatory authorities. These authorities have a substantial degree of influence on our business. MME, ANEEL and ONS have discretionary authority to implement and change policies, interpretations and rules applicable to different aspects of our business, particularly operations, maintenance, health and safety, consideration to be received and inspection. Any significant regulatory measure implemented by such authorities may result in a significant burden on our activities, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Brazilian Federal Government has been implementing policies that have a far-reaching impact on the Brazilian energy sector. As part of the restructuring, Law No. 10,848, of March 15, 2004 introduced a new regulatory regime for the Brazilian energy industry. This regulatory structure has undergone several changes in recent years, the most recent being the changes added by PA 579 (which was converted into Law No. 12,783/2013), which governs the extension of some concessions governed by Law No. 9,074/1995. Under this law, such concessions can, from September 12, 2012, be extended only once, for up to 30 years, at the option of the concession authority.

Currently, the Law Project 232/2016 is under evaluation by the Congress. This draft law proposes changes in the legislation, arising from the former Public Consultation No. 33/2017, which includes some proposals for changes in the current regulatory model of the sector. These changes consist of subsidy reductions and revision of the allocation of costs, among others, creating the basis for a more open market.

Amendments in the legislation or regulations relating to the Brazilian energy industry could adversely affect our business strategy and the conduct of our activities if we are not able to anticipate the new conditions or if we are unable to absorb the new costs or pass them on to customers. In addition, we cannot guarantee that measures taken in the future by the Brazilian Federal Government, in relation to development of the Brazilian energy system, will not have a negative effect on our activities. Further, we are unable to predict to what extent such measures might affect us. If we are required to conduct our business and operations in a way that is substantially different from that specified in our business plan, our business, results of operations or financial position may be negatively affected.

 

Changes in Brazilian tax law or conflicts regarding its interpretation may adversely affect us.

The Brazilian Federal, state and municipal governments regularly implement changes in tax policies that affect us. These changes include the creation and alteration of taxes and charges, permanent or temporary, related to specific purposes of the government. Some of these governmental measures can increase our tax burden, which could affect our profitability, and consequently our financial situation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain our cash flow and profitability after an increase in taxes and charges that apply to us, and this might result in a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

We are subject to restrictions on our ability to make capital investments and to incur indebtedness, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to carry out our capital expenditure program is dependent upon several factors, including our ability to charge adequate rates for our services, access to the domestic and international capital markets, and a variety of operational and other factors. Further, our plans to expand our generation and transmission capacity are subject to compliance with competitive bidding processes. These bidding processes are governed by Law 13,303/2016 (the ‘State Companies Law’).

In relation to loans from third parties: (i) as a state-controlled company, we are subject to rules and limits relating to the level of credit applicable to the public sector, including rules established by the National Monetary Council (Conselho Monetário Nacional, or ‘CMN’), and by the Brazilian Central Bank; and (ii) we are subject to the rules and limits established by ANEEL that regulate indebtedness for companies in the energy sector. Also, although we may access both the international and local capital markets, we, as a state-controlled company, can only be financed with funds extended by local commercial banks if such debt is guaranteed by receivables, as well as with funds extended by Brazilian federal banks in transactions with the purpose of refinancing financial obligations contracted with entities of the Brazilian financial system.

Furthermore, we are subject to certain contractual conditions under our existing debt instruments, and we may enter into new loans that contain restrictive covenants or similar clauses that could restrict our operational flexibility. These restrictions might also affect our ability to obtain new loans that are necessary for financing our activities and our growth strategy, and for meeting our future financial obligations when they become due, and this could adversely affect our ability to comply with our financial obligations. We have financing contracts and other debt obligations containing restrictive covenants, including Brazilian local market debentures and Eurobonds on international market.

We have approximately R$9.8 billion of outstanding debt with financial covenant restrictions, and any breach could have severe negative consequences to us. See ‘– The Company has a considerable amount of debt, and it is exposed to limitations on its liquidity – a factor that might make it more difficult for the Company to obtain financing for investments that are planned and might negatively affect its financial condition and its results of operation.’

If, for example, we breach a financial covenant under the CEMIG GT’s 9.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the ‘Eurobonds’), we would be subject to an interest increase or acceleration of certain debt as a result of cross-default provisions under certain of our outstanding debt agreements. Similarly, if the Company violates a covenant under our debenture issuance, the debenture holders may accelerate the maturity of the debt in a meeting organized by the Fiduciary Agent (‘Trustee’), unless 75% of the debenture holders decide not to do so. Any acceleration of our outstanding debt could have a material adverse effect on our financial situation and may trigger cross-default clauses in other financial instruments.

In the event of a default and acceleration, our assets and cash flow might be insufficient to repay amounts due, or to comply with the servicing of such debt. In the past, we have, on certain occasions, failed to comply with certain financial covenants that had conditions that were more restrictive than those currently in place. Although we were able to obtain waivers from our creditors in relation to past non-compliance, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining any particular waiver in the future.

 

The Company could suffer adverse effects in connection with its previous minority interest in Renova Energia S.A. if such entity is unable to continue as a going concern

We had a 13.80% investment in Renova Energia S.A. (‘Renova’), which is currently in a court-supervised reorganization, and has reported recurring losses and an equity deficit for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On October 16, 2019, the request for processing the court-supervised reorganization of Renova Group was granted by São Paulo Bankruptcy Court and the respective court-supervised reorganization plans were approved by Renova goup of creditors at the General Meeting of Creditors held on December 18, 2020 and ratified by the Second Bankruptcy and Court-Supervised Reorganization Court of São Paulo. The main effects of the court-supervised reorganization plan were recorded in Renova’s financial statements in December 2020 and its measures are in progress. See Note 16 to our Financial Statements.

In 2020, Renova entered into Debtor in Possession (DIP) loan agreements signed with the Company (CEMIG) in the total amount of R$37 million. The funds from these loans, made under specific rules of court-supervised reorganization proceedings, were necessary to support the expenses of maintaining the activities of Renova, and were authorized by the second State of São Paulo Bankruptcy and the Court-supervised Reorganization Court. Such loans are guaranteed by a fiduciary assignment of shares of a company that owns assets of a wind power project owned by Renova, and they also have priority of receipt in the court-supervised reorganization process.

On May 2, 2020, the State of São Paulo Bankruptcy and Court-supervised Reorganization Court issued a decision ordering that the DIP loan, in the total amount of R$37 million, with asset guarantee, already constituted and registered, would be subscribed as a capital increase in Renova. Company has filed a Motion for Clarification and in a virtual and permanent session of the 2nd Chamber of Business Law of the São Paulo Court of Justice, decided to uphold the appeal. Thus, the clauses of the court-supervised plan that deal with the loan contracts signed by the Company are maintained.

On December 18, 2020, the in court supervised reorganization Plans filed by Renova were approved by the General Meeting of Creditors (AGC) and ratified by the recovery court on the same day.

On May 06, 2021 and August 23, 2021, the Renova Board of Directors approved partial ratification of its first and second capital increase, within the limit of the authorized capital, and in accordance with the terms of the court supervised reorganization plan. Cemig GT was not part of the group of creditors that requested conversion of their credits into equity and will not subscribe any part of the capital increase. On November 11, 2021 the third ‘window’ agreed for increase in Renova’s capital, specified in the in court supervised reorganization Plan, ended. This resulted in aggregate credits of not more than R$15. The equity interest held by Cemig GT in the common shares of Renova reduced from 36.23% to 13.80%.

On November 11, 2021, Cemig GT signed a Contract for Share Purchase and Assignment of Credits for Consideration, for disposal of its entire equity interest in Renova Energia S.A., and for assignment, for consideration, of the totality of its credits held against that investee. Thus, the investment was classified as a non-current asset held for sale. However, in view of the Renova’s equity deficit, the Company reduced the carrying value of its equity interests in Renova to zero. No further losses have been recognized, considering the non-existence of any legal or constructive obligations to the Renova. Additionally, since June 30, 2019, considering Renova's financial situation the Company recorded an impairment of the full amount of credits with the jointly controlled entity in the amount of R$688 million.

On December 1, 2021, sale of Renova’s entire equity interest in the UPI Brasil PCH to the other shareholders of Brasil PCH S.A. (BSB Energética S.A and Eletroriver S.A, exercising their right of first refusal under the Shareholders’ Agreement) was concluded, in the terms specified in the Tender Offer and in the in court supervised reorganziation Plan of the Renova Group. The funds received in the transaction, in the amount of R$1,100, were used for early settlement of the Debtor in Possession (DIP) loan contracted by its subsidiary Chipley SP Participação S.A., with co-obligation by Renova and Renova Participações S.A., with Quadra Gestão de Recursos S.A..

On January 27, 2022, Renova accepted the proposal presented by AES GF1 HOLDING S.A., under a share purchase agreement for sale of certain assets and rights of the Cordilheira dos Ventos complex, comprising the projects Facheiro II, Facheiro III and Labocó, in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, with potential for development of wind generation capacity of 305 MW. The agreement included the right to an earn-out if the generation capacity built in the areas comprising the project turns out to be higher than 305 MW. The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent, including holding of a competitive proceeding for the disposal of the Cordilheira dos Ventos UPI, under the in court supervised reorganization Proceedings, with AES as First Proposer (i.e. of a ‘Stalking Horse’ offer), with the right to match any offer made by third parties interested in the acquisition. On March 15, 2022, this process was ratified by the Judge of the second Bankruptcies and Supervised Reorganization Court of the Central legal district of São Paulo, with AES GF1 Holding S.A. being declared the winner, for the amount of R$42.

Considering the non-existence of any legal or constructive obligations to the investee, the Company has concluded that the court-supervised reorganization filed by Renova does not have any additional impact on its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

On November 11, 2021, the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement with AP Energias Renováveis Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, an Angra Partners’ investment vehicle, administered and managed by Mantiq Investimentos Ltda, including the sale of the whole equity interest held in Renova and the assignment, for consideration, of all credits owed to the Company by Renova Comercializadora de Energia S.A., for total consideration of R$60 million. The contract establishes the Company right to an earn-out, depending on certain future events.

On May 5, 2022, Cemig concluded the sale of its entire equity interest held in Renova Energia S.A. – In-court supervised reorganization – as well as the assignment, for consideration, of all credits owed to CEMIG by Renova Comercializadora de Energia S.A. – In court supervised reorganization – for a total consideration of R$60 million, with a right to receive an earn out subject to certain future events, as provided in Share Purchase Agreement (‘the Agreement’) entered into with AP Energias Renováveis Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia on November 11, 2021.

In addition, since 2017, Renova has been a party to a formal investigation by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais State and the Brazilian Federal Police (see “The anticorruption investigations currently in progress in Brazil, which have had large-scale public exposure, and any allegations against, or anticorruption investigations of, CEMIG, may have adverse effects on the perception of Brazil, as well as on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.”). While this investigation remains ongoing, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or how any such outcome may affect the business of the Company. The Company will continue to evaluate future developments with respect to its investment in Renova and will continue to cooperate with authorities in their analysis related to the ongoing investigation.

The Company cannot assure that, for the foregoing reasons, its shareholding in Renova will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

A reduction in our credit risk rating or in Brazil’s sovereign credit ratings could adversely affect the availability of new financing and increase our cost of capital.

The credit risk rating agencies Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings attribute a rating to the Company and its debt securities on a Brazilian basis, and also a rating for the Company on a global basis.

Ratings reflect, among other factors, the outlook for the Brazilian energy sector, the hydrological conditions of Brazil, the political and economic conditions, country risk, and the rating and outlook for the Company controlling shareholder, the State of Minas Gerais.

In the event of a downgrade due to any external factors, our operational performance or high levels of debt, our cost of capital could increase and our ability to comply with existing financial covenants in the instruments that regulate our debt could be adversely affected. Further, our operating or financial results and the availability of future financing could be adversely affected.

In addition, probable reductions in Brazilian sovereign ratings could adversely affect the perception of risk in relation to securities of Brazilian issuers, and, as a result, increase the cost of any future issues of debt securities. Any reductions in our ratings or Brazil’s sovereign ratings could adversely affect our operating and financial results, and our access to future financing.

 

Disruptions in the operation of, or deterioration of the quality of, our services, or those of our subsidiaries, could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

The operation of a complex system that interconnects numerous power generation plants with large transmission lines and distribution networks involves various risks, operational difficulties and unexpected interruptions, caused by accidents, equipment failure, underperformance or disasters (such as explosions, fires, climate events, floods, landslides, sabotage, terrorism, vandalism and other similar events). In the event of any such occurrence, the insurance coverage for operational risks may be insufficient to fully repay the asset damage or service interruption costs incurred. In addition, National Grid Operator decisions, Regulatory Agency acts, and Environmental Authority demands could adversely affect our business.

The Company's income is highly dependent on equipment availability, service quality and regulatory compliance of the assets and facilities it builds, operates and maintains. Failure to comply may lead to business and operating losses. For example, the distribution business may be penalized in the tariff revision process with a higher "X-factor", would reducing its expected annual revenue requirement; the transmission business may have its annual permitted revenue reduced due to any asset unavailability; and the generation business may have its earnings affected if a power plant does not meet minimum availability levels, because in the event that hydro generation does not fully meet previously contracted energy levels, the equivalent shortfall has to be acquired at the spot price, which is highly volatile.

Penalties and financial compensation are applicable depending on the scope, severity and duration of the service or equipment unavailability. Thus, disruptions in power plants, transmission and distribution facilities, substations or networks, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial situation and operating results.

 

We have a considerable amount of debt, and we are exposed to limitations on our liquidity – a factor that might make it more difficult for us to obtain financing for investments that are planned and might negatively affect our financial condition and our results of operations.

In order to finance the capital expenditures needed to meet our long-term growth objectives, we have incurred a substantial amount of debt. As of December 31, 2021, our total loans, financing and debentures (including interest) were R$11,364 million; a decrease of 24.3% compared to the R$15,020 million reported as of December 31, 2020 and, which 2020 amount represented increase of 1.7% compared to R$14,776 million reported as of December 31, 2019. Currently, 20.2 % of our existing loans, financing and debentures - totaling R$2,302 million, have maturities in the next two years. To meet our growth objectives, maintain our ability to fund our operations and comply with scheduled debt maturities, we will need to raise debt capital from a range of funding sources. To service its debt after meeting the capital expenditure targets, the Company has relied upon a combination of cash flows provided by its operations, sale of assets, drawdowns under its available credit facilities, its cash and short-term financial investments balance and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Any further lowering of its credit ratings may have adverse consequences on the Company’s ability to obtain financing or may affect its cost of financing, also making it more difficult or costly to refinance maturing obligations. If, for any reason, the Company were to face difficulties in accessing debt financing, this could hamper its ability to make capital expenditures in the amounts needed to maintain its current level of investments or its long-term targets and could impair its ability to timely meet its principal and interest payment obligations with its creditors. A reduction in the Company’s capital expenditure program or the sale of assets could significantly and adversely affect its results of operations.

 

Our strategy for maximizing value for CEMIG’s shareholders depends on external factors that could impede its successful implementation.

CEMIG’s strategy to maximize shareholder value in the Company is based on three pillars:

·Divestments: non-strategic or low synergy assets, and opportunistic offerings;
·Expansion: mainly through investments in our distribution and transmission concessions, greenfield projects in renewable sources and with the renewing of power generation concessions; and
·Management: synergy improvement, capital structure and distribution policy and governance enhancing.

 

All of these pillars may be affected by external factors that are beyond the control of the Company, in particular any divestment transactions which must take into consideration particular risks associated with each relevant business, such as performance (technical, operational, commercial and financial), market risks, sectorial risks and national and international macroeconomic risks (e.g., market volatility). Furthermore, any closing of divestment transactions will depend on the favorable development of negotiations with potential investors regarding the conditions of the possible transactions. The Company cannot provide any assurances that factors outside of its control will not hinder the implementation of its strategies to maximize shareholder value.

We may be unable to implement our long-term strategic plans within the desired timeframe, or without incurring unforeseen costs, which could have adverse consequences for our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to meet our strategic objectives depends, largely, on successful, cost-effective and timely implementation of our Long-term Strategy and our Multi-year Business Plan. The following are some of the factors that could negatively affect the implementation of our strategic plans:

·Inability to generate cash flow, or obtain the future financing, necessary for implementation of the particular projects or strategic objectives;
·Inability to obtain necessary governmental licenses and approvals;
·Unexpected engineering and environmental problems;
·Unexpected delays in the processes of eminent domain and establishment of servitude rights;
·Unavailability of the necessary workforce or equipment;
·Labor strikes;
·Delays in delivery of equipment by suppliers;
·Delays resulting from failures of suppliers or third parties to comply with their contractual obligations;
·Delays or stoppages caused by climate factors, or environmental restrictions;
·Changes in the environmental legislation creating new obligations and causing additional costs for projects;
·Legal instability caused by political issues;
·Substantial changes in economic, regulatory, hydrological or other conditions; and
·The extension of the duration and severity of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impacts on our business.

 

The occurrence of the above factors, separately or taken together, could lead to a significant increase in costs, and might delay or impede the implementation of initiatives, and consequently compromise the execution of our strategic plans and negatively affect our operating and financial results.

Furthermore, as we are a mixed-capital company controlled by the State of Minas Gerais, we are subject to changes to our board of directors and executive officers because of changes in the Executive Branch of the State government from time to time, as a result of elections and political instability. These types of changes may adversely affect the continuity of the Company’s strategy.

 

The operating and financial results of our subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and affiliates, minority investees or from any companies, which we may acquire in the future, may negatively affect our strategies, operating results and financial situation.

We own equity in and do business through various subsidiaries and investees, including companies with assets in the energy generation and transmission sectors, energy and natural gas distribution sectors and other related business. The future development of our subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and affiliates, such as Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica S.A. (‘Taesa’) and Aliança Geração de Energia S.A. (‘Aliança’), Guanhães Energia S.A., Norte Energia S.A. (‘NESA’) and Madeira Energia S.A. (‘MESA’), in which the Company has significant financial commitments, could have a significant impact on our business and operating results. The Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations is correlated, in part, to the cash flow and the profits of its subsidiaries and investees, and the distribution to the Company by such companies of profits in the form of dividends or other advances or payments. If these companies’ abilities to generate profits and cash flows are reduced, this may cause a reduction of dividends and interest on capital paid to the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

In addition, the investees may not achieve the results expected when they were acquired. The process of integration for any acquired business could subject the Company to certain risks, such as, for example, the following: (i) unexpected expenses; (ii) inability to integrate the activities of the companies acquired with a view to obtaining the expected economies of scale and efficiency gains; (iii) possible delays related to integration of the operations of companies; (iv) exposure to potential contingencies; (v) legal claims made against the acquired business that were unknown at the time of its acquisition; (vi) environmental licensing and liabilities, (vii) hydrological risk, (viii) power system operation and control, and (ix) general claims. The Company might be unsuccessful in dealing with these or other risks, or problems related to any other operation of a future acquisition and be negatively affected by the companies acquired or which may be acquired in the future.

Furthermore, some of our subsidiaries and investees might, in the future, enter into agreements with creditors that could restrict dividend payments or other transfers of funds to the Company.

These subsidiaries are separate legal entities. Any rights that we may have in relation to the receipt of assets or other payments in the event of liquidation or reorganization of any subsidiary, could be structurally subordinated to the demands of the creditors of such subsidiary (including tax authorities, commercial creditors and lenders to those subsidiaries).

Any deterioration in the operating results or financial conditions of these subsidiaries, and any sanctions or penalties imposed on them, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business results of operations or financial condition.

 

Delayed completion of construction projects or late capitalization of new investments in our generation, transmission and distribution companies could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We are constantly engaged in the construction and expansion of our plants, transmission lines, distribution networks and substations, and regularly consider other potential load expansion projects. The Company’s ability to complete projects within deadlines and on budget, without adverse economic effects, is subject to various risks. For instance, we may encounter the following:

·Complications in the planning and execution stages of load expansion projects and other new investments may occur, such as strikes, lagging suppliers of materials and services, delays in tender processes, embargos on work, unexpected geological and climate conditions, political and environmental uncertainties, financial instability of our partners, contractors and subcontractors;
·Regulatory or legal challenges that delay the date expansion projects are put into operation;
·New assets might operate below planned capacity, or cost related to their operation or installation may be higher than planned;
·Difficulty in obtaining adequate working capital to fund expansion projects;
·The unintentional shutdown of transmission assets during execution of the load expansion projects can reduce the revenue of the Transmission business;
·ONS’s (‘Operador Nacional do Sistema’, Brazil’s ISO) refusal to authorize the execution of work on the transmission grid, due to power system restrictions;
·Environmental demands and claims by local communities during construction of power generation plants, transmission lines, distribution lines, distribution networks and substations; and
·Depletion of the outage duration indicator limit – SAIDI-i (known as Duração Equivalente de Interrupção por Unidade Consumidora - DECi) forcing construction to halt. If SAIDI-i limit is violated (either by system fault, equipment failure or construction work) for two years in a row between 2017 and 2021, or violated specifically in the year 2021, this will result in the Grantor initiating a legal process for the termination of the concession agreement. Please read the information in the section entitled “Quality indicators – DEC and FEC (SAIDI and SAIFI)” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

If faced with any of these or similar issues related to the new investments or to the expansion of our generation, transmission or distribution capacity, the Company might incur increased costs or lower profitability than originally expected for the projects.

 

The level of default by our customers could adversely affect our business, operating results and/or financial situation, as well as those of our subsidiaries.

On December 31, 2021, the past-due receivables owed by our customers, traders and concession holders were approximately R$1,249 million (R$1,510 million in 2020), corresponding to 3.71% of our consolidated net revenue in 2021 (5.99% in 2020). We have recorded in 2021 an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of R$833 million (R$712 million in 2020). The possibility exists that we may be unable to collect amounts receivable from various customers, which are in arrears. If such debts are not totally or partially settled, we will suffer an adverse impact on our business, operating results and/or financial situation. Additionally, the amount of debts in arrears from our customers that exceeds the allowance could cause an adverse effect on our business, operating results and/or financial condition.

 

CEMIG D’s economic and financial sustainability is directly related to the effectiveness of the actions to control energy losses, and the regulatory limits established for it. If CEMIG D fails in successfully controlling energy loss, its business, operations, profit and financial situation could be substantially and adversely affected.

The energy losses of a distribution company comprise two types of losses: technical losses and non-technical (commercial) losses. Technical losses are inherent to the process of transporting and the transformation of electric power and occur in the cables and equipment of the energy system. Non-technical losses comprise energy that is supplied and not invoiced, which may be the result of illegal connections (theft), fraud, metering errors or failures in internal processes.

CEMIG’s Total Losses Index as of December 31, 2021, using a 12-month window, was 11.27%. This percentage is in relation to the total energy injected into the distribution system (the total volume of losses was 6,135 GWh). Of that percentage, 8.77% comprised technical losses, and 2.50% comprised non-technical losses. This result was 1.3 percentage points lower than the result for December 2020 (12.57%), and below the regulatory target set by ANEEL for 2021 (11.28%).

From a regulatory point of view, ANEEL has been increasingly rigorous in establishing target caps for distribution losses. The target caps for non-technical losses are set based on a benchmarking model that compares using an index, which measures the social-economic complexity of each concession area and how efficient the distributors are in combating non-technical energy losses. For the targets for technical losses, ANEEL uses metering measurements and power flow software.

In light of this complex scenario involving regulatory uncertainties, even with the implementation of a strategy to reduce technical and commercial losses, CEMIG cannot guarantee that the target caps for losses established by ANEEL will be met in the short term, and this could affect the Company’s financial situation and operating results, since the portion of a distribution company’s power losses that exceeds the regulatory cap cannot be passed through to customers as an expense in the form of an increase in tariffs.

 

Dams are part of the critical and essential infrastructure in the Brazilian energy sector. Dam failures can cause serious damage to affected communities and to the Company.

There is an intrinsic risk of dam failure, due to factors that may be internal or external to the structure (such as, for example, failure of a dam upstream from the site). The scale, and nature, of the risk are not entirely predictable. Thus, we are subject to the risk of a dam failure that could have repercussions far greater than the loss of hydroelectric generation capabilities. The failure of a dam could result in economic, social, regulatory, and environmental damage and potential loss of human life in the communities downstream from dams, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s image, business, results of operations and financial condition.

We might be held responsible for impacts on our own workforce, on the population and the environment, due to accidents related to our generation, transmission and distribution systems and facilities.

Our operations, especially those related to transmission and distribution lines, present risks that may lead to accidents, such as electrocutions, explosions and fires. These accidents may be caused by natural occurrences, human errors, technical failures and other factors. As a significant part of our operations is conducted in urban areas, the population is a factor to be constantly considered. Any incident that occurs at our facilities or in human occupied areas, whether regularly or irregularly, can result in serious damages such as loss of life, environmental and material damage, loss of production and liability in civil, criminal and environmental lawsuits. These events may also result in reputational damage, financial damages, penalties for the Company and its officers and directors, and difficulties in obtaining or maintaining concession contracts and operating licenses.

 

Requirements and restrictions imposed by environmental agencies might require the Company to incur additional costs.

Our operations relating to generation, distribution and transmission of energy and distribution of natural gas are subject to various Federal, state and municipal laws and regulations, and to numerous requirements relating to the protection of health and the environment. Delays by the environmental authorities, or the refusal of license requests by them, or any inability on our part to meet the requirements set by these bodies during the environmental licensing process, may result in additional costs, or even, depending on the circumstances, prohibit or restrict the construction or maintenance of these projects.

Any non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations, such as construction and operation of a potentially polluting facility without a valid license or authorization, could give rise to the obligation to remedy any damages that are caused (third party liability) and result in criminal and administrative sanctions. Under Brazilian legislation, criminal penalties, such as imprisonment and restriction of rights, may be applied to individuals (including managers of legal entities), and penalties such as fines, restriction of rights or community service may be applied to companies. With respect to administrative sanctions, depending on the circumstances, the environmental authorities may: (i) impose warnings, or fines, ranging from R$50,000 to R$50 million; (ii) require partial or total suspension of activities; (iii) suspend or restrict tax benefits; (iv) cancel or suspend lines of credit from governmental financial institutions; or (v) prohibit us from contracting with governmental agencies, companies or authorities. Any of these actions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are also subject to Brazilian legislation that requires payment of compensation if our activities have polluting effects. According to Federal Law No. 9,985/2000, Federal Decree No. 6,848/2009, and Minas Gerais State Decree No. 45,175/2009, up to 0.5% of the total amount invested in the implementation of a project that causes significant environmental impact should be used to pay for offsetting, based on the project’s specific level of pollution and environmental impact. State Decree 45,175/2009 (‘Decree 45,175’) also indicated that the compensation rate will be applied retroactively to projects implemented prior to promulgation of the present legislation.

Among the provisions of law that can lead to operating investments and expenses, one is compliance with the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (the ‘Convention’), to which Brazil is a signatory, assuming the international commitment to withdraw the use of PCB by 2025, and its complete prohibition by 2028, through Decree No. 5,472, of June 20, 2005. The legislation to be enacted for this purpose could have a major effect on the energy industry and on CEMIG, due to the possibility of obligations to list, replace and dispose of equipment and materials containing substances included in the Convention such as Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).

If we are unable to meet the technical requirements established by the environmental agencies during the process of licensing, this might prejudice the installation and operation of our projects, or make carrying out of our activities more difficult, which could negatively affect our business, financial, condition and results of operations.

Finally, the adoption or implementation of new safety, health and environmental laws, new interpretations of existing laws, increased rigidity in the application of the environmental laws, or other developments in the future might require us to make additional capital expenditures or incur additional operating expenses in order to maintain our current operations. They might also restrain our production activities or demand that we take other action that could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Cyberattacks, or violation of the security of our data might lead to an interruption of our operations, or a leak of confidential information either of the Company, or of our customers, third parties or interested parties, might cause financial losses, legal exposure, damage to reputation or other severe negative consequences for the Company.

We manage and store personal and sensitive or confidential data related to our business. Our information technology systems may be vulnerable to a variety of and cybersecurity breaches and incidents. Computer hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions, or cause shutdowns. Computer hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products.

The costs we may incur to eliminate or address the security problems and security vulnerabilities before or after a cyber-related incident could be significant. Our remediation efforts may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service, and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our critical functions.

Successful cybersecurity attacks, breaches, employee malfeasance, or human or technological error may result in unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, improper use, loss or destruction of data or systems, including those belonging to us, our customers or third parties; theft of sensitive, regulated or confidential data including personal information; the loss of access to critical data or systems through ransomware, destructive attacks or other means; transaction errors; business delays; and service or system disruptions. We have observed an increase in cybersecurity attacks worldwide in 2020 and 2021, and the remote working arrangements that we have implemented due to the Covid-19 pandemic have increased our dependence on information technology systems and infrastructure, and they may further expand our vulnerability to this risk. In the event of such actions, we, our customers or other third parties could be exposed to risk of loss or improper use of this information, resulting in litigation and potential liability, damage to our brand and reputation, or otherwise harm our business. In addition, we rely on third-party infrastructure providers whose potential security vulnerabilities could have impact in our business.

The regulatory environment with regards to cybersecurity, privacy and data protection issues is increasingly complex and may have impacts on our business, including increased risk, costs and expanded compliance obligations.

Failures in the security of our databases containing customer personal data, as well as events related to non-compliance with data privacy and protection legislation may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and reputation.

We have databases containing collected personal data from our customers, partners and collaborators. Any improper use of this data, or failures in the correct use of our security protocols may negatively affect the integrity of those databases. Unauthorized access to information concerning our customers, or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, may subject us to lawsuits, and as consequence, we might incur financial liabilities, penalties and reputational damage.

The Brazil General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, or LGPD), was signed into law in August 2018 and came into effect on September 18, 2020, with the exception of the administrative sanctions, which are expected to come into effect in August 2021 establishes rules and obligations regarding the collection, processing, storage and use of personal data and impacts all economic sectors including the relationship between customers and suppliers of goods and services, employees and employers and other relationships in which personal data is collected, whether in a digital or physical environment. Violations of the LGPD carry financial risks due to penalties for data breach or improper processing of personal data. The new legislation establishes penalties for non-compliance that include application of fines of up 2% of revenues, limited to R$50 million, for the most serious infringements. An increased number of data protection laws around the globe may continue to result in increased compliance costs and risks. The potential costs of compliance with or imposed by new or existing regulations and policies that are applicable to us may affect our business and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Increases in energy purchase prices could cause an imbalance in CEMIG D’s cash flows.

The expense on purchase of power from the distributors is currently strongly linked to the PLD price (Availability Contracts, Physical Guarantee quotas, and Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant quotas) and to MRE’s adjustment factor (Physical Guarantee quotas, Itaipu quotas and Hydrological Risk of the plants that have been renegotiated).

In 2021, a combination of negative factors affected purchases by the distributors, including (i) an adverse period in terms of rainfall, resulting in high spot prices from May to October; and (ii) seasonality of the physical guarantee of the MRE, allocating a large volume of energy in the second half of 2021, resulting in very low MRE adjustment factors between June and November.

The ‘Flag Account’ (Conta Centralizadora de Recursos de Bandeiras Tarifárias – CCRBT or ‘Conta Bandeira’) manages the funds that are collected from captive customers of distribution concession and permission holders operating in the national grid, and are paid, on behalf of the CDE, directly to the Flag Account. The resulting funds are passed through by the CCEE to distribution agents, based on the difference between the realized amounts of costs of thermal generation and the exposure to short term market prices, and the amount covered by the tariff in force The first half of 2019 had a smaller deficit on the Flag account compared to same period in the previous year and, as of June, 2019, the account no longer presented a deficit and 2019 ended with an accumulated surplus of R$745 million for all distribution companies in Brazil. This positive result was due to the better hydrological conditions of the system.

In 2020, the surplus lasted for almost the entire year, but started a declining trend from October, reaching a deficit of around R$3 billion in November for all distribution companies. The reason for the deficit was the increase in energy costs, mainly due to a considerable increase in PLD prices in that month. Due to the actions undertaken to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic, ANEEL suspended the application of tariff flags in 2020, but with the scenario getting worse, there was a necessity to reapply it in December 2020 at its maximum value.

In 2021, hydrological conditions continued to deteriorate and several measures were taken to avoid energy rationing. As a result, the Company decided to carry out a greater dispatch of energy from plants with higher costs (thermal generation), which had a consequential impact on the costs of the flag account. 2021 started with a deficit of approximately R$3 billion, which amount increased throughout the year. In order to stabilize the balance of the account against the increase in generation cost of electricity power, the Brazilian government instituted the so-called “bandeira escassez hídrica”, increasing the amount of the surcharge to be charged from consumers and which will be used during the period of September 2021 until April 2022.

The methodology of the Tariff Flag system is reviewed every year; however, under the present methodology, when very adverse situations occur the system cannot respond sufficiently, resulting in negative effects on distributors’ cash position. This factor could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Brazil’s supply of energy is heavily dependent on hydroelectric plants, which in turn depends on climatic conditions to produce energy. Adverse hydrological conditions that result in lower generation of hydroelectric power could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Hydroelectric generation is predominant in Brazil. The advantages of hydroelectric power have also been widely publicized due to it being a renewable resource and avoids substantial expenditures on fuels in thermal generation plants. At the same time, the main risk related to the use of this resource arises from the variability of the flows to the plants. There are substantial seasonal variations in monthly and annual flows, which depend fundamentally on the volume of rain that falls in each season. Adverse hydrological conditions in the Brazilian southeast region caused drought and water scarcity in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro in the past. These conditions might become worse during the dry period, which occurs from April through September. This could cause rationing of water consumption and/or energy, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

To deal with this difficulty, the Brazilian system has a complementary component of thermoelectric generation plants, and a growing portfolio of wind farms and Photovoltaic solar farms. It also has accumulation reservoirs, the purpose of which is to secure water from the rainy to the dry period and from one year to the next. However, these mechanisms are not able to absorb all the adverse consequences of a prolonged hydrological shortage, like the one that we have seen in the recent past.

The National Energy System Operator (Operador Nacional do Sistema, or ‘ONS’) coordinates the operation of the Brazilian energy system. Its primary function is to achieve optimal operation of the resources available, minimizing operating costs, and the risks of energy shortage. In periods when the hydrological situation is adverse, a decision by the ONS might, for example, reduce generation by hydroelectric plants and increase thermal generation, which results in higher costs for the hydroelectric generating agents, as happened in 2014. In the distributors, this increase in costs generates an increase in the purchase price of energy that is not always passed through to the customer at the same moment, generating mismatches in cash flows, with an adverse effect on the business and financial situation of those distributors. In addition, in extreme cases of scarcity of energy due to adverse hydrological situations, the system might undergo rationing, which could result principally in reduction of cash flow.

The MRE aims to mitigate the impact of the variability of generation of the hydroelectric plants. This mechanism shares the generation of all the hydroelectric plants in the system in such a way as to supplement the shortage of generation of one plant with excess generation by another. However, this mechanism is not able to eliminate the risk of the generation players, because when there is an extremely unfavorable hydrological situation, to the extent that all the plants in aggregate are unable to reach the sum of their Physical Guarantee levels of energy output, this mechanism makes an adjustment to the Physical Guarantee of each plant through the Physical Guarantee Adjustment Factor (Fator de Ajuste da Garantia Física, or ‘GSF’), resulting in the generating companies being exposed to the short-term (‘spot’) market.

The company transferred to captive customers the hydrological risk related to Queimado and Irapé power plants (Regulated Market Contracts), in exchange for payment of a ‘risk premium’, while also receiving indemnity for the losses suffered in 2015 through.

In the free market, we do not have the same process, since even with the payment of the premium, generation companies would have had to continue assuming the hydrological risk at moments of critical hydrology. Thus, no plant that sells energy in the free market signed up for any renegotiation of hydrological risk.

Those operators that did not subscribe to the renegotiation continued to have injunctions preventing charging of the hydrological risk in full. These injunctions are causing a deficit of approximately R$1.078 billion in the short-term market as of December 2021. This position increases the level of default calculated by the CCEE, thus reducing the amounts received by creditor agents in the short-term market. To avoid this effect, some creditor agents filed for further injunctions to acquire the right to priority in receipt. This effect leads to uncertainty in the market, reduction of liquidity, increase of default, and reduction in amounts received in the short-term market, representing a risk for the Company.

Any substantial seasonal variation in the monthly flows and in the total of flows over the year could limit hydroelectric generation, making it necessary to use alternative generation systems, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s costs, including court fees and expenses relating to the subject.

Law 14,052/2020 and Resolution 895/2020 proposed the reimbursement of agents holding the concession of hydraulic plants in the MRE of the effects: (i) generation in disregard of the merit order which means dispatching energy to the grid in disregard of the ascending price ranking for energy generation, (ii) anticipation of delivery of firm energy to the system of relevant power plants, and (iii) restriction to the supply of energy to the grid due to delay in the transmission system. These effects were calculated retroactively from 2012 to 2020, updated and remunerated at the ANEEL rate of 9.63%. The amount has been paid through extension of the plants' concession. With this new agreement, injunctions are expected to be withdrawn and market deficits to be settled. In this way, the liquidity of the market in the short term and the default in the CCEE should return to their historical values.

 

The rules for energy trading and market conditions may affect the sale prices of energy.

Under applicable laws, our generation companies are not allowed to sell energy directly to distributors. Thus, the power generated by our companies is sold in the Regulated Market (Ambiente de Contratação Regulado, or ‘ACR’) – also referred to as the ‘Pool’ – through public auctions held by ANEEL, or through the Free Market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre, or ‘ACL’) through bilateral negotiations with customers and traders. The applicable legislation allows distributors that sign contracts for existing energy supply (‘energia existente’) with generation companies in the Regulated Market to reduce the quantity of energy contracted by up to 4%, per year, in relation to the amount of the original contract, for the entire period of the contract. This exposes our generation companies to the risk of not selling the de-contracted supply at adequate prices.

We conduct trading activities through power purchase and sale agreements, mainly in the Free Market, through our generation and trading companies. Contracts in the Free Market may be entered into with other generating entities, energy traders, or mainly, with ‘free customers.’ Free customers are customers with a demand of 1.5 MW or more: they are allowed to choose their energy supplier, this limit will be reduced to 1.0 MW in 2022 and 0.5 MW in 2023 (Ordinance 465, published by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in December 2019). Some contracts have flexibility in the amount sold, allowing the customer to consume a higher or lower amount (5% on average) from our generating companies than the original amount contracted, which might cause an adverse impact on our business, operating results and/or financial situation.

Other contracts do not allow for this kind of flexibility in the purchase of energy, but increased competition in the Free Market could influence the occurrence of this type of arrangement in purchase contracts.

In addition to the free customers referred to above, there is a category of customers referred to as ‘Special Customers’, which are those with contracted demand between 0.5 MW and 1.5 MW. Special Customers are eligible to participate in the Free Market provided they buy energy from incentive-bearing alternative sources, such as Small Hydroelectric plants, biomass plants or wind farms. As envisaged by the Ordinance 465/2019, by 2023 the demand restriction for free consumers will suffer reduction from 3.0 MW to 0.5 MW and consider there will be no more separation of free and special consumers. The Company has conducted sales transactions for this category of energy from specific energy resources in particular companies of the CEMIG Group and, since 2009; the volume of these sales has gradually increased. The Company has formed a portfolio of purchase contracts, which now occupies an important space in the Brazilian energy market for incentive-bearing alternative power sources. Contracts for the sale of energy to these customers have specific flexibilities to serve their needs, and these flexibilities of greater or lesser consumption are linked to the historic behavior of these loads. Higher or lower levels of consumption by these customers may cause purchase or sale exposures to spot prices, which can have an adverse impact on our business, operating results and/or financial situation. Market variations, such as variations of prices for signature of new contracts, and of volumes consumed by our customers in accordance with flexibilities previously contracted, can lead to spot market positions, which can potentially have a negative financial impact on our results.

The MRE aims to reduce the exposure of generators of hydroelectric power, such as our generation companies, to the uncertainties of hydrology. It functions as a pool of hydroelectric Generation Companies, in which the generation of all the plants participating in the MRE is shared in such a way as to meet the demand of the pool. When the totality of the plants generates less than the amount demanded, the mechanism reduces the assured offtake levels of the plants, causing a negative exposure to the short-term (‘spot’) market and, therefore, the need to purchase power supply at the spot price. Correspondingly, when the total generation of the plants is higher than the volume demanded, the mechanism increases the guaranteed offtake level of the plants, leading to a positive exposure, permitting the liquidation of power at the PLD. In years of poor rainfall, the reduction factor, which applies to the assured energy levels, can reduce the levels of the hydroelectric plants by 20% or more.

Low liquidity or volatility in future prices, due to market conditions and/or perceptions, could negatively affect our results of operations. Further, if we are unable to sell all the power that we have available (our own generation capacity plus contracts under which we have bought supply of power) in the regulated public auctions or in the Free Market, the unsold capacity will be sold in the CCEE at the PLD, which tends to be very volatile. If this occurs in periods of low spot prices, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The PLD’s value is calculated through the results of the optimization models of the operation of the national grid used by the ONS and by the CCEE. The PLD is currently published weekly by the CCEE for three load levels (light, medium and heavy). The models depend on entry data revised by the ONS at each period of four months, monthly, and weekly. In this system, there is the possibility that errors occur during the input of data into the model, which can lead to an unexpected change in the PLD. Alteration of these models, and errors in data input, constitute risks for the trading business, because they cause uncertainty in the market, reducing liquidity, and financial losses due to the unexpected change of price. To mitigate the risk of change of the models during the current year, the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) published a note in 2016 which established that changes in the mathematical models used in the sector will need to be approved by the CPAMP (‘Comissão Permanente para Análise de Metodologias’ – Standing Committee for Methodologies Analysis and Energy Industry Computer Programs) by July 31 of each year in order to be in force in the subsequent year.

The Covid-19 pandemic has put the world on alert, prompting countries to take substantial measures to reduce the spread of the virus. In Brazil, these measures started in Mid-March of 2020 and their impacts on the Brazilian energy market were noticed almost immediately with a reduction in the energy consumption of the National Integrated System of approximately 13% in the week following the implementation of these measures. The reduction in consumption, with the consequent deceleration of the economy, lead to an increase in the levels of the reservoirs, since less hydroelectric generation is necessary to meet the lower consumption. Thus, the combination of these factors led to a reduction in prices in the short-term market. With regard to market prices, the evolution of systemic conditions and the revision in market forecasts led to a reduction in contract prices in the medium term. In this sense, the increase or decrease in exposure will depend on the contractual position and contract flexibility at each moment.

In 2020, the frequency of changes in the PLD were increased to hourly. Having an hourly PLD improves the PLD’s adherence to the real operation of the system, which will then better capture the hourly changes in the intermittent sources (solar and wind). This better alignment of price with operation tends to reduce the System and Service Charges (‘ESS’), and to remunerate the thermoelectric generation plants more efficiently when they are activated. On the other hand, the quality of the entry data when input on an hourly basis, especially for solar and wind sources, introduces one more element of uncertainty to the pricing of the market.

 

The anticorruption investigations currently in progress in Brazil, which have had large-scale public exposure, and any allegations against or anticorruption investigations of CEMIG, may have adverse effects on the perception of Brazil, as well as on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Certain anti-corruption investigations could have adverse effects on CEMIG or other companies of the CEMIG Group. Investors’ perception of Brazil has been adversely affected by investigations of public corruption in large Brazilian companies, and by political events, which may represent potential risks to the social and economic outlooks for Brazil.

Among the Brazilian companies involved in these investigations are state-controlled companies in the oil and gas, electricity and infrastructure sectors, and private companies in the construction and equipment supplier sectors, which are being submitted to investigations due to accusations of corruption by the Brazilian Securities Commission (‘CVM’), the Federal Police, the Brazilian Public Attorneys, the Federal Audit Board, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) and the U.S. Department of Justice (‘DOJ’), among others.

In the energy industry, Eletrobras has set up an independent internal investigation into possible non-compliance with law and/or regulations indicated by media reports that alleged illegal acts related to service providers of Norte Energia S.A. (NESA) and of Madeira Energia S.A. (MESA) for the construction of Belo Monte and Santo Antônio hydroelectric plants, respectively and some other special purposes entities, in which Eletrobras holds a minority stake. There have been no direct findings against NESA or MESA nor against any of its managers or employees, and the supposed illegal acts are in fact alleged to have taken place before NESA was formed. The internal investigation, however, estimated the economic and financial impact of these alleged illegal acts, related to NESA’s service providers at R$183 million, and this was considered by Eletrobras and by NESA in accounting analyses and conclusions for the year ended December 31, 2015. This total supposedly represents amounts estimated in excess for acquisition of machines, equipment, services, capitalized charges and administrative expenses, since the alleged improper payments were not made by NESA, but by contractors and suppliers of the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant; and this impedes identification of the amount and precise periods of the payments.

CEMIG holds, through CEMIG GT, an 11.69% indirect minority stake in NESA, through the jointly controlled entities Aliança Norte Energia Participações S.A. and Amazônia Energia S.A. and the estimated amount of losses has already been recorded in CEMIG’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The independent internal investigation of MESA, concluded in February 2019, in the absence of any future developments such as any leniency agreements by third parties that may come to be signed or collaboration undertakings that may be signed by third parties with the Brazilian authorities, found no objective evidence enabling it to be affirmed that there were any supposed undue payments by MESA that should be considered for possible accounting write-off, pass-through or increase of costs to compensate undue advantages and/or linking of MESA with the acts of its suppliers, in the terms of the witness accusations and/or cooperation statements that have been made public.

Since 2017, Renova, a company in which CEMIG has a direct stake of 13.80%, is part of a formal investigation conducted by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais State in relation to certain injections of capital made by some of its controlling shareholders, including the Company, and capital injections made by Renova in certain projects under development in previous years. The equity interest held in Renova, which carrying amount is zero, was classified as an asset held for sale on December 31, 2021.

On April 11, 2019, the Brazilian Federal Police commenced the ‘Operation E o Vento Levou’ as part of the Lava Jato Investigation and executed a search and seizure warrant issued by a Federal Court of São Paulo at Renova’s head office in São Paulo, based on allegations and indications of misappropriation of funds harmful to the interests of CEMIG. Based on the allegations being investigated, these events are alleged to have taken place before 2015. On July 25, 2019, the second phase of such investigation was initiated.

The ‘Operation E o Vento Levou’ and the police investigation of the Minas Gerais State Civil Police (PCMG) have not yet been concluded. Thus, there is a possibility that material information may be revealed in the future. If a criminal action is filed against agents who damaged Renova, Renova intends to act as auxiliary to the prosecution in any criminal proceedings, and subsequently sue for civil recovery of the damages suffered.

In 2019, the tax authority issued infraction notices against Renova, questioning the calculation of income tax and social contribution tax, and payment of withholding income, relating to contracts of services which allegedly did not have the due performance, in the estimated amount of R$89 million. Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, Renova provided for this amount as contingency on its financial statements.

Due to these third-party investigations, the governance bodies of Renova requested the opening of an internal investigation, conducted by a third-party investigator with the support of an external law firm. The internal investigation was concluded on February 20, 2020, and according to a statement Renova issued at the time, no concrete evidence of acts of corruption or diversion of funds to political campaigns was identified.

However, the independent investigators identified irregularities in the conducting of business and agreement of contracts by Renova, including: (i) payments without evidence of the performance of services, in the total amount of approximately R$40 million; (ii) payments not in accordance with the company’s internal policies and best governance practices, in the total amount of approximately R$137 million; and (iii) deficiencies in the internal controls of the investee.

As a result of the analysis of the above-mentioned values, Renova concluded that R$35 million relates to effective assets and therefore no impairment was necessary. The remaining amount of R$142 million was already impaired in previous years, producing no impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In response to the irregularities found and based on the recommendations of the Monitoring committee and legal advisers, the Board of Directors of Renova decided to take all the steps necessary to preserve the rights of the investee, continue with the measures to obtain reimbursement of the losses caused, and strengthen Renova’s internal controls. Additionally, the Executive Board of Renova hired a Chief Officer for Governance, Risk and Compliance, who will be responsible, among other duties, for ensuring the effectiveness of Renova´s internal controls and compliance processes.

Since our investment at Renova, classified as held for sale, is fully impaired on December 31, 2021 and since no contractual or constructive obligations in relation to the investee have been assumed by the Company, it is not expected that effects resulting from the investigations can significantly impact the Company’s financial statements, even if such effects may not yet be recorded by Renova.

In addition to the cases above, there are investigations being conducted by the Public Attorneys’ Office of the State of Minas Gerais (MPMG) and by the Civil Police of the State of Minas Gerais (PCMG), which aim to investigate possible irregularities in the investments made by CEMIG in Guanhães Energia S.A. and in MESA (Santo Antônio Energia S.A. or ‘SAESA’). Additionally, on April 11, 2019 agents of the Brazilian Federal Police were in the Company’s head office in Belo Horizonte to execute a search and seizure warrant issued by a São Paulo Federal Court in connection with the ‘Operation E o Vento Levou’, as described above. These proceedings are being investigated by reviewing of documents requested by the respective authorities, and by hearing of witnesses. At present, it is not possible to determine what the results of the MPMG and PCMG’s investigations will be.

Considering these investigations, we contracted third-party investigator to analyze the internal procedures related to these investments, as well as the Company internal proceedings related to the acquisition of Light’s interest in Enlighted (see Note 25 of the Financial Statements). The independent investigation was subject to oversight of an independent investigation committee whose creation was approved by our Board of Directors. The independent investigation was completed in May 2020 and identified no objective evidence substantiating illegal acts made by Company in the Company’s investments that were the subjects of the investigation. Therefore, there was no impact in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

By the end of 2020, CEMIG initiated internal investigations into allegations that are the subjects of inquiries conducted by the MPMG, regarding certain alleged irregularities in public bidding and purchasing processes. The investigations are being conducted by a new Investigation Committee with support from third-party investigator and external law firm.

On November 24, 2021 the independent internal investigation begun in 2020 has been concluded, and its final report has been delivered and was approved by the Investigation Committee. However, the Company awaits completion of the investigations by the Public Attorneys’ Office of Minas Gerais State (MPMG) and by other Brazilian and international authorities that are still ongoing.

The Executive Board determined the establishment of a disciplinary administrative process (‘Processo Administrativo Disciplinar) to verify the veracity of the allegations and to pursue the preventive removal of all managers from the Supply and Logistics area, which aims to ensure impartiality and exemption in the investigations.

CEMIG is and has been fully cooperating with any and all investigation and inspection by competent authorities, whether in the United States or Brazil. For example, in July 2019, pursuant to the DOJ’s Corporate Enforcement Policy, the Company disclosed the above-described investigation to the DOJ and the SEC and has been cooperating with those agencies. We cannot guarantee that CEMIG or companies of the CEMIG Group will not in the future become target of legal actions based on these or future investigations, whether in the United States or Brazil.

Any future anti-corruption actions, which might find failures of conduct by the management of the Company or by third parties, might result in fines, penalties or significant negative postings in the accounts, or intangible damage, such as damage to reputation, and/or other significant, unforeseen, adverse effects.

 

We may be exposed to behaviors that are incompatible with our standards of ethics and compliance, and we might be unable to prevent, detect or remedy them in time, which might cause material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

Our businesses, including our relationships with third parties, are guided by ethical principles and rules of conduct that we have established. We have a range of internal rules that aim to orient our managers, employees and contractors, and to reinforce our ethical principles and rules of professional conduct. Due to the wide distribution and outsourcing of the production chains of our suppliers, we are unable to control all possible irregularities of these third parties. This means that we cannot guarantee that the financial, technical, commercial and legal evaluations that we use in our selection processes will be sufficient prevent our suppliers from having problems related to employment law, or sustainability, or in the outsourcing of the production chain with inadequate safety conditions. We also cannot guarantee that these suppliers, or third parties related to them, will not involve themselves in irregular practices. If a significant number of our suppliers involve themselves in irregular practices, we might be adversely affected.

Furthermore, we are subject to the risks that our employees, contractors or any person who may do business with us might become involved in activities of fraud, corruption or bribery, circumventing our internal controls and procedures, misappropriating or using our assets for private benefit to the detriment of the Company’s interests. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that there are some affiliates, such as special-purpose companies and joint ventures, in which we do not have control.

Our internal controls systems to identify, monitor and mitigate risks may not be effective in all circumstances, especially in relation to companies that are not under our control. In the case of companies, we have acquired, our internal controls systems might be incapable of identifying fraud, corruption or bribery that took place prior to the acquisition. Any failing in our capacity to prevent or detect non-compliance with the applicable rules of governance or of regulatory obligation could cause harm to our reputation, limit our capacity to obtain financing, or otherwise cause material adverse effects on our, business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

 

Two members of our board of directors are party to administrative and judicial proceedings and ongoing corruption investigations.

One member of our board of directors is a defendant in two "Civil Actions of Administrative Impropriety due to Damages to the Public Treasury" and another member of our board of directors is a defendant in a ‘Tax Evasion Action’, all in pre-trial proceeding stage. For more information, see “Item 6. Significant Civil and Criminal Proceedings Involving Key Management Members”. We cannot assure you that judicial and administrative proceedings, or even the commencement of new judicial and administrative proceedings against any members of our management or board of directors, will not impose limitations or restraints on the performance of the members of our management and board of directors that are a party to these proceedings. In addition, we cannot assure you that these limitations will not adversely affect us and our reputation.

 

The multiple uses of water and the various interests related to this natural resource might give rise to conflicts of interest between CEMIG and the society, which might cause losses to our business, results of operations or financial condition.

At present, considering projects and companies that are jointly controlled, CEMIG has 63 hydroelectric power plants, with 5,638 MW and representing 98% of our installed capacity.

Water is the main raw material for CEMIG’s production of energy and is a resource that is sensitive to climate change and vulnerable to the consequences of exploration of other natural resources, significantly impacted by human actions and subject to a regulatory environment.

CEMIG’s operation of reservoirs for generation of hydroelectric power essentially requires consideration of the multiple uses of water by other users in a river basin; and this in turn, leads to the need to take into account a range of constraints — environmental, safety, irrigation, human consumption, waterways and bridges, among others. In periods of severe drought, like those of 2013 until 2019, monitoring and forecasting the levels of reservoirs and the constant dialogue with the public authorities, civil society and users were essential for ensuring the generation of energy, and the other uses of this resource.

Finally, CEMIG uses a Risk Management System to analyze scenarios and determine the degree of financial exposure to risks, considering the probability of occurrence and its effect. In the scenarios relating to potential conflicts with other users, CEMIG evaluates both the effects arising from prolonged droughts, which can lead to an increase of competition between the energy sector and other users, and the effects of flood events occurring due to excessive rain. While CEMIG engages with other essential users and takes steps to analyze community input and studies on issues relating to the impact of water use, competing interests relating to water use could, subject to certain minimum limits previously established by law, affect its availability to us for use in the operations of certain of our projects, which could adversely affect our business results of operations and financial condition.

We are controlled by the government of the State of Minas Gerais, which might have interests that are different from the interests of our other investors, or even of the Company.

As our controlling shareholder, the government of the State of Minas Gerais exercises substantial influence on the strategic orientation of our business. Currently it holds 51% of the common shares of CEMIG and as majority shareholder has full powers to decide on business relating to the Company’s objects as stated in the by-laws, and to adopt whatever decisions it deems to be necessary for the defense of its interests and development.

The government of the State of Minas Gerais can elect the majority of our senior management and has the authority to approve, among other subjects, matters that require a qualified quorum of shareholders. The latter include transactions with related parties, shareholding reorganizations and the date and payment of dividends.

The government of the State of Minas Gerais, as our controlling shareholder, has the capacity to direct us to engage in activities and to make investments that promote the controlling shareholder’s economic or social objectives, and these might not be strictly aligned with the Company’s strategy or the strategies of our other shareholders, adversely affecting the direction of our business.

 

Our processes of governance, risk management, compliance and internal controls might fail to avoid regulatory penalties, damages to our reputation, or other adverse effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our Company is subject to various different regulatory structures, of which the following are examples: (a) laws and regulations of the Brazilian energy sector, such as Law No. 10,848/04 (on trading in energy), regulations by ANEEL; (b) the laws and regulations that apply to listed companies with securities traded on the Brazilian capital market, such as Law No. 6,404/76 (the ‘Corporate Law’), regulations of the CVM; (c) laws and regulations that apply to Brazilian companies with majority state-owned shareholdings, such as Law No. 13,303/2016 (the ‘State Companies Law’); (d) laws and regulations that apply to Brazilian companies that have securities registered with the SEC, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and regulations of the SEC; and (e) laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection, such as Law no. 13,709/2018 (the ‘General Data Protection Law, LGPD’), among others.

Furthermore, Brazil has rigorous legislation relating to maintaining competition combat of improbity and preventing corrupt practices. For instance, Law No. 12,846/13 (the ‘Anticorruption Law’) established objective liabilities for Brazilian companies that commit acts against Brazilian or foreign public administration, including acts relating to tender processes and administrative contracts, and established tough penalties for those companies that are punished.

The Company has a high number of administrative contracts with high values and a large number of suppliers and customers, which increases its exposure to risks of fraud and administrative impropriety.

Our Company has structures and policies for the prevention and combat of fraud and corruption, audit and internal controls, and has adopted the recommendations for Best Corporate Governance Practices recommended by the Brazilian Corporate Governance Institute (Instituto Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa, or ‘IBGC’) and the framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, due to the majority interest held by the State Government in our shareholding structure, we are required to contract the greater part of our works, services, advertising, purchases, disposals and rentals, through competitive tenders and administrative contracts, which are ruled by the Tenders Law, State Companies Law and other complementary legislation.

However, despite the Company having processes of governance, risk management and compliance, we might be unable to avoid future violations of the laws and regulations to which we are subject (regarding labor, tax, environment, energy, among others), or violations of our internal control mechanisms, our Declaration of Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct, or the occurrence of fraudulent or dishonest behavior by employees, or individuals or legal entities that are contracted, or other agents that may represent the company in dealings with third parties, especially with the Public Authorities.

Our management has identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting and has concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2016 to 2021, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Our management identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting for the last six years. For further information on the material weakness identified by our management, see “Item 15 - Controls and Procedures - Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Although we have developed and implemented several remediation measures, we cannot be certain that we will remedy our existing material weakness or that there will be no other one in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.

If our efforts to remediate the material weakness are not successful, we may be unable to report the Company’s results of operations for future periods accurately and in a timely manner and make our required filings with government authorities, including the SEC and the CVM. Any of these occurrences could adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Potential shortages of skilled personnel in operational areas could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

It is possible that we will experience shortages of qualified key personnel. In recent years, we have been carrying out voluntary severance incentive programs open to all our employees. Such programs may reduce our employees’ headcount by more than our ability to hire new ones to fill key positions. Our success depends on our ability to continue to successfully train our personnel so they can assume key positions in the organization. We cannot assure you that we will be able to properly train, qualify or retain key staff, or do so without costs or delays. Nor can we assure you that we will be able to hire new qualified personnel, in particular in operational areas, should the need arise. Any such failure could adversely affect our results of operations and our business.

 

Our ability to distribute dividends is subject to limitations.

Whether or not an investor receives dividends depends on whether our financial situation permits us to distribute dividends under Brazilian law, and whether our shareholders, on the recommendation of our Board of Directors, acting in its discretion, determine suspension, due to our financial circumstances, of the distribution of dividends in excess of the amount of mandatory distribution required under our by-laws in the case of the preferred shares.

Because we are a holding company with revenue-producing operations other than those of our operating subsidiaries, we can only distribute dividends to shareholders if the Company receives dividends or other cash distributions from our operating subsidiaries. The dividends that our subsidiaries can distribute depend on our subsidiaries generating sufficient profits in any given fiscal year and on restrictive covenant clauses in contracts for loans and financings of these subsidiaries as well as on any restriction imposed by the regulator, all of which place limits upon our subsidiaries’ payments of dividends to the Company. Similarly, we have a limitation on the payment of dividends which cannot exceed the mandatory minimum of 50% of the net income for the business year, as contained in our by-laws, due to restrictive covenant clauses in the contracts for loans and financings of the subsidiaries in which we are guarantors. Dividends are calculated and paid in accordance with applicable Brazilian corporate law and the provisions of the by-laws of each of our regulated subsidiaries.

ANEEL has discretion to establish the rates that distributors charge their customers. These rates are determined by ANEEL in such a way as to preserve the economic and financial balance of concession contracts entered into with ANEEL.

Concession agreements and Brazilian law have established a mechanism that permits three types of rate adjustment: (a) the Annual Adjustment; (b) the Periodic Review; and (c) the Extraordinary Review. The purpose of the Annual Adjustment (‘Reajuste Annual’) is to compensate for changes in costs that are beyond a company’s control, such as the cost of energy for supply to customers, the sector charges that are set by the Federal Government, and charges for use of the transmission and distribution facilities of other companies. Manageable costs, on the other hand, are adjusted by the IPCA inflation index, less a productivity and efficiency factor, known as the X Factor, which considers aspects such as distribution productivity and service quality standards. Every five years, there is a Periodic Tariff Review (Revisão Periódica Tarifária, or ‘RTP’), the purpose of which is to: identify the variations in costs referred to above; provide an adequate return on the assets that the Company has constructed during the period, establish a factor based on economies of scale, which will be taken into account in the subsequent annual tariff adjustments and define the efficient operational costs. An Extraordinary Tariff Review takes place whenever there is any unforeseen development that significantly alters the economic/financial equilibrium of the concession. Thus, although CEMIG D’s concession contracts specify preservation of their economic and financial balance, we cannot guarantee that ANEEL will set tariffs that do remunerate us adequately in relation to the investments made or the operating costs incurred due to the concession, and this might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial situation and operating results.

 

ANEEL through concessions contracts establish the Permitted Annual Revenue (Receita Anual Permitida or ‘RAP’) of our transmission companies; if any adjustments result in a reduction of the RAP, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. 

ANEEL defines the RAP that we receive through our transmission companies, on behalf of the Federal Government. The concession contracts provide for two mechanisms for the adjustment of revenues: (a) the annual tariff adjustments; and (b) the Periodic Tariff Review (‘Revisão Tarifária Periódica’). The annual tariff adjustment of our transmission revenues takes place annually in June and is effective in July of the same year. The annual tariff adjustments take into account the permitted revenues of the projects that have come into operation, and the revenue from the previous period is adjusted by the inflation index (IPCA for Contract No. 006/1997 and IGP-M for Contract No. 079/2000). The periodic tariff review takes place every five years. During the periodic tariff review, the investments made by a concession holder in the period and the operating costs of the concession are analyzed by ANEEL. The grantor takes into account only investments that it deems to be prudent, and operating costs that it assesses as having been efficient, using a benchmarking methodology. Thus, the tariff review mechanism is subject to some extent to the discretionary power of ANEEL, since it may omit investments that have been made, and could recognize revenues for operating costs lower than those actually incurred. This could result in a material adverse effect on our business results.

An Extraordinary Tariff Review takes place whenever there is any unforeseen development that significantly alters the economic/financial equilibrium of the concession. Thus, although our concession agreements specify that the economic and financial balance of the contract shall be preserved, we cannot guarantee that ANEEL will set tariffs that adequately compensate us in relation to the investments made or in relation to the operating costs incurred because of the concession. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have strict liability for any damages caused to third parties resulting from inadequate provision of energy services.

Under Brazilian law, we are strictly liable for direct and indirect damages resulting from the inefficient rendering of energy generation, transmission, distribution and related services. In addition, when damages are caused to final customers as a result of outages or disturbances in the generation, transmission and distribution system, whenever these outages or disturbances are not attributed to an identifiable member of the ONS or to the ONS itself, the liability for such damages is shared among generation, distribution and transmission companies. Until a party with final responsibility has been identified, the liability for such damages will be shared in the proportion of 35.7% to the distribution agents, 28.6% to the transmission agents and 35.7% to the generation agents. The number of votes establishes these proportions that each of these types of energy concession holders receives in the general meetings of the ONS, and as such, are subject to change in the future. Consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition might be adversely affected in the event we are held liable for any such damages.

 

We may incur losses and reputational damage in connection with pending litigation.

We are party to several legal and administrative proceedings relating to civil, administrative, environmental, tax, regulatory, labor and other claims. These claims involve a wide range of issues and seek indemnities and restitution in money and by specific performance. Several individual disputes account for a significant part of the total amount of claims against the Company. See “Item 8. Financial Information – Legal and Administrative Proceedings”. Our consolidated financial statements include provisions for risks in a total amount of R$1,9 billion, as of December 31, 2021, for actions in which the probability of loss have been assessed as ‘probable’.

One or more unfavorable decisions against us in any legal or administrative proceeding may have a material adverse effect on us. In addition to making provisions and the costs associated with legal fees, we may be required by the court to provide collateral for the proceedings, which may adversely affect our financial condition. In the event that our provisions for legal actions are insufficient, payments for actions in excess of the amounts provisioned could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, certain members of our management are involved as defendants in criminal proceedings that are currently pending, which may distract our management and negatively affect us and our reputation. See “Item 6. Significant Civil and Criminal Proceedings Involving Key Management Members”.

 

Environmental regulations require us to perform environmental impact studies on future projects and obtain regulatory permits.

For reasons of obligations imposed by Brazilian environmental law, we must conduct environmental impact studies and obtain regulatory and environmental permits and licenses for our current and future projects. We cannot assure that these environmental impact studies will be approved by environmental agencies, that environmental licenses will be issued, that public opposition will not result in delays or modifications to any proposed project, or that laws or regulations will not change or be interpreted in a manner that could materially adversely affect our operations or plans for the projects in which we have an investment. We believe that concern for environmental protection is also an increasing trend in our industry. Although we consider environmental protection when developing our business strategy, changes in environmental regulations, or changes in the policy of enforcement of existing environmental regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition by delaying the implementation of energy projects, increasing the costs of expansion.

Furthermore, the implementation of investments in the transmission sector has suffered delays due to the difficulty in obtaining the necessary regulatory and environmental permits and approvals. This has led to delays in investments in generation due to the lack of transmission lines to provide for the outflow of the energy generated. If we experience any of these or other unforeseen risks, we may not be able to generate, transmit and distribute energy in amounts consistent with our projections, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We operate without insurance policies against catastrophes and third-party liability.

Except for use of aircraft, we do not have third-party liability that covers accidents and we do not seek proposals for this type of insurance. CEMIG has not sought a proposal for, and has not contracted, insurance coverage against disasters, such as earthquakes or floods, that might affect our facilities. Any events of this type could generate unexpected additional costs, resulting in adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The insurance contracted by us might be insufficient to reimburse costs of damage.

Our business is normally subject to a range of risks, including industrial accidents, labor disputes, unexpected geological conditions, changes in the regulatory environment, environmental and climatic risks, and other natural phenomena. In addition, we and our subsidiaries might be found responsible for losses and damages caused to third parties as a result of failures to provide generation, transmission and/or distribution service.

We only maintain insurance for fire, risks involving our aircraft, and operational risks, as well as those types of insurance coverage that are required by law, such as transport insurance of goods belonging to legal entities.

We cannot guarantee that the insurance contracted by us will be sufficient to cover in full or at all any liabilities that may arise in the course of our business nor that these insurance policies will continue to be available in the future. The occurrence of claims in excess of the amount insured, or which are not covered by our insurance policies, might generate significant and unexpected additional costs, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and/or financial condition. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain our insurance coverage at favorable or acceptable commercial prices in the future.

 

Strikes, work stoppages or labor unrest by our employees or by the employees of our suppliers or contractors could adversely affect our results of operations and our business.

All of our employees are represented by labor unions. Disagreements on issues involving divestments or changes in our business strategy, reductions in our personnel, as well as potential employee contributions, could lead to labor unrest. We cannot ensure that strikes affecting our production levels will not occur in the future. Strikes, work stoppages or other forms of labor unrest at any of our major suppliers, contractors or their facilities could impair our ability to operate our business, complete major projects and adversely affect our ability to achieve our long-term objectives.

 

A substantial portion of the Company’s assets is tied to the provision of public services and would not be available for attachment as collateral for the enforcement of any court decision.

A substantial portion of the Company’s assets is tied to the provision of public services. These assets cannot be attached as collateral for the enforcement of any court decision because the assets revert to the concession-granting authority to ensure continuity in the provision of public services, according to applicable legislation and our concession agreements. Although the Brazilian Federal Government would be obligated to compensate us for early termination of our concessions, we cannot assure you that the amount ultimately paid by the Brazilian Federal Government would be equal to the market value of the reverted assets. These restrictions on liquidation may lower significantly the amounts available to holders of the notes in the event of our liquidation and may adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate financing.

Loss by our subsidiary Gasmig of its concession could cause losses in Gasmig’s results.

In 1993, Gasmig obtained the concession for commercial operation of supply of piped gas to the industrial, automotive, commercial, institutional and residential sectors in the state of Minas Gerais for a period of 30 years (‘the Concession Contract’). The concession was extended to January 10, 2053 under the Second Amendment to the Concession Contract, dated December 26, 2014.

On September 19, 2019, Gasmig executed the Third Amendment to the Concession Contract, which replaced the obligation of Gasmig to build a gas pipeline from the city of Queluzito, in Minas Gerais, in the direction of the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais, for a compensatory grant payment of R$852 million to the State of Minas Gerais and confirmed extension of the Concession Contract to January 10, 2053. In addition, Gasmig committed to reach a total of 100,000 clients served by the end of 2022, and to build networks to serve the seven meso-regions of the State of Minas Gerais. Currently, Gasmig serves five of these meso-regions.

Under Article 35 of Law 8987 of February 13, 1995 (‘the Concessions Law’), the concession is subject to termination under certain circumstances, including the following: (i) expiration of the contractual term; (ii) the operation being taken over by the state; (iii) termination for other reasons, usually of time, arising from law; (iv) rescission of the contract (amicably, or by the courts); (v) annulment of the concession contract as a result of a failing or irregularity found in a tender or public bid procedure or in the manner of its grant; or (vi) bankruptcy or extinction of the concession holder. In any of these circumstances, the concession assets will revert to the Concession-granting Power, the state of Minas Gerais (‘the Grantor’). In the event that Gasmig loses its concession for any reason, we cannot guarantee that any indemnity payable to Gasmig will be sufficient to compensate its investments, the implicit rate of return, nor loss of future profits relating to the assets not yet totally amortized or depreciated.

The activities carried out by Gasmig are subject to interruptions, disturbances and risks in the distribution system, caused by accidents, operational difficulties, damage, failure of equipment or processes, natural causes or catastrophes (such as explosions, fires, floods, landslides, sabotage, terrorism, vandalism, and others), which might result in Gasmig having an obligation to indemnify clients that suffer damages and might expose it to administrative or court proceedings.

In addition, Gasmig may suffer the intervention of the Grantor in the event that, in the Grantor´s opinion, there is a risk of Gasmig failing to perform the services, or if Gasmig has failed to perform its obligations under the concession contract or the applicable law. In such events, the Grantor could also levy fines against Gasmig or even revoke its concession.

Early termination of the Concession contract, and penalties in connection with such termination, would generate significant impacts on Gasmig’s results, and affect its capacity to pay and comply with its financial obligations. Gasmig’s concession will expire in January 2053, and may be extended, at the sole discretion of the Grantor.

 

Changes in the methodology and parameters adopted by the regulatory authorities in connection with the tariff review cycles of Gasmig may adversely impact our operations and financial condition.

The general parameters of tariff regulation are specified in the Concession Contract, which: (i) determines the general guidelines for adjustment of tariff; (ii) guarantees pass-through of the cost of acquisition of gas and of the tariff review; and (iii) determines the distribution margin, which enables the economic and financial sustainability of Gasmig in accordance with the best practices used by Brazilian and international regulatory agencies for the natural gas distribution sector.

The concession contract also provides that the tariff will be reviewed if events occur that put the economic and financial equilibrium of the Concession Contract at risk, in the form of and for the periods necessary to avoid losses due to tariffs becoming inadequate.

In November 2019 the Economic Development Department of Minas Gerais State (SEDE), a division of the Minas Gerais State Government, responsible for regulating the distribution of piped gas, completed the first tariff review cycle, in which the parameters for the remuneration rate, expectations of investments, costs and volumes for determining the tariffs in the 2018-2022 cycle were determined. In addition, SEDE included the impact of the payment of the Compensatory Grant in tariffs.

In August 2021, the Grantor proposed bringing forward the tariff review, for the purpose of making the necessary adaptations regarding the assumptions on which Gasmig’s tariff is based, with particular attention to the current scenario of the distributor’s operational costs and capital situation, and also adaptation of the targets for clients and investments, as specified, compared to those actually achieved in the current tariff cycle, so as to guarantee the economic-financial equilibrium of the concession Through Resolution No. 03, of January 31, 2022, the Sede/MG approved a tariff adjustment to be applied by Gasmig for the Industrial, Cogeneration, CNG/LNG, CNG, Residential and Commercial consumer classes as of February 1, 2022, with an average increase ranging from 16% to 26%, depending on the consumer class, in relation to the tariffs that have been in effect since November 2021. This increase refers to the variation in the costs of gas acquired by the Company and the readjustment of its distribution margin.

Changes in the tariff review cycles could cause a material adverse effect on Gasmig’s activities, affecting its financial condition and the results of its operations. These changes may also impact on market conditions and the prices of securities in Brazil, consequently adversely affecting Gasmig, and could change the price of gas or increase the costs of its activities.

 

Gasmig might not succeed in implementing the strategies in its long-term strategic plan at the desired moment, or might incur unexpected costs, which could have adverse consequences for its business, results of operations and financial condition. 

Gasmig’s capacity to comply with its strategic objectives depends, largely, on the timely, cost efficient and successful implementation of its long-term strategy.

The following are some of the factors that could negatively affect this implementation:

·Substantial changes in the economic conditions;
·Substantial changes in regulatory matters;
·Capacity to generate cash flow, or obtain future financing, necessary for implementation of projects;
·Inability to obtain necessary governmental licenses and approvals;
·Unexpected engineering problems;
·Unexpected investments in environmental matters arising from alterations in legislation and/or incidents that require indemnities for environment damage;
·Unexpected delays in the processes of expropriation and establishment of easements;
·Unavailability of sufficient workforce or of necessary equipment;
·Strikes or labor stoppages;
·Delay in delivery of equipment by suppliers;
·Inappropriateness of the physical facilities and equipment for ensuring uninterrupted activities of the business and protecting critical processes against failures and accidents;
·Delay resulting from failings by suppliers or third parties to comply with their contractual obligations;
·Climate-related factors, or environmental restrictions;
·Significant variations in hydrological conditions from historic averages, in particular rainfall at volumes or frequencies that deviate from historic averages;
·Changes in environmental legislation, creating obligations and causing additional costs for projects;
·Legal instability caused by political issues;
·Continuation of the restrictive conditions imposed by Covid-19 pandemic; and
·Occurrence of any of the above factors could result in significant increases in costs, or delay or inhibit the implementation of initiatives, and consequently compromise the execution of Gasmig’s strategic plan, with negative effects on the operational and financial results of Gasmig and CEMIG.

The existence of a single supplier of natural gas in Brazil affects competitiveness in the market in which Gasmig operates.

The Brazilian gas market is in the process of becoming more open and competitive, but there are still some obstacles to be overcome. In 2021 Gasmig held a bid for acquisition of gas. Various market players sent proposals; however as of the end of 2021, only Petrobras had the conditions necessary to guarantee the supply of gas to Gasmig. This reflects the fact that Petrobras still holds the monopoly on supply and transport of natural gas in Brazil.

Gasmig and Petrobras entered into two Purchase Agreements regarding the supply of natural gas under the ‘Firm Inflexible’ regime, specifying the quantity contracted, the price of gas, and other factors. In both contracts, the price of gas acquired from Petrobras varies according to a contractual formula and is adjusted in accordance with changes in the price of Brent oil, and the US dollar exchange rate. Pricing of the molecule component in the two contracts can be altered only by agreement between the parties.

The price of transportation of natural gas is regulated, and can be revised by the National Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP). If ANP changes the pricing, the amount will be passed through to the distributors.

The longest standing contract that serves only the non-thermoelectric-generation market is in force until 2023. In 2021 its price increased by 59.1%. The most recent contract, on the other hand, has pricing 36.8% higher than the older contract, but is for less than 20% of the total volume contracted by Gasmig.

Due to the foregoing, the Company cannot guarantee that adequate supplies of gas will exist in future periods, or that gas prices will not fluctuate in such a way as to cause a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Changes in the prices and/or pricing policies of products that are substitutes for the product that Gasmig sells could affect the price of the energy products sold by Gasmig.

Petrobras also controls the prices of the principal energy substitutes that compete with natural gas. In 2017, Petrobras revised its pricing policy for energy sources that compete with natural gas. The prices of LPG (‘Liquefied Petroleum Gas’) and Fuel Oil increased significantly during the last year. The prices of these energy products also vary in accordance with the oil price, and the US dollar exchange rate, which might result in their maintaining their competitiveness in relation to gas.

Petrobras may revise its pricing policy at any time. Any changes could influence the market´s demand for natural gas and its competing fuels, such as LPG, petroleum gas, and/or Fuel Oil, which could positively or negatively impact Gasmig’s and the Company's business, operating results and financial situation.

 

The opening of the gas market, or measures to encourage reduction of the price, could affect the profitability of Gasmig.

In 2016 the Brazilian federal government launched the ‘Gás para Crescer’ (‘Gas for Growth’) program, with the objective of fostering the natural gas market in Brazil, through implementation of changes in the regulatory environment of the natural gas sector, preparing it for a reduction in the participation of Petrobras. Because of this program, the National Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) issued Requests for Public Contributions, with a view to receiving contributions from agents in the natural gas chain to enable the entry of new players in the market.

The ‘Gás para Crescer’ program was succeeded by the ‘Novo Mercado de Gás’ (‘New Gas Market’) program. The main directives of the program are consolidated in CNPE Resolution 16/2019, which sets principles and objectives for the promotion of free competition in Brazil’s natural gas market.

Among the directives, it is established that there should be an incentive for the States and the Federal District to adopt good regulatory practices that contribute to effective liberalization of the market, increase in transparency and efficiency, de-verticalization of the sector, and appropriate pricing in the supply of natural gas, by segment of users. This will likely also involve an incentive for the States and the Federal District to adopt reforms and structuring measures, including a possible amendment to concession contracts to reflect good regulatory practices, which include the regulatory principles for Free Consumers, independent producers and independent importers. Finally, there would be an incentive for the States to arrange for privatization of the local state piped gas concession holders.

In July 2019, Petrobras and the Brazilian antitrust authority CADE (‘Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica’, or Economic Defense Administrative Council) signed an Undertaking for Cessation (‘Termo de Compromisso de Cessação –TCC’), under which Petrobras undertook to sell the holdings that it presently owns in the transporter Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S. A. – NTS (10%), and TBG – Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolívia-Brasil S.A. (51%). Petrobras will also sell indirect equity interest in distributors, by selling either its shares in Gaspetro or Gaspetro’s equity interests in the distributors. Petrobras also made an undertaking to adopt certain measures to give more transparency to the contracts for transport, and for third parties to have access to the capacity of the existing assets.

These measures, which are already being implemented, might affect Gasmig, and there could be a variation in the cost price of gas and in the competitiveness of natural gas compared to other energy sources, generating a possible devaluation of natural gas in the market and altering Gasmig’s operational cash flow – i.e., it might have to pay a higher price than expected for the same product, generating negative financial consequences for Gasmig.

 

The renewal or extension of the gas supply contracts is not guaranteed, and the growth strategy might be adversely affected.

The gas supply contracts have specific periods of validity, and Gasmig might be adversely affected if this renewal and/or extension does not take place on terms that are favorable to Gasmig’s growth strategy – this might occur in view of the possibility of entry of new agents into the gas market.

 

The volumes of natural gas supplied by Gasmig are concentrated in few sectors, and few clients.

The large-scale industrial market accounts for the significant majority of natural gas sales volumes in Brazil, with approximately 77% of the volume of gas volumes sold directly to such clients in 2021, as opposed to being sold to thermoelectric generators. Gasmig’s largest clients are concentrated in a few economic sectors: steelmaking, the metallurgical industry, mining, and the manufacture of wood pulp.

Given the concentration of Gasmig's primary natural gas customers in a limited number of economic sectors, in the event that any one or more of these sectors experiences adverse economic conditions during future periods Gasmig's sales volumes and results could be materially adversely affected, which could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, operating results or financial condition.

 

New public policy directives for the gas market in Brazil could negatively affect Gasmig’s business, if implemented.

Since the second half of 2016 Petrobras has been reducing its presence in the natural gas supply chain. In 2020, it concluded the sale of its equity interest in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (TAG) and, in 2021, it concluded the sale of its equity interest in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S.A. (NTS).

Even with these divestitures, Petrobras continues to have a dominant position in the market, because it has a contract for the transport of gas from these assets and continues to be the monopoly supplier in the Brazilian gas market.

In 2019 the ‘Novo Mercado de Gás’ (‘New Gas Market’) program, developed by the Mining and Energy Ministry in partnership with the Economy Ministry, ANP, CADE and EPE, was instituted, with four sectors: Promotion of competition; Integration of natural gas with the electricity and industrial sectors; Harmonization of the state and federal regulations; and Removal of tax barriers. As practical results of the program, we highlight Resolution 16 of June 24, 2019, enacted by the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) and the signature of the Cessation Undertaking (TCC) between the monopolies authority CADE (‘Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica’) and Petrobras. CNPE Resolution 16 details guidelines of energy policy to achieve the objectives of the ‘New Gas Market’, especially in relation to promotion of competition. The TCC signed by CADE and Petrobras aims to stimulate competition in the sector and prevent future occurrence of anticompetitive conduct, covering total disposal of transport assets by the dominant agent, release of excess transport capacity to the market, and negotiation of non-discriminatory access for third parties to the infrastructures of outflow and processing of natural gas.

On April 8, 2021, the President of Brazil sanctioned the Law 14,134/2021, known as the ‘New Gas Law’ (‘Nova Lei do Gás’), brings together the measures that are necessary for formation of an open natural gas market.

The consequences arising from this new law could negatively impact the natural gas distribution business and generate uncertainties in certain respects. The adoption of systems of entry and exit to the transport activity generates uncertainties in relation to the future cost of the service of transport. The incentive for Brazilian States to adopt harmonized regulatory principles for free agents (independent producers, independent importers) could represent risks to the distribution concession holders of having to bear the burden of commitments to minimum withdrawals included in supply contracts, or even suffer a physical bypass by the large consumers. The Company cannot provide any assurances as to whether these or any other developments related to the implementation of the New Gas Market would materially adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

The regulatory agency responsible for the distribution of piped gas is under the influence by the government of Minas Gerais State, whose interests might conflict with the interests of economic balance of the concession granted to Gasmig. 

The Brazilian Federal Constitution lays down that the commercial operation of local piped gas services is a function of the States, directly or through concessions. Gasmig is indirectly controlled by the State of Minas Gerais, through the majority stockholding position held by CEMIG in Gasmig. The Minas Gerais Economic Development Department (SEDE) is a division of Minas Gerais State government, responsible for the function of regulation of piped gas distribution services. Further, SEDE is also responsible for the promotion of sustainable development in Minas Gerais State.

As indirect controlling shareholder of Gasmig, and at the same time grantor of the public service, through SEDE, the government of Minas Gerais State has the authority to direct the efforts and investments of Gasmig in accordance with its own interests – political, economic or social which could have a negative impact on the economic equilibrium of the concession.

Climate change can have significant impacts on our distribution, generation and transmission activities.

The effects of climate change, the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events and regulatory changes can directly affect our distribution, generation and transmission activities, which can lead to financial impacts, loss of competitiveness, risk of disinvestment and reputational damage.

Given that virtually all of Cemig’s generation site is composed of hydroelectric power plants, changes in rainfall totals and rainfall dispersion impact certain business activities. Extreme events can also impact distribution and transmission activities, mainly related to asset availability. On the other hand, high water flow is also a potential risk, since the Company is required to open floodgates to ensure dam safety, thus flooding the downstream area. Moreover, with increased severity and frequency of extreme climate events, such as cyclones and floods, heavy rainfall may occur in a short period accompanied by windstorms and lightning. These events may damage power transportation and distribution facilities, making the resource unavailable to customers. Furthermore, Cemig may be required to adjust to possible regulatory changes defined by the government to achieve the goals to which it has committed through the National Policy on Climate Change, which defines commitments to reduce emissions by 2030, and through emerging regulations that include carbon pricing mechanisms. The actions include a regulation applicable to the consumption of fossil fuels. The carbon price applied in the fuel sector would imply an increase in fossil fuel prices or fossil source-based thermal plants. Cemig’s business may also be impacted by new technologies in the medium and long term if it does not build strategic partnerships or is unable to implement technological changes to its services. If we fail to adapt or experience delays in adapting to this new global scenario, our operations and financial results may be adversely affected. 

Risks Relating to Brazil

Political and economic instability in Brazil could have effects on the economy and affect us.

Historically, the Brazilian political environment has influenced, and continues to influence, the performance of the country’s economy. Political crises has affected and continue to affect investor confidence and that of the general public, which resulted in economic deceleration and heightened volatility in the securities issued by Brazilian companies. The President of Brazil has power to determine the governmental policies and actions related to the Brazilian economy and, consequently, to affect the operations and financial performance of companies, including ours.

General elections are scheduled to be held on October 2, 2022 in Brazil to elect the President, Vice President, and the National Congress. In addition, on the same date elections for State Governors and Vice Governors, as well as State Legislative Assemblies, including those of Minas Gerais, will also take place. The results of these elections, and the policies eventually implemented by both the Federal Government and State governments, could have a material impact on our business.

Furthermore, Brazilian markets have experienced a high level of volatility due to the uncertainties arising from on-going anticorruption and other investigations being carried out by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutors, and their impact on the economy and on the Brazilian political environment. Such events could cause the trading value of our shares, preferred and common, of our preferred and common ADSs, and our other securities to be reduced, and could negatively affect our access to the international financial markets. Furthermore, any political instability resulting from such events, including upcoming political elections at the federal and state levels, if it affects the Brazilian economy, could cause us to re-evaluate our strategy.

 

The Brazilian Federal Government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence on the Brazilian economy. Political and economic conditions can have a direct impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The Brazilian Federal Government frequently intervenes in the country’s economy and occasionally makes significant changes in monetary, fiscal and regulatory policy. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in government policies, as well as other factors including, without limitation:

·Fluctuations in the exchange rate;
·Regulatory policy for the energy sector;
·Inflation;
·Changes in interest rates;
·Fiscal policy;
·Other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments which may affect Brazil or the international markets;
·Liquidity of the domestic markets for capital and loans;
·Development of the energy sector;
·Controls on foreign exchange and restrictions on remittances out of the country; and/or
·Limits on international trade.

 

Uncertainty on whether the Brazilian Federal Government will make changes in policy or regulation that affect these or other factors in the future might contribute to the economic uncertainty in Brazil and to greater volatility of the Brazilian securities-markets and the markets for securities issued outside Brazil by companies. Measures by the Brazilian Federal Government to maintain economic stability, and speculation on any future acts of the Brazilian Federal Government, might generate uncertainties in the Brazilian economy, and increase the volatility of the domestic capital markets, adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition. If the political and economic situations deteriorate, we may also face increased costs.

Additionally, there are uncertainties regarding the federal government's capacity to promote actions in 2022 that promote a faster economic recovery from the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID – 19). These uncertainties, together with the current economic crisis that Brazil is undergoing and other future developments in the Brazilian economy, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The stability of the Brazilian Real is affected by its relationship with the U.S. dollar, inflation and Brazilian Federal Government policy regarding exchange rates. Our business could be adversely affected by any recurrence of volatility affecting our foreign currency-linked receivables and obligations as well as increases in prevailing market interest rates.

The Brazilian currency has experienced high degrees of volatility in the past. The Brazilian Federal Government has implemented several economic plans and has used a wide range of foreign currency control mechanisms, including sudden devaluation, small periodic devaluation during which the occurrence of the changes varied from daily to monthly, floating exchange market systems, exchange controls and parallel exchange market. From time to time, there was a significant degree of fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian Real and other currencies. On December 31, 2021, the exchange rate between the Real and the US dollar was R$5.5749 for US$ 1.00. There is no guarantee that the Real will not depreciate, or appreciate, in relation to the US dollar, in the future. The instability of the Brazilian Real/U.S. Dollar exchange rate could have a material adverse effect on us. Depreciation of the Real against the United States dollar and other principal foreign countries could create inflationary pressures in Brazil and cause increases in interest rates, which could negatively affect the growth of the Brazilian economy, and consequently, our growth. Depreciation of the Real could cause an increase in financial and operating costs, since we have payment obligations under financing contracts and import contracts indexed to exchange rate variations. In addition, depreciation of the Real could cause inflationary pressure that might result in abrupt increases in the inflation rate, which would increase our operating costs and expenses, which might adversely affect our business, results of operations, or outlook.

We generally do not enter into derivative contracts or similar financial instruments or make other arrangements with third parties to hedge against the risk of an increase in interest rates. To the extent that such floating rates rise, we may incur additional expenses. Additionally, as we refinance our existing debt in the coming years, the mix of our indebtedness may change, specifically as it relates to the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates, the ratio of short-term to long-term debt, and the currencies in which our debt is denominated or to which it is indexed. Changes that affect the composition of our debt and cause rises in short or long-term interest rates may increase our debt service payments, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Inflation and certain government measures aimed to control it might contribute significantly to economic uncertainty in Brazil and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of our shares.

Brazil has historically experienced extremely high rates of inflation. Inflation, and some of the Federal Government’s measures taken in an attempt to curb inflation, have had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. Since the introduction of the Real in 1994, Brazil’s inflation rate has been substantially lower than in previous periods. Brazilian annual inflation as measured by the IPCA index in the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 was, respectively, 4.31%, 4.52% and 10.06%. In 2021, the inflation rate was impacted partially supply chain issues around the world due to residuals from the 2020 pandemic effects. No assurance can be given that inflation will remain at these levels.

Future measures taken by the Federal Government, including increases in interest rates, intervention in the foreign exchange market or actions intended to adjust the value of the Real, might cause an increase in the rate of inflation, and consequently, have an adverse economic impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If Brazil experiences high inflation rates in the future, we might be unable to adjust the rates we charge our customers to offset the effects of inflation on our cost structure.

A significant increase in interest rates or inflation would have an adverse effect on our finance expenses and financial results as a whole. At the same time, a significant reduction in the CDI rate, or in inflation, could negatively affect the revenue generated by our financial investments, but also have the positive effect of revaluing adjustments to the balances of our concession financial assets. Substantially, all our cash operating expenses are denominated in Reais and tend to increase with Brazilian inflation. Inflationary pressures might also hinder our ability to access foreign financial markets or might lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition or adversely affect the market value of our shares and as a result, of our preferred ADSs, common ADSs and other securities.

Risks relating to the Preferred and Common Shares, and the Preferred and Common ADSs

 

Instability of the exchange rate could adversely affect the value of remittances of dividends outside Brazil, and the market price of the ADSs.

Many Brazilian and global macroeconomic factors have an influence on the exchange rate. In this context, the Brazilian Federal Government, through the Central Bank, has in the past occasionally intervened for the purpose of controlling unstable variations in exchange rates. We cannot predict whether the Central Bank or the Federal Government will continue to allow the Real to float freely or whether it will intervene through a system involving an exchange rate band, or the use of other measures.

This being so, the Real might fluctuate substantially in relation to the United States dollar, and other currencies, in the future. That instability could adversely affect the equivalent in US dollars of the market price of our shares, and as a result the prices of our ADSs, common and preferred, and also outward dividends remittances from Brazil. For more information, see “Item 3. Key Information – Exchange Rates”.

 

Changes in economic and market conditions in other countries, especially Latin American and emerging market countries, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the market price of our shares, preferred ADSs and common ADSs.

The market value of the securities of Brazilian companies is affected to varying degrees by economic and market conditions in other countries, including other Latin American countries and emerging market countries. Although the economic conditions of such countries may differ significantly from the economic conditions of Brazil, the reactions of investors to events in those countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of the securities of Brazilian issuers. Crisis in other emerging market countries might reduce investors’ interest in the securities of Brazilian issuers, including our Company. In the future, this could make it more difficult for us to access the capital markets and finance our operations on acceptable terms or at all. Due to the characteristics of the Brazilian power industry (which requires significant investments in operating assets) and due to our financing needs, if access to the capital and credit markets is limited, we could face difficulties in completing our investment plans and the refinancing our obligations, and this could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The relative volatility and illiquidity of the Brazilian securities market may adversely affect our shareholders.

Investing in Latin American securities, such as the preferred shares, common shares, preferred ADSs or common ADSs, involves a higher degree of risk than investing in securities of issuers from countries with more stable political and economic environments and such investments are generally considered speculative in nature. These investments are subject to certain economic and political risks, including, as examples, the following:

·Changes to the regulatory, tax, economic and political environment that may affect the ability of investors to receive payment, in whole or in part, related to their investments; and
·Restrictions on foreign investment and on repatriation of capital invested.

 

The Brazilian securities market is substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. This might substantially limit an investor’s ability to sell the shares underlying his preferred or common ADSs for the desired price and within the desired period.

In 2021, the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão S.A or ‘B3’), the only stock exchange in Brazil on which our shares are traded, had an annual market capitalization of approximately R$7.25 trillion, and average daily trading volume of approximately R$28.9 billion.

 

Holders of the preferred and common ADSs, and holders of our shares, may have different shareholders’ rights than holders of shares in U.S. companies.

Our corporate governance, disclosure requirements and accounting practices are governed by our by-laws, by the Level 1 Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices Regulations (‘Regulamento de Práticas Diferenciadas de Governança Corporativa Nível 1’) of the B3 (the main Brazilian stock exchange) by the Brazilian Corporate Law (Federal Law No. 6,404/76) and by the rules issued by the CVM. These regulations may differ from the legal principles that would apply if our Company were incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, such as Delaware or New York, or in other jurisdictions outside Brazil. In addition, the rights of an ADS holder, which are derived from the rights of holders of our common or preferred shares to have his interests protected in relation to decisions by our board of directors or our controlling shareholder, may be different under the Brazilian Corporate Law from the rules of other jurisdictions. Rules against insider trading and self-dealing and other rules for the preservation of shareholder interests may also be different in Brazil if compared to the United States rules, potentially establishing a disadvantage for holders of the preferred shares, common shares, or preferred or common ADSs.

 

Exchange controls and restrictions on remittances from Brazil might adversely affect holders of preferred and common ADSs.

Investors in our preferred and common ADSs may be adversely affected by the imposition of restrictions on the remittance to foreign investors of the proceeds of their investments in Brazil and the conversion from Reais (R$) into foreign currencies. Restrictions of this type would hinder or prevent the conversion of dividends, distributions or the proceeds from any sale of preferred shares or common shares from Reais (R$) into U.S. dollars (US$). We cannot guarantee that the Federal Government will not take restrictive measures in the future.

 

Foreign shareholders may be unable to enforce judgments given in non-Brazilian courts against the Company, or against members of its Board of Directors or Executive Board.

All our directors and officers reside in Brazil. Our assets, as well as the assets of these individuals, are located mostly in Brazil. As a result, it may not be possible for foreign shareholders to effect service of process on them within the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil, or to attach their assets, or to enforce against them, or against the Company in United States courts, or in the courts of other jurisdictions outside Brazil, judgments that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or the respective laws of such other jurisdictions.

In order to have a judgment rendered outside of Brazil enforced in Brazil, the party seeking enforcement would need to be recognized in the courts of Brazil (to the extent that Brazilian courts may have jurisdiction) and such courts would enforce such judgment without any retrial or reexamination of the merits of the original action only if such judgment had been previously ratified by the STJ, in accordance with Articles 216-A to 216- X of the Internal Regulations of the STJ (RISTJ), introduced by Regulatory Amendments No. 18/2014 and No. 24/2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assurance can be given that ratification will be obtained.

 

Exchange of preferred ADSs or common ADSs for underlying shares may have adverse consequences.

The Brazilian custodian for the preferred shares and common shares must obtain an electronic certificate of foreign capital registration from the Central Bank to remit U.S. dollars from Brazil to other countries for payments of dividends, or any other cash distributions, or to remit the proceeds of a sale of shares.

If the investor decides to exchange his preferred ADSs or common ADSs for the underlying shares, the investor will be able to continue to rely, for five business days from the date of the exchange, on the depositary bank’s electronic certificate of registration in order to receive any proceeds distributed in connection with the shares. After that period, the investor may not be able to obtain and remit U.S. dollars abroad upon sale of our common/preferred shares, or distributions relating to our common/preferred shares, unless he or she obtains his or her own certificate of registration or registers the investment under CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, dated September 29, 2014, which entitles registered foreign investors (‘Resolution No. 4,373/2014’) to buy and sell on a Brazilian stock exchange. If the investor does not obtain a certificate of registration or register under Resolution No. 4,373/2014, the investor will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment on gains with respect to our common shares.

If the ADR investors attempt to obtain their own certificate of registration, they may incur expenses or suffer delays in the application process, which could delay their ability to receive dividends or distributions relating to our common shares or the return of their capital in a timely manner. The custodian’s certificate of registration or any foreign capital registration obtained by an investor may be affected by future legislative changes, and additional restrictions applicable to the investor, the disposition of the underlying common/preferred shares or the repatriation of the proceeds of disposition may be imposed in the future.

If the investors decide to exchange their preferred or common shares back into preferred ADSs or common ADSs, respectively, once they have registered their investment in preferred shares or common shares, they may deposit their preferred or common shares with the custodian and rely on the depositary bank’s registration certificate, subject to certain conditions. We cannot guarantee that the depositary bank’s certificate of registry or any certificate of foreign capital registration obtained by an investor may not be affected by future legislative or other regulatory changes, nor that additional Brazilian restrictions applicable to the investor, or to the sale of the underlying preferred shares, or to repatriation of the proceeds from the sale, will not be imposed in the future.

 

An investor of our common shares and ADSs might be unable to exercise preemptive rights and tag-along rights with respect to the common shares.

U.S. investors of common shares and ADSs may not be able to exercise the preemptive rights and tag-along rights relating to common shares unless a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is effective with respect to those rights or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We are not obligated to file a registration statement with respect to our common shares relating to these rights, and we cannot assure that we will file any such registration statement. Unless we file a registration statement or an exemption from registration is available, an ADR investor may receive only the net proceeds from the sale of their preemptive rights and tag-along rights or, if these rights cannot be sold, they will lapse and the ADR investor will receive only the net proceeds from the sale of their preemptive rights and tag-along rights or, if these rights cannot be sold, they will lapse and the ADR holder will receive no value for them.

 

Judgments of Brazilian courts with respect to our shares will be payable only in Reais.

If proceedings are brought in the courts of Brazil seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of our common shares, we will not be required to discharge any such obligations in a currency other than Reais. Under Brazilian exchange control limitations, an obligation in Brazil to pay amounts denominated in a currency other than Reais may only be satisfied in Brazilian currency at the exchange rate, as determined by the Central Bank, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and any such amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective payment date. The then prevailing exchange rate may not afford non-Brazilian investors full compensation for any claim arising out of, or related to, our obligations under our common shares.

Sales of a substantial number of shares, or the perception that such sales might take place, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our shares, or of the preferred or common ADSs.

As a consequence of the issuance of new shares, sales of shares by existing share investors, or the perception that such a sale might occur, the market price of our shares and, by extension, of the preferred and/or common ADSs, may decrease significantly.

 

The preferred shares and preferred ADSs generally do not have voting rights, and the common ADSs can only be voted by proxy by providing voting instructions to the depositary.

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law and our by-laws, holders of our preferred shares, and, consequently, holders of our ADSs representing preferred shares, are not entitled to vote at our shareholders’ meetings, except in very specific circumstances.

Holders of our preferred ADSs may also encounter difficulties in the exercise of certain rights, including the limited voting rights. Holders of the ADSs for our common shares do not have automatic entitlement to vote in our General Meetings of Shareholders, other than by power of attorney, by sending a voting instruction to the depositary. Where there is not enough time to send the form with voting instructions to the depository, or in the event of omission to send the voting instruction, the holders of ADSs for CEMIG’s preferred and common shares may be unable to vote by means of instructions to the depository.

 

Future equity issuances may dilute the holdings of current holders of our common shares or ADSs and could materially affect the market price for those securities.

We may in the future decide to offer additional equity to raise capital or for other purposes. Any such future equity offering could reduce the proportionate ownership and voting interests of holders of our common shares and ADSs, as well as our earnings and net equity value per common share or ADS. Any offering of shares and ADSs by us or our main shareholders, or a perception that any such offering is imminent, could have an adverse effect on the market price of these securities.

 

The Brazilian Government may assert that the ADS taxation for Non- Resident Holders shall be payable in Brazil.

Pursuant to Section 26 of Law No. 10,833, published on December 29, 2003, the sale of property located in Brazil involving non-resident investors is subject to Brazilian income tax as of February 1, 2004. Currently, the Company understands that ADSs do not qualify as property located in Brazil and, thus, should not be subject to the Brazilian withholding tax; nevertheless, the Brazilian Tax Authorities may try to assert Brazilian tax jurisdiction in such situation, incurring on the payment of tax income in Brazil for the Non-Resident Holders.

Item 4.Information on the Company

 

Organizational and Historical Background

Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG is a state-controlled mixed capital company (‘sociedade por ações de economia mista’). CEMIG has its registered office located at Avenida Barbacena, 1200, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC. Our internet address is https://www.cemig.com.br. The information posted on our website or that could be accessed through our website is not an integral part of, or attached to or incorporated by reference into, this Form 20-F.

CEMIG built its first three hydroelectric power plants in the 1950s and commenced its energy transmission and distribution operations in 1960. CEMIG was incorporated on May 22, 1952 and is organized and existing under the laws of Brazil and the State of Minas Gerais. In the 1970s, CEMIG took over the distribution of energy in the region of the city of Belo Horizonte, commissioned the São Simão hydroelectric power plant and advanced the transmission of energy with the construction of 6,000 km (3,728 miles) of power lines.

In the 1980s, a partnership between CEMIG, Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (‘Eletrobras’) and the Brazilian Federal Government launched the Minas-Luz Program, to expand service to low-income populations in rural areas and outer urban suburbs, including the shantytowns. The Emborcação hydroelectric power plant, at the Paranaíba River, started operating in 1982. At that time, together with the São Simão plant, the Emborcação plant tripled the Company’s generation capacity. In 1983, CEMIG created its Ecological Program Coordination Management Unit, which is responsible for planning and developing the Company’s environmental policies. This new unit fostered the research of alternative energy sources, such as wind power and solar generation, biomass and natural gas. Since then, the Company has focused its research projects on such alternative energy sources.

In 1986, CEMIG’s subsidiary Companhia de Gas de Minas Gerais – Gasmig, a natural gas distribution company, was incorporated. By the end of the 1980s, CEMIG’s energy distribution business had a market share in the State of Minas Gerais of 96%.

In 2000, CEMIG was listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the first time and continues to be listed since then. We believe this to confirm our dedication to the balance between the economic, environmental and social pillars of corporate sustainability. In 2001, CEMIG’s ADRs representing its preferred shares were upgraded to Level 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2004, due to new legal and regulatory requirements, CEMIG transferred its operations to two wholly owned subsidiaries: the energy generation and transmission company CEMIG Geração e Transmissão S.A. (‘CEMIG GT’) and the energy distribution company CEMIG Distribuição S.A. (‘CEMIG D’).

In 2006, CEMIG began to operate in other states, with the acquisition of a significant interest in Light S.A. (‘Light’), which concession is in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and Transmissoras Brasileiras de Energia – TBE, which owned transmission lines in Northern, Midwest and Southern Brazil. In 2008, CEMIG initiated its participation in the UHE Santo Antônio generation project at the Madeira River. In April 2009, CEMIG GT acquired Terna Participações S.A., now called Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica S.A. (‘Taesa’). In May 2013, it increased its holdings in the energy transmission sector with the acquisition of equity interests in five other transmission companies. This increased CEMIG’s market share in Brazilian energy transmission from 5.4% to 12.6% at that time. In 2011, CEMIG GT expanded its participation in relevant generation and transmission assets, including the acquisition, by Amazônia Energia S.A. (in which CEMIG and Light have, respectively, 74.5% and 25.5% of the total capital) of a 9.77% stake in Norte Energia S.A. (‘NESA’), the owner of the concession for the construction and operation of Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant, in Xingu River, State of Pará. The transaction added 818 MW of generation capacity to our total activities and increased Light’s total generation capacity by 280 MW. Also, in 2011, CEMIG acquired a controlling stake in Renova Energia S.A. (‘Renova’), which has been working with Small Hydroelectric Power Plants (SHPs) and wind farms for over a decade. In 2015, the association between Vale S.A. (‘Vale’) and CEMIG GT to form Aliança Geração de Energia (‘Aliança’) was concluded. The two companies subscribed shares issued by Aliança which were paid in by means of the equity interests they held in the following energy generation assets: Porto Estrela, Igarapava, Funil, Capim Branco I, Capim Branco II, Aimorés and Candonga; plus, a 100% interest in the following wind generation Special-Purpose Entities (‘SPEs’): Central Eólica Garrote Ltda., Central Eólica Santo Inácio III Ltda., Central Eólica Santo Inácio IV Ltda. And Central Eólica São Raimundo Ltda. CEMIG GT won the concession for Lot D in ANEEL’s Auction No. 012/2015, for placement of concessions for hydroelectric plants under a regime of allocation of generating capacity and physical offtake guarantees. Lot D is comprised of 13 plants that were previously owned by CEMIG, and an additional five plants which were owned by Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A. (‘Furnas’). The aggregate installed generation capacity of these 18 plants is 699.57 MW.

On July 17, 2019, in connection with the public offering of shares by Light, the Company sold 33,333,333 shares that it held in that investee, at the price per share of R$18.75, in the total amount of R$625 million.

On January 22, 2021, the Company sold 68,621,264 shares that it held in that investee, at the price per share of R$20.00, in the total amount of R$1,372 million. The transaction is part of the execution of CEMIG’s divestment program. With the completion of this transaction, CEMIG is no longer a stockholder of Light.

On November 11, 2021, CEMIG entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (‘the Agreement’) with AP Energias Renováveis Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, including the following terms (‘the Transaction’): (i) sale of all of CEMIG equity interest in Renova Energia S.A. – In Judicial Recovery, (ii) assignment, for consideration, of all credits owed to CEMIG by Renova Comercializadora de Energia S.A. – In Judicial Recovery – for a total consideration of R$60 million, and (iii) a CEMIG earn-out right subject to certain future events. The closing of this transaction is subject to compliance with certain conditions precedent that are specified in the Agreement, including prior approval by the competent regulatory bodies, by the creditors holding asset guarantees listed in Renova’s Judicial Recovery Plan, and by third parties who are signatories of certain commercial contracts with the Company.

On May 5, 2022, Cemig concluded the sale of its entire CEMIG equity interest held in Renova Energia S.A. – In-court supervised reorganization – as well as the assignment, for consideration, of all credits owed to CEMIG by Renova Comercializadora de Energia S.A. – In court supervised reorganization – for a total consideration of R$60 million, with a right to receive an earn out subject to certain future events, as provided in Share Purchase Agreement (‘the Agreement’) entered into with AP Energias Renováveis Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia on November 11, 2021.

Auction of Former CEMIG GT Generation Concessions and Indemnification

The concessions of the Jaguara, São Simão, Miranda and Volta Grande hydroelectric plants, operated by CEMIG GT, expired in August 2013, January 2015, December 2016 and February 2017, respectively.

As per the original terms of the concession contracts of Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda plants, CEMIG GT believed that it had the right for the renewal of such concessions and filed administrative and court proceedings requesting for the extension the contracts. These requests, however, were rejected by the MME on the view that the request was made out of time in relation to the period/rules set by Law 12,783/13.

As part of the court decision, in March 2017 the preliminary injunctions that had maintained CEMIG GT in possession and operation of the concessions of the Jaguara and Miranda plants were revoked. CEMIG GT remained in control of the assets, and recognized revenues from the sale of energy and the operating costs of the assets through the date that the preliminary injunction was revoked. From that date onwards, CEMIG GT ceased to recognize any depreciation on the assets and began to recognize revenues relating to the provision of services of operation and maintenance of these plants in accordance with the regime of quotas specified by Law 12,783/13 (the ‘Quotas Regime’). As ordered by the MME Order 432/2015, the São Simão plant was operated under the Quotas Regime since September 2015.

Despite the ongoing court legal proceedings involving the São Simão, Jaguara and Miranda plants, on September 27, 2017, the Brazilian Federal Government tendered the concessions for the São Simão, Jaguara, Miranda and Volta Grande plants. The Volta Grande plant concession contract expired in February 2017. These plants have total generation capacity of 2,922 MW, and the concession price in the bid amounted to R$12,131 million. The parties that won these concessions are not related to CEMIG.

The new concession contracts were signed on November 10, 2017, and on this date extension of the periods in which CEMIG GT was engaged to temporarily continue to operate the assets was agreed upon as follows:

·Volta Grande plant: until November 30, 2017.
·Jaguara and Miranda plants: until December 28, 2017.
·São Simão plant: until May 9, 2018.

 

On August 3, 2017, the MME Order 291/17 determined the amount payable to CEMIG GT for the residual value of the infrastructure assets of the São Simão and Miranda plants at the end of the contract, at R$1,028 million, of which R$244 million relates to the residual value of the São Simão Plant, and R$784 million for the residual value of the Miranda Plant – these amounts being expressed in Reais as of September 2015 and December 2016, respectively. The amounts had been adjusted by the Brazilian Selic rate for federal securities, and the total adjustment recognized in 2018 as an operating income amounted to R$55 million. On August 31, 2018, CEMIG GT received the amounts of reimbursement relating to the assets not previously amortized or depreciated in the basic plans of the São Simão and Miranda hydroelectric plants, as specified in MME Order 291/2017.

The following describe certain activities relating to CEMIG subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates during 2021, 2020 and 2019 (aggregated by business):

 

RENOVA GROUP

Change in control of Renova

On October 15, 2019, Light sold, for R$ 1.00, the totality of its shares in the jointly controlled entity Renova, equivalent in total to 17.17% of the share capital of the company, to CG I Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, namely 7,163,074 shares and 98 preferred shares. Additionally, Lightcom Comercializadora de Energia S.A. signed an Assignment Agreement through which it assigned all the credits held against Renova to CG I. With the expiry of the period specified in the Shareholders’ Agreement of Renova, the subsidiary CEMIG GT did not exercise its right of first refusal nor its right of joint sale, and thus there has been no change in its direct equity interest in Renova. On December 31, 2021, this investment is classified as an asset held for sale.

 

Application by Renova for a court-supervised reorganization plan

On October 16, 2019, the second State of São Paulo Bankruptcy and Court-supervised reorganization Court granted the application for in-court reorganization applied for by Renova, and by the other companies of the group (‘the Renova Group’), and determined, among other measures, the following: (i) Appointment of an independent company to act as judicial administrator; (ii) Suspension of actions and executions against the companies of the Renova Group for 180 days, under Article 6 of Law 11,101/2005; (iii) Presentation of accounts by the 30th of each month, while the in-court reorganization proceedings continue, on penalty of the controlling shareholders of the companies of the Renova Group being removed, and replaced by administrator, under Article 52, IV, of Law 11,101/2005; (iv) Waiver to present tax debt clearance certificates so that the companies of the Renova Group can carry on with their activities; and (v) Order to publish a list of creditors, with 15 day term for presentation of qualifications and/or divergences of credits in relation to the court-supervised reorganization.

On December 18, 2020, the General Meeting of Creditors approved the court-supervised reorganization plans submitted to the court by Renova. In this sense, the plans describe the means of recovery in detail, give details of the DIP bridge loan, identify the Isolated Production Units (UPIs) and specify the procedure for resources disposal and allocation. For more details related to the court-supervised reorganization plans, see Item.3 – Risk Factors and see note 16 to our Financial Statements.

In 2021, in line with its Judicial Recovery Plans, Renova sold the assets and rights of Phase B of the Alto Sertão III wind power complex (R$ 59.8 million), and the equity interests held in Brasil PCH S.A. (R$ 1.1 billion), in March 2022 Renova sold its rights and assets in Enerbrás (R$ 265.8 billion).

Additionally, the Board of Directors of Renova approved ratification of the increase corresponding to the amount of the credits to be capitalized under the terms of the court supervised reorganization plan, which the amount aproximally R$380 milions were converted into equity in Renova, until December 31, 2021, reducing the indebtedness of Renova and its subsidiaries.

Phase A of the Alto Sertão III wind power complex is Renova’s main project in development and one of the main reasons related to the success of the Judicial Recovery Plan. During Phase A, in December 2021, the first seven aerogenerators of the AbIl Wind Farm began test operations, with aggregate installed capacity of 21 MW. The works of Phase A of the Alto Sertão III windfarm complex are currently approximately 92.5% completed.

Considering the non-existence of any legal or constructive obligations to the investee, the Company has concluded that the court-supervised reorganization filed by Renova does not have any additional impact on its financial statements.

LIGHT

Divestiture of Light

On July 17, 2019, Light announced the closing of the primary and secondary public offering of common, nominative and book-entry shares issued by Light, with no par value, free and unencumbered of any charges or liens. In the context of the offering, there were (i) 100,000,000 (one hundred million) newly issued shares of Light, following an increase in Light’s capital stock, and (ii) 33,333,333 (thirty-three million, three hundred thirty-three thousand, three hundred thirty-three) shares held by CEMIG at a price per share of R$ 18.75.

With the settlement of the restricted offering, the Company’s equity interest in the total share capital of Light was reduced from 49.99% to 22.58%, limiting its voting rights in Shareholders’ Meetings and, as a result, its ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee.

Thus, as from that date, the Company no longer had power that gave it control of this investee. In accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements, the investee was no longer considered a subsidiary, and therefore was no longer consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

On January 22, 2021, in the public offering of common shares of Light, CEMIG sold its entire remaining holding of shares in Light at R$ 20.00 (twenty Reais) per share for a total of R$ 1,372 million. With the completion of this transaction, CEMIG is no longer a stockholder of Light.

On February 14, 2020, Taesa completed the acquisitions of SJT and SPT for an adjusted amount of R$ 753.2 million. The acquisitions of TMT and VSB were cancelled due to the failure to obtain the consent by the creditors.

On September 1st, 2021, Taesa announced that delivered the project Janaúba Transmissora de Energia Elétrica, 100% controlled by the Company, in reference to lot 17 of the transmission auction No. 01/2015 (part 2), conducted in October 2016. As such, the Janaúba concession became commercially operational, generating an additional R$ 213.6 million of Annual Permitted Revenues (RAP) for the Company. The project was concluded proximally 6 months ahead of ANEEL’s required deadline on February 9, 2022 and achieved cost savings of approximately 18% in comparison to ANEEL’s stipulated capex, resulting in a total investment of R$950 million. It is important to note that Janaúba is Taesa’s largest greenfield project delivered to date, with an extension of 542 km of lines located between the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia.

On December 17, 2021, Taesa won of the bid regarding lot 1, related to the Transmission Auction No. 02/2021, promoted on this date by ANEEL. The project will generate an additional R$129.9 million of RAP for the company, the result of a discount offered of 47.76%. Furthermore, lot 1 is composed by 363 km of transmission lines, located in the states of São Paulo and Paraná and has an investment forecast of R$1,750,054 million, according to ANEEL, which estimates a construction period of 60 months. The awarded lot has important synergies, it takes advantage of Taesa’s existing Operating and Maintenance structure, in addition to expected CAPEX efficiencies and anticipated project delivery, as usually performed by Taesa.

 

CEMIG SIM

Launch of CEMIG Soluções Inteligentes em Energia – CEMIG SIM

On October 08, 2019, CEMIG Soluções Inteligentes em Energia – CEMIG SIM was launched. It comprises the activities developed by Efficientia and CEMIG Geração Distribuída – CEMIG GD. Efficientia's by laws were modified in order to adapt to the new object of CEMIG SIM and change of corporate name. On October 19, 2020, a CEMIG’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved the merger of Geração Distribuída – CEMIG GD (wholly-owned subsidiary), at book value, and as a result the investee ceased to exist and the Company took over of all its rights and liabilities. The proposal is for CEMIG SIM to act, in this first moment, but not limited, in the following segments: distributed generation, account services, cogeneration, energy efficiency (with PEE resources), and supply and storage management.

On November 25, 2020, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary CEMIG Sim acquired 49% of interest in seven special-purpose companies operating in photovoltaic solar generation for the distributed generation market (‘geração distribuída’), with total installed capacity of 29.45MWp, for R$55 million. On August 19, 2020 and on September 30, 2020, this wholly owned subsidiary also acquired 49% of interest in two others SPCs operating in the same market segment for R$8 million and R$10 million, respectively, with total installed capacity of 11.62 MWp.

In 2021, CEMIG SIM achieved 107% growth in sold supply energy totaling 8,199 MWh/month, generated by eleven photovoltaic plants (the Janaúba, Corinto, Manga, Bonfinópolis II, Lagoa Grande, Lontra, Mato Verde, Mirabela, Porteirinha I, Porteirinha II, and Brasilândia plants). On December 2021, CEMIG SIM had 4,752 clients.

 

CENTROESTE

On December 20, 2018, CEMIG notified Eletrobras stating its interest in exercising its right of first refusal to acquire the interest held by Eletrobras in Companhia Transmission Centroeste de Minas Gerais S.A. - Centroeste, which constituted Lot P of Eletrobras Auction 01/2018. As officially reported by Eletrobras on October 22, 2018, the winning bid was for R$43 million.

On January 15, 2019, CEMIG announced that it had been informed of the acceptance and ratification by Eletrobras of the exercise by CEMIG of its right of first refusal.

On January 13, 2020, Centroeste became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through the acquisition of the remaining equity interest of 49% held by Eletrobras.

Centroeste operates in construction, operation and maintenance of the transmission facilities of the Furnas-Pimenta transmission line – part of the national grid.

The cash consideration paid amounts to R$45 million, which was the price in the Tender Announcement, adjusted by the accumulated variation of the Selic rate up to the date of conclusion of the transaction and adjusted by the dividends and/or Interest on Equity paid or declared by Centroeste in favor of Eletrobras in the period.

Prior to the acquisition above and as of December 31, 2019, the Company held 51% of the investee, and did not control the entity according to its shareholders agreement, therefore, the investments in Centroeste were accounted for under the equity method. See more information on Note 16 to our consolidated financial statement - Investments.

 

 

Sete Lagoas Transmissora de Energia

On December 23, 2021, Cemig completed the acquisition of all equity interests held by Cobra Brasil Serviços, Comunicações e Energia S.A. and Cobra Instalaciones y Servicios S.A. in Sete Lagoas Transmissora de Energia S.A. (SLTE), becoming the holder of 100% of that company. The amount paid by Cemig was R$ 48 million.

SLTE acquired the concession of Lot H in ANEEL Transmission Auction 008/2010, for construction and operation of the Sete Lagoas 4 substation, in the city of Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. The Sete Lagoas 4 substation began operation in June 2014, and its concession contract expires in June 2041.

The assets of SLTE comprise Sete Lagoas 4’s substation, which accesses the national grid through the Neves 1–Três Marias 345kV transmission line, owned by Cemig GT itself. Management believes that are significant synergies that will benefit for CEMIG GT (Generation and Transmission), and for CEMIG D (Distribution).

Generation

The electric power generation business consists of the generation of energy using renewable energy sources (water, wind, sun and biomass).

As of December 31, 2021, we were one of the largest energy generation groups in Brazil, by total installed capacity. As of that date, we were generating energy at 70 hydroelectric plants (small hydroelectric power plants (‘PCH’) and hydroelectric power plants (‘UHE’)), wind plants and solar plants, with total installed capacity of over 5,700 MW, with plants present in nine states of Brazil. The vast majority of our capacity is generated at hydroelectric plants (98% of installed capacity), with the remaining being generated by wind plants and a solar plant.

Our top five power plants accounted for over 69% of our installed energy generation capacity in 2022 are:

Transmission

The transmission business consists of transporting energy power from the facilities where it is generated to points of consumption, distribution networks and free customers. Its revenue depends directly on the availability of its assets. The transmission network comprises energy transmission lines and substations with voltage of 230 kV or more and is part of the Brazilian Grid regulated by ANEEL and operated by the ONS. See ‘The Brazilian Power Industry’.

On December 31, 2021, CEMIG GT and other CEMIG transmission networks had approximately 4,449 miles of lines, as follows:

Distribution and Purchase of Electric Power

Overview

Our distribution operation consists of transfers of energy from distribution substations to final customers. Our distribution network comprises a widespread network of overhead and underground lines and substations with voltages lower than 230 kV. We supply energy to small industrial customers, at the higher end of the voltage range, and to residential and commercial customers at the lower end of the range.

In 2021, we invested approximately R$1,520 million in the construction and acquisition of the property, plant and equipment needed to supply energy to our customers, expand and increase the capacity of our distribution system.

The following tables provide certain operating information pertaining to our distribution system, on the dates indicated:

Purchase of Electric Power

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we purchased 5,580 GWh of energy from Itaipu, which represented approximately 12% of the energy we sold to final users, and 606 GWh (1.3%) of energy from PROINFA. We also purchased 1,063 GWh under Nuclear Energy Quota Contracts - Contratos de Cotas de Energia Nuclear, or ‘CCENs’. (2.3%) and 7,519 GWh of energy under Assured Energy Quota Contracts - Contratos de Cota de Garantia Física, or ‘CCGFs’. (16%). In addition to this compulsory purchase, we have two other types of supply arrangements: (i) purchases through public auctions, which accounted for approximately 23% of the energy purchased for resale during the year ended December 31, 2021; and (ii) long-term agreements existing prior to the New Industry Model Law, which represented approximately 2% of the energy purchased in 2021.

Itaipu — Itaipu is one of the largest operational hydroelectric plants in the world, with an installed capacity of 14,000 MW. Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (‘Eletrobras’), a holding company controlled by the Federal Government, owns a 50% interest in Itaipu, while the government of Paraguay owns the remaining 50%. Brazil, pursuant to its 1973 treaty with Paraguay, has the option to purchase all of the energy generated by Itaipu that is not consumed by Paraguay. Brazil generally purchases more than 95% of the energy generated by Itaipu.

We are one of the electricity power distributors operating in the south, southeast and west-central regions of Brazil that are jointly required to purchase all of Brazil’s portion of the energy generated by Itaipu, in accordance with the Law No. 5,899/1973. The Federal Government allocates Brazil’s portion of Itaipu’s power among these energy companies in amounts proportionate to their respective historical market share of total energy sales. ANEEL enacted Resolution No. 2,355/2017 which set 10.09% as the percentage of Itaipu’s power production bestowed upon CCEE that CEMIG D would have to purchase in 2018. For 2019, Resolution No. 2,500/2018 set it at 10.03% and for 2020 it was set at 10.32% (Resolution No. 2,642/2019). For 2021, the resolution No. 2,804/2020 set it at 10.20%. These rates are fixed to defray Itaipu’s operating expenses and payments of principal and interest on Itaipu’s dollar-denominated borrowings and the cost in Reais of transmitting such power to the Brazilian grid. These rates are above the national average for bulk supply of power and are calculated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/Real exchange rate affect the cost, in Real terms, of energy we are required to purchase from Itaipu. Historically, we have been able to recover the cost of such energy by charging supply rates to customers. According to our concession contract, increases in the supply rates may be transferred to the final customer upon approval by ANEEL.

Since 2007, ANEEL publishes at the end of each year the amount of energy to be purchased from Itaipu by each of the electric power distributors for the following year, as guidance for the five subsequent years. Based on this, the distributors can estimate their remaining energy needs in advance of the next public auctions.

CCENs: These are contracts that formalize the purchase of energy and power as established in Law No. 12,111/09 and ANEEL Resolution No. 530/12 between distributors and Electronuclear for the energy produced by the Angra I and Angra II plants.

CCGFs: Decree No. 7,805/12 regulated Provisional Act No. 579/12 and created contractual arrangements governing contracting of energy and power from the plants whose concessions were extended under Law No. 12,783/13.

Auction Contracts: We have purchased energy in public auctions on the CCEE. These contracts are formalized between CEMIG and the various vendors in accordance with the terms and conditions in the invitation to bid.

‘Bilateral Contracts’ — CEMIG D entered into ‘bilateral contracts’ with various suppliers prior to the enactment of the New Industry Model Law in 2004. Such agreements are valid under their original terms but cannot be renewed. During the year ended December 31, 2021 CEMIG D didn’t enter new bilateral contracts.

Natural Gas Distribution

Gasmig was established in Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1986, for the purpose of developing and implementing the distribution of natural gas in the State of Minas Gerais. CEMIG holds 99.57% of the shares of Gasmig and the Municipality of Belo Horizonte owns the remaining shares.

In July 1995, the State Government granted Gasmig an exclusive 30-year concession (as from January 1993) for distribution of piped gas covering the entire State of Minas Gerais and customers located within it. On December 26, 2014, the Second Amendment to the Concession Contract was signed. This document extended Gasmig’s concession for commercial operation of piped gas services for industrial, commercial, institutional and residential use in the State of Minas Gerais for 30 years. As a result, the expiration of this concession was extended from January 10, 2023, to January 10, 2053.

Gasmig’s marketing efforts focus on its ability to provide a more economically efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to oil products, like diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (‘LPG’), wood, wood products and charcoal. From January to December 2021, Gasmig supplied approximately 3,801 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to 71,236 customers in forty cities: 99 large and medium-sized industrial plants, 1,154 small industrial plants and commercial customers, 59 retail distribution stations that supply natural gas to vehicles, 1 retail distribution stations supplying compressed natural gas (‘CNG’) to vehicles, 5 co-generation projects, 4 distributors of CNG to industrial customers, 69,912 homes, and 2 thermoelectric plants.

From January to December 2021, Gasmig registered an expense for the acquisition of gas of R$2,011 million compared to an expense of R$1,083 million in the period from January to December 2020, an increase of 85.69%. The number of customers has increased 15.99% (mainly residential), the increase in volumes are 19.81% and 65.70% for industrial plants and small industrial plants and commercial.

Many energy-intensive industries, such as cement, steel, iron-alloys and metallurgical plants, operate at significant volume in Minas Gerais. Gasmig’s principal strategy is expansion of its distribution network to cover the part of demand that has not yet been met. Gasmig dedicates efforts to development of new projects for expansion of its natural gas distribution system, to supply customers in other areas of Minas Gerais, especially those densely industrialized.

From January to December 2021, capital expenditures totaled R$43.5 million and 50.9 kilometers were added to our natural gas network. In 2021, studies began for the SDGN Centro Oeste Project, which aims to interconnect the municipalities of Betim, Sarzedo, Juatuba, Mateus Leme, Igarapé, São Joaquim de Bicas, Itaúna and Divinópolis, and later, the distribution of natural gas to other municipalities in the Central and Midwest regions.

The concessions for distribution of natural gas are granted by each Brazilian state. In the state of Minas Gerais, the regulator, the State’s Economic Development Secretariat, sets the tariffs for natural gas by market segment. The tariffs are comprised of a portion for the cost of gas and a portion for the distribution of gas. Each quarter the tariffs are adjusted to pass through the cost of gas, and once a year they are adjusted to update the portion allocated to cover the costs relating to the provision of the distribution service – remuneration of invested capital and to cover all the operating, commercial and administrative expenses of the concession holder.

The rate reviews occur every five years, from the end of the first cycle, from 2018 to 2022, to evaluate the changes in the costs of Gasmig, and to adjust the tariffs. The concession contract also specifies the possibility of an extraordinary review of tariffs if any event occurs that puts the economic-financial balance of the concession at risk.

On December 14, 2018, the Minas Gerais State Department for Economic, Scientific, Technological and Higher Education Development (‘Sedectes’ actually ‘SEDE’) or (‘the grantor’) presented a study, prepared by Fundação Getulio Vargas Business school (‘FGV’), related to financial economic rebalancing of the Gasmig concession agreement, also supported by consultation from General Attorney’s Office of the State. The rebalancing that has been requested by the grantor is based on the contractual obligation to build a gas pipeline to serve the Nitrogen Fertilizers Unit (UFN), which should have been built by Petrobras. Due to this reason Gasmig was requested to pay the State of Minas Gerais the amount of which Sedectes estimates at R$852 million. Based on the study, SEDECTES requested a response from Gasmig and began discussion for solution related to imbalance referred to, considering that one of its conditions for extension of the concession contract (from 2023 to 2053, as specified in the second amendment to the contract) was execution of investments for construction of the gas pipeline.

On September 19, 2019, the Company entered into, with the State of Minas Gerais, as Grantor, the Third Amendment to the Concession Agreement for Industrial, Institutional and Residential Exploration of Piped Gas Services in the State of Minas Gerais, which represents the conclusion of the economic and financial rebalancing process of the concession contract, upon payment of a grant fee in the amount of R$852 million, updated from January 1, 2019 to the date of its payment at by the DI rate (Interbank Deposits, extra group) and ensures that Gasmig maintains the extension of the term of its concession until the year 2053.

On September 26, 2019, the Company issued Commercial Promissory Notes, in a single series, totaling R$850 million with a maturity of 12 months and interest of 107% of the DI rate, without any guarantees or endorsement. The proceeds from this issue were fully used, on September 26, 2019, to pay the granting bonus due to the Granting Authority updated by the variation of the DI rate since January 1, 2019 in the amount of R$891.2 million.

Also, under Third Amendment to the Concession Agreement, the total amount paid for the compensatory grant will be added to the Company's asset remuneration base and considered in the tariff review process by the grantor as an intangible asset to be amortized until the end of the concession contract, with immediate effects on the setting and review of tariffs.

With the conclusion of Gasmig's First Periodic Tariff Review (1st RTP), in November 2019, SEDE confirmed the inclusion of the grant bonus in the regulatory asset base. The review resulted in guidance on investment and quality goals, service expansion and definition of the new tariff design, offered by Gasmig, in the 2018 to 2022 cycle.

Among the approved changes is the creation of new tariff classes, new consumption ranges, absorption of customers from other classes and changes in the collection cascades, in order to meet market demands and simplify the classification of customers in the respective categories. The proposed new tariff design includes the following categories: Industrial, Commercial and Industrial with lower consumption, Individual Residential, Residential Collective, Cogeneration, Thermoelectric, Compressed Natural Gas or Liquefied Natural Gas and Natural Gas.

On October 28, 2021, the Economic Development of Minas Gerais State - SEDE approved a tariff adjustment to be applied by GASMIG for the classes of industrial, cogeneration and GNC/LNG consumers, as of November 1st, 2021, with an average increase was 3% in relation to tariffs that were in force since August 2021. This increase refers to the variation in gas costs purchased by the Company.

On October 4, 2021, SEDE published on its website the result of Public Consultation No. 25/2021, which determined the cost rate of GASMIG's capital at 8.71% and that such rate should be applied at the end of the current tariff review process, effective from the next tariff cycle, starting as early as 2022. The Periodic Tariff Review (RTP) is a mandatory five-year process that is set forth in the concession contract entered into between the State of Minas Gerais and the concessionaire.

On January 03, 2021, the State’s Economic Development Secretariat (SEDE/MG) approved the tariff adjustment for Gasmig with effect from February 1, 2022 applied for the Industrial, Co-generation, Compressed Natural Gas, Liquid Natural Gas, Vehicle Natural Gas, Residential and Commercial customers. The average increase, depending on the customer category, was from 16% to 26%, compared to the tariffs in effect from November 2021, resulted from the variation in the cost of gas acquired to sell.

On January 28, 2022, the Minas Gerais State Government, through its SEDE, started the process of public consultation for Gasmig’s second Periodic Tariff Review, to establish the revenue required to be in effect in Gasmig’s next tariff cycle. The public consultation runs for 21 calendar days, ending on February 18, 2022.

Energy Losses

CEMIG

The total recorded by CEMIG as energy losses has two components: (i) an allocated portion of the losses arising in the National Grid; and (ii) the total of technical and non-technical losses (commercial losses) in the local distribution network of CEMIG D.

The total energy losses recorded by CEMIG in the year of 2021 was 6,717 GWh, a 4.2% decrease in comparison to 2020 (7,012 GWh). The CCEE apportioned losses in the national grid totaling 477 GWh to CEMIG D. Other energy losses, totaling 6,240 GWh, include technical and non-technical losses in the local distribution system.

Technical losses were approximately 78% of the total losses related to CEMIG D for the year ended December 31, 2021. Losses in distribution are inevitable because of transport of energy and its transformation into different levels of voltage. We seek to minimize technical losses by rigorous and regular assessments of the operational conditions of the distribution facilities, and investment to expand distribution capacity, for maintaining quality and reliable levels, thus reducing technical losses; we also operate the system in accordance with certain specific voltage levels, to reduce the level of losses. Technical losses are not strictly comparable: longer distribution distances (for example, in rural areas), naturally have higher technical loss levels.

Non-technical losses were approximately 22% of CEMIG D’s total energy losses in 2021. Such losses are caused by customer fraud, illegal connections to the distribution network, and errors in metering and defects in meters. To minimize non-technical losses, preventive actions are taken regularly: customers’ meters and connections are inspected; meter readers are trained; metering systems are modernized; procedures for installation and inspection of meters are standardized; meters with quality control guarantees are installed; and the database of customers is updated.

The non-technical losses of different distributors can be partially comparable, take into account the social complexities in the concession area and the effectiveness of efforts to prevent losses.

 

Quality indicators – DEC and FEC (SAIDI and SAIFI)

At the end of 2021, the indicators that measure the quality of supply by CEMIG D – (i) System Average Interruption Duration Index (‘SAIDI’), expressed as a figure per customer, in hours per year; and (ii) System Average Interruption Frequency Index (‘SAIFI’), also expressed as a customer-experienced average, were 9.46 and 4.60, respectively. In 2020, the figures for SAIDI and SAIFI were 9.71 and 5.07, respectively. The indicator calculation process is certified according to ISO Quality Standard 9001.

The result achieved in 2021 shows the efficiency in the application of resources, as well as the commitment to continuous improvement and customer service.

In December 2015, CEMIG D signed the contractual amendment that unified its concession contracts for the provision of public electricity distribution services, which extended the concessions from January 1, 2016 until December 31, 2045. The contract defined limits for the internal portion of the continuity indicators, Internal System Average Interruption Duration Index (‘SAIDI-i’) and Internal System Average Interruption Frequency Index (‘SAIFI-i’), and since 2016 CEMIG has been complying with the contract limits, as shown in the table below.

In 2021, the Company achieved the best result in its history, 9.46 hours, compared to the limit of 10.08 hours set by the Grantor (‘ANEEL’).

The concession contracts have limitation of in the distribution of dividends and/or payment of Interest on Equity to the minimum established by law, in the event of non-compliance with the annual indicators for outages (SAIDI and SAIFI) for two consecutive years, or three times in a period of five years, until the regulatory parameters are restored. CEMIG D was non-complaint for three times in the past five years, and, in such circumstances, CEMIG D limited the amount of dividend and interest on equity, to 25% of net income.

·Free customers both in the State of Minas Gerais and other states of Brazil, through the Free Market;
·Other participants of the energy sector – traders, generators, and independent power producers, also in the Free Market; and
·Distributors, in the Regulated Market.

 

In 2021, we sold a total of 54,087 GWh, or 1.5% more than in 2020, while the total of power we transported for free customers was 10.5% higher, at 22,183 GWh. Sales of energy to final customers plus our own consumption in 2021 totaled 43,263 GWh, or 9.8% higher than in 2020. Sales to distributors, traders, other generating companies, and independent power producers in 2021-totaled 10,825 GWh – or 22.2% less than in 2020.

In December 2021, CEMIG Group invoiced 8,886,126 customers – a growth of 2.2% in the customer base in the year since December 2020. Of these, 8,885,708 are final customers, including CEMIG’s own consumption; and 418 are other agents in the Brazilian energy sector.

 

Sales to Final Customers

Residential

The residential customer category accounted for 20.7% of CEMIG’s energy sales in 2021, totaling 11,186 GWh – or 1.9% more than in 2020. The average monthly consumption per customer in 2021 was 127.7 kWh/month, or 0.7% less than in 2020 (128,6 kWh/month).

This higher consumption by the residential customer category can be explained by the growth of 2.6% in the number of customers.

 

Industrial

Energy billed to regulated and free industrial customers in the State of Minas Gerais and other states was 30.2% of the total volume of energy traded by us in 2021, at 16,361 GWh, or 28.5% higher than in 2020.

 
77 
Table of Contents 
 

This increase is the result of the reduction of 4.4% in the captive market, and the increase of 33.8% in the free market.

The reduction in the captive market is due to the migration of consumers to the free market, and the variation in energy sold to free industrial customers is related to new sales contracts from January 2021 and increased consumption after flexibilization of activities during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

Commercial and Services

Energy sold to regulated and free customers in this category in Minas Gerais and other states was 15.4% of the total volume of energy traded by us in 2021, at 8,334 GWh, 2.8% less than in 2020. This reflects a decrease of 5.5% in the volume billed to regulated customers of CEMIG D, and an increase of 0.1% in the volume billed by CEMIG GT and its wholly owned subsidiaries to free customers in Minas Gerais and other Brazilian states.

The commercial and services category was affected by the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the captive market reflects the significant migration of consumers to distributed microgeneration and the migration of consumers to the free market.

 

Rural Customers

Energy consumed by the rural customer category in 2021, at 3,975 GWh, was 5.6% higher than in 2020, and 7.3% of the total in 2021. These results are primarily related to the increase in consumption of the irrigation segment, due to less rainfall in several months of 2021 compared to 2020.

 

Other customer categories

Supply to other categories – government, public lighting, public services, and our own consumption – totaled 3,406 GWh in 2021 or 1.6% higher than in 2020.

 

Sales in the Free Market, and ‘Bilateral Contracts’

In 2021, total sales of energy were 8,728 GWh, or 26.1% less than in 2020.

This reduction is resulted of the variation of the volume contracted with traders of customers and the higher volume of short-term sales to traders in the first months of 2020, that happened in order to redeem part of the credit that CEMIG GT has in the CCEE.

 

Sales in the Regulated Market

Sales in the Regulated Market in 2021 totaled 2,097 GWh or 0.1% less than in 2020.

Billing

Normative Resolution 1,000/2021, published by the ANEEL, regulates billing of customers who have active supply contracts with CEMIG D, among other instruments.

According to the Resolution, consumption of energy, and other items charged, are billed monthly, based on the voltage level delivered to the customer unit and the installed load at that unit. ‘Installed load’ means the sum of the nominal potentials of the electrical equipment installed in the customer unit that is in a condition to operate, expressed in kilowatts (‘kW’). ‘Customer unit’ means the group of items comprising installations, facilities, branch connection, electrical equipment, cables and accessories (including the substation, in cases of supply at primary voltage), with receipt of energy at only one point of delivery, and individualized metering corresponding to a single customer located in one single property or in contiguous properties.

CEMIG D’s customers are divided into Low, Medium and High Voltage.

Invoices of High voltage customers, which are connected directly to the transmission network, are payable five working days after reading of the meter. These customers receive the payment document – the energy invoice – by email.

 
80 
Table of Contents 
 

Medium Voltage customers are those that receive supply at a voltage of 2.3 kV or more, which amount to about 13,552 customers, which are billed within two business days after the meter reading. They receive invoices both in printed form and by email, payable five business days from the date of delivery at the customer’s address. Due to modernization and automation of the meter reading of these customer units, by using remote metering, CEMIG D now has approximately 99.89% of its billing automated. This enables the customer unit to be metered in Real time – so that CEMIG D records and updates consumption of energy at regular intervals.

Low Voltage customers are billed in cycles, which vary between 27 and 33 days. The bill is delivered simultaneously with the meter reading. A total of 8,167 million customer units are billed using this technology, which is known as ‘On Site Billing’. These bills are payable five business days from the date of their delivery (or 10 business days for the establishments of public entities and bodies). The great majority of the amounts billed to this category of customers are for energy actually consumed. Only 1.08% of these customers are billed based on estimated consumption (i.e., on the arithmetic mean of the amounts recorded for the 12 months prior to the consumption that is not measured).

In addition to the implementation of ‘On Site Billing’, CEMIG D has invested to increase the number of bills sent by email, which grew by 53.9% in 2021, with approximately 725 thousand customers now receiving their billing online. CEMIG intensify campaigns to incentivize customers to choose this way of receiving their monthly bills. The reduction in the volume of printed-paper used for billing helps reduce its global cost to the Company and contributes to environmental sustainability for the planet.

In 2021, CEMIG D saved approximately R$1.651 million with the electronic invoices sent monthly. Modernization of the billing system and the distribution network has significantly contributed to customers’ satisfaction and the quality of CEMIG’s energy supply. CEMIG intends to continue with improvement in this and related fields.

 

Seasonality

CEMIG’s sales of energy are affected by seasonality. Historically, consumption by industrial and commercial customers increases in the fourth quarter due to their increase in activity. The seasonality of rural consumption is usually associated with rainfall periods. During the dry season between the months of May and November, more energy is used to irrigate crops. The table below presents quarterly figures for energy billed by the CEMIG Group to final users, regulated customers and free customers from 2019 to 2021, in GWh:

Year  First Quarter  Second Quarter  Third Quarter  Fourth Quarter
2021   10,507  10,627  10,931  11,165
2020   10,119  9,267  9,754  10,227
2019   10,343  10,339  10,656  10,838

Contracts with Free Customers

On December 31, 2021 CEMIG GT had a portfolio of contracts with 4,647 free customers. Of this total, 3,363 customers were located outside of the State of Minas Gerais, amounting to 73% of the total volume of energy sold by CEMIG GT in 2021.

The strategy adopted by CEMIG in the Free Market is to negotiate and enter into long-term contracts, thus establishing and maintaining a long-term relationship with customers. We seek to differentiate ourselves in the Free Market from our market competitors by the type of relationship we have with our customers and the quality of our services, which have added value for CEMIG GT. This strategy, together with a sales strategy that seeks to minimize exposure to short-term prices and contracts with a minimum demand on a take-or-pay basis, translates into lower risk and greater predictability of our results.

Environmental Matters

Overview

Our generation, transmission and distribution of energy and our distribution of natural gas are subject to federal and state legislation relating to preservation of the environment. The Brazilian Constitution gives the Federal Government, states and municipalities powers to enact laws designed to protect the environment and issue enabling regulations under these laws. As a general rule, while the Federal Government has the power to promulgate general environmental regulations, state governments have the power to enact specific and even more stringent environmental regulation and municipalities also have the power to enact laws in their local interest. We have complied with the relevant environmental laws and regulations in all material aspects.

In accordance with our environmental policy, we have established various programs to prevent and minimize damage, aiming to limit our risks related to environmental issues.

 

Management of vegetation in the energy system

The important and essential role of vegetation for maintaining life on the planet is widely known in various fields of research. The presence of trees and green areas in an urban environment – the presence of volumes of trees in urban areas – is determinant for maintaining safe environmental conditions for society.

However, the interaction of trees with electricity distribution cables can cause serious risks to the population as well as outages in supply of electricity to consumers. As a result, CEMIG carries out regular annual preventive maintenance programs in both urban and rural regions.

In urban areas, maintenance mainly takes the form of pruning of trees that present a real or potential risk of touching electricity cables. The pruning is supervised by professionals legally qualified for this work and carried out by trained teams to preserve the electricity system and the health and safety of the trees.

In rural areas, the path below electricity cables is cleaned, which consists of the removal of vegetation, whether on the scale of herbal species, bushes or trees that are in the path of electricity power networks and distribution lines. This activity is also supervised by trained and qualified professionals and can be carried out on a localized one-off basis, to achieve maximum preservation of the environmental conditions at the location.

 

Research and Development projects

In recent years CEMIG has invested a considerable amount of funds in innovation projects, through the Research and Development (P&D– ‘Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento’) program of Brazil’s electricity regulator, ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica). The innovations developed through the Company's R&D projects directly benefit the public. Some examples include an electric car project, a project for an unmanned aerial vehicle, and expansion of the use of solar energy.

The Vegetable Handling unit has also developed research projects for generation of innovative methodologies and improvement of CEMIG’s environmental performance in this area. Some highlights are:

·P&D 601 The Project “Breaking Tree Branches: a model for risk of tree branches falling, for preventive maintenance and reduction of impact on the distribution network”. This is a project in partnership with the São Paulo Technological Research Institute (Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas de São Paulo – IPT), to build an easy-to-use mathematical model to be able to predict the risk of falling branches that are located above electricity networks, based on their physical and morphological characteristics. This enables preventive measures to be taken to avoid accidents and electricity outages.
·P&D 615:Development of a methodology for evaluating urban trees for risk of falling, using ground penetrating radar.” This is a project in partnership with the Sete Lagoas campus of the Federal University of São João del Rei, aiming to develop a method of assessing the conditions of the roots of urban trees, since the greatest cause of trees falling on electricity networks is rupture or absence of sustaining roots.

·P&D 628: “Development of a Computer Tool for Management of Trees Close to Electricity Networks – Continuation: Other Causes”. This is a continuation of Project D509, a partnership with Rio de Janeiro Federal University, aiming to construct a low-cost system for monitoring of electricity outages caused by interaction between vegetation and distribution cables.

The purpose of environmental licensing is to establish conditions, restrictions and environmental control measures that should be complied with by entities and individuals to install, expand and operate entities or activities that use environmental resources or have the potential to cause damage to the environment.

Brazilian law requires obtaining licenses for various activities, including construction, installation, expansion and operation of any facility that uses environmental resources, causes significant environmental or polluting degradation or has the potential to cause environmental degradation or pollution or even impacts heritage archaeological, historical and cultural of the community.

Each license is valid for a specific period of time, and a renewal filing must be made before its expiration. Under Complementary Law No. 140 of December 8, 2011, the renewal filing of an environmental license must be made at least 120 days before the license expires and remains valid until the environmental authority states an opinion and/or issues a new license. If the renewal filing is not made within this period, and the license is not renewed, and the company continues its activities, the company will be subject to administrative and criminal sanctions.

Failure to obtain and comply with the requirements of an environmental license to construct, implement, operate, expand or enlarge an entity that causes environmental impact, such as the energy plants operated and in implementation by CEMIG, is subject to administrative sanctions, such as fines, suspension of operations, as well as criminal sanctions, such as fines and imprisonment for individuals and restriction of rights for legal entities. We have projects licensed at both the federal and state levels.

 

Environmental Operating Licensing

Federal Law No. 9,605, enacted on February 12, 1998, stipulates penalties for facilities that operate without environmental licenses. In 1998, the Federal Government issued Provisional Act No. 1,710 (currently Provisional Act No. 2,163-41/01), which allows project operators to enter into agreements with the relevant environmental regulators in order to comply with Federal Law No. 9,605/98. Accordingly, we have been negotiating with (i) IBAMA; and (ii) the Regional Environmental Management Units (“Suprams”), which is the environmental authority of the State of Minas Gerais to obtain the environmental operating licenses for all our plants and transmission lines that began operating prior to February 1986.

For the generation facilities located in the State of Minas Gerais, which are subject to the environmental licensing under state level, we have agreed with Supram and IBAMA to bring our facilities into compliance on a gradual basis. For those facilities of CEMIG GT that started operations before February 1986, we have prepared the required environmental assessments, filed applications before the appropriate environmental bodies, and submitted them for analysis. Under the applicable law, the Company is allowed to operate while awaiting the requisition appreciation. In order to comply with the conditions, we used the Condition Compliance Index – ICC.

In 2021, CEMIG GT obtained four corrective operational licenses, entered into one Conduct Adjustment Commitment, and received four Authorizations for Environmental Intervention (Documentos Autorizativos para Intervenção Ambiental – DAIAs); and CEMIG D received 35 Authorizations for Regularization for projects, within the DAIA category. All the processes referred to above were regularized in the regional units of the Minas Gerais State Forests Institute (Instituto Estadual de Florestas – IEF) by its offices distributed throughout the State of Minas Gerais.

Distribution of natural gas by Gasmig through pipelines throughout Minas Gerais is also subject to environmental control. In most cases the environmental authority of the State of Minas Gerais (Secretary of State for Environment and Sustainable Development – SEMAD) has issued all licenses necessary for the regular operation of Gasmig’s activities.

Environmental licenses and authorizations issued by relevant municipal, state and federal bodies usually impose conditions relating to environmental impacts inherent to our activities, which must be complied with for the environmental licenses to remain valid. They must be complied with as long as the license is in force. To this end, CEMIG is taking appropriate steps for full compliance, and to provide evidence of compliance to the relevant environmental authorities, in each case to avoid any subsequent administrative or criminal penalties, which can include fines, suspension of operations or revocation of licenses.

 

Environmental Legal Reserves

Under Article No. 12 of Federal Law No. 12,651, of May 25, 2012 (the new “Brazilian Forest Code”), a Legal Reserve is an area located inside a rural property or holding that is necessary for the sustainable use of natural resources, conservation or rehabilitation of ecological processes, conservation of biodiversity or for shelter or protection of native fauna and flora. As a general rule, all owners of rural properties must preserve an area as a Legal Reserve. However, Article 12, §7º of the new Brazilian Forest Code establishes that a Legal Reserve will not be required for areas acquired or expropriated by the holder of a concession, permission or authorization to exploit hydroelectric power potential, in which projects for electric power generation, or energy substations or transmission or distribution lines are operating.

In Minas Gerais, State Law No. 20,922, enacted on October 16, 2013, made provisions in the Forest Policy and the Biodiversity Protection Policy in the state, adapting the environmental legislation to the provisions of the Forest Code. This had the effect of revoking the requirement for a Legal Reserve in the case of hydroelectric generation projects, enabling the processes of the Corrective Environmental Licensing that had been held up in the previous year for this reason to be resumed. In the federal sphere, IBAMA’s technical licensing team, in the corrective licensing of CEMIG’s plants, expressed an opinion, in correspondence sent to us on July 29, 2008, stating that in CEMIG’s case there was no need for the constitution of Legal Reserves.

The approval of the new Brazilian Forest Code and the exclusion of the hydropower projects from the need to register a Legal Reserve settled this issue allowing for the continuation of the process of the environmental licensing of the several projects of the company, with the acquisition of the pending operating licenses and the maintenance of its legal compliance.

 

Permanent Preservation Areas

The vegetation surrounding the reservoir is statutorily classified as Permanent Preservation Areas or APPs. The length of the APP varies depending on whether the reservoir is located in rural or urban areas. In rural areas, at least 30 meters should be preserved, while in urban areas, at least 15 meters should be preserved. Preservation of APPs is mandatory, and intervention is allowed in specific situations, and pursuant to State Law No. 20,922/ 2013, for reservoirs that were registered or had their concession or authorization contracts entered into before August 24, 2001, the APP range will be the distance between the maximum normal operating level and the maximum quota.

Lack of preservation of vegetation in APPs or unauthorized suppression of vegetation in APPs may lead to administrative sanctions, such as fines ranging from R$5,000 to R$50,000 per hectare, limited to R$50 million and criminal liability.

Law 12,651/12 regulates that the APPs of artificial reservoirs should be subject to a specific program created to regulate the use and conservation measures of the area surrounding the reservoir. Such program is called Environmental Plan for Use and Conservation of the Reservoir Surrounding Area (Plano Ambiental de Conservação e Uso do Entorno do Reservatório or “PACUERA”) and should be prepared according to the minimum requirements determined by the competent environmental authority in the environmental licensing proceeding.

With the new Forest Policy Law of Minas Gerais State, the requirement above was incorporated into state legislation and the preparation and approval of the PACUERA should be in a condition for the grant of operating licenses.

We have now incorporated the performance of PACUERA into the proceedings for obtaining the operating licenses of the projects subject to environmental licensing on the state level. CEMIG GT prepared and filed applications before the environmental bodies relating to all the required environmental assessments, including PACUERA, in respect to all facilities using artificial reservoir as required by law.

 

Compensation Measures

According to Federal Law No. 9,985, enacted on July 18, 2000, and to Decree No. 4,340, enacted on August 22, 2002, companies whose activities result in major environmental impacts are required to invest in and maintain conservation units in order to mitigate those impacts. Conservation units are areas that are subject to special protection and include ecological stations, biological reserves, national parks and relevant ecological interest areas. The environmental authority that is competent to license the project stipulates the environmental compensation for each company depending on the specific degree of pollution or damage to the environment.

Federal Decree No. 6,848/2009, enacted on May 14, 2009, and Minas Gerais State Decree No. 45,175, enacted on September 17, 2009, regulate the methodology for deciding these compensation measures, requiring that up to 0.5% of the total amount invested in the implementation of a project that causes significant environmental impact must be applied in compensation measures.

State Decree No. 45,175/2009 was amended by Decree No. 45,629/2011, which established the reference value of projects that cause significant environmental impact, as follows:

·For projects executed before the publication of Federal Law No. 9,985, enacted in 2000, the net book value (Valor Contábil Líquido or “VCL”) will be used, excluding revaluations or, in its absence, the value of the investment made to the project; and
·Compensation for environmental projects executed after the publication of Federal Law No. 9,985, enacted in 2000, will use the reference established in Item IV of Article 1 of Decree No. 45,175, enacted in 2009, calculated at the time of execution of the project, and updated based on an inflation-linked adjustment index.

 

Due to the impact of the 2013 Energy Concessions Law (Law No. 12,783, enacted on January 11, 2013) on the business of CEMIG GT, the Company filed a consultation with the IEF, to be informed about the environmental compensation payable in relation to the Transmission System. The IEF submitted the inquiry to the Federal General Attorneys’ Office (Advocacia Geral da União, or “AGU”). As of the date of this annual report, the Company has not received a reply to this consultation.

In addition to the environmental compensation referred to above, forest compensations for cleaning of energy tower paths and accesses in which vegetation has been suppressed are routine.

Other environmental requirements can become applicable due to the impacts of various projects; such requirements could include the structuring and operation of programs to monitor fauna and flora of regions surrounding facilities of the energy system, environmental education programs, and programs for recovery of degraded areas (Programas de Recuperação de Áreas Degradadas, or “PRADs”).

Fish Management – The Peixe Vivo Program

Construction of hydroelectric plants may create a risk for a fish due to various changes in the aquatic environment caused by operation of plants. One of the main activities of CEMIG’s Environmental Management Department is to prevent and mitigate environmental accidents involving the native fish population at its hydroelectric power plants. Further, CEMIG has developed a methodology for evaluating the risk of fish mortality at the plants to mitigate the impacts caused by the operation of its plants. The company also carries out research projects in partnership with universities and research centers to develop scientific knowledge to serve as a basis for more effective fish population conservation programs to be implemented by CEMIG.

In June 2007, we created the Peixe Vivo Program (“Programa Peixe Vivo”) as a result of members of senior management believing that it was necessary to take more effective measures to preserve fish populations of the rivers where the company has operations. The program’s main activities are summed up in its mission, which is: “To minimize the impact on fish species, seeking handling solutions and technologies that will integrate energy generation by CEMIG with conservation of native fish species, promoting involvement of the community”.  Since its creation, the program has been operating on two fronts – one seeking preservation of fish populations in the State of Minas Gerais, and the other focusing on forming protection strategies to avoid and prevent fish deaths at CEMIG’s hydroelectric plants. The adoption of scientific criteria for decision-making, establishment of partnerships with other institutions and modification of practices adopted because of the information generated are the principles that guide the work of the Peixe Vivo team.

Since 2018, the members of Peixe Vivo Program have been developing the fish death risk assessment program (‘Programa de Avaliação do Risco de Morte de Peixes – PARMP’) aiming to mitigate potential risks related to maintenance and operation of hydroelectric plants. Fish fauna monitoring executed periodically and before operational procedures of plants is the main action of Peixe Vivo Program team to reach the goal of PARMP. Biologists evaluate fish density and environmental conditions based on monitoring data. The PARMP has been developed and validated during two consecutive research projects and is now implemented as continually optimizing program of the Company. So far, a 78% reduction of mean monthly fish biomass impacted by operation of plants has been observed since the beginning of PARMP.

On average, over the period 2007 to 2021 CEMIG spent R$6.2 million per year in activities and research projects in relation to the Peixe Vivo program.

The Peixe Vivo program runs five scientific projects in partnership with research institutions, involving more than 78 students and researchers.

These partnerships, which have been operating since 2007, have resulted in 670 technical publications up to today’s date, and have been referenced nationally and internationally for the practices of fish conservation and dialog with the community, presenting CEMIG’s work in several countries, and various states of Brazil. These academic results, jointly with the involvement of the community, have been used to create more efficient and practical conservation programs that make it possible for fish to coexist with generation plants in Brazilian rivers.

 

Urban Occupation of Rights of Way and Reservoir Banks

Gas Pipelines — Gasmig’s natural gas distribution networks are underground and run through rural and urban areas. Pipes are usually installed on public roads near pluvial drainage, sanitation, energy and telecommunications, among other utilities. Installation of the networks in the urban subsoil presents risks of damage to the pipelines from third party maintenance workers. However, all our gas networks are flagged according to national standards and internal procedures. In addition to security signaling, the presence of the Gasmig network in roads, streets and other areas is shown on the Company’s website, where the network map is made available in a complete and up-to-date manner. Gasmig provides free on- site guidance services for third parties excavations through its Dig Safely (“Escave com Segurança”) program. Guidance and support for safe execution of their work can be requested through Gasmig’s 24-hour helpline.

Gasmig also has network inspection plans, in order to verify the security conditions of the system and prevent illegal intrusions, constructions or erosions nearby the pipelines.

In 2021, mitigation measurements adopted by Gasmig reduced third parties’ damages flaws comparing prior numbers. The efficiency of third parties’ damages prevention was about 99.73%, considering the total number of interventions executed near the pipelines. Gasmig’s distribution networks have clear signage, with geo-referencing recorded on a central register. This register is available for prior consultation and orientation when the public or other organizations are preparing or proposing projects. Orientation is given for carrying out works that might interfere with gas pipelines. The loss of natural gas was reduced because of the low pressure used on damages ducts and because of the short time response to leak containment. In collaboration to shorten the response of incidents, safe zones (blockades) were created, making the attendance more effective. Gasmig also implemented a Management Plan of the Integrity of Metallic Gas Pipeline. From that plan, appropriate techniques are being used to a direct assessment threats to external and internal corrosion of gas pipelines.

 

Irregular occupation of high-voltage overhead lineswe have easements for our transmission and distribution networks over land subject to restrictions. A significant portion of such land areas, however, has been occupied by unauthorized construction, majority residential constructions. This type of activity causes risks of electric shock and accidents involving residents and constitutes an obstacle to the maintenance and operation of our energy system. We are currently seeking solutions for these problems, which will involve either resettlement of these occupants or improvements that would make it possible to maintain our energy system safely and efficiently.

To mitigate these risks, we have been monitoring and recording invasions and by taking action to prevent invasions on the paths of the transmission and sub transmission lines. A number of measures have been adopted to preserve the security of these lines, including: contracting of a company for systematic inspection, and implementation of security measures and works to minimize the risks of accidents; and removal of occupation of the transmission line pathways through agreements with local residents and partnerships with the municipalities in our concession area.

 

Irregular occupation in Generation assets – Generation assets security measures are adopted to protect power generation facilities against invasions. Invaders found inside the facility are included by the surveillance team and provided to retire from the site, which occurs without resistance or violence.

The plants are marked with fences and warning signs, indicating that the property is private, that hunting, fishing and swimming are prohibited on site. In order to optimize security at the plants, the implementation of electronic security systems is planned.

In the risk areas of hydroelectric generation facilities, there are signs indicating ownership of the prohibition on fishing and swimming, due to the possibility of a sudden rise in the water level causing fatal accidents. The use of nautical signaling buoys close to large dams indicates a safe area and prohibits the entry of vessels.

The Company maintains a team to carry out periodic inspections in its areas, advising the community on the prohibition of construction and removal of irregular occupants before the company takes legal action for repossession.

Considering the vast area and the number of reservoirs, the Company is implementing in its inspection methodology the use of satellite images to identify irregular occupations, which helps to identify these invasions and any environmental damage with greater efficiency.

The Carbon Market

We believe that Brazil has a significant potential to generate carbon credits from clean energy projects that observe the Clean Development Mechanism, or “CDM”, or the Voluntary Markets. Every year, we seek to quantify our emissions and publish our main initiatives in reducing the emission of carbon dioxide, for example through the Carbon Emission Project.

The CEMIG Group participates in CDM projects registered in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which includes seven SHPs with a capacity of 116 MW and two hydroelectric power plants with a combined generation capacity of 3,708 MW and a solar power plant with capacity of 3MW. The process of verification and emission of part of the carbon credits of Cachoeirão SHP and UHEs Baguari and Santo Antônio has been completed, corresponding to approximately 1,402 tons of CO2 emissions avoided through this program. 

 

Management of equipment and waste contaminated with Polychlorinated Biphenyls, or “PCBs”

Brazil has signed and ratified the Stockholm Convention (SC) that includes goals related to the management of PCBs within electrical equipment. Brazil has prohibited the production, import and sale of PCBs since 1981 and it has been making efforts towards the goals of the SC.

At CEMIG, almost all of the large equipment contaminated with PCB were removed from the electrical system and sent for incineration. The few large equipment contaminated with PCB still under operation are going to be properly disposed of within the deadlines of the SC.

CEMIG has been maintaining its historical good practices in order to avoid further contamination.

 

Environmental Actions of Gasmig

Gasmig is carrying out environmental recovery operations in areas of the Serra do Rola Moça State Park, due to the need for environmental offsetting in relation to gas pipelines being installed.

The Serra do Rola Moça State Park covers parts of the municipalities of Belo Horizonte, Brumadinho, Nova Lima and Ibirité. The Serra do Rola Moça State Park has a rich biodiversity and it has great importance in the protection of hydrological resources.

The areas in which Gasmig is working were degraded by old mine facilities and are in an area that is easy to access, close to the Integrated Operations Center.

Physical adaptations have been made for improvements in surface water runoff, with the construction of various palisades for retention of sediments, to favor site quality for planting of 3,000 saplings of tree species that are native to the region.

Gasmig’s planning includes construction of the Center-West Natural Gas Distribution System (Sistema de Distribuição de Gás Natural Centro Oeste, or SDGN Centro Oeste), a gas pipeline initially enabling interconnection of the municipalities of Betim, Sarzedo, Juatuba, Mateus Leme, Igarapé, Itaúna and Divinópolis.

All the environmental studies have been completed – including the Environmental Impact Study (Estudo de impactos ambientais- “EIA) and the related Environmental Impact Statement (RIMA). These studies will support consideration of the application for the environmental license, which is the responsibility of the Minas Gerais State Priority Projects Supervision Authority (Autoridade de Supervisão de Projetos Prioritários do Estado de Minas Gerais -Suppri), of the State Environment and Sustainable Development Department (Semad).

 

Operational Technologies – CEMIG

CEMIG invests in automated monitoring and control equipment, in connection with the strategy of increasing efficiency and further modernizing the generation, distribution and transmission grids. CEMIG keeps developing and implementing new systems, with the purpose of optimizing its internal activities and increasing the availability of its infrastructure and applications that support CEMIG’s business.

Load Dispatch Center

CEMIG’s System Operation Center (Centro de Operação do Sistema, or ‘COS’), located at the head office in Belo Horizonte, is the nerve center of the transmission and generation operations. With a modern control room, it coordinates the operations of the entire energy system, in Real time, providing operational integration of the generation and transmission of power. It also operates the interconnections with other generation, transmission, and distribution companies. The supervision and control executed by the COS now extends to 53 extra high voltage substations, 17 major generating power plants, 29 minor generating power plants and 3 wind farms.

Through its activities, the COS permanently guarantees the security, continuity, and quality of the energy supply to its clients and to the system. The activities of the COS are supported by up-to-date telecommunications, automation, and information technology resources, and executed by highly qualified personnel. The COS has a Quality Management System, with ISO 9001:2015 certification.

 

Distribution Operation Center

Our distribution network is managed by a Distribution Operation Center (Centro de Operações de Distribuição, or ‘COD’), located in Belo Horizonte. The COD monitors and coordinates our distribution network operations in real time. They are responsible for the supervision and control of 417 distribution substations, 328,251 miles of medium and low voltage distribution lines, and 11,122 miles of sub-transmission lines and 8.85 million customers and operates in 774 municipalities of Minas Gerais.

We provided an average of 19,141 operating services in the field a day in 2021. There are various systems in use to automate and support the COD’s processes, including trouble call, field crew management, distribution substation supervision and control, restoration of power, emergency switching, network disconnection, and inspection. Technologies, including a Geographic Information System and Satellite Data Communication Helpline, to reduce customer service restoration time and provide better customer service. These are devices, installed along our distribution network, that sense and interrupt fault currents, and automatically restore service after momentary outages, improving operational performance and reducing restoration time and costs.

Geoscience Information System

The Atlantis system modernized and unified CEMIG’s system of geoprocessing of distribution lines and networks. The system enables management of resources with a geospatial vision, allows the planning of expansions, records electrical equipment to the analysis of electrical networks, and assists in compliance with ANEEL’s normative resolutions.

The Geographic Information System (‘GIS’) enable us to give support to the processes of registry and design, as well as supporting the following corporate processes: network expansion and maintenance, protection of revenues, planning and supplies, property services and management of assets through full integration with the Enterprise Resource Planning (‘ERP’) system, besides supporting the operations.

Additionally, it provides support to engineering through integration with the electrical and mechanical calculations system that offers network analysis and suitable network sizing. The Atlantis system is used by CEMIG's high, medium, and low voltage asset registration teams.

In 2019, we´ve implemented the reconciliation of the grid registration units with the elements registered in SAP/ERP, the consultation module and the electrical calculation module.

Last year the Project Machine module was activated, which manages the process of elaborating electrical projects in an integrated way with the SAP/ECC system, so that the generation of the BOM (material list) is created in an automated way from the technical drawing elaborated in Atlantis with synchronization of all the steps of the process between the Atlantis System and the PM module of SAP/ECC. The process includes the customer's request in SAP/CRM, execution authorization, drawing preparation, sending of the BOM, budget preparation, authorization for execution of the work, construction, project modifications (as built), inspection, measurement of construction, payment, closing and capitalization of the assets deployed.

In 2021, we replaced the obsolete PIDION Windows Mobile platform - equipment used by electricians to attend customers services, deploying a up to date technology Android smartphone solution. This upgrade brought agility, safety and better experience for our field workers. This engineering system (acronymous GDIS - Gestão da Distribuição) is responsible for coordinating field service operations (maintenance, restoration and customer services in low and medium electric tensions), attending around 27 thousand customer services per day, performed by 2 thousand teams daily connected to this system by GPRS exchange message or satellite connection, sending about 700 thousand messages monthly.

CEMIG has another IT solutions based in GIS technologies, such as, geographic panels with data available in tabular and map views, automation panels for distribution's operations, system to management, inspection and security of dams and integrations to permit access to simple map views.

 

Internal Telecommunications Network

CEMIG's telecommunications network comprise 1036 Communication Stations. 387 of these have high-performance microwave links and an optical system of approximately 2,519 km of optic fiber providing a mix of telecommunications network. Our robust data network also contains communication facilities that share the infrastructure of substations, generation plants and high voltage transmission and distribution lines.

The solution provides a range of services from corporate and operational telephonic networks to the critical telecommunications network, which is dedicated to monitoring, protection and control of generation plants, substations, transmission and distribution lines, the dispatching of field teams to carry out technical and commercial services, as well as the forecast of lightning and storms and hydro meteorological systems to operate reservoirs.

To support the control and supervision of the medium voltage distribution network's system, there is a private radio communication system, installed in approximately 1,100 automated protection or switching equipment. Another 1,338 automated devices are monitored by a satellite solution, and a third party, with around 9,600 equipment (cellular and modems) are served by a public mobile network.

Commercial and technical services dispatch are supported by 1,200 mobile vehicle terminals connected by a hybrid satellite and cellular solution and 400 handhelds equipped with the cellular solution.

Approximately 60,000 energy meters make up an Advanced Metering Infrastructure ('AMI') and are equipped with the cellular or satellite communication solution and dedicated to revenue protection. There are currently 47,532 points settled in low voltage customers in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte.

The Telecommunication architecture is aligned with market standards, using latest version equipment, which is monitored, operated and managed using the latest technological solutions.

The Telecommunication Network Operation monitors and operates the infrastructure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure the continuity and reliability, in accordance with Brazilian´s regulatory requirements and in compliance with ANEEL regulations, operating procedures of the National Grid Operator ('ONS') and others specific regulations.

 

Corporate Data Network

Our corporate data network serves 608 units in 335 cities of Minas Gerais linked to a mix of private and public telecommunication infrastructure which includes microwave links, optical fibers and metallic cables networks.

The physical and logical network topologies employ security resources such as firewalls, intrusion prevention system (IPS), access control, antivirus and antispam systems, which are continuously updated to protect against unauthorized access, in accordance with ISO 27002. A security information and event management system (SIEM) makes it possible to investigate adverse events, while also providing a historical record base to meet legal requirements.

The Network and Security Operations Centers (‘NOC’ and ‘SOC’), at the Company’s head office, in Belo Horizonte, monitors, operates and manages the whole network and security infrastructure in Real time (24 hours per day, 7 days a week), maintaining confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data throughout the whole network.

 

Information Security Management

Information security, a permanent concern of ours, is ensured by a management system based on the Brazilian Standard (‘ABNT’) NBR ISO/IEC 27001:2013, which is aligned with best market practices. Our information security management system includes processes for policy, risk, communication, information classification and information security management and control. In addition, recurring actions for improvement in processes, communication, awareness and training strengthen our information security practices.

In 2021 CEMIG strengthened its cybersecurity program by adopting new technologies and tools to prevent cyber-attacks and data privacy breaches. That includes a new data loss prevention solution, modern antimalware, alert and monitoring tools.

CEMIG maintains an ongoing safety awareness program for its employees through annual campaigns.

 

IT Governance Program

Our Information & Technology Governance program seeks alignment with the business, adding value through the application of the appropriate management of resources and risks, constantly monitoring performance and compliance, ensuring adherence to legal, regulatory and compliance requirements that are continuously audited. In order to execute corporate strategy and objectives, the company aligns interests and goals with control objectives and with governance and management processes, translating business opportunities and needs into results with compliance and within the appropriate levels of risk. To support this governance program and ensure that the strategy is implemented, the processes employed by the IT department are directly related to the control objectives (based on COBIT framework, whenever possible), providing high-level requirements to be provided by management for effectiveness of each IT process and are based on IT service management (‘ITIL’) best practices.

 

IT Service Manager System

In order to serve CEMIG’s business areas and meet regulatory and compliance requirements, CEMIG has an IT service management system (ITSMS) that applies a set of management practices capable of capturing strategic business needs and expectations and which, through engagement with the company's business areas, performs the acquisition/construction of solutions, design, transition, deliver and support of products and services.

In order to enable and increase the effectiveness of this system, DTI has established a standardized mechanism for modeling the relationship between infrastructure assets and configuration of systems and applications with the Company's business processes, better representing the enterprise architecture and identification of applications and systems critical to CEMIG’s business. This mechanism includes the discovery and automated mapping of infrastructure elements for further modeling of these elements with applications and business processes. This end-to-end service modeling allows the simulation of situations with business impact analysis and cause analysis, provides data for all practices and processes of the value chain, enhancing decision making, risk assessment, information security and quality in the construction of new solutions.

Commercial Management System

We have established and consolidated an efficient customer service system, based on SAP CCS (‘Customer Care Solution’)/ CRM (‘Customer Relationship Management’) platform, fully integrated with the Business Intelligence (‘BI’) database, which supports our customer service processes.

The employees use CCS/CRM to manage and serve approximately 9 million customers who receive high, medium and low voltage energy supply. Both corporate tools offer security, quality and productivity to our processes of energy distribution with efficiency in accordance with the regulatory and Market requirements.

An important delivery carried out in 2021 was the functionality regarding payment of energy invoices by clients through PIX (PIX is a way of transferring money created by Brazil´s Central Bank – similar to Venmo and Zelle in the U.S.) directly to CEMIG, using a QR Code available in the invoice. This process of payment is integrated with SAP/CCS system.

Several customizations were developed in SAP/CCS to provide integrations with clients, which is the implementation of the Omnichannel strategy, with the integration of virtual agency, mobile app, WhatsApp application, call center, SMS messages and other channels of customer relationship.

Since 2019, we have used a solution based in Salesforce software to improve the efficiency and reliability of energy trading and trading actions related for the use of distribution system assets. We have obtained improvements in controls over energy sales processes, greater traceability of information, management of customer portfolios with mapping of new opportunities, use of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones and greater agility for customer billing.

The Salesforce solution was increased by the deployment of a portal accessed by specific customers. This portal offers an interface so that customers can make their requests and claims regarding energy quality.

A new solution of ETRM - Energy Trade and Risk Management has been deployed to users. This software makes it possible to systematize the energy contracting process and purchase and sale management in the Regulated Contracting Environment and Free Contracting Environment, in the Distribution, Generation and Commercial profiles. The ETRM software has also enabled the modernization and automation of processes that aim to improve the efficiency and reliability of energy trading activities and operations, providing a single work environment for managing contracts, payments and sales.

 

Management Tools

In 2019, we started a project to install new IT products to improve engineering processes, based on the Cyme Platform (‘CYME’), provided by Cooper Power Systems.

The CYME platform is an expert system that includes complex electrical calculations for the planning and study of distribution networks. In the case of CEMIG, which has an extensive and integrated distribution network and a significant level of complexity, the activities for implementing the technology solution are even more challenging and demanding, requiring considerable effort to complete the steps.

The project continued in 2020, although affected by pandemic. Interfaces and integrations were developed and customized to connect to Geographic Information System (‘GIS’) GE Smallworld, Outage Management System (‘OMS’) application, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (‘AMI’) and other systems. The CymDIS application that performs electric calculations based on our electric network was also delivered.

In 2021, the CYME project made two major deliveries: The CYME Server workshop and the CYME Gateway client interface tests. These deliveries will be the basis for the deployment of the CYME Server and subsequent completion of the project.

New mobile solution for collection of readings and simultaneous printing of invoices in the field: Since August 2020, we have readers using the new application "SGL Collector" (SGL is a reading management system) on smartphones. The new solution provides benefits of an application with a more intuitive graphical interface that makes it easy for the reader to learn and perform activities, associated with handling smaller, lighter equipment and with lower costs compared to the PDAs previously used.

The installation and updating of versions of the application on the readers' smartphones is done remotely and centrally, through a UEM (‘Unified Endpoint Management’) platform that guarantees all the security and integrity of the equipment and applications used by the field teams in the execution of the activities throughout CEMIG's concession area.

In 2021, we deployed a new version of the SGL Collector running in the Android operating system, and it has been installed and distributed to the teams of reading gradually.

The new web system SOE ("Sistema de Orçamento Empresarial") was installed in the financial department to help with corporative budget management. This software controls the entire flow of planning, load, execution and availability of financial resources and, because of this solution, we were able to adopt the new concept of Budget Basis Zero, named OBZ.

 

Customer Relationship Channels

We have six major channels of service to our Minas Gerais customers. Customer service contact, whether of an emergency nature or to deal with service requests, can be made via: (i) our call center, which can handle an average of 35,000 daily calls, also operates with an efficient electronic service through Interactive Voice Response (‘IVR or unidade de Resposta Audível’); (ii) in person at branches in the 774 cities of our concession area; (iii) through our Virtual Branch, called ‘CEMIG Atende Web’, on our website, which offers 72 types of service; (iv) via SMS; (v) via social networks as Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter; (vi) smartphone application ‘CEMIG Atende’ which offers 14 types of service and Telegram Messenger application which offers 17 types of services.

 

Maintenance and Repair Systems

The 11,002 miles of high voltage distribution lines in CEMIG D’s network, operating at from 34.5 kV to 230 kV, are supported by approximately 55,177 structures, mainly made of metal.

The network of CEMIG GT has 3,068 miles of high voltage transmission lines, operating at from 230 kV to 500 kV, supported by approximately 11,548 structures.

The majority of the service interruptions to our distribution and transmission lines are the result of lightning, farm surface fires, vandalism, wind, and corrosion.

The entire high voltage transmission line system of CEMIG D is inspected once a year by helicopter, using a ‘Gimbal’ gyro-stabilized system with conventional and infrared cameras, allowing for simultaneous visual and thermographic (infrared) inspections. Land-based inspections are also made at intervals of between one and three years, depending on the characteristics of the line, such as time in operation, number of outages, type of structure, and the line’s importance to the energy system as a whole.

All the extra high voltage transmission lines of CEMIG GT are inspected twice a year by helicopter. Land-based inspections are made every two years to inspect the supporting structures. Line pathways are inspected annually, aiming to keep the areas free of vegetation that could lead to surface fires.

We use modern modular aluminum structures to minimize the impact of emergencies involving fallen structures. Most of our maintenance work on transmission lines is done using live-wire methods. We have a well-trained staff and special vehicles and tools to support live- and dead-wire work.

Our set of spare equipment (transformers, breakers, arresters, etc.) and mobile substations are of great importance in prompt reestablishment of power to our customers in the event of emergencies involving failed substations.

Property, Plant, and Equipment and Intangible Assets

Our main assets are our power generation plants, transmission and distribution infrastructure. Our net book value of total property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including our investment in certain consortium that operate energy generation projects, including projects under construction, was R$15,372 million on December 31, 2021.

Generation facilities represented 22.96% of this net book value, intangible assets represented 84.26% of this net book value, distribution facilities in intangible assets represented 72.96%, and other intangible, including our gas distribution system represented 13.75% and other miscellaneous property and equipment, including transmission and telecommunication facilities, represented 13.29%.

The average annual depreciation rates applied to these facilities were: 3.14% for hydroelectric generation facilities, 6.35% for administration facilities, and 5.20% for wind facilities.

Apart from our distribution and generation network, no single one of our assets produced more than 10% of our total revenues in 2021. Our infrastructure is adequate for our present needs and suitable for their intended purposes. We have rights of way for our distribution lines, which are our assets and do not revert to the landowner upon expiration of our concessions.

 

The Brazilian Energy Industry

General

In the Brazilian energy sector, generation, transmission, and distribution activities were traditionally conducted by a small number of companies that had always been owned by either the Federal Government or the governments of individual states. Since the 1990s, several state-controlled companies were privatized, in an effort to increase efficiency and competition. The Fernando Henrique Cardoso administration (1995 – 2002) aimed to privatize the state-controlled part of the energy sector, but the Luis Inácio Lula da Silva administration (2003 – 2010) ended this process and implemented a ‘New Industry Model’ for the Brazilian energy sector, expressed in Law No. 10,848, enacted on March 15, 2004, referred to as the ‘New Industry Model Law’.

Significant changes were implemented during Dilma Rousseff’s administration (2011 – 2016), by means of Provisional Act No. 579/12, converted into Law No. 12,783/13, establishing new rules for renewal of concessions, including rebidding for hydroelectric power generation concessions.

Subsequently, under the administration of Michel Temer (2016–2018), other changes were introduced in the sector by Provisional Act 735/16, enacted as Law No. 13,360/16, including a change of the bidding rules for energy generation, transmission and distribution concessions, and related services as well as addressing the renegotiation of hydrological risk. In addition, in 2017, a series of public consultations, which discussed proposals for modernization, and expansion of the Free Market in electric power supply with the industry (Public Consultation No. 33) began.

During the first year under Jair Bolsonaro (2019 – present), the government proceeded with the studies proposed by public consultation nº 33, holding several workshops and meetings with agents to study the following topics: separation of energy contracts into capacity and energy contracts, pricing, definition of price limits and reduction of the spot price time base.

 

Main Regulatory Authorities

National Energy Policy Council – CNPE

In August 1997, the CNPE was created to advise the Brazilian president regarding the development and creation of the national energy policy. CNPE is presided over by the MME, and the majority of its members are officials of the Federal Government. CNPE was created to optimize the use of Brazil’s energy resources and to assure the supply of energy to the country.

Ministry of Mines and Energy – MME

The MME is the Brazilian Federal Government’s primary regulator of the power industry. Following the adoption of the New Industry Model Law, the Brazilian Federal Government, acting primarily through the MME, undertook certain duties that were previously under the responsibility of ANEEL, including the drafting of guidelines governing the granting of concessions and the issuance of directives governing the bidding process for concessions related to public services and public assets.

 

National Electric Energy Agency – ANEEL

The Brazilian power industry is regulated by ANEEL, an independent federal regulatory agency. After enactment of the New Industry Model Law, ANEEL’s primary responsibility is to regulate and supervise the power industry in line with the policy issued by MME and to respond to matters which are delegated to it by the Brazilian Federal Government.

 

National System Operator – ONS

The ONS was created in 1998 as a non-profit private entity comprising free customers, energy utilities engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of energy, and other private participants such as importers and exporters. The New Industry Model Law granted the Brazilian Federal Government the power to appoint three directors of the ONS, including the Director-general. The primary role of the ONS is to coordinate and control the generation and transmission operations in the interconnected power system, subject to ANEEL’s regulation and supervision.

 

Brazilian Electric Power Trading Chamber– CCEE

One of the main roles of the CCEE is to run public auctions in the regulated market, including the auction of existing energy and new energy. Additionally, the CCEE is responsible, among other things, for: (1) registering all the power purchase agreements within the Regulated Market (CCEARs), and the agreements within the Free Market, and (2) accounting for and settling short-term transactions.

Under the New Industry Model Law, the price of energy in the spot market, known as the Differences Settlement Price (Preço de Liquidação de Diferenças, or ‘PLD’), considers factors similar to the ones used to determine the Wholesale Energy Market spot prices prior to the New Industry Model Law. Among these factors, the variation of the PLD will mainly vary according to the balance between the market supply and demand for energy, as well as the impact that any variation on this balance may have on the optimal use of the energy generation resources by the ONS.

The members of the CCEE are generators, distributors, trading agents and free customers, and its board of directors comprises four members appointed by these agents and one appointed by the MME, who is the chairperson of the board of directors.

 

Energy Research Company – EPE

The Brazilian Federal Government created EPE by a decree enacted on August 16, 2004. It is a state-owned company, responsible for carrying out strategic research on the energy industry – including energy, oil, gas, coal and renewable energy sources. EPE is responsible for: (i) studying projections for the Brazilian energy matrix; (ii) preparing and publishing the national energy balance; (iii) identifying and quantifying energy resources; and (iv) obtaining the required environmental licenses for new generation concessionaires. EPE’s research supports the MME in its policymaking role in the domestic energy industry. EPE is also responsible for approving the technical qualification of new energy projects to be included in the related auctions.

Energy Sector Monitoring Committee – CMSE

Decree No. 5,175 enacted on August 9, 2004, established the Energy Sector Monitoring Committee, or CMSE, which acts under the direction of the MME. The CMSE is responsible for monitoring and permanently evaluating the continuity and security of energy supply conditions and for indicating necessary steps to correct identified problems.

 

Permanent Commission for Analysis of Methodologies and Computation Programs of the Electric Sector – CPAMP

Ordinance No. 47, enacted on February 19, 2008, created the Permanent Committee for Analysis of Methodologies and Computation Programs of the Electric Sector (‘CPAMP’), with the purpose of guaranteeing coherence and integration of the methodologies and computational programs used by MME, EPE, ONS and CCEE.

 

Ownership Limitations

On November 10, 2009, ANEEL issued Resolution No. 378, requiring it to notify the Economic Law Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice (‘SDE’) if it identifies any act that may cause unfair competition or may result in significant market control (under Article 54 of Law No.  8,884 enacted on June 11, 1994). After the notification, SDE must inform CADE. On November 30, 2011, Law No. 8,884 was revoked and replaced by Law No. 12,529, which terminated the SDE and replaced it with the Competition General Management Unit (‘Superintendência Geral’). Such unit, if necessary, will require ANEEL to analyze any such events, upon which CADE will decide if there should be any sanctions applied. Under Articles 37 and 45 of Law No. 12,529, these may vary from pecuniary penalties to dissolution or other disposition of the offending company.

 

The New Industry Model

The primary objective of the New Industry Model was to guarantee security of supply and reasonableness of rates. In terms of ensuring security of supply, the New Industry Model Law (a) requires distributors to contract their entire energy production, and to be responsible for making realistic projections of demand requirements; and (b) aims to arrange for the construction of new hydroelectric and thermal plants to be decided in ways that best balance security of supply and reasonableness of rates. To achieve reasonable rates, the New Industry Model Law requires that all purchases of energy by distributors to be by auction, based on lowest price criteria, and that contracting be carried out through the Regulated Market. Auctions are categorized into two types: (i) auctions for supply from new plants, aimed at expansion of the system; and (ii) auctions for power generated by existing plants, aiming to meet existing demand.

The New Industry Model created two environments for the purchase and sale of energy: (i) the Regulated Market, in which distributors purchase through public auctions all of the power they need to supply their customers; and (ii) the Free Market, to include all purchases of energy by non-regulated entities, such as free customers and trading companies. Distributors are allowed to operate only in the Regulated Market, whereas generators may operate in both, maintaining their competitive characteristics.

Requirements for expansion of the sector are evaluated by the Federal Government through the MME. Two entities were created to provide structure for the sector: (i) the Energy Research Company (Empresa de Pesquisa Energética or ‘EPE’), a state-controlled company responsible for planning expansion of generation and transmission; and (ii) CCEE, a private entity responsible for the accounting and settlement of short-term (spot) energy transactions. CCEE is also responsible, through delegation by ANEEL, for organizing and conducting Regulated Market public power auctions, in which the distributors purchase energy.

The New Industry Model eliminated self-dealing, forcing distributors to purchase energy at the lowest available price rather than from related parties. The New Industry Model exempted contracts executed prior to the enactment of the law, in order to provide regulatory stability to transactions carried out before it was enacted.

Several categories of power supply are not subject to the requirement for public auction via the Regulated Market: (1) certain low-capacity generation projects located near consumption points (such as certain co-generation plants and SHPs); (2) plants qualified under the PROINFA program; (3) power from Itaipu and, as from January 1, 2013, from Angra I and II; (4) power purchase agreements entered into before the New Industry Model Law; and (5) concessions extended by Law No. 12,783. The rates at which the energy generated by Itaipu is traded are denominated in U.S. dollars and established by ANEEL pursuant to a treaty between Brazil and Paraguay, and there are compulsory procurement volumes. Consequently, the price of energy from Itaipu rises or falls according to the U.S. Dollar/Real exchange rate. Changes in the price of Itaipu-generated energy are, however, neutralized by the Brazilian Federal Government, which buys all the energy credits from Eletrobrás.

The New Industry Model Law is currently being challenged on constitutional grounds before the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court. The Brazilian Federal Government moved to dismiss the actions, arguing that the constitutional challenges were moot because they relate to a provisional act that had already been converted into law. To date, the Brazilian Supreme Court has not reached a final decision upon the merits of this action and we do not know when such a decision may be reached. Thus, the New Industry Model Law is currently in force. Regardless of the Supreme Court’s final decision, certain portions of the New Industry Model Law related to restrictions on distributors performing activities unrelated to the distribution of energy, including sale of energy by distributors to free customers and the elimination of agreements between related parties, are expected to remain in full force and effect.

 

Coexistence of Two Energy Trading Environments

Under the New Industry Model Law, energy purchase and sale transactions are carried out in two different market segments: (1) the Regulated Market, in which distributors buy all their power supply needs through public bids; and (2) the Free Market, for all purchases of energy by non-regulated entities such as free customers, energy traders and energy importers.

 

The Regulated Market

In the Regulated Market, distributors purchase energy for their regulated customers through public auctions regulated by ANEEL and conducted by the CCEE.

Energy purchases take place through two types of bilateral contracts: (i) Energy Agreements (Contrato de Quantidade de Energia) and (ii) Capacity Agreements (Contratos de Disponibilidade de Energia). Under an Energy Agreement, a generator commits to supply a certain amount of energy and assumes the risk that energy supply could be adversely affected by hydrological conditions and low reservoir levels, among other conditions, that could interrupt the supply of energy, in which case the generator will be required to purchase the energy from third parties to meet its supply commitments. Under a Capacity Agreement, a generator commits to make a certain amount of capacity available to the Regulated Market. In this case, the revenue of the generator is guaranteed under the contractual conditions and the distributor assumes the hydrological risk. However, if there are additional costs to the distributors, these are passed on to customers. Together, these agreements comprise the power purchase agreements (Contratos de Comercialização de Energia no Ambiente Regulado, or ‘CCEARs’) in the Regulated Market.

The regulations under the New Industry Model Law establish that distributors that contract less than 100% of their total demand, accounted in the CCEE, will be subject to penalties. There are mechanisms to reduce the possibility of penalties, such as participation in the MCSD mechanism (‘Mechanism of compensation of surpluses and deficits’), which allows for the managing of surpluses and deficits among distributors, or purchase of supply in auctions during the year. Any remaining shortfall from 100% of total demand may be purchased at the spot market. If a company contracts more than 105% of its total demand, it would be subject to price risk if it sells that supply in the spot market in the future. To reduce this price risk, a company may reduce its purchase contracts made at ‘existing source’ auctions by up to 4% each year, by bilateral negotiation through Regulation 711, through MCSD ‘New Energy contracts’, and through loss of customers that have opted to become free customers (and are thus supplied by generators directly).

With the renewal of the hydroelectric power plant concessions, Contracts for the Physical Accounts Security (‘CCGF’) were created. These contracts take into account 90% of the energy generated by the plants whose concessions were renewed in order to mitigate the hydrological risk. The execution of CCGF is mandatory and each distributor received an amount according to the assessment made by ANEEL.

 

The Free Market

In the Free Market, energy is traded by power generators. The Free Market also includes certain grandfathered existing bilateral contracts between generators and distributors until the expiration of their current terms. Upon expiration, new contracts would have to be executed under the New Industry Model Law.

Potentially free customers are those whose energy demand exceeds 3 (three) MW at a voltage equal to or higher than 69kV or at any voltage level if their supply began after July 1995. Since January 2019, customers whose supply began before 1995 were also able to migrate to the Free Market pursuant to Law No. 13,360/16. In July 2019, the restriction to be a free customer will be reduced to 2.5 MW and in January 2020 to 2 MW (Ministerial Order 514/2018). On December 12, 2019, Ministerial Order no. 465/2019 reduced the restriction to be free consumer to 1.5 MW in January 2021, to 1.0 MW in January 2022 and to 0.5 MW in January 2023. This order also gave ANEEL and CCEE a deadline (January 2022) to finish and present regulatory measures necessary to allow the free market to be opened for consumers with a load below 0.5 MW, including the regulated energy trader and proposed opening schedule beginning January 1, 2024.

Until the total opening, customers with contracted demand of 500 kW or more may be serviced by suppliers other than their local distribution company if they purchase from certain alternative energy sources, such as SHPs, wind, or biomass of a certain size.

Once a customer has opted for the Free Market, it may only return to the regulated system after giving its regional distributor five years’ notice. The distributor may reduce this term at its discretion. The aim of the extended notice period is to ensure that, if necessary, the distributor is able to purchase additional energy to supply the re-entry of free customers into the Regulated Market. Moreover, distributors may also reduce the amount of energy purchased according to the volume of energy that they will no longer distribute to free customers. State-owned generators may also sell energy to free customers, but unlike private-sector generators, they are obliged to do so through an auction process.

 

Restricted Activities for Distribution companies

Distribution companies in the Brazilian Interconnected Grid (Sistema Interligado Nacional, or ‘SIN’) are not permitted to: (1) operate in the business of the generation or transmission of energy; (2) sell energy to free customers, except for those in their concession area and under the same conditions and rates as regulated customers in the Regulated Market; (3) directly or indirectly hold any interest in any other company, except entities incorporated for raising, investment and management of funds necessary for the distributor (or its parent company or related companies or partnerships); or (4) engage in activities that are unrelated to their respective concessions, except for those permitted by law or in the concession agreement.

Contracts Executed Prior to the New Industry Model Law

Under the New Industry Model Law, contracts executed by distributors and approved by ANEEL before the enactment of that law will not be amended to reflect any extension of their terms or change in prices or volumes of energy already contracted.

 

Limitations on Pass-Through

The New Industry Model also limits the pass-through of costs of energy to final customers. The Annual Reference Value corresponds to the weighted average of the energy prices in ‘A - 5’ and ‘A - 3’ auctions, calculated for all distributors, and creates an incentive for distributors to contract for their expected energy demands in the A - 5 auctions, where prices are expected to be lower than in A - 3 auctions. The Annual Reference Value is applied in the first three years of power purchase agreements from new power generation projects. After the fourth year, the energy acquisition costs from these projects will be allowed to be passed through in full. Decree No. 5,163/04 establishes the following limitations on the ability of distributors to pass through costs to customers:

·No pass-through of costs for energy purchases that exceed 105% of regulatory demand;
·Limited pass-through of costs for energy purchases made in an A–3 auction, if the volume of the acquired energy exceeds 2.0% of the demand found in A–5 auctions;
·Limited pass-through of energy acquisition costs from new energy generation projects if the volume re-contracted through CCEARs of existing generation facilities is below a ‘Contracting Limit’ defined by Decree No. 5,163;
·Energy purchases from existing facilities in the ‘A - 1’ auctions are limited to 0.5% of distributors’ demand, frustrated purchases in previous A - 1 auctions, involuntary exposure to regulated customer demand, plus the ‘replacement’, defined as the amount of energy needed to replace the power from power purchase agreements that expire in the current year (A - 1), according to ANEEL Resolution No. 450/2011. If the acquired energy in the A - 1 auction exceeds the limit, the pass-through to final customers of costs of the excess portion is limited to 70.0% of the average value of such acquisition costs of energy generated by existing generation facilities. MME will establish the maximum acquisition price for energy generated by existing projects;
·Energy purchases in ‘market adjustment’ auctions are limited to 5.0% of a distribution concession holder’s total demand (the previous limit, modified by Decree 8,379/14, was 1.0%, except for 2008 and 2009) and pass-through of costs is limited to Annual Reference Value;
·If distributors fail to comply with the obligation to fully contract their demand, the pass-through of the costs from energy acquired in the short-term market will be the equivalent to the lower of the PLD or the Annual Reference Value.

 

Rationing under the New Industry Model Law

The New Industry Model Law establishes that, in a situation in which the Federal Government decrees a compulsory reduction in the consumption of energy in a certain region, all energy quantity agreements in the regulated market, registered within the CCEE in which the buyer is located, shall have their volumes adjusted in the same proportion to the required reduction of consumption.

 

Rates

Electric energy rates in Brazil are set by ANEEL, which has the authority to adjust and review rates in accordance with applicable concession contracts and regulations. Each distribution company’s concession contract provides for an annual rate. In general, ‘Parcel A costs’ are fully passed through to customers. ‘Parcel A costs’ are the portion of the rate calculation formula which provides for the recovery of certain costs that are not within the control of the distribution company. ‘Parcel B costs’, which are costs that are under the control of the distributors, are adjusted for inflation in accordance with IPCA index. The average annual rate adjustment includes components such as the inter-year variation of Parcel A costs (‘CVA’) and other financial adjustments, which compensate for changes in the company’s costs, upward or downward, that could not be previously taken into account in the rate charged in the previous period.

Distribution concessionaires are also entitled to periodic reviews. Our concession agreements establish a five-year period between periodic reviews. These reviews mainly aim: (i) to ensure necessary revenues to cover efficient operating costs, determined by the regulator, and adequate return for investments deemed essential for the services within the scope of each company’s concession; and (ii) to determine the ‘X factor’, which is calculated based on the average productivity gains from increases in scale. The X factor is a result of three components: a productivity factor representing those productivity gains (Xpd); the quality factor XQ, which punishes or rewards the distribution company depending on the quality of the service provided, and the factor Xt, which has the objective of reducing or increasing the regulatory operating costs during the five-year period between the rates reviews, to reach the level defined for the efficient operating cost determined by the regulator.

In 2011, ANEEL concluded the Public Hearing No. 040/2010, in which it dealt with the methodology for the third periodic review. To calculate the rate of return, ANEEL used the methodology of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘WACC’), which resulted in a yearly rate of 7.50% after tax, compared to the rate of 11.25% applied in the previous cycle. This rate of return was applicable to the investments made by CEMIG D until the next tariff cycle, which was conducted in 2018. After that, the new rate of return calculated by the grantor is 8.09% after tax.

ANEEL also changed the methodology used to calculate the X Factor: from a method based on discounted cash flow to the Total Factor Productivity (‘TFP’) method, which consists of defining potential productivity gains for each company based on average productivity gains in the later years. It also included the other two components, as mentioned above: XQ and Xt. The components of the X factor, determined in the 2018 review, for the period 2018/2023, were: Xt = -1.33%, which is applicable on each annual readjustment, Xpd and XQ which are defined ex-post and added to the previous value based, respectively, on the productivity gains from the last year and from changes in the quality of services provided.

ANEEL has also issued regulations governing access to the distribution and transmission facilities and establishing TUSD and the TUST. The rates to be paid by distribution companies, generators, and free customers for use of the interconnected power system are reviewed annually. The review of the TUST takes into account the RAP of transmission concessionaires under their concession contracts. For more detailed information on the rate-setting structure, see ‘Rates for the Use of the Distribution and Transmission Systems.’

In 2015, ANEEL created an additional fee that would be passed on to customers through their energy bills. This system is known as ‘tariff flags.’ The system provides customers with a system disclosing the Real costs of energy generation. The system is a simple one: the colors of flags (green, yellow or red) indicate whether, based on the conditions of energy generation, the cost of energy to customers will increase or decrease. When the system provides a green flag, the hydrological conditions for power generation are favorable and there should be no additional fee included in the customers’ rate. If the conditions are somewhat less favorable, the system will indicate a yellow flag and there will be additional charges proportional to consumption. If conditions are even less favorable, the system will indicate a red flag, which has two levels.

In 2019, the additional charges remain the same as 2018 until July when the additional charges corresponding to each flag were adjusted as follows: the yellow flag was set to R$ 1.50 per 100 kWh, the red flag level 1 was set to R$ 4.00 per 100 kWh and the red flag level 2 was set to R$ 6.00 per 100 kWh. Those additional charges were adjusted again on November 1st when the additional charges corresponding to each flag were adjusted as follows: the yellow flag was set to R$1,343 per 100 kWh, the red flag level 1 was set to R$4,169 per 100 kWh and the red flag level 2 was set to R$6,243 per 100 kWh. During 2020, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the tariff flags were suspended from June/2020 until November/2020 (ANEEL’s dispatch nº 1,511/2020). ANEEL’s Dispatch nº 3,364/2020 restored the tariff flags in December/2020 there was a red flag level 2 in December, a yellow flag in January and a green flag in all other months.

In June 2021, those additional charges were adjusted in accordance with each flag as follows: the yellow flag was set to R$ 1,874 per 100 kWh, the red flag level 1 was set to R$ 3,971 per 100 kWh and the red flag level 2 was set to R$ 9,492 per 100 kWh. In August 2021, the Câmara de Regras Excepcionais para Gestão Hidroenergética (“CREG”) created the water scarcity flag, set to R$ 14.20 per 100 kWh.

 

Acquisition of land

The concessions granted to CEMIG by the Federal Government assign to the concessionaire the acquisition of the lands in which the plants and substations will be implanted. Energy companies in Brazil must negotiate with each property owner to obtain the land needed for the implementation of the entity. However, in the event that a concessionaire is unable to obtain the necessary land amicably, these lands may be acquired for use by the concessionaire through specific legislation. In cases of acquisition, through legal proceedings, the concessionaires may have to participate in negotiations regarding the value of compensation to owners and the resettlement of communities in legal proceedings. The Company makes every effort to negotiate with the owners and affected communities before taking legal action.

 

The Brazilian Electric Power System – Operational Overview

Brazil’s energy production and transmission is a large-scale hydroelectric and thermal system made up predominantly of hydroelectric power stations, with many separate owners. The Brazilian Interconnected Grid connects companies in the Southern, Southeastern, Center-West, and Northeastern Regions and part of the Northern Region of Brazil. Approximately 1% of the country’s energy production capacity is not connected to the Brazilian Grid, in small isolated systems located mainly in the Amazon region. Brazil’s abundant hydrological resources are managed through storage reservoirs. It is estimated that Brazil has hydroelectric power generation potential of close to 246,241 MW, of which only 44% has been developed or is under construction, according to Eletrobrás studies compiled in December 2018.

Source: Banco de Informações de Geração (SIGA ANEEL – 06/04/2022)

 

By April 2022, Brazil had an installed capacity in the interconnected power system of 184.53 GW, approximately 59% of which is hydroelectric, according to the ‘Matriz de Energia Elétrica’ (Eletric Power Matrix) available at the Sistemas de Informação de Geração – ‘SIGA’, published by ANEEL. This installed capacity includes half of the installed capacity of Itaipu – a total of 14,000 MW owned equally by Brazil and Paraguay.

Eletrobrás, a company owned by the Federal Government, operate approximately 28% of Brazil’s installed generating capacity and 49% of Brazil’s high voltage transmission lines. Eletrobrás has historically been responsible for implementing energy policy, and conservation and environmental management programs. State-controlled or local electric power companies own the remaining high-voltage transmission lines. Distribution is conducted by approximately 60 state or local utilities, a majority of which has been privatized by the Federal Government or state governments.

 

Historical Background

The Brazilian Constitution provides that the development, use and sale of energy may be undertaken directly by the Brazilian Federal Government or indirectly through the granting of concessions, permissions, or authorizations. Since 1995, the Brazilian Federal Government has taken a number of measures to restructure the power industry. In general, these have aimed to increase the role of private investment and eliminate restrictions on foreign investment, thus increasing overall competition in the power industry.

In particular, the Brazilian Federal Government has taken the following measures:

·The Brazilian Constitution was amended in 1995 to authorize foreign investment in power generation. Prior to this amendment, all generation concessions were held either by a Brazilian individual, or by an entity controlled by Brazilian individuals, or by the Brazilian Federal Government or a state government;
·The Federal Government enacted Law No.8,987 on February 13, 1995, or the Concessions Law, and Law No.9,074 on July 7, 1995, or the Power Concessions Law, that together:
orequired that all concessions for the provision of energy-related services be granted through public bidding processes;
ogradually allowed certain energy customers with significant demand (generally greater than 3 MW), referred to as free customers, to purchase energy directly from suppliers holding a concession, permission or authorization;
oprovided for the creation of generation entities, or Independent Power Producers, which, by means of a concession, permission or authorization, may generate and sell all or part of their energy to free customers, distribution concessionaires and trading agents, among others;
ogranted free customers and energy suppliers open access to the distribution and transmission grids;
oeliminated the need for a concession to construct and operate power projects with capacity from 1 MW to 30 MW, or Small Hydroelectric plants, (SHPs), which was amended on May 28, 2009 by Law No. 11,943 and further by Law No. 13,360/16, raising the limit from 30 MW to 50 MW, regardless of being characterized as an SHP or not;

 

The current grantor, ANEEL, and the Conselho Nacional de Política Energética (National Energy Policy Council, or ‘CNPE’), were created in 1997.

 

In 1998, the Federal Government enacted Law No. 9,648 (‘Power Industry Law’), to overhaul the basic structure of the energy industry, providing as follows:

·Establishment of a self-regulated body responsible for operation of the short-term energy market, or Wholesale Energy Market, replacing the prior system of regulated generation prices and supply contracts;
·Creation of the ONS a non-profit, private entity responsible for the operational management of the generation and transmission activities of the interconnected power system;
·Establishment of public bidding processes for concessions for construction and operation of power plants and transmission facilities, in addition to the bidding process requirements under the Concessions Law and the Power Concessions Law, On March 15, 2004, the Brazilian Federal Government enacted Law No. 10,848, (or the ‘New Industry Model Law’), in an effort to further restructure the power industry, with the ultimate goal of providing customers with security of supply combined with fair rates. On July 30, 2004, the Brazilian Federal Government published Decree No. 5,163, governing trading rules under the New Industry Model Law, as well as the granting of authorizations and concessions for energy generation projects. These include rules relating to auction procedures, the form of power purchase agreements and the method of passing costs through to final customers.

On September 12, 2013, the Brazilian Federal Government issued Provisional Measure No. 579, enacted as Law No. 12,783, related to the extension of the concessions granted prior to Law 9,074, aiming to decrease the sector’s charges and achieving tariffs that are more reasonable. This legislation changed the rules applicable to certain concessions, and implemented new bidding process rules utilities, and adjustments to tariffs.

On August 18, 2015, the Brazilian Federal Government published Provisional Act No. 688, which was converted into Law No. 13,203, on December 8, 2015, which created the mechanism of voluntary re-negotiation of hydrological risks affecting the hydroelectric generation companies. In the same law, the government changed the bidding process rules concessions too.

On June 22, 2016, the Brazilian Federal Government issued Provisional Act No. 735, which was converted into Law No. 13,360, enacted on November 17, 2016, which, among other measures, altered Chapter III of Law 12,783, governing competitive bids for energy generation, transmission and distribution concessions, and related services.

On July 2017, the MME organized two public consultation proceedings with the purpose of gathering contributions from sectorial agents to improve the national electric energy sector and update its regulatory framework.

On February 9, 2018, the MME submitted for analysis by the Brazilian President a draft bill including several proposed changes to the industry regulation. Among other issues addressed by the MME in the draft of the bill, we highlight:

·Divestment of hydro power plants. In case of divestment of hydro power plants, the new concession would be granted by means of payment of compensation to the government and it would not be subject to the quota regime established by Law No. 12,783/2013 (for generation concessions renewed in accordance with Law No. 12,783/2013, the energy produced by the power plant must be sold to all distributors in Brazil according to a quota system);
·Expansion of the free market. The consumption requirement for the characterization of free customers would be reduced. Currently, free customers must have an energy load of 3MW. Between 2020 and 2024, the load criteria qualifying the free customer would vary from 2 MW to 300kW. By 2026, there would not be a minimum energy load required, as long as the free customer is connected to tension equal or higher than 2,3kV;
·Incentives for renewable energy. MME’s proposal tends to reduce incentives granted to renewable energies through discount over connection tariffs. Such discount may be subject to certain conditions;
·Hydrological risk. The hydrological risk of differences in power production due to a hydrological scenario would exclude: (i) generation in disregard of the merit order which means dispatching energy to the grid in disregard of the ascending price raking for energy generation, (ii) anticipation of delivery of firm energy to the system of relevant power plants, and (iii) restriction to the supply of energy to the grid due to delay in the transmission system; and
·Separation between energy consumption and firm energy. A timeline for implementation of the legislative model that separates the charges for firm energy added to the grid and energy consumption.

Furthermore, it is under analysis in Congress the Bill of Law no. 622/2015, which establishes a deadline, defined in 2017, for the application of discounts not lower than 50% in tariffs for use of the transmission and distribution systems (TUST and TUSD) for projects using alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and qualified cogeneration, as stated in Article 26 and paragraphs of Law 9,427/1996. In its status, the bill states that such discounts will stay valid for current grants, even if extended, and for future grants up to December 31, 2027. The bill also imposes on the Federal Government the obligation to create a market mechanism to encourage investments in low-carbon energy sources, to be implemented on January 1, 2027.Currently, Bill of Law no. 622/2015 is in the Infrastructural Services Commission, awaiting appointment of a rapporteur.

The publication of Law 14,052/2020 and Resolution 895/2020, proposed the reimbursement of agents holding the concession of hydraulic plants in the MRE of the effects: (i) generation in disregard of the merit order which means dispatching energy to the grid in disregard of the ascending price ranking for energy generation, (ii) anticipation of delivery of firm energy to the system of relevant power plants, and (iii) restriction to the supply of energy to the grid due to delay in the transmission system. These effects will be calculated retroactively from 2012 to 2020, updated and remunerated at the ANEEL rate of 9.63%. The amount will then be paid through extension of the plants’ concession. With this new agreement, injunctions are expected to be withdrawn and market deficits to be settled. In this way, the liquidity of the market in the short term and the default in the CCEE should return to their historical values.

 

Rationing and Extraordinary Rate Increases

Conflicts of interest between CEMIG and other users of water

The operation of reservoirs for generation of energy by CEMIG requires it to assess the multiple uses of water by other users of the relevant river basin, and this in turn requires it to consider the applicability of a number of factors, including environmental factors, irrigation, waterways and bridges. In periods of severe drought, such as the one beginning in 2013, CEMIG was actively involved in monitoring and forecasting the levels of reservoirs and in maintaining a dialogue with public authorities, civil society and users. While CEMIG engages other essential users and takes into account societal interests with respect to its water use, competing interests with respect to the use of water could, subject to certain minimum limits established by law, affect the use of water in our operations, which in turn could affect our operating results or financial condition. Potential conflicts between CEMIG and other users are monitored through CEMIG’s active participation in River Basin Committees, and also in the related Technical Boards and Working Groups, where users of water, organized civil society and public authorities are represented. CEMIG participates in 5 River Basin Committees of rivers under federal control, and 20 River Basin Committees of rivers under local State control. CEMIG also monitors news published in various media outlets, receives comments and complaints during the periods of floods or drought, and acts to resolve any conflicts with communities living in the river basins where it has hydroelectric plants.

For new projects, CEMIG prepares a socio-environmental impact study, and carries out public hearings with all interested parties, where suggestions in assessing any potential conflicts are analyzed. When the project is operational, a Plan for Environmental Conservation and Use of the Artificial Reservoir Surroundings (‘Plano Ambiental de Conservação e Uso do Entorno de Reservatório Artificial’) is prepared with the participation of stakeholders. This plan is intended to govern conservation, recovery, use and environmental protection of the reservoir and its surrounding area in a balanced way, complying with the applicable legislation, the needs of the project and the demands of society.

CEMIG also conducts a program called Proximidade (‘Proximity’), which coordinates activities aimed at improving the relationship with affected communities. Through this program, CEMIG hosts public meetings that cover topics such as the operational and security procedures in its hydroelectric plants; climate conditions; and environmental aspects. CEMIG also provides opportunities for the public to take guided tours of plant facilities. By means of the Proximidade program, CEMIG also receives comments and complaints from the affected population and establishes partnerships with local community leaders, public entities, the local media and other actors responsible for safety and flood, including Civil Defense associations, the Fire Brigade and the Military Police.

Finally, CEMIG uses a risk management system to analyze scenarios and estimate the degree of financial exposure to risks, considering the probability of each event, and its impact. In the scenarios related to potential conflicts with other users, CEMIG also evaluates the effects arising from prolonged droughts, which may lead to an increase in competition for water between the energy sector and other users, and the risks arising from consequences of floods due to excessive rain.

 

Concessions

We conduct the majority of our activities in generation, transmission and distribution of energy through concession contracts executed with the Brazilian Federal Government. The Brazilian Constitution requires that all concessions for public services must be subject to competitive tenders. In 1995, in an effort to implement these provisions of the Constitution, the Federal Government instituted certain laws and regulations, referred to collectively as the Concessions Law, which governs the procedures for competitive tenders in the energy sector.

 

Transmission:

On December 4, 2012, CEMIG signed the second amendment to transmission contract Nº 006/97, which extended the concessions under such contract for 30 years, in accordance with PA 579, beginning on January 1, 2013. This resulted in an adjustment to the RAP from these concessions, reducing the revenue from those concessions. The Brazilian Federal Government has compensated us for the reduction of the RAP in part, but we have not yet been compensated for the assets in operation before 2000. In accordance with Law No. 12,783, we are required to be compensated for the reduction of the RAP of the assets in operation before 2000, over a period of 30 years, the amounts being adjusted by the IPCA inflation index. This compensation was addressed by Mining and Energy Ministry Order No. 120/16, which determined that recognition of the amounts owed would take place as from the tariff adjustment process of 2017.

The amounts payable of the indemnities corresponding to the portions of investments linked to revertible goods not amortized or depreciated, recognized by MME in Ministerial Order 291/2017, were impugned in the administrative sphere (still awaiting decision – a hierarchy appeal), and, in the judiciary. CEMIG GT applied for a Prior Provisional Decision, on November 27, 2016, with the objective of obtaining an order for the Federal Government to exhibit the documentation that supported its calculation of the indemnity for reversion of the assets of Jaguara, Miranda, São Simão and Volta Grande hydroelectric plants. The Federal Government immediately deposit the non-contested portion of the indemnity, which had been set at R$1,028 million. In this case, the application for interim decision was refused and CEMIG GT filed an Interlocutory Appeal (currently pending judgment). Additionally, on January 17, 2018, CEMIG amended the writ: (i) to reiterate the need for exhibition of documents; (ii) applying for declaration of nullity of Article 1, §1 and 2, and Article 2, of Mining and Energy Ministry Order 291/2017, and consequent payment of indemnity to include all the investments made by CEMIG GT in the concessions referred to; and (iii) requesting immediate payment of the non-contested amount.

 

Generation contracts:

In the years 2014 and 2015, Brazil experienced a severe drought culminating in further alterations to the regulatory framework, established by Provisional Act No. 688/15 and later converted into Law No. 13,203/15. This law, among other measures, significantly altered Law No. 12,783/13, creating a mechanism of voluntary renegotiation of hydrological risks, since they affect the hydroelectric generation companies, and changing the rules for bidding for certain hydroelectric generation concessions. Subsequently, in 2016, other changes were introduced to the sector by Provisional Act No. 735/16, enacted as Law No. 13,360/16, which, among other measures, changed Chapter III of Law No. 12,783/13, which relates to bidding for energy generation, transmission, and distribution concessions.

Following publication of the tender documents for Generation Auction No. 12/15 on October 7, 2015, which included the new regulatory provisions for renewal of concessions of existing plants stipulated by Law No. 13,203/15, CEMIG’s Board of Directors authorized our participation in Generation Auction No. 12/2015, and CEMIG GT was successful at this auction, held at the B3 on November 25, 2015. CEMIG won concessions for Lot ’D’ – which comprises the concessions for 18 hydroelectric plants: Três Marias, Salto Grande, Itutinga, Camargos, Cajuru, Gafanhoto, Martins, Marmelos, Joasal, Paciência, Piau, Coronel Domiciano, Tronqueiras, Peti, Dona Rita, Sinceridade, Neblina and Ervália. The total installed capacity of these plants is 699.5 MW, and their guaranteed basic offtake is 420.2 MW average.

These concession contracts have a period of 30 years beginning in January 2016 and expiring in January 2046 and, during the first half of 2016, were assigned by CEMIG GT to 7 wholly owned subsidiaries created for commercial operation of these concessions (CEMIG Geração Camargos, CEMIG Geração Itutinga, CEMIG Geração Três Marias, CEMIG Geração Volta Grande, CEMIG Geração Leste, CEMIG Geração Oeste and CEMIG Geração Sul).

On September 9, 2020, the Law 14,052 was issued, changing the Law 13,203/2015, and establishing new conditions for renegotiation of hydrological risk in relation to the portion of costs incurred due to the GSF, borne by the holders of hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE between 2012 and 2017, when there was a serious crisis in water sources.

 

The aim of this new law is to compensate the holders of hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE for non-hydrological risks caused by:

(i)Generation ventures classified as structural, related to bringing forward of physical guarantee of the plants;
(ii)The restrictions on start of operation of the transmission facilities necessary for outflow of the generation output of structural projects; and
(iii)Generation outside the merit order system, and importation.

 

This compensation will take the form, of extension of the grant of concession or authorization to operate, limited to 7 years, calculated based on the parameters applied by ANEEL.

On December 1, 2020, ANEEL issued its Normative Resolution 895, which established the methodology for calculation of the compensation, and the procedures for renegotiation of hydrological risk. To be eligible for the compensations under Law 14,052, the holders of hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE are required to:

(i)Cease any legal actions which claimed exemption from, or mitigation of hydrological risks related to the MRE;
(ii)Relinquish any claims and/or further legal actions in relation to exemptions from or mitigation of hydrological risks related to the MRE; and
(iii)Not to have renegotiated hydrological risk under Law 13,203/2015.

 

On March 2, 2021 the CCEE sent to ANEEL the calculations for the concessions extensions in the Free Market (ACL) that have opted to accept the conditions proposed by ANEEL Normative Resolution 895/2020 and Law 14,052/2020. The Company’s management is awaiting ratification and publication by ANEEL of its extensions of the concession grants, for subsequent submission to the Company’s governance bodies for approval. Thus, no impact arising from this subject has been recorded in the financial statements on December 31, 2020.

Based on the Resolutions 2,919/2021 and 2,932/2021, released by ANEEL the Company’s plants were granted the right to the following periods of extension:

Power plant  Assured Energy
(average MW)
 

Concession extension
(days)

Emborcação  500  672
Nova Ponte  270  750
Sá Carvalho  56  635

Others (1)  399  -
 
(1)Includes 11 power plants, of which 7 are owned by CEMIG GT, 1 is owned by CEMIG PCH and 3 are owned by Horizontes. The average concession extension in months varies between 1 and 84 months.

 

With the approval of Law No.14,120/2021, the Resolution No. 2,919/2021 also assured the right of reimbursement for the generation plants of Lot D. Their concession extension reached the maximum allowed (seven years / 2,555 days).

 

Distribution contracts:

In relation to the extension of the distribution concession contracts, CEMIG D, in accordance with Law No. 12,783/2013, Decree No. 7,805/2012 and Decree No. 8,461/2015, indicated acceptance of the extension of its concession contracts, and signed the Fifth Amendment to its Concession Contract in December 2015. This amendment guarantees extension of the foregoing concessions for an additional 30 years, from January 1, 2016 until January 2, 2046. The new amendment also requires CEMIG’s compliance with more stringent rules regarding service quality and with respect to CEMIG’s economic and financial sustainability, which must be met during the full 30 years of the concession.

Such compliance will be annually assessed by ANEEL, and if there is non-compliance, the concessionaire may be obliged to arrange for capital contributions by its controlling shareholders. Non-compliance for two consecutive years, or for five non-consecutive years, will result in forfeiture of the concession.

 

Regulatory Charges

Global Reversion Fund and Public Use Fund – RGR and UBP

In certain circumstances, power companies are compensated for assets used in connection with a concession if this concession is eventually revoked or is not renewed. In 1971, the Brazilian Congress created a Global Reversion Fund (Reserva Global de Reversão, or ‘RGR’), designed to provide funds for such compensation. In February 1999, ANEEL revised the assessment of a fee requiring all distributors, transmission companies and certain generators operating under public service regimes to make monthly contributions to the RGR at an annual rate equal to 2.5% of the company’s fixed assets in service, but not to exceed 3.0% of total operating revenues in any year. In recent years, the RGR has been used mainly to finance generation and distribution projects.

The Brazilian Federal Government has imposed a fee on IPPs reliant on hydrological resources, except for SHPs and generators under the public services regime, similar to the fee levied on public-industry companies in connection with the RGR. IPPs are required to contribute to the Public Use Fund (Fundo de Uso de Bem Público, or ‘UBP’), according to the rules of the corresponding public bidding process for the granting of concessions. Until December 31, 2002, Eletrobrás received the UBP payments. Since then, they have been paid directly to the Brazilian Federal Government.

 
107 
Table of Contents 
 

Since January 2013, the Global Reversion Fund has not been charged to: (i) any distributors; (ii) any transmission or generation utilities whose concessions have been extended under Law No. 12,783; or (iii) any transmission utilities that started their bidding procedure on or after September 12, 2012.

 

Fuel Consumption Account – CCC

The Fuel Consumption Account (Conta de Consumo de Combustível, or ‘CCC’), was created in 1973 to generate financial reserves to cover the high costs associated with the use of thermoelectric energy plants, especially in the Northern Region of Brazil, due to the higher operating costs of thermoelectric plants compared to hydroelectric plants. All energy companies were required to contribute annually to the CCC. Annual contributions were calculated based on estimates of the cost of fuel needed by the thermoelectric energy plants in the following year. The CCC was then used to reimburse generators operating thermoelectric plants for a substantial portion of their fuel costs. Starting in 2013, CCC's expenditures are included in the annual budget of the CDE. Eletrobrás managed the CCC and, as of May 2017, it has been managed by CCEE pursuant to Law No. 13,360/2016.

 

Charge for the Use of Water Resources

With the exception of Small Hydroelectric Plants, all hydroelectric utilities in Brazil must pay fees to Brazilian states and municipalities for the use of hydrological resources. The amounts are based on the amount of energy generated by each utility and are paid to the states and municipalities where the plant or the plant’s reservoir is located.

 

Energy Development Account – CDE

In 2002, the Brazilian Federal Government created the CDE to be in effect for 25 years, funded by: (i) annual payments made by concessionaires for the use of public assets; (ii) penalties and fines imposed by ANEEL; and (iii) since 2003, the annual fees to be paid by agents offering energy to final customers, by means of a charge to be added to the rates for the use of the transmission and distribution system. The amounts are adjusted annually. The CDE was created to support: (1) development of energy production throughout the country; (2) production of energy from alternative sources; and (3) universalization of energy services throughout Brazil. With the enactment of Law No. 12,783/2013, these fees were used to contribute to reduction of energy rates. The CDE is managed by CCEE.

Under the New Industry Model Law, failure to pay the contribution to the RGR, the PROINFA Program, the CDE or any payments for purchases of energy in the regulated market prevents the defaulting party from receiving a rate readjustment (except for an extraordinary review), or receiving resources arising from the RGR or CDE.

 

ANEEL Inspection Charge – TFSEE

The Energy Services Inspection Charge is an annual tax charged by ANEEL for its administrative and operating costs. It is calculated according to the Tariff Regulation Procedure (Procedimento de Regulação Tarifária, or ‘Proret’) – (Subsection 5.5: Energy Services Inspection Charge) based on the type of service provided (including independent production), and is proportional to the size of the concession, permission or authorization. It is limited to 0.4% of the annual economic benefit, considering the installed capacity, earned by the concessionaire, permit holder or authorized party, and must be paid directly to ANEEL in 12 monthly installments.

The Regulated Market Account

Contracts held by distributors for a total supply of approximately 8,600 MW expired in December 2012. These contracts had been executed in the first auctions of energy from existing supply sources in 2005, and the energy should have been re-contracted in a further auction, but the Brazilian Federal Government did not hold the auction in 2012, because it expected that, with the renewal of the concession contracts this supply would come from Assured Energy Quota Contracts. However, the energy supply that was renewed was lower than expected and the distributors were under-contracted by 2,000 MW in 2014 and by 2,500 MW in 2015. By 2016, the decrease of consumption of energy resulted in a balance between the power purchase agreements and the demand from distributors. The Regulated Market Account was established in 2014 to cover the exposure that distributors could have as a result of under-contracted amounts. By 2015, the lower consumption of energy eliminated the under-contracted shortfall and resulted in a more regular contracting level. Thus, the Regulated Market Account was not needed to cover the exposure of distributors during 2015.

This situation was further exacerbated by the fact that certain power plants started operation when expected, and by the low level of contracting in the auctions held in 2013 and 2014. The result was that the total level of under contracting in 2014 was 3,500 MW. In this scenario the only option for the distributors, in a situation of under contracting, was to purchase the required supply in the spot market.

The hydrological situation of the system in 2013 and 2014, as explained above, raised the energy cost in the spot market to its highest level, causing the financial exposure of the distributors to reach billions of Reais. Since the cost of the distributors’ exposure is passed through to customers only in the following year, this gap caused a problem in the companies’ cash flow. By 2015, the new price cap was lower than in 2014 and the ‘tariff flags’ mechanism helped the distributors to balance their exposure so no new loan was necessary.

To deal with this, the government created the Regulated Market Account, by Decree No. 8,221/14 enacted on January 1, 2014, regulated by ANEEL Resolution No. 612/04, which created an account to be managed by the CCEE, aiming to cover part or all the costs resulting from the involuntary exposure to the spot market and of the dispatching of the thermal plants related to the availability contracts in the regulated market. To cover these costs, CCEE obtained a financing from a group of private and public institutions. These funds were then passed to the distributors, as determined by Decree Nº 8,221/14 and ANEEL Resolution No. 612/2014. In 2014 and 2015, R$21 billion was raised by this account and passed through to the distributors.

The ANEEL Resolution No. 1,863/15 defined the charges to be applied on the energy customers and the Resolution No. 2004/2015 later updated those charges. These loans were charged by means of the payment through CDE and were inserted in the energy rates after the Annual Tariff Adjustment of each distribution company proportionally to their captive markets. Initially CEMIG D had 59 months to pay the loan, and in December 2015, that period was updated to 47 months.

 

Energy Reallocation Mechanism

The Energy Reallocation Mechanism (Mecanismo de Realocação de Energia, or ‘MRE’), attempts to mitigate the risks involved in the generation of hydroelectric power by mandating that all hydroelectric power generators share the hydrological risks within the Brazilian grid. Under Brazilian law, the revenue from sales by generators does not depend on the amount of energy they in fact generate, but on the ‘Guaranteed Energy’ or ‘Assured Energy’ of each plant, indicated in each concession agreement.

Any imbalances between the power generated and the Assured Energy is covered by the MRE. In other words, the MRE reallocates the energy, transferring a surplus from those who generated in excess of their Assured Energy to those who generated less than their Assured Energy. The volume of energy generated by the plant, either more or less than the Assured Energy, is priced pursuant to an ‘Energy Optimization Rate,’ which covers the operation and maintenance costs of the plant. This additional revenue or expense is accounted for on a monthly basis by each generator.

The MRE is efficient in mitigating the risks of individual plants that have adverse hydrological conditions in a river basin, but it does not succeed in mitigating this risk when low hydrological levels affect the whole grid, or large regions of it. In extreme situations, even with the MRE, the aggregate generation of the whole system will not attain the levels of the total Assured Energy, and hydrological generators may be exposed to the spot market. In these situations, the shortage in hydro resources will be compensated by greater use of thermal generation, and spot prices will be higher.

In 2014, Brazil was subject to very adverse hydrological conditions, which resulted in a lower level of hydroelectric generation, and on the full utilization of thermoelectric plants of the system, as noted above. This led the plants of the MRE to generate at levels below their physical guarantee levels, causing an exposure for the generation companies to the short-term market. The proportion of the exposure is calculated by the ratio between the energy generated by all the plants of the MRE and the total of all the physical guarantees. This ratio is called the Generation Scaling Factor (‘GSF’) (Fator de ajuste da energia). In 2014, the GSF was 0.91, which indicates that the generation companies had their physical guarantee reduced by 9% in that year. In 2015, this exposure continued to occur, despite of a slightly better hydrology, but with the continued thermal dispatch and lower energy consumption the GSF closed the year at 0.84.

During 2015, the low values of GSFs along with high spot prices again left producers of hydroelectric generation with high financial exposure. Thus, starting in March 2015, generators began to obtain court injunctions to prevent such exposure. Such injunctions claimed that the GSF’s calculation methodology was incorrect and that it caused undue exposure to producers. From March to September, there was an exponential increase in the number of injunctions issued, which led to a paralysis of the market. In order to address this situation, the Brazilian Federal Government proposed (by means of Provisional Act No. 688) the renegotiation of the hydrological risk, enabling generators with Free Market contracts to transfer the exposure to customers in exchange for a risk’s premium payment to be deposited in the so-called tariff band deposit account (the tariff band surcharges are deposited in such account and transferred to the distribution concessionaires) and would be indemnified for the losses suffered in 2015 by means of, among other measures, an extension of their power generation grants (concessions or authorizations, as the case may be) for up to 15 years. In other words, hydroelectric power plants would recover the costs incurred with GSF deficits retroactively to January 2015, and such recovery would form a ‘regulatory asset,’ which would be amortized over the term of the concession/authorization. If the remaining concession/authorization period is insufficient (i.e. not long enough to amortize the regulatory asset), generating companies would have a concession/authorization extension (limited to 15 years). To be able to use the mechanism the companies have to waive all claims filed and all injunctions obtained, as well as waive any further rights they would have in connection with any such legal action. This mechanism enabled plants with contracts signed in the regulated market and the free market to renegotiate them. However, the system and mechanism for renegotiating are different in the two markets. In both, this mechanism functions as a hedge, in which the generators bear the high cost of reserve of energy, and they receive the amount stipulated by the spot market price for their generation.

In the Free Market, the system did not have the same acceptance levels that were present in the regulated market, since the value of the risk premium was too high and, in order to hedge their GSF exposure, the generation companies would have to acquire reserve energy contracts. For these reasons and considering that there are other alternatives available in the free market to mitigate the hydrological risks, generation companies deemed the voluntary negotiation inefficient. Consequently, acceptance of the mechanism by the regulated market was, approximately 90%. However, it was not accepted by the free market.

In 2021, the average GSF stood at 0.77 still impacted by a hydrological condition below the historical average and lower reservoir levels. The chart below presents the average price and GSF for the periods shown:

 

Charges for Use of the Distribution and Transmission Systems

ANEEL oversees rate regulations that govern access to the distribution and transmission systems and establish rates: (i) TUSD and (ii) TUST. Additionally, distributors of the South, Southeast and Midwest parts of the grid pay specific charges for transmission of energy generated at Itaipu Hydro Plant. All these rates and charges are set by ANEEL. The following is a summary of each rate or charge:

 

TUSD

The TUSD is paid to a distribution company by generation companies, other distributors, and customers, for the use of the distribution system to which they are connected. It is adjusted annually according to an inflation index, the variation in transmission costs, and regulatory charges. This adjustment is passed to customers of the distribution network in the Annual Rate Adjustment or Reviews.

Law 9,427/96 defines the application of discounts not lower than 50% in tariffs for use of the distribution and transmission systems (TUSD and TUST) for projects using alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass and qualified cogeneration, as stated in his Article 26 and paragraphs.

 

TUST

The TUST is paid by generators, distributors, and free customers, for the use of the basic transmission grid to which they are connected. It is adjusted annually according to an inflation index and taking into account any adjustment to the annual revenue of the transmission companies. According to criteria established by ANEEL, owners of the different parts of the transmission grid were required to transfer the coordination of their facilities to the ONS in return for receiving regulated payments from the transmission system users. Generation and distributors, and free customers, also pay a fee for exclusive transmission connections to some transmission companies. The grantor sets the fee for a 12-month period and it is paid monthly through the issuance of invoices.

As mentioned above, this tariff may suffer changes regarding the application of discounts for generators using the low-carbon energy sources defined in Article 26 and paragraphs of Law 9,427/1996.

Distribution rates

Distribution rates are subject to review by ANEEL, which has the authority to adjust and review rates in response to changes in energy purchase costs, charges payments or transmissions payments, or other factors related to market conditions. ANEEL divides the costs of all distributors into: (1) costs that are beyond the control of the distributor, or ‘Parcel A’ costs; and (2) costs that are under the control of the distributor, or ‘Parcel B’ costs. The rate adjustment is based on a formula that takes into account the division of costs between the two categories.

 

Parcel A costs include, among others, the following:

·Regulatory Charges (CDE, TFSEE and PROINFA);
·Costs of energy purchased for resale (CCEARs, power from Itaipu, and bilateral agreements); and
·Transmission charges (National grid, the Transmission Frontier grid, transport of energy from Itaipu, use of network for connection to other transmission companies, use of networks of other distributors, and the ONS).

 

Parcel B costs are those that are within the utility’s control, and include:

·Return on investment;
·Taxes;
·Regulatory default;
·Depreciation costs; and
·Costs of operation of the distribution system.

 

In general, Parcel A costs are fully passed through to customers. Parcel B costs; however, are adjusted for inflation in accordance with the IPCA inflation index adjusted by the X Factor. Energy distributors, according to their concession contracts, are also entitled to periodic reviews. These reviews mainly aim: (i) to ensure necessary revenues to cover efficient Parcel B operating costs and adequate compensation for investments deemed essential for the services within the scope of each company’s concession; and (ii) to determine the X factor.

The X factor is used to adjust the proportion of the change in the IPCA index that is used in the annual adjustments and to share the company’s productivity gains with final customers.

In addition, distribution concessionaires are entitled to an extraordinary review of rates, on a case-by-case basis, in the event of unusual circumstances, to ensure their financial balance and compensate them for unpredictable costs, including taxes that significantly change their cost structure.

Item 5.Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related notes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, contained elsewhere in this annual report. See Item 18, “Financial Statements.” This discussion intends to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. It also discusses certain performance metrics that management uses to assess the Company's performance. Additionally, the discussion in this section provides information about the financial results of each of the Company's business segments in order to provide a better understanding of how each of those segments and its results of operations affect the financial position and results of operations of the Company as a whole. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Item 3. Key Information” or in other parts of this annual report.

The consolidated financial statements and the financial information discussed below have been prepared and presented in accordance the IFRS as issued by the IASB and presented in millions of Reais.

Basis of Preparation

Statement of compliance

Company’s management certifies that all relevant and material information in the consolidated financial statements is being disclosed, which is used by management in its administration of the Company.

As part of its normal operations, the Company receives written comments and/ or requests from local regulators (i.e. ANEEL and CVM) regarding some of the information reported by the Company on its quarterly and annual reports, as well as on its regulatory financial statements filled locally in Brazil. The Company responds to such requests timely and its management believes that these comments and/ or requests would not have a material impact on the current or previously issued consolidated financial statements.

On May 16, 2022, the Company’s Audit Committee authorized the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except in the case of certain financial instruments and assets held for sale, which are measured at fair value and fair value less costs to sell, in accordance with the standards applicable, as detailed in Note 31 and 32, respectively.

 

Functional currency and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Reais, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated.

 

Transactions in foreign currency were converted to Reais at the exchange rate as of the transaction date. Balances of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to Reais at the exchange rates at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement or translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recorded in finance income or finance expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

The main new accounting standards and interpretations

 

a)New accounting standards, interpretations or amendments of accounting standards, applied for the first time in 2021

The new accounting standards, interpretation or amendments of accounting standards, applied for the first time in 2021 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

b)Standards issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statement).

 

Use of estimates and judgments

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Uncertainties about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, using as a reference both historical experience and any significant change in scenarios that could affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Revisions in relation to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are reviewed, and in any future periods affected.

 
113 
Table of Contents 
 

The main estimates and judgments that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company are as follows:

·        Provision for expected credit losses of accounts receivable – Note 8 to the Financial Statements;

·        Deferred income tax and social contribution tax – Note 10 to the Financial Statements;

·        Financial assets and liabilities of the concession – Note 14 to the Financial Statements;

·        Concession contract assets – Note 15 to the Financial Statements;

·        Investments – Note 16 to the Financial Statements;

·        Property, plant and equipment (‘PP&E’) and useful life of assets – Note 17 to the Financial Statements;

·        Intangible assets and useful life of assets – Note 18 to the Financial Statements;

·        Leasing transaction – Note 19 to the Financial Statements;

·        Amounts to be refunded to customers – Note 21 to the Financial Statements;

·        Employee post-employment obligations –Note 24 to the Financial Statements;

·        Provisions – Note 25 to the Financial Statements;

·        Unbilled revenue – Note 27 to the Financial Statements;

·        Financial instruments measurement and fair value measurement – Note 31 to the Financial Statements;

·        Assets held for sale measurement – Note 32 to the Financial Statements.

 

The settlement of the transactions involving those estimates may result in amounts that are significantly different from those recorded in the consolidated financial statements due to the uncertainty inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its significant estimates at least annually.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements have been applied consistently to all the periods presented, except for the practices, which were applied prospectively as from 2021, in accordance with the standards and regulations previously described in this section. (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statement)

The main accounting policies relating to the Company´s present operations that require judgment and the use of specific valuation criteria are the following:

Table of Contents 
 

 

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss, depending on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them.

Fair value through profit or loss: this includes the concession financial assets related to energy and gas distribution segment infrastructure. The financial assets related to energy distribution infrastructure are measured at the expected New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de Reposição, or VNR), as defined in the concession agreement, which represent the fair value of the residual value of the infrastructure as of the balance sheet date. The financial assets related to gas distribution infrastructure are measured based on the fair value of the indemnity established in the concession contract. The Company recognizes a financial asset resulting from a concession contract when it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from, or under the direction of the grantor for the services of construction and maintenance of the infrastructure.

This category also includes cash equivalents, marketable securities not classified at amortized cost, derivative financial instruments and indemnities receivable from the generation assets.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term highly liquid deposits, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, maintained to carry out the Company’s short-term cash management.

The disclosures about the main assumptions used in fair value measurement are summarized in the respective notes.

 

Derivative financial instruments (Swap transactions and call spread): The Company maintains derivative instruments to manage its exposure to the risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (US dollar). Derivative instruments are recognized initially at their fair value and the related transaction costs are recognized in the Statement of income when they are incurred. After initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Derivative financial instruments (Put options) – The options to sell to Cemig GT units of the FIP Melbourne and FIP Malbec funds (‘the SAAG PUT’) were measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) method until the of exercise date of the options, that occurred in 2020.

Amortized cost: This includes accounts receivables from customers, traders and concession holders; restricted cash; escrow deposits in litigation; marketable securities with the intention of holding them until maturity and the terms of their contracts originate known cash flows that constitute exclusively payments of principal and interest; concession financial assets related to generation concession grant fee; accounts receivable from related parties; suppliers; loans and debentures; debt agreed with the pension fund (Forluz); concessions payable; the Minas Gerais State PRCT Tax Amnesty Program;; assets and liabilities related to the CVA account and Other financial components in tariff adjustments; the low-income subsidy; reimbursement of tariff subsidies; and other credits.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (EIR).

Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

 

Receivables from customers, traders and concession holders

Accounts receivable from customers, traders and concession holders are initially recognized at the sales value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. These receivables are stated including sales tax and net of withholding taxes, which are recognized as recoverable taxes.

Table of Contents 
 

In order to estimate future losses on receivables, the Company adopted a simplified approach, considered that the accounts receivable from customers do not have significant financial components, and calculated the expected loss considering the historical average of non-collection over the total billed in each month (based on the last 24 months of billing), segregated by type of customer and projected for the next 12 months, taking into account the age of maturity of invoices, including those not yet due and unbilled.

The expected losses for overdue accounts of customers that renegotiated their debt is measured based on the maturity date of the original invoice, despite the new terms negotiated. Expected losses are fully recognized for accounts overdue for more than 12 months.

Expected losses for invoices unbilled, not yet due or less than 12 months past due are measured according to the potential default events, or losses of credit expected for the whole life of a financial instrument, if the credit risk has significantly increased since its initial recognition.

For large customers, the provision for expected credit losses of accounts receivable based on estimates by Management, in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses. The main criteria used by the Company are: (i) customers with significant open balances, the receivable balance is analyzed based on the debt history, negotiations in progress, and asset guarantees; and (ii) for large customers, an individual analysis of the debtors and the initiatives in progress to realize the receivables.

The Annual Permitted Revenue (‘Receita Anual Permitida’ - RAP) is the consideration received as revenue from the investment in the national grid as well as the construction or upgrades, operation and maintenance services. The revenue from the energy transmission concession contracts is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied. The contract asset is transferred to the financial asset, falling within the scope of IFRS 9, after the issuance of the credit notice, monthly issued by ONS, authorizing RAP billing, which is when the right to consideration is unconditional. The revenue is recognized at the transaction price and the assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method, adjusted by impairment losses, when applicable, and recognizing the deferred taxes. As required by IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, the financial asset carrying amount is analyzed and, when applicable, a loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognized.

 

 

Concession assets

Energy and Gas Distribution segment: Concession infrastructure under constructions are initially recorded as contract assets, in accordance with IFRS 15 and IFRIC 12, considering that the Company is entitled to consideration for performance completed to date, and only when the construction phases ends, has the right to charge for the services provided to customers or receive an indemnity at the end of the concession period for assets not yet amortized. In accordance with IFRS 15 and IFRIC 12, construction revenues equivalent to new infrastructure are initially recorded as contract assets, measured at construction cost plus margin. Construction costs include borrowing costs. After the assets start operation, the conclusion of the performance obligation linked to construction is recorded, and the assets are split between financial assets and intangible assets.

The portion of the infrastructure to be amortized during the concession period is recorded as an intangible asset, as provided for in IFRIC 12 – Concession contracts, and subsequently measured at cost less amortization. The amortization rates reflect the expected pattern of their consumption and are measured based on the asset carrying amount using the straight-line method, using the rates based on the expected useful life of the assets that are used by the Grantor during the tariff review process.

The Company recognizes a financial asset for the residual value of the infrastructure at the end of the concession, representing an unconditional right to receive cash or another financial asset directly from the grantor. This portion is subsequently measured at the estimated fair value, which represents the New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de reposição, or VNR), based on the Regulatory Remuneration Base of Assets ratified by the grantor (‘ANEEL’) in the tariff review processes.

Table of Contents 
 

Transmission segment: When construction is finalized, concession infrastructure assets remains as contract asset, considering the existence of performance obligations during the concession period, represented by the network construction, operation and maintenance, as there is no unconditional right to receive the consideration for the construction service unless the company operates and maintains the infrastructure. The contract asset is reclassified as a financial asset (accounts receivable) only after the performance obligation to operate and maintain the infrastructure is satisfied, since from that point nothing more than the passage of time is necessary for the consideration to be received. The costs related to the infrastructure construction are recognized as incurred in the statement of income. The construction or upgrade services revenues are recognized in accordance with the stage of completion of the construction service, based on the costs actually incurred, including construction margin.

The margin added to the performance obligation related to the construction and improvements is based on Company’s expectations regarding its project’s profitability.

When adjusting the amount of consideration for the concession contract asset financing component, the Company uses the discount rate which reflects the Company’s estimation of the financing of the transmission infrastructure investments. This reflects the rate that discounts the nominal amount of the consideration to the price that the customer would pay in cash for the goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The interest rates implicit in the contract are defined at the beginning of the investments and take into account the credit risk of the counterparties.

When the tariff set is changed at the time of the periodic tariff reviews, the contract asset is remeasured, discounting the future revenue (RAPs) using the contract original discount rate, implicit in the contract. The amount remeasured is confronted to the carrying amount and the difference is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification (the adjustment to revenue is made on a cumulative catch-up basis).

Consideration monthly received is allocated to revenue related to the operation and maintenance service and to the collection of the contract asset related to the construction service based on their relative fair value. Costs of expansion and upgrades of the infrastructure are recorded as contract assets.

 

Financial portion of remuneration and depreciation unpaid since the extensions of concessions in accordance with Law 12,783/2013: corresponding to the portion of remuneration and depreciation unpaid from the date of the extension of the concessions until it was incorporated into the Assets Remuneration Base (January 1, 2013 until June 30, 2017), to be paid over a period of eight years through the RAP.

The amounts to be received are subject to the applicable regulatory rules in the tariff process, including the mechanisms that monitor and measure efficiency. In this new context, the unconditional right to consideration depends on the satisfaction of the performance obligation to operate and maintain, and is, thus, characterized as a contract asset. It is classified to financial assets only after an authorizing dispatch by ANEEL.

 

Generation segment: The concession fee right paid for the concession contracts granted by the Brazilian Grantor (ANEEL) in November 2015 are classified as a financial asset, at amortized cost, as it represents an unconditional right to receive cash, adjusted by the IPCA index, and remuneratory interest, during the period of the concession.

For the extension of the concession of the hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE, relating to the compensation for non-hydrological risks specified in Law No. 14,052/2020, an intangible asset was recognized, considering the nature of the right, which enables, by provision of law, the plants to be used for a period longer than the one specified in their original contracts. During the contract extension, the Company is entitled to sell the energy generated without constraint. The asset is measured at fair value at the initial recognition. The asset is amortized by the straight-line method for the new remaining period of the concession.

Impairment

In assessing impairment of financial assets, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recovery and the amounts of loss incurred, adjusted to reflect management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

Additionally, management revises, annually, the carrying amount of non-financial assets, for the purpose of assessing if there is any indication, such as events or changes in the economic, operational or technological conditions that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing of an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset´s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is defined as the higher between its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized, adjusting the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit to its recoverable amount.

 

Employee benefits

The liability recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position related the Company’s retirement benefit pension plan obligations, is the greater of: (a) the amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of the pension plan for amortization of the actuarial obligations, and (b) the present value of the actuarial obligation, as calculated by a qualified actuary, less the fair value of the plan’s assets, and adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.

Expenses related to the debt agreed upon with the pension trust fund were recorded in finance income (expenses), because they represent financial interest and inflation adjustment. Other expenses related to the pension fund were recorded as operating expenses.

Actuarial gains and losses arising as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not be reclassified as income statement in a subsequent period.

The past service cost – reflecting amendment (change or withdrawal) of the defined benefit plan, and the gain or loss on settlement of obligations, is determined by remeasurement of the net present value of the obligation, using the revised actuarial assumptions, and is recognized directly in the income statement for the year in which the change, withdrawal or settlement is made.

Short-term benefits to employees: Employees’ profit sharing as determined in the Company’s by-laws are recorded in accordance with the collective agreement established with the employees’ union and recorded in employees’ and managers’ profit sharing in the statement of income.

 

Income tax and social contribution

The income tax and social contribution expenses represents the total amount of current and deferred taxes, which are presented separately in the financial statements. The Company is subject to the regular tax regime ‘Lucro Real’. However, its subsidiaries that can benefit from the favorable tax regime, according to tax law, analyze the payable tax projection for the next year, in order to determine the tax regime that reduces its taxes payment.

Deferred and current tax related to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (OCI) are recognized directly in equity.

 
118 
Table of Contents 
 

Periodically, in accordance with IFRIC 23, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

 

Current

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Advances, or tax credits, are presented as current or non-current assets, in accordance with the expected date of their realization at the balance sheet date, when the tax amounts are duly calculated and offset against advances made.

 

Deferred

Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all the inter-temporal tax differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all the temporary differences deductible and unused tax losses or unused tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available for the temporary differences to be offset, except:

·        When the deferred tax (asset or liability) arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;

·        In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future;

·        In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized;

·        These taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution tax assets are reviewed at the reporting date and are reduced to the extent that their realization is no longer probable or recognized to the extent that it becomes probable that future taxable profits will allow them to be recovered.

The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either taxable entity.

 

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

The Company classify non-current assets as held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered, principally, through a sale transaction rather than through continuous use. This condition is met only when the asset (or group of assets) is available for immediate sale in its current condition subject only to usual and customary terms for the sale of the asset (or group of assets) and its sale is considered highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale which is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance expenses and income tax expenses.

 
119 
Table of Contents 
 

Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) and Intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized as long as they are classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the Statement of financial position. Dividends received from jointly controlled entities and affiliates, classified as held for sale, are recognized in the Income statement, in view of the discontinuation of measurement by the equity method, under IFRS 5.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

·represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
·is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
·is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

 

Discontinued operations are excluded from the reported profit from continuing operations, and are presented as a single amount, after taxes, based on discontinued operations, in the statement of income.

Additional disclosures are presented in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements. All the other notes to the consolidated financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, except when otherwise stated.

 

Revenue recognition

In general, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred, which must be allocated to that performance obligation. The revenue is recognized only when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer, considering the customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.

Revenues from the sale of energy are measured based on the energy supplied and the tariffs specified in the terms of the contract or in effect in the market. Revenues from supply of energy to final customers are recorded when the delivery has taken place. The billing is carried out monthly. Unbilled supply of energy, from the period between the last billing and the end of each month, is estimated based on the supply contracted and on the volume of energy delivered but not yet billed. In the case of the distribution concession contract, the unbilled revenue is estimated based on the volume of energy consumed and unbilled in the period. The supply is billed in monthly basis in accordance with the metering calendar in accordance with the sector’s regulations.

Historically, the differences between the estimated amounts and the actual revenues recognized are not significant.

Revenues from use of the distribution system (TUSD) received by the Company from other concession holders and other customers that use the distribution network are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. Unbilled retail supply of energy, from the period between the last measured consumption, according to the schedules specified in the concession regulation, and the end of each month, is estimated based on the billing from the previous month or the contractual amount. Historically, the differences between the estimated amounts and the actual revenues recognized are not significant.

The ‘Parcel A’ revenue and other financial components in tariff adjustments are recognized in the Statement of income when the energy acquisition costs effectively incurred are different from those considered by the Grantor to stablishes the energy distribution tariff.

 
120 
Table of Contents 
 

Any adjustment of expected cash flows from the concession financial asset of the energy distribution concession contract is presented as operating revenue, together with the other revenues related to the energy distribution services.

Revenues from supply of gas are recorded when the delivery has taken place, based on the volume measured and the tariffs specified in the terms of the contract. The billing is carried out monthly. In addition, unbilled supply of gas, from the period between the last billing and the end of each month, is estimated based on the volume of gas delivered but not yet billed. Historically, the differences between the estimated amounts and the actual revenues recognized are not significant and are recorded in the following month.

Revenues from transmission concession services are recognized in the monthly Statement of Income and include:

·Construction revenue corresponds to the performance obligation to build the transmission infrastructure, recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligation over time. They are measured based on the cost incurred, including PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over the total revenues and the profit margin of the project.
·Operation and maintenance revenue corresponds the performance obligation of operation and maintenance specified in the transmission concession contract, after termination of the construction phase. They are recognized when the services are rendered and the invoices for the RAPs are issued.
·Interest revenue in the contract asset recognized, recorded as transmission concession gross revenue in statement income. Revenue corresponds to the significant financing component in the contract asset and is recognized by the linear effective interest rate method based on the rate determined at the beginning of the investments, which is not subsequently changed. The Company’s average implicit rates are 6.68%. The rates are determined for each authorization and are applied on the amount to be received (future cash flow) over the duration of the contract. This includes financial updating by the inflation index specified for each transmission contract.

 

The services provided include charges for connection and other related services; the revenues are recognized when the services are rendered.

The profit margin on operation and maintenance of transmission infrastructure is determined based on the individual sale price of the service, based on available information on the value of the consideration that the entity expects to have the right to, in exchange for the services promised to the client, in cases where the Company’s transmission subsidiaries have the right, separately, to the remuneration for the activity of operation and maintenance, as per IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with clients, and the costs incurred for the provision of services of operation and maintenance.

The Resolution ANEEL 729/2016 regulates the variable portion (‘Parcela Variável’ or ‘PV’), which is the pecuniary penalty applied by the grantor as a result of any unavailability’s or operational restrictions on facilities that are part of the National Grid and the surcharge corresponding to the pecuniary bonuses provided to concessionaries as an incentive to improve the transmissions facilities availability. The Company assessed the PV effects, based on historical data, and concluded that recognizing the occasional variable consideration arising from the PV estimated would not result in relevant account information. Therefore, for both situations described, it is recognized as an adjustment to revenue, either as an increase in or a reduction of operation and maintenance revenue, when it occurs.

 

Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

 
121 
Table of Contents 
 

When recording a lease operation, the lessee recognizes a liability to make the payments (a lease liability) and an asset, representing the right to use the subject asset during the period of the leasing (an asset of right to use).

Right-of-use assets: Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

Lease liabilities: At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Company recognize separately the expenses of interest on the lease liability and the expense of depreciation of the asset of the right to use.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets: The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Performance

Analysis of Energy Sales and Cost of Energy Purchased

Energy rates in Brazil, related to energy distributors’ sales to regulated customers, are set by ANEEL, which has the authority to readjust and review rates in accordance with the applicable provisions of the concession contracts. See “Item 4: The Brazilian Power Industry—Tariffs”.

We charge regulated customers for their actual energy consumption during each 30-day billing period at specified rates. Certain large industrial customers are charged according to the energy capacity contractually made available to them by us, with adjustments to those rates according to consumption during peak demand time, as well as capacity requirements that exceed the contracted amount.

In general, rates on energy that we purchase are determined by reference to the capacity contracted for as well as the volumes actually used.

Distribution Rates

CEMIG D's periodic tariff review takes place every five years and has the objective of re-evaluating the company's manageable costs, which primarily include the operating costs and the costs of fixed assets that comprise the remuneration and depreciation of these assets. In the tariff review, the grantor applies the methodology for defining efficient operating costs and evaluates the incremental investments made in the asset base since the last review, as well as the write-offs and depreciation of the existing assets, composing a new remuneration base.

On May 20, 2021, CEMIG submitted to ANEEL a proposal for the reversal of R$1.573 million, for consumers in its concession area, regarding the financial component of reimbursement of Pasep / Cofins, with the objective of complying with contribute to low tariffs at a time when society as a whole was seeking to reduce the impacts of the pandemic. On May 25, 2021, ANEEL approved the readjustment with the insertion of this negative component reducing the average effect of CEMIG D’s 2021 tariff adjustment to 1.28%. Such rate was effective starting May 28, 2021 and it remains the same until May 27, 2022. Such updating had the following components: (i) an increase of 11.48% due to the Tariff Adjustment Index; (ii) an increase of 13.17% due to the variation in Parcel A costs (CVA – non-manageable costs); and (iii) a decrease of 23.27% related to other financial adjustments.

The average annual tariff adjustments of CEMIG D in 2021, 2020 and 2019, and the revisions of their respective components were as follows:

Transmission Rates

In January 2013, our transmission concession was renewed for another 30 years in accordance with the rules defined in Law 12,783/2013. At that time, there was an Extraordinary Review and transmission revenue was strictly reduced to the amount necessary to cover operation and maintenance costs, being part of the non-reversible assets indemnified.

In 2017, the capital cost of the reversible assets not yet amortized at the time of renewal of the transmission became part of the Allowed Annual Revenue (‘RAP’) of transmission concessionaires covered by Law 12,783/2013, according to rules defined in MME Administrative Rule no. 120/2016. This revenue consists of two components. One refers to the financial component, which corresponds to the cost of capital of the non-indemnified assets for the period from January 2013 to June 2017. During this period, the transmission company remained without any revenue for the assets made available that had not yet been indemnified. The second component, called the economic component, refers to the cost of capital to be paid to the end of the asset lifespan.

According to Technical Note No. 183/2017, appended to Resolution No. 2,258/2017, which ratified the RAP calculation for the 2017-2018 cycle, the total value of the cost of capital of assets not indemnified for this cycle was R$370.8 million.

Concerning the readjustment processes, the transmission concession agreement provides for a review every five years. The first review after the concession renewal was to occur in July 2018. However, this review occurred only in 2020 with a retroactive effect from July 2018. The methodology for this review was approved by Normative Resolution No. 816/2018, which covers a new criterion for valuation of the asset base and captures other revenues for tariff moderation. A new model for calculating operating costs is being discussed with the regulator.

The total of the RAPs of CEMIG GT for the 2021–2022 cycle – for Concession Contracts 06/1997, 079/2000 and 04/2005 – was R$ 753 million. Further to the amounts of the RAPs, Adjustment Components (Parcelas de AjustePAs) in the amount of R$21 million were ratified for these concessions. In the previous cycle, the RAPs of these concession contracts totaled R$ 840 million, and the PA was equivalent to R$ 66 million. The lower figure for 2021–2022 reflects the reprofiling of the Financial Component of the Annual Cost of the Assets Within the National Grid of Concession Contract 06/1997.

In the 2021–2022 cycle, the revenue for Concession Contract 06/1997 was equivalent to R$ 697 million, compared to R$ 858 million related to the previous cycle, a reduction of R$ 161 million. The reprofiling of the Financial Component resulted in a reduction in the revenue of R$ 237 million. The Financial Component for the 2020–2021 cycle was R$ 332 million (R$ 264 million in RAP, and R$ 69 million paid in the form of the Adjustment Component) and was reduced to R$ 96 million in the 2021–2022 cycle. The IPCA inflation index applied in the adjustment of RAP was equivalent to 8.05%. There was an increase in the RAP for the National Grid, due to new works entering the total during 2020-2021 – an increase of R$ 26 million in RAP prices regarding June 2021.

As well as the RAP, an Adjustment Component of R$ 13.2 million was ratified in the 2021–2022 cycle, relating to the differences between the Permitted Revenue and amounts actually received in the previous cycle.

In relation to the Financial Component, although the reprofiling resulted in a significant reduction in the 2021–2022 cycle, it results in a gain in the flow up to 2028:

The RAP of CEMIG GT Itajubá (Concession Contract 079/2000) was increased by 46% in the 2021–2022 cycle from the previous period, reflecting (i) the IGPM inflation index of the period, which was 37.04%, and (ii) the result of the Periodic Tariff Review for the 2019–2024 period (Ratifying Resolution 2,839/2021), which repositioned RAPs for the National Grid by 72%.

The Adjustment Component for CEMIG GT Itajubá also has a significant positive value, reflecting the effect of the backdated adjustment of the RAPs for the National Grid, when they underwent Periodic Tariff Review. In this cycle the Adjustment Component was equivalent to R$ 9.1million, of which R$ 16 million was the effect of the backdated revision of the RAPs for the National Grid, and the difference between the Permitted Revenue and the actual revenue received in the previous cycle was a negative amount of R$ 7 million. The positive effect of the backdated adjustment will extend up to the 2023–2024 cycle since it was divided into three portions to be paid over the remaining years of the revision cycle for this concession contract.

As well as Concession Contracts 06/1997 and 079/2000, CEMIG also holds the concession of Centroeste, with Concession Contract 04/2005, for which the RAP in the 2021–2022 cycle was equivalent to R$ 27.5 million. Its value is adjusted in accordance with the IGPM inflation index. The amount of the Adjustment Component ratified for this contract in the 2021–2022 cycle was not significant at R$1.0 million.

In December 2021, CEMIG GT also acquired the concession holder Sete Lagoas Transmissora de Energia (SLTE), which holds the Concession Contract 059/2010 SLTE, of which the RAP for the 2021–2022 cycle was equivalent to an additional amount of R$ 8.0 million. This is updated in accordance with the IPCA inflation index. The Adjustment Component of this contract was equivalent to negative R$0.4 million.

 

Exchange Rates

Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Reais. However, we have some foreign currency-denominated debt. As a result, in reporting periods when the Real declines against the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies in which our debt is denominated, our operating results and financial position can be adversely affected even with such foreign currency-denominated debt being hedged. Foreign exchange gain or loss and monetary variation gain or loss may affect our results of operations in periods in which there are wide swings in the value of the Real relative to the U.S. dollar or high inflation. We have a number of financial and other contracts under which we owe, or are entitled to, amounts in respect of monetary variation as measured by an index of price inflation in Brazil.

 

Impacts of Covid-19

Overview

While 2020 was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, generating a high social, economic and financial impact, 2021 was a year of economic recovery thanks to the rapid distribution and application of vaccines throughout the world, including in Brazil, which allowed a return to a certain normality in terms of activity.

On March 23, 2020, the Company established the Coronavirus Crisis Management Committee (‘Comitê Diretor de Gestão da Crise do Coronavírus’) to ensure its readiness to making decisions because of the fast-changing situation, which became more widespread, complex and systemic.

Also, in connection with recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health, aiming to contribute to the population and Brazilian authorities’ efforts to prevent the disease outbreak, the Company has implemented an operational contingency plan and several precautionary measures designed to keep its employees healthy and safe, including: security and health technicians contacting operational staff on a daily basis; interacting daily with the Social Service department to monitor the evolution of suspicious cases; changing working schedules to prevent gatherings; limiting national and international travel; suspending technical visits and events at Company facilities; using remote means of communication; adopting work-from-home policies for a substantial number of employees, which gradually started working returning to work in-person ageing in January, 2022, providing face masks for employees in external service or in service into its facilities, and requiring outsourcing providers to put the same procedures in place.

The Company also adopted the following additional measures:

·Flexible terms for the flow of payments and installments of amounts collected from clients, under the programs launched by the Company during 2020;
·Launched, on April 20, 2021, a negotiation campaign which enables payments by low-voltage commercial customers who are in default, to pay what is owed in up to 12 monthly installments without interest, including exemption for 45 days from inflation, with the purpose of keeping the payments low from small traders and services sector, ensuring their sustainability and contributing to their survival in the most critical period of the pandemic;
·Joining the civil society movement named ‘Unidos Pela Vacina’ (‘United for the Vaccine’), in order to collaborate effectively with the process of vaccination in the State of Minas Gerais, providing direct support to 425 municipalities. The Company’s participation happened through its employees’ support, who helped transport vaccines and take professionals to various municipalities to deliver vaccines in rural regions, including people who were bedridden, as well as the donation of R$3 per person who took the vaccine, in order to promote access to the vaccine to combat Covid-19 in municipalities of the State of Minas Gerais.

 

Impact of Covid-19 on Financial Statements

Since March 2020, the Company has been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on its business and the market in which it operates. The Company has implemented a series of precautionary measures to protect the health of its employees and to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in its operational and administrative facilities, many of which remained in place during part or all of 2021. These measures have been implemented in accordance with the recommendations of World Health Organization (WHO) and the Brazilian Ministry of Health and aim to supplement the public's and Brazilian authorities' efforts to prevent the further spread of the virus.

CEMIG encountered significant challenges as a result of the pandemic; however, the Company has shown operational resilience and sustainability, enabling quality energy supply to its customers, ensuring the provision of uninterrupted service to hospitals and other public services. Because CEMIG is an integrated company, with diversified businesses in the sectors of energy generation, transmission, sale and distribution, the Company has been able to maintain what it believes to be stable financial performance during the pandemic.

As of December 31, 2021, from the observation of the pandemic’s economic effects, the Company assessed the assumptions used for calculating fair value and recoverable amount of certain financial and non-financial assets, as follows:

·The Cemig’s subsidiary assessed whether the greater pressure on the exchange rate, combined with a lack of financial market liquidity, will have a negative impact on derivative financial instruments entered into to protect its operations against the risks arising from foreign exchange rate changes. At this point, given the current market conditions, the exposure to the exchange variation of the principal amount out debts, and the change in derivative instrument’ fair value, based on the forecasts of future interest and exchanges rates, and the semiannual settlement of derivatives instruments, resulting in a net loss of R$892 million in 2021. The long-term projections carried out for the foreign exchange rate are lower than the current dollar quotation, which may represent a decrease in Company’s foreign exchange variation expense, if the projected scenario occurs. Seeking to diligently manage its liabilities and reducing its liquidity risk and exposure to the US dollar, on August 05, 2021, Cemig launched its Cash Tender Offer to acquire its debt securities issued in the external market, with mature in 2024 and have a with 9.25% annual coupon, up to an amount of US$500 million. Additionally, on June 7 and 8, 2021 the hedge transactions contracted were partially undone, for a volume of US$500 million. This resulted in a reported gain in favor of the Company of US$774 million. For more details, see note 31 (b).

·In measuring the expected loss from doubtful receivables, the Company assessed the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to reduce the impact of the economic contraction. The Company has intensified measures to mitigate risks of default, with a specific campaign of negotiation with clients, individual collections through the courts, expansions of the channels for negotiation, and diversification of means of payment. The Company believes that the measures adopted have mitigated the effects of the economic crisis on the collection of receivables. ANEEL Resolution 928 and 936 extended the rule on suspension of supply of energy to the low-income sub-category of residential users, and certain other customers until December 31, 2021.
·Management’s assumptions applied to determine the recoverable amount of the relevant investments in subsidiaries, joint-controlled entities and associates were not influenced significantly by the Covid-19 pandemic, since these investees’ cash flows are mainly related to long-term rights to commercial operation of the relevant regulated activity. Therefore, no additional impairment losses were recognized to its investments in subsidiaries, joint-controlled entities and associates due to the economic crisis.
·Despite the uncertainties related to the crisis unfolding and its potential long-term effects, the Company does not expect that the negative impact on its projections of likely future taxable profits would compromise the recoverability of its deferred tax assets.
·The Company has assessed the behavior of the interest rates and discount rates that are the basis for calculation of post-employment obligations and believes that these are not significantly affected by macroeconomic issues in the short and medium term, since the main assumptions used are long-term.
·The Company reviewed the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value to reflect the conditions and current rates projected, which impacts are presented in Note 31.
·In the energy market, the volume of energy sold to captive customers, and transported for Free customer and distributors with access to CEMIG D’s networks, increased 5.1% from January to December of 2021, compared to the same period of 2020, reflecting the easing of social isolation requirements. This increase is comprised of two components: consumption by the captive market was 0.6% higher and use of the network by Free Clients was 10.3% higher.

 

The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic disclosed in these financial statements were based on the Company’s best estimates and significant long-term effects are not expected.

Energy sales to final customers

Total revenue from energy sold to final customers in 2021 was R$26,651 million, or 15.78% higher than the figure for 2020 of R$23,018 million.

The main items that affected total revenue from energy sold to final customers were:

·          The annual tariff adjustment for CEMIG D effective as from May 25, 2021, with an average upward effect of 1.28% on customer tariffs, in comparison an average upward effect on customer tariffs of 8.73% effective as from May 28, 2019; and

·          Volume of energy sold to final customers 9.81% higher year-on-year.

 

The Cemig D Annual Tariff Adjustment, effective from May 28, 2021 to May 27, 2022, with an average increase perceived by customers of 1.28% – its components included average increases of: 2.14% for high-voltage customers, and 0.89% for customers connected at low voltage. There was no adjustment to tariffs for residential customers connected at low voltage. This result arises from: (i) variation of 2.64% in the Parcel B costs, and the direct pass-throughs within the tariff, which were reduced by 1.37% – the latter having zero economic effect for the Company, not affecting profitability – relating to the following items: (a) increase of 8.84% in non-manageable costs (Parcel A), mainly related to purchase of energy supply, regulatory charges and transmission charges; (b) decrease of 8.80% in financial components of the current process, led by the reduction of R$1,573 relating to credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes, which generated a negative variation in the tariff of 9.67%, and the reversal of the Covid account (8.78%); and (c) withdrawal of 1.41% from the financial components of the prior process. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Market Evolution

The total for sales in CEMIG’s consolidated energy market comprises sales to: (i) Captive customers in CEMIG’s concession area in the State of Minas Gerais; (ii) Free Customers in both the State of Minas Gerais and other States of Brazil, in the Free Market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre, or ACL); (iii) other agents of the energy sector – traders, generators and independent power producers, also in the Free Market; (iv) Distributors, in the ACR Market; and (v) the Wholesale Trading Exchange (Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica – CCEE).

As illustrated in the table below, the total volume of energy sold by CEMIG in 2021 increased by 1.46% as compared to 2020:

Residential: Residential consumption in 2021 was 1.87% higher than in 2020. This increase is primarily due to new customer connections made in 2021, in CEMIG D (2.6% higher YoY).

Industrial: Total volume of energy consumed by regulated and free industrial customers was 28.51% higher in 2021 than in 2020. This increase was mainly reflecting new contracts for sales to free clients, starting supply in January 2021.

Commercial, services and others: Decrease of 2.77% in the volume of supply sold to the commercial customer category, mainly because of the significant migration of customers to Distributed Generation and the Free Market. In addition, this customer category continues to experience a decrease in 2021, more than the other categories, due to the impact of the pandemic on the economic activity, and thus on consumption.

Public services: Consumption was 4.11 % higher in 2021, mainly reflecting an increase in consumption related to capture of water, due to the low volume of rains in various months of 2021, and also the very low consumption by this consumer category in 2020.

Rural: Consumption by rural users increased by 5.55 % in 2021, mainly reflecting the fact that consumption for irrigation was higher, due to the lower volume of rains in 2021.

Wholesale supply to other concession holders: The energy sale to other concessionaires decreased 22.16% compared to 2020, mainly because of the significant migration of customers to Distributed Generation and the Free Market. In addition, this customer category continues to experience a decrease in 2021, more than the others categories, due to the impact of the pandemic on the economic activity, and thus on consumption.

Revenue from Use of Distribution Systems (the TUSD charge): This is revenue from charging Free Customers the Tariff for Use of the Distribution System (TUSD) on the volume of energy distributed. In 2021, this revenue was R$3,448 million, compared to R$3,022 million in 2020, an increase of 14.10% year-on-year, mainly reflecting the following:

·          The volume of energy transported from January to December 2021 was 10.27% higher than the same period of 2020, due to: (i) the increase in consumption for irrigation by rural customers; (ii) the migration of commercial customers to Free Market; and (iii) growth in the industrial market in 2021, due to the recovery of the economy.

The CVA Account and Other financial components, in rate increases: CEMIG recognizes the difference between actual non-controllable costs (in which the CDE, and energy purchase for resale, are significant components) and the costs that were used as the basis of decision of the rates charged to customers. The amount of this difference is passed through to customers in CEMIG D’s next tariff adjustment – in 2021 this represented a revenue of R$2,146 million, compared to the R$455 million in 2020. The increase is due to the cost of energy acquired in regulated market and transmission costs.

 

Transmission concession revenue

·          Construction revenue corresponds to the performance obligation to build the transmission infrastructure, recognized based on the satisfaction of obligation performance over time. They are measured based on the cost incurred, including PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over the total revenues and the profit margin of the project. For more information, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

·          Operation and maintenance revenue corresponds to the performance obligation of operation and maintenance specified in the transmission concession contract, after termination of the construction phase. They are recognized when the services are rendered and the invoices for the RAPs are issued.

·          Interest revenue in the contract asset recognized, recorded as transmission concession gross revenue in statement income. Revenue corresponds to the significant financing component in the contractual asset and is recognized by the linear effective interest rate method based on the rate determined at the start of the investments, which is not subsequently changed. The rates are determined for each authorization and are applied on the amount to be received (future cash flow) over the contract duration. This includes financial updating by the inflation index specified for each transmission contract.

 

Revenue from transactions in energy on the CCEE: Revenue from transactions in energy on the CCEE was R$1,157 million in 2021, compared to R$154 million in 2020, an increase of 651.30% year-on-year. This higher amount is due to excess of energy from January to December 2021, compared to deficit positions in 2020. From January to December 2021, short-term bilateral sales were made that increased the Company’s exposure on the CCEE. 

Revenue from supply of gas: CEMIG reported revenue from supply of gas totaling R$3,470 million in 2021, compared to R$2,011 million in 2020, an increase of 72.55%. This mainly reflects the increase on the volume of gas sold to the wholesale market in 2021, mainly in the thermal and industrial segment. 

Construction revenues: Distribution and transmission infrastructure construction revenues totaled R$1,852 million in 2021, compared to R$1,435 million in 2020, an increase of 29.06%. This variation is mainly due to the execution of a larger proportion of the Investment Plan budget in assets related to distribution concession infrastructure, especially those related to the sub-transmission networks, in expansion, strengthening and enhancement of high-voltage infrastructure.

Revenue arising from advances for services provided: Revenue in the amount of R$154 million arising from the negotiation with a free customer that resulted in a revenue recognition related to trading services provided in advance by the subsidiary ESCEE, in June 2021. 

Other: Other revenues totaled R$1,934 million in 2021, compared to R$1,709 million in 2020, 13.17% higher year-on-year. The breakdown of the other revenues is presented on Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.

Deductions from Revenue: Taxes and charges applied to revenue in 2021 were R$13,679 million, or 16.70% more than in 2020 (R$11,722 million), mainly reflecting the following:

·          CDE: The amounts of payments to the Energy Development Account (CDE) are decided by an ANEEL Resolution. The purpose of the CDE is to cover costs of concession indemnities, tariff subsidies, and the subsidy for balanced tariff reduction, the low-income customer subsidy, the coal consumption subsidy, and the Fuels Consumption Account (CCC). Charges for the CDE in 2021 were R$2,658 million, compared to R$2,443 million in 2020. This is a non-controllable cost: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for setting of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.

·          Other taxes and charges on revenue: The other significant deductions from revenue are taxes, which are calculated as a percentage of sales revenue. Thus, their variations arise, substantially, from the changes in revenue.

 

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses in 2021 were R$28,236 million, an increase of 31.75% as compared to 2020 (R$21,432 million).

The following table illustrates the components of operating costs and expenses in 2020 and 2019 expressed as a percentage of net revenues:

   2021  Net revenues  2020  Net revenues  2021 vs 2020

The following are the main variations in operating costs and expenses between 2021 and 2020:

 

Energy purchased for resale

Expenses due to energy purchased for resale in 2021 were R$16,101 million, compared to R$12,111 million in 2020, representing an increase of 32.95%. The main factors contributing to such increase were:

·Expenses on energy acquired in regulated market auctions increased by 87.22%, totaling R$6,242 million in 2021, as compared to R$3,334 million in 2020. This increase many arises from higher variable costs in energy trading contracts in the Regulated Market, due to higher dispatching of thermal plants;
·The expenses on distributed generation (‘geração distribuída’) acquired was R$1,268 million in 2021, compared to R$678 million in 2020, 87.02% higher. This reflects the higher number of generation units installed (115,868 in December 2021, compared to 63,845 in December 2020); and the higher volume of energy injected into the grid (1,919,881 MWh in 2021, compared to 1,008,589,663 MWh in 2020);
·Costs on energy acquired in the Free Market 25.12% higher, at R$4,976 million from January to December, compared to R$3,977 million in the prior year, mainly associated with new purchase contracts made to mitigate the exposure risk and the replenishment of incentive-bearing energy sources in energy balance.

 

This is a non-controllable cost for CEMIG Distribution: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment. For further details see Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.. 

 

Charges for use of the national grid

Charges for use of the national grid in 2021 were R$3,337 million, compared to R$1,748 million in 2020, representing an increase of 90.90%.

The difference is mainly due to lower transmission charges in 2Q20, resulting in lower cash outflow from distributors during the Covid-19 pandemic. The increase in 2021, was due to the reduced transmission volume in 2020, which was restarted in 2021 by approximately 40% as from July 2020. And even considering that, in July 2021 we had a reduction of approximately 10% in the increase, the final result for the year of 2021 was, on average, a cost 17% higher than in 2020.

This is a non-manageable cost for CEMIG Distribution: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.

Personnel

Expenses due to personnel in 2021 were R$1,240 million, compared to R$1.276 million in 2020, representing a decrease of 2.82%. this variation is due, mainly, to a reduction of 4.36% in the average number of employees, being 5,025 in 2021 compared to 5,254 in 2020. Reduction in costs and expenses with the voluntary dismissal program in the first half of 2021, in the amount of R$35,238, compared to R$58,850 in the same period in 2020. And salary readjustment of 4.77% and 11.08% as of November 2020 and 2021, respectively, due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

 

Gas bought for resale

In 2021 the Company reported expense of R$2,011 million on acquisition of gas, 85.69% more than in 2020 of R$1,083 million. This is primarily due to the increase of 45.20%, mainly due to thermoelectric power generation, which consumption was 205.32% higher, due to the levels of the plants’ reservoirs were lower than expected in 2021. This caused a greater dispatch of the thermoelectric plants. The margin on natural gas was adjusted, in accordance with the IGPM inflation index, by 25.70% in 2021. Another important aspect is the increase in the average cost of gas in 2021, in the order of 42.70%, which was also reflected in the tariff.

 

Operating provisions and impairment

Operating provisions in 2021 totaled R$375 million, compared to R$423 million in 2020, a decrease of 11.35%. The decrease was mainly due to:

·Provisions for the SAAG put option 88.68% higher, representing an expense of R$100 million in 2021, compared to R$53 million in 2020, mainly reflecting the negative effects on the fair value of Mesa resulting from the adverse judgment given in the arbitration proceedings involving SAE.
·Variation of provisions for taxes, which represented the constitution of R$2 million in 2021, compared to R$75 million in 2020. This variation results, mainly, from a judgment given in favor of the Company in one of the administrative cases relating to social security contributions from January to October 2010, which resulted in cancellations of tax debits, according to calculations by the tax authority (Receita Federal). For further details see Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.

·Constitution of estimated provisions for losses on loans to related parties, from January to December 2020, referring to credits owed by Renova totaling R$37.

 

For further Information see Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Employees´ and managers´ profit sharing

The expense on employees and managers profit sharing was R$134 million in 2021, compared to R$142 million in 2020. The decrease was due to a lower consolidated net income of CEMIG – the basis of calculation for this expense.

 

Infrastructure construction costs

Infrastructure construction costs in 2021 totaled R$2,036 million, or 28.78% more than in 2020 (R$1,581 million).

The difference mainly arises the higher volume of investments in distribution in January to December 2021, compared to 2020, especially in sub-transmission, in expansion, reinforcement and improvement of high-voltage infrastructure.

This line records the Company’s investment in assets of the concession in the period, and is fully offset by the line Construction revenue, in the same amount.

 

Share of profit (loss), net, of associates and joint ventures

In 2021, CEMIG reported a gain by the equity method of R$182 million, compared to R$357 million reported in 2020. The difference is mainly due losses 186.33% higher on the investee Santo Antônio Energia, which reported a loss, resulting in negative equity income of R$528 million in 2021, compared to negative equity income of R$184 million in 2020. This difference primarily reflects recognition of the effects of the judgments given in the arbitration proceedings in which SAESA is a party. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for details on the results from the investees recognized under this line.

Until the end of the collective bargaining agreement ended in October 2021, the Company offered retirees a 50% coverage of the life insurance policy, with certain specific features. However, due to the changes made in the Collective Bargaining Agreement 2021/2023 to offer and fund life insurance for employees and former employees, the said post-employment benefit was terminated and thus the Company wrote off the balance of the obligation, remeasured by the revised actuarial assumptions, against results and equity, in the amounts of R$415 million and R$59 million.

 

Net finance income (expense)

Net finance income totaled R$2,253 million in 2021, compared to net finance expenses of R$905 million in 2020.

The main factors contributing to this change in net finance income and expenses were:

·          Recognition, in 2021, an expense of R$538 million from the hedge transaction related to the Eurobond transaction, compared to recognition of a gain of R$1,753 million in 2020. The variation in 2021 arises from a fall in the future interest yield curve; and

 

This was partially offset by the following:

·          Appreciation of the dollar against the real from January to December 2021 of 7.39%, compared to appreciation, of 29%, in 2020 – generating a posting of expenses of R$354 million from January to December 2021, vs. expenses, of R$1,749 million, in 2020;

·          Recognition of the premium on repurchase of debt securities in the amount of R$491 million as a result of the partial buyback of its Eurobonds – Tender Offer.

 

The breakdown of financial income and expenses is in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Tax and the Social Contribution

In 2021, the Company’s income tax and the social contribution expense totaled R$945 million, on pre-tax profit of R$4,698 million, an effective rate of 20.12%. In 2020, the Company’s income tax and social contribution expense totaled R$936 million, on pre-tax profit of R$3,801 million, an effective rate of 24.63%.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2020 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Net revenues

Net revenues decreased by 1.02% from R$25,486 million in 2019 to R$25,228 million in 2020, as follows.

Table of Contents 
 

The main items that affected total revenue from energy sold to final customers were:

·The annual tariff adjustment for CEMIG D effective as from May 28, 2019, with an average upward effect of 8.73% on customer tariffs, in comparison an average upward effect on customer tariffs of 23.19% effective as from May 28, 2018; and
·Volume of energy sold to final customers 6.66% lower year-on-year.

 

The annual tariff adjustment for CEMIG D, effective July 1, 2020, with average upward effect on customer tariffs was 4.27% and from August 19, 2020, the adjustment was recalculated, resulting in the adjustment having a null effect on customer tariffs, due to reimbursement to customers of R$714 million, corresponding to the escrow deposits released after the success of CEMIG’s legal action (against which there is no further appeal), which recognized the right to exclude the ICMS amounts from the calculation basis of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Market Evolution

The total for sales in CEMIG’s consolidated energy market comprises sales to: (i) Captive customers in CEMIG’s concession area in the State of Minas Gerais; (ii) Free Customers in both the State of Minas Gerais and other States of Brazil, in the Free Market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre, or ACL); (iii) other agents of the energy sector – traders, generators and independent power producers, also in the Free Market; (iv) Distributors, in the ACR Market; and (v) the Wholesale Trading Exchange (Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica – CCEE).

As illustrated in the table below, the total volume of energy sold by CEMIG in 2020 decreased by 1.52% as compared to 2019:

 GWh (2)  2020  2019  Var %
Residential   10,981  10,538  4.20
Industrial   12,731  14,873  (14.40)

(1)Includes Regulated Market Energy Sale Contracts (CCEARs) and ‘bilateral contracts’ with other agents.
(2)Data not audited by external auditors; includes Regulated Market Energy Sale Contracts (CCEARs) and ‘bilateral contracts’ with other agents.

 

Residential: Residential consumption in 2020 was 4.20% higher than in 2019. This increase is primarily due to new customer connections made in 2020, in CEMIG D.

Industrial: Total volume of energy consumed by regulated and free industrial customers was 14.40% lower in 2020 than in 2019. This decrease was due primarily to industrial activity not resuming growth due to the Covid-19 pandemic during the year.

 
135 
Table of Contents 
 

Commercial, Services and Others: Consumption was 8.18 % lower in 2020, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic during the year.

Rural: Consumption by rural users increased by 0.76 % in 2020.

Wholesale supply to other concession holders: The energy sale to other concessionaires increased 16.68% compared to 2019 due to a higher volume of energy available sold in this segment, to redeem part of the high credit that those companies have at CCEE.

Revenue from Use of Distribution Systems (the TUSD charge): This is revenue from charging Free Customers the Tariff for Use of the Distribution System (TUSD) on the volume of energy distributed. In 2020, this revenue was R$3,022 million, compared to R$2,722 million in 2019, an increase of 11.02% year-on-year, mainly reflecting the following:

·Upward adjustment of 15.47% in the TUSD, in CEMIG D’s 2019 annual tariff adjustment, effective from May 28, 2019 added to an upward adjustment of 5.74% in the TUSD, in CEMIG D’s 2020 annual tariff adjustment, effective from May 28, 2020.

 

The CVA Account and Other financial components, in rate increases: CEMIG recognizes the difference between actual non-controllable costs (in which the CDE, and energy purchase for resale, are significant components) and the costs that were used as the basis of decision of the rates charged to customers. The amount of this difference is passed through to customers in CEMIG D’s next tariff adjustment – in 2020 this represented a revenue of R$455 million, compared to the R$58 million. The higher figure in 2020 compared to 2019 is mainly due higher cost of energy and the estimated figures used for future cost of energy in the tariff calculation (this difference generates a financial asset to be reimbursed to the Company through the next tariff adjustment).

 

Transmission concession revenue

·Construction revenue corresponds to the performance obligation to build the transmission infrastructure, recognized based on the satisfaction of obligation performance over time. They are measured based on the cost incurred, including PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over the total revenues and the profit margin of the project. For more information, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
·Operation and maintenance revenue corresponds to the performance obligation of operation and maintenance specified in the transmission concession contract, after termination of the construction phase. They are recognized when the services are rendered and the invoices for the RAPs are issued.
·Interest revenue in the contract asset recognized, recorded as transmission concession gross revenue in statement income. Revenue corresponds to the significant financing component in the contractual asset and is recognized by the linear effective interest rate method based on the rate determined at the start of the investments, which is not subsequently changed. The average of the implicit rates is 6.68%. The rates are determined for each authorization and are applied on the amount to be received (future cash flow) over the contract duration. This includes financial updating by the inflation index specified for each transmission contract.

 

Revenue from transactions in energy on the CCEE: Revenue from transactions in energy on the CCEE was R$154 million in 2020, compared to R$432 million in 2019, a decrease of 64.35% year-on-year. This reflects lower volume of energy available for settlement in the wholesale market in 2020 considering the low level of Brazilian reservoirs and energy allocated to be sold to other segments.

Revenue from supply of gas: CEMIG reported revenue from supply of gas totaling R$2,011 million in 2020, compared to R$2,298 million in 2019, a decrease of 12.49%. This mainly reflects the decrease on the volume of gas sold to the wholesale market in 2020, mainly in the thermal and industrial segment.

Construction revenues: Distribution and transmission infrastructure construction revenues totaled R$1,637 million in 2020, compared to R$1,292 million in 2019, an increase of 26.70%. This revenue is fully offset by Construction costs in the distribution segment, of the same amount, and corresponds to the Company’s investments in assets of the concession in the year. For the transmission segment, this represents investment in small improvements in 2020, due to regulatory changes and the suspension of contracts with works suppliers’ reinforcements.

Recovery of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes credits over ICMS: The credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins totaling R$1,428 million in 2019, resulted from the success in the Company’s legal action questioning the inclusion of ICMS tax in these amounts since July 2003.

Revenue from the mechanism for the sale of energy surplus: The revenue from the mechanism for the sale of energy surplus (MVE) were R$234 million in 2020, relating to offers of supply made at the end of 2019 by CEMIG D. This mechanism is an instrument regulated by ANEEL enabling distributors to sell over contracted supply – the energy amount that exceeds the quantity required to supply captive customers.

Other: Other revenues totaled R$1,709 million in 2020, compared to R$1,721 million in 2019, 0.75% lower year-on-year. The breakdown of the other revenues is presented on Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.

Deductions from Revenue: Taxes and charges applied to revenue in 2020 were R$11,722 million, or 5.09% lower than in 2019 (R$12,351 million), mainly reflecting the following:

·CDE: The amounts of payments to the Energy Development Account (CDE) are decided by an ANEEL Resolution. The purpose of the CDE is to cover costs of concession indemnities, tariff subsidies, and the subsidy for balanced tariff reduction, the low-income customer subsidy, the coal consumption subsidy, and the Fuels Consumption Account (CCC). Charges for the CDE in 2020 were R$2,443 million, compared to R$2,448 million in 2019. This is a non-controllable cost: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for setting of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.
·Customer charges – the ‘Tariff Flag’ system: The Tariff Flag bands are activated because of low levels of water in the system’s reservoirs – tariffs are temporarily increased due to scarcity of rain. The ‘Red’ band has two levels – Level 1 and Level 2. Level 2 comes into effect when scarcity is more intense. Activation of the tariff flags generates an impact on billing in the subsequent month. Income from charges to the customer related to the Tariff Flag bands was 49.32% lower in 2020, at R$149 million, compared to R$294 million in 2019. This reflects application of the Green band for the whole year of 2020, due to reduction of the demand due to the Covid-19 Pandemic effects.
·Other taxes and charges on revenue: The other significant deductions from revenue are taxes, which are calculated as a percentage of sales revenue. Thus, their variations arise, substantially, from the changes in revenue.

 

Periodic Tariff Review

The tariff review effected in June 2020 for Contract 006/1997 resulted in recognition of revenue of R$529 million, comprising R$322 million for new assets in the National Grid, and R$207 million for existing assets in the National Grid, corresponding to the extension of the concessions, under Law 12,783/13, which were included in the regulatory remuneration base. In December 2020, contract 079/2020 was also submitted to the periodic tariff review, and this resulted in recognition of revenue of R$23 million (R$22 million net of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes). The revenues resulting from the periodic tariff reviews reflect, principally, the change in the rate of regulatory remuneration for the transmission activity, and remeasurement of the New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de Reposição – VNR) of the regulatory remuneration base (BRR).

Additionally, these revenues were impacted by the increase in annual RAP, in July 2020, and includes the effects of inflation and also new revenues resulting from investments authorized.

 

Operating costs and expenses

Operating costs and expenses in 2020 were R$21,432 million, a decrease of 4.64% as compared to 2019 (R$22,475 million).

The following are the main variations in operating costs and expenses between 2020 and 2019:

 

Employees and managers´ profit sharing

The expense on employees and managers profit sharing was R$142 million in 2020, compared to R$263 million in 2019. The decrease was due to a lower consolidated net income of CEMIG – the basis of calculation for this expense.

 

Energy purchased for resale

Expenses due to energy purchased for resale in 2020 were R$12,111 million, compared to R$11,286 million in 2019, representing an increase of 7.31%. The main factors contributing to such increase were:

·Expenses on energy acquired in regulated market auctions increased by 10.36%, totaling R$3,334 million in 2020, as compared to R$3,021 million in 2019, mainly due to the increase in the volume of energy acquired;
·Expense on supply from Itaipu was 39.26% higher, at R$1,990 million in 2020, compared to R$1,429 million in 2019. The difference is mainly due to the increase of 31.80% in the average dollar quotation in 2020 compared to 2019 (R$5.23 and R$3.97, respectively), which has contributed to the rise in dollar energy price per KW (US$28.41/KW in 2020 and US$27.71/KW in 2019);
·The expenses on distributed generation (‘geração distribuída’) acquired was R$678 million in 2020, compared to R$207 million in 2019, 227.54% higher. This reflects the higher number of generation units installed (63,845 in December 2020, compared to 31,172 in December 2019); and the higher volume of energy injected into the grid (1,008,589,663 MWh in 2020, compared to 412,290,475 MWh in 2019);
·The cost of purchases of supply in the spot market was at R$1,497 million in 2020, compared to R$1,886 million in 2019. The result expressed for spot-price supply is the net balance between revenues and expenses of transactions on the Power Trading Chamber (CCEE). The lower figure is mainly due to the average spot price (PLD) being 22.06% lower, at R$177.00/MWh in 2020, compared to R$227.10/MWh in 2019.

 

This is a non-controllable cost for CEMIG Distribution: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment. For further details see Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Charges for use of the national grid

Charges for use of the national grid in 2020 were R$1,748 million, compared to R$1,426 million in 2019, representing an increase of 22.58%.

This expense is payable by energy distribution and generation agents for use of the facilities that are components of the national grid. The amounts to be paid are set by an ANEEL Resolution. The higher figure is mainly due to the annual adjustment in charges for use of the National Grid, which usually takes place in July, and had an effect of approximately 27.4% in 2020.

This is a non-manageable cost for CEMIG Distribution: the difference between the amounts used as a reference for calculation of tariffs and the costs actually incurred is compensated for in the subsequent tariff adjustment.

 

Operating provisions and impairment

Operating provisions in 2020 totaled R$423 million, compared to R$2,401 million in 2019, a decrease of 82.38%. The decrease was mainly due to:

 
139 
Table of Contents 
 
·Provisions for employment-law legal actions amounting R$46 million in 2020, compared to a provisions of R$136 million in 2019. This arises mainly from reassessment of the probability of loss in existing actions, based on application of the IPCA-E inflation index instead of the TR reference rate in monetary adjustment for employment-law legal actions dealing with debts.
·Variation of provisions for taxes, which represented the recognition of R$75 million in 2020, compared to R$1,228 million in 2019. This variation results, mainly, of the Company’s reassessment, based on the opinion of its legal advisers, of the probability of loss on administrative and court proceedings opened against the Company relating to social security contributions on the payment of profit shares to its employees, alleging that Company did not previously establish clear and objective rules for the distribution of these amounts. For further details see Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements.
·Provision for expected credit losses of account receivables from clients 38.24% lower, at R$147 million in 2020, compared to R$238 million in 2019. This difference mainly reflects reversal of expected losses for debts for energy consumption and services owed by the direct and indirect administration of Minas Gerais State of R$210 million, in 2020, that the Company will be able to be offset against ICMS tax owed to the state, under State Decree 47,908/2020. For more information, see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. Also, default in 2020 declined due to clients’ acceptance of the negotiation rules approved by the Company for dealing with the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
·This was partially offset by the recognition of an estimated loss on realization of the receivables from Renova, in the amount of R$688 million, after an assessment of the investee’s credit risk, which deteriorated in the current year, that increased the cost with operating provisions in 2019.

 

For further Information see Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Infrastructure construction costs

Infrastructure construction costs in 2020 totaled R$1,581 million, or 31.75% more than in 2019 (R$1,200 million).

Construction revenues for energy and gas distribution segment are equivalent to new infrastructure are initially recorded as contract assets, measured at construction cost plus margin (which, for the construction business, is deemed as zero). Construction costs include borrowing costs.

Construction revenues for transmission segment are recorded when construction is finalized, concession infrastructure assets remain as contract asset, considering the existence of performance obligations during the concession period, represented by the network construction, operation and maintenance, as there is no unconditional right to receive the consideration for the construction service unless the company operates and maintains the infrastructure.

 

Gas bought for resale

In 2020 the Company reported expense of R$1,083 million on acquisition of gas, 24.58% less than the expense of R$1,436 million in 2019. This is primarily due to the decrease of 16.28% in the volume of gas bought from Petrobras, related to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in the thermal and industrial sector demand.

 

Post-employment obligations

The Company’s post-retirement obligations were 7.35% higher in 2020, than 2019, being R$438 million and R$408 million, respectively. This mainly reflects a higher cost for the Health Plan in 2020, due to reduction of the discount rate used in the actuarial valuation made in December 2019.

Share of profit (loss), net, of associates and joint ventures

In 2020, CEMIG reported a gain by the equity method of R$357 million, compared to R$125 million reported in 2019. This primarily reflects higher gains in 2020 on the investments in TAESA compared to losses on the investments in Santo Antônio Energia and Itaocara in 2019. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for details on the results from the investees recognized under this line.

 

Net finance income (expense)

Net finance income totaled R$905 million in 2020, compared to net finance expenses of $1,360 million in 2019. The main factors contributing to this change in net finance income and expenses were:

·Recognition, in 2020, of R$1,753 million from the hedge transaction related to the Eurobond transaction, compared to recognition of a gain of R$998 million in 2019. The adjustment of the hedge transaction to fair value resulted in a positive effect, due to a lower variation in the future curve for the DI (Interbank Deposit) rate than in the future curve for the US dollar exchange rate. This gain should be considered together with the expense on foreign exchange variation arising from the Eurobond, as described below; and
·Revenue of monetary updating of the PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes credits over ICMS, adding up to R$1,580 million in 2019. CEMIG, CEMIG GT and CEMIG D filed an Ordinary Action for a declaration that it was unconstitutional to include the ICMS value added tax within the taxable amount for calculation of PIS/Pasep and Cofins; and for recognition of these companies’ right to offsetting of amounts unduly paid for the 10 years prior to the action being filed, with monetary adjustment by the Selic rate. For more information see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

This was partially offset by the following:

·Higher interest on loans in foreign currency – which in 2020 represented a financial expense of R$850 million, compared a financial expense of R$664 million in 2019. This higher increase is due to 29% higher exchange rate in effect in in 2020 (R$5.19 in 2020, compared to R$4.03 in 2019);
·Higher foreign exchange variation on loans in foreign currency – which in 2020 represented a financial expense of R$1,742 million, compared a financial expense of R$226 million in 2019. This higher increase is due to the higher exchange rate in effect in the period (29% in 2020, compared to 4% in 2019).

 

The breakdown of financial income and expenses is in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Tax and the Social Contribution

In 2020, the Company’s income tax and the social contribution expense totaled R$936 million, on pre-tax profit of R$3,801 million, an effective rate of 24.63%. In 2019, the Company’s expense on income tax and social contribution expense totaled R$1,599 million, on pre-tax profit of R$4,570 million, an effective rate of 34.99%.

Trends

As a public service utility, we are subject to regulations issued by the Brazilian Federal Government as described in “Item 4: Information on the Company – The Brazilian Power Industry”. Therefore, any change in the regulatory framework may affect us significantly either with respect to our revenue, if the change relates to prices or with respect to our operating expenses if the change relates to costs incurred to provide service to customers.

As to the question of reliability of supply of energy, the structural capacity of the system is adequate to meet the market’s needs for consumption of energy, and the expansion of generation and transmission capacity currently in development will be able to meet the expected demand for consumption from the market. Rates of growth of energy consumption in Brazil in recent years have been 4.2% (2016-2017), 3.73% (2017-2018), 1.92% (2018-2019), -1.56% (2019-2020) and 4.0% (2020-2021) strong growth due to the COVID pandemic in 2020). The Brazilian Federal Government has been successful with the ‘new supply’ auctions starting in 2005 which have made possible the construction of new projects such as the Santo Antônio hydroelectric plant (3,150 MW) and the Jirau hydroelectric plant (3,750 MW), on the Madeira River; the Belo Monte plant (11,233 MW) on the Xingu River; and the Teles Pires plant (1,820 MW) on the Teles Pires River, in accordance with the needs of the distributors for acquisition of energy.

Regarding capital expenditures, for 2022 we planned to make capital investments in relation to our fixed assets in the amount of approximately R$3,679 million, corresponding to our basic program. We expect to allocate these expenditures primarily to the expansion of our distribution system. We will also allocate R$122 million for injection of capital into subsidiaries to meet specific capital needs. For more details see item 4 ‘Capital Expenditures’.

In the matter of the pandemic situation, caused by the new coronavirus, see ‘Risk Factors’ and ‘Impacts of Covid-19’, where the Company addresses its initiatives and possible impacts on its business.

This option was considered to be a derivative instrument until the early exercise of the option (for further details, see the next topic of this note), of accounted at fair value through profit and loss, measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) model. For more details, see Notes 31 and 34 to our consolidated financial statements.

Significant Civil and Criminal Proceedings Involving Key Management Members

Mr. Marcelo Gasparino da Silva, a member of the Board of Directors of CEMIG, is a defendant in two "Civil Action of Administrative Impropriety due to Damages to the Public Treasury" proceedings (not criminal cases), both of which were filed before the 1st Public Treasury Court of Florianópolis in Santa Catarina State, Brazil.

In the first case, the prosecutor in Santa Catarina State, Brazil has alleged irregularities regarding a specific business purchase by Celesc Distribuição S.A. approved on December 11, 2008 without the required auction proceeding. Such purchase was made in reliance on an emergency decree by the State Governor. Mr. Marcelo Gasparino da Silva was named as a defendant as a result of his role as Celesc Distribuição's Legal Officer from 2007 to 2009. In the other civil action involving Mr. Marcelo Gasparino da Silva, the prosecutor has alleged irregularities in the agreement entered into by Celesc Distribuição S.A. and Monreal Corporação Nacional de Serviços e Cobranças S/C Ltda. Almost all former members of the Celesc Distribuição’s board of directors between 2003 and 2009 were named as defendants in the case. Both actions are in the pre-trial proceeding stage, and the relevant complaints have not been accepted by the Court yet. Since the last report in 2021, there hasn't been significant development on these cases and there's no verdict, they are still on the pre-trial proceeding stage.

 

Mr. José João Abdalla Filho, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is defendant in a criminal action pending before the 2nd Federal Criminal Court of Rio de Janeiro, for which he is accused of having committed the crime of tax evasion, for alleged omission of information in his 2010 income tax return. Mr. Abdalla Filho presented his defense, in which he alleges that the Court is unfit to proceed with the criminal action, and non-occurrence of the criminal practice, considering that the facts found (sale of real estate) occurred in the 1910s and 1940s, and not in the year 2001, according to the accusatory view. On August 3, 2020, the Court gave judgment “ruling the criminal action to be extinct, without decision on the merit, due to recognition of absence of process, namely, absence of correct, and consequently valid, constitution of the tax credit”. The Federal Public Attorneys then filed an appeal, on September 8, 2020. At this time, the case was remitted to the regional Federal Appeal Court of the 2nd Region. The regional Attorneys of the Republic presented an opinion on September 19, 2020. A date for hearing by the Court for judgment on the appeal is pending.

In another criminal action, before the first Federal Court of Araçatuba – Judiciary of São Paulo State, Mr. Abdalla Filho is accused of the crime of tax evasion, for alleged false declaration of the totality of his revenues, and omission of revenues in a company in which he was CEO, majority shareholder and manager during the years 2006–2008. In preliminary defense, Mr. Abdalla stated the view that the accusation should be rejected, due to the case being null in its entirety, and that on the merit, the accusation is without grounds, and a ruling of complete acquittal should be given. On June 5, 2019, the Federal Public Attorneys presented an amendment to the accusation to include the allegation that Mr. Abdalla Filho had committed the same offenses for the years 2010 and 2011. However, by an interim decision of the Chair of the Federal Supreme Court on July 15, 2019, the exclusion applied for by Mr. Abdalla was granted. On December 10, 2019, a further judgment ordered the case to go forward, due to the view taken by the full Supreme Court in the final judgment on the Special Appeal referred to. On the same occasion, the court determined issuance of Letters Rogatory to the federal judiciary of Rio de Janeiro to serve notice on Mr. Abdalla for presentation of a new preliminary defense due to the amendment to the accusation. With the case being digitalized, a writ pointing to failures in the digitalization was presented on January 1, 2021, and a judgment was given ordering the secretariat to check the digitalization, to correct the failings, and subsequently serve notice on the defendant to present preliminary defense. This regularization of the digitalization, and service of notice on the defendant for presentation of a new preliminary defense, is still pending.

A third criminal action, also about tax evasion, was presented in the first Federal Court of Americana – judiciary of São Paulo State. The Federal Public Attorneys allege omission of information, false declaration to the tax authorities, and attempt to defraud tax inspection. The case involves more than one company chaired and managed by Mr. Abdalla. After the preliminary defense, Mr. Abdalla is of the view that the accusation should be rejected, that the case is null in its entirety, and that on the merit the accusation cannot proceed, since an acquittal judgment has been given. However, due to the interim decision by the Chair of the Federal Supreme Court on July 15, 2019, in the Special Appeal RE 1.55.941/SP, with ergo omnes effect as precedent over all other cases, dismissal of the criminal action was requested, and granted. On January 30, 2020, a further decision ruled that the case should be resumed, due to the understanding stated by the Full Supreme Court in the final judgment on the said Special Appeal. The case records in the criminal action have been digitalized, and designation of the date for hearing of evidence and judgment is pending.

The Fiscal Council

Under CEMIG’s by-laws, its Fiscal Council is established permanently. It sets forth ordinary monthly meetings and extraordinary meetings whenever necessary. It comprises five members, and their respective substitute members, elected by the shareholders at the General Meeting, for a term of two years. A member may be re-elected a total of two times. The holders of the preferred shares, as a group, are entitled to elect one member of the Fiscal Council and a corresponding substitute. A single minority holder of common shares, or a group of minority holders of common shares, with a joint interest of at least 10% of the total shares, has the right to elect one member of the Fiscal Council and a corresponding substitute. The majority of the members shall be elected by the controlling shareholder and at least one member shall be a public servant. The primary responsibility of the Fiscal Council, which is independent from management and from the independent external auditors appointed by the Board of Directors, is to review the consolidated financial statements and report on them to the shareholders. The Fiscal Council is also responsible for providing opinions on any proposals by management to be submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders related to: (i) changes in the share capital; (ii) issue of debentures or warrants; (iii) capital expenditures plans and budgets; (iv) distribution of dividends; (v) changes in the corporate structure; or (vi) corporate reorganization, such as mergers, consolidations, and spin-offs.

Unions

Meetings are held throughout the year for collective negotiation with the unions that represent the employees. The Collective Work Agreements (Acordos Coletivos de Trabalho, or ‘ACTs’) that result from these meetings cover salary adjustments, benefits, rights and duties of the employment relationship, and come into effect starting on November 1 of each year until the end of the validity of each respective Collective Work Agreement. Negotiations between the Company and the Unions for the 2021-2023 Collective Work Agreements were concluded with effective from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023.

In the 2021/2023 collective work agreement, the company and the unions agreed on a readjustment of the economic benefits to ensure the replacement of losses resulting from inflation in the period, with an adjustment of 11.08%, which corresponds to the full inflationary index accumulated in the last 12 months before the base date, in addition to ensuring the correction of salaries and benefits, in November 2022, by the inflation index (INPC-IBGE) accumulated between November 1st, 2021 and October 31st, 2022.

The agreement reaffirmed benefits as: payment of day and night overtime; setting of a ceiling for grant of financial help for training in technical or graduation courses; advance of the first installment of the annual 13th salary payment; assistance benefits; release of union leaders and provisional job stability; and funds for grant of salary alterations in accordance with the Careers and Remuneration Plan (Plano de Cargos e Remunerações, or ‘PCR’).

In health and safety in the workplace, the employees have the following benefits guaranteed: regulated Internal Accident Prevention Committees (Comissões Internas de Prevenção de Acidentes, or ‘CIPAs’), with participation by the unions; medical health inventory; inspection of contractors as to their work safety; and notification of serious or fatal accidents.

During the 2021/2023 ACT’s negotiations, there wasn`t a stoppage/strike. However, in the event of strikes, CEMIG has an Operational Emergency Committee, created with the basic objective of establishing a Contingency Plan to maintain our essential services in the event of strikes; CEMIG has an Operational Contingency Council aimed at setting forth a Contingency Plan for continuation of its essential services.

 

Compensation

CEMIG compensates its employees in a competitive way, in line with best market practices.

CEMIG’s compensation strategy reflects a compatible and competitive positioning with the market, with benefits and programs for the welfare of its employees. Thus, CEMIG has a Careers and Remuneration Plan in which the positions are described based on their nature and complexity, as well as the knowledge requirements necessary for the performance of their functions. The fees are set considering the reviews of positions, made according to specific methodology. The plan is designed to attract, develop, retain, and enhance the best talented Company professionals needed to conduct CEMIG’s business while preserving our culture, the alignment to its business objectives, competitiveness and longevity in the market where it operates without losing sight of the particularities of its segment and the commitment of the employees with the result of their work. In addition, the Careers and Remuneration Plan establishes criteria for granting horizontal and vertical progressions that include, among other things, employee performance.

The current Careers and Remuneration Plan was put in place in September 2018 aiming to provide us with the instruments of compensation considered to be necessary to maintain an equitable and competitive payment structure and establish criteria for promotions. In order to maintain a current plan that is consistent with the business context, the Careers and Remuneration Plan is being revised. The review is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022.

Program for Sharing in Profit, Results, and Productivity

CEMIG has a program for sharing profits and results with employees in accordance with applicable Brazilian employment legislation. Profits are distributed only if, in aggregate, at least 70% of the corporate targets are achieved, after relative weighting for each of the corporate and operational indicators.

In 2021 the collective agreement for distribution of profits or results established a maximum percentage of 4.5% of adjusted net income, covering in the program all its employees, including managerial positions. To qualify to receive this portion, Cemig monitors and calculates a basket of corporate indicators and specific indicators for each manager, linked to the challenges of the business and the economic and financial sustainability of the company.

In 2020, in accordance with the terms of the Collective Agreement, CEMIG distributed 4.3% of its profits.

In 2019, in accordance with the terms of the Collective Agreement, CEMIG distributed 4% of its profits, with the possibility of an increase of another 20% of the value of this profit that exceeds the budget, reaching the maximum limit to be distributed of 7.5% of the Consolidated Net Income.

The calculation of the profit-sharing distribution will be based on the Result of Indicators, and the payment will be made 100% in proportion to the individual remuneration of each employee among all the employees represented by the signatory entities of the referred agreement.

Distribution will occur only if at least 70% of the goals are achieved as a whole, observing the relative weight of each of the indicators. The basket of indicators for the year 2020 contains 10 corporate indicators.

 

Benefits

CEMIG provides its employees a range of benefits, such as reimbursement of disability-related expenses of employees and/or their dependents, funeral assistance in the event of death of an employee or of his or her direct dependents, and payment of part of the employee’s contribution to the complementary pension plan. In 2021, a total of R$173 million was paid in employee benefits, comprising R$86 million in contributions to the pension plan and R$87 million in assistance benefits.

 

Voluntary Retirement Programs

On May 2021, the Company approved the Programmed Voluntary Retirement Plan for 2021 (‘the 2021 PDVP’). All the employees are eligible to join the program, except as provided for in the Program, from May 10 to 31, 2021. The program provided the standard legal payments for voluntary termination of employment and a bonus, as an indemnity, which is calculated by the application of a percentage determined by the length of time the employee has worked for Cemig, on the current remuneration, for each year of employment, according to the Program terms, and, for those employees whose job tenure in Cemig is longer than 36 years, the value of 10.5 remunerations. The program has reached 324 employees and the Company expects to save approximately R$35 million per year. 

In April 2020, the Company approved the Voluntary Programmed Separation Plan for 2020 (PDVP 2020). Those eligible - all employees who had worked at the Company for 25 years or more by December 31, 2020 - were able to join from May 4 to May 22, 2020. The program paid the standard legal severance pay per termination agreement, being 50% of the notice period, an amount equal to 20% of the Base Value of the employee's FGTS fund, an additional premium equal to 50% of the notice period, plus 20% of the Base Value of the FGTS fund, as well as other payments foreseen in the legislation. The program has reached 396 employees and the Company expects to save approximately R$100 million per year.

In December 2019, the Company created the Programmed Voluntary Retirement Plan (PDVP 2019). Eligible employees – all employees who worked at the Company for 25 years or more as of December 31, 2019 – were able to join the program between January 7 and January 31, 2019. The PDVP provided for the payment of the legal severance payments, including indemnified notice, deposit of the amount corresponding to a fine of 40% of the FGTS base amount for retirement purposes and other charges provided by the legislation, with no provision for payment of additional premium. In March 2019, the Company approved the reopening of the PDVP 2019, with the adhesion period between April 1 and 10, 2019, and changes to the requirements for adhesion, keeping the other conditions unchanged. The program reached 613 employees and the Company expects savings of approximately R$150 million per year.

Health and Safety

As a result of the various initiatives and programs from CEMIG, focused on health and safety at work, accident indicators have shown a significant reduction over the last years. The corporate indicator Frequency Rate of Work Related Injuries with Absence (‘TFA’) of the workforce, reached 1.17 in December, 2021, best result achieved by the company in the last seven years, signaling a decrease of 29.52% compared to the result recorded in 2020 and 23.02% under the limit set by the company of 1.52.

It is also important notice that in 2021 the Coronavirus pandemic had its highest peaks of cases and challenge for the company's regular activities remained, resulting in measures adoption and protocols created in 2020, by the company's health area. These protocols were adopted to ensure business continuity, since the service is essential, and safeguard the health is integrity of the entire Workforce.

 

In 2020, the Frequency Rate of Work-Related Injuries with Absence ('TFA'), in relation to the workforce, was 1.52 accidents per million hours worked, 8.43% lower than in 2019 and 10.14% above the limit of 1.38.

Since CEMIG was formed, its operations have been influenced by the fact that it is controlled by the government of the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais. Its operations have had and will continue to have an important impact in the development of trade and industry of Minas Gerais and on the social conditions in the State. Occasionally in the past the Minas Gerais state government has oriented the company to dedicate itself to certain activities and make certain expenditures specifically designed to promote the social, political, or economic objectives of the government of the State of Minas Gerais, and not necessarily destined to generate profit for CEMIG, and there is the possibility that the state government may orient us in this direction in the future. See “Item 3. Material Information – Risk factors – Risks Relating to CEMIG – We are controlled by the government of the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais, which might have interests that are different from the interests of the other investors, or even of the Company”.

As of April 30, 2022 CEMIG, had 1 registered holder of common shares represented by ADRs who were registered in the United States, holding a total of 1,554,972 common shares; and 12 registered holders of preferred shares represented by ADRs who were registered in the United States, holding a total of 215,794,183 preferred shares.

Although the by-laws do not make any restriction on a change in control of CEMIG, under the legislation of the State of Minas Gerais such a change would require a state law authorizing the change of control. Since CEMIG is controlled by the State, any sale that results in the state government not holding more than 50% of the voting shares of CEMIG (or any other transaction that could transfer the control of CEMIG, in whole or in part), requires approval by legislation specifically authorizing this change, made by the legislative power of Minas Gerais, approved by a minimum of 60% of the members of the State Assembly; and this authorization must then also be approved by the local citizens in a referendum.

We are not aware of any other significant alterations in percentages of shares held by holders of 5% or more of our voting shares in circulation during the last three years.

 

Related Party Transactions

During the regular course of our business, we engage in transactions with related parties, some of which are of a recurring nature. The following summarizes the material transactions we engage in with our principal shareholders and their affiliates.

CEMIG is party to the following transactions with related parties (refer to Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements for more details):

·Sale of energy supply to the Minas Gerais State government. The price of the supply is set by the grantor (ANEEL) through a Resolution relating to the annual tariff adjustment of Cemig D. In 2017 the government of Minas Gerais State signed a debt recognition agreement with Cemig D for payment of debts relating to the supply of power due and unpaid, in the amount of R$113 million, up to November 2019. These receivables have guarantees in the form of CEMIG’s right to retain dividends and Interest on Equity otherwise payable to the State (in proportion to the State’s equity interest in the Company), for as long as any payments are overdue or in default.

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

The Company, in particular CEMIG GT and CEMIG D, are involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings regarding tax, regulatory, customer, administrative, environmental, employment-law and other issues, in relation to its business. In accordance with IFRS, we record and disclose the amounts of the proceedings that we have determined a loss to ‘probable’ and disclose the amounts of the proceedings in which we have determined a loss to be ‘possible’; to the extent, these amounts can be reasonably estimated. For more information regarding such contingencies, see Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Regulatory Matters

CEMIG and CEMIG D are parties in lawsuits arising from clauses of energy supply contracts for public lighting, signed with various municipalities in the concession area. These actions request restitution of a portion of amounts charged in the last 20 years, in the event that the courts recognize that these amounts were unduly charged. The proceedings are based on an alleged mistake by CEMIG in the estimate of time used for the calculation of the consumption of energy by public lighting paid for by the Public Lighting Contribution (Contribuição de Iluminação Pública, or ‘CIP‘). On December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions was approximately R$1.269 billion, and the probability of loss were assessed as ‘possible’, since, although the case law is amply in favor of CEMIG, it has not been definitively consolidated.

CEMIG GT filed an application to be included a joint defendant in a lawsuit brought by AES Sul against ANEEL, seeking annulment of ANEEL Dispatch No. 288/2002, which set the guidelines for interpretation of ANEEL Resolution No. 290/2000, and thus changed the situation of AES Sul Distribuidora, from creditor to debtor of the Wholesale Energy Market (Mercado Atacadista de Energia, or ‘MAE’), predecessor of the present CCEE. CEMIG GT obtained an interim decision to suspend the deposit that had been ordered in favor of AES, determined in the process of financial settlement, for the historic amount. The application to be joined as a party was granted and CEMIG GT is a co-litigant with Centrais Elétricas de Santa Catarina S.A. (‘CELESC’) in the principal case (‘Ordinary Action’), resulting in CEMIG D being able to present petitions and appeals in that action if necessary. A Special Appeal was filed against the decision allowing for CEMIG D’s joinder before the STJ, which awaits judgment. This appeal does not prevent CEMIG GT from acting in the case to which it was admitted. Judgment at first instance was given against said Ordinary Action, and AES filed an appeal, which was granted. The Appeal Court Judgment on the appeal was the subject of a Motion for Clarification by CEMIG GT, on which judgment was given (cognizance taken, and appeal granted in part as to confirmation that only ANEEL should bear the costs of loser’s fees). As to the merits of the question, an appeal was lodged (against non-unanimous decision by an appellate court), which awaits judgment. On December 31, 2021, the amount involved in the action was R$ 437 million, and the probability of loss were assessed as ‘possible’ since there is still the possibility of the second instance decision being modified in the appeals that are currently awaiting judgment.

Company and its subsidiaries are involved in numerous administrative and judicial proceedings, challenging, principally: (i) tariff charges in invoices for use of the distribution system by a self-producer; (ii) alleged violation of targets for continuity indicators in retail supply of energy; and (iii) the tariff increase made during the federal government’s economic stabilization plan referred to as the ‘Cruzado Plan’, in 1986. On December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the contingency is approximately R$ 337 million (R$293 million on December 31, 2020), of which R$48 million (R$52 million on December 31, 2020) has been recorded as provision – the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes.

 

Tariff Increases

The Federal Public Attorneys’ Office filed a class action against CEMIG D and ANEEL, to avoid exclusion of customers from classification in the Low-income Residential Tariff Sub-category and requesting an order for CEMIG D to pay 200% of the amount allegedly paid in excess by customers in that sub-category. Judgment at first instance was given in favor of the Federal Public Attorneys, and CEMIG D and ANEEL have filed an appeal with TRF. A decision by the Court in this case has been pending since March 2008. As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved in this case was approximately R$413 million the chance of loss has been classified as ‘possible’ due to the existence of other judgments, both in the judiciary and in the administrative sphere, that are in favor of the argument put forward by CEMIG D.

 

Tax and Similar Charges

CEMIG, CEMIG GT and CEMIG D are parties in various legal actions disputing the applicability of the Urban Land Tax (Imposto Territorial Urbano, or ‘IPTU’), on Real estate properties designed for public service concessions. This is a matter on which case law has not been established by the higher courts. There is an Extraordinary Appeal awaiting judgment by the Federal Supreme Court which, because it will give rise to a global precedent, will be applied to the other legal actions involving the same question. As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions for which probability of loss were assessed as ‘probable’ totaled approximately R$3 million and the proceedings in which the probability of loss were assessed ‘possible’ totaled approximately R$84 million.

In 2006, CEMIG, CEMIG GT and CEMIG D advanced funds to some of their employees in exchange for their rights to future payments, referred to as the ‘Anuênio.’ No income tax or social security contributions were collected in connection with those payments, since it is our opinion that they are not applicable The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, however, initiated an administrative proceeding seeking to levy taxes on such payments. In order to avoid the risk of imposition of penalties, we filed two writs for mandamus, which were decided unfavorably to us in the lower court. We have appealed and are awaiting the ruling of the Court of Appeals on whether the income tax is applicable. Regarding the social security contributions, the TRF ruled against us. We appealed to the Superior Courts, which have not yet rendered a decision. On December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions was, approximately, R$302 million, and we have assessed the chance of loss as ‘possible’, in view of the indemnity nature of the advance payments made to the employees and the absence of specific case law in STJ and the TRF of the First Region. We emphasize that, in relation to Income Tax, both the STJ and the TRF of the First Region adopt the position that there is no tax levied on payments arising from the suppression of employees’ collective bargaining rights when agreed through a collective agreement, since such amounts are considered as being of an indemnity nature.

INSS initiated an administrative proceeding against CEMIG in 2006 alleging non-payment of the social security contribution on the amounts paid to our employees and directors as profit-sharing in the period 1998 to 2004. In 2007, we filed a writ of mandamus seeking declaration that such profit-sharing payments were not subject to social security contributions. We received a partial favorable decision in 2008, which declared non-applicability of the contribution of social security on the profit-sharing amounts paid for employees, and its applicability on the profit-sharing amounts paid to directors. We have appealed the decision and, on August 23, 2019, the TRF of the 1st Region issued a ruling giving partial approval to declare the decay of tax credits related to taxable events that occurred up to August 2001 but denying the other requests. As a result of that decision, on December 31, 2021, the amount involved in this action was assessed as approximately R$144 million, and we have assessed the chance of loss as ‘probable’.

The Brazilian Federal Tax Authority (‘Secretaria da Receita Federal’) has brought, in addition to the process mentioned above, other administrative proceedings against CEMIG, CEMIG GT, CEMIG D and Rosal Energia S.A., in relation to Social Security contributions under various headings: employee profit sharing, the Workers’ Food Program (Programa de Alimentação do Trabalhador, or ‘PAT’), the education support contribution (‘auxílio-educação’), time-of-service bonuses, Special Additional Retirement payments, taxes under suspended enforcement, overtime payments, hazardous occupation payments, matters related to Sest/Senat (transport workers’ support programs), donations, sponsorships, and fines for non-compliance with accessory obligations. We have presented defenses and wait for judgment. As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions was approximately R$1.4 billion. As a result of the decision by the TRF of the 1st Region mentioned above, the amounts for which probability of loss were assessed as ‘probable’ totaled approximately R$1.128 billion and the proceedings in which the probability of loss were assessed ‘possible’ totaled approximately R$282 million.

CEMIG, CEMIG GT, CEMIG D and Sá Carvalho S.A. are parties in administrative proceedings in relation to Corporate Income Tax (‘IRPJ’) and the Social Contribution on Net income (‘CSLL’). As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions were assessed as approximately R$453.9 million, and the probability of loss assessed as ‘possible’. The infringement notices for the Social Contribution (CSLL) tax are due in particular to the companies having excluded from their declared basis of calculation for this tax, amounts relating to: (i) cultural and artistic donations and sponsorship; (ii) payments of punitive fines; (iii) taxes with liability suspended; and (iv) expenses on amortization of goodwill, since there is no provision in law that supports taxation of amounts reported under this heading. The infringement notices for corporate income tax are due to the fact that when calculating the real profit, the companies considered as expenses the amounts spent on technological innovation, under Law 11,196/05. The Trade and Industry Ministry (‘MCTI’), which initially, due to lack of information, had not recognized this legal categorization of these amounts, is reviewing its legal opinions now that it is in possession of the information sent by the companies.

The Federal Tax Authority issued an infringement notice on Parati – Participações em Ativos de Energia Elétrica (‘Parati’), a CEMIG affiliated company, and as a jointly responsible party, on CEMIG, in relation to the Withholding Income Tax (Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte, or ‘IRRF’) allegedly applicable to capital gains arising from the disposal of assets or rights in Brazil by a non-resident, on the basis of allegedly being the legal entity responsible for the withholding and payment of the tax. The transaction in question was in regard to the purchase by Parati, and sale by Enlighted, on July 7, 2011, of a 100% interest in Lepsa LLC (a company headquartered in Delaware, USA). Lepsa LLC was also the owner of 75% of the quotas of Luce Brasil Fundo de Investimento em Participações (‘FIP Luce’), which in turn was the indirect holder, through Luce Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., of approximately 13.03% of the total and voting share of Light (Light, which has only issued common shares). After certain transactions, Parati became the direct holder of 100% of the shares of Luce Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. (LEPSA), which in turn was the holder of approximately 13.03% of the voting share and total share capital of Light. After successive corporate transactions, Parati was merged into CEMIG and, consequently, succeed its position in this process. On May 2, 2016, the Delegated Judgment office of the Federal Tax Authority decided on the challenge presented by Parati and CEMIG: it maintained the posting of the tax credit against Parati, and in relation to CEMIG, it upheld the principle of joint liability. The companies then appealed, and the Voluntary Appeal is pending judgment by CARF. As of December 31, 2021, the amount claimed in this case totaled approximately R$239 million and the chance of loss was assessed as ‘possible’, mainly due to the matters of fact: (i) on the question of simulation, the situation in this specific case is more favorable than that in the precedents that are found in the case law. If the allegation of simulation is overturned, we believe that there will be no legal case for the demand for payment; (ii) on the merit, because this is a very specific transaction, there are no similar precedents; and (iii) with regards to the fine, the same arguments hold as to the singular nature of this specific case.

CEMIG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, especially CEMIG GT and CEMIG D, are parties in various court and administrative proceedings dealing with offsetting of credits arising from tax losses in corporate income tax returns, and payments made in excess, identified by Federal Revenue Payment or Credit Receipts, involving corporate income tax, the Social Contribution on net income and the PIS and Cofins taxes. The companies are contesting the non-ratification by the authorities of these offsetting and attempts by the federal tax authorities to recover the amounts of these taxes to be compensated. On December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these for which the probability of loss was assessed ‘possible’ totaled approximately R$198 million.

CEMIG and its subsidiaries are involved in numerous administrative and judicial claims actions relating to taxes, including, among other matters, subjects relating to the Rural Property Tax (‘ITR’); the Tax on Donations and Legacies (‘ITCD’); the Social Integration Program (Programa de Integração Social, or ‘PIS’); the Contribution to Finance Social Security (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social, or ‘Cofins’); Corporate Income tax (‘Imposto de Renda Pessoa Jurídica’, or ‘IRPJ’); the Social Contribution (‘Contribuição Social sobre o Lucro Líquido’, or ‘CSLL’); and motions to tax enforcement. As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions for which probability of loss were assessed as ‘probable’ totaled approximately R$19 million and the proceedings in which the probability of loss were assessed ‘possible’ totaled approximately R$355 million.

 

ICMS (local state value added tax)

From December 2019 to November 2021 the Tax Authority of Minas Gerais State issued infraction notices against the subsidiary Gasmig, in the total amount of R$357 million, relating to reduction of the calculation base of ICMS tax in the sale of natural gas to its customers over the period from December 2014 to September 2021, alleging a divergence between the form of calculation used by Gasmig and the opinion of that tax authority. The claims comprise: principal of R$124 million, penalty payments of R$201 million and interest of R$32 million.

Considering that the State of Minas Gerais, over a period of more than 25 years, has never made any allegations against the methodology of calculation by the Company, the managers, together with their legal advisers, believe that there is a defense under Article 100, III of the National Tax Code, which removes claims for penalties and interest; and that the contingency for loss related to these amounts is ‘remote’. In relation to the argument on the difference between the amount of ICMS tax calculated by Gasmig and the new interpretation by the state tax authority, the probability of loss was considered ‘possible’. In July 2021, Gasmig filed a lawsuit against the State of Minas Gerais. The infraction notices are suspended until the merits of the action are determined. On December 31, 2021 the amount of the contingency for the period relating to the rules on expiry by limitation of time is R$140 million.

Contracts

CEMIG D is a party in court disputes involving claims for rebalancing of contracts to implement part of the rural electrification program known as Luz Para Todos (‘Light for All’). As of December 31, 2021, the amount involved in these actions was approximately R$419 million. The amounts for which probability of loss were assessed as ‘probable’ totaled approximately R$1 million and the proceedings in which the probability of loss were assessed ‘possible’ totaled approximately R$419 million.

CEMIG and the State of Minas Gerais are parties in an administrative proceeding filed by the Audit Court of the State of Minas Gerais (‘TCMG’), on a representation of supposed irregularities in the manner used for application of arrears interest, and in the percentage of discount given, at the time of the settlement of the debt owed by the State of Minas Gerais to CEMIG in relation to the Contract for Assignment of the Outstanding Balance Receivable on the Earnings Compensation Account (‘CRC’). In August 2021, the Court of Audit of the State of Minas Gerais published a decision recognizing the statute of limitations for punitive and reparatory actions, since no decision on the merits of the case had been rendered in more than five years from the first cause interrupting the statute of limitations. On November 18, 2021 the proceeding was terminated.

 

Employment Law Obligations

CEMIG, CEMIG GT and CEMIG D are parties in various labor claims filed by their employees and by employees of companies that provide them with services. Most of these claims relate to overtime and additional pay, severance payments, various benefits, salary adjustments and the effects of such matters on a supplementary retirement plan, and the use of outsourced labor. Under Brazilian employment laws, claimants must file claims for any unpaid amounts to which they are entitled within two years from the relevant termination of the employment contract, and such rights are limited to a period of five years prior to the filing of the claim. On December 31, 2021, the value of the claims for which the probability of loss had been assessed as ‘probable’ was approximately R$404 million; for those with probability of loss assessed as ‘possible’ the amount was R$1.167 billion.

 

Alteration of the monetary updating index of labor claims

The Higher Labor Appeal Court (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, or ‘TST’), considering a position adopted by the Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal, ‘STF’) in two actions on constitutionality that dealt with the index for monetary updating of federal debts, decided on August 4, 2015 that labor claims not yet decided that discuss debts subsequent to June 30, 2009 should be updated based on the variation of the IPCA-E (‘Expanded National Customer Price’) Index, rather than of the TR reference interest rate. On October 16, 2015, an interim injunction was given by the STF that suspended the effects of the TST decision, on the grounds that decisions on matters of general constitutional importance should be decided exclusively by the STF. In a public joint judgment of November 1, 2018, the Higher Employment Appeal Court decided that the IPCA-E should be adopted as the index for inflation adjustment of employment-law debts for cases proceedings filed from March 25, 2015 to November 10, 2017 and the TR continue to be used for the other periods.

However, in December 2020, the Federal Supreme Court, aiming to end the discussion around the topic involving the updating index of labor claims, gave partial judgment in favor of two actions for declaration of constitutionality, deciding for the unconstitutionality of Reference Rate (TR) and ruled that monetary adjustment applied to employment-law liabilities should be by the IPCA-E index until the filing date of the lawsuit, and thereafter by application of the Selic rate. The effects of this decision were modulated as follows: (a) payments already made in due time and in the appropriate manner, using application of the TR, the IPCA-E or any other indexer, will remain valid and may not be the subject of any further contestation; (b) actions in progress that are at the discovery phase, should be subject to backdated application of the Selic rate, on penalty of future allegation of non-demandability of judicial title based on an interpretation contrary to the position of the Supreme Court; and; (c) the decision is automatically applicable to actions in which final judgment has been given against which there is no appeal, provided that there is no express submission in relation to the monetary adjustment indices and interest rates; and this also applies to cases of express omission, or simple consideration of following the legal criteria.

Dividend Policy and Payments

Mandatory Dividend—Priority and Amount of Dividends

Under our by-laws, we are required to pay to our shareholders, as mandatory dividends, 50% of the net income of each fiscal year ending December 31, determined in accordance with Law No. 6,404, enacted on December 15, 1976, or ‘Brazilian Corporate Law’. Our preferred shares have priority in the allocation of the minimum mandatory dividend for the period in question. The order of priority of the dividend distribution is as follows:

The annual minimum dividend for the preferred shares: these have preference in the event of repurchase of shares, and have an annual minimum dividend equal to the greater of the following:

·10% of their par value; or
·3% of the shareholders’ equity associated with it;
·The dividends on the common shares, up to the minimum percentage for the preferred shares.

 

On September 22 and December 23, 2020, the Company declared payment of Interest on Capital in the amount of R$553 million, on account of the amount of the minimum mandatory dividend for 2020, and payable to shareholders whose names were on the Company’s Nominal Share Registry on September 22 and December 30, 2020. This amount will be paid in two installments, the first by June 30, 2021 and the second by December 30, 2021. The Board of Directors decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on April 30, 2021. The payment of dividends for the year 2020 of R$929 million, to holders whose names are in the Company´s Nominal Share Registry on the date of the AGM. The payment of dividends was made in two installments, the first by June 30, 2021 and the second by December 29, 2021.

On December 7, 2021, the Company declared payment of Interest on Capital in the amount of R$ 955 million, on account of the amount of the minimum mandatory dividend for 2021, and payable to shareholders whose names were on the Company’s Nominal Share Registry on December 21, 2021. This amount will be paid in two installments, the first by June 30, 2022 and the second by December 30, 2022. The Board of Directors proposed to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on April 29, 2022 the payment of dividends for the year 2021 of R$1.012 million, to holders whose names are in the Company´s Nominal Share Registry on the date of the AGM. The payment of dividends will be made by December 30, 2022, in accordance with the availability of cash and at the decision of the Executive Board.

Unrealized profit reserve: Article 197 of the Brazilian corporate law nº 6,404/76 allows the Company to pay the mandatory dividend, calculated as required by the Bylaws, up to the amounts of the realized portion of the net income for the year (received in cash). The excess between such mandatory dividend amount and the dividends that will be actually paid was recorded in the ‘Unrealized profit reserve’.

In 2020, Company presented a positive net share of profit of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and affiliates of R$2,704 million, which can be regarded as unrealized portion of net income for the year, in accordance with the Brazilian corporate law. The share of profit of subsidiaries and joint ventures might not be realized in 2021, which means it might not be converted into cash, considering the macro-economic scenario and the fact that the impacts of Covid-19 – coronavirus on investees’ cash flows and financial results may continue in 2021.

Considering the realized profit for the year, as stated above, Management proposed the constitution of unrealized profit reserve will be maintained with a balance in the amount of R$835 million, considering the reversal of the reserve constituted in 2019 and the new constitution of the same amount in 2020.

The unrealized profit reserve amounts can only be used to pay mandatory dividends. Hence, when the Company realizes such profits in cash, it must distribute the corresponding dividend in the subsequent period, after offsetting of any losses in subsequent years.

Table of Contents 
 

Without prejudice to the mandatory dividend, every two years, or shorter period if the Company’s cash position permits, we distribute extraordinary dividends, up to the limit of the cash available, as determined by the Board of Directors, under the Company’s Strategic Guidelines Plan and the dividend policy specified in that plan.

The annual dividends declared shall be paid in two equal installments, the first by June 30 and the second by December 30 of each year. Extraordinary dividends shall be paid as decided by the Board of Directors, according to the same deadline.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, the Board of Directors may declare interim dividends, in the form of interest on capital, to be paid from retained earnings, accumulated reserves or profit reported in semi-annual or quarterly financial statements. Any interim dividend paid may be set off against the amount of the mandatory dividend payable for the fiscal year in which the interim dividend was paid.

In the fiscal years in which we do not have sufficient profit to pay dividends to our preferred and common shareholders, the State of Minas Gerais guarantees a minimum dividend of 6% of the par value of the preferred or common shares, respectively, per year to all shares of the Company issued until August 5, 2004 and held by individuals.

 

Amounts Available for Distribution

The amount available for distribution is calculated based on the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the procedures described below.

The mandatory dividend is calculated based on adjusted net income, defined as net income after taking onto account: (a) amounts allocated to the legal reserve, (b) amounts allocated to record contingency reserves and reversal of these reserves accumulated in prior fiscal years, and (c) any unrealized profit transferred to the unrealized profit reserve account, and any amounts previously posted to this reserve account which have been realized in the fiscal year and used to offset losses.

We are obligated to maintain a legal reserve of 5% of the net income of each fiscal year until it reaches 20% of the Company’s social capital according to Article 193 of Brazilian Corporate Law. However, we are not obligated to make any allocation to the legal reserve in relation to any fiscal year in which the sum of the legal reserve and the other established capital reserves exceeds 30% of the Company’s total paid-in capital. Any loss for the year may be charged against the legal reserve.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, profits of subsidiaries or affiliates are accounted by the equity method and income from term sales, realizable after the end of the next fiscal year, are accounted for as unrealized profit.

The total of income reserves (except for the reserve for contingencies relating to expected losses, tax benefits and the unrealized profit reserve), the legal reserve, the special reserves, the reserve for investment projects, and retained earnings may not be greater than the Company’s registered capital. The amount in excess of our registered capital must be used to increase our registered capital or be distributed as cash dividends.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law and the by-laws of the Company, dividends not claimed within three years of the date on which they are distributed revert to the Company.

 

Interest on Equity

Brazilian corporations are permitted to distribute dividends in the form of a tax-deductible notional interest expense on shareholders’ equity in accordance with Law No. 9,249/1995 of December 26, 1995, as amended. The amount of tax-deductible interest that may be paid is calculated by applying the daily pro rata variation of the TJLP on the shareholders’ equity during the relevant period and cannot exceed the greater of:

·50.0% of net income (before taking into account such distribution and any deductions for income taxes and after taking into account any deductions for social contributions on net income) for the period in respect of which the payment is made; or
·50.0% of earnings reserves and retained earnings.

 

Non-resident’s shareholders must register with the Central Bank so that the foreign currency proceeds of their dividend, Interest on Capital payments, or of sale or other amounts relating to their shares, may be remitted to them outside Brazil. The preferred shares underlying our Preferred ADSs and the common shares underlying our Common ADSs are held in Brazil by the custodian bank, as agent for the depositary bank, which is the registered owner of the shares.

Dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity over the minimum established in a Company’s by-laws are recognized when approved by the shareholders in the general meeting.

 

Currency Exchange

Payments of cash dividends and distributions, if any, will be made in Reais to the custodian on behalf of the depositary bank, which will then convert such proceeds into U.S. dollars and transfer such U.S. dollars to the depositary bank for distribution to holders of ADRs. In the event that the custodian is unable to immediately convert the Reais received as dividends into U.S. dollars, the amount of U.S. dollars payable to the holders of ADRs may be adversely affected by devaluations of the Real that occur before such dividends are converted and remitted. The Real depreciated approximately 7.34 % in comparison to the U.S. dollar in 2021. See “Item 3, Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Brazil— The Federal Government exercises significant influence on the Brazilian economy, Political and economic conditions can have a direct impact on our business”.

Dividends in respect of the preferred shares and common shares paid to non-resident holders, including holders of Preferred ADSs and Common ADSs, are generally not subject to Brazilian withholding tax, although in general payments of interest on capital are subject to withholding tax. See “Item 10, Additional Information - Taxation - Brazilian Tax Considerations - Taxation of Dividends’ and ‘- U.S. Tax Considerations - Taxation of Distributions.” There is no specific record date upon which the depositary bank will determine the exchange rate to be used in connection with converting cash dividends or other cash distributions. Pursuant to the Deposit Agreements, the depositary bank will arrange for the funds to be converted into U.S. dollars upon receipt of notice of cash dividends or other cash distributions.

Since July 12, 2002, our shares have been traded on the LATIBEX, under the ticker symbol ‘XCMIG,’ The LATIBEX is an electronic trading market created in 1999 by the Madrid Stock Exchange to facilitate the trading market of Latin American Securities in Euros.

 

Trading on the B3 S.A. - BRASIL, BOLSA, BALCÃO (‘B3’)

The preferred shares and common shares are traded on the B3, the only Brazilian stock exchange that trades shares. Trading on the B3 is limited to brokerage firms and a limited number of authorized entities. The CVM and B3 have discretionary authority to suspend trading in shares of a particular issuer under certain circumstances.

Trading on the B3 is conducted between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (during daylight savings time in Brazil). The B3 also permits trading from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. during a different trading period called the ‘aftermarket’, except during daylight time. Trading during aftermarket is subject to regulatory limits on price volatility and on the volume of shares transacted through internet brokers.

If you were to trade in the preferred shares or common shares on the B3, your trade is settled in three business days after the date of the trade. Delivery of and payment for shares is made through the facilities of a separate clearinghouse, which maintains accounts for brokerage firms. The seller is ordinarily required to deliver the shares to the exchange on the second business day following the date of the trade. The clearing house for the B3 is the Câmara de Ações (previously organized as Companhia Brasileira de Liquidação e Custódia, or ‘CBLC’).

In order to better control volatility, the B3 has adopted a ‘circuit breaker’ system pursuant to which trading sessions may be suspended (i) for a period of 30 minutes whenever the index of this stock exchange falls more than 10% from the index registered for the previous day; (ii) for one hour if the index of this stock exchange falls 15% or more from the index registered for the previous day, after the reopening of trading; and (iii) for a certain period of time to be defined by the B3, if the index of this stock exchange falls 20% or more from the index registered for the previous day, after the reopening of trading. The minimum and maximum price is based on a reference price for each asset, which will be the previous session’s closing quote, when considering the asset at the beginning of the day before the first trade, or the price of the day’s first trade. The asset’s reference price will be altered during the session if there is an auction sparked by the intraday limit being breached. In this case, the reference price will become whatever results from the auction.

B3 settles the sale of shares three business days after they have taken place, without monetary adjustment of the purchase price. The shares are paid for and delivered through a settlement agent affiliated with the B3. The B3 performs multilateral compensation for both the financial obligations and the delivery of shares. According to the B3’s regulations, financial settlement is carried out by the Central Bank’s reserve transfer system. The securities are transferred by the B3’s custody system. Both delivery and payment are final and irrevocable.

Trading on the B3 is significantly less liquid than trading on the NYSE or other major exchanges in the world. Although any of the outstanding shares of a listed company may trade on the B3, in most cases fewer than half of the listed shares are available for trading by the public, the remainder being held by a controlling group or by government entities.

Trading on the B3 by a holder not deemed to be domiciled in Brazil for Brazilian tax and regulatory purposes, or a ‘non-Brazilian holder,’ is subject to certain limitations under Brazilian foreign investment regulations. With limited exceptions, non-Brazilian holders may trade on Brazilian stock exchanges in accordance with the requirements of CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, which requires that securities held by non-Brazilian holders be maintained in the custody of financial institutions authorized by the Central Bank and by the CVM or in deposit accounts with financial institutions. In addition, Resolution No. 4,373/2014 requires non-Brazilian holders to restrict their securities trading to transactions on the B3 or qualified over the counter markets. With limited exceptions, non-Brazilian holders may not transfer the ownership of investments made under Resolution No. 4,373/2014 to other non-Brazilian holders through a private transaction.

We have been a member of Special Corporate Governance Level 1 of the B3 since October 2001. The rules regarding such corporate governance segment are comprised by the Special Corporate Governance Level 1 Regulations (‘Regulamento de Listagem do Nível 1 de Governança Corporativa’), which were amended on March 21, 2011 by B3 and approved by the CVM. Such revised set of rules became effective on May 10, 2011. Among the obligations that are contemplated by such regulations, we are required to:

Present our consolidated statement of financial position, Standardized Financial Statements – DFP, consolidated statement of income, quarterly financial statements – ITR, and the Reference Form (‘Formulário de Referência’);
Include, in the notes to our quarterly financial statements, a note regarding related party transactions, containing the disclosure provided in the applicable accounting rules to annual financial statements;
Disclose any direct or indirect ownership interest per type and class exceeding 5% of each type and class of the Company’s capital share, to the level of individual shareholders, once the Company has been provided with such information;
Disclose the amount of free float shares and their respective percentage in relation to total shares outstanding, which shall be of at least 25% of shares representing our capital share;
Disclose, by December 10th of each year, an annual timetable of corporate events, containing, at a minimum, the date of (a) acts and corporate events, (b) public meetings with analysts and other applicable parties, and (c) disclosure of financial information scheduled for the next fiscal year, any changes in scheduled events must be notified to the B3 and to the public at least 5 days in advance;
Hold at least one annual meeting with market analysts and any other interested parties to disclose information about their economic and financial situation, projects and perspectives;
Prepare, disclose and submit to the B3, a securities trading policy and a code of conduct establishing the values and principles that guide the Company, the controlling shareholder, the members of the board of directors and of the Fiscal Council, when installed, and members of any bodies with technical or advisory functions created the by-laws;
 
173 
Table of Contents 
 
Establish that the term of office of our board of directors shall not exceed two years, with reelection being permitted;
Have different persons occupying the positions of chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer or main executive officer of our company;
Adopt mechanisms that provide for capital dispersion in any public share offerings through the adoption of special procedures, such as guaranteeing access to all interested investors or distributing to non-institutional individuals or investors of at least 10% of the total to be distributed; and
Include in our by-laws the mandatory provisions required by B3.

 

Disclosure of Trading by Insiders

Brazilian securities regulations require our controlling shareholders, management, members of our Fiscal Council and any other technical or advisory body to disclose to us, the CVM and the B3 the number and types of securities issued by us, our subsidiaries and our controlling companies that are held by them or by persons closely related to them and any changes in their respective ownership positions during the preceding 12 months. The information regarding the trading of such securities (amount, price, and date of acquisition) must be provided to the CVM and the B3 by the Company within 10 days of the end of the month in which they occurred or of the month in which the managers of the Company were empowered.

 

Disclosure of Material Developments

Under the Brazilian securities legislation, we are required to publicly disclose any material act or fact related to our business, to CVM and to B3. We are also required to publish an announcement of such material acts or facts (in newspapers or on news websites). An act or fact is considered material if it has a material impact on: the price of our securities; the decision of investors to buy, sell or hold our securities; or the decision of investors to exercise any rights as holder of any of our securities. Under extraordinary circumstances, material acts or facts may in practice not be disclosed if the controlling shareholders or the management believes that revealing them would put the Company’s legitimate interests at risk, provided that such controlling shareholders or managers must immediately publicize the material act or fact if they lose control over the information or in case of atypical alterations on share prices or on the amount of shares traded.

Trading on Brazilian stock exchanges by non-residents in Brazil is subject to limitations under the Brazilian law on foreign investment. See the section “Item 10. Additional information – Foreign exchange controls”.

 

Regulation of Brazilian Securities Markets

The Brazilian securities markets are principally governed by Law No. 6,385, enacted on December 7, 1976, and the Brazilian Corporate Law, each as amended and supplemented, and by regulations issued by the CVM, the National Monetary Council (CMN), and the Central Bank, which has, among other powers, licensing authority over brokerage firms, and which regulates foreign investments and foreign exchange transactions. These laws and regulations, among others, provide for disclosure requirements applicable to issuers of traded securities, protection of minority shareholders and criminal penalties for insider trading and price manipulation. They also provide for licensing and oversight of brokerage firms and governance of the Brazilian stock exchanges.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, a corporation is either public (‘companhia aberta’), such as we are, or a closed company (‘companhia fechada’). All public companies, including us, are registered with the CVM and are subject to reporting requirements. A company registered with the CVM may have its securities traded on the Brazilian stock exchanges or in the Brazilian over-the-counter market. Our common shares are listed and traded on the B3 and may be traded privately subject to some limitations between individuals in which a financial institution registered with the CVM serves as intermediary.

 
174 
Table of Contents 
 

We have the option to request that trading in our securities on the B3 be suspended in anticipation of a material announcement. Trading may also be suspended on the initiative of the B3, or the CVM based on or due to, among other reasons, a belief that a company has provided inadequate information regarding a material event or has provided inadequate responses to inquiries by the CVM or the stock exchange.

The Brazilian over the counter market consists of direct trades between individuals in which a financial institution registered with the CVM serves as intermediary. No special application, other than registration with the CVM, is necessary for securities of a public company to be traded in this market. The CVM requires that it be given notice of all trades carried out in the Brazilian over the counter market by the respective intermediaries.

Trading on the B3 by non-residents of Brazil is subject to limitations under Brazilian foreign investment and tax legislation. The Brazilian custodian for the preferred shares or the common shares must register with the Central Bank of Brazil to be eligible for the remittance of funds in U.S. dollars abroad for payments of dividends, any other cash disbursements, or upon the disposition of the shares and sales proceeds thereof. In the event of a holder of Preferred ADSs exchanges it is Preferred ADSs for preferred shares or a holder of Common ADSs exchanges it is Common ADSs for common shares, the investor will need to apply for registration, as required by Resolution No. 4,373, enacted on September 29, 2014, which regulates investments in Brazilian financial and securities markets by foreigners. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Exchange Controls”.

 

Disclosure Requirements

The CVM Rule No. 358, of January 3, 2002, establishes some requirements regarding the disclosure and use of information related to material facts and acts of publicly held companies, including the disclosure of information on the trading and acquisition of securities issued by publicly held companies. Among others, these requirements include provisions that:

Establish the concept of a material fact that gives rise to reporting requirements. Material facts include decisions made by the controlling shareholders, resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders and of management of the company, or any other facts related to the company’s business (whether occurring within the company or otherwise somehow related thereto) that may influence the price of its publicly traded securities, or the decision of investors to trade those securities or to exercise any of those securities’ underlying rights;
Specify examples of facts that are considered to be material, which include, among others, the execution of shareholders’ agreements providing for the transfer of control, the entry or withdrawal of shareholders that maintain any managing, financial, technological or administrative function with or contribution to the company, and any corporate restructuring undertaken among related companies;
Oblige the investor relations officer, controlling shareholders, other officers, directors, members of the audit committee and other advisory boards to disclose material facts;
Require simultaneous disclosure of material facts to all markets in which the corporation’s securities are admitted for trading;
Require the acquirer of a controlling stake in a corporation to publish material facts, including its intentions as to whether or not to de-list the corporation’s shares, within one year;
Establish rules regarding disclosure requirements in the acquisition and disposal of a material shareholding stake; and
Restrict the use of insider information.

CEMIG’s Compliance and Corporate Governance System

CEMIG seeks to keep its compliance and corporate governance system aligned to best market practices. Over recent years, the Company has been enhancing its system of governance. This includes all the requirements specified in Federal Law 13,303/16 (‘the State Companies Law’). Under this law, all companies that are controlled or partly owned by the state, and their subsidiaries, have the obligation to comply with rules on corporate governance, contracting of outsourced entities or individuals, and public competitions.

The Compliance Policy establishes the directives for achieving these objectives, including among other matters: the role of Senior Management and the Company’s leadership; maintenance of documented rules and procedures; training and teaching in communication; implementation of internal controls; and availability of channels for consultations and reports of adverse behavior.

In terms of anti-corruption action, the Company’s most significant risks relating to fraud and corruption have been mapped, documented, and approved by Senior Management. In this mapping process, probabilities of materialization of risks are estimated, in accordance with their causes and the severity of the consequences if they occur, and the internal controls and measures related to mitigation of each risk are mapped.

The Internal Audit unit is responsible for periodically checking the compliance and effectiveness of functioning of the Company’s systems of internal controls, compliance, and risk management, including the risks and controls related to prevention of and combating corruption.

On its corporate intranet, CEMIG makes a group of rules and procedures permanently available to employees, which orient appropriate conduct by employees in management of processes and execution of all their activities.

The Company also has an Anonymous Reporting Channel, an Ombudsman, and an Ethics Committee, which are accessible for interactions with their internal and external public and able to record and deal with any ethical irregularities or dilemmas affecting operations.

Matters related to compliance are continually dealt with through the Company’s internal channels and mechanisms for communication and training. For this, we use several internal channels, including email, the intranet, CEMIG Online (newsletter) the Leadership Channel, banners, and WhatsApp. In 2021, with the impacts of the pandemic on the work environment, online means of communication were extremely important tools for increasing internal communications. We covered a range of subjects through articles, texts, webinars and videos, aiming to take highly important contents on the culture of integrity and compliance to everyone in the Company. Internal Policies and Procedures were also widely disseminated through these channels.

In 2021, the Ethics Committee Secretariat, responsible for managing the Company hotline and ethical complaints management, became a new attribution of the Compliance Management. Also, all employees must mandatorily receive the training on CEMIG’s Code of Conduct, every year.

In the last three years CEMIG carried out, its Compliance Maturity Survey. The aim of this survey is to assess the levels of knowledge on what compliance is, on CEMIG’s Compliance Policy, on adherence to our values (culture), and on employees’ perception in terms of CEMIG’s procedures for prevention, detection and response that are currently in place. Together, these dimensions express the maturity of compliance in the Company. The data resulting from the survey show us that there is attention and commitment on the part of employees in relation to compliance culture and behavior, recognition of its importance, and growing interest in the subject.

Finally, we highlight that CEMIG is a signatory to the UN Global Compact, of which principle number 10 is: ‘Work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery’.

 

Memorandum and Articles of Association

By-laws

We are a state-controlled company registered under the laws of Brazil. The registration number (‘NIRE’) given to us by the Board of Trade of Minas Gerais (Junta Comercial do Estado de Minas Gerais, or ‘Jucemg’) is 31300040127. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant provisions of (i) our by-laws, as amended by our general and special shareholders’ meeting in April 29, 2022 and (ii) Brazilian Corporate Law. The description of our by-laws contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to our by-laws, which have been filed as an exhibit to this annual report.

Objects and purpose

As described in Clause 1 of its by-laws, CEMIG was incorporated with four main objects:

i.To build, operate and make commercial use of systems for generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity, and related services;
ii.To operate in the various fields of energy, from whatever source, with a view to economic and commercial operation.
iii.To provide consultancy services within its field of operation to companies in and outside Brazil; and
iv.To carry out activities directly or indirectly related to its objects, including the development and commercial operation of telecommunication and information systems, technological research and development, and innovation.

 

Preferred Shares

Holders of preferred shares have the right to receive annual minimum dividends in an amount equal to the greater of 10% of the par value of each preferred share or 3% of the net worth value associated with each preferred share. Holders of our preferred shares also have priority over any other class of shares if we decide to redeem shares. A preferred share does not entitle its owner to vote at the General Shareholders’ Meetings.

 

Share Subscription

Shares purchased by the State Government, which must constitute at all times the majority of our voting shares, are paid for in accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law. Shares purchased by other shareholders (whether natural persons or legal entities) shall be paid for in accordance with the decision resulting from the general meeting of shareholders that addresses the matter.

Article 172 of the Brazilian Corporate Law provides that each shareholder has a general preemptive right to subscribe for new shares or convertible securities issued in any capital increase, in proportion to that shareholder’s shareholding, except in the event of the exercise of any option to acquire shares of our capital share. Shareholders must exercise their preemptive rights within 30 days of the publication of the notice of capital increase.

In the event of a capital increase, holders of Preferred ADSs, which represent preferred shares, and holders of Common ADSs, which represent common shares, have preemptive rights to subscribe only for newly issued preferred shares or common shares, respectively, in proportion to their shareholdings but may be unable to exercise those rights due to U.S. securities law restrictions. See “Item 3, Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Preferred Shares, Preferred ADSs, Common shares and Common ADSs—You may not be able to exercise preemptive rights with respect to our securities”.

 

Minority Shareholders

Our by-laws provide that the preferred and minority common shareholders are entitled to elect one member to the Board of Directors, respectively, in a separate vote in accordance with the applicable legislation, as more fully described in ‘—Rights of Shareholders—Rights of Minority Shareholders.’

 

Dividends

For a discussion of our dividend policy, see “Item 8, Financial Information—Dividend Policy and Payments.”

General Meetings of Shareholders

The general meetings of shareholders are held for the purposes provided for by law, specifically in the Brazilian Corporate Law. They take place within the first four months following the end of the business year and are called by prior notice of at least 15 days. The Corporate Law also specifies that the following decisions can be made only by the General Meeting of Shareholders:

·To changes the by-laws;
·To elect or dismiss, at any time, the members of the company’s management or Fiscal Council or committee, subject to sub-item II of Article 142 of the Corporate Law;
·Annually, to receive the accounts of management, and to decide on the financial statements presented by them;
·To authorize issuance of debentures;
·To suspend exercise of shareholders’ rights;
·To decide on valuation of goods or assets that a shareholder provides for formation of the share capital;
·To authorize issuance of ‘founder’s shares’;
·To decide on transformation, merger, absorption or split of or by the company, its dissolution or liquidation; To elect or dismiss liquidators, and take decisions on their accounts; and
·To authorize the managers to admit bankruptcy or seek concordats.

 

As a general rule, a vote in favor by shareholders representing at least the majority of the common shares in circulation, present in person or represented by holders of power of attorney, at a General Meeting of Shareholders, is required for approving or ratifying any measure proposed. Abstentions are not counted. However, an affirmative vote by shareholders representing a majority of the share capital in circulation is required for decisions which:

·Create preferred shares or increase an existing class of preferred shares in a manner not proportional in relation to the other classes of shares, unless the measure is specified or authorized by the by-laws;
·Change any preference, prerogative or condition of redemption or amortization conferred upon one or more classes of preference shares; or create a class with greater prerogatives than those of the existing classes of preferred shares;
·Reduce the percentage of the obligatory dividends;
·Make any change to the company’s corporate Objects;
·Carry out any transaction of absorption or merger of the company with any other company;
·Carry out a split of part of the company’s assets or liabilities;
·Approve our participation in a group of companies;
·Apply for cancellation of the state of liquidation;
·Approve dissolution of the company;
·Approve the creation of ‘founder’s shares’; and/or
·Approve incorporation of all our shares into those of another company in such a way as to make us a wholly owned subsidiary of that other company.

 

Shareholders may be represented at a General Meeting of Shareholders by a person holding a power of attorney given not more than one year prior to the date of the meeting. To be qualified to represent a shareholder at a General Meeting of Shareholders, the holder of the power of attorney must be a shareholder, or one of the Company’s directors, or a member of the Board of Directors, or a lawyer. For a listed company, such as CEMIG, the holder of the power of attorney may also be a financial institution.

Subject to provisions of the Corporate Law and our by-laws, our Board of Directors may routinely call our General Meetings of Shareholders. General Meetings of Shareholders may also be called:

 
179 
Table of Contents 
 
·By the Fiscal Council, if the Board of Directors omits to call the General Meeting within one month from the date on which this has been requested of it, in accordance with the applicable law, or a General Meeting at any moment in the event that serious and urgent matters affect our Company;
·By any shareholder, whenever the Board of Directors omits to call the General Meeting of Shareholders within 60 days from the date on which this has been requested of it in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law or our by-laws;
·By shareholders holding at least 5% of the share capital, in the event that the Board of Directors omits to call the General Meeting within 8 calendar days from receipt of a request from these shareholders to call a General Meeting, with indication of the matters to be discussed; or,
·By any holders of at least 5% of our voting stock or 5% of the shareholders without the right to vote if our Board of Directors omits to call the General Meeting of Shareholders within 8 calendar days from receipt of a request from said shareholders to install the Fiscal Council.

 

Remote voting procedure

Pursuant to CVM Instruction No. 561, it is mandatory that remote voting – an absentee ballot system – should be available for Ordinary (Annual) General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders held to elect members of the Board of Directors or the Fiscal Council.

Shareholders may exercise the vote in General Meetings by filling in the Remote Voting Statement (Boletim de Voto à Distância, or ‘BVD’), which must contain all the subjects to be decided. The BVD may be delivered through the custody agent, through the administrator for book-entry shares, or directly at the Company.

The objective of remote voting is to increase shareholders’ participation in general meetings, by facilitating the process of voting/representation. It also enables reduction of the costs of attending meetings and representation in them. In accordance with the provisions of the legislation, CEMIG is adopting remote voting as from the start of the current year.

 

The Board of Directors

The financial limits relating to decisions by the Board of Directors that are identified by a percentage of the Company’s Shareholders’ equity shall be automatically adopted when the financial statements of each year are approved.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, members of the Board of Directors of a company usually have certain duties equivalent to those imposed by the laws of the majority of the States of the USA, including duty of loyalty to the company, duty not to trade in their own personal interest, and the duty diligently attend to the management of the company’s business. The Members of our Board of Directors and our Executive Board may be held liable for failure in these duties to us and to our shareholders and may be subject to legal action in proceedings brought by government bodies or by our shareholders.

There are no provisions in our bylaws relating to: (i) power for a board member to vote on proposals or contracts in which he or she has a material interest; (ii) powers that may be exercised by our board members to take on loans; (iii) retirement age for members of the Board of Directors; or (iv) the number of shares necessary for qualification of board members.

The Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors must be chosen by their peers, at the first meeting of the Board of Directors that takes place after the election of its members, and the Vice-Chair shall take the place of the Chair when the Chair is absent or prevented from exercising his/her functions. The shareholders have the power to set the compensation of the members of boards at the General Meeting of Shareholders at which the board members are elected.

 

Rights of Shareholders

We extend to our shareholders all of the rights that are provided under Brazilian law. Our by-laws are in compliance with the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Essential Rights

Article 109 of Brazilian Corporate Law provides that a corporation may not deny certain rights to its shareholders under any circumstances. These shareholders’ rights include:

·The right to have a share of the corporation’s earnings;
·The right to have a share of the corporation’s assets, in the event of a liquidation of the Company;
·The right to supervise our management according to Brazilian Corporate Law;
·Preemptive rights to subscribe new shares or securities convertible into shares, except for exceptions provided by Brazilian Corporate Law and our by-laws; and
·The right to withdraw from the company under certain circumstances provided in Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Voting Rights

As a general rule, only our common shares are entitled to vote, and each common share corresponds to one vote. Holders of preferred shares acquire voting rights if, during three consecutive fiscal years, we fail to pay a fixed or minimum dividend to which the preferred shares are entitled. If a holder of preferred shares acquires voting rights in this manner, such rights will be identical to the voting rights of a holder of common shares and will continue until the dividend is paid. No restrictions exist on the right of a holder of common shares or preferred shares to exercise voting rights with respect to such shares by virtue of such holder being a non-resident of Brazil or a citizen of a country other than Brazil. However, holders of Preferred ADSs may only vote the underlying preferred shares through the depositary according to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, and holders of Common ADSs may only vote the underlying common shares through the depositary according to the terms of the Common ADS Deposit Agreement. In any circumstance in which holders of preferred shares are entitled to vote, each preferred share will entitle its holder to one vote.

Redemption Rights

Brazilian Corporate Law provides that, under limited circumstances, a shareholder has the right to withdraw his or her equity interest from the company and to receive payment for the portion of shareholder’s equity attributable to his or her equity interest. Our common shares and preferred shares are not redeemable, with the exception that a dissenting shareholder is entitled under Brazilian Corporate Law to obtain redemption in the event of any of the following decisions being made at a shareholders’ meeting by shareholders representing at least 50% of the voting shares:

·Creating preferred shares or increasing an existing class of preferred shares without maintaining the existing ratio with the remaining class of preferred shares, unless when already set forth in or authorized by the bylaws;
·To modify a preference, privilege or condition of redemption or amortization conferred on one or more classes of preferred shares, or to create a new class with greater privileges than the existing classes of preferred shares;
·To reduce the mandatory distribution of dividends;
·To change the Company’s purpose;
·To merge into another company or to consolidate with another company, subject to the conditions set forth in Brazilian Corporate Law;
·To transfer all of our shares to another company in order to make us a wholly owned subsidiary of that company, known as ‘incorporação de ações’;
·To approve acquisition of the control of another company at a price that exceeds certain limits set out in Brazilian Corporate Law;
·To split up, subject to the conditions set forth in Brazilian Corporate Law;
·To transform the Company into another type of company;
·To participate in a centralized group of companies, as defined under Brazilian Corporate Law and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

 

Only holders of shares adversely affected by the changes mentioned in items (1) and (2) above may require the Company to redeem their shares. The right of redemption mentioned in items (5), (6), (7) and (10) above may only be exercised if our shares do not satisfy certain liquidity ratios or dispersion at the time of the decision by the shareholders. The shareholders’ right to withdraw referred to in item (8) may be exercised only if the split results in: (a) a change in the corporate objects, except when the equity value of the assets and liabilities split off is passed to a company whose preponderant activity coincides with that arising from the corporate objects of the company from which it is split; (b) reduction of the mandatory dividend; or (c) participation in a group of companies. Also note that in the case of item (10), the right to withdraw applies to all the Company’s shareholders, and not only to those who have been dissident at the related General Meeting of shareholders. The right to redeem shares will expire 30 calendar days from publication of the minutes of the related shareholders’ meeting, except: (a) in the case of items (1) and (2) above, if the decision is subject to confirmation by the holders of the preferred shares (which must be given in an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held within one year), in which case the period of 30 days shall be counted from publication of the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting; or (b) in the case of item (5), (6) and (7) above, in which case the period of 30 days shall be counted from the end of a period of 120 days, given for the company resulting from the amalgamation, merger or unbundling to obtain a listed company registration and have its shares listed on the secondary market.

Our Company has the right to reconsider any act that gives rise to rights of redemption within 10 calendar days of expiry of such rights if the redemption of shares of dissident shareholders places the Company’s financial stability at risk. Law 9,457 enacted on May 5, 1997, which altered Brazilian Corporate Law, contains provisions which, among other matters, restrict the rights of redemption in certain cases and allow companies to redeem their shares for their economic value, subject to certain requirements. Our by-laws at present do not specify that our share capital may be redeemed at its economic value and, consequently, any redemption in accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law would be made at a minimum of the book value per share, determined on the basis of the last Statement of financial position approved by the shareholders, it being stipulated that, if the General Meeting which gives rise to the rights of redemption has taken place more than 60 calendar days of the date of the last approved Statement of financial position approved, the shareholder shall have the right to require that its shares be valued based on a new Statement of financial position on a date that falls within a period of 60 calendar days of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Rights of Minority Shareholders – Brazilian Corporate Law provides that shareholders owning at least 5% of the capital share of a corporation are afforded the following rights, among others:

·The right to require that the books of the corporation be made available for review, whenever there is any indication of an act violating the Brazilian legislation or the Company’s by-laws, or whenever these have been violated, or if there are grounds for suspicion that serious irregularities have been committed by the company’s management; the right to require the Company’s managers to reveal:
oThe number of securities issued by the company or by subsidiaries, or companies of the same group, that They have acquired or sold, directly or through other people, in the prior business year;
oShare purchase options that management have contracted or exercised in the prior business year;
oAll benefits or advantages, whether indirect or complementary, that they have received or which they are receiving from the company, or from affiliated or subsidiary companies or companies of the same group;
oThe terms of such employment contracts as have been signed by the company with directors or high-level employees; and/or
oAny other material acts or facts in relation to the activities of the company.
·The right to require that the members of the Fiscal Council supply information about matters within their sphere of competence;
·The right to call General Meetings of Shareholders, in certain circumstances, whenever the members of the Board of Directors or of the Executive Board omit to do so; and
·The right to file legal actions for indemnity against members of the Board of Directors or the Executive Board as the case may be for losses and/or damages caused to the company’s property, whenever it is decided in the General Meeting of Shareholders that such an application for indemnity will not be presented.

 

Minority shareholders that own, individually or in aggregate, our outstanding common shares (since at least 10% of our outstanding common shares are held by minority shareholders), and holders of our preferred shares, have the right to appoint one member of the Fiscal Council and an alternate. All shareholders have the right to attend general meetings of shareholders.

Brazilian Corporate Law also provides that minority shareholders that hold either (i) preferred shares representing at least 10% of the total share capital of a company or (ii) common shares representing at least 15% of the voting capital of a company, have the right to appoint one member to the Board of Directors. If no common or preferred shareholder meets these thresholds, shareholders holding preferred shares or common shares representing at least 10% of the total share capital of the company are entitled to combine their holdings to appoint one member to the Board of Directors.

 

Changes in rights of shareholders – A General Meeting of Shareholders must be held whenever the Company intends to change the rights of holders of our common shares or preferred shares. Under Brazilian Corporate Law the proposed changes must be approved by a majority of the class of shareholders that would be affected. Certain changes related to the rights of preferred shares, such as changes in preferences, advantages or conditions of redemption or amortization, may result in the exercise of rights to withdraw by the holders of the shares affected.

Going Private Transactions and Delisting from the B3 – Our delisting, as a public company, must be preceded by a tender offer by our controlling shareholders or the Company for the acquisition of all the then outstanding shares, subject to the conditions below:

·The price offered for the shares under the public offering must be the fair value of those shares, as established in Brazilian Corporate Law; and
·Shareholders holding more than two thirds of our float shares shall have expressly agreed to the decision to become a private company or accepted the offer.

 

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, the fair price shall be at least equal to our valuation as determined by one or more of the following valuation methods: Shareholders’ equity as expressed by book value, Shareholders’ equity valued at market prices, discounted cash flow, comparison of multiples, the quoted price of our shares on the securities market; or based on some other method of valuation accepted by the CVM. The price of the offer may be revised if it is challenged within 15 calendar days of its publication by holders of at least 10% of our outstanding shares, by means of a request sent to our management for an extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be called to decide on whether to request new valuations, using the same, or another, valuation method. If the new valuation is lower than the valuation challenged, the shareholders that requested a new valuation, and those that approved the request, shall reimburse us for the costs incurred. However, if the second valuation is higher, the offering party will have the option to continue the offer, with the new price, or withdraw the offer.

 

Arbitration

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law and its related regulations, litigation between shareholders is subject to the arbitration specified in the by-laws. Under Clause 44 of CEMIG’s by-laws, the Company, its shareholders, managers and members of the Fiscal Council undertake to resolve through arbitration, preceded by mediation, before the Market Arbitration Chamber (CAM) of the B3 or the FGV Mediation and Arbitration Chamber, all and any dispute or controversy that may arise between them related to or arising from, in particular, the application, validity, efficacy, interpretation or violation of the provisions contained in the applicable legislation and regulations, the by-laws, any shareholders’ agreements filed at the head office, the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), or the other rules applicable to the functioning of the capital markets in general, as well as those contained in the Level 1 Regulations of the B3. Without prejudice to the validity of this arbitration clause, application for urgency measures, before the arbitration tribunal has been constituted, should be remitted to the Judiciary, through the courts of the legal distinct of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.

Exchange Controls

There are no restrictions on the ownership of preferred shares or common shares of non-financial institutions by legal entities domiciled outside Brazil. However, the right to convert dividend payments and proceeds from the sale of preferred shares or common shares into foreign currency and to remit such amounts outside Brazil is subject to restrictions under foreign investment legislation, which generally requires, among other things, that you register the relevant investment with the Central Bank and the CVM. Such restrictions on the remittance of foreign capital abroad may hinder or prevent the custodian for our common shares represented by our ADSs or the holders of our common shares from converting dividends, distributions, or the proceeds from any sale of these shares into U.S. dollars and remitting the U.S. dollars abroad. Holders of our ADSs could be adversely affected by delays in, or refusal to grant any, required government approval to convert Brazilian currency payments on the common shares underlying our ADS and to remit the proceeds abroad.

Since March 30, 2015, CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, of September 29, 2014, has been in full effect, providing for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect to shares of Brazilian issuers. CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, among other acts, revoked CMN Resolution No. 1,927/1992, enacted on May 18, 1992, CMN Resolution No. 1,289/1987, of March 20, 1987, and CMN Resolution No. 2,689/2000, enacted on January 26, 2000. Under Brazilian law relating to foreign investment in the Brazilian capital markets, foreign investors registered with the CVM and acting through authorized custodial accounts managed by local agents may buy and sell shares on Brazilian stock exchanges without obtaining separate certificates of registration for each transaction. Foreign investors may register their investment under Law No. 4,131/1962, enacted on September 3, 1962, as amended, or under CMN Resolution No. 4,373, enacted on September 20, 2014.

The Law No. 4,131/1962 is the main legislation concerning investment of direct foreign capital and foreign direct equity in companies based in Brazil. It is applicable to any amount of capital that enters Brazil in the form of foreign currency, goods, or services. Foreign investment portfolios are regulated by CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, CVM Instruction No. 559/2015, enacted on March 27, 2015, which regulates the approval of ADR programs by the CVM, and CVM Instruction No. 560/2015, enacted on March 27, 2015, which regulates the filing of transactions and disclosure of information by foreign investors, all reflecting the provisions of CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014.

As of January 1, 2016, foreign investors that intend to be registered with the CVM shall fulfill the requirements under CVM Instruction No. 560/2015. In accordance with CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, the definition of a foreign investor includes individuals, legal entities, mutual funds, and other collective investment entities, domiciled, or headquartered abroad. In order to become a 4,373 Holder, a foreign investor must:

·Appoint at least one representative in Brazil, with powers to perform actions relating to its investment;
·Appoint an authorized custodian in Brazil for its investments, which must be a financial institution or entity duly authorized by the Central Bank or CVM;
·Appoint a tax representative in Brazil;
·Through its representative in Brazil, register itself as a foreign investor with the CVM;
·Through its representative in Brazil, register its foreign investment with the Central Bank; and
·Be registered with the Federal Tax Authority (‘Secretaria da Receita Federal’), or the ‘RFB’, pursuant to RFB Normative Instruction 1,634/2016, enacted on May 06, 2016, and RFB Normative Instruction No. 1,548/2015, enacted on February 13, 2015.

 

Investments in the preferred shares through the holding of Preferred ADSs, or in the common shares through the holding of Common ADSs, must be made pursuant to Annex II to CMN Resolution No. 4,373 enacted on September 29, 2014. Direct investments in the preferred shares upon the cancellation of the Preferred ADSs, or in the common shares upon the cancellation of the Common ADSs, may be held by foreign investors under Law No. 4,131 of September 3, 1962 or CMN Resolution No. 4,373 enacted on September 29, 2014, both of which effectively allow registered foreign investors to invest substantially in any capital market instrument in Brazil and extend a favorable tax treatment to all foreign investors registered and qualified under CMN Resolution No. 4,373, who are not resident in a tax haven, as defined by Brazilian tax laws.

The Annex II Regulations provide for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in respect of shares of Brazilian issuers. The Preferred ADSs have been approved under the Resolution No. 1,289, which was repealed by Resolution No. 4,373, by the Central Bank and the CVM, and the Common ADSs have been approved by the CVM (since authorization from the Central Bank is no longer necessary).

Electronic certificates of registration have been issued in the name of Citibank, N.A., the depositary bank, with respect to the Preferred ADSs and the Common ADSs and are maintained by Citibank Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A., the Brazilian custodian for the preferred shares and the common shares, on behalf of the depositary bank. These electronic certificates of registration are registered through the Central Bank Information System. Pursuant to the certificates of registration, the custodian and the depositary bank are able to convert dividends and other distributions or sales proceeds with respect to the preferred shares represented by Preferred ADSs and the common shares represented by the Common ADSs into foreign currency and remit the proceeds outside Brazil.

In the event that a holder of Preferred ADSs exchanges such Preferred ADSs for preferred shares, or a holder of Common ADSs exchanges such Common ADSs for common shares, such investment will need to be registered with the Central Bank, according to Resolution No. 4,373. Thereafter, the holder may not be able to convert into foreign currency and remit outside Brazil the proceeds from the disposition of, or distributions with respect to, the preferred shares or the common shares, unless the holder is a duly qualified investor under Resolution No. 4,373 by registering with the CVM and the Central Bank and appointing a representative in Brazil. If not so registered, the holder will be subject to less favorable Brazilian tax treatment than a holder of Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs. Regardless of qualification under Resolution No. 4,373, residents in tax havens are subject to less favorable tax treatment than other foreign investors. See ‘—Taxation—Brazilian Tax Considerations.’

Under current Brazilian legislation, the Brazilian Federal Government may impose temporary restrictions of foreign capital abroad in the event of a serious imbalance or an anticipated serious imbalance of Brazil’s balance of payments. For approximately nine months in 1989 and early 1990, the Brazilian Federal Government froze all dividend and capital repatriations held by the Central Bank that were owed to foreign equity investors, in order to conserve Brazil’s foreign currency reserves. These amounts were subsequently released in accordance with Brazilian Federal Government directives. We cannot assure you that the Brazilin Federal Government will not impose similar restrictions on foreign reparations in the future.

 

Taxation

The following summary contains a description of certain Brazilian and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of preferred shares, common shares, and Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs by a United States person, as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, as amended, or a holder that otherwise will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs, which we refer to as a U.S. holder, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs. In particular this summary deals only with U.S. holders that will hold preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs as capital assets and does not address the tax treatment of U.S. holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Company or 10% or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of the Company or that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, dealers in securities or currencies, brokers, traders in securities that elect to mark to market, tax-exempt organizations, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, ‘pass-through entities’ such as partnerships or persons that will hold preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs as part of a hedging transaction, constructive sale transaction, position in a ‘straddle’ or a ‘conversion transaction’ for tax purposes, and persons that have a ‘functional currency’ other than the U.S. dollar. If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes invests in our preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to such investment will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners relating to the purchase, ownership, and disposition of such shares or ADSs. This summary, as relates to U.S. tax considerations, does not describe any implications under U.S. state or local tax law, non-U.S. tax law, or the federal estate tax or gift tax. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such matters.

This summary is based upon the tax laws of Brazil and the United States as in effect on the date hereof which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to different interpretations. Prospective purchasers of preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to the Brazilian, U.S. or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax laws.

Although there is currently no income tax treaty in force between Brazil and the United States, the tax authorities of both countries have had discussions that may culminate in such a treaty. No assurance can be given, however, as to whether or when a treaty will enter into force or how it will affect the U.S. holders of preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs.

 

Brazilian Tax Considerations

General — The following discussion summarizes the main Brazilian material tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposal of preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs, as the case may be, by a holder that is not domiciled in Brazil, which we refer to as a non-Brazilian holder for purposes of Brazilian taxation. In the case of a holder of preferred shares or common shares, we assume the investment is registered with the Central Bank. The following discussion does not address all the Brazilian tax considerations applicable to any particular non-Brazilian holder. Therefore, each non-Brazilian holder should consult his or her own tax adviser concerning the Brazilian tax consequences of an investment in our preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs.

Taxation of Dividends — Dividends paid by the Company, including share dividends and other dividends paid in property to the depositary in respect of the preferred shares or common shares, or to a non-Brazilian holder in respect of the preferred shares or common shares, are currently exempted from withholding tax in Brazil to the extent that the dividends are paid out of profits generated as of January 1, 1996. Dividends relating to profits generated prior to January 1, 1996 may be subject to Brazilian withholding tax at varying rates, depending on the year the profits were generated.

Payments of ‘Interest on capital’– Law No. 9,249, enacted on December 26, 1995, as amended, enables Brazilian corporations to make distributions to shareholders, in Brazilian currency, of a payment referred to as Interest on capital (‘Juros sobre Capital Próprio’). The payment is calculated based on multiplying the value of the company’s Shareholders’ equity by the Federal Government’s ‘TJLP’, as set forth by the Central Bank, and payments up to such an amount may be deducted by the company as an expense when calculating its profit that will be taxable by income tax and the Social Contribution Tax, subject to the deduction not exceeding the greater of:

·50% of the net income (after deduction of the Social Contribution tax on Net Income, and before the provision for corporate income tax and the amounts attributed to shareholders as Interest on capital) for the period in which the payment will be made; or
·50% of the sum of retained earnings and appropriation to profit reserves as of the date of the beginning of the period in respect of which the payment is made.

Any payment of interest on capital to shareholders (including holders of Preferred ADSs in respect of preferred shares and Common ADSs in respect of common shares) is subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 15%, or 25% if the non-Brazilian holder is domiciled in a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction. These payments may be included, at their net value, as part of any mandatory dividend.

Law No. 9,430, enacted on December 27, 1996 was amended by Law No. 11,727 enacted on June 24, 2008, and later by Law No. 11,941 enacted on May 27, 2009, establishing the concept of a ‘privileged tax regime’, to govern transactions involving transfer pricing, and to strict rules for capitalization. This concept has a wider reach than the concept of a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction. Under the new laws, a ‘privileged tax regime’ is defined as one which has one or more of the following characteristics: (i) it does not tax income or it taxes it at a maximum rate lower than 20%; (ii) it grants tax advantages to non-resident entities or individuals (a) without requiring substantial economic activity in the country or territory or (b) conditional upon non-exercise of substantive business activity in the country or territory; (iii) it does not generate tax income outside its territory, or taxes such income with a maximum rate lower than 20% (or 17% if the jurisdiction follows international standards of tax transparency, as defined by Brazilian Internal Revenue Office, especially in what regards to the disclosure of information in respect to corporate structure, ultimate beneficial owner, ownership of assets and business activities carried on in their territory) or (iv) it does not allow access to information on shareholdings, ownership of assets or rights, or to the business transactions carried out.

Although interpretation of the current Brazilian tax legislation might lead to the conclusion that the concept of ‘privileged tax regime’ should apply only for the purposes of rules to govern transfer pricing in Brazil, it is unclear whether such concept would also apply to other types of transaction, such as investments carried out in the Brazilian financial and capital markets for the purposes of this law. In the event that the ‘privileged tax regime’ concept is interpreted to be applicable to transactions carried out in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, this tax law would accordingly result in the imposition of taxes on a Non-Brazilian-Resident Holder that meets the privileged tax regime requirements in the same way as is applicable to a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction. Current and prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the consequences of the implementation of Law 9,430 enacted on December 27, 1996, as amended, and of any related Brazilian tax law or regulation concerning the concepts of ‘Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction’ or ‘privileged tax regimes’.

To the extent that payments of interest on capital are included as part of a mandatory dividend, we are required to distribute an additional amount to ensure that the net amount received by shareholders, after payment of the applicable withholding tax is at least equal to the mandatory dividend.

Distributions of interest on net equity to foreign holders may be converted into U.S. dollars and remitted outside Brazil, subject to applicable exchange controls, to the extent that the investment is registered with the Central Bank.

We cannot assure you that our Board of Directors will not determine that future distributions should be made by means of dividends or interest on net equity.

 

Taxation of Gains — According to Law No. 10,833/03, the gains recognized on a disposal of assets located in Brazil, such as CEMIG shares, by a non-Brazilian holder, are subject to withholding income tax in Brazil. This rule is applicable regardless of whether the disposal is conducted in Brazil or abroad whether the disposal is made to an individual or entity resident or domiciled in Brazil.

Generally, capital gains realized as a result of a disposal transaction are the positive difference between the amount realized on the disposal of the asset and the respective acquisition cost.

Table of Contents 
 

Capital gains realized by non-Brazilian holders on the disposal of shares sold on the Brazilian stock exchange (which includes the transactions carried out on the official over-the-counter market) are subject to:

·Withholding income tax at a zero percent rate, when realized by a non-Brazilian holder that (i) has registered its investment in Brazil whit the Central Bank under the rules of the Brazilian Monetary Council, (‘CMN’) (‘Resolution No. 4,373 enacted on September 29, 2014’), or a Registered Holder, and (ii) is not a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction Holder;
·In all other cases, including gains realized by a Non-Resident Holder that is not a Registered Holder and/or is a resident of or domiciled in a Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction, subject to income tax at a 15.0% rate. In this case, a withholding income tax of 0.005% shall be applicable and can be offset against any income tax due on the capital gain.

 

Any other gains assessed on the disposition of the common shares that are not carried out on the Brazilian stock exchange are subject to income tax at a rate of 15%, except for Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction, which, in this case, would be subject to income tax at a rate of 25%. Law No. 13,259 of March 17, 2016 increased the income tax rates applicable to gains derived by Brazilian individuals up to 22.5% and, such increase, applicable as of January 2017, may affect Non-Resident Holders. Non-Resident Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the consequences of Law 13,259/2016. In the cases above, if the gains are related to transactions conducted on the Brazilian unofficial over-the-counter market with intermediation, the withholding income tax of 0.005% shall also be applicable and can be offset against any income tax due on the capital gain.

Any exercise of preemptive rights relating to shares will not be subject to Brazilian income tax. Gains realized by a non-Brazilian holder on the disposal of preemptive rights will be subject to Brazilian income tax according to the same rules applicable to the disposal of shares. There can be no assurance that the current favorable tax treatment of Registered Holders will continue in the future.

 

Sale of Preferred ADSs and Common ADSs by U.S. Holders to Other Non-Residents in BrazilPursuant to Section 26 of Law No. 10,833, published on December 29, 2003, the sale of property located in Brazil involving non-resident investors is subject to Brazilian income tax as of February 1, 2004. Our understanding is that ADSs do not qualify as property located in Brazil and, thus, should not be subject to the Brazilian withholding tax; nevertheless, there is a risk that the Tax Authorities will try to assert Brazilian tax jurisdiction in such situation, reason why Non-Resident Holders should consult with their own tax advisors the chances of success in that respect Insofar as the regulatory norm referred to is generic and has not been tested through the administrative or judicial courts, we are unable to assure the final outcome of such situation.

If such argument does not prevail, it is important to mention that with respect to the cost of acquisition to be adopted for calculating such gains, Brazilian law has conflicting provisions regarding the currency in which such amount must be determined, CEMIG’s Brazilian counsel’s view is that the capital gains should be based on the positive difference between the cost of acquisition of the preferred shares or common shares registered with the Central Bank in foreign currency and the value of disposal of those preferred shares or common shares in the same foreign currency. A precedent issued by the Brazilian administrative court has supported this view. However, considering that the tax authorities are not bound by such precedent, assessments have been issued adopting the cost of acquisition in Brazilian currency.

 

Gains on the Exchange of Preferred ADSs for Preferred Shares or the Exchange of Common ADSs for Common Shares—Although there is no clear regulatory guidance, the exchange of ADSs for shares should not be subject to Brazilian tax to the extent that, as described above, ADSs do not qualify as property located in Brazil for the purposes of Law Nº 10,833. Non-Brazilian holders may exchange Preferred ADSs for the underlying preferred shares or Common ADSs for the underlying common shares, sell the preferred shares or common shares on a Brazilian stock exchange and remit abroad the proceeds of the sale within five business days of the date of exchange (according to the depositary’s electronic registration), with no tax consequences. Although there is no clear regulatory guidance, the exchange of ADSs for shares should not be subject to Brazilian withholding income tax. Nevertheless, it is important to mention that there is no precedent regarding this matter in administrative or judicial courts.

Upon receipt of the underlying preferred shares in exchange for Preferred ADSs or the underlying common shares in exchange for Common ADSs, non-Brazilian holders may also elect to register with the Central Bank the U.S. dollar value of such preferred shares or common shares as a foreign portfolio investment under CMN Resolution No. 4,373/2014, which will entitle them to the tax treatment referred to above in connection with ‘U.S. market investors’.

Alternatively, the non-Brazilian holder is entitled to register with the Central Bank the U.S. dollar value of such preferred shares or common shares as a foreign direct investment under Law Nº 4,131/62, in which case the respective sale would be subject to the tax treatment referred in the section ‘Taxation of Gains’.

Gains on the Exchange of Preferred Shares for Preferred ADSs or Common Shares for Common ADSs— With reference to the deposit of preferred shares in exchange for the Preferred ADSs or common shares in exchange for the Common ADSs, the difference between the acquisition cost of the preferred shares or common shares and the market price of the preferred shares or common shares is considered to be a capital gain subject to income tax at a rate from 15% or 25% for Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction Holders. Although there is no clear regulatory guidance, such taxation should not apply in case of Non-Resident Holders registered under CMN Resolution Nº 4,373/2014, except for Nil or Low Taxation Jurisdiction Residents. Law Nº 13,259 of March 17, 2016 increased the income tax rates applicable to gains derived by Brazilian individuals up to 22.5% and, such increase, applicable as of January 2017, may affect Non-Resident Holders. Non-Resident Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the consequences of Law 13,259/2016.

 

Taxation of foreign exchange transactions—Brazilian law imposes Financial Transactions Tax ("Imposto sobre Operações Financeiras, or ‘IOF’) on foreign exchange transactions (known as the IOF/Câmbio, or ‘FX IOF’), on conversion of Reais into foreign currency or vice-versa. The currently applicable rate of this tax for almost all foreign exchange transactions is 0.38%. However, exchange transactions carried out for the inflow of funds in Brazil for investments in the Brazilian financial and capital market made by a foreign investor (including a Non-Resident Holder, as applicable) are subject to IOF/Exchange at a 0%. The IOF/Exchange rate will also be 0% for the outflow of funds from Brazil related to these types of investments, including payments of dividends and interest on shareholders’ equity and the repatriation of funds invested in the Brazilian market.

Notwithstanding the said rates of the FX IOF tax in effect on the date of publication hereof, the Finance Ministry is authorized by law to increase the rate of this tax up to a maximum of 25% of the value of the transaction, but only for future transactions.

 

Taxation on transactions relating to securitiesBrazilian legislation imposes a tax on financial transactions relating to securities (referred to as the IOF tax on Securities, or ‘IOF/Títulos’), including transactions made on Brazilian stock exchanges.

The IOF Tax on Securities may also apply to transactions involving ADSs of preferred shares, or ADSs of common shares, if they are considered by the Brazilian tax authorities to be assets located in Brazil.

The rate of the IOF Tax on Securities applicable to transactions involving shares (preferred shares, ADSs for preferred shares, common shares and ADSs for common shares) is currently zero. Moreover, by Decree No. 8,165 enacted on December 24, 2013, the rate of the IOF Tax on Securities applicable on assignment of shares traded on a Brazilian stock exchange for the specific purpose of the underlying issuance of DRs outside Brazil was reduced to zero.

 
191 
Table of Contents 
 

The Finance Ministry has the power to increase the rates of IOF Tax on Securities to as high as 1.5% per day, but this is applicable only to future transactions.

 

Other Brazilian TaxesSome Brazilian states impose gift and inheritance tax on gifts or bequests made by individuals or entities not domiciled or residing in Brazil to individuals or entities domiciled or residing within such states. There are no Brazilian stamp, issues, registrations, or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of preferred shares, common shares, Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs.

 

U.S. Tax Considerations – In general, and taking into account the earlier assumptions, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of ADSs is typically treated as the owner of the underlying shares represented by those ADSs. Consequently, exchanges of ADSs into shares, and shares into ADSs, as a general rule, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

 

Taxation of Distributions—Subject to the discussion below under ‘Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules’, distributions with respect to the shares or the ADSs (other than distributions in redemption of the shares subject to Section 302(b) of the Code or in a liquidation of the Company) will, to the extent made from current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, constitute dividends. A distribution also includes distributions characterized as interest attributable to shareholders’ capital for Brazilian law purposes and the amount of any Brazilian taxes withheld on any such distribution, if any, even though a U.S. holder will not receive such amount as part of their distribution. Whether current or accumulated earnings and profits will be sufficient for all such distributions on the shares or ADSs to qualify as dividends depends on the future profitability of the Company and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. To the extent that such a distribution exceeds the amount of the Company’s earnings and profits, it will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s basis in the shares or ADSs, and thereafter as capital gains. As used below, the term ‘dividend’ means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company does not currently intend to calculate its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Accordingly, U.S. holders should expect that all distributions made with respect to the shares or ADSs will generally be treated as dividends. Cash dividends (including distributions characterized as interest attributable to shareholders’ capital for Brazilian law purposes and amounts withheld in respect of Brazilian taxes) paid with respect to:

·The shares generally will be included in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary income on the day on which the dividends are actually or constructively received by the U.S. holder; or
·The shares represented by ADSs generally will be included in the gross income of a U.S. holder as ordinary income on the day on which the dividends are received by the depositary bank, and in either case, will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. Dividends paid in Reais will be included in the income of a U.S. holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day they are received by the U.S. holder, in the case of shares, or the depositary bank, in the case of shares represented by ADSs.

 

If dividends paid in Reais are converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are received by the U.S. holder or the depositary bank, as the case may be, U.S. holders generally should not be required to recognize a foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss if any Reais received by the U.S. holder or the depositary bank are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, as well as the tax consequences of the receipt of any additional Reais from the custodian due to Brazilian inflation.

Dividends will generally constitute foreign source income and will generally constitute ‘passive category income’ or, in the case of certain U.S. holders, ‘general category income,’ for foreign tax credit purposes. In the event Brazilian withholding taxes are imposed on such dividends, such taxes may be treated as a foreign income tax eligible, subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions under U.S. federal income tax law, for a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or at a U.S. holder’s election, may be deducted in computing taxable income). The calculation and availability of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of deductions, involves the application of rules that depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits with respect to Brazilian withholding taxes.

Distributions to U.S. holders of additional common shares or preemptive rights relating to such common shares with respect to their common shares or Common ADSs that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of the Company generally will not be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes but could result in additional U.S.-source taxable gain upon the sale of such additional shares or preemptive rights. Non-pro rata distributions of such shares or rights generally would be included in the U.S. holder’s gross income to the same extent and in the same manner as distributions payable in cash. In that event, the amount of such distribution (and the basis of the new shares or preemptive rights so received) generally will equal the fair market value of the shares or preemptive rights on the date of distribution. It is not entirely clear whether the preferred shares will be treated as preferred shares or common shares for this purpose. If the preferred shares are treated as common shares for these purposes the treatment above would apply to distributions of shares or preemptive rights with respect to preferred shares or Preferred ADSs. On the other hand, if the preferred shares are treated as preferred shares a distribution of additional shares or preemptive rights would be included in gross income to the same extent as a cash distribution whether or not such distribution is considered a pro rata distribution.

 

Qualified Dividend Income – Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain dividends received by individual or other non-corporate U.S. holders that constitute ‘qualified dividend income’ may be subject to a reduced maximum marginal U.S. federal income tax rate. Qualified dividend income generally includes, among other dividends, dividends received during the taxable year from ‘qualified foreign corporations’. In general, a foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to any dividend paid by the corporation with respect to shares of the corporation that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. For this purpose, a share is treated as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if an ADS backed by such share is so traded. Our Preferred ADSs and our Common ADSs are listed on the NYSE so we anticipate that our ADSs should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, although there can be no assurances in this regard.

Notwithstanding this previous rule, dividends received from a foreign corporation that is a passive foreign investment company (as defined below under ‘Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules’) in either the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year will not constitute qualified dividend income. In addition, the term ‘qualified dividend income’ will not include, among other dividends, any (i) dividends on any share or ADS which is held by a taxpayer for 60 days or less during the 121-day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the date on which such share or the shares backing the ADS become ex-dividend with respect to such dividends (as measured under section 246(c) of the Code) or (ii) dividends to the extent that the taxpayer is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. Moreover, special rules apply in determining a taxpayer’s foreign tax credit limitation under section 904 of the Code in the case of qualified dividend income.

Individual U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether or not amounts received as dividends from us will constitute qualified dividend income subject to a reduced maximum marginal U.S. federal income tax rate and, in such a case, the effect, if any, on the individual U.S. holder’s foreign tax credit.

Taxation of Sales, Redemptions and Other Taxable Dispositions — Deposits and withdrawals of shares by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to the discussion below under – ‘Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules’, gains or losses realized by a U.S. holder on the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of shares or ADSs will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as capital gains or losses in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares or the ADSs and the amount realized on the disposition as determined in U.S. dollars. Gains or losses recognized by a U.S. holder on such a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition generally will be long-term capital gains or losses if, at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition, the shares or ADSs, as applicable, have been held for more than one year. Certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. The deduction of a capital loss is subject to limitations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A gain realized by a U.S. holder on a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of shares or ADSs, including a gain that arises because the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares or ADSs has been reduced because a distribution is treated as a return of capital rather than as a dividend, generally will be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Accordingly, if Brazilian withholding tax or income tax is imposed on the sale, redemption or other disposition of shares or ADSs as described in — ‘Taxation—Brazilian Tax Considerations’, such tax generally will not be available as a credit for the U.S. holder against U.S. federal income tax unless the U.S. holder has other income treated as derived from foreign sources, in the appropriate category, for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules.

If a Brazilian withholding tax or income tax is imposed on the sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of shares or ADSs, the amount realized by a U.S. holder will include the gross amount of the proceeds of such sale, redemption or other taxable disposition before deduction of the Brazilian withholding tax or income tax if applicable. The availability of U.S. foreign tax credits for these Brazilian taxes is subject to certain limitations and involves the application of rules that depend on a U.S. holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, shares or ADSs.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules – Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules as a general rule, apply to a U.S. person that owns or disposes of stock in a non-U.S. corporation that is classified as a passive foreign investment company (a ‘PFIC’). In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries, either (i) 75% or more of the non-U.S. corporation’s gross income is ‘passive income’ or (ii) 50% or more of the gross value (determined on a quarterly basis) of the non-U.S. corporation’s assets produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. For these purposes, passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, gains from the disposition of passive assets and gains from commodities and securities transactions (other than certain active business gains from the sale of commodities). In determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

The Company does not believe that it was a PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes, for its preceding taxable year and does not expect to be a PFIC in its current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets, the market value of assets from time to time, and the application of rules that are not always clear, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year.

If the Company was to be classified a PFIC, a U.S. holder could be subject to material adverse tax consequences including being subject to greater amounts of tax on gains and certain distributions on the shares or ADSs as well as increased reporting requirements. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors about the possibility that the Company might be classified as a PFIC and the consequences if the Company was classified as a PFIC.

Tax on Net Investment Income – A U.S. holder that is an individual, an estate or a trust (other than a trust that falls into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax) will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (i) the U.S. holder’s ‘net investment income’ (in the case of individuals) or ‘undistributed net investment income’ (in the case of estates and trusts) for the relevant taxable year and (ii) the excess of the U.S. holder’s ‘modified adjusted gross income’ (in the case of individuals) or ‘adjusted gross income’ in the case of estates and trusts) for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which, in the case of individuals, will be between $125,000 and $250,000 depending upon the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. holder’s net investment income will generally include its dividend income on the shares or ADSs, and its net gains from the disposition of the shares or ADSs. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts should consult their own tax advisors regarding the applicability of this tax to their income and gains in respect of the shares or ADSs.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding — Information reporting requirements will generally apply to U.S. holders (other than certain U.S. holders that are ‘exempt recipients’, such as a corporations) of ADSs and such U.S. holders will be required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish that they are not subject to backup withholding. Investors who are individuals and fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding these requirements. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on a timely basis.

 

Disclosure Requirements for Specified Foreign Financial Assets – Certain U.S. holders that own certain ‘specified foreign financial assets’ with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the tax year or US$75,000 at any time during the tax year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form 8938, with respect to such assets. ‘Specified foreign financial assets’ generally include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. U.S. holders who fail to report on their specified foreign financial assets could be subject to substantial tax penalties. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these information reporting rules to the ADSs or shares, including the application of these rules to their own particular circumstances.

Dividends and Paying Agents

We pay dividends on preferred shares and common shares in the amounts and in the manner set forth under “Item 8, Financial Information—Dividend Policy and Payments”. We will pay dividends in respect of preferred shares represented by Preferred ADSs or common shares represented by Common ADSs to the custodian for the depositary bank, as record owner of the preferred shares represented by Preferred ADSs or the common shares represented by Common ADSs. As promptly as practicable after receipt of the dividends we pay through Citibank N.A. to the custodian, it will convert these payments into U.S. dollars and remit such amounts to the depositary bank for payment to the holders of Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs in proportion to individual ownership.

 

Insurance

We have insurance policies covering fire damages to owned or rented buildings, including their contents. Since January 8, 2022, the insurance for the building where our head office is located only covers its contents, as the insurance for the building was assumed by the owner of the building. Our operational risk insurance policy covers damages to the turbines, generators and transformers of our principal generating plants and substations caused by lightning, fire and explosion or risks such as equipment failure. We also have insurance policies covering damage to or caused by aircraft used in our operations. We do not have general third-party liability insurance to cover accidents, and we do not seek proposals for this type of insurance. There is however a possibility that we may contract this type of insurance in the future.

In addition, we do not seek proposals for, nor do we have, insurance cover against major natural disasters that might affect our facilities, such as earthquakes and floods or failures of the operational system.

We do not have insurance coverage for the risk of interruption of business, which means that damages suffered by our company, and consequent damages suffered by our customers because of interruption in the supply of energy are in general not covered by our insurance and we may be subject to significant losses. See the Section “Item 3, Key Information-Risk Factors-Risks relating to CEMIG. We operate without insurance policies against natural disasters and third-party liability”.

We believe that, since we contract insurance against fire and operational risk, our insurance cover is at a level that is usual in Brazil for the type of business that we conduct.

 

Difficulties of Enforcing Civil Liabilities against Non-U.S. Persons

We are a state-controlled mixed capital company established under the laws of Brazil. All of our executive officers and directors presently reside in Brazil. In addition, substantially all of our assets are located in Brazil. As a result, it will be necessary for holders of Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs to comply with Brazilian law in order to obtain an enforceable judgment against our executive officers or directors or our assets. It may not be possible for holders of Preferred ADSs or Common ADSs to effect service of process within the United States upon our executive officers and directors, or to enforce in the United States judgments against these persons obtained in U.S. courts based upon civil liabilities of these persons, including any judgments based upon U.S. federal securities laws, to the extent these judgments exceed these persons’ U.S. assets. We have been advised by Brazilian counsel, Rolim, Viotti, Goulart, Cardoso Advogados, that judgments of U.S. courts for civil liabilities based upon the federal securities laws of the United States may be, subject to the requirements described below, enforced in Brazil to the extent Brazilian courts may have jurisdiction. A judgment against the Company, or the persons described above, obtained outside Brazil, is subject to confirmation by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice, without reconsideration of the merits. That confirmation will occur if the foreign judgment:

·Fulfills all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the country where the foreign judgment is granted;
 
196 
Table of Contents 
 
·Is issued by a competent court after proper service of process is made, or after sufficient evidence of the parties’ absence has been given, as established pursuant to applicable Law;
·Is not subject to appeal;
·Is for the payment of a specified amount;
·Except if otherwise provided in the Apostille Convention, is authenticated by a Brazilian consular officer in the country where the foreign judgment is issued and is accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese; and
·Is not contrary to Brazilian national sovereignty, public policy, public morality or human dignity.

 

We cannot be certain that the confirmation process described above will be conducted in a timely manner or that Brazilian courts would enforce a monetary judgment for violation of the United States securities laws with respect to the Preferred ADSs and the preferred shares represented by the Preferred ADSs or the Common ADSs and the common shares represented by the Common ADSs.

We were further advised by the abovementioned Brazilian counsel that:

·Original actions based on the federal securities laws of the United States may be brought in Brazilian courts and that, subject to Brazilian public policy and national sovereignty. Brazilian courts will enforce liabilities in such actions against us and our officers; and
·The ability of a creditor or the other persons named above to satisfy a judgment by attaching our assets or those of the selling shareholders is limited by provisions of Brazilian law.

 

A plaintiff (whether Brazilian or non-Brazilian) residing outside Brazil during the course of litigation in Brazil must, in order to cover court costs and legal fees, provide a bond or if the plaintiff does not own any real property in Brazil, a guarantee. The bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of court fees and the defendant’s attorney fees, as determined by a judge in Brazil. This requirement does not apply to a proceeding to enforce a foreign judgment, which has been confirmed by the STJ (“Superior Tribunal de Justiça”).

 

 

Item 11.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk results from certain of our loans and financing being denominated in currencies (primarily the U.S. dollar) other than the currency in which we earn revenues (the Brazilian Real). See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Policies”.

 

Exchange Rate Risk

On December 31, 2021, R$ 5,623 million, representing 56.16% of our outstanding indebtedness, were denominated in foreign currencies, of which 100.00%, was denominated in U.S. dollars. We do not have substantial revenues denominated in any foreign currencies and, due to regulations that require us to keep excess cash on deposit in Real-denominated accounts at Brazilian banks; we do not have monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies.

In 2021, a hypothetical 25% and 50% depreciation of the Real against the U.S. dollar would result in an additional annual rate expense, of approximately R$806 million and R$2,086 million, respectively, reflecting the increased cost in Reais of foreign currency-denominated indebtedness from loans, financing and debentures, compared to probable scenario. This sensitivity analysis assumes a simultaneous unfavorable 25% and 50% fluctuation in each of the exchange rates affecting the foreign currencies in which our indebtedness is denominated.

The foreign exchange variations of the acquisition of energy from Itaipu is balanced by the CVA and Other financial components in tariff adjustment. This amount is passed through to customers in next tariff adjustment. Thus, this exposure affects the cash flow of the year, but does not affect the result of the year.

The table below provides summarized information regarding our exposure to exchange rate risk as of December 31, 2021:

U.S. Dollar:  (in millions of R$)

Swap transactions

On December 31, 2021 we had R$5,623million in loans and financing outstanding that we use derivative instruments (swaps) to protect the servicing associated with these debts (principal plus interest).

The derivative financial instruments contracted have the purpose of protecting the operations against the risks arising from foreign exchange variation and are not used for speculative purposes.

The notional amount of derivative transactions are not presented in the Company´s statement of financial position, since they refer to transactions that do not require cash as only the gains or losses actually incurred are recorded.

The table below presents the derivative instruments contracted by the Company as of December 31, 2021:

(1)For the US$1 billion Eurobond issued on December 2017: (i) for the principal, a call spread was contracted, with floor at R$3.25/US$ and ceiling at R$5.00/US$; and (ii) a swap was contracted for the total interest, for a coupon of 9.25% p.a. at an average rate equivalent to 150.49% of the CDI. In July 20 21, Cemig GT dismantled a total of US$500 of the original hedge issued. For the additional US$500 issuance of the same Eurobond issued on July 2018: (1) a call spread was contracted for the principal, with floor at R$3.85/US$ and ceiling at R$5.00/US$; and (2) a swap was contracted for the interest, resulting in a coupon of 9.25% p.a., with an average rate equivalent to 125.52% of the CDI rate The upper limit for the exchange rate in the hedge instrument contracted by the Company for the principal of the Eurobonds is R$5.00/US$. The instrument matures in December 2024. If the USD/BRL exchange rate is still over R$5.00 in December 2024, the company will disburse, on that date, the difference between the upper limit of the protection range and the spot dollar on that date. The Company is monitoring the possible risks and impacts associated with the dollar being valued above R$5.00 and assessing various strategies for mitigating the foreign exchange risk up to the maturity date of the transaction. The hedge instrument fully protects the payment of six-monthly interest, independently of the USD/BRL exchange rate.

In accordance with market practice, the Company uses a mark-to-market method to measure its derivatives financial instruments for its Eurobonds. The principal indicators for measuring the fair value of the swap are the B3 future market curves for the DI rate and the dollar. The Black & Scholes model is used to price the call spread, and one of parameters of which is the volatility of the dollar, measured on the basis of its historic record over 2 years.

 

Interest Rate Risk

On December 31, 2021 we had R$11,364 million in loans and financing outstanding, of which approximately R$1,479 million bear interest at rates tied to CDI rate and other floating indexes.

On December 31, 2021, we had assets, net of other liabilities leaving interest at floating rates in the amount of R$3,423 million. The assets consisted mainly of cash equivalents, as summarized in the tables below. A hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable change of 100 basis points in interest rates applicable to floating rate financial assets and liabilities held on December 31, 2021 would result in a potential gain of R$34 million accounted as a finance expense in our consolidated financial statements.

Item 15.Controls and procedures

(a)       Assessment of Controls and Procedures for Disclosure

Our Executive Board, including our Chief Executive Officer (‘CEO’) and Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2021, and have concluded that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below in Item 15 (b), these controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, including the principal executive officer and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In light of the material weaknesses discussed below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, have concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 20-F present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

(b)       Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.

Our internal control system was designed to provide a reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the published financial statements. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
(2)Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Chief Officers of the Company; and
(3)Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
202 
Table of Contents 
 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Management evaluated the internal controls over financial reporting under the supervision of our CEO and Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer, as of December 31, 2021 based on the criteria established in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO (2013). Based on these criteria, despite the efforts and improvements that we made during the year, management has identified a material weakness related to the lack of design and execution of controls on business processes, to fully address the requirements of the COSO criteria. Our management concluded that, for the year ended December 31, 2021 the system of internal control was not effective. As previously highlighted herein, this ineffectiveness has not compromised the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021. Our CEO and CFO have certified that, based on their knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this Form 20-F, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this Form 20-F. Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S. has issued an unqualified opinion on our financial statements, which is included elsewhere in this annual report.

(c)       Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S., the independent registered certified public accounting firm who audited our consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere in this annual report, has issued an adverse attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, which is included elsewhere in this annual report.

(d)       Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management implemented remediation plans that improved our internal control over Financial Reporting.

Specifically, in the information technology environment, which supports the Financial Reports, several actions were taken including (I) the global review of all users of its Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP including the implementation of automatic blocking of unreviewed accesses, (II) implementation of security systems and changes in processes, systems, hardware to mitigate the risk of cyberattacks.

In addition to the actions related to Information Technology, other actions to improve the internal control environment were implemented in 2021, namely: (I) restructuring and adjusting our internal controls team with the support of a specialized consulting, (II) implementation of the process owner as a focal point to address deficiencies identified on each control related to the most relevant classes of transactions, (III) improvement in communication with the areas involved and responsible through reports and periodic meetings, including reinforcement and focus on supervision by governance acting on responsibilities and, (IV) adequacy of the calendar to support timely remediation procedures.

These actions promoted a better scenario of our internal control over Financial Reporting than we have experimented in previous years, with more effectiveness both quantitative and qualitatively. Despite all these actions, the Company still have some improvements related to internal controls over financial report.

For the year 2022, our management is undertaking the following actions in order to improve internal controls:

·strengthen the training of control owners in relation to the sufficiency of supporting documentation and the completeness of control records;
·prioritize the remediation of ineffective controls accordingly with their criticality;
·anticipate the execution of tests of design and operation effectiveness;
·expand the project for automating information flows and generating evidence of execution of controls;
·enhance quarterly reporting on the remediation measures to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Our management is committed to achieving and maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes that these actions will result in significant improvements in our controls during the current fiscal year. This commitment is accompanied by management’s focus on processes and related controls to achieve accurate and reliable financial reporting. We believe the above actions will be effective and we will continue to devote time and attention to these efforts in order to ensure our full compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules promulgated by the SEC.

 

Item 16A.Financial Specialist of the Audit Committee

We established an Audit Committee on June 11, 2018 in compliance with the Brazilian State Companies Law, which operates as an audit committee for the purpose of the Sarbanes-Oxley Law of 2002. Under Section 10A–3 (c) (3) of the SEC rules on audit committees of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, non-US issuers can opt not to have a separate audit committee made up of independent members provided that they have an established audit board or committee that has been chosen in accordance with the legal rules of its origin country, which expressly require or permit this committee or board should comply with certain obligations. The Financial Expert of our Audit Committee is Pedro Carlos de Mello and he also satisfies the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3.

 

 

Item 16B.Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 16B of Form 20-F under the Exchange Act. Our code of ethics applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Finance, and Investor Relations Officer, and to persons performing similar functions, members of the Board of Directors, other officers, and employees. In 2022, the document was completely revised, having undergone a change in its name, format and content, with the purpose of giving greater clarity to all involved about the ethical principles and rules of conduct of the Company. Our code of ethics is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to this Form 20-F and is available on our website www.cemig.com.br. If we change the provisions of our code of ethics that apply to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Finance, and Investor Relations Officer, and/or persons performing similar functions, or if we grant any waiver of such provisions, we will disclose such change on our website at the same address.

Item 16C.Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Ernst &Young Auditores Independentes S.S. acted as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The table below sets forth the total fees for professional services provided by our independent accountants in 2021 and 2020, including out-of-pocket expenses, and a breakdown of these amounts by category of service, as follows:

   (thousands of Reais)
Year ended December, 31  2021  2020
Audit fees   8,682  7,327
Audit-related fees   -  865
Tax fees   934  880
Total   9,616  9,072

 

Audit fees include the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, the quarterly reviews of our consolidated interim financial statements, statutory audits of our subsidiaries and certain regulatory audits. Audit-related fees include mostly services related to the issuance of comfort letter in connection with our debentures. Tax fees refers to certain tax compliance services.

 

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Audit Committee currently serves as our audit board or committee for purposes of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, as required by Brazilian legislation, we have adopted pre-approval policies and procedures whereby all audit and non-audit services provided by external auditors must be approved by the Board of Directors. Any service proposals submitted by external auditors need to be discussed and approved by the Board of Directors during its meetings. Once the proposed service is approved, we formalize the engagement of the relevant services. The approval of any audit and non-audit services to be provided by our external auditors is specified in the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors. All services mentioned above were pre-approved by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

 

Item 16D.Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees

We rely on the general exemption from the listing standards relating to audit committees contained in Rule 10A-3(c) (3) under the Exchange Act. Our Audit Committee carries out the functions of an audit committee of the United States to the extent permitted under Brazilian law. Brazilian law requires our Audit Committee to be separate from our board of directors, and members of our Audit Committee are not elected by the Company’s management. Brazilian law provides standards for the independence of our Audit Committee from our management. Our Audit Committee is composed of four members, one of which is member of our board of directors.

We do not believe that our reliance on this general exemption will materially affect the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently and to satisfy the other requirements of the listing standards relating to audit committees contained in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

We also have a Fiscal Council constituted according to the Brazilian law requirements. See more information on Item 6. Directors, Senior Managers and Employees.

Item 16F.Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S., or EY, was appointed to act as our independent public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. Pursuant to CVM regulations, Brazilian public companies are required to rotate their independent public accounting firm every five years. Due to the limitations set forth in these regulations, we did not seek to renew Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S. contract when it expired, and Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S. could not attempt to stand for reelection.

As disclosed in our current report on Form 6-K furnished on May 13, 2022 to the SEC, our executive board approved the change of Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S.S., or EY, as independent registered public accounting firm and the engagement of KPMG Auditores Independentes Ltda., or KPMG, to serve as our new independent registered public accounting firm as of the second quarter of 2022 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and future fiscal years until a new auditor rotation is required.

EY’s audit report dated May 16, 2022 on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, does not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. EY’s audit report dated April 30, 2021, on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, also did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

EY’s audit report dated May 16, 2022, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, expresses an adverse opinion related to a material weakness related to the lack of design and execution of relevant controls on business processes, to fully address the requirements of the COSO criteria.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no disagreements between us and EY on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on our consolidated financial statements. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no "reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F.

We have provided EY with a copy of this Item 16F and have requested and received from EY a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not EY agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from EY is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this annual report.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, neither us nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted KPMG regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 16F(a)(2) of the instructions to Form 20-F.

 

 

Item 16G.Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Differences from NYSE Practices

On November 4, 2003, the NYSE established new corporate governance rules. Under the rules, foreign private issuers are subject to a more limited set of corporate governance requirements than U.S. domestic issuers. Under the NYSE rules, we are required only to: (i) have an audit committee or Fiscal Council, pursuant to an applicable exemption available to foreign private issuers, that meets certain requirements, (ii) provide prompt certification by our CEO of any material noncompliance with any corporate governance rules, and (iii) provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE corporate governance practice required to be followed by U.S. listed companies. The discussion of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. listed companies follows below.

 

For more information on our corporate governance practices, see Item 9. The Offer and Listing Trading Market—Trading on the B3.

NYSE Corporate Governance Rule for U.S. Domestic Issuers

 

Our Approach

303A.01   A listed company must have a majority of independent directors; ‘Controlled companies’ are not required to comply with this requirement.   Under Section 303A of the rules of the NYSE, ‘controlled company’ is taken to include a company in which more than 50% of the voting power is held by one individual, a group or another company. Since 50.97% of the voting share of CEMIG is held by the State of Minas Gerais, it is considered to be a controlled company. Therefore, this requirement currently does not apply to CEMIG.
303A.03   The non-management directors of a listed company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.   The non-management directors of CEMIG do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
303A.04   A listed company must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, with a written charter that covers certain minimum specified duties. ‘Controlled companies’ are not required to comply with this requirement.   As a controlled company, CEMIG is not required to have a nominating/governance committee. Nonetheless, CEMIG has a Corporate Governance Committee, composed of dependent and independent directors, and its responsibilities are clearly defined in the internal regulations of the Board of Directors.

NYSE Corporate Governance Rule for U.S. Domestic Issuers

 

Our Approach

303A.05   A listed company must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors, with a written charter that covers certain minimum specified duties; ‘Controlled companies’ are not required to comply with this requirement.   As a controlled company, CEMIG would not be required to comply with the compensation committee requirements as if it were a U.S. domestic issuer. CEMIG does not have a compensation committee.
303A.06 and 303A.07   A listed company must have an audit committee with a minimum of three independent directors that satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with a written charter that covers certain minimum specified duties.   CEMIG exercised its prerogative under SEC Rule 10A-3 and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, which allow non-U.S. issuers not to have an Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee carries out the functions of an Audit Committee of the United States up to the limit permitted by Brazilian law.
        CEMIG’s Audit Committee is a permanent body, responsible, principally, for inspection and supervision of the activities of the management and for verifying the managers’ compliance with their duties under the law and under the by-laws.
303A.08   Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exemptions set forth in the NYSE rules.   Under Brazilian Corporate Law, shareholder preapproval is required for the adoption of equity compensation plans.
303A.09   A listed company must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines that cover certain minimum specified subjects.   CEMIG’s listing on B3 is at Corporate Governance Level 1, and CEMIG is thus obliged to comply with the rules contained in those related regulations. In addition, CEMIG’s Manual for Disclosure and Use of Information, its Securities Trading Policy, the Internal Regulations of its Board of Directors, and its Code of Ethics outline important rules of corporate governance, which orient its management.
303A.12   Each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards.   CEMIG’s CEO will promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of CEMIG becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of the NYSE corporate governance rules.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

We did not audit the 2020 financial statements of Madeira Energia S.A., a corporation in which the Company has, directly and indirectly, 15.5% interest. In the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s investment in Madeira Energia S.A. is stated at R$367 million as of December 31, 2020, and the Company’s equity in the losses of Madeira Energia S.A. is stated at R$185 million in 2020 and R$188 million in 2019. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Madeira Energia S.A., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated May 16, 2022, expressed an adverse opinion thereon.

  Concession infrastructure assets

 

Description of the matter

 

As described in Notes 14, 15 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s concession infrastructure assets as of December 31, 2021, are comprised of concession financial assets, contract assets and intangible assets amounting to R$4,326 million, R$6,380 million and R$12,953 million, respectively. Accounting for concession infrastructure assets is highly dependent on internal controls which were ineffective due to a material weakness identified by management.

 

Auditing the measurement of the Company’s concession infrastructure assets, including the information derived from internal controls impacted by the material weakness identified, was complex, required the performance of incremental audit procedures and significant auditor judgement due to the subjectivity of management’s judgment applied when; estimating the amounts to be reimbursed by the grantor at the end of the concession period related to concession contracts in the generation segment; determining the methodology used for estimating the fair value of intangible assets related to the renegotiation of hydrologic risk recorded in 2021; determining the discount rate applied to calculate contracts assets amounts; estimating the expected margins for each performance obligation identified in the contracts; and determining which expenditures are eligible for capitalization under concession contracts in the distribution segment.

 

 
How we addressed the matter in our audit

To test the measurement of the Company’s concession infrastructure assets, our audit procedures included, among others, designing and performing incremental audit procedures to test the underlying records of transaction data obtained from the IT systems; reading concession agreements; evaluating indemnifiable amounts recorded by the Company; assessing the history of payments related to indemnification clauses made by the grantor to companies that operate in the generation segment; examining communications between the Company and the grantor throughout the year; evaluating the financial model and methodology used for measuring generation intangible assets related to the renegotiation of hydrologic risk. In the transmission segment, we assessed with the support of our valuation specialists, the discount rate used in management calculations, as well as the projected financial information and methodology used when estimating the expected margin; performing a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the changes in contract assets that would result from changes in certain key underlying assumptions; testing costs incurred against supporting documentation; testing the mathematical accuracy of cash flow projections; comparing the expected consideration inputs used in management calculations of the revenue to be recognized with the respective concession agreement. In the distribution segment, we evaluated expenditures capitalized by comparing with the terms and conditions of the concession agreement and relevant accounting standards; testing expenditures capitalized against supporting documentation and comparing expenditures capitalized against historical data and observable industry trends. We also evaluated the disclosures included in Notes 14, 15 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

  Impairment of investments in affiliates and jointly-controlled entities

 

Description of the matter

 

As described in Notes 16 and 32 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company periodically assesses for impairment its investments in affiliates and jointly-controlled entities accounted for as investees under the equity method or classified as assets held for sale. In 2021, as a result of such analysis, the Company concluded that there was indication of impairment in Madeira Energia S.A., Norte Energia S.A., Guanhães Energia S.A. and Renova Energia S.A. and, consequently, proceeded with the analysis and determination of their recoverable value, recognizing an impairment or a provision for additional losses based on the contractual obligations assumed by the Company, when applicable.

 

Auditing the Company's impairment assessment was complex and required significant auditor judgement as estimates underlying the fair value of evaluated assets are based on assumptions affected by future market and economic conditions, and to the existence of specific circumstances related to arbitration decisions issued, certain affiliates and jointly-controlled entities’ delayed commissioning operations and triggered going concern risks.

 

 

 

How we addressed the matter in our audit

 

To test the Company's impairment assessment our audit procedures included, among others, assessing the significant assumptions and financial and operating data used to estimate fair value; comparing the significant assumptions used to estimate prospective cash flows to current industry and economic trends; comparing relevant inputs to Company´s financial and operating data; performing a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the fair value estimate; involving our valuation specialists to assist in evaluating the discount rate and methodology used in the fair value calculation and assessing the need for and measuring provision for additional losses based on the contractual obligations assumed by the Company. We also evaluated the disclosures included in Notes 16 and 32 to the consolidated financial statements.

  Allegations of non-compliance with laws and regulations

 

Description of the matter

 

As described in Notes 16 and 36 to the consolidated financial statements, currently investigations and other legal measures are being conducted by public authorities in connection with the Company and certain investees. The governance bodies of the Company have authorized engaging a third-party investigator to analyze the internal procedures and to ascertain such claims.

 

Auditing the Company's assessment and conclusions over this matter was specially challenging as it involves significant judgment and due to inherent complexity of the internal investigation process.

 

 
How we addressed the matter in our audit To test the Company's assessment and conclusions of the internal investigation our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the report issued by a third party engaged by the Company to assist in the investigation of such allegations; understanding and evaluating the main actions taken by Management and governance bodies in relation to such allegations; inquiring of  the Audit Committee, members of the Investigation Committee and Management as well, as the Company's Compliance department; testing unusual transactions; involving  our investigations professionals to assist in our assessment of the Company’s investigation procedures and conclusions. We also evaluated the disclosures included in Notes 16 and 36 to the consolidated financial statements.

Madeira Energia S.A. - MESA

 

 

 

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Madeira Energia S.A. - MESA and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statement of operations, of comprehensive (loss) income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) (not presented herein). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Assessment of Impairment for long lived non-financial assets

 

As described in Note 3.8 c), 12 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements (not presented herein), the Company’s consolidated long lived non-financial assets balances amounted to R$ 19,316,488 thousand at December 31, 2020. Management evaluates impairment indicators for long lived non-financial assets. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the carrying value of the cash generating unit (CGU) to its recoverable amount, which is determined at the higher between its value in use and fair value less cost to disposal. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amounts of the CGU were determined by management at their estimated value in use. The process of estimating the recoverable amounts using value in use approach involves management´s significant judgments and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, projected operating profit and the discount rate.

 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment for long lived non-financial assets is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the value in use of the CGU; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, projected operating profit and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included, among others, understanding management’s process for developing the value in use estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the discount rate, revenue growth rates, and projected operating profit. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to revenue growth rates and projected operating profit involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the contractual conditions of the concession contract; (ii) the current and past performance of the CGU, (iii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iv) the consistency of these assumptions with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s management discounted cash flow model the discount rate assumption.

Assessment of Recoverability of Deferred taxes

 

As described in Note 11.2 to the consolidated financial statements (not presented herein), the Company’s consolidated deferred income and social contribution tax assets balances were R$ 507,820 thousand, at December 31, 2020. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences, income tax losses carryforwards and negative basis of social contribution, to the extent that they are considered probable by Company´s management, considering sufficient future taxable profits against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized, on individual entity level. The process of estimating the recoverability of deferred tax assets using a cash flow projection involves management´s significant judgments and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, projected operating and taxable profits.

 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the recoverability of deferred tax assets is a critical audit matter are (i) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, projected operating and taxable profits; and (ii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included, among others, understanding management’s process for estimating the recoverability of deferred tax assets; evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow projection, testing significant assumptions used by management in the projection of recoverability of deferred tax assets and testing the nature and amounts of the tax loss carryforwards, negative tax base and temporary differences. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s management cash flow projection.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG

 

 

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We have audited Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais – CEMIG (the Company) has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. Management has identified a material weakness related to the lack of design and execution of relevant controls on business processes, to fully address the requirements of the COSO criteria.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2021 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated May 16, 2022, which expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

 F-9 
 

 

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

 

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

c)    Covid-19

General Context

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized Covid-19 as a pandemic, reinforcing the restrictive measures recommendations to prevent the virus dissemination worldwide. These measures are based, mainly, on social distancing, which have been causing major negative impact on entities, affecting their production process, interrupting their supply chains, causing workforce shortages and closing of stores and facilities, demanding the developing measures to handle the economic crisis and reduce any possible effect.

 

On March 23, 2020, the Company established the Coronavirus Crisis Management Committee (‘Comitê Diretor de Gestão da Crise do Coronavírus’) to ensure its readiness to making decisions because of the fast-changing situation, which became more widespread, complex and systemic.

 

Also, in connection with recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health, aiming to contribute to the population and Brazilian authorities’ efforts to prevent the disease outbreak, the Company has implemented an operational contingency plan and several precautionary measures to keep its employees healthy and safe, including: security and health technicians contacting operational staff on a daily basis; interacting daily with subcontractors Social Service department to monitor the evolution of suspicious cases; changing the schedule to prevent gatherings; restricting national and international travel; suspending technical visits and events at Company’s facilities; using remote means of communication; adopting work-from-home policies for a substantial number of employees, which are gradually returning to work in-person until January, 2022, providing face masks for employees in external service or in service into its facilities, and requiring outsourcings providers to put the same procedures in place.

 

The Company also adopted the follow measures in order to contribute with society:

 

Flexible terms for the flow of payments and installments of amounts collected from clients, under the programs launched by the Company during 2020;
Launch, on April 20, 2021, of a campaign for negotiation enabling payment by low-voltage commercial customers in default in up to 12 monthly installments without interest, including exemption for 45 days from inflation updating not yet posted on invoices, aiming to keep the payment flow from small traders and services sector, to ensure their sustainability and contribute to their survival in the most critical period of the pandemic;
Joining of the civil society movement named ‘Unidos Pela Vacina’ (‘United for the Vaccine’), in order to collaborate effectively with the process of vaccination in the State of Minas Gerais, providing direct support to 425 municipalities. The Company’s participation took the form of voluntary involvement by its employees in support for transport and professional traveling to various municipalities to deliver vaccines to rural regions, including people who were bedridden, as well as the donation of R$3, to promote access to the vaccine to combat Covid-19 in municipalities of the State.

Impact of Covid-19 on Financial Statements

 

Since March, 2020, the Company has been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic impact on its business and the market in which it operates. The Company has implemented a series of precautionary measures to protect the health of its employees and to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in its operational and administrative facilities. The measures are in accordance with the recommendations of World Health Organization (WHO) and Brazilian Ministry of Health and aim to contribute with the populations and Brazilian authorities efforts, in order to prevent the virus dissemination. 

 

Facing great challenges because of the pandemic, Cemig has shown operational resilience and sustainability, enabling quality energy supply to society, ensuring the provision of uninterrupted service to hospitals and other public services. As an integrated Company, coordinated by diversified business in the energy generation, transmission, sale and distribution sectors, the Company maintains its solidity, with stable financial performance, allowing for risk reduction in negative scenarios.

 

As of December 31, 2021, from the observation of the pandemic’s economic effects, the Company assessed the assumptions used for calculating fair value and recoverable amount of certain financial and non-financial assets, as follows:

 

 

The subsidiary Cemig GT assessed whether the greater pressure on the exchange rate, combined with a lack of financial market liquidity, will have a negative impact on debt and derivative financial instruments hired to protect its operations against the risks arising from foreign exchange rate changes. At this point, given the current market conditions, the exposure to the exchange variation of the debt principal and the change in derivative instrument’s fair value, based on the forecasts of future interest and exchanges rates, and the semiannual settlement of derivatives instruments, resulting in a net loss of R$892 in 2021. The long-term projections carried out for the foreign exchange rate are lower than the current dollar quotation, which may represent a decrease in Company’s foreign exchange variation expense, if the projected scenario occurs. Seeking to diligently manage its liabilities, and reducing its liquidity risk and exposure to the US dollar, on August 05, 2021, Cemig GT launched its Cash Tender Offer to acquire its debt securities issued in the external market, maturing in 2024, with 9.25% annual coupon, until an amount of US$500. Additionally, on June 7 and 8, 2021 the hedge transactions contracted were partially settled, for a volume of US$500. This resulted in a reported gain in favor of the Company of US$774. For more details, see note 31 (b).
 F-23 
 

 

In measuring the expected loss from doubtful receivables, the Company assessed the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the measures taken to reduce the impact of the economic retraction on default. The Company has intensified measures to mitigate risks of default, with a specific campaign of negotiation with clients, individual collections through the courts, expansions of the channels for negotiation, and diversification of means of payment. The company believes that the measures adopted mitigated the effects of the economic crisis on collection of receivables. Aneel Resolution 928 and 936 extended the rule on suspension of supply of energy to the low-income sub-category of residential users, and certain other customers until December 31, 2021.
Management’s assumptions applied to determine the recoverable amount of the relevant investments in subsidiaries, joint-controlled entities and associates were not influenced significantly by the Covid-19 situation, since these investees’ cash flows are mainly related to long-term rights to commercial operation of the regulated activity. Therefore, no impairment losses were recognized to its investments in subsidiaries, joint-controlled entities and associates due to the economic crisis.
Despite the uncertainties related to the crisis unfolding and its potential long-term effects, the Company does not expect that the negative impact on its projections of likely future taxable profits might compromise the recoverability of its deferred tax assets.
The Company assessed the interest rates and discount rates that are the basis for calculation of Post-employment obligations and believes that these are not significantly affected by macroeconomic issues in the short and medium term, since the main assumptions used are long-term.
The Company also reviewed the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value to reflect the conditions and current rates projected, which impacts are presented in Note 31.
In the energy market, the volume of energy sold to captive customers, and transported for Free Customers and distributors with access to Cemig D’s networks, was up 5.1% from January to December of 2021, compared to the same period of 2020, reflecting the easing of social isolation requirements. This increase has two components: consumption by the captive market 0.6% higher, and use of the network by Free Customers 10.3% higher.

 

The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic disclosed in these financial statements were based on the Company’s best estimates and significant long-term effects are not expected.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

2.1Statement of compliance

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period.

 

Company’s management certifies that all relevant and material information in financial statements is being disclosed, which is used by management in its administration of the Company.

 

On May 16, 2022, the Company’s Audit Committee authorized the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

2.2    Basis of measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except in the case of certain financial instruments and assets as held for sale which are measured at fair value and fair value less costs to sell, in accordance with the standards applicable, as detailed in Note 31 and 32, respectively.

 

2.3Functional currency and presentation currency

 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Reais, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest million, except when otherwise indicated.

 

Transactions in foreign currency were converted to Reais at the exchange rate as of the transaction date. Balances of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to Reais at the exchange rates at the reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement or translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recorded in finance income and cost in the consolidated statement of income.

 

2.4Use of estimates and judgments

 

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Uncertainties about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

 F-25 
 

 

 

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, using as a reference both historical experience and any significant change in scenarios that could affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Revisions in relation to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are reviewed, and in any future periods affected.

The main estimates and judgments that have a signficant effect in the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

  Provision for expected credit losses of accounts receivable — Note 8;

  Deferred income tax and social contribution tax — Note 10;

  Financial assets and liabilities of the concession — Note 14;

  Concession contract assets — Note 15;

  Investments — Note 16;

  Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) and useful life of assets — Note 17;

  Intangible assets and useful life of assets — Note 18;

  Leasing transaction — Note 19;

  Amounts to be refunded to customers — Note 21;

  Employee post-employment obligations — Note 24;

  Provisions — Note 25;

  Unbilled revenue — Note 27;

  Financial instruments measurement and fair value measurement — Note 31;

  Assets held for sale measurement — Note 32.

 

The settlement of the transactions involving those estimates may result in amounts different from those recorded in the financial statements due to the uncertainty inherent to the estimation process. The Company reviews its significant estimates at least annually.

 

2.5    New accounting standards, interpretation or amendments of accounting standards, applied for the first time in 2021

 

The Company applied the amendments of IFRS 16, effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2021 or later, which provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, when certain conditions are met, as a practical expedient.

 

These amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

 F-26 
 

 

2.6    Standards issued but not yet effective

 

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

 

IAS 1 — Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current: In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify: (I) what is meant by a right to defer settlement; (ii) that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period; (iii) that classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right; (iv) that only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and must be applied retrospectively.

 

IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before intended use: In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16 which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, these proceeds from the selling such items and the costs of producing those items must be recognized in profit or loss. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment.

IFRS 3 — Business Combinations — Amendment to ‘Reference to the Conceptual Framework’: As well as the changes related to the reference to the Conceptual Framework, which did not significantly alter the standards required, the Board added an exception to the recognition principle in IFRS 3, aiming to avoid the issue of potential “Day 2” gains and losses arising from such liabilities and contingent liabilities as are within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, if incurred separately. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and apply prospectively.

IAS 37 — Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets — Onerous Contracts: The amendment specifies which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. It applies a “directly-related cost approach”: Costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the terms of the contract. . The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and its application is prospective. The Company do not expect any impacts arising from this amendment, which will be applied to contracts whose obligations have not been fullfilled at the beginning of the annual period in which they are first adopted.

 F-27 
 

 

 

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments — Commissions and fees in the ‘10 per cent’ test for derecognition of financial liabilities. The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2022 and applies prospectively.

IAS 08 — Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Correction of Errors: The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies and correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period.

 

IAS 01 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Making Materiality Judgements – Disclosure of accounting policies: These amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. These amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non-mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary.

 

2.7Summary of significant accounting policies

 

The significant accounting policies described below have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, except for the practices which were applied prospectively as from 2021, in accordance with the standards and regulations described in Item 2.1 — Compliance statement.

 

The accounting policies relating to Company’s present operations that require judgment and the use of specific valuation criteria are the following:

 

 F-28 
 

 

 

a)Financial instruments

 

Financial instruments are classified, at initial recognition, as measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss, depending on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them.

 

Fair value through profit or loss: this includes the concession financial assets related to energy and gas distribution segment infrastructure. The financial assets related to energy distribution infrastructure are measured at the expected New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de Reposição, or VNR), as defined in the concession agreement, which represent the fair value of the residual value of the infrastructure as of the balance sheet date. The financial assets related to gas distribution infrastructure are measured based on the fair value of the indemnity established in the concession contract. The Company recognizes a financial asset resulting from a concession contract when it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from, or under the direction of the grantor for the services of construction and maintenance of the infrastructure.

 

This category also include cash equivalents, marketable securities not classified at amortized cost, derivative financial instruments and indemnities receivable from the generation assets.

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term highly liquid deposits, subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, maintained to carry out the Company’s short-term cash management.

 

The disclosures about the main assumptions used in fair value measurement are summarized in the respective notes.

 

Derivative financial instruments (Swap transactions and call spread): The Company maintains derivative instruments to manage its exposure to the risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (US dollar). Derivative instruments are recognized initially at their fair value and the related transaction costs are recognized in the Statement of income when they are incurred. After initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

 

Derivative financial instruments (Put options) — The options to sell to Cemig GT units of the FIP Melbourne and FIP Malbec funds (‘the SAAG PUT’) were measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) method until the exercising date of the options, that occurred in 2020.

 

Amortized cost: This includes accounts receivables from customers, traders and concession holders; restricted cash; escrow deposits in litigation; marketable securities with the intention of holding them until maturity and the terms of their contracts originate known cash flows that constitute exclusively payments of principal and interest; concession financial assets related to generation concession grant fee; accounts receivable from related parties; suppliers; loans and debentures; debt agreed with the pension fund (Forluz); concessions payable; the Minas Gerais State PRCT Tax Amnesty Program; assets and liabilities related to the CVA account and Other financial components in tariff adjustments; the low-income subsidy; reimbursement of tariff subsidies; and other credits.

 F-29 
 

 

 

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (EIR). Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

 

Additional disclosures of financial instruments are presented in Note 31. Information of expected credit losses is presented in Note 8.

 

 

b)Receivables from customers, traders and concession holders

 

Accounts receivable from customers, traders and power transport concession holders are initially recognized at the sales value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. These receivables are stated including sales tax and net of withholding taxes, which are recognized as recoverable taxes.

 

In order to estimate future losses on receivables, the Cemig D adopted a simplified approach, considered that the accounts receivable from customers do not have significant financial components, and calculated the expected loss considering the historical average of non-collection over the total billed in each month (based on the last 24 months of billing), segregated by type of customer and projected for the next 12 months, taking into account the age of maturity of invoices, including those not yet due and unbilled.

  

The expected losses for overdue accounts of customers that renegotiated their debt is measured based on the maturity date of the original invoice, despite the new terms negotiated. Expected losses are fully recognized for accounts overdue for more than 12 months.

 

Expected losses for invoices unbilled, not yet due or less than 12 months past due are measured according to the potential default events, or losses of credit expected for the whole life of a financial instrument, if the credit risk has significantly increased since its initial recognition.

 

For large customers, the provision for doubtful receivables is recorded based on estimates by Management, in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses. The main criteria used by the Company are: (i) customers with significant open balances, the receivable balance is analyzed based on the debt history, negotiations in progress, and asset guarantees; and (ii) for large customers, an individual analysis of the debtors and the initiatives in progress to realize the receivables.

 

The Annual Permitted Revenue (‘Receita Anual Permitida’ - RAP) is the consideration received as revenue from the investment in the national grid as well as the construction or upgrades, operation and maintenance services. The revenues from the energy transmission concession contracts is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied. The contract asset is reclassified to financial asset, falling within the scope of IFRS 9, after the issuance of the credit notice, monthly issued by ONS, authorizing RAP billing, which is when the right to consideration is unconditional. Revenues are recognized at the transaction price and the assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, adjusted by impairment losses, when applicable, and recognizing the deferred taxes. As required by IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, the financial asset carrying amount is analyzed and, when applicable, a loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognized.

 

 F-30 
 

 

 

c)

Investments in affiliates and jointly controlled entities

 

The Company hold investments in affiliates and jointly controlled entities. The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. These investments are accounted using the equity method and are initially recognized at acquisition cost, equivalent to the consideration transferred measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

 

The difference between the amount paid (the cost of the investment) and the entity’s share of the net fair value is recognized in Investments as:

 

(i)       added value, when the economic basis is substantially related to the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired; and

(ii)       goodwill premium, when the amount paid is higher than the fair value of the net assets, and this difference represents the expectation of generation of future value.

 

The goodwill premium arising from the acquisition is tested annually for impairment.

 

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its affiliates or jointly controlled entities. At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the affiliates or jointly controlled entities is impaired. If there is such evidence, the investment carrying amount is subject to impairment testing.

 

The financial statements of the associates and jointly controlled subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting periods as the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

 

The Company’s interest in consortia is accounted in accordance with IFRS 11 — Joint ventures, and these investments are recognized in accordance with the Company’s participation in any assets and/or liabilities held or assumed jointly. The result of these investments is recognized in proportion to the Company’s participation in the sale of energy produced by the joint operation as well as in its expenses.

 

 

d)Business combinations

 

A business combination occurs when the Company acquires control of a business, whatever its legal form. The Company determines that it has acquired a business when the group of activities and assets acquired includes, at least, an input — entry of funds, and a substantive process, which together contribute materially to the capacity to generate output — an outflow of funds. 

 

The Company accounts business combinations using the acquisition method. Thus, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date at fair value, as well as the amount of any non-controlling interests. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 

 

 F-31 
 

 

In the process of allocating the purchase price at the acquisition-date of subsidiaries that holds a concession, the fair value relating to the identifiable right to commercial operation of the regulated activity is recognized as an intangible assets with a finite useful life.

 

When a business combination is carried out in stages (“step-acquisition method”), the interest previously held by the Company in its investee is remeasured at the fair value at the acquisition date and the corresponding gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the statement of income. 

 

 

 

e)Concession assets

 

Energy and Gas Distribution segment: Concession infrastructure under construction is initially recorded as contract assets, in accordance with IFRS 15 and IFRIC 12, considering that the Company is entitled to consideration for performance completed to date, and, only when the construction phases ends, has the right to charge for the services provided to customers or receive an indemnity at the end of the concession period for assets not yet amortized. Construction revenues equivalent to new infrastructure are measured at construction cost plus margin. Construction cost include borrowing costs. Once the assets start operations, and the performance obligation in relation to the construction service is fulfilled, such assets are reclassified or allocated to financial assets or intangible assets. 

 

The portion of the infrastructure to be amortized during the concession period is recorded as an intangible asset, as provided for in IFRIC 12 – Concession contracts, and subsequently measured at cost less amortization. The amortization rates reflect the expected pattern of their consumption and are measured based on the asset carrying amount using the straight-line method.

 

 F-32 
 

 

The Company recognizes a financial asset for the residual value of the infrastructure at the end of the concession, representing an unconditional right to receive cash or another financial asset directly from the Grantor. This portion is subsequently measured at the estimated fair value, which represents the Replacement Value (Valor Novo de reposição, or VNR), based on the Regulatory Remuneration Base of Assets ratified by the grantor (through the regulator Aneel) in the tariff review processes.

 

Transmission segment: When construction is finalized, concession infrastructure assets remain as contract asset, considering the existence of performance obligations during the concession period, represented by the network construction, operation and maintenance, as there is no unconditional right to receive the consideration for the construction service unless the company operates and maintains the infrastructure. The contract asset is reclassified as a financial asset (accounts receivable) only after the performance obligation to operate and maintain the infrastructure is satisfied, since from that point nothing more than the passage of time is necessary for the consideration to be received. The cost related to the infrastructure construction is recognized as incurred in the statement of income. The construction or upgrade services revenues are recognized in accordance with the stage of completion of the construction service, based on the costs actually incurred, including construction margin.

 

The margin added to the performance obligation related to the construction and improvements is based on Company’s expectations regarding its project’s profitability.

 

When adjusting the amount of consideration for the concession contract asset financing component, the Company uses the discount rate which reflects the Company’s estimation of the financing of the transmission infrastructure investments. This reflects the rate that discounts the nominal amount of the consideration to the price that the customer (which is deemed to be the Grantor) would pay in cash for the goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the customer. The interest rates implicit in the contract are defined at the beginning of the investments and take into account the credit risk of the counterparty.

 

When the tariff set is changed at the time of the periodic tariff reviews, the contract asset is remeasured, discounting the expected future cashflows (RAPs) using the contract original discount rate, implicit in the contract. The amount remeasured is confronted to the carrying amount and the difference is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification (the adjustment to revenue is made on a cumulative catch-up basis).

 

Consideration monthly received is allocated to revenue related to the operation and maintenance service and to the collection of the contract asset related to the construction service based on their relative fair value.

 

Financial portion of remuneration and depreciation unpaid since the extensions of concessions in accordance with Law 12,783/2013: corresponding to the financial portion of remuneration for the assets related to the Existing Basic System Network (RBSE), that represents the amount payable from the date of the extension of the concessions until it was incorporated into the tariff (January 1, 2013 until June 30, 2017), to be collected over a period of eight years.

 F-33 
 

 

 

The amounts to be received are subject to the applicable regulatory rules in the tariff process, including the mechanisms that monitor and measure efficiency. In this new context, the unconditional right to consideration depends on the satisfaction of the performance obligation to operate and maintain, and is, thus, characterized as a contract asset and it is only reclassified to financial assets after an authorizing dispatch by Aneel to satisfied obligations.

 

Generation segment: The concession rights paid for the concession contracts granted by the Brazilian Grantor (Aneel) in November 2015, are classified as a financial asset, at amortized cost, as it represents an unconditional right to receive cash, adjusted by the IPCA index, and remuneratory interest, during the period of the concession. 

 

In 2021, due to the concession extension of the hydroelectric plants participating in the ‘Mecanismo de Realocação de Energia’ (‘MRE'), relating to the compensation for non-hydrological risks specified in Law 14,052/2020, an intangible asset was recognized. The concession extension right, granted by such law, was classified as an intangible asset because it enables the plants to be used to generate revenues arising from sale of the energy produced for a period longer than the one specified in their original contracts. The intangible was measured at fair value at initial recognition. The asset is amortized using the straight-line method for the remaining period of the concession. For more details see Note 18.

 

 

 

f)Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are mainly comprised of the right provided in service concession contracts as described in topic (e) above as well as software. Intangible assets are stated at cost, less amortization, and any accumulated impairments when applicable. Amortization rates are shown in Note 18.

 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of an intangible asset, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is included in the statement of income when the asset is derecognized.

 

 

g)Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost, including deemed cost (upon initial application of IFRSs), decommissioning costs and capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if there is.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in certain circumstances, the concession term, whatever is shorter. Depreciation rates are shown in Note 17.

 

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of a property, plant and equipment, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is included in the statement of income when the asset is derecognized.

 

 F-34 
 

 

 

 

 

h)Impairment

 

In assessing impairment of financial assets, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recovery and the amounts of loss incurred, adjusted to reflect management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

 

Additionally, management revises, annually, the carrying amount of non-financial assets, for the purpose of assessing if there is any indication, such as events or changes in the economic, operational or technological conditions that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing of an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is defined as the higher between its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized, adjusting the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit to its recoverable amount.

 

 

i)Employee benefits

 

The liability recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position related the Company’s retirement benefit pension plan obligations, is the greater of: (a) the amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of the pension plan for amortization of the actuarial obligations, and (b) the present value of the actuarial obligation, as calculated by a qualified actuary, less the fair value of the plan’s assets, and adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses. The actuarial valuation involves use of assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future increases in retirement and pension benefits. The assumptions are reviewed at each data base. For more information on the assumptions used, see Note 24.

 

Expenses related to the debt agreed upon with the pension trust fund were recorded in finance income (expenses), because they represent financial interest and inflation adjustment. Other expenses related to the pension fund were recorded as operating expenses.

 

Actuarial gains and losses arising as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income and shall not be reclassified to income statement in a subsequent period.

 

The past service cost, due change or withdrawal of the defined benefit plan, and the gain or loss on settlement of obligations, are determined by remeasurement of the net present value of the obligation, using the revised actuarial assumptions, and is recognized directly in the income statement for the year in which the change, withdrawal or settlement is made.

 

Short-term benefits to employees: Employees’ profit sharing as determined in the Company’s by-laws are recorded in accordance with the collective agreement established with the employees’ union and recorded in employees’ and managers’ profit sharing in the statement of income.

 

 F-35 
 

 

 

j)Income tax and social contribution tax

 

The income tax and social contribution tax expenses represents the total amount of current and deferred taxes, which are presented separately in the financial statements. The Company is subject to the regular tax regime ‘Lucro Real’. However, its subsidiaries that can benefit from the favorable tax regime, according to tax law, analyze the payable tax projection for the next year, in order to determine the tax regime that reduces its taxes payment.

 

Deferred and current tax related to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income (OCI) are recognized directly in equity.

 

Periodically, in accordance with IFRIC 23, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluate positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

 

Current

 

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

Advances, or tax credits, are presented as current or non-current assets, in accordance with the expected date of their realization at the balance sheet date, when the tax amounts are duly calculated and offset against advances made.

 

Deferred

 

Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base at the reporting date.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all the inter-temporal tax differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all the temporary differences deductible and unused tax losses or unused tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available for the temporary differences to be offset, except:

 

 

When the deferred tax (asset or liability) arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
 F-36 
 

 

 

These taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution tax assets are reviewed at the reporting date, and are reduced to the extent that their realization is no longer probable or recognized to the extent that it becomes probable that future taxable profits will allow them to be recovered.

 

The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

 

 

k)Government grants

 

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with.

 

The Company has operations in an area incentivized by SUDENE and recognize its right to a 75% reduction in income tax, including the 10% additional. Such tax incentives, in the form of exemption or reduction of income tax, comply with the concept of government grants and are recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related income tax expense for which it is intended to compensate, is recorded.

 

Given the legal restriction on the profit distribution corresponding to the tax incentive, the Company maintains the amount related to the incentive granted in a tax incentive reserve.

 

In addition, the Company receives amounts from the Energy Development Account (CDE) as reimbursement for subsidies on tariffs granted to users of the public energy distribution service. These amounts are recognized as revenue in the income statement in a monthly basis, at the moment that the Company acquire the right of receive them.

 

 

l)Non-current assets classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

 

The Company classify non-current assets as held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered, principally, through a sale transaction rather than through continuous use. This condition is met only when the asset (or group of assets) is available for immediate sale in its current condition subject only to usual and customary terms for the sale of the asset (or group of assets) and its sale is considered highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale which is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance expenses and income tax expenses.

 

 F-37 
 

 

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the Statement of financial position.

Fixed assets (PP&E) and Intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized as long as they are classified as held for sale. Dividends received from jointly controlled entities and affiliates, classified as held for sale, are recognized in the Income statement, in view of the discontinuation of measurement by the equity method, under IFRS 5.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

 

represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

 

Discontinued operations are excluded from the reported profit from continuing operations, and are presented as a single amount, after taxes, based on discontinued operations, in the statement of income.

 

Additional disclosures are presented in Note 32. All the other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, except when otherwise stated.

 

 

m)Revenue recognition

 

In general, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred, which must be allocated to that performance obligation. The revenue is recognized only when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer, considering the customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.

 

Revenues from the sale of energy are measured based on the energy supplied and the tariffs specified in the terms of the contract or in effect in the market. Revenues from supply of energy to final customers are recorded when the delivery has taken place. The billing is carried out monthly. Unbilled supply of energy, from the period between the last billing and the end of each month, is estimated based on the supply contracted and on the volume of energy delivered but not yet billed. In the case of the distribution concession contract, the unbilled revenue is estimated based on the volume of energy consumed and unbilled in the period. The supply is billed in monthly basis in accordance with the metering calendar in accordance with the sector’s regulations.

 

Historically, the differences between the estimated amounts and the actual revenues recognized are not significant.

 

Revenues from use of the distribution system (TUSD) received by the Company from other concession holders and other customers that use the distribution network are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. Unbilled retail supply of energy, from the period between the last measured consumption, according to the schedules specified in the concession regulation, and the end of each month is estimated based on the billing from the previous month or the contractual amount. Historically, the differences between the estimated amounts and the actual revenues recognized are not significant.

 F-38 
 

 

 

The ‘Parcel A’ revenue and other financial components in tariff adjustments are recognized in the Statement of income when the energy acquisition costs effectively incurred are different from those considered by the Grantor to stablishes the energy distribution tariff.

 

Any adjustment of expected cash flows from the concession financial asset of the energy distribution concession contract is presented as operating revenue, together with the other revenues related to the energy distribution services.

 

Revenues from supply of gas are recorded when the delivery has taken place, based on the volume measured and billed and the tariffs specified in the terms of the contract. The billing is carried out monthly. In addition, unbilled supply of gas, from the period between the last billing and the end of each month, is estimated based on the volume of gas delivered but not yet billed. Historically, the differences between the estimated amounts and the actual revenues recognized are not significant and are recorded in the following month.

 

Revenues from transmission concession services are recognized in the Statement of income monthly and include:

 

Construction revenue corresponds to the performance obligation to build the transmission infrastructure, recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligation over time. They are measured based on the cost incurred, including PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over the total revenues and the profit margin of the project.
Operation and maintenance revenue corresponds to the performance obligation of operation and maintenance specified in the transmission concession contract, after termination of the construction phase. They are recognized when the services are rendered and the invoices for the RAPs are issued.
Interest revenue in the contract asset recognized, recorded as transmission concession gross revenue in statement income. Revenue corresponds to the significant financing component in the contract asset and is recognized by the linear effective interest rate method based on the rate determined at the beginning of the investments, which is not subsequently changed. Company’s average implicit rates is 6.86%. The rates are determined for each authorization and are applied on the amount to be received (future cash flow) over the life of contract. This includes financial updating by the inflation index specified for each transmission contract.

 

The services provided include charges for connection and other related services; the revenues are recognized when the services are rendered.

 F-39 
 

 

 

The profit margin on operation and maintenance of transmission infrastructure is determined based on the individual sale price of the service, based on available information costs incurred for the provision of services of operation and maintenance, on the value of the consideration that the entity expects to have the right in exchange for the services promised to the client, in cases where the Company’s transmission subsidiaries have the right, separately, to the remuneration for the activity of operation and maintenance, as per IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with clients.

 

The Resolution Aneel 729/2016 regulates the variable portion (‘Parcela Variável’ or ‘PV’), which is the pecuniary penalty applied by the grantor as a result of any unavailability’s or operational restrictions on facilities that are part of the National Grid and the surcharge corresponding to the pecuniary bonuses provided to concessionaries as an incentive to improve the transmissions facilities availability. The Company assessed the PV effects, based on historical data, and concluded that recognizing the occasional variable consideration arising from the PV estimated would not result in relevant account information. Therefore, for both situations described, it is recognized as an adjustment to revenue, either as an increase or a reduction of operation and maintenance revenue, when it occurs and the amount is deemed to be significant.

 

 

 

n)Sales tax

 

Expenses and non-current assets acquired are recognized net of the amount of sales taxes when they are recoverable from the taxation authority.

 

 

o)Finance income and expenses

 

Finance income is mainly comprised of interest income on funds invested, monetary adjustments on overdue receivables and interest income on other financial assets and liabilities. Interest income is recognized in the Statement of income using the effective interest method.

 

Finance expenses include interest expense on borrowings, and foreign exchange and monetary adjustments on borrowing costs of debt, financings and debentures. They also include the negative change in fair value on other financial assets and liabilities. Interest expense on the Company’s borrowings that is not capitalized is recognized in the Statement of income using the effective interest method.

 

 

p)Cash dividends

A liability to pay a dividend is recognized when the distribution is authorized or is enforced by law or Company’s bylaws and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company.

 

 

q)Segment reporting

 

The operating results of all operating segments for which discrete financial information is available, are reviewed regularly by the Company’s CEO, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment, and to assess its performance.

 F-40 
 

 

 

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to the segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters) and head office expenses.

 

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire concession financial assets, intangible assets, concession contract assets and property, plant and equipment.

On 2021, the Company reassessed its operating segments and started disclosing its business segments of Trading, Holdings and Inter-segment Transactions, as a single segment. Due to the Company’s reassessment the corresponding information from previous years are being restated. More details see Note 5.

 

 

r)Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a time in exchange for consideration. Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The contracts that contain a lease component are described in Note 19. 

When recording a lease operation, the lessee recognizes a liability to make the payments (a lease liability) and an asset, representing the right to use the subject asset during the period of the leasing (an asset of right to use). 

Right-of-use assets

Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as described in Note 19.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

 F-41 
 

 

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

 

The Company recognize separately the expenses of interest on the lease liability and the expense of depreciation of the asset of the right to use.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases. It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

 

3.PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The year end of the financial statements of subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities is the same as Cemig’s year end. Accounting practices are applied uniformly in line with those used by Cemig.

 

The following subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements:

 

 

Subsidiary (1)  Form of valuation  2021  2020
         Direct interest, %    Indirect interest, %    Direct interest, %    Indirect interest, % 
Cemig Geração e Transmissão   Consolidation    100.00        100.00     
Cemig Distribuição   Consolidation    100.00        100.00     
Gasmig   Consolidation    99.57        99.57     
Cemig Geração Distribuída               100.00     
Cemig Sim   Consolidation    100.00        100.00     
Centroeste   Consolidation            100.00     

 

(1)On November 24, 2021, an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company approved an increase in its share capital, through subscription of the investment held in Centroeste, completing the corporate restructuring authorized by Cemig’s Board of Directors on February 12, 2021. Thus, this investee is no longer directly consolidated by the Company.

 

 

 F-42 
 

 

a)Subsidiaries, jointly controlled and affiliated entities

 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements as from the date on which control is obtained, until the date on which control ceases. The assets, liabilities and profit (loss) of the subsidiaries are consolidated using full consolidation. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are aligned with the policies adopted by the Company.

 

The Company controls an investee when its existing rights give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

 

When the Company loses controls of an investee, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position, at the date when control is lost. Any investment retained in the former subsidiary is recognized at its fair value and any resulting difference is recognized as gain or loss in the statement of income.

 

Jointly controlled and affiliated entities are accounted for under the equity method.

b)       Consortia

 

The Company recognizes the proportional interest in the consortium operations assets, liabilities and expenses as well as in the sale of the energy produced by them since these investments are considered to be ‘joint operations’ in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 11.

 

c)        Transactions eliminated in consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with investee companies accounted for under the equity method are eliminated against the investment in proportion to the Company’s equity interests in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains are eliminated, but only up to the point at which there is no evidence of impairment.

*The concession contract that were eligible for extension of the concession grant as a result of the renegotiation of hydrological risk (GSF) await a call from Aneel for signature of the amendment; and the eligible plants for which the grants were given by authorizing resolution await reformulation of those acts to contain the new dates. More details see Note 18.
(1)Generation concession contracts that are not within the scope of IFRIC 12, whose infrastructure assets are recorded as PP&E since the concession grantor does not have control over whom the service is provided to as the output is being sold mainly in the Free Market (‘ACL’).
(2)On July 17, 2020, Cemig GT filed a statement of its interest in extending these plants concession, under the independent producer regime, outside the regime of quotas, to ensure its right of option under the legislative changes currently under discussion, relating to the group of measures to modernize the electricity sector. Any actual decision will only be made after publication by the Brazilian Mining and Energy Ministry and by the grantor, Aneel, of the conditions for extension, which will be submitted to decision by Cemig’s governance bodies at the due time.
(3)Generation concession contracts within the scope of IFRIC 12, under which Cemig has the right to receive cash and therefore, recognizes a concession financial assets.
(4)This refers to concessions, given by the process of authorization, for generation, as an independent power producer, of wind power, sold under the Proinfa program. The assets tied to the right of commercial operation are recorded in PP&E. The rights of authorization of commercial operation that are classified as an Intangible.
(5)These refer to transmission concession contracts, for which a contract asset was recognized upon the application of IFRS 15, for being subject to satisfaction of performance obligations.

 

(6)Concession contracts that are within the scope of IFRIC 12 and under which the concession infrastructure assets are recorded under the intangible and financial assets bifurcation model, and in compliance with IFRS 15, the infrastructure under construction has been classified as a contract asset. On August 5, 2021, Gasmig was informed by an Official Letter from the Minas Gerais State Economic Development Department: (i) that the date of closing of the present tariff cycle had been brought forward to December 31, 2021; and (ii) of the start of the process of Periodic Tariff Review, which will take into account previously decided methodology, based on fundamental criteria such as clients’ profile, costs of operation and investments.
(7)Aneel approved, through Authorizing Resolution n. 9.735, on February 23, 2021, the transfer of the concession contract from Cemig GT to Cemig Poço Fundo. This transfer was formally agreed on April 16, 2021, resulting in a new contract (01/2021).

 

On December 6, 2019, Aneel suspended Igarapé Plant commercial operation upon Cemig GT’s claim for early termination of its concession contract, and, as a result, the corresponding assets were written-off from Cemig GT’s financial statement position. In February, 2021, the Thermal Plant Igarapé concession of was extinct by the Brazilian Mining and Energy Ministry, in consideration of the termination request submitted by Cemig GT.

 

Generation concessions

In the generation business, the Company sells energy:

 

(1)        Through auctions, to distributors to meet the demands of their captive markets; and

(2)        To free customers in the free market (Ambiente de Contratação Livre, or ACL).

In the free market, energy is traded by the generation concession holders, small hydro plants (PCHs, or SHPs), self-producers, traders, and importers of energy.

 

There is also revenue from the spot market, which remunerates agents for de-contracted energy, which is settled at the Spot Price (PLD).

 

Transmission concessions

Under the transmission concession contracts, the Company, through its subsidiaries, is authorized to charge a Tariff for use of the Transmission System (Tarifa de Uso do Sistema de Transmissão, or TUST). Tariffs are adjusted annually on the same date the Permitted Annual Revenue (Receitas Anuais Permitidas, or RAP) of transmission concessions contracts is adjusted by the grantor. This tariff is in effect from July 1 of each year, upon its publication, until June 30 of the subsequent year.

 

The payment for use of transmission service also applies to generation provided by the Itaipu Binacional. However, due to the legal characteristics of that plant, the corresponding charges are assumed by the holders of distribution concessions that hold quotas of its output.

 

Onerous concessions

When obtaining the concessions for construction of certain generation projects, the Company is required to make payments to the grantor over the period of the contract or for up to 5 years upon signature of the concession contract for plants with installed capacity between 1 and 50 MW, as compensation for the right to operate them. The information on the concessions and the amounts to be paid are as follows:

Schedule of concession and amount to be paid

Project  Nominal value in 2021  Present value in 2021  Period of the concession  Updating indexer
Irapé   42    21    03/2006 – 02/2035   IGPM
Queimado (Consortium)   12    6    01/2004 – 12/2032   IGPM

 

The contracts for three Small Hydro Plants (SHPs) — Luiz Dias, Salto Morais and Xicão — with installed capacity of 1,620kW, 2,394kW and 1,808kW, respectively, were extinguished by Aneel at Cemig GT’s request, by authorizing resolutions of October 13, 2020, without reversion of assets, for further register as small hydropower plant with intalled capacity lower than 5MW (so-called ‘Central Geradora Hidrelétrica — CGH’ under Brazillian law), under the legislation and regulations. Cemig GT continues to operate these plants. The concession for the Salto Morais Plant was terminated in July 2020, and since its power is lower than 5 MW, its commercial operation rights were converted into registration, which does not require a concession grant or authorization.

 

Cemig generate energy from nine hydroelectric plants that have the capacity of 5MW or less, including those mentioned in the previous paragraph — having a total installed capacity of 11.53MW, and thus under Law 9,074/95, these are dispensed from concession, permission or authorization, and do not have a final concession date.

 

 F-45 
 

 

The concessions fees are paid monthly to the grantor for an amount that changes over time. These payments are recorded as an intangible asset, representing a right to operate the concession and to charge users through the concession period, they are recorded as from the date of signature of the contracts at the present value of the future payment obligations.

 

The amounts paid to the grantor in 2021, the nominal value and the present value of the amounts to be paid in the next 12 months, are as follows:

 

Project  Interest, %  Amounts paid in 2021  Amounts to be paid in the next 12 months
Irapé   100.00    3    3 
Queimado (Consortium)   82.50    1    1 
(*)Under Aneel Resolution 467/2011 the power plants with total installed generation capacity of 1 to 50 MW must pay Aneel for five years, starting on the date that the concession contract is signed.

 

The rate used by the Company to discount the above liabilities to its present value, was 12.50%, and represents the average cost of funding in normal conditions on the date the concession contract was entered into.

 

Distribution concessions

The Company operates the concession for the distribution of energy in the greater part of the State of Minas Gerais, which expires in December 2045.

According to the concession contract, all assets and facilities that are used in the provision of the distribution service and which have been constructed by the concession holder are considered part of the assets of the related concession and must be returned to the grantor at the end of the contract. Cemig is entitled to receive a payment for the residual value of the infrastructure assets at the end of the concession contract taking into consideration the amounts involved and the timing when they became part of the infrastructure.

The Company is not subject to make any payments to the grantor in order to operate the concessions but is has to comply with certain quality standards and make infrastructure investments.

 

The concession contracts and the Brazilian legislation establish a mechanism of maximum prices that allows for three types of adjustments to tariffs: (i) an annual tariff adjustment; (ii) periodic review of tariffs; and (iii) extraordinary reviews.

 

Each year the Company has the right to request for the annual adjustment, the purpose of which is to be compensated the effects of inflation on the tariffs, and to allow for certain changes in costs that are outside the Company’s control to be passed through to customers — for example the cost of energy purchased for resale and sector charges including charges for the use of the transmission and distribution facilities.

 

Also, the grantor performs a Periodic Review of tariffs every five years, which aims to adjust due to changes in the Company’s costs, and to establish a factor based on scale gains, which will be applied in the annual tariff adjustments, for the purpose of sharing such gains with the Company’s customers.

 

 F-46 
 

 

The Company also has the right to request an extraordinary review of tariffs in the event that any unforeseen development significantly affects the economic-financial equilibrium of the concession. The Periodic Review and the Extraordinary Review are subject, to a certain degree, to the discretion of the grantor, although there are pre-established provisions for each revision cycle.

Under the distribution concession contracts, the Company is authorized to charge customers a tariff consisting of two components: (i) A component related to costs of energy purchased for resale, charges for use of the transmission grid and charges for use of the distribution system that are not under its control (‘Parcel A costs’); and (ii) a portion relating to operating costs (‘Parcel B costs’).

 

Fifth Amendment to concession contract

 

On December 21, 2015, Cemig D signed, with the Mining and Energy Ministry, the Fifth Amendment to its concession contracts, extending its energy distribution concessions for an additional 30 years, starting January 1, 2016.

 

The principal characteristics and terms of the Amendment are as follows:

The annual tariff adjustment will occur on May 28 of each year, according the rules set for in Clause 6 of the Amendment will be applied.
Limitation of in the distribution of dividends and/or payment of Interest on Equity to the minimum established by law, in the envent of non-compliance with the annual indicators for outages (DECi and FECi) for two consecutive years, or three times in a period of five years, until the regulatory parameters are restored.
There is a requirement for injections of capital from the controlling shareholder in an amount sufficient to meet the minimum conditions for economic and financial sustainability.

 

Subject to the compliance of efficiency criteria related to continuity of supply and the economic and financial management to guarantee the concession’s operations, being assured the right to a full defense and the right to appeal, as: (i) for five years starting January 1, 2016, any non-compliance for two consecutive years, or non-compliance with any of the conditions at the end of five years, will result in cancelation of the concession contract; (ii) starting January 1, 2021, any non-compliance for three consecutive years with the criteria of efficiency in continuity of supply, or for two consecutive years with the criteria of efficiency in economic and financial management, will result in proceedings to establish expiration of the concession.

 

The criteria of efficiency in economic and financial management are as follows:

 

Operational cash generation (–) QRR1 (–) interest on the debt2 ≥ 0;
Ebitda 3 ≥ 0 (by the end of 2017, maintained in 2018, 2019 and 2020);
 F-47 
 

 

[Ebitda (–) QRR] ≥ 0 (by the end of 2018, maintained in 2019 and 2020);
{Net debt4 / [Ebitda (–) QRR]} ≤ 1 / (80% of the Selic rate) (by the end of 2019); and,
{Net debt / [Ebitda (–) QRR]} ≤ 1 / (111% of the Selic rate) (by the end of 2028).

 

1.     QRR = ‘Regulatory reintegration quota’, or Regulatory depreciation expense.

2.     Net debt x 111% of the Selic rate.

3.     Calculated according to the method defined by the grantor (Aneel), contained in distribution concession contract.

4.     Gross debt, less financial assets.

 

Cemig D was in compliance with above criteria of efficiency as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Gas distribution concessions

 

The concessions for distribution of natural gas are granted by each Brazilian state. In the state of Minas Gerais, the tariffs for natural gas are set by the grantor, the State’s Economic Development Secretariat, by market segment. The tariffs is comprised of a portion for the cost of gas and a portion for the distribution of gas. Each quarter the tariffs are adjusted to pass through the cost of gas, and once a year they are adjusted to update the portion allocated to cover the costs relating to the provision of the distribution service — remuneration of invested capital and to cover all the operating, commercial and administrative expenses of the concession holder.

In addition to these adjustments, there are periodic reviews of tariffs. The first periodic review of tariff, referred to the 2018-22 cycle, was concluded in 2019. These reviews may occurr every five years from the end of the first cycle, to evaluate the changes in the costs of the Gasmig and update the tariffs. The concession contract also specifies the possibility of an extraordinary review of tariffs if any event occurs that puts the economic-financial balance of the concession at risk.

 

On September 19, 2019 Gasmig signed, with the State of Minas Gerais as Grantor, the third amendment to the concession contract for distribution of natural gas in the State of Minas Gerais, which represents conclusion of the process of economic-financial rebalancing of the concession contract, upon payment of a grant fee of R$852, updated from January 1, 2019 to the date of payment, by the DI (Interbank Deposit) rate. This guarantees maintenance of Gasmig’s concession period up to 2053.

 

Under the third amendment to the concession contract, the total value paid for the compensatory grant fee will be added to Gasmig’s Remuneration Base of Assets, and considered in the process of tariff review by the grantor as an intangible asset to be amortized until the end of the concession period, producing immediate effect in terms of setting and review of tariffs.

5.OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

The operating segments of the Company reflect their management and their organizational structure, used to monitoring its results. The Company also operates in the gas market, through its subsidiary Gasmig, and in other businesses with less impact on the results of its operations.

 

In 2021, the Executive Board started assesing the performance of the energy trading segmentseparately and to make decisions in relation to the allocation of resources to such segment. This change in the separation of details by operational segment as disclosed by the Company arises from the increased importance of the activity of this segment in the energy market for complying with and maintaining the Company’s contractual obligations, especially after the reduction of the Company’s own generation capacity. The energy trading segment, includes the purchase and sale of energy in the free and regulated markets, and the activities related to trading such energy, including transactions on the Power Trading Exchange (CCEE).

 

In a further the results of affiliates and jointly controlled companies whose management is the responsibility of the Equity Management Board (‘CemigPar’) as a single segment, evaluating Cemig’s non-controlling shareholdings, in line with the Company’s business strategies. The main aim of separation of this segment is to monitor compliance with the targets established by these companies, to ensure sustainability and maximization of their return for the company. The results of the subsidiaries Gasmig and Cemig Sim are also included in this segment, since their management and analysis of performance, too, is linked to the CemigPar management unit (the office of the Chief Officer for Holdings).

 

Thus, in 2021, the segment information is disclosed separately into the following 5 reportable segments:

 

Generation: Comprise production of energy from hydroelectric and wind facilities.

 

Transmission: Comprise construction, operation and maintenance of transmission lines and substations.

 

Trading: Comprise commercialization of energy and provision of related services. As per Note 26(g), in the third quarter of 2021 the Company began the process of segregation of the commercialization business, with partial transfer from Cemig GT to the Company. There was no change in the Company’s corporate strategy of serving the market with the purpose of energy delivery to its clients.

 

Distribution: Comprise provision of energy distribution services, including operation and maintenance of the related infrastructure and services.

 

 F-49 
 

 

Investees: Comprise management of the equity interests in which the company does not have shareholding control, in line with the Company’s business strategies. The results of the subsidiaries Gasmig and Cemig Sim are also included in this segment, since their management, too, is linked to the CemigPar management unit (the office of the Chief Officer for Holdings).

 

Transfer of energy from the generation activity to the trading activity comprises a transaction between segments, since it consists of obtaining of revenue from the sale of energy generated, and costs for purchase of energy to be traded — these are measured at sale prices estimated in accordance with criteria based on the Company’s model for management of these businesses, using market prices as a reference.

 

In 2021, the Company reassessed its operating segments and started disclosing the segments of Trading, Investees and Inter-segment Transactions, as a single segment. Due to this Company’s reassessment the corresponding information from previous years are being restated.

The provision for expected credit losses of accounts receivable is considered to be sufficient to cover any potential losses in the realization of accounts receivable, and the breakdown by type of customers is as follows:

 

   2021  2020

Considering the pandemic effects on levels of delinquency and the emergence of new factors such as the vaccination progress in the country, mutations of the virus, and changes in government support policy, the Company, taking into account the changes in 2020 and 2021, believes that the current assumptions represent its best estimate, at this moment, for expected losses on doubtful receivables for the year ended on December 31, 2021.

 

On July 31, 2020 Cemig D filed an application to the tax authority of State of Minas Gerais to offset debts for energy consumption and service owed by the direct and indirect administrations of Minas Gerais State, using amounts of ICMS tax payable, under Article 3 of Minas Gerais State Decree 47,908/2020, which regulated State Law 47,891/2020.  The debts from the State of Minas Gerais that qualify for offset are those past due on June 30, 2019, an amount of R$222. Following ratification by the State Finance Secretary and formalization of the Debt Recognition Agreement, occurred on March 31, 2021, offsetting began in April 2021. Up to December 31 2021, 9 (nine) out of 21 (twenty-one) installments, in the amount of R$11 each were offset, remaining outstanding R$127. The offsetting is expected to occur on monthly basis, in this amount, up to December 2022.

a)Pis/Pasep and Cofins taxes credits over ICMS

 

On May 8, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries Cemig D and Cemig GT obtained a final unappealable ruling recognizing their right to exclude the ICMS amounts from the calculation basis of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes, as from five years prior to the action initial filing– that is, from July 2003.

 

Thus, the Company recorded the PIS/Pasep and Cofins credits corresponding to the amount of these taxes over ICMS paid from the period of July 2003 to May 2019.

 

A final unappealable ruling was also handed to Cemig’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Sá Carvalho, Cemig Geração Distribuída (former UTE Ipatinga S.A.), Cemig Geração Poço Fundo S.A. (previously denominated UTE Barreiro S.A.) and Horizontes Energia S.A..

 

The Company has two expedients to recover the tax credits: (i) offsetting amounts receivable against amounts payable of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes, monthly, within the five-year period specified by the relevant law of limitation; or (ii) receiving securities issued in connection with Federal Government debts (“precatórios”).

 

 

The Company, in addition of the ability of receiving the credits through ‘precatórios’ letters of credit, has begun to assess the possibility of credits administrative qualification, under which they will be able to be offset against federal taxes generated by the holding company’s activity.

 F-56 
 

 

 

On May 12, 2020, the Brazilian tax authority (Receita Federal) granted the Company’s request for approval of the credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes arising from the legal action on which final judgment occurred in 2019, subject to no further appeal. Since May 2020, Cemig D and Cemig GT are offsetting the amount receivable against amounts of federal taxes payable on a monthly basis, within the five-year statute of limitations period.

 

On May 13, 2021 the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (‘STF’) ruled on the motion for clarification filed by the federal government, modulating the effects of the decision that ICMS tax (paid or payable) is not part of the base amount for calculation of the PIS, Pasep and Cofins taxes. The court ruled that only those who filed legal actions claiming this judgment on or before March 15, 2017 (date on which the argument was established) should have the right to reimbursement of the tax unduly paid, excluding legal and administrative actions filed after that date and before the date on which the judgment was given. Thus the changes made by the Supreme Court in the effects of the judgment do not affect the credits recognized by the Company. Further, the new ruling decided that the amounts of ICMS tax to be excluded from the basis for calculation of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes should be the ICMS tax stated on invoices this is in agreement with the criterion adopted by the Company for the actions which there is no further appeal. The Company recognized an increase of R$18 in the PIS/Pasep and Cofins recoverable amount, referring to the periods in which the Company excluded the ICMS tax paid from these taxes basis of calculation, instead of the ICMS tax stated on invoices.

 

Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, the Company believes that a portion of the tax credits to be received by Cemig D should be reimbursed to its customers, considering a maximum period for calculation of the reimbursement of 10 years. Thus, Cemig D has also recorded a liability corresponding to the total amount of the tax credits comprising the period of the last 10 years, from June 2009 to May 2019, net of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over monetary updating.

 

Considering the modulation of effects derived from STF, the subsidiary Gasmig recognized, in the second quarter of 2021, the PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes credits totaling R$220, updated at December 31, 2021 is R$225. In the absence of a final judgment by the courts, Gasmig recorded a liability corresponding to the amounts to be reimbursed to its customers considering a 10-year period, from the date of the year end period.

 

For more information about the amounts to be refunded by Cemig D and Gasmig to customers, see Note 21.

 

The Company carries current asset and non-current asset in the amounts of R$1,826 and R$1,651, respectively, corresponding to the tax credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins over ICMS, with updating by the Selic rate to the date of their actual offsetting.

 

 F-57 
 

 

In 2021, credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes were offset against payable federal taxes in the amount of R$1,786 (R$1,275 on 2020).

 

b)Other recoverable taxes

 

The ICMS (VAT) credits, reported in non-current assets, arise mainly from acquisitions of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, and can be offset against taxes payable in the next 48 months. The transfer to non-current is made in accordance with management’s best estimate of the amounts which will likely be realized in 12 months after these financial statements reporting date.

 

Credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins generated by the acquisition of machinery and equipment can be offset immediately.

 

 

 

10.INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

 

a) Income tax and social contribution tax recoverable

The balances of income tax and social contribution tax refer to tax credits in the corporate income tax returns of previous years and to advance payments which will be offset against federal taxes eventually payable. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities related to income tax and social contribution tax are offset in the statement of financial position subject to criteria established in IAS 12.

 

   2021  2020
Income tax   763    698 
Social contribution tax   251    247 
 Income and social contribution tax credits   1,014    945 
           
Current   699    598 
Non-current   315    347 

 

The balances of income tax and social contribution tax posted in non-current assets arise from advanced payments required by tax law and withholding taxes, which the expectation of offsetting is greater than 12 months.

 

On September 24, 2021, the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court decided, unanimously, that the incidence of income tax and social contribution tax on the indexation charges applying Selic interest rate over undue paid taxes is unconstitutional. Since this is a constitutional decision with general repercussion, the Company is awaiting the final judgment, which is pending on eventual motions for clarification, and the result of any modulation, before assessing and recognizing any potential effects of the decision, since there is no legal action on this subject.

 

b)Income tax and social contribution tax payable

 

The balances of income tax and social contribution tax recorded in current liabilities refer mainly to the taxes owed by the subsidiaries which report by the Real Profit method and have opted to make monthly payments based on estimated revenue, and also by the subsidiaries that have opted for the Presumed Profit method, in which payments are made quarterly.

The estimated taxable profits forecast, on which the realization of deferred tax assets are based, are determined by the annual budget and the long-term budget, both reviewed periodically, and by the historical profit. However, the taxable profit may be either higher or lower than the evaluation used by the management when the amount of the deferred tax recognized was determined.

 

Based on Company and its subsidiaries’ estimates, it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. The Company estimated that the balance of deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2021 will be recovered, as follows:

 

   Consolidated
 2022    717 
 2023    583 
 2024    662

11.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS

 

The Company has accounts receivable from the State of Minas Gerais, arising from return of an administrative deposit made for a dispute on the rate of inflation and other adjustment to be applied to an advance for future capital increase (‘AFAC’), made in prior years, which was the subject of a debt recognition agreement. The agreement provided for payment by the Minas Gerais State in 12 consecutive monthly installments, each updated by the IGP–M index up to the date of actual payment, the first to become due on November 10, 2017. The agreement states that, in the event of late payment or default by the State in payment of the agreed consecutive monthly installments, Cemig is authorized to retain dividends or Interest on Equity distributable to the State in proportion to the State’s equity interest, for as long as the arrears and/or default continues.

 

However, the State of Minas Gerais government is contesting the Debt Recognition Agreement (‘TARD’) signed, in the previous years, once it believes that it was signed without obeying the legal requirements for validity of administrative acts and has notified Cemig to reimburse the 2 installments previously settled, and also the dividends retained, totaling R$299.

 

To solve the issue through a negotiated solution, the dispute on the TARD was submitted to the Chamber of Administrative Prevention and Resolution of Conflicts (‘Câmara de Prevenção e Resolução Administrativa de Conflitos’ — CPRAC) of State of Minas Gerais, which is currently in the initial stages.

 

The balance receivable on December 31, 2021, amounts R$13 (R$12 on December 31, 2020). On June 30, 2021, the Company retained the remaining portion of dividends to be paid to State of Minas Gerais and awaits development of the issue with CPRAC for the definitive write-off from accounts receivable of this remaining balance.

 

Regarding the discussion on the merits of the criterion used in the past for AFAC’s monetary updating, if a solution is not successfully reached either through CPRAC or any legal proceedings on the merits, Management, based on assessment of legal advisors, has assessed the chances of loss as ‘possible’.

13.REIMBURSEMENT OF TARIFF SUBSIDIES

 

The subsidies to finance the Program to Encourage Voluntary Reduction of Energy Consumption, in effect from September to December 2021, will be reimbursed through the System Services Charge (ESS). The program was created to encourage customers to save energy due to the critical moment of hydrological scarcity — an emergency measure by the government to ensure the country continuity and security of energy supply. Customers that reduced consumption in the months of September to December 2021, so that the sum of their energy consumption in these months was from 10% to 20% less than in the same period of the previous year, were to be given a bonus of R$0.50 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on the total of the energy saved. The bonus was to be stated in the first energy bill received after December 2021 consumption calculation, and credited as a reduction in the subsequent energy bill. On December 31, 2021, the amount appropriated as revenue for subsidies under this bonus was R$205. The Company has this amount receivable, posted as a current assets.

  

On December 31, 2021, the amount recognized as subsidies revenues, reimbursed through the transfer of resources of Energy Development Account (CDE), was R$986 (R$1,036 on December 31, 2020 and R$1,097 on December 31, 2019). Of such amounts, the Company has a receivable of R$86 in current assets, being R$82 (R$83 on December 31, 2020) held by Cemig D and R$4 (R$6 on December 31, 2020) held by Cemig GT.

14.1Distribution - Financial assets

The energy and gas distribution concession contracts are within the scope of IFRIC 12. The financial assets under these contracts refer to the investments made in infrastructure that will be paid by grantor at the end of the concession period. These financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with regulation of the energy segment and concession contracts executed by Cemig and its subsidiaries and the granting authorities.

14.2Generation — Indemnity receivable

 

As from August 2013, with the extinction of the concession for various plants operated by Company under Concession Contract 007/1997, it has a right to receive an amount corresponding to the residual value of the infrastructure assets, as specified in the concession contract. These balances are recorded as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and totaled R$816 on December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As specified by the grantor (Aneel) in Normative Resolution 615/2014, the valuation reports that support the amounts in relation to the residual value of the plants, previously operated by Cemig GT, that were included in Lot D and for the Volta Grande plant have been submitted to the grantor. The Company does not expect any losses in the realization of these amounts.

 

On December 31, 2021, investments made after the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda plants came into operation, in the amounts of R$174, R$3 and R$23, respectively, are recorded as concession financial assets, and the determination of the final amounts to be received by the Company is in discussion with Aneel (the grantor). The Company does not expect losses in realization of these amounts.

 

In 2019, Publicc Hearing 003/2019 was opened to obtain inputs on improvement of the criteria and procedures for calculation of investments in assets returnable to the Grantor, not yet amortized or not depreciated, of generation concessions (whether extended or not), under Law 12,783/2013, which resulted in the publication, on July 13, 2021, of Normative Resolution 942, by Aneel.

 

Under Normative Resolution 942, concession holders must attest the respective investments linked to reimbursable assets, based on an evaluation report, by July 12, 2022, — this period may be extended by Aneel for an equal period. According to Grantor’s rules, the evaluation report must be prepared by a company accredited by Aneel, to be hired by the concession holder. Additionaly, the concession holders were required to state interest in receipt of the complementary amount until August 20, 2021. Cemig GT complied with this requirement within the specified period.

 F-64 
 

 

 

Appendix I of the above mentioned Resolution details the methodology and general criteria for calculation of investment portion linked to reversible assets, which must be based on the New Replacement Value — which is calculated, preferably, based on the reference database of prices, then, if it is not possible, by the concession holder’s prices database, and, as the last alternative, by the updated inspected accounting cost.

 

The Company is assessing the effects of this resolution, and does not expect losses in its financial assets as a result of application of these new requirements.

 

On August 9, 2021, the Company stated its interest in receiving the complementary amount related to the portions of the investments linked to revertible assets that had not yet been modernized or depreciated, and have not been indemnified.

 

The Company hired the valuation specialist service provider accredited by Aneel, and expects to meet the requirements of Normative Resolution (ReN) 942/2021, proving the realization of related investments linked to revertible assets through a valuation report, within the stipulated deadline.

 

14.3Concession grant fee — Generation concessions

 

The concession grant fee paid to Company for a 30-year concession contracts nº 08 to 16/2016, related to 18 hydroelectric plants, as an amount of R$2,216. The amount of the concession fee was recognized as a financial asset measured at amortized cost, as the Cemig GT has an unconditional right to receive the amount paid, updated by the IPCA Index and remuneratory interest (the total amount of which is equal to the internal rate of return on the project), during the period of the concession.

Sector assets and liabilities

 

14.4Account for compensation of variation of parcel A items (CVA) and Other financial components

 

As established in the amendment to the concession contract of Cemig D, there is a guarantee that in the event of termination of the concession contract, for any reason, the remaining balances (assets and liabilities) of any shortfall in payment or reimbursement through the tariff must also be paid by the grantor. The balances on (i) the CVA (Compensation for Variation of Parcel A items) Account, (ii) the account for Neutrality of Sector Charges, and (iii) Other financial components in the tariff calculation, refer to the positive and negative differences between the estimate of the Company’s non-controllable costs and the costs actually incurred. The variations are subject to adjustment using the Selic rate and considered in the subsequent tariff adjustments.

(1)The wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig D was over contracted in 2017 and 2018 and the gain arising from the sale of the excess of energy in the spot market was provisionally passed through to customers by Aneel in the tariff adjustments of 2018 and 2019, including the portion in excess of the limit of 105% of the regulatory load — thus reducing the tariff that was determined. To establish whether this is a voluntary over contracting, the Company considers that the portion above the regulatory limit will be recovered in the subsequent tariff adjustment. On August 27, 2020, Aneel published the Dispatch 2,508/2020-SRM-SGT, which set new amounts for distributors’ over contracting for the years 2016 and 2017, based on a new valuation criterion established by Aneel Technical Note 97/2020-SRM-SGT — not contained in the regulatory rules which were currently in force. As a result, Cemig D filed an appeal with the Council of Aneel, for the amounts of distribution agents’ over contracting to be reset in accordance with the calculation criteria based on maximum effort contained in Aneel Normative Resolution 453/2011. The Company’s position on this case is reinforced by the fact that the Brazilian Energy Distributors’ Association (Abradee) filed a similar appeal, supported by the opinion of contracted legal advisors. The Company has no expectation of loss in relation to realization of these amounts. The Company recognizes this receivable asset, in the amount of R$192 on December 31, 2021, as ‘Other financial components’ to be ratified. At the reporting date for these financial statements, this matter was still pending analysis by Aneel, however, the decision of SGT/SEM Dispatch 2508 of 2020 is in force, and was considered in the last tariff process, in which part of the amount relating to over contracting in 2017 was ratified, totaling R$39.
(2)This is a financial component created for return to customers of the amounts that were invoiced to them but received by Cemig from the Covid Account in 2020. These amounts will be returned to customers in the tariff process of 2021, updated by the Selic rate, ensuring of neutrality.

Cemig D tariff adjustment

 

On May 25, 2021 the grantor (Aneel) approved the Annual Tariff Adjustment for Cemig D, effective from May 28, 2021 to May 27, 2022, with an average increase for customers of 1.28% – being: (i) 2.14% for high-voltage customers, and (ii) 0.89% for customers connected at low voltage. There was no adjustment to tariffs for residential customers connected at low voltage. This result arises from: (i) variation of 2.64% reflect Cemig D’s manageable costs (Parcel B), and the direct pass-throug within the tariff, of 1.37% – the latter having zero economic effect, not affecting profitability, relating to the following items: (a) increase of 8.84% in non-manageable costs (Portion A), mainly related to purchase of energy supply, regulatory charges and transmission charges; (b) decrease of 8.80% in the financial components of the current process, led by the reduction of R$1,573 relating to credits of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes, which generated a negative variation in the tariff of 9.67%, and the reversal of the Covid account (8.78%); and (c) withdrawal of 1.41% from the financial components of the prior process.

The next Periodic Tariff Review (RTP) will take place in June 2023, with effect from July 1st, 2023. The indexer used to update the contract is the Expanded Consumer Price Index (Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo — IPCA).

 

National Grid Assets - ‘BNEs’ — the regulatory cost of capital updating

 

In 2017, the Brazilian Large Free Customers’ Association (Associação Brasileira de Grandes Consumidores Livres), the Brazilian Auto Glass Industry Technical Association (Associação Técnica Brasileira das Indústrias Automáticas de Vidro) and the Brazilian Ferro-alloys and Silicon Metal Producers’ Association (Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Ferroligas e de Silicio Metálico) obtained the preliminary injunction in their legal action against the grantor and the Federal Government requesting suspension of the effects on their tariffs of remuneration at cost of equity of portions of “National Grid” assets not yet paid from 2013 to 2017 owned to the agents that accepted the terms of Law 12,783/13.

 

In 2020 Aneel provisionally ratified only the inclusion of the cost of equity updated by IPCA index of the period between the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 tariff cycles.

 

On January 06, 2021, the Brazilian General Attorney’s Office issued a legal opinion about the effects of the reversal of the court decision that had suspended the cost of equity remuneration of the transmission agents determined by Ministerial Order 120/2016, concluded that it must be updated by the cost of equity rate, until July 01, 2020, which is the date that the payment took place, and must be included to RAP as of July 1st, 2020 (2020-2021 cycle) for eight years.

 

 F-70 
 

 

On April 22, 2021, Aneel published Resolution 2,852, which altered Resolution 2,712/2020, defining, among other provisions, the financial component referred to. Thus, the cost of capital associated with the financial components was incorporated into the calculation of the periodic review processes of 2018 deciding the RAP of the transmission concessions that were extended under Law 12,783/2013. This caused 2 effects: (i) A new value for the component to be considered in the RAP of the tariff cycles for 2020-2021 to 2025-2026; and (ii) a residual value for the difference between the amount paid to the transmission companies in the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 tariff cycles and the amount payable after the injunctions were overturned.

 

Thus, the debt balance of this component was recalculated, using remuneration at the rate of cost of capital, up to the date of actual payment (July 1st, 2020), discounted present value of amount paid.

 

Additionally, Aneel opted the alternative of ‘reprofiling’ these payments, for payment gradually over a period of 8 years, guaranteeing the net present value of the transaction.

 

In the proposed profile the minimum payment is made in the 2021-2022 cycle, with zero amortization of the debt portion of the balance; in the 2022-2023 cycle there is amortization at a rate of 3.0%, so as to amortize part of the debt and keep the level of payments stable; and there are then constant payments over the cycles of 2023-2024 to 2027-2028, with amortization rates of 16.11% per year. Thus, to achieve regulatory stability and mitigate sector risk, this RAP’s financial component might not be included in 2023 periodic review. The effects on short-term contractual assets due to the reduction of amortization in the two annual cycles of 2021–2022 and 2022–2023, corresponding to R$269, which was reclassified to long-term.

 

The Company recognized the effects of the decision by Aneel put into effect by Resolution 2,852/2021, amounting to R$211, based on recalculation of the financial component including the remuneration of capital at the rate of cost of capital, substituting the weighted average regulatory cost of capital, for the period from June 2017 to June 2020, and the new amounts of the component for the cycles of 2020-2021 and 2025-2026, taking into account the reprofiling of the payments under the terms of the Resolution.

 

 

 

 

b)Concession contract 079/00

 

The contract regulates commercial operation of public transmission service, comprising construction, maintenance and operation of transmission of the following facilities: The Itajubá 3 Substation; the Itajubá 3 — Poços de Caldas Transmission Line; and the Itajubá 3–Cachoeira Paulista Transmission Line, in effect until October 4, 2034.

 

The indexer used for adjustment of the contract is the General Market Prices Index (Índice Geral de Preços do Mercado — IGP-M).

 

 F-71 
 

 

On March 30, 2021, the Resolution nº 2,839 updated the amounts of the RAPs and the adjustment portions for this contract, resulting in R$4 in contract assets amount.

 

The amounts will comprise the new RAP as from the adjustment for the 2021/2022 cycle and the adjustment portion relating to the backdating will be paid in 3 installments during the next adjustment processes.

 

The next Periodic Tariff Review (RTP) of the enhancements that have been approved will take place in June 2024 and be in effect from July 1st, 2024. 

 

 

c)Concession contract nº. 006/2011

 

The contract regulates commercial operation of public transmission service, comprising construction, maintenance and operation of the Sete Lagoas 4 substation, in effect until June 15, 2041.

 

The indexer used for adjustment of the contract is the Expanded National Consumer Price (‘Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo’ – IPCA).

 

On July 13, 2021, Aneel established the RAP for the 2021–2022 cycle, through Resolution 2,895, which was amended by Resolution 2,959 on October 5, 2021, due to applications for reconsideration filed by the transmission concession holders.

 

The financial effects of the new RAPs, comparing with the contract financial forecasting model, were not significant, considering that there have not been significant changes in the assumptions used.

 

 

d)Concession contract nº. 004/2005

 

The contract regulates the concession for the second-circuit 345kV transmission facility which runs between the Furnas and Pimenta substations, a distance of approximately 75 km, for a period of 30 years from March 2005. For making the transmission facilities available for commercial operation, Centroeste will receive the Permitted Annual Revenue (RAP), adjusted annually, in the first 15 years of commercial operation. In the 16th year of commercial operation, its RAP will be reduced by 50%, until the end of the concession.

 

The indexer used for adjustment of the contract is the IGP-M (Índice Geral de Preços do Mercado — General Market Prices Index).

 

On July 13, 2021, Aneel established the RAP for the 2021–2022 cycle, through Resolution 2,895, which was amended by Resolution 2,959 on October 5, 2021, due to applications for reconsideration filed by the transmission concession agents, including the Company.

 F-72 
 

 

 

The Company is assessing the financial effects of the RAPs established, comparing these amounts with the contract projections on financial modeling, and does not expect significant variations, considering that there were no significant changes in the assumptions applied.

(1)On March 31, 2021, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig Soluções Inteligentes em Energia S.A. (Cemig Sim), the Company acquired 49% of the specialized generation company UFV Brasilândia Geração de Energia Elétrica Distribuída S.A. (‘Brasilândia’), which operates in photovoltaic solar generation for the distributed generation market, with installed capacity of 7.35 MWp, for R$12, achieving a fair value gain of R$2.
(2)On December 31, 2021 and 2020, the investee has negative net equity. Thus, after reducing the accounting value of its interest to zero, the Company recognized the provision for losses to the extent of its obligations, in the amount of R$21 (R$30 on December 31, 2020), resulting from contractual obligations assumed with the jointly controlled entity and the other shareholders. The loss is recorded in the balance sheet in Other obligations. Additionally, on December 1, 2021, Cemig GT injected capital into UHE Itaocara S.A., to assist in compliance with the final Arbitration Ruling against the investee, given by the FGV in its Mediation and Arbitration Chamber, in the amount of R$40. This amount is proportional to its shareholding interest in the investee. Further, R$1,359 was injected to cover the expenses specified in the 2021 budget of the investee.
(3)A loss was recognized to the extent that the Company has incurred obligations on behalf of the investee and the other shareholders. On December 31, 2021 this amount was R$162. See further information in this note.

 

The Company’s investees that are not consolidated are jointly controlled entities, with the exception of the interests in the affiliates Madeira Energia (Santo Antônio power plant), Ativas Data Center and Light, the latter was classified as an asset held for sale at December, 31, 2020, and its sale was completed on January 22, 2021. See Note 32 for more information.

 

On December 31, 2021, management considered that there was some indication, due to the economic shock of the Covid-19 pandemic (Note 1c), of potential decline in value of assets, as referred to in IAS 36– Impairments of Assets. As a result of the analyzes, the Company concluded that the pandemic’s effects on the economic context and the long term expectation of realization of the assets underwent no significant change. Thus, the reported assets net carrying amount is recoverable, and therefore the Company has not recognized any impairment loss related to its investments, except for the investment held in Mesa, as disclosed in more detail in this Note.

 

Additionally, in relation to the above, the Company’s management has assessed the risk threatening all its investments ability to continue as a going concern, taking substantially into consideration: the economic-financial clauses of Cemig D and Gasmig; the guarantee of revenues of the transmission companies; the protection against force majeure reduction in regulated generation contracts; and all the legal measures that have been applied by the federal government and by Aneel — and has concluded that the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as going concern is secure.

a)Right to exploitation of the regulated activity

 

In the process of allocating the purchase price for of the acquisition of the jointly controlled subsidiaries and affiliates, a valuation was made for the intangible assets relating to the right to operate the infrastructure. These assets are presented together with the acquisition cost of the investments in the previous table. These assets will be amortized over the remaining period of the concessions on a straight-line basis.

 

The rights of authorization to generate wind energy granted to Parajuru and Volta do Rio, valued at R$49 (R$54 on December 31, 2020) and R$67 (R$74 on December 31, 2020), respectively, are classified in the financial statements of the Company under Intangibles. These concession assets are amortized by the straight-line method, during the period of the concession. For further information see note 18.

Madeira Energia S.A. (‘MESA’) and FIP Melbourne (special purpose vehicle through which Cemig GT helds interests in ‘SAAG’)

 

Santo Antônio Energia S.A (‘SAESA’) is a wholy-owned subsidiary of MESA, SAESA’s, whose objects are operation and maintenance of the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Plant and its transmission system, for 35 years from its signature, on June 13, 2008. The Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Plant began commercial operation with its first generating unit in 2012, and reached full generation in December 2016. Between the shareholders include Furnas, Odebrecht Energia, SAAG and the Company.

 

On December 31, 2021 MESA reported a negative net working capital, which was compounded by the arbitration decision effects described in the following topics. Hydroelectric plants project finances structurally present negative net working capital in the first years of operation, because they are built using high levels of financial leverage. On the other hand, they have firm long term contracts for energy supply as support and guarantee of payment of their debts. 

 

To balance the situation of capital structure and liquidity, in addition to the measures described below, related to the arbitral decision effects, MESA has been adopting some actions aimed at reducing the operational expenditure, protecting the exposure to hydrological risks, optimizing the capital structure and managing the energy operations. 

 

Arbitration proceeding 115/2018 – Madeira Energia S.A.

 

In 2018 SAAG and Cemig GT filed Arbitration Proceeding 115/2018, seeking to annul the capital increase, approved by MESA Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 28, 2018, through capitalization of the credits arising from the annulment of the capital increase made in 2014 , which had been annulled in a previous arbitration proceeding.

 

On December 13, 2021 was released the arbitration decision annulling the capital increase part of the arbitration procedding, as well as on March 16, 2022, the Market Arbitration Chamber published a decision on a motion for clarification, in which was determined the revert of the increase of capital made by the shareholders in this investee.

 

As a consequence of the arbitration decision, Cemig GT’s direct and indirect equity holding in Mesa is increased from 8.54% to 9.86%, and 6.97% to 8.05%, respectively, resulting in a consolidated ownership increase from 15.51% to 17.91%.

 

On April 29, 2022, MESA informed that the shareholder Furnas Centrais Elétricas S.A., which is also a party in the arbitration process, notified MESA that, on April 28, 2022, a preliminary injunction in their legal action was granted, for the immediate suspension of the CAM 115/2018 arbitration decision, in order to maintain the equity interest held before its effects. According to MESA’s legal advisors, the aforementioned suspension is not definitive and they assessed the probability of loss as probable, therefore, the investee maintained the provision for capital reduction in its quarterly financial information for the period ended on March 31, 2022. 

 

Since the legal action in which the preliminary injunction was granted is currently in the initial stages, the Company, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, believes that a modification on the arbitration decision effects is remote. 

 

Arbitration proceeding 21,511/ASM/JPA (c. 21,673/ASM) – Santo Antônio Energia S.A.

 

On January 31, 2022, was released the arbitration decision on arbitration proceeding in CCI (International Chamber of Commerce) Nº 21,511/ASM/JPA (c. 21,673/ASM), which consolidated the matters between Santo Antônio Energia S.A. (SAESA), Consórcio Construtor Santo Antônio (CCSA) and other parties, relating, in summary, to the following issues:

 

 F-87 
 

 

i.       Liability of CCSA for reimbursement of the costs of replenishing the collateral, and use of the contractual limitation clause, specified in contract.

ii.       Liability of SAESA relating to the increase in costs incurred by CCSA arising, mainly, from strikes and work stoppages occured from 2009 to 2013.

 

The result of this arbitration, made available by the International Arbitration Court of the International Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 2022, indicates that part of the claims of Saesa were accepted, as well as some of the claims of CCSA and where applicable of its co-consortium members against SAESA. Also, the arbitration decision initially declared as being without effect the instrument entitled “Terms and Conditions”, which was the basis for recognition by the Company of the “Reimbursable Expenditures”, as set out in an explanatory note to the financial statements of Saesa.

 

As well as the granted CCSA claims, with which Saesa vehemently disagrees, that have already been provisioned in SAESA financial statements as “Guarantee Deposits” (R$770) and “Other Provisions” (R$492), other claims were also granted with an estimated additional value of R$226 payable.

 

Under the financing contracts signed with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (‘BNDES’) and financing contracts under on lending from the BNDES, any amounts that SAESA is ordered to pay will be paid in accordance with procedures determined in the respective contracts.

 

On March 9, 2022, SAESA filed a motion for clarification on certain matters of the final decision, including pecuniary aspects, and believes that only after evaluation of this claim and any other motions for clarification that may be requested by the other parties involved, the decision will become definitive and able to produce effects, with effective decision on any amounts that may eventually be payable by SAESA.

 

On April 11, 2022, SAESA requested, by means of a “exception of pre-execution” the extinction of a lawsuit filed by ‘Grupo Industrial Complexo Rio Madeira’ (GICOM), a CCSA member, for a partial execution of the arbitration decision, in the amount of R$645. In summary, GICOM believed that the decision released in the arbitration procedure would be final and enforceable. On April 17, 2022, a court decision was rendered in the lawsuit for partial execution of the arbitration decision, receiving the exception of pre-execution presented by SAESA and granting suspensive effect to interrupt the period for the executed debts payment until the Arbitral Court considers the motions for clarification or the exception of pre-execution is judged, whichever occurs first.

 

On April 29, 2022, the MESA Extraordinary General Meeting approved a capital increase until R$1.582, to be made in order to capitalize SAE. Cemig GT relinquished the right to subscribe the investee’s shares and will not make the contribution referring to its equity holding.

 

SAESA also reiterated that the arbitration proceedings are in progress, still treated with confidentiality.

 

Investment in Madeira Energia S.A.

 

The arbitration decision against the claims of SAE, is an event after the reporting period of these financial statements, with an adjusting effect and reflects the preliminary results of the arbitration decision, since it is about conditions that existed on December 31, 2021, as per the provisions of IAS 10 –Events After the Reporting Period.

 

As a result of the above mentioned arbitration decisions, the Company recognized a impairment of R$367, which results in reduction of the investment carrying amount to zero and, in accordance with IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, has constituted a liability of R$162 for the obligations assumed on behalf of investee in equity support and guarantee agreements.

 

The liability was estimated applying of the Company’s direct percentage shareholding in Mesa, currently 9.86%, applied to the expected cash outflow to settle the debt arising from the arbitration judgment. Considering that there are specific circumstances established in shareholders’ agreements, and in the share purchase agreement of SAAG, and in the guarantees themselves provided by SAAG to Saesa, the Company believes that it does not have a responsibility in relation to its indirect shareholding in Mesa, currently of 8.05%, since it did not assume the obligations which were contracted by SAAG to Saesa before it entered the business; therefore, the other shareholder, the former holder of 100% of the equity (AG Participações), remains as guarantor of all the related obligations to that investee.

Amazônia Energia S.A. and Aliança Norte Energia S.A.

 

Amazônia Energia and Aliança Norte are shareholders of Norte Energia S.A. (‘NESA’), which holds the concession to operate the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant. Through the jointly controlled entities referred to above, Cemig GT owns an indirect equity interest in NESA of 11.69%.

 

On December 31, 2021 NESA presents negative net working capital of R$189 (R$160 on December 31, 2020), and will spend further amounts on projects specified in its concession contract, even after conclusion of the construction and full operation of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant. According to the estimates and projections, the negative net working capital, and the future demands for investments in the hydroelectric plant, will be supported by revenues from future operations and/or raising of bank loans.

 

The Company evaluated the recoverability amount of its investment in NESA, based on its value in use, in accordance with IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, and IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, and has concluded that the recoverable amount of the investment is higher than its carrying amout at December 31, 2021.

 

On September, 2015, NESA was awarded a preliminary injunction ordering the grantor to ‘abstain, until hearing of the application for an injunction made in the original case, from applying to Appellant any penalties or sanctions in relation to the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant not starting operations on the date established in the original timetable for the project, including those specified in an the grantor (Aneel) Normative Resolution 595/2013 and in the Concession Contract for the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant’. The legal advisors of NESA have classified the probability of loss as ‘possible’ and estimated the potential loss on December 31, 2019 to approximately R$2,832 (R$2,407 on December 31, 2020).

 

d)Shareholding restructuring of the wholly-owned transmission - Centroeste

 

On November 24, 2021, the Extraordinary General Meeting of the wholly-owned subsidiary Cemig GT approved an increase in the share capital of Cemig GT, by subscription of the investment held by the Company in Centroeste, thus completing the shareholding restructuring authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 12, 2021. Because it involved entities under common control, this restructuring is outside the scope of IFRS 3.

 

This transfer, which had the prior consent of Aneel, was recorded in amount of R$124, supported with valation report measured at book value on October 31, 2021.

e)Acquisition of Sete Lagoas Transmissora de Energia S.A. (‘SLTE‘) - Business combination

 

On December 23, 2021, Cemig completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares in SLTE, under a share purchase agreement signed on July 27, 2021 with Cobra Brasil Serviços, Comunicações e Energia S.A. and Cobra Instalaciones Y Servicios S.A.  

 

The Sete Lagoas 4 substation began operating in June 2014, and accesses the National Grid through switching from the Neves 1–Três Marias 345kW Transmission Line (345 kV), owned by Cemig GT, which already operates the related terminals at this substation.  

 

The consideration transferred included (i) an amount of R$48 paid in cash, and (ii) a escrow account, of R$1, which is retained due to environmental issues pending resolution by SLTE. The amount retained will be transferred to Cobra if this issue is resolved on favorable terms to SLTE within 24 months, with Cemig having the right to indemnity for any losses that exceed this amount. 

 

The Company applied the acquisition method to account the business combination and measured, provisionally, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair value, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3. During the measurement period, the Company may retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized. The measurement period is the period subsequent to the acquisition date during which the provisional amounts recognized for a business combination may be adjusted. It is limited to one year from the acquisition date.

 

Estimated fair value of net assets acquired

 

The preliminary fair value of net assets acquired at the acquisition date is as follows:

 

   SLTE
Book value of the investee    58 
Negative difference between fair value and equity value    (5)
Estimaged fair of net assets acquried   53 
Bargain purchase, recognized in 2021 profit   (4)
Cash consideration paid for 100% of the equity of SLTE   49 

 

 

 F-90 
 

 

 

The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date, is as follows:

 

Assets

  Fair value on the transaction date 

Liabilities

  Fair value on the transaction date
Current   15   Current   3 
  Cash and cash equivalents   7    Loans and financings   2 
  Contract assets (1)   7    Other current liabilities   1 
  Other current assets   1   Non-current   35 
Non-current   76    Loans and financings   11 
  Contract assets   73   Deferred tax liabilities   16 
  Other non-current assets   3   Taxes   8 
         Fair value of net identifiable assets   53 

 

(1)Considering that the concession contract is identifiable and may be measured in objective and reliable terms, the negative difference between fair value and the carrying amount was recognized in the subgroup ‘Contractual assets’ in the consolidated financial statements, and was considered as part of the investment in the individual financial statements. The (negative) added value is amortized over the period of the concession.

 

The assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and their results, are presented in operating transmission segment.

 

f)Risks related to compliance with laws and regulations

 

Jointly controlled entities and affiliates:

 

Norte Energia S.A. (‘NESA’) - through Amazônia Energia and Aliança Norte

 

Investigations and other legal measures are in progress since 2015, conducted by the Federal Public Attorneys’ Office, which involve other shareholders of NESA and certain executives of those other shareholders. In this context, the Federal Public Attorneys have started investigations on irregularities involving contractors and suppliers of NESA and of its other shareholders, which are still in progress. At present, it is not possible to determine the outcome of these investigations, and their possible consequences. These might at some time in the future affect the investee. In addition, based on the results of the independent internal investigation conducted by NESA and its other shareholders, an infrastructure write-down of R$183 was already recorded at NESA, and reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements through the equity pick effect in 2015.

 

On March 9, 2018 ‘Operação Buona Fortuna’ started, as a 49th phase of ‘Operation Lava Jato’ (‘Operation Carwash’). According to what has been disclosed by the media this operation investigates payment of bribes by the construction consortium of the Belo Monte power plant, comprising the companies Camargo Corrêa, Andrade Gutierrez, Odebrecht, OAS and J. Malucelli. Management of NESA believes that so far there are no new facts that have been disclosed by the 49th phase of ‘Operation Carwash’ that require additional procedures and internal investigation in addition to those already carried out.

 

The Company’s management, based on its knowledge of the matters described above and on the independent procedure carried out, believes that the conclusions presented in the report of the independent investigation are adequate and appropriate. As a result, no adjustment has been made on its financial statements. The effects of any future changes in the existing scenario will be reflected appropriately in the Company’s financial statements.

 F-91 
 

 

 

Madeira Energia S.A. (‘MESA’)

 

There are ongoing investigation and other legal measures conducted by the Federal Public Attorneys’ Office, which involve other indirect shareholders of MESA and certain executives of those other indirect shareholders. In this context, the Federal Public Attorneys have started investigations searching for irregularities involving contractors and suppliers of MESA and of its other shareholders. In response to allegations of possible illegal activities, the investee and its other shareholders started an independent internal investigation.

 

The independent internal investigation, concluded in February 2019, in the absence of any future developments such as any leniency agreements by third parties that may come to be signed or collaboration undertakings that may be signed by third parties with the Brazilian authorities, found no objective evidence enabling it to be affirmed that there were any supposed undue payments by MESA (SAESA) that should be considered for possible accounting write-off, pass-through or increase of costs to compensate undue advantages and/or linking of MESA with the acts of its suppliers, in the terms of the witness accusations and/or cooperation statements that have been made public.

 

The Company’s management, based on its knowledge of the matters described above and on the independent procedures carried out, believes that the conclusions presented in the report of the independent investigation are adequate and appropriate. As a result, no adjustment has been made on its financial statements. The effects of any future changes in the existing scenario will be reflected appropriately in the Company’s financial statements.

 

Other investigations

 

In addition to the cases above, there are investigations being conducted by the Public Attorneys’ Office of the State of Minas Gerais (‘MPMG’) and by the Civil Police of the State of Minas Gerais (‘PCMG’), which aim to investigate possible irregularities in the investments made by the Company in Guanhães Energia and also in MESA.

 

Additionally, since 2017 Renova, whose equity interest held by Cemig GT was classified in Non-current assets held for sale in 2021, is part of an investigation conducted by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais State and other public authorities related to certain injections of capital made by the controlling shareholders, including the Company and its subsidiary Cemig GT, and injections made in prior years by Renova in certain projects under development.

 

The police investigations of the inquiries referred to as operation “E o vento levou” and of the Minas Gerais Civil Police have not yet been completed, but no results are expected from these investigations with effects that could significantly impact the Company’s financial statements, even if there may be any which were not recorded by Renova, since no contractual or constructive obligations to the investee were assumed either by the Company nor by any of its subsidiaries.

 F-92 
 

 

 

Considering the share purchase agreement signed for disposal of the investment held in Renova, as reported in Note 32 to these financial statements, no effects are expected after the conclusion of the sale transaction, considering that the share purchase instrument does not specify any right of indemnity against Cemig GT in relation to any act, fact, event, action or omission which took place before and/or after the date of its signature, except to the extent that they may constitute a violation or inexactitude of any of the declarations or warranties given by Cemig GT. In the contract, the parties expressly recognized the “no claims” nature of the transaction.

 

Internal procedures for risks related to compliance with law and regulations

 

Taking into account the investigations that are being conducted by public authorities relating to the Company and to certain investees, the governance bodies of the Company have authorized contracting third-party investigator to analyze the internal procedures related to these investments, as well as internal proceedings related to the acquisition of Light’s interest in Enlighted (see Note 25 of the Financial Statements). This independent investigation was subject to oversight of an independent Special Investigation Committee whose creation was approved by our Board of Directors.

 

The Company’s internal investigation was completed and the corresponding report was issued on May 8, 2020, and identified no objective evidence substantiating illegal acts made by Company in the Company’s investments that were the subjects of the investigation. Therefore, there was no impact in the Company consolidated financial statements, neither for the year ended in December 31, 2021 and 2020 nor for prior periods. 

 

In the second half of 2019, Company signed tolling agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US Department of Justice (DOJ), which were extended until August, 2021, and on July 2021, respectively. Cemig has complied with the requests and intends to continue cooperating fully with the SEC and the DOJ, in accordance with any demands presented. 

 

Due to the completion of the investigations for which the Special Investigation Committee was constituted, from the delivery of the final report by the third-party investigator, the governance bodies of the Company decided to extinguish that Committee. If there are any future needs resulting from developments in this matter, the Committee can be reinstated.

 

In the end of 2020 the Company began internal procedures for investigation of allegations received by the Minas Gerais State Public Attorneys’ Office, through Official Letters, the content of which refers to alleged irregularities in public bidding purchasing processes. The investigation is being conducted by a new Investigation Committee, with support from third-party investigator.

 

The independent internal investigation begun in 2020 has been concluded, and its final report has been delivered and was approved by the Investigation Committee on November 24, 2021: no matters was identified that might present a significant impact on the financial statements at December 31, 2021 or on financial statements for prior business years. However, the Company awaits completion of the investigations by the Public Attorneys’ Office of Minas Gerais State (MPMG) and by other Brazilian and international authorities that are still ongoing. 

 

 F-93 
 

 

 

The Company will evaluate any changes in the future and potential impacts that could affect the financial statements, if appropriate. The Company will continue to cooperate with the relevant domestic and foreign authorities in these investigations.

Depreciation rates, which take into consideration the expected useful life of the assets, are revised annually by Management and are as follows:

 

 

Generation  (%)  Administration  (%)
Reservoirs, dams and watercourses   2   Software   20 
Buildings — Machine room   2   Vehicles   14.29 
Buildings — Other   3.33   IT equipment in general   16.67

Pressure tunnel   3.13         
Command station, panel and cubicle   3.57         
Floodgate   3.33         

 

The average annual depreciation rate for the year 2021 is 3.33% (3.14% in 2020 and 3.13% in 2019). The segregation by activity is as follows:

 

Hydroelectric Generation  Wind Power Generation  Administration
 3.14%   5.20%   6.35%

 

The Company has not identified any evidence of impairment of its Property, plant and equipment assets. The generation concession contracts provide that at the end of each concession the grantor must determine the amount to be indemnified to the Company for the residual value. Management believes that the amount ultimately received will be higher than the historical residual value.

The residual value of the assets is the residual balance of the assets at the end of the concession contract which will be transferred to the grantor at the end of the concession contract and for which Cemig is entitled to receive in cash. For contracts under which Cemig does not have a right to receive such amounts or there is uncertainty related to collection of the amounts, such as in the case of thermal generation and hydroelectric generation as an independent power producer, no residual value is recognized, and the depreciation rates are adjusted so that all the assets are depreciated within the concession term.

Consortium

 

The Company is a partner in an energy generation consortium for the Queimado plant, for which no separate company with independent legal existence was formed to manage the object of the concession. The Company’s portion in the consortium is recorded and controlled individually in the respective categories of PP&E and Intangible assets.

  (1)This includes the impairment, in the amount of R$22 recognized in the Income Statement under “Other expenses”. The test of impairment of intangible assets, relating to the authorization for wind power generation granted to Volta do Rio, recognized in 2018 as part of the its business combination, arises from non-achievement of the operational performance expected in 2019 for the wind generation assets of the subsidiary. The Value in Use of the assets was calculated based on the projection of future expected cash flows for the operation of the assets of the subsidiary, brought to present value by the weighted average cost of capital defined for the company’s activity, using the Firm Cash Flow (FCFF) methodology.
(2)The transfers were made between Intangible assets, concession contract assets and property, plant and equipment are as follows: (1) R$685 from concession contract assets to intangible assets; (2) (R$4) from intangible assets to property, plant and equipment and; and (3) (R$23) from intangible assets to concession financial assets.

Concession assets

 

The energy and gas distribution infrastructure assets already in service and that will be fully amortized during the concession term are recorded as intangible assets. Assets linked to the infrastructure of the concession that are still under construction are posted initially as contract assets, as detailed in Note 15.

 

The main amortization rates, which take into account the useful life that management expects for the asset, and reflect the expected pattern of their consumption, are as follows:

 

Energy  (%)  Administration  (%)
System cable – below 69 KV   6.67   Software   20.00 
System cable – below 69 KV   3.57   Vehicles   14.29 
Structure – Posts   3.57   General equipment   6.25 
Overhead distribution transformer   4.00   Buildings   3.33 
Circuit breaker – up to 69 kV   3.03         
Capacitor bank – up to 69 kV   6.67         
Voltage regulator – up to 69 kV   4.35         

 

          
Gas  (%)  Administration  (%)
Tubing   3.33   Software   20.00 
Buildings, works and improvements   4.00   Vehicles   20.00 
Improvements in leased properties   10.00   Data processing equipment   20.00 
Machinery and equipment   5.00 a 20.00   Furniture   10.00 

 

The annual average amortization rate is 3.94%. The segregation by activity is as follows:

 

Hydroelectric Generation  Wind Power Generation  Gas  Distribution  Administration
 7.44%   8.81%   3.33%   3.83%   15.82%

 

Under the regulations of the energy segment, property, plant and equipment used in the distribution concession are linked to these services, and cannot be withdrawn, disposed of, assigned or provided in guarantee without the prior express authorization of the Grantor.

 

The rights of authorization of the gas distribution concession, granted to Gasmig, valued at R$396 (R$412 on December 31, 2020), and to generate wind power granted to the subsidiary Parajuru and Volta do Rio, in the total amount of R$116 (R$128 on December 31, 2020) are classified in the consolidated statement of financial position under intangibles assets and are amortized by the straight-line method, for the period of the concessions. 

 

The Value in Use of the assets was calculated based on the projection of future expected cash flows for the operation of the assets of the subsidiary, brought to present value by the weighted average cost of capital defined for the company’s activity, using the Firm Cash Flow (FCFF) methodology.

Renegotiation of hydrological risk – the Generation Scaling Factor (GSF)

 

On September 9, 2020, the Law 14,052 was passed aiming to compensate holders of hydroelectric plants for the costs incurred due to the GSF, under the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE) for the period from 2012 to 2017, during which there was hydrological crisis The aim of this new law is to compensate the holders of hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE for , and the following non-hydrological risks were incurred by the hydroelectric plants holders:

 

(i)generation ventures classified as structural, related to bringing forward of physical guarantee of the plants;
(ii)the restrictions on start of operation of the transmission facilities necessary for outflow of the generation output of structural projects; and
(iii)generation outside the merit order system, and importation.

 

This compensation in the form of an extension of the term of the concession or authorization to operate, limited to 7 years, calculated on the basis of the parameters applied by Aneel. 

 

On December 1, 2020, Aneel issued its Normative Resolution 895, which established the methodology for calculation of the compensation, and the procedures for renegotiation of hydrological risk. To be eligible for the compensations under Law 14,052, the holders of hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE are required to:

 

(i)cease any legal actions which claimed exemption from or mitigation of hydrological risks related to the MRE;
(ii)relinquishing any claims and/or further legal actions in relation to exemptions from or mitigation of hydrological risks related to the MRE; and
(iii)not to have renegotiated hydrological risk under Law 13,203/2015.

 

On June 11, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized withdrawal of any legal proceedings based on the MRE, and the signing of the Term of Acceptance of Law 14,052/2020 provisions, for the plants within the concession contracts of Cemig GT and subsidiaries. With the approval by the Board of Directors, the Company recognized, on the second quarter of 2021, an intangible asset relating to the right to the extension of concessions, with counterpart in “Operational costs – Renegotiation of Hydrological risk (Law 14,052/20)”, in the amount of R$910.

 

On August 03, 2021, Aneel ratified, through the Resolution nº. 2,919/2021, the terms of concession extension of hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE, including all of the Company’s plants qualified for the renegotiation, except for Queimado and Irapé, which renegotiate the hydrological risk through the Resolution nº. 684/2015 and were not covered by the Resolution nº. 2,919/2021. The values ratified are aligned with the Company estimations, based on the Resolution Aneel nº. 895/2020.

 

 F-99 
 

 

On September 14, 2021 Aneel ratified the grant extension of the hydroelectric plants participating in the MRE, through Resolution (ReH) 2,932/2021, including Irapé and Queimado, for which the extensions were under discussion with the Grantor, and, therefore, were not included in ReH 2,919/2021. Thus, in the third quarter of 2021, there was a recognition of an increase of R$122 in Intangible assets, due to the concessions extension of those plants. As a result, the total of Intangible assets was increased to R$1,032, which is recognized as a decrease in Operational costs, as Renegotiation of hydrological risk – Law 14,052/20.

 

The fair values of the concessions extension rights have been estimated individually, as shown in the table below, using the revenue approach, under which future values are converted into a single present value, discounted by the rate of profitability approved by Management for the energy generation activity, reflecting present market expectations in relation to the future amounts. The useful life of items that are components of Intangible assets has been adjusted for the new remaining concession period, that is the result of addition, to the original concession period, of the new concession extension granted.

The Resolution nº. 2,919/2021 ratified the amount of the right to compensation for the São Simão, Jaguara, Miranda and Volta Grande generation plants, which had been owned by Cemig GT during the period stipulated in the Law 14,052/20, but does not specify how this compensation will happen in the event of absence of debts with the Federal Government related to the regime of concessions determined in that Law. The amounts calculated are:

Considering that there is no legal provision relating to how to settled the compensation of these non-hydrological risks will happen and such compensation depends on the occurrence of uncertain future events, which are not totally under its control, these contingent assets have not been recognized.

 

 

19.LEASING TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company recognized a right to use and a lease liability for the following contracts which contain a lease in accordance with IFRS 16:

 

§Leasing of commercial real estate used for serving customers;
§Leasing of building used as administrative headquarter;
§Leasing of commercial vehicles used in operations.

 

The Company has elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets). Thus, these leasing agreements are recognized as an expense in the income statement on the straight-line basis, over the period of the leasing. Their effects on net income from January to December 2021 were immaterial.

 

The discount rates were obtained by reference to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. In August 2021 the Company reviewed the methodology for discount rates estimation, which is now based on the risk-free rate adjusted to the reality of the Company, in order to reflect more appropriately its credit risk, and the economic conditions on the date of the agreement, as follows:

 F-102 
 

 

 

 

Marginal rates    Annual rate (%)    Monthly rate (%)
Initial application     
Up to two years   7.96    0.64
Three to five years   10.64    0.85
Six to twenty years   13.17    1.04
        
Contracts entered – 2019 at 2021       
Up to three years   6.87    0.56
Three to four years   7.33    0.59

Up to five years   5.81   0.47
Six to ten years   5.89   0.48
Eleven to fifteen years   5.95   0.49
Sixteen to thirty years   5.95   0.49
        

 

(1)Monthly the Company calculates the addition to the rate to be applied to the new contracts. For the purposes of publication, these are presented at the average rates used.

 

 

 

a)Right-of-use assets

 

The right-of-use assets were valued at cost, corresponding to the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liabilities, adjusted by its remeasurements, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Changes in the right-of-use assets are as follows:

 

     Real estate property    Vehicles    Total
Balances at December 31, 2019   206    71    277

(1)Amortization of the right-of-use assets is recognized in the Income Statement is net of use of the credits of PIS, Pasep and Cofins taxes on leasing payments of R$1 (R$2 on December 31, 2020).
(2)The Company has identified events giving rise to modifications of their principal contracts. When occurred, the lease liabilities adjustments are recognized in counterpart of the right-of-use assets.

 

b)Lease liabilities

 

The liability for leasing agreements is measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The liability carring amount is remeasured to reflect leases modifications as specified in IFRS 16.

 F-103 
 

 

 

The changes in the lease liabilities are as follows:

 

   2019
Balances at December 31, 2019   288

Balances at December 31, 2021   244 
      
Current liabilities   62 
Non-current liabilities   182 

 

(1)Financial expenses recognized in the income statement are net of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes credits on lease payments in the amounts of R$2 (R$2 on December 31, 2020).
(2)The Company identified events that give rise to modifications of their principal contracts. When occurred, the lease liabilities adjustments are recognized in counterpart of the right-of-use assets.

 

 

The potential right to recovery of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes embedded in the leasing consideration, according to the periods specified for payment, is as follows:

 

Cash flow  Nominal  Adjusted to present value
Consideration for the leasing   663    244 
Potential PIS/Pasep and Cofins (9.25%)   56    18 

 

 

The cash flows of the contracts containing a lease are, in their majority, indexed to the IPCA inflation index on an annual basis. Below is an analysis of maturity of lease contracts:

For more information, see Note 15.
(2)This includes the withholding income tax on Interest on equity declared on June 29, 2021. This payment was made in July 2021, in accordance with the tax legislation.

 

The amounts of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes to be refunded to customers refer to the credits to be received by the Cemig D following the extinction of the ICMS value added tax within the taxable amount for calculation of those taxes, in amount of R$2,836, as described in Note 9 (a). Until December 2021, a total of R$1,583, has been reimbursed to clients.

 

The Cemig D has a liability corresponding to the credits to be refunded to its customers, which comprises the period of the 10 years, from June 2009 to May 2019, net of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over monetary updating.

 

The Company started the reimbursement of the amounts to its customers, as follows:

§On August 18, 2020, Aneel ratified the inclusion into the tariff adjustment for 2020 of a negative financial component of R$714, in effect from August 19, 2020 to May 27, 2021 – this corresponds to the release of the escrow funds following final judgment in Company’s favor against which there is no further appeal.

 

 F-105 
 

 

§On May 25, 2021, Aneel ratified incorporation into the 2021 tariff adjustment, in effect from May 28, 2021 to May 27, 2022, of the negative financial component of R$1,573, corresponding to the total amount of the credits offset and received when the escrow deposit was released. There are more details on the credits in Note 8b to these financial statements. See Note 14.4 for more information on the Cemig D tariff adjustment.

 

Although the definitive criteria for the refunding of PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes to customers are pending, awaiting conclusion of discussions with Aneel and the mechanisms and criteria for reimbursement.

 

Additionally, as per Note 9 (a), the subsidiary Gasmig recognized the amounts of the PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes credits over ICMS for the periods covered by the legal action that argues this matter, in the amount of R$224. In the absence of a court judgment against which there is no further appeal, the subsidiary recorded a liability in the amount of R$187, corresponding to the amounts to be refunded to its customers, based on 10 years period, from the date of the end of the quarter. The 10 years period refers to the maximum amount possibly subject to restitution, to be validated after complementary analyses of the court decisions that will be issued, and the legislation in effect when the case was ruled against which there is no further appeal.

The price to be paid in the Cash Tender was 116.25%, or US$1,162.50 per US$1,000 of the principal amount.

 F-107 
 

 

 

On July 30, 2021, offers had been received from holders of Notes representing a total of US$774. Since the aggregate principal of all the Notes validly offered, until the Early Offer Date, exceeded the maximum amount, Cemig accepted the Notes offered on a pro rata basis until the ceiling amount of U$500.

 

In addition to the total acquisition amount, holders of validly offered notes that were accepted for purchase also received accumulated interest not yet paid since and including the last interest payment date, until but not including the Initial Settlement Date (August 5, 2021).

(2)In the event of a possible breach of the financial covenants, interest will automatically be increased by 2% p.a. during the period in which they remain exceeded. There is also an obligation to comply with a ‘maintenance’ covenants – that the consolidated debt, shall have a guarantee for debt of 1.75x Ebitda (2.0 as of December 31, 2017); and a ‘damage’ covenant, requiring real guarantee for debt at Cemig GT of 1.5x Ebitda.
(3)Ebitda is defined as: (i) Profit before interest, income tax and Social Contribution tax on profit; depreciation; and amortization, calculated in accordance with CVM Instruction 527, of October 4, 2012; – less: (ii) non-operational profit; any non-recurring non-monetary credits or gains that increase net profit; any payments in cash made on consolidated basis during the period relating to non-monetary charges that were newly added in the calculation of Ebitda in any prior period; and any non-recurring non-monetary expenses or charges.
(4)If Gasmig does not achieve the required covenants, it must, within 120 days from the date of notice in writing from BNDES or BNDESPar, constitute guarantees acceptable by the debenture holders for the total amount of the debt, subject to the rules of the National Monetary Council (CMN), unless the required ratios are restored within that period. Certain contractually specified situations can cause early maturity of other debts (cross-default).
(5)Non-compliance with the financial covenants results in automatic early maturity. If early maturity is declared by the debenture holders, Gasmig must make the payment after receipt of notification.
(6)The financing contracts with Caixa Econômica Federal for the Praias de Parajuru and Volta do Rio wind power plants have financial covenants with compliance relating to early maturity of the debt remaining balance. Compliance with the debt servicing coverage index is considered to be demandable only annually and during the period of amortization, which begins in July 2020. Early payment of the entire debtor balance was made on July 23, 2021, in the amount of R$5 (Central Eólica Praias de Parajuru) and R$9 (Volta do Rio). Until the settlement of the contracts, guarantees were maintained and the contractual obligations complied with.

 

On December 31, 2021, the Company was compliant with the covenants.

24.POST-EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS

 

Forluz Pension plan (a Supplementary retirement pension plan)

 

Company and its subsidiaries are sponsors of Forluz – Forluminas Social Security Foundation, a non-profit legal entity whose object is to provide its associates and participants and their dependents with a finance income to complement retirement and pension, in accordance with the pension plan that they are subscribed in.

Forluz provides the following supplementary pension benefit plans available to its participants:

 

Mixed Benefit Plan (‘Plan B’): This plan operates as a defined-contribution plan in the fund accumulation phase for retirement benefits for normal time of service, and as a defined-benefit plan for disability or death of participants still in active employment, and for receipt of benefits for time of contribution. The Sponsors match the basic monthly contributions of the participants. This is the only plan open for joining by new participants. The actuarial risks related to Plan B occur only as from the option for the lifetime benefit at the moment of the participant’s retirement. In this specific case the responsibility for the risk of insufficiency of reserves for coverage of the benefits (deficits) is in parity between sponsors and participants.

 

 

 F-112 
 

 

Funded Benefit Plan (‘Plan A’): This plan includes all currently employed and assisted participants who opted to migrate from the Company’s previously sponsored defined benefit plan, and are entitled to a benefit proportional to those balances. For participants who are still working, this benefit has been deferred to the retirement date. The benefit balances of Plan A have the characteristic of lifetime payment, and the responsibility for the risk of insufficiency of reserves to cover the benefits (deficits) is exclusively of the sponsors.

 

Company and its subsidiaries also maintain, independently of the plans made available by Forluz, payments to a health plan and a dental plan for the active employees, retired employees and dependents, administered by Cemig Saúde.

 

Life insurance

 

Until the end of the Collective Agreement in effect until October 2021, the Company made available coverage of 50% of the life insurance policy cost, with certain specific characteristics for retirees.

 

However, as a result of the amendment in the Collective Work Agreement for 2021-2023, in relation to offer and payment of life insurance for the employees and former employees, the Company understood that the post-retirement benefit in question had been canceled in its entirety, and as a result wrote off the balance of the obligation, remeasured using the revised actuarial assumptions, recognized in the income statement and Shareholders’ equity, in the amounts of R$415, and R$60.

 

On February 2, 2022 the Association of Retired Energy Workers and Pension Holders of Cemig and its Subsidiaries (‘Associação dos Eletricitários Aposentados e Pensionistas da Cemig e Subsidiárias – AEA/MG’) filed an injunction ordering the Company to comply with and maintain in full the same terms relating to coverage of the life insurance premium as were previously practiced. However, on February 11, 2022, the Regional Employment Law Appeal Court of the 3rd Region refused this application, on the grounds that this had been validly decided in the collective agreement.

 

Actuarial obligations and recognition in the financial statements

 

On this Note the Company discloses its obligations and expenses incurred for purposes of the Retirement Plan, Health Plan, Dental Plan and the Life Insurance Plan in accordance with the terms of IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, and the independent actuarial opinion issued as of December 31, 2021.

 

 

Debt with the pension fund (Forluz)

 

The Company has recognized an obligation for past actuarial deficits relating to the pension fund in the amount of R$385 on December 31, 2021 (R$473 on December 31, 2020). This amount has been recognized as an obligation payable by Cemig and its subsidiaries, and will be amortized until June of 2024, through monthly installments calculated by the system of constant installments (known as the ‘Price’ table), and adjusted by the IPCA (Expanded National Customer Price) inflation index (published by the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute – IBGE) plus 6% per year. The Company is required to pay this debt even if Forluz has a surplus, thus, the Company maintain recorded the debt in full, and record the effects of monetary updating and interest in finance income (expenses) in the statement of income.

 F-113 
 

 

 

Agreement to cover the deficit on Forluz Pension Plan ‘A’

 

Forluz and the Company have signed a Debt Assumption Instrument to cover the deficit of Plan A for the years of 2015, 2016 and 2017. On December 31, 2021 the total amount payable by Cemig and its subsidiaries as a result of the Plan A deficits is R$539 (R$540 on December 31, 2020, referring to the Plan A deficits of 2015 and 2016). The monthly amortizations, calculated by the constant installments system (Price Table), will be paid until 2031 for the 2015 and 2016 deficits, in the amount of R$353, and up to 2033 for the 2017 deficit, in the amount of R$186. Remuneratory interest applicable to the outstanding balance is 6% p.a., plus the effect of the IPCA. If the plan reaches actuarial surplus before the full period of amortization of the debt, also Company will not be required to pay the remaining installments and the contract will be extinguished.

 

In December 2020, in accordance with the applicable legislation, Forluz proposed to Cemig a new Debt Assumption Instrument to be signed, if approved, by Forluz, Cemig, Cemig GT and Cemig D, in accordance with the plan to cover the deficit of Plan A, that occurred in 2019. The total amount to be paid by the Company to cover the deficit is R$160, through 166 monthly installments. The remuneration interest rate over the outstanding balance is 6% per year, plus the effect of the IPCA. If the plan reaches actuarial balance before the full period of amortization of the debt, the Company will not be required to pay the remaining installments and the contract will be extinguished.

 

The Company recognized the legal obligation in relation to the deficit of Plan A corresponding to 50% of the minimum amount, and, thus, obeying the contribution parity rule, made payments of R$7 in consignment, corresponding from April to December 2021, to remain at the disposal of Forluz to be redeemed at an account with an official bank. Due to the refusal by Forluz to receive this amount, on May 26, 2021 the Company proposed an Action of Consignment in Payment, which is in its initial pleading phase.

 

Due to the Debt Assumption Instrument not being signed for coverage of the minimum amount proposed in the plan for solution of the Plan A actuarial deficit for 2019, and the refusal of the payments in consignment made by the Company, on April 27, 2021 Forluz filed legal action against the Company, applying for approval and confirmation of the request to ensure compliance with the contracting of the debt for coverage of the deficit of Plan A, in the amount of R$160, for the 2019 business year. The chances of loss have been assessed as ‘possible’, due to the action still being at the instruction phase, and there being no decisions on the merit. Also, the application by Forluz for emergency writ was refused.

25.PROVISIONS

 

Company is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings at various courts and government bodies, arising in the normal course of business, regarding employment-law, civil, tax, environmental and regulatory matters, and other issues.

 

Actions in which the Company is defendant

 

Company recorded provisions for contingencies in relation to the legal actions in which, based on the assessment of the Company’s management and its legal advisors, the probability of loss are assessed as ‘probable’ (i.e. an outflow of funds to settle the obligation will be necessary), as follows:

The Company’s management, in view of the extended period and the Brazilian judiciary, tax and regulatory systems, believes that it is not practical to provide information that would be useful to the users of these financial statements in relation to the the timing of any cash outflows, or any possibility of reimbursements, might occur.

 F-120 
 

 

 

The Company’s believes that any disbursements in excess of the amounts provisioned, when the respective claims are completed, will not significantly affect the Company’s result of operations or financial position.

The details on the main provisions and contingent liabilities are provided below, with the best estimation of expected future disbursements for these contingencies:

 

Provisions, made for legal actions in which the probability of loss have been assessed as ‘probable’ and contingent liabilities, for actions in which the probability of loss are assessed as ‘possible’

 

Labor claims

 

The Company is involved in various legal claims filed by its employees and by employees of service providing companies. Most of these claims relate to overtime and additional pay, severance payments, various benefits, salary adjustments and the effects of such items on a supplementary retirement plan. In addition to these actions, there are others relating to outsourcing of labor, complementary additions to or re-calculation of retirement pension payments by Forluz, and salary adjustments.

 

The aggregate amount of the contingency is approximately R$1,571 (R$1,386 at December 31, 2020), of which R$404 (R$427 at December 31, 2020) has been recorded – the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes.

 

Alteration of the monetary updating index of employment-law cases

 

In December 2020 the Federal Supreme Court gave partial judgment in favor of two actions for declaration of constitutionality, and ruled that monetary adjustment applied to employment-law liabilities should be by the IPCA-E index until the stage of service of notice in a legal action, and thereafter by application of the Selic rate, and the Reference Rate (TR) is not applicable to any employment-law obligations as well. The effects of this decision were modulated as follows:

§payments already made in due time and in the appropriate manner, using application of the TR, the IPCA-E or any other indexer, will remain valid and may not be the subject of any further contestation;
§actions in progress that are at the discovery phase, should be subject to backdated application of the Selic rate, on penalty of future allegation of non-demandability of judicial title based on an interpretation contrary to the position of the Supreme Court; and;
§the decision is automatically applicable to actions in which final judgment has been given against which there is no appeal, provided that there is no express submission in relation to the monetary adjustment indexes and interest rates; and this also applies to cases of express omission, or simple consideration of following the legal criteria.
 F-121 
 

 

Customers claims

The Company is involved in various civil actions relating to indemnity for personal injury and for material damages, arising, principally, from allegations of irregularity in measurement of consumption, and claims of undue charging, in the normal course of business, totaling R$181 (R$142 at December 31, 2020), of which R$33 (R$23 at December 31, 2020) has been recorded – this being the probable estimate for funds needed to settle these disputes.

Other civil proceedings

The Company is involved in various civil actions claiming indemnity for personal injury and for material damages, among others, arising from incidents occurred in the normal course of business, in the amount of R$461 (R$359 at December 31, 2020), of which R$38 (R$32 at December 31, 2020) has been recorded – the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes.

Tax

The Company is involved in numerous administrative and judicial claims actions relating to taxes, including, among other matters, subjects relating to the Urban Property Tax (Imposto sobre a Propriedade Territorial Urbana, or IPTU); the Rural Property Tax (ITR); the Tax on Donations and Legacies (ITCD); the Social Integration Program (Programa de Integração Social, or PIS); the Contribution to Finance Social Security (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social, or Cofins); Corporate Income tax (Imposto de Renda Pessoa Jurídica, or IRPJ); the Social Contribution (Contribuição Social sobre o Lucro Líquido, or CSLL); and motions to tax enforcement. The aggregate amount of this contingency is approximately R$212 (R$166 at December 31, 2020), of which R$19 (R$14 at December 31, 2020) has been recorded – the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes.

In addition to the issues above the Company is involved in various proceedings on the applicability of the IPTU Urban Land Tax to real estate properties that are in use for providing public services. The aggregate amount of the contingency is approximately R$87 (R$85 at December 31, 2020). Of this total, R$3 has been recognized (R$4 at December 31, 2020) – this being the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes. The company has been successful in its efforts to have its IPTU tax liability suspended, winning judgments in favor in some cases – this being the principal factor in the reduction of the total value of the contingency.

 

Social Security contributions on profit sharing payments

 

The Brazilian tax authority (Receita Federal) has filed administrative and court proceedings against the Company, relating to social security contributions on the payment of profit sharing to its employees over the period 1999 to 2016, alleging that the Company did not comply with the requirements of Law 10,101/2000 on the argument that it did not previously establish clear and objective rules for the distribution of these amounts. In August 2019, the Regional Federal Court of the First Region published a decision against the Company on this issue. As a result the Company, based on the opinion of its legal advisers, reassessed the probability of loss from ‘possible’ to ‘probable’ for some portions paid as profit-sharing amounts, maintaining the classification of the chance of loss as 'possible' for the other portions, since it believes that it has arguments on the merit for defense and/or because it believes that the amounts questioned are already within the period of limitation.

 F-122 
 

 

The amount of the contingencies is approximately R$1,433 (R$1,520 on December 31, 2020), of which R$1,272 (R$1,276 on December 31, 2020) has been provisioned, this being the estimate of the probable amount of funds to settle these disputes. The significant change in the amount of contingencies is due, among other factors, a decision in favor of the Company in one of the administrative cases relating to social security contributions, for the period January to October 2010, which resulted in cancellations of tax debits, according to calculations made by the tax authority.

 

Non-homologation of offsetting of tax credit

 

The federal tax authority did not ratify the Company’s declared offsetting, in Corporate income tax returns, of carry-forwards and undue or excess payment of federal taxes – IRPJ, CSLL, PIS/Pasep and Cofins – identified by official tax deposit receipts (‘DARFs’ and ‘DCTFs’). The Company is contesting the non-homologation of the amounts offset. The amount of the contingency is R$199 (R$203 at December 31, 2020), of which R$1 (R$1 at December 31, 2020), has been provisioned, since the relevant requirements of the National Tax Code (CTN) have been complied with.

 

Regulatory

 

The Company is involved in numerous administrative and judicial proceedings, challenging, principally: (i) tariff charges in invoices for use of the distribution system by a self-producer; (ii) alleged violation of targets for continuity indicators in retail supply of energy; and (iii) the tariff increase made during the federal government’s economic stabilization plan referred to as the ‘Cruzado Plan’, in 1986. The aggregate amount of the contingency is approximately R$385 (R$345 at December 31, 2020), of which R$48 (R$52 at December 31, 2020) has been recorded as provision – the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes.

 

Other legal actions in the normal course of business

Breach of contract – Power line pathways and accesses cleaning services contract

 

Company is involved in disputes alleging losses suffered as a result of supposed breaches of contract at the time of provision of services of cleaning of power line pathways and firebreaks. The amount recorded is R$55 (R$46 at December 31, 2020), this being estimated as the likely amount of funds necessary to settle this dispute.

 

 F-123 
 

 

Luz Para Todos’ Program

 

The Company is a party in disputes alleging losses suffered by third parties as a result of supposed breach of contract at the time of implementation of part of the rural electrification program known as the ‘Luz Para Todos’. The estimated amount of the contingency is approximately R$420 (R$356 on December 31, 2020). Of this total, R$1 (R$1 on December 31, 2020) has been provided for the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes.

 

Other legal proceedings

 

The Company is involved as plaintiff or defendant, in other less significant claims, related to the normal course of their operations including: environmental matters; provision of cleaning service in power line pathways and firebreaks, removal of residents from risk areas; and indemnities for rescission of contracts, on a lesser scale, related to the normal course of its operations, with an estimated total amount of R$402 (R$621 at December 31, 2020), of which R$15 (R$17 at December 31, 2020), the amount estimated as probably necessary for settlement of these disputes – has been provisioned.

 

Contingent liabilities – loss assessed as ‘possible’

 

Taxes and contributions

The Company is involved in numerous administrative and judicial proceedings in relation to taxes. Below are details of the main claims:

 

Indemnity of employees’ future benefit (the ‘Anuênio’)

 

In 2006 the Company paid an indemnity to its employees, totaling R$178, in exchange for rights to future payments (referred to as the Anuênio) for time of service, which would otherwise be incorporated, in the future, into salaries. The Company did not pay income tax and Social Security contributions on this amount because it considered that those obligations are not applicable to amounts paid as an indemnity. However, to avoid the risk of a future fine, the Company obtained an injection, which permitted to make an escrow deposit of R$122, which updated now represents the amount of R$290 (R$286 at December 31, 2020). The updated amount of the contingency is R$302 (R$295 at December 31, 2020) and, based on the arguments above, management has classified the chance of loss as ‘possible’.

 

Social Security contributions

 

The Brazilian federal tax authority (Secretaria da Receita Federal) has filed administrative proceedings related to various matters: employee profit sharing; the Workers’ Food Program (Programa de Alimentação do Trabalhador, or PAT); education benefit; food benefit; Special Additional Retirement payment; overtime payments; hazardous occupation payments; matters related to Sest/Senat (transport workers’ support programs); and fines for non-compliance with accessory obligations. The Company have presented defenses and await judgment. The amount of the contingency is approximately R$121 (R$110 at December 31, 2020). Management has classified the chance of loss as ‘possible’, also taking into account assessment of the chance of loss in the judicial sphere, (the claims mentioned are in the administrative sphere), based on the evaluation of the claims and the related case law.

 F-124 
 

 

 

Income tax withheld on capital gain in a shareholding transaction

 

The federal tax authority issued a tax assessment against Cemig as a jointly responsible party with its jointly controlled entity Parati S.A. Participações em Ativos de Energia Elétrica (Parati), relating to withholding income tax (Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte, or IRRF) allegedly applicable to returns paid by reason of a capital gain in a shareholding transaction relating to the purchase by Parati, and sale, by Enlighted, at July 7, 2011, of 100.00% of the equity interests in Luce LLC (a company with head office in Delaware, USA), holder of 75.00% of the shares in the Luce Brasil equity investment fund (FIP Luce), which was indirect holder, through Luce Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., of approximately 13.03% of the total and voting shares of Light S.A. (Light). The amount of the contingency is approximately R$239 (R$234 at December 31, 2020), and the loss has been assessed as ‘possible’.

The social contribution tax on net income (CSLL)

The federal tax authority issued a tax assessment against the Company for the years of 2012 and 2013, alleging undue non-addition, or deduction, of amounts relating to the following items in calculating the social contribution tax on net income: (i) taxes with liability suspended; (ii) donations and sponsorship (Law 8,313/91); and (iii) fines for various alleged infringements. The amount of this contingency is R$454 (R$425 at December 31, 2020). The Company has classified the probaility of loss as ‘possible’, in accordance with the analysis of the case law on the subject.

 

ICMS (local state value added tax)

 

From December 2019 to December 2021, the Tax Authority of Minas Gerais State issued infraction notices against the subsidiary Gasmig, in the total amount of R$357, relating to reduction of the calculation base of ICMS tax in the sale of natural gas to its customers over the period from December 2014 to September 2021, alleging a divergence between the form of calculation used by Gasmig and the opinion of that tax authority. The claims comprises principal amount of R$124, penalty payments of R$201 and interest of R$32.

 

Considering that the State of Minas Gerais, over a period of more than 25 years, has never made any allegations against the methodology of calculation by the Company, Management and Company’s legal advisors, believe that there is a defense under Article 100, III of the National Tax Code, which removes claims for penalties and interest; and that the contingency for loss related to these amounts is ‘remote’. In relation to the argument on the difference between the amount of ICMS tax calculated by Gasmig and the new interpretation by the state tax authority, the probability of loss was considered ‘possible’. On December 31, 2021 the amount of the contingency for the period relating to the rules on expiry by limitation of time is R$140 (R$107 on December 31, 2020). In July 2021, Gasmig filed an lawsuit for annulment of a tax debit, against the State of Minas Gerais, and this proceeding suspended the tax claim referred to above.

 

 F-125 
 

 

Interest on Equity

 

The Company filed an application for mandamus, with interim relief, requesting the right to deduct, from the basis of calculation of corporate income tax and Social Contribution tax, the expense relating to payment of Interest on Equity in 4Q20 calculated on the basis of prior periods (the first and second quarters of 2020), and for cancellation of the demand for new supposed credits of corporate income tax and the Social Contribution relating to the amount that was not paid as a result of the deduction of the said financial expense, with application of fines. The amount of the contingencies in this case is approximately R$60 on December 31, 2021, and the chances of loss were assessed as ‘possible’, based on analysis of current judgments by the Brazilian courts on the theme.

 

Reversal of credits in calculation of PIS/ Pasep and Cofins taxes

 

The Brazilian tax authority issued, in August 2021, two infringement notices relating to calculation of the PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes, from August 2016 to December 2017, alleging insufficiency of payment of these contributions due to supposed undue credits deduction of the expenses on the Proinfa charge, and absence of reversal of the credits related to non-technical losses. The Company is contesting these infringement notices. On December 31, 2021 the amount of the contingency is R$162 and the Company has classified the chances of loss as ‘possible’, due to the scarcity of case law on the subject.

 

Regulatory matters

 

Public Lighting Contribution (CIP)

Cemig and Cemig D are defendants in several public civil claims (class actions) requesting nullity of the clause in the Electricity Supply Contracts for public illumination signed between the Company and the various municipalities of its concession area, and restitution by the Company of the difference representing the amounts charged in the last 20 years, in the event that the courts recognize that these amounts were unduly charged. The actions are grounded on a supposed error by Cemig in the estimation of the period of time that was used in calculation of the consumption of energy for public illumination, funded by the Public Lighting Contribution (Contribuição para Iluminação Pública, or CIP).

 

The Company and its subsidiaries believes it has arguments of merit for defense in these claims, since the charge at present made is grounded on Aneel Normative Resolution 456/2000. As a result, it has not constituted a provision for this action, the amount of which is estimated at R$1,269 (R$1,072 at December 31, 2020). The Company has assessed the probability of loss in this action as ‘possible’, due to the Customer Defense Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor, or CDC) not being applicable, because the matter is governed by the specific regulation of the electricity sector, and because Cemig complied with Aneel Resolutions 414 and 456, which deal with the subject.

 

Accounting of energy sale transactions in the Power Trading Chamber (CCEE)

 

In a claim dating from August 2002, AES Sul Distribuidora challenged in the court the criteria for accounting of energy sale transactions in the wholesale energy market (Mercado Atacadista de Energia, or MAE) (predecessor of the present Power Exchange Chamber – Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica, or CCEE), during the period of rationing. It obtained a favorable interim judgment on February 2006, which ordered the grantor (Aneel), working with the CCEE, to comply with the claim by AES Sul and recalculate the settlement of the transactions during the rationing period, not considering the grantor (Aneel) Dispatch 288 of 2002.

 F-126 
 

 

 

This should take effect in the CCEE as from November 2008, resulting in an additional disbursement for Cemig GT, related to the expense on purchase of energy in the spot market on the CCEE, in the approximate amount of R$437 (R$376 at December 31, 2020). On November 9, 2008 Cemig GT obtained an interim decision in the Regional Federal Appeal Court (Tribunal Regional Federal, or TRF) suspending the obligatory nature of the requirement to pay into court the amount that would have been owed under the Special Financial Settlement made by the CCEE. Cemig GT has classified the chance of loss as ‘possible’, since this action deals with the General Agreement for the Electricity Sector, in which the Company has the full documentation to support its arguments.

 

Tariff increases

 

Exclusion of customers classified as low-income

 

The Federal Public Attorneys’ Office filed a class action against the Company and the grantor (Aneel), to avoid exclusion of customers from classification in the Low-income residential tariff sub-category, requesting an order for Cemig D to pay twice the amount paid in excess by customers. A decision was given in favor of the plaintiffs, but the Company and the grantor (Aneel) have filed an interlocutory appeal and await judgment. The amount of the contingency is approximately R$413 (R$357 at December 31, 2020). Cemig D has classified the probability of loss as ‘possible’ due to other favorable decisions on this matter.

 

Environmental claims

 

Impact arising from construction of power plants

 

The Public Attorneys’ Office of Minas Gerais State has filed class actions requiring the formation of a Permanent Preservation Area (APP) around the reservoir of the Capim Branco hydroelectric plant, suspension of the effects of the environmental licenses, and recovery of alleged environmental damage. Based on the opinion of its legal advisers in relation to the changes that have been made in the new Forest Code and in the case law on this subject, Cemig GT has classified the chance of loss in this dispute as ‘possible’.

Other contingent liabilities

Early settlement of the CRC (Earnings Compensation) Account

The Company was involved in an administrative proceeding at the Audit Court of the State of Minas Gerais which challenges: (i) a difference of amounts relating to the discount offered by Cemig for early repayment of the credit owed to Cemig by the State under the Receivables Assignment Contract in relation to the CRC Account (Conta de Resultados a Compensar, or Earnings Compensation Account) – this payment was completed in the first quarter of 2013; and also (ii) possible undue financial burden on the State after the signature of the Amendments that aimed to re-establish the economic and financial balance of the Contract. In August 2021, was released a decision from Audit Board of the State of Minas Gerais which recognized expiration of the punitive and compensatory claims, since it was not given within five years from the first event giving rise to the expiry period (a decision on the merits, appealable). As a result of this the case was set aside in November 2021.

Capital increase

 

The Annual General Meeting held on April, 30, 2021 approved Management's proposal for allocation of the profits for 2020, disclosed in the 2020 financial statements, including a capital increase from R$7,594 to R$8,467 pursuant to Article 199 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, since the profit reserve at December 31, 2020, (excluding tax incentive reserve and the unrealized profit reserve), exceed the registered share capital by R$1,529. This capital increase was made through the issuance of 174,609,467 new shares, of which 58,366,345 were common shares and 116,243,122 preferred shares, with nominal unit value of R$5.00, by the capitalization of R$873 from profit retention reserve.

 

In addition, the Annual General Meeting held on April 29, 2022 approved the Management’s proposal for allocation of the profits for 2021, disclosed in the 2021 financial statements, including a capital increase of the registered share capital from R$8,467 to R$11,007, also pursuant to Article 199 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, since the profit reserve at December 31, 2020, (excluding tax incentive reserve and the unrealized profit reserve), exceed the registered share capital by R$1,523. This capital increase was made through the issuance of 508,008,620 new shares, of which 169,810,990 were common shares and 338,197,630 preferred shares, with nominal unit value of R$5.00, by the capitalization of R$2,540 from profit retention reserve.

b)Earnings per share

 

The number of shares included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, is described in the table below:

 

Number of shares  2021  2020  2019
Common shares already paid up   735,847,624    735,847,624    735,847,624

 Number of share   1,464,677,002    1,464,677,002    1,464,677,002 
Total   2,200,524,524    2,200,524,524    2,200,524,524 

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share

The Company’s preferred shares carry the right to a minimum mandatory dividend, as shown in more detail in item ‘e’.

 

The purchase and sale options of investments in SAAG, described in Note 30, could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future; however, they have not caused dilution of earning per share in 2021, 2020 and 2019.

 

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

 

   2021  2020  2019
Net income for the year attributed to equity holders of the parent   3,751    2,864    3,194 
                
Minimum mandatory dividend from net income for the year - preferred shares   1,309    986    509 
Net income for the year not distributed - preferred shares   1,188    920    1,617 
Total earnings - preferred shares (A)   2,497    1,906    2,126 
                
Minimum mandatory dividend from net income for the year - common shares   657    496    256 
Net income for the year not distributed - common shares   597    462    812 
Total earnings - common shares (B)   1,254    958    1,068 
                
Basic and diluted earnings per preferred share (A / number of preferred shares)   1.70    1.30    1.45 
Basic and diluted earnings per common share (B / number of common shares)   1.70    1.30    1.45 

 

   2021  2020  2019
Net income for the year from continuing operations attributed to equity holders of the parent   3,751    2,864    2,970 
                
Minimum mandatory dividend from net income for the year from continuing operations – preferred shares   1,309    986    509 
Net income for the year from continuing operations not distributed – preferred shares   1,188    920    1,468 
Total earnings from continuing operations - preferred shares (A.1)   2,497    1,906    1,977 
                
Minimum mandatory dividend from net income for the year from continuing operations - common shares   657    496    256 
Net income for the year from continuing operations not distributed – common shares   597    462    737 
Total earnings from continuing operations - common shares (B.1)   1,254    958    993 
                
Basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per preferred share (A.1 / number of preferred shares)   1.70    1.30    1.35 
Basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share (B.1 / number of common shares)   1.70    1.30    1.35 

 

Considering that each class of share participates equally in the profit reported, the earning per share in the fiscal years ended in December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were, respectively, R$1.70, R$1.30 and R$1.45. These figures are calculated based on the Company’s number of shares at the date of these financial statements approval, according to IAS 33, adjusting the earning per share of the comparative prior years, 2020 and 2019.

c)Valuation adjustments

 

    2021    2020    2019 
Adjustments to actuarial liabilities – Employee benefits   (329)   (340)   (343)
Subsidiary and jointly controlled entity               
Adjustments to actuarial liabilities – Employee benefits   (2,433)   (2,660)   (2,650)
Deemed cost of PP&E   554    569    586 
 Total   (1,879)   (2,091)   (2,064)
Valuation adjustments   (2,208)   (2,431)   (2,407)

 

The adjustments to post-employment benefit obligations comprise gains or losses resulting from re-measurements of the net defined-benefit obligation, in accordance with the actuarial report, net of tax effects: on December 31, 2021 this balance is R$2,208 (R$2,431 on December 31, 2020).

 

The Company has reclassified the accumulated balance of actuarial losses related to life insurance to Retained Earnings, in the amount of R$39, net of taxes, due to the cancellation of this post-employment benefit, with write-off of the obligation balance (more details are available in Note 24).

 

The amounts recorded as deemed cost of the generation assets represents its fair value determined using the replacement cost at initial adoption of IFRS on January 1, 2009. The valuation of the generation assets resulted in an increase in their book value, recorded in a specific line in Equity, net of the tax effects. These values are being realized based on the depreciation of the assets.

 

d)Reserves

 

Capital reserves

 

   2021  2020  2019
Investment-related donations and subsidies   1,857    1,857    1,857 
Goodwill on issuance of shares   394    394    394 
Shares in treasury   (1)   (1)   (1)
 Capital reserves and shares in Treasury   2,250    2,250    2,250 

 

The Reserve for investment-related donations and subsidies basically refers to the compensation by the Federal Government for the difference between the profitability obtained by Cemig up to March 1993 and the minimum return guaranteed by the legislation in effect at the time.

The reserve for treasury shares refers to the pass-through by Finor of shares arising from funds applied in Cemig projects in the area covered by Sudene (the development agency for the Northeast) under tax incentive programs.

 F-131 
 

 

Profit reserves

 

   2021  2020  2019
Legal reserve   1,181    995    853 
Statutory reserve   57    57    57 
Profit retention reserve   7,331    6,651    5,500 
Unrealized profit reserve   835    835    835 
Incentive tax reserve   124    103    85 
Reserve for mandatory dividends not distributed   1,420    1,420    1,420 
 Profit reserves   10,948    10,061    8,750 

 

Legal reserve

Constitution of the legal reserve is mandatory, up to the limits established by law. The purpose of the reserve is to ensure the security of the share capital, its use being allowed only for offsetting of losses or increase capital. This reserve constitution corresponds to 5% of the net income for the year, less the amount allocated to incentive tax reserve.

 

Statutory reserve

 

The reserve under the By-laws is for future payment of extraordinary dividends, in accordance with Article 28 of the by-laws.

 

Profit retention reserve

 

Profit retention reserve refers to profits not distributed in prior years, to guarantee execution of the Company’s Investment Program, and amortization of loans and financing. The retentions are supported by capital budgets approved by the Board of Directors in the respective years.

 

Unrealized profit reserve

 

Article of the Brazilian corporate law nº 6,404/76 allows the Company to pay the mandatory dividend, calculated as required by the Bylaws up to the amounts of the realized portion of the net income for the year (received in cash). The excess between such mandatory dividend amount and the dividends that will be actually paid was recorded in the “Unrealized profit reserve”.

 

In 2021, Company presented a positive net share of profit of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and affiliates of R$3,038, which can be regarded as unrealized portion of net income for the year, in accordance with the Brazilian corporate law.

 

Additionally, the above does not apply to the payment of the minimum mandatory dividends on preferred shares, which are required to be paid in full for an amount of R$564, as described in further details in f) below. In addition, since the creation of the unrealized profit reserve is optional, Management decided to propose the same proportion of dividend payment to shareholders owning common shares, considering Company’s expected financial capacity.

 

 F-132 
 

 

The outstanding balance of the unrealized profit reserve will remain R$835, considering the reversal of the reserve recorded in 2020 and the creation of a new one in 2021, in the same amount.

 

The unrealized profit reserve amounts can only be used to pay mandatory dividends. Hence, when the Company realizes such profits in cash, it must distribute the corresponding dividend in the subsequent period, after offsetting of any losses in subsequent years.

 

Incentives tax reserve

 

The Company has a right to a 75% reduction in income tax, including the tax paid at the additional rate, calculated on the basis of the operating profit in the region of Sudene (the Development Agency for the Northeast), for 10 years starting in 2014. The amount of the incentive recognized in the Statement of income was R$21 in 2021 (R$18 in 2020 and R$18 in 2019), and it was subsequently transferred to the Incentives Tax reserve. The amount of the Tax incentives reserve on December 31, 2021 was R$124 (R$103 at December 31, 2020). This reserve cannot be used for payment of dividends.

 

Reserve for mandatory dividends not distributed

 

   2021
Dividends withheld, arising from the net income of 2015    623 
Dividends withheld, arising from the net income of 2014   797 
    1,420 

 

These dividends were retained in Equity, in years 2015 and 2014, in the account Reserve for mandatory dividends not distributed; and as per the proposal approved in the Annual General Meetings of 2016 and 2015, the dividends retained will be paid as soon as the Company’s financial situation permits. The Company's Management, in view of the uncertainties present in the current macroeconomic scenario and the estimated cash requirement for the nex year, concluded that the financial situation does not yet allow the payment of these retained dividends.

 

e)Rights and preferences of the common and preferred shares

 

Every holder of Cemig common shares has the right to vote in an election for members of our Board of Directors. Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, any shareholder holding at least 5% of Cemig’s common shares in circulation may request adoption of a multiple vote procedure, which confers upon each share a number of votes equal to the present number of members of the Board of Directors and gives the shareholder the right to accumulate his or her votes in one sole candidate, or distribute them among several.

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law, holders of preferred shares representing at least 10% of Cemig’s share capital, and also holders of common shares representing at least 15% of its share capital (other than the controlling shareholder) have the right to appoint a member of the Board of Directors and his or her respective substitute member in a separate election. If none of the holders of common or preferred shares qualifies under the minimum limits specified above, shareholders representing, in the aggregate, a minimum of 10% of the share capital may combine their holdings to elect a member of the Board of Directors, and that member’s substitute member.

 F-133 
 

 

Under Article 171 of the Corporate Law, every shareholder has a generic right of first refusal in subscription of new shares, or securities convertible into shares, issued in any capital increase, in proportion to their percentage shareholding, except in the event of exercise of any option to acquire shares in our share capital. Shareholders are required to exercise their right of first refusal within 30 days from publication of the notice of increase of capital.

 

The dividend rights of the preferred and common shares are described below.

 

f)Dividends

 

Under the by-laws, if the Company is able to pay dividends higher than the mandatory minimum dividends required for the preferred Shareholders, and the remaining net income is sufficient to offer equal dividends for both the common and preferred shares, then the dividends per share will be the same for the holders of common shares and preferred shares. Dividends declared are paid in two equal installments, the first by June 30 and the second by December 30, of the year following the generation of the profit to which they refer. The Executive Board decides the location and processes of payment, subject to these periods.

Under its by-laws, Cemig is required to pay to its shareholders, as mandatory dividends, 50% of the net income of each year.

The preferred shares have preference in the event of reimbursement of capital and participate in profits on the same conditions as the common shares have the right, when there is net income, to a minimum annual dividends equal to the greater of:

 

(a) 10% of their par value, and

(b) 3% of the portion of equity that they represent.

 

Under its by-laws, Cemig’s shares held by private individuals and issued up to August 5, 2004 have the right to a minimum dividend of 6% per year on their par value in all years when Cemig does not obtain sufficient profits to pay dividends to its Shareholders. This guarantee is given by the State of Minas Gerais by Article 9 of State Law 828 of December 14, 1951 and by State Law 15,290 of August 4, 2004.

a)Revenue from energy supply

 

These items are recognized upon delivery of supply, based on the tariff specified in the contractual terms and approved by the grantor for each class of customer or in effect in the market. Unbilled supply of energy, from the period between the last billing and the end of each month, is estimated based on the supply contracted. For the distribution concession contract, the unbilled supply is estimated based on the volume of energy delivered but not yet billed.

 

 

This table shows energy supply by type of customer:

The results from variations in the CVA account (Parcel A Costs Variation Compensation Account), and in Other financial components in calculation of tariffs, refer to the positive and negative differences between the estimated non-manageable costs of the subsidiary Cemig D and the cost actually incurred. The amounts recognized arise from balances recorded in the current year, homologated or to be homologated in tariff adjustment processes. For more information please see Note 14.

 

d)Transmission concession revenue
§Construction revenue corresponds to the performance obligation to build the transmission infrastructure, recognized based on the satisfaction of performance obligation over time. They are measured based on the cost incurred, including PIS/Pasep and Cofins taxes over the total revenues and the profit margin of the project. For more information, see note 15.
§Operation and maintenance revenue corresponds to the performance obligation of operation and maintenance specified in the transmission concession contract, after termination of the construction phase. They are recognized when the services are rendered and he invoices for the RAPs are issued.
§Interest revenue in the contract asset recognized, recorded as transmission concession gross revenue in statement income. Revenue corresponds to the significant financing component in the contract asset and is recognized by the linear effective interest rate method based on the rate determined at the start of the investments, which is not subsequently changed. The average of the implicit rates is 6.86%. The rates are determined for each authorization and are applied on the amount to be received (future cash flow) over the contract duration. This includes financial updating by the inflation index specified for each transmission contract.
 F-138 
 

 

 

The margin defined for each performance obligation from the transmission concession contract is as follows:

 

   2021  2020  2019 (1)
Construction and upgrades revenue   252    201    312 
Construction and upgrades costs   (183)   (147)   (220)

g)Energy transactions on the CCEE (Power Trading Chamber)

 

The revenue from transactions made through the Power Trading Chamber (Câmara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica, or CCEE) is the monthly positive net balance of settlements of transactions for purchase and sale of energy in the Spot Market, through the CCEE, for which the consideration corresponds to the product of energy sold at the Spot Price. 

 

h)Mechanism for the sale of energy surplus

 

The revenue from the surplus sale mechanism (‘Mecanismo de Venda de Excedentes – MVE’) refers to the sale of power surpluses by distributor agents. This mechanism is an instrument regulated by Aneel enabling distributors to sell over contracted supply – the energy amount that exceeds the quantity required to supply captive customers.

The main conditions and characteristics of interest with reference to the related party transactions are:

 

(1)Refers to sale of energy supply to the Minas Gerais State government. The price of the supply is set by the grantor (Aneel) through a Resolution relating to the annual tariff adjustment of Cemig D. In 2017 the government of Minas Gerais State signed a debt recognition agreement with Cemig D for payment of debits relating to the supply of power due and unpaid, in the amount of R$113, up to November 2019. These receivables have guarantee in the form of Cemig’s right to retain dividends and Interest on Equity otherwise payable to the State (in proportion to the State’s equity interest in the Company), for as long as any payments are overdue or in default. On March, 31, 2021, Cemig D obtained authorization from the Minas Gerais State Finance Secretary to offset part of the ICMS tax payable to the state against the debt owed by the State government to the company, under State Law 23,705/2020. Until December 31, 2021, nine installments had been offset.
(2)This refers to the recalculation of the inflation adjustment of amounts relating to the Advance against Future Capital Increase (AFAC), which were returned to the State of Minas Gerais. These receivables have guarantee in the form of Cemig’s right to retain dividends and Interest on Equity otherwise payable to the State (in proportion to the State’s equity interest in the Company), for as long as any payments are overdue or in default. For more information, see Note 11.
(3)The relationship between Cemig and its investees are described in Note 16 – Investments.
(4)The transactions in sale and purchase of energy between generators and distributors take place through auctions in the Regulated Market, and are organized by the federal government. In the Free Market, transactions are made through auctions or through direct contracting, under the applicable legislation. Transactions for transport of energy, on the other hand, are carried out by transmission companies and arise from the centralized operation of the National Grid, executed by the National System Operator (ONS).
(5)An uncovered liability was recognized corresponding to the Company’s equity interest in Madeira Energia S.A. as a result of the judgment given in the arbitration proceedings (for more details see Note 16 to the financial statements).
(6)Refers to a contract to provide plant operation and maintenance services.
(7)This refers to the aggregate amounts of legal actions realized and legal actions provisioned arising from the agreement made between Aliança Geração, Vale S.A. and Cemig. The action is provisioned in the amount of R$149 (R$119 on December 31, 2020), of which Cemig’s portion is R$52 (R$41 on December 31, 2020).
(8)A liability was recognized corresponding to the Company’s interest in the share capital of Hidrelétrica Itaocara, due to its negative equity (see Note 16).
(9)This refers to a contract for development of management software between Cemig D and Axxiom Soluções Tecnológicas S.A., instituted in Aneel Dispatch 2657/2017;
(10)The contracts of Forluz are updated by the Expanded Customer Price Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo, or IPCA) calculated by the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE) plus interest of 6% p.a. and will be amortized up to the business year of 2031 (see Note 24).
(11)The Company’s contributions to the pension fund for the employees participating in the Mixed Plan, and calculated on the monthly remuneration, in accordance with the regulations of the Fund.
(12)Funds for annual current administrative costs of the Pension Fund in accordance with the specific legislation of the sector. The amounts are estimated as a percentage of the Company’s payroll.
(13)Rental of the Company’s administrative head office, in effect until August 2024 (able to be extended every five years, up to 2034), with annual inflation adjustment by the IPCA index and price reviewed every 60 months. On April 27, 2021, the Company signed with Forluz a contract amendment due to the transfer of Cemig Sim e Gasmig facilities to Júlio Soares building, reducing the Company’s rent expenses. On September 20, 2021 the lease contract was adjusted upward by 9.68%, corresponding to accumulated IPCA inflation over the prior 12 months.

 F-148 
 

 

 

 

At initial recognition the Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value and classifies them according to the accounting standards currently in effect. Fair value is a measurement based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

 

§Level 1 – Active market – Quoted prices: A financial instrument is considered to be quoted in an active market if the prices quoted are promptly and regularly made available by an exchange or organized over-the-counter market, by operators, by brokers or by a market association, by entities whose purpose is to publish prices, or by regulatory agencies, and if those prices represent regular arm’s length market transactions made without any preference.

 

§Level 2 – No active market – Valuation technique: For an instrument that does not have an active market, fair value should be found by using a method of valuation/pricing. Criteria such as data on the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially similar, or discounted cash flow analysis or option pricing models, may be used. Level 2 is based on information that is observable, either directly or indirectly. The objective of the valuation technique is to establish what would be the transaction price on the measurement date in an arm’s-length transaction motivated by business model.

 

§Level 3 – No active market – No observable inputs: Fair value is determined based on generally accepted valuation techniques, such as on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques, including non-observable data, such as the measurement at new replacement value (Valor novo de reposição, or VNR). Non-observable data should be used to measure fair value where significant observable data is not available, admitting situations in which there is little or no market activity at the measurement date. Non-observable data are developed using the best possible information available in the circumstances, which may include the entity’s own data.

 

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes information (inputs) from valuation techniques, and not the valuation techniques used for measurement of fair value. In some cases information is used from different hierarchy levels in measurement of fair value, and this is classified entirely in the same level of the fair value hierarchy applicable to the significant information of a lower level. For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization.

 

 F-149 
 

 

 

Fair value calculation of financial positions

Distribution infrastructure concession financial assets: These are measured at New Replacement Value (Valor novo de reposição, or VNR), according to criteria established by the Concession-granting power (‘Grantor’), based on fair value of the concession assets in service and which will be revertible at the end of the concession, and on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) defined by the Grantor, which reflects the concession holder’s return on the operations of the concession. The VNR and the WACC are public information disclosed by the Grantor and by Cemig respectively. The gas distribution assets are measured at the construction cost adjusted by the General Market Prices Index (Índice Geral de Preços de Mercado – IGPM). Changes in concession financial assets are disclosed in Note 14.

 

Indemnifiable receivable – generation: measured at New Replacement Value (VNR), as per criteria set by regulations of the grantor power, based on the fair value of the assets to be indemnify at the end of the concession. For more information, see Note 14.2.

Marketable securities: Fair value of marketable securities is determined taking into consideration the market prices of the investment, or market information that makes such calculation possible, considering future interest rates and exchange of investments to similar securities. The market value of the security is deemed to be its maturity value discounted to present value by the discount rate obtained from the market yield curve.

Put options: The Company adopted the Black-Scholes-Merton method for measuring fair value of Sonda options. The fair value of these options was calculated on the basis of the estimated exercise price on the day of exercise of the option, less the fair value of the underlying shares, also estimated for the date of exercise, brought to present value at the reporting date.

 

Swaps: Fair value was calculated based on the market value of the security at its maturity adjusted to present value by the discount rate from the market yield curve.

 

Other financial liabilities: Fair value of its loans, financing and debentures were determined using 131.33% of the CDI rate – based on its most recent funding. For the loans, financing, debentures and debt renegotiated with Forluz, with annual rates between IPCA + 4.10% to 6.20% and CDI + 0.79% to 4.67%, Company believes that their carrying amount is approximated to their fair value.

 

b)Derivative financial instruments

Put options

On December 31, 2021 and 2020, the options values were as follows:

 

   2021  2020
Put option – SAAG   636    536 
Put / call options – Ativas and Sonda         (3)
    636    533 

 

 F-150 
 

 


Put option – SAAG

 

Option contracts were signed between Cemig GT and the private pension entities that participate in the investment structure of SAAG (comprising FIP Melbourne, Parma Participações S.A. and FIP Malbec, jointly, ‘the Investment Structure’), giving those entities the right to sell units in the Funds that comprise the Investment Structure, at the option of the Funds, in the 84th (eighty-fourth) month from June 2014. The provision of exercise price of the Put Options will correspond to the amount invested by each private pension plan in the Investment Structure, updated pro rata temporis by the Expanded National Customer Price (IPCA) index published by the IBGE, plus interest at 7% per year, less such dividends and Interest on Equity as shall have been paid by SAAG to the pension plan entities. This option was considered to be a derivative instrument until the early exercise of the option (for further details, see the next topic of this note), of accounted at fair value through profit and loss, measured using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) model.

 

Based on the analysis performed, a liability of R$636 was recorded in the Company’s financial statements (R$536 on December 31, 2020), for the difference between the exercise price and the estimated fair value of the assets. Since the option is due to be settled within twelve months after December 31, 2021, this amount was classified as current liabilities.

 

The changes in the value of the options are as follows:

 

    
Balance at December 31, 2018   419 
Adjustment to fair value   64 
Balance at December 31, 2019   483 
Adjustment to fair value   53 
Balance at December 31, 2020   536 
Adjustment to fair value   100 
Balance at December 31, 2021   636 

 

This option can potentially dilute basic earning per share in the future; however, they have not caused dilution of earning per share in the years presented.

 

Early liquidation of Funds, and early maturity of put option

 

On September 9, 2020, the administrator of the FIP funds, Banco Modal S.A., notified its unit holders of the beginning of the early liquidation process of the funds Melbourne, Parma Participações S.A. and FIP Malbec, due to expiration of the period of 180 days from its resignation, and the resignation of the manager of the Fund, from their respective positions, without there having been any indication of new service providers, as specified in the Fund’s Regulations.

 

As established by contract, funds liquidation is one of the events that would result in expiration date of the option, which the private pension plan entities stated interest in exercising in the period from September 9 to October 2, 2020.

 

However, the Company’s management believes that the premises and conditions that were the grounds for the investment in Santo Antônio Energia and the legal structure of the various contracts signed for this purpose underwent substantial changes which resulted in the options imbalance.

 F-151 
 

 

 

Thus, using the contractual prerogative contained in the option instruments, the Company invoked the contractual mechanism of Amicable Resolution for the contractual terms negotiation with the private pension plan entities. Since the amicable negotiation failed succeed, the Company invoked the arbitration clause for resolution of conflict between the parties, which awaits the decision of the Brazil Canada Chamber of Commerce of the State of São Paulo.

 

The Company recorded the accounting effects of this contract in accordance with the contract’s original terms.

 

Ativas and Sonda options

 

The Company as successor of Cemig Telecom, and Sonda Procwork Outsourcing Informática signed a Purchase Option Agreement (issued by Cemig Telecom) and a Sale Option Agreement (issued by Sonda), which resulted in the Company simultaneously having a right (put option) and an obligation (call option) related to the shares held by the investee Ativas Datacenter S.A. (“Ativas”). The exercise price of the put option and the call option is equivalent to fifteen times and seventeen times, respectively, the adjusted net income of Ativas in the year prior to the exercise date. Both options, if exercised, result in the sale of the shares in Ativas, currently owned by the Company, and the exercise of one of the options results in nullity of the other. The options may be exercised as from January 1, 2021.

 

The put and call options in Ativas (‘the Ativas Options’) were measured at fair value and posted at their net value, i.e. the difference between the fair values of the two options on the reporting date of the financial statements for 2021.

 

The measurement has been made using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model. In the calculation of the fair value of the Ativas Options based on the BSM model, the following variables are taken into account: closing price of the underlying asset in June 30, 2021; the risk-free interest rate; the volatility of the price of the underlying asset; the time to maturity of the option; and the exercise prices on the exercise date.

 

The valuation base date is December 31, 2021, the same date as the closing of the Company’s Financial Statements, and the methodology used to calculate the fair value of the company is discounted cash flow (DCF) based on the value of the shares transaction of Ativas by Sonda, occurred on October 19, 2016. Maturity was calculated assuming exercise date between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022.This is the first opportunity for the exercise of the option, which will be available at the same period of the following years, since the option grants the Company the right of selling to Sonda its interests held in Ativas, as of 2021.

Considering that the exercise prices of the options are contingent upon the future financial results of Ativas, the estimated exercise prices on the maturity date was based on statistical analyses and information of comparable listed companies.

Swap transactions

 

Considering that part of the loans and financings of the Company’s subsidiaries is denominated in foreign currency, the companies use derivative financial instruments (swaps and currency options) to protect the servicing associated with these debts (principal plus interest).

 

The derivative financial instruments contracted have the purpose of protecting the operations against the risks arising from foreign exchange variation and are not used for speculative purposes.

 

In 2021, the Company began studies and contracted services in order to take measures aimed to diligent managing its liabilities, and reducing liquidity risk and exposure to foreign currency. In this context, on July 19, 2021, the Company opened a Tender Offer to acquire, for cash, foreign market debt securities it had issued, maturing in 2024, in the principal amount of US$500.

 

In alignment with Cash tender offer process, on June 7 and 8, 2021 the derivative financial instruments contracted, corresponding to US$500, were partially dismantled. As a result, the Company reported a gain of R$774.

 

To mitigate foreign exchange exposure until the date of repurchase, on June 4, 2021 the Company contracted a short-term hedge against variation in the value of the US dollar for a volume of US$600, locking in an exchange rate of R$5.0984/US$. The instrument contracted was a non-deliverable forward (NDF), which does not include physical delivery of the currency, providing the Company with a pre-agreed rate at the maturity, which was August 3, 2021. For more details, see Note 22.

 

On June 7 and December 6, 2021, the half-yearly settlements of interest in the swap took place, with a positive effect of R$400, resulting in a net cash inflow to the Company of R$340. The total amount of hedge settlement until December 31, 2021 was R$1,174, with net cash inflow of R$998. The results from the settlement of the NDF was R$24, with net cash inflow of R$24.

1)For the US$1 billion Eurobond issued on December 2017: (i) for the principal, a call spread was contracted, with floor at R$ 3.25/US$ and ceiling at R$5.00/US$; and (ii) a swap was contracted for the total interest, for a coupon of 9.25% p.a. at an average rate equivalent to 150.49% of the CDI. In July 20 21, Cemig GT dismantled a total of US$500 of the original hedge issued. For the additional US$500 issuance of the same Eurobond issued on July 2018: (1) a call spread was contracted for the principal, with floor at R$3.85/US$ and ceiling at R$5.00/US$; and (2) a swap was contracted for the interest, resulting in a coupon of 9.25% p.a., with an average rate equivalent to 125.52% of the CDI rate The upper limit for the exchange rate in the hedge instrument contracted by the Company for the principal of the Eurobonds is R$5.00/US$. The instrument matures in December 2024. If the USD/BRL exchange rate is still over R$5.00 in December 2024, the company will disburse, on that date, the difference between the upper limit of the protection range and the spot dollar on that date. The Company is monitoring the possible risks and impacts associated with the dollar being valued above R$5.00, and assessing various strategies for mitigating the foreign exchange risk up to the maturity date of the transaction. The hedge instrument fully protects the payment of six-monthly interest, independently of the USD/BRL exchange rate.

 F-154 
 

 

In accordance with market practice, the Company uses a mark-to-market method to measure its derivatives financial instruments for its Eurobonds. The principal indicators for measuring the fair value of the swap are the B3 future market curves for the DI rate and the dollar. The Black & Scholes model is used to price the call spread, and one of parameters of which is the volatility of the dollar, measured on the basis of its historic record over 2 years.

 

The fair value at December 31, 2021 was R$1,213 (R$2,949 in December 31, 2020), which would be the reference if Cemig GT would liquidate the financial instrument on that date, but the swap contracts protect the Company’s cash flow up to the maturity of the bonds in 2024 and they have carrying value of R$1,451 at December 31, 2021 (R$2,360 in December 31, 2020).

 

The Company is exposed to market risk due to having contracted this hedge, the principal potential impact being a change in future interest rates and/or the future exchange rates. Based on the futures curves for interest rates and dollar, Company prepare a sensitivity analyses and estimates that in a probable scenario its results at December 31, 2022 would be affected by the swap and call spread at the end of the period in the amount of R$133. The fair value of the financial instrument will be R$1,346, in which R$1,149 refers to the option (call spread) and R$197 refers to the swap.

 

The Company has measured the effects on its net income of reduction of the estimated fair value for the ‘probable’ scenario, analyzing sensitivity for the risks of interest rates, exchange rates and volatility changes, by 25% and 50%, as follows:

 

  

 

Base scenario Dec. 31, 2021

The same methods of measuring marked to market of the derivative financial instruments described above were applied to the estimation of fair value.

 

c)Financial risk management

Corporate risk management is a management tool that is part of the Company’s corporate governance practices, and is aligned with the process of planning, which sets the Company’s strategic business objectives.

The Company monitor the financial risk of transactions that could negatively affect the Company’s liquidity or profitability, recommending hedge protection strategies to minimize the its exposure to foreign exchange rate, interest rate and inflation risks, which are effective, in alignment with the Company’s business strategy.

The main risks to which the Company is exposed are as follows:

 

 F-155 
 

 

Exchange rate risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of appreciation in exchange rates, with effect on loans and financing, suppliers (energy purchased from Itaipu) and cash flow. For the debt denominated in foreign currency, the Company contracted a derivative financial instrument that protects the risks associated with the interest and principal, in the form of a swap and a call spread, respectively, in accordance with the hedge policy of the Company. The Company exposure to market risk associated to this instrument is described in the topic “Swap transaction” of this note. The risk exposure of Cemig D is mitigated by the account for compensation of variation of parcel A items (CVA).

 

The net exposure to exchange rates is as follows:

 

                               
   2021  2020
Exposure to exchange rates  Foreign currency  R$  Foreign currency  R$
US dollar

Net liabilities exposed        (5,954)        (8,191)

 

 

Sensitivity analysis

Based on information from its financial consultants, the Company estimates that in a probable scenario the variation of the exchange rates of foreign currencies in relation to the Real at the end of 2022 will be an deppreciation of the dollar by 8.61% to R$5.10. The Company has prepared a sensitivity analysis of the effects on the Company’s net income arising from variation in the Real exchange rate considering the increase of 25%, and 50%, in relation to this ‘probable’ scenario.

Company has entered into swap operations to replace the exposure to the US dollar fluctuation with exposure to fluctuation in the CDI rate, as described on more detail in the item ‘Swap Transactions’ of this Note.

 

 F-156 
 

 

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company is exposed to the risk of decrease in Brazilian domestic interest rates on December 31, 2021. This risk arises from the effect of variations in Brazilian interest rates on financial revenues from cash investments made by the Company, and also to the financial assets related to the CVA and other financial components, net of the effects on financial expenses associated to loans, financings and debentures in Brazilian currency, and also sectorial financial liabilities.

 

Part of the loans and financings in Brazilian currency comprises financings obtained from various financial agents that specify interest rates taking into account basic interest rates, the risk premium compatible with the companies financed, their guarantees, and the sector in which they operate.

 

The Company does not contract derivative financial instruments for protection from this risk. Variations in interest rates are continually monitored with the aim of assessing the need for contracting of financial instruments that mitigate this risk.

 

This exposure occurs as a result of net assets indexed to variation in interest rates, as follows:

 

Risk: Exposure to domestic interest rate changes  2021  2020
Assets      
Cash equivalents – Cash investments (Note 6) – CDI   708    1,587 
Marketable securities (Note 7) – CDI / SELIC   2,078    4,125 
Restricted cash – CDI   19    64

Sector financial liabilities (note 14)   (51)   (231)
 Total liabilities   (1,530)   (2,614)
Net assets exposed   3,423    3,295 

 

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

In relation to the most significant interest rate risk, Company estimates that, in a probable scenario, at December 31, 2022 Selic and TJLP rates will be 13.00% and 6.94%, respectively. The Company made a sensitivity analysis of the effects on its net income arising from increases in rates of 25% and 50% in relation to the ‘probable’ scenario. Fluctuation in the CDI rate accompanies the fluctuation of Selic rate.

Increase in inflation risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of increase in inflation index on December 31, 2021. A portion of the loans, financings and debentures as well as the pension fund liabilities are adjusted using the IPCA (Expanded National Customer Price). The revenue is also adjusted using the IPCA and IGP-M index, mitigating part of the Company risk exposure.

Sensitivity analysis

 

In relation to the most significant risk of reduction in inflation index, reflecting the consideration that the Company has more assets than liabilities indexed to inflation indexes, the Company estimates that, in a probable scenario, at December 31, 2022 the IPCA inflation index will be 6.68% and the IGPM inflation index will be 11.46%. The Company has prepared a sensitivity analysis of the effects on its net income arising from an increase in inflation of 25% and 50% in relation to the ‘probable’ scenario.

Liquidity risk

 

Cemig has sufficient cash flow to cover the cash needs related to its operating activities.

 

The Company manages liquidity risk with a group of methods, procedures and instruments that are coherent with the complexity of the business, and applied in permanent control of the financial processes, to guarantee appropriate risk management.

Cemig manages liquidity risk by permanently monitoring its cash flow in a budget-oriented manner. Balances are projected monthly, for each one of the companies, over a period of 12 months, and daily liquidity is projected over 180 days.

Short-term investments must comply with investing principles established in the Company’s Cash Investment Policy. These include applying its resources in private credit investment funds, without market risk, and investment of the remainder directly in bank CDs or repo contracts which earn interest at the CDI rate.

 

In managing cash investments, the Company seeks to obtain profitability through a rigid analysis of financial institutions’ credit risk, applying operational limits for each bank, based on assessments that take into account their ratings, exposures and balance sheet. It also seeks greater returns on investments by strategically investing in securities with longer investment maturities, while bearing in mind the Company’s minimum liquidity control requirements.

Any reduction in the Company’s ratings could result in a reduction of its ability to obtain new financing and could also make refinancing of debts not yet due more difficult or more costly. In this situation, any financing or refinancing of the Company’s debt could have higher interest rates or might require compliance with more onerous covenants, which could additionally cause restrictions to the operations of the business.

The flow of payments of the Company’s obligation to suppliers, debts with the pension fund, loans, financing and debentures, at floating and fixed rates, including future interest up to contractual maturity dates, is as follows:

Credit risk

 

The distribution concession contract requires levels of service on a very wide basis within the concession area, and disconnection of supply of defaulting customers is permitted. Additionally, the Company uses numerous tools of communication and collection to avoid increase in default. These include telephone contact, emails, text messages, collection letters, posting of customers with credit protection companies, and collection through the courts.

 

The risk arising from the possibility of Cemig and its subsidiaries incurring losses as a result of difficulty in receiving amounts billed to its customers is considered to be low. The credit risk is also reduced by the extremely wide customers’ base.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable recorded on December 31, 2021, considered to be adequate in relation to the credits in arrears receivable by the Company, was R$833 (R$712 on December 31, 2020).

 

Company manage the counterparty risk of financial institutions based on an internal policy, applied since 2004.

 

This Policy assesses and scales the credit risks of the institutions, the liquidity risk, systemic risk related to macroeconomic and regulatory conditions, the market risk of the investment portfolio and the Treasury operational risk.

 

All investments are made in financial securities that have fixed-income characteristics, always indexed to the CDI rate. The Company does not carry out any transactions that would bring volatility risk into its financial statements.

 

As a management instrument, Company divide the investment of its funds into direct purchases of securities (own portfolio) and investment funds. The investment funds invest the funds exclusively in fixed income products, having companies of the Group as the only unit holders. They obey the same policy adopted in the investments for the Company’s directly-held own portfolio.

 

 F-160 
 

 

The minimum requirements for concession of credit to financial institutions are centered on three items:

 

1.Minimum Brazilian long-term rating of ‘BBB’ (bra), ‘brBBB’ or ‘Baa2’ by any of the agencies: Fitch Ratings, Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s.
2.Equity greater than R$800.
3.Basel ratio one percentage point above the minimum set by the Brazilian Central Bank.

 

The quality of the financial institutions’ credit portfolio is another indicator that is monitored and may result in reduction of the institution’s limit.

 

Banks that exceed these thresholds are classified in three groups, in accordance with their equity value, plus a specific segment comprising those whose credit risk is associated only with federal government, and within this classification, limits of concentration by group and by institution are set:

 

      Limit per bank (% of equity) (1) (2)
Group  Equity  AAA  AA  A  BBB
Federal Risk  -   10%   10%   10%   10%
A1  Equal or over R$10 billion   9%   8%   7%   6%
A2  Between R$5 billion and R$10 billion   8%   7%   6%   5%
A3  Between R$2 billion and R$5 billion   7%   6%   5%   4%
A4  Between R$800 million and R$2 billion   6%   5%   4%   —   

 

1.The percentage assigned to each bank depends on individual assessment of indicators, e.g. liquidity, and quality of the credit portfolio.
2.When the institution has different ratings from different risk rating agencies, the rating that is most favorable for the institution is taken into account.

 

Further to these points, Cemig also sets two concentration limits:

1.No bank may have more than 30% of the Group’s portfolio.
2.The banks in the ‘Federal risk’, ‘A1’ and ‘A2’ groups must concentrate at least 50% of the total of the funds available, comprising investments held in the Investment Funds and in the own portfolio, excluding public securities.

COVID-19 Pandemic – Risks and uncertainties related to Cemig’s business

 

The Company’s assessment concerning the risks and potential impacts of Covid-19 are disclosed in Note 1c.

 F-161 
 

 

 

Risk of over-contracting and under-contracting of energy supply

Sale or purchase of energy supply in the spot market to cover a positive or negative exposure of supply contracted, to serve the captive market of Cemig D, is an inherent risk to the energy distribution business. The regulatory agent limits for 100% pass-through to customers the exposure to the spot market, valued at the difference between the distributor’s average purchase price and the spot price (PLD), is only the margin between 95% and 105% of the distributor’s contracted supply. Any exposure that can be proved to have arisen from factors outside the distributor’s control (‘involuntary exposure’) may also be passed through in full to customers. Company’s management is continually monitories its contracts for purchase of energy supply to mitigate the risk of exposure to the spot market.

 

On April 07, 2020, Aneel expanded the limit of total amount of energy that can be declared by energy distributors in the process of the mechanism for the sale of surplus (‘Mecanismo de Venda de Excedentes’ - MVE), during 2020, from 15% to 30%, for the purpose of facilitating contractual reductions, considering the scenario caused by Covid-19 pandemic.

 

On May 18, 2020, the Decree 10,350/2020 authorized the creation and management of the Covid Account by the CCEE (Power Trading Exchange), whose purposes includes the coverage of the financial effects of over contracting caused by the pandemic. The amount estimated for this coverage was R$212. The Decree also added a sub-item to Article 3 of the Decree 5,163/2004, reducing the charge arising from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, calculated in accordance with an Aneel regulation, as one of the possible items to be treated as involuntary over contracting, and as a result passed through to customers.

 

Risk of continuity of the concession

 

The risk to continuity of the distribution concession arises from the new terms included in the extension of Cemig D’s concession for 30 years from January 1, 2016, as specified by Law 12,783/13. The extension introduced changes to the present contract, conditional upon compliance by the distributor to the new criteria for quality, and for economic and financial sustainability.

 

Non-compliance with the quality criteria for three consecutive years, or the minimum parameters for economic/financial sustainability for two consecutive years, results in opening of proceedings for termination of the concession.

 

The efficiency criteria for continuity of supply and for economic and financial management, required to maintain the distribution concession, were met in the year ended December 31, 2021.

 F-162 
 

 

 

Hydrological risk

The greater part of the energy sold by the Company’s subsidiaries is generated by hydroelectric plants. A prolonged period of drought can result in lower water volumes in the reservoirs of these plants, which can lead to an increase in the cost of acquisition of energy, due to replacement by thermoelectric generation, or reduction of revenues due to reduction in consumption caused by implementation of wide-ranging programs for saving of energy. Prolongation of the generation of energy using the thermal plants could pressure costs of acquisition of supply for the distributors, causing a greater need for cash, and could result in future increases in tariffs.

 

The Company continuously monitors the position of its energy balance and the risk position of power purchase contracting, in order to ensure that transactions are consistent with its objectives and corporate strategy.

 

Risk of debt early maturity

 

The Company’s subsidiaries have loan contracts with restrictive covenants normally applicable to this type of transaction, related to compliance with a financial index. Non-compliance with these covenants could result in earlier maturity of debts.

 

On December 31, 2021, the Company were in compliance with all the financial requiring half-yearly and annual compliance. More details in Note 22.

Renova for in-court supervised reorganization

 

On December 31, 2021, Renova had net working capital of R$7, accumulated losses of R$3,959, negative shareholders’ equity (unsecured equity) of R$651 and net income, in the year, of R$35.

 

On October 16, 2019, was granted court supervised reorganization petition applied by Renova, and by the other companies of the group (‘the Renova Group’).

 

Considering the non-existence of any legal or constructive obligations to the investee, the Company has concluded that the granted of in-court supervised reorganization filed by Renova and approved by the court and the transactions occurred in the year ended on December 31, 2021 does not have any additional impact on its financial statements and does not affect the sale’s plan of its equity interest in the investee.

§On October 25, 2019, Cemig GT made an Advance for Future Capital Increase to Renova, of R$5 and subsequently was agreeded between the Company and Renova a Debtor in Possession (DIP) loan agreements in the total amount of R$36.5. The funds of these loans, made under specific rules of court supervised reorganization proceedings, were necessary to support the expenses of maintaining the Renova’s activities, and were authorized by the second State of São Paulo Bankruptcy and Court Supervised Reorganization Court. They are guaranteed by a fiduciary assignment of shares in a company owning assets of a wind power project owned by Renova, in the approximate amount of R$60, and they also have priority of receipt in the court supervised reorganization process, in the sale of this asset given as guarantee. On June 30, 2020 an impairment in the amount of R$37.4, was recognized related to this loan. Under the share purchase agreement Cemig GT assumed an obligation not to exercise the amount under this loan, made after the proceedings of in court supervised reorganization had begun, until disposal of the Independent Productive Unit (UPI) SF 120, the company own in the Mina de Ouro project.

 

§On September 21, 2020, Renova approved the proposal made by the Company for suspension of the obligations in the PPA signed between them, as amended from time to time, for incentive-bearing wind power which were linked to phase A of the Alto Sertão III Wind Complex. The suspension will remain in effect until the beginning of the commercial operation of the facilities aimed at the Free Market, planned for December 2022.
§On December 18, 2020, the in court supervised reorganization Plans filed by Renova were approved by the General Meeting of Creditors (AGC) and ratified by the recovery court on the same day.
