PUBLIC COMPANY
Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. ("Company" or "Eletrobras") communicated on June 5, 2018 through a Relevant Fact, the granting by the Judge of Court of the 49th Labor Court of Rio de Janeiro of urgency protection, rendered in the lawsuit: 0100071-78.2018.5.01.0049, determining that the Company and the other defendants (Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia S.A. – AMAZONAS ENERGIA, Centrais Elétricas de Rondônia - CERON, Companhia de Eletricidade do Acre – ELETROACRE, Companhia Energética de Alagoas – CEAL and Companhia Energética do Piauí – CEPISA), "refrain from proceeding with the privatization process, in order to present individually or collectively, within a period of up to 90 (ninety) days, a study on the impact of privatization in the current labor contracts".
In addition, the Company hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that this decision was subject of a writ of mandamus filed by Eletrobras and the injunction filed was rejected by the Rapporteur Prosecutor.
On the other hand, the Federal Government has filed a request for a suspension of security (case: 0002121-22.2018.5.01.0000) in order to stop the earlier protection granted and, on this date, the President of the Regional Labor Court of the 1st Region has complied the request to suspend the injunction that prevented the continuation of the privatization process of the Distribution Companies.
Thus, Eletrobras will resume the procedures related to the privatization of the referred Distributors.
