Under the first paragraph of Article 126 of Law No. 6,404 of December 15, 1976, as amended ("Corporate Law") and the decision of the I. CVM Collegiate in CVM RJ-2014/3578 lawsuit, on November 4, 2014, the shareholder may be represented at the general meeting: (i) if a natural person, by a prosecutor established for less than one (1) year (who is a shareholder, administrator of the Company or lawyer regularly registered in the boards of the Brazilian Bar Association), (ii) if a legal entity, by its legal representatives or by a prosecutor appointed under its constitutive acts and by the rules of the Brazilian Civil Code, and (iii) if investment fund, by its administrator and/or manager or by a prosecutor appointed by its constitutive acts aby the rules of the Brazilian Civil Code.

 

By the procedures provided for in CVM Instruction No. 481 of December 17, 2009, as amended ("CVM Instruction 481"), in the Company's Reference Form and the instructions contained in the Management Proposal for the General Meeting, the shareholder may exercise the right to vote by completing and delivering the Remote Voting Ballot (“Voting Ballot”) made available by the Company on the Company's websites (https://ri.eletrobras.com), of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM") (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3") (www.b3.com.br).

 

Considering the situation that has been reported on the COVID-19 pandemic (coronavirus) in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing restrictions on the movement and meeting of people, the EGM will be held exclusively digitally, which is why the shareholder's participation can only be:

 

(a) via the Voting Ballot, and the detailed guidelines on the documentation required for remote voting is contained in the Ballot that can be accessed in the websites mentioned above; and

 

(b) via the Digital Platform, in person or by a proxy duly constituted under the terms of Article 21-C, paragraphs 2nd and 3rd of IN CVM 481, in which case the shareholder may: (i) simply participate in the EGM, has or has not sent the Voting Ballot; or (ii) participate and vote for EGM, noting that as for the shareholder who has already sent the Voting Ballot and who, if he wishes, vote in the Meeting via the Digital Platform, all voting instructions received through the Voting Ballot will be disregarded.

 

Shareholders who wish to participate in EGM via the Digital Platform must access the specific website of the Meeting, at https://www.tenmeetings.com.br/assembleia/portal/?id=17DA9EA4EA1D, and complete its registration, including the creation of a password, and annex all documents necessary for their qualification to participate and/or vote in the EGM, at least 2 (two) days in advance of the date designated for the realization of the EGM, that is, until February 20, 2022.

 

The following documents will be required from shareholders for qualification and participation and/or voting in EGM via the Digital Platform: (a) if natural person, copy of the identification document, legally recognized as such, with recent photo and national validity, within the validity period, if applicable, or, in the case of being represented by a proxy, copy of the instrument of mandate signed with less than one (1) year, along with the official identity document with photo of the proxy, and this proxy must be another shareholder, administrator of the Company or lawyer regularly enrolled in the boards of the Brazilian Bar Association; or (b) if a legal entity, (i) updated constitutive acts of the shareholder and the act that invests the representative(s) of powers enough for representation within the scope of the EGM, duly registered with the competent bodies, along with the official identity document with photo of the referred representative(s); (ii) if that's the case, instrument of mandate duly granted in the form of the law and/or the constitutive acts of the shareholder, along with the official identity document with photo of the proxy.

 

After sending all supporting documents of qualification, the shareholder or proxy, as the case may be, will receive confirmation of the license to participate in the EGM. Under Article 5, paragraph 3rd of CVM Instruction 481, access to the Digital Platform of shareholders who fail to submit the

17 
 

necessary participation documents within the period set forth herein and as detailed in the Management Proposal will not be allowed.

 

The Company clarifies that exceptionally for this EGM, it will dispense the need to send the physical means of the representation documents of the shareholders to its office, as well as the signature of the grantor in the power of attorney to represent the shareholder, the notarization, consumerization, the apostille and the sworn translation of all documents representing the foreign shareholder, simply sending a simple copy of the original copies of such documents through the website mentioned above. The Company will only admit power of attorney granted by shareholders by electronic means if containing digital certification that is within the standards of the Brazilian Public Keys Infrastructure or by another means of proving the authorship and integrity of the document in electronic form.

 

Detailed information on the rules and procedures for participation and/or distance voting in the EGM, including guidelines for sending the Remote Voting Bulletin, are contained in the Management Proposal available on the CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and Company (https://ri.eletrobras.com/). Guidelines on the rules of conduct to be adopted in the EGM will be available on the Digital Platform.

 

The Company's decision to hold the EGM exclusively digital, under Article 4th, paragraph 2nd, the item I and article 21-C, paragraph 2nd and 3rd of ICVM 481, was due to the extraordinary context through which the country and the rest of the world, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the transit of persons is being limited by the competent authorities and which, including the opening of airspace and transit through airports, is one of the aspects of greatest instability. Thus, the realization of EGM exclusively digitally reduces the need for air travel and the health risk of all EGM participants, facilitating the participation of shareholders and others involved in the realization of the EGM. Through this decision, the Company reiterates its commitment to the adoption of the measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 and to the safety of its shareholders and employees and the communities of the regions where it operates.

 

The resolutions at the EGM shall be passed by a majority of votes, and each shareholder's vote

shall be proportional to its shareholding in the Company's share capital.

 

The shareholders shall have access, at the Company websites (https://ri.eletrobras.com), CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 (www.b3.com.br), to the entire documentation related to the business which will be deliberated at the EGM, under the Brazilian Corporate Law and CVM Instruction 481.

In turn, the shareholder who has already sent the Voting Ballot may also, if desired, register to participate in the EGM through the Digital Platform, provided that he does so in the form and within the term described in this Management Proposal, in which case such shareholder may: (i) simply participate in the EGM, whether or not he has sent the Voting Ballot; or (ii) participate and vote for the EGM, observing that, as for the shareholder who has already sent the Voting Ballot and who, if you wish, vote for EGM, all voting instructions received through the Voting Ballot will be not considered.

Any questions or clarifications about the above issues may be resolved or obtained through contact with the Investor Relations Board, through the email assembleiavirtual@eletrobras.com.

 

Distance Voting

 

As provided for in CVM Instruction 481, in the form of Article 21-A, paragraph 2nd, Eletrobras will make available, up to 1 month before the date set for the realization of the EGM, the possibility of participation at a distance through the distance voting ballot ("Voting Ballot"), the model of which was made available in the websites of the Company (https://ri.eletrobras.com), CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 (www.b3.com.br).

 

 

To participate in the EGM through this modality, the Company's shareholders must fill in their fields, sign the Voting Ballot and send it, alternatively, to: (i) the Bookkeeping Agent (as defined below) of the shares issued by the Company; (ii) the Custody Agent responsible for the custody of the shares issued by the Company of its ownership ("Custody Officer"), provided that he is eligible to receive the Voting Ballot under CVM Instruction 481; or, also, (iii) the Company, directly, by post or electronic mail as provided for in item I of Article 21-B of said normative act.

 

In this sense, Eletrobras informs that the agent carrying out its shares, that is, Banco Bradesco S.A. ("Agent Bookkeeping"), under the terms of an agreement signed with the Company, you will receive the Voting Ballot from the Company's shareholders throughout its network of bank branches throughout the national territory, in compliance with the procedures established by the Bookkeeping Agent. Shareholders or their representatives must appear at any bank branch of the Bookkeeping Agent, with a valid, original identity, with photo and, in the case of shareholders considered legal entities and/or represented by a proxy, the competent representation documents must be presented, in addition to the Voting Ballot.

 

In addition, it should be noted that under CVM Instruction 481, custody agents may, but are not obliged, to receive the Voting Ballots from the Company's shareholders. As a result, it is recommended that shareholders check with their Custody Agent whether they will provide such service, as well as its costs and procedures. In cases where the Custody Agent chooses to receive the Voting Ballots, the Company's shareholders may also, in their sole discretion, forward the Voting Ballot directly to such agents.

 

Furthermore, under CVM Instruction 481, shareholders who so desire may also forward the Voting Ballot directly to the Company, and in this case, must observe the following rules:

 

(i)           Considering the situation that has been reported about the COVID-19 pandemic ("coronavirus") in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing restrictions on the movement and gathering of people, which affects the activities carried out in person by the Company's employees, the Voting Ballot will only be received when sent by e-mail, to the following e-mail address: ombudsman-ri@eletrobras.com. Therefore, exceptionally for this EGM, the Company will not require the sending of the originals to the Company;

 

(ii)          The Voting Ballot shall contain the place, date and signature of the requesting shareholder. If the shareholder is considered a legal entity under Brazilian law, the signature must be from his legal representatives, or attorneys with powers to practice this type of act; and

22 
 

 

(iii)         The Voting Ballot sent directly to the Company must be accompanied by documentation proving the status of a shareholder or legal representative of the signatory shareholder, subject, therefore, to the requirements and formalities indicated in item 1.3 above.

 

The Voting Ballot that is unaccompanied by the documentation necessary to prove the condition of shareholder, or proof of its representatives will not be considered valid, and, consequently, will not be processed by the Company, however, may be corrected and sent back by the shareholder to the Company, subject to the deadlines and procedures established in CVM Instruction 481.

 

The Voting Ballot that is received by the Bookkeeping Agent, the Custody Agent (as the case may be) and/or the Company will be admitted up to 7 (seven) days before the date of the General Meeting under Article 21-B of CVM Instruction 481. The Voting Ballot that is delivered after this deadline will be considered invalid and will not be processed by the Company.

 

After the expiry of the aforementioned period, if there are still unfilled items from the Voting Ballot presented, the Company informs that it will consider them as an instruction equivalent to abstaining from voting about such matters.

 

2.Clarifications on matters to be deliberated at EGM

 

Currently, the Company's share capital is R$39,057,271,546.52 (thirty-nine billion, fifty-seven million, two hundred and seventy-one thousand, five hundred and forty-six reais and fifty-two cents), divided into 1,288,842,596 (one billion, two hundred and eighty-eight million, eight hundred and forty-two thousand, five hundred and ninety-six) common shares, 146,920 (one hundred and forty-six thousand, nine hundred and twenty) class "A" preferred shares and 279,941,394 (two hundred and seventy-nine million, nine hundred and forty-one thousand, three hundred and ninety-four) class "B" preferred shares, all without nominal value.

The Company is controlled by the Federal Government, which holds 667,888,884 (six hundred and sixty-seven million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-four) common shares, corresponding to 51.82% (fifty-one integers and eighty-two hundredths percent) of the Company's voting share capital.

On July 12, 2021, Law No. 14,182 was enacted (Annex I), resulting from the conversion into law of Provisional Measure No. 1,031 of February 23, 2021 ("Law 14,182"), which determined the privatization of Eletrobras ("Privatization").

The Privatization, if approved through this EGM, will be implemented in the modality of increase of the share capital of Eletrobras, through the public subscription of new common shares, in Brazil and abroad, issued by Eletrobras ("Primary Offer") and waiver of the right of preference by the Federal Government and, optionally, will be accompanied by the disposal of shares issued by Eletrobras owned by the Federal Government or the ownership of companies controlled by it, directly or indirectly, who so desire, through a secondary public offering of shares, as permitted by Article 1st, paragraph 2nd, of Law 14,182 ("Secondary Offer"). Primary Offer and Secondary Offering will be jointly referred to as "Offering."

In effect of Privatization, by Law 14.182, the Federal Government is authorized to grant the granting of new concessions for the generation of electricity, to the contracts provided for in Article 2nd of that Law, for thirty (30) years, from the date of signing of the new contracts, as will be dealt with below.

Law 14,182 provides, in Article 3rd, item I, that Privatization is conditional on corporate restructuring to keep Eletronuclear under the control of the Federal Government, directly or indirectly, given the constitutional precepts that determine that the exploitation of nuclear activities constitutes a monopoly of the Federal Government (Article 21st, XXIII, and Article 177th, V, of the Federal Constitution). Likewise, Law 14.182 establishes as a condition of privatization that will also be transferred to the direct or indirect control of the Federal Government, of Eletrobras' stake in Itaipu Binacional.

In this sense, Decree No. 10,791 of September 19, 2021 ("Decree 10,791"), created Empresa

23 
 

Brasileira de Participações em Energia Nuclear e Binacional S.A. ("ENBPar"), a public company exclusively owned by the Federal Government that will maintain control of Eletronuclear and also the Brazilian participation in Itaipu Binacional.

The ENBPar also will assume and administer the obligations relating to PROINFA contracts, as determined by Law 14.182.

Law 14.182 also establishes as a condition of the privatization the change of the Bylaws of Eletrobras to: a) prevent any shareholder or group of shareholders from voting in a number greater than 10% (ten percent) of the number of shares in which Eletrobras' voting capital is divided; b) to prevent the realization of shareholders' agreements for the exercise of voting rights, except for the formation of blocks with several votes below the limit referred to in point (a) of this item; and c) to create a special class preferred share, owned exclusively by the Federal Government, under paragraph 7th of Article 17th of Law No. 6,404 of December 15, 1976, which will give the power of veto in the social deliberations related to the matters dealt with in items (a) and (b).

In addition, Article 3rd of the Law 14,182 expressly stated that the Investment Partnership Program Council ("CPPI"), created by Law No. 13,334 of September 13, 2016, in the use of the competence referred to in item II of the Caput Article 6th of Law No. 9,491 of September 9, 1997, may establish conditions in addition to those provided for in Caput this Article for approval by the extraordinary general meeting of Eletrobras for its privatization, without, however, changing the principles established in this Law.

The deliberations on the agenda are related to the possible privatization of the Company by Law No. 14,182/2021, which established the main terms and conditions of its privatization, set out in Annex 1 of this proposal.

The detailing of the operational modality, adjustments and conditions for privatization was approved by the CPPI, through Resolution No. 203, on October 19, 2021 ("CPPI Resolution 203"). On December 30, 2021, the CPPI issued Resolution No. 221 ("CPPI Resolution 221"), which revised CPPI Resolution 203 and established additional procedures for the Privatization and realization of the. CPPI Resolutions 203 and 221 are set out in Annex 2 of this Proposal.

The deliberations subject to the Agenda are essentially depending on the conditions established by CPPI Resolution and Law No. 14,182/2021 for the realization of the privatization, as well as from studies carried out by the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES). The BNDES Modeling Report, its adherents, and Legal Mapping Report are part of this Proposal as Annex 03.

If the Offer is not concluded, regardless of the reason, the matters subject to the Agenda, even if approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, will not be executed, since they are measures related to privatization.

As a result, under Law No. 14,182/2021 and CPPI Resolution, the validity and/or effectiveness of deliberations related to the segregation of non-privatizable assets and amendment of the Bylaws, must be conditioned to the implementation and settlement of the Offer.

That said, we will now deal specifically with each item of the Agenda, and it is important to highlight that this Management Proposal contains several annexes that detail the issues to be deliberated, bringing analysis, evaluations of benefits, costs, and risks involved, which are part of this Management Proposal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Item 1 of the Agenda

 

1.Corporate Restructuring to segregate non-privatizable assets

 

24 
 

(i) Transfer of all the stake held by Eletrobras in ITAIPU BINACIONAL to ENBPar

 

Itaipu is a binational entity created and governed by the treaty signed on April 26, 1973 (approved by Legislative Decree No. 23/1973), between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of Paraguay. Itaipu's capital is US$100,000,000.00 (one hundred million U.S. dollars), divided between Eletrobras and the National Administration of Electricity – ANDE ("ANDE"), in equal parts.

 

With the privatization, it will be necessary to replace the Company as a vehicle used by Brazil, as one of the high contracting parties. Thus, Law No. 14,182/2021 and Resolution CPPI 203 determined that, before the privatization, the Company will enter into a transfer agreement for its stake in Itaipu's capital to ENBPar.

 

ENBPar will pay Eletrobras the total price of R$1,212,148,151.65 (one billion, two hundred and twelve million, one hundred and forty-eight thousand, one hundred and fifty-one reais and sixty-five cents, equivalent to US$ 233,253,440.00 (two hundred and thirty-three million, two hundred and fifty-three thousand, four hundred and forty U.S. dollars) as of December 31, 2020, subdivided into the following components: (i) R$1,082,275,135.40 (one billion, eighty-two million, two hundred and seventy-five thousand, one hundred and thirty-five reais and forty cents), called Principal; and (ii) R$129,873,016.25 (one hundred and twenty-nine million, eight hundred and seventy-three thousand reais and twenty-five cents), called Remuneration 2021.

 

The values of Principal and Remuneration 2021 will be updated according to the change in the adjustment factor between the fiscal years 2020 and 2021, as well as by the U.S. dollar exchange variation between the base date of December 31, 2020, and the working day immediately preceding the completion of the transaction, calculated the adjustment factor referred to above in the manner provided for in the treaty signed on April 26, 1973 (approved by the Legislative Decree No. 23/1973 and promulgated by Decree No. 72,707 of August 28, 1973), between the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of Paraguay, as well as in subsequent Reverse Notes;

 

In addition to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Principal value will also be updated (i) by the variation of the U.S. indexes Industrial Goods and Consumer Price Index from December 31, 2021, to the close of the month preceding the transaction completion date; and (ii) for the application of a remuneration rate of twelve percent per year pro-rata die, for the period from December 31, 2021, to the close of the month preceding the transaction completion date.

 

The portion of the price identified as "Principal" will be paid in 240 (two hundred and forty) monthly installments while the portion identified as "Remuneration 2021" will be paid in 36 (thirty-six) monthly installments, both of which are corrected by the variation in the U.S. dollar exchange rate, considering the interest rate of 4.763% (four whole and seven hundred and sixty and three-thousandths of a percent) per year, the first portion being both the "Principal" and the "Remuneration 2021" due on the 30th (thirtieth) day counted from the settlement date of the public offering of shares that will be held for privatization provided for in Law No. 14,182/2021.

 

After the transfer of an interest in Itaipu, the Company will continue, for a period of 180 (one hundred and eighty) days, to provide support and advice services to ENBPar, necessary for the activity of Itaipu’s

25 
 

energy commercialization, according to conditions to be negotiated between the parts.

 

The economic fundamentals and calculation memory of the price to be paid by ENBPar for the participation in Itaipu's capital are included in Annex 4, as well as the legal opinion of the specialist Carmem Tibúrcio, who identifies the legal parameters arising from the Itaipu Treaty, applicable to the cumulative pricing of the asset in question (Annex 5).

 

It also integrates the present DFP technical note 003/2022 as Annex 6 and Annex 7 containing, in particular, the detailed description of the transfer of Itaipu's interest, as well as the management's recommendation regarding such transfer, as set out in Article 8 of CVM Instruction 481.

 

Finally, this proposal includes Annex 8, which contains the full copy of the corporate interest transfer agreement and other agreements, to be concluded between the Company and ENBPar, especially to regulate the disposal of the stake held by the Company in Itaipu, as well as provision of assistance during the transition of Itaipu Management, in order to ensure the operational, commercial, financial, regulatory and administrative continuity of activities, preserving governance in general.

 

(ii) Electronuclear segregation

 

Eletronuclear is a mixed-capital company incorporated under the authorization contained in Decree No. 76,803 of 1975, with the specific purpose of exploring nuclear activities to generate electricity, whose control is currently held by the Company.

 

Currently, Eletronuclear's share capital is R$8,493,035,701.18 (eight billion, four hundred and ninety-three million, thirty-five thousand, seven hundred and one reais and eighteen cents), divided into 37,658,166,491 (thirty-seven billion, six hundred and fifty-eight million, one hundred and sixty-six thousand, four hundred and ninety-one) common shares and 10,544,698,994 (ten billion, five hundred and forty-four million, six hundred and ninety-eight thousand, nine hundred and ninety-four) preferred shares, all nominative and without nominal value.

 

The Company is the parent company of Eletronuclear, holding 37,651,029,535 (thirty-seven billion, six hundred and fifty-one million, twenty-nine thousand, five hundred and thirty-five) common shares and 10,528,730,390 (ten billion, five hundred and twenty-eight million, seven hundred and thirty thousand, three hundred and ninety) preferred shares issued by the Company, representative, 99.95% (ninety-nine whole and ninety-five hundredths) of the share capital of Eletronuclear.

 

The exploitation of nuclear services and facilities constitutes the exclusive competence of the Federal Federal Government by Article 21st, item XXIII, of the Federal Constitution. In addition, the Federal Government's monopoly constitutes the research, mining, enrichment, reprocessing, industrialization, and trade of nuclear ores and minerals and their derivatives under Article 177th item V of the Federal Constitution.

 

Thus, according to the constitutional determination, only companies whose control is directly or indirectly owned by the Federal Government can exploit nuclear activities, as is the case of Eletronuclear.

 

26 
 

With Privatization, the control of Electronuclear will no longer be held by the Company, having been determined by Law No. 14,182/2021 and resolution CPPI 203 its transfer to the ownership of ENBPar.

 

To this end, CPPI Resolutions 203 and 221 approved certain adjustments and operations to be carried out about Eletronuclear, according to the items transcribed below from Article 11th of such Resolutions:

b) perform all acts of their competence to subscribe to new issues of Eletronuclear shares, to be determined by the studies it hired with BNDES, in proportion to its participation in the Electronuclear´s voting share capital;

 

XIII - conclusion, between ELETROBRAS and ENBPar, of an agreement of Eletronuclear shareholders to regulate the governance of this company, providing, at least:

 

a) the maintenance in the operation of the committee provided for in point "c" of item IX of the caput until the beginning of the commercial operations of the Angra 3 Thermonuclear Power Plant;

 

b) ENBPar's preference right over the disposal of eletronuclear shares held by Eletrobras; and

 

c) right of appointment, by ELETROBRAS, of the Chief Financial Officer of Eletronuclear;"

 

Taking this into account, Eletronuclear's management convened the general meeting of shareholders and special meeting of shareholders of Eletronuclear to deliberate on the adjustments that must be approved by the shareholders, as proposed by the management at Eletronuclear contained in Annex 12.A1.

 


1 To be prepared after completion of the proposal by Eletronuclear's management.

 

29 
 

The modeling approved by the CPPI and submitted to the Company provides that the acquisition of control by ENBPar will be implemented through a capital increase, to be carried out by Eletronuclear, with the issuance of new common shares, in the total amount of R$ 3,5 billion complemented by the execution of a program for the voluntary conversion of common shares into preferred shares. The Company will assign, free of charge, the entire right of preference in the subscription of such common shares to ENBPar, which will pay the capital increase using a contribution in the same amount, diluting the Company in the capital of Eletronuclear, to ensure that ENBPar becomes a controlling shareholder, with the ownership of more than half of Eletronuclear's voting share capital.

 

Eletronuclear will promote an optional conversion program of up to 124,541,409,099 (one hundred and twenty-four billion, five hundred and forty-one million, four hundred and nine thousand, ninety-nine) common shares in preferred shares, at the rate of 1 (one) common share to one 1 (one) preferred share, up to the limit that the amount of preferred shares is equal to the number of common shares. The Company shall join this program, covering the largest volume of common shares that are possible, respecting the applicable limit, already considering, for the calculation of this limit, both the capital increase mentioned above, as well as the additional capital increase, in the amounts described below.

 

In addition, it should be taken into account that the preferred shares issued by Eletronuclear entitle them to a minimum and cumulative dividends to their holders of 10% (ten percent) per year on the proportion of the share capital they represent, as well as voting rights limited to the deliberations of the extraordinary general meetings on the amendment of Eletronuclear´s Bylaws. However, considering that Eletronuclear has not been paying the minimum dividends, the limitations on the exercise of voting rights of preferred shares become suspended, which are now equivalent to common shares in terms of voting power, as established in paragraph 1st of Article 111th of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

 

To address the issue of outstanding dividends to holders of Eletronuclear preferred shares, it is necessary to pay the cumulative minimum priority dividends, whose updated projected value for the date of performance of the defined acts will be approximately R$ 2.7 billion. With this, the voting restrictions of preferred shares will be applied again, as established in the Bylaws of Eletronuclear. The funds will come from the payment of the issue price, in the same amount, to be allocated to the capital reserve account of Eletronuclear. Since the Company holds 99.85% (ninety-nine whole and eighty-five hundredths percent) of the preferred shares issued by Eletronuclear, almost all of the payment will be offset against the value of the dividends owed by Eletronuclear to the Company itself, leaving an effective disbursement of resources by the Company in the amount corresponding only to the portion of such dividends that will be paid to minority holders of preferred shares. To prevent preferred shares from having voting power again in the future, the Company's Bylaws will be changed, extinguishing the right to cumulative minimum priority dividends and maintaining only priority in the repayment of capital for preferred shares.

 

 

Due to the extinction of the rights to the aforementioned basic cumulative priority dividend of the preferred shares, the right to differentiated dividends conferred by common shares will be extinguished, which, under Eletronuclear's Bylaws, after the payment of the minimum dividends guaranteed to the preferred shares, they would receive dividends equivalent to 12% per year.

 

30 
 

Finally, Eletronuclear has a balance of advance for future capital increase already provided by the Company, approximately R$ 2.1 billion on September 30, 2021, and a balance to be released from new advance for a future capital increase of approximately R$ 1.4 billion (ECF 3387/20 Contract), on the same date, equivalent to the total provided by the Company for 2021 under the Critical Path Acceleration Plan of the Angra 3 Thermonuclear Power Plant, totalizing R$ 3.5 billion, which should be used for capital payment at Eletronuclear, in addition to the capital increase values mentioned above.

 

In short, Eletronuclear will issue new shares in the total amount of R$ 9.73 billion the current proportion between common shares and preferred shares of Eletronuclear. ENBPar will subscribe to the portion of R$ 3.5 billion in common shares only and the Company, the remaining portion.

 

If the matters submitted for deliberation by the general meeting and special meeting of Eletronuclear shareholders, as applicable, are approved and based on the assumption that ENBPar and the Company will subscribe, pay, and request the conversion of shares in the exact terms of the CPPI Resolutions, ENBPar will now have a majority of the voting share capital and, therefore, corporate control of Eletronuclear. If no other shareholder exercises his or her right to subscribe to shares and/or request the conversion of shares, with the approval of the resolutions submitted to the deliberation in the form of the CPPI Resolutions, the shares in the capital stock of Eletronuclear will be distributed according to the following table:

 

SHAREHOLDERS Common Preferred TOTAL % Common % TOTAL
Eletrobras 79,488,849,747 221,396,242,535 300,885,092,282 35.90% 67.95%
Depto de Águas E. Elétrica Est.SP – DAEE 5,960,026 7,405,548 13,365,574 0.00% 0.00%
LIGHT - Serviços de Eletricidade S.A. 0 5,058,993 5,058,993 0.00% 0.00%
ENBPar 141,916,224,437 0 141,916,224,437 64.10% 32.05%
Other 1,176,930 3,504,063 4,680,993 0.00% 0.00%
TOTAL 221,412,211,140 221,412,211,139 442,824,422,279 100% 100%

 

The issue price of common and preferred shares was calculated by BNDES, according to the criterion of the Company's profitability perspective, under Article 170th, paragraph 1st, the item I, of the Brazilian Corporations Law, detailing its calculation and justification of the economic aspects that determined the choice in Annex 9 to this proposal, in compliance with Article 170th, paragraph 7th, of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

 

 

 

With the celebration of the investment agreement (Annex 10) and shareholders' agreement (Annex 11) relating to Eletronuclear, as provided in the CPPI Resolutions 203 and 221, the Company and ENBPar will participate in capital contributions and the raising of new funding, as transmitters through mutuals for Eletronuclear and guarantors, for the Angra 3 Thermonuclear Power Plant, in proportion to their participation in Eletronuclear´s voting capital stock.

31 
 

 

It is important to clarify that the signature of the shareholders' agreement depends on approval by the Ministry of Economy.

 

In addition, a statutory committee will be composed for matters related to the planning and execution of the Angra 3 Thermonuclear Power Plant, operated by Eletronuclear (COANGRA), which will operate until the beginning of the Angra 3 commercial operation, to advise the Eletronuclear´s Board of Directors, including performing analytics and issuing a prior opinion on contracting goods, services, works, financing and guarantees linked to the project. Furthermore, the Company will be guaranteed the right to elect members in the main collegiate bodies of Eletronuclear.

 

The functioning of the committee must comply with the provisions of the corporate statute of Eletronuclear to be reformed (Annex 12), as well as its internal rules, to be approved by the Eletronuclear´s Board of Directors. The members of the committee will be elected and will have their total and individual remuneration determined by the Eletronuclear´s Board of Directors.

 

COANGRA will have its budget and directly linked to the Board of Directors, which will have as minimum attributions: (i) analysis and prior opinion on the contracts of goods, services, works, financing, and guarantees linked to the Angra 3 Project that are deliberative addressed by the Board of Directors; (ii) access to any documents, information and decisions of the management of ELETRONUCLEAR and the service providers contracted by ELETRONUCLEAR for the Angra 3 Project; (iii) periodic reports, at least monthly, to the Board of Directors of ELETRONUCLEAR on the status of COANGRA's work; (iv) monitoring of the specific Compliance Program for the Angra 3 Project; (v) monitor the physical and financial schedule linked to the Angra 3 Project; (vi) autonomy to request the Executive Board to hire specialists and consultants to support in the exercise of their duties, based on their budget.

 

The Parties shall make COANGRA composed of 5 (five) members, guaranteed the representative parity between ENBpar and ELETROBRAS, to be elected by the Board of Directors of Eletronuclear, and:

 

(i)       up to 2 (two) members will be appointed by ENBPar;

(ii)      up to 2 (two) members will be appointed by Eletrobras; and

(iii)     1 (one) member shall be external and independent and shall exercise the coordination function of COANGRA, chosen in common agreement between Eletrobras and ENBPar, in compliance with the independence requirements outlined in this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

 

In addition, the shareholders' agreement provides for the obligation of ENBpar and the Company to ensure that Eletronuclear has its Audit Committee, composed of five members elected by the Board of Directors, based on the investiture requirements provided for by law.

 

Shareholder and investment agreements will be signed before privatization and will only take effect after

32 
 

effective privatization.

 

Finally, it is worth mentioning the existence of the decommissioning financial fund (long-term extra market investment fund, maintained with Banco do Brasil), called BB Extramercado Exclusivo 30 Fundo de Investimento Multimercado Longo Prazo, whose ownership belongs to the Company, as defined by CNPE Resolution No. 08/2002, and whose resources aim to fund the decommissioning activities of the Angra 1 and Angra 2 Nuclear Thermonuclear Power Plants (“Power Plants”). Considering the context of the Company’s privatization, the ownership of the fund’s shares should be transferred to Eletronuclear, with the counterpart being offset against the Company’s transfer obligations to Eletronuclear of the funds associated with the fund.

 

The Decommissioning Fund was constituted on February 18, 2008, in the form of an open condominium, to defray future expenses with the decommissioning process of the Angra 1 and Angra 2 Thermonuclear Power Plants ("Power Plants"), after the closure of their respective operational activities.

 

From the entry into operation of the Power Plants until the establishment of the Fund in 2008, the costs incurred with the decommissioning were made by Eletronuclear in an accounting way (in the form of an obligation to demobilize assets, based on technical studies). At that time, there were no financial resources specifically constituted in a bank account or financial application.

 

On September 17, 2002, the National Energy Policy Council ("CNPE") determined, through Resolution No. 08 ("CNPE Resolution No. 08/2002"), that the activities of establishing and enabling a financial decommissioning fund to be assigned to Eletrobras, as the controller of Eletronuclear.

According to Article 5 of CNPE Resolution No. 08/2002:

 

"The Action Monitoring Group of ELETRONUCLEAR constituted under Article 5 of CNPE Resolution No. 5, of December 5, 2001, shall submit to the CNPE, in May 2003, a report on the progress of the measures related to the resumption of the Angra III project, with a view to the decision to continue the enterprise, verifying compliance with the above-mentioned articles, as well as the conditions listed below:

 

I - that ELETRONUCLEAR transfer resources, from the sale of electricity generated by the Angra I and Angra II power plants to ELETROBRÁS aiming at the formation of reserves to cover the expenses arising from the decommissioning² of these power plants, and ELETROBRÁS must apply these resources in the partial financing of the enterprise;”

 

 

 

 

 

2 The decommissioning of thermonuclear plants is the set of measures taken to safely remove a nuclear facility from service, reducing residual radioactivity to levels that allow the site to be released for restricted or unrestricted use.

 

 

Thus, from the publication of CNPE Resolution No. 08/2002, it became necessary to effectively provide resources in a specific bank account opened and managed by Eletrobras. On January 15, 2008, Eletrobras established the guidelines for the implementation of the financial fund, informing

33 
 

the current account for deposits, the collection dates and the amounts of the monthly quotas to be collected in 2008. Subsequently, the Fund was established on February 18, 2008, and on February 20, 2008, Eletronuclear began the payment process to Eletrobras for proper collection to the Fund.

 

Thus, the ownership of the Fund’s quotas belongs to Eletrobras, in compliance with the one defined by CNPE Resolution No. 08/2002. According to the Resolution, the fund’s financial resources are transferred by Eletronuclear to Eletrobras, from the sale of electricity generated by the Power Plants. The amount has as calculation basis the portion considered by the National Electric Energy Agency in the fixed revenue of the Power Plants.

 

However, although the Fund is owned by Eletrobras, the costs and reserves related to decommissioning (and which are subsequently invested in the Fund) are allocated to Eletronuclear, as can be extracted from Judgment 2707/2011 established by the 9th Secretariat of External Control – SECEX-9, a technical unit of the Federal Court of Auditors – TCU:

 

“To safeguard the composition of the financial fund for the decommissioning of the power plants, it is understood that the TCU should act on the issue, by its constitutional, legal, and regimental powers. However, since this survey proved to be sufficient to support the analysis of the issue and that the financial reserve for decommissioning, although contained in a bank account managed by Eletrobras, is the ownership of Eletronuclear itself, represented, including, in the financial statements of the entity itself, it is understood that it is not appropriate to propose a specific inspection (audit) on the subject." (our griffin).

 

Therefore, the existence and allocation of resources to the decommissioning fund are intrinsically related to Eletronuclear's activities, besides being Eletronuclear itself the company that will be responsible for the costs of eventual decommissioning of the Angra 1 and Angra 2 Thermonuclear Power Plants.

 

Considering that Eletronuclear will be kept under the indirect control of the Federal Government through ENBPar, it is necessary to transfer the shares of the Fund to Eletronuclear before privatization. The Fund will continue to receive the resources of Eletronuclear, which will become the holder of its quotas, with the maintenance of its purpose of decommissioning the future decommissioning of Eletronuclear Power Plants.

 

After the Privatization, Eletronuclear could not continue allocating its resources in the Fund owned by Eletrobras, which will cease to be its parent company and will also become a private company without attributions related to the maintenance of this Fund.

 

In this sense, Resolution CPPI 203, which established procedures for privatization, determined the transfer of ownership of the quotas of the Decommissioning Fund of Nuclear Power Plants, by Eletrobras to Eletronuclear, as below:

 

“Article 11. The following adjustments and conditions for privatization are approved, without prejudice to those already provided for in Law No. 14,182, 2021: (...)

XVI – transfer, by ELETROBRAS to Eletronuclear, of the ownership of the quotas of the Decommissioning Fund of nuclear power plants, provided for in Resolution No. 8 of September 17, 2002, of the National Council for Economic Policy – CNPE, with the compensation of the obligations of transfer of associated resources between companies; e”.

 

Thus, as Eletronuclear has a credit to the Company due to the transfer of the funds provided in the

34 
 

above-mentioned fund, and the updated value of such liability corresponds to the market value of the shares of the above-mentioned fund, the payment by the shares of the fund would be made by compensating the Company’s liabilities with the price to be paid by Eletronuclear.

 

Under Article 13 ICVM 555, as apart from Article 20 of the Fund’s Regulation, the assignment or transfer of shares of open funds (as is the case of the Fund) is permitted only in the following situations: a) judicial or arbitral decision; b) fiduciary assignment operations; c) execution of warranty; d) universal succession; e) dissolution of a conjugal society or stable Federal Government by judicial or public deed that provides for the sharing of property; and f) transfer of administration or portability of pension plans. The shares of closed funds, on the other hand, can be transferred using a term of assignment and transfer signed by the transferor and the transferee or using negotiation on an organized market in which the shares of the fund are admitted to trading.

 

Nevertheless, the situation on screen concerns the compliance by the Fund Administrator and the current quota holder with the determination of the CPPI in the use of its regulatory competence and complement the procedure of Privatization of Eletrobras, in which it does not conflict with Laws 9.491/1997 and 14.182/2021. As a result, it would not even be feasible to have the previous forecast in ICVM 555. This is because the transfer hypothesis presented here arises from the express command of the CPPI, whose direct foundation lies in a law approved by the National Congress and sanctioned by the President of the Republic. Therefore, in the context of privatization processes, a well-known phenomenon of Regulatory Law, delegification, is the case, so that the Law itself transfers the original legitimacy to the CPPI to establish additional conditions of privatization.

 

Given this exceptional situation, Eletrobras requested authorization from the CVM for the transfer of ownership of the Fund’s shares between Eletrobras and Eletronuclear, in compliance with the express provision of CPPI Resolution, which resulted from the standard provided for in Law 14,812, to allow the Fund’s administrator, BB Gestão de Recursos – Distribuidora de Títulos e Mobiliários S.A., take the necessary measures to transfer ownership of the quotas, including through the competent amendment of the Fund’s regulation.

 

On December 9, 2021, CVM agreed with the Company’s understanding, through Letter 125/2021/CVM/SIN (Annex 13). Annex 14 contains, highlighted, the detailed description of the transfer of the Fund, as well as the management’s recommendation on such restructuring, as set out in Article 8 of CVM Instruction 481.

 

The DFP Technical Note 004/2022 integrates this proposal as Annex 15 and Annex 16 containing, highlighted, the detailed description of the restructuring involving Eletronuclear, as well as the management’s recommendation on such restructuring, as set out in Article 8 of CVM Instruction 481.

According to the guidelines of Law No. 14,182/2021, the CNPE Resolution No. 30/2021 established in R$67,052,502,399.86 (sixty-seven billions, fifty-two million, five hundred and two thousand, three hundred and ninety-nine reais and eighty-six cents) the value added by the new contracts for the concession of electricity generation conditional on the granting of new concession contracts, and set at R$25,379,079,917.76 (twenty-five Billion, three hundred and seventy-nine thousand, seventy-nine thousand, nine hundred and seventeen reais and seventy-six cents) the amount to be paid by the Company or its bonus subsidiaries for the granting of new contracts for the generation of electricity, as

 

³ Power considered in the calculation of the physical energy guarantee defined in MME Ordinance No. 544 of August 30, 2021.

 

established by Law No. 14,182/2021, and R$32,073,001,926.43 (thirty-two billion, seventy-three million, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six reais and forty-three cents) the amount to be paid by the Company or its subsidiaries to the Energy Development Account (CDE).

38 
 

 

According art. 3 B, the CNPE Resolution No. 30/2021 may be reviewed, depending on the competence of the merits of the TC 008.845/2018-2 case, by the Federal Court of Auditors (TCU), in the deliberation that the Plenary will make, according to Decision No. 3176/2021 - TCU - Plenary.

 

Pursuant to Article 5 of Law No. 14,182/2021 and CNPE Resolution No. 30/2021, the said value added by these new contracts for the concession of electricity generation considered: (i) the change of the operating regime for independent production; (ii) the deduction of R$2,906,498,547.37 (two billion, nine hundred and six million, four hundred and ninety-eight thousand, five hundred and forty-seven reais and thirty-seven cents) of the credits related to reimbursement for the expenses proven with the purchase of fuel, incurred until June 30, 2017, by the concessionaires that were controlled by the Company and holders of the concessions covered by Article 4-A of Law No. 12.111/2009, have been proven, but not reimbursed, by account of the requirements of economic and energy efficiency, monetary updates (therefore, the established legal limit of R$3,500,000,000.00 (three billion and five hundred million reais)); and (iii) the decontracting of electricity contracted in accordance with article 1st of Law No. 12,783/2013, gradually and uniformly, within five (five) years (20% (twenty percent) per year starting on January 1, 2023), with the exception of the Tucuruí, Curuá-Una and Mascarenhas hydroelectric power plants, with energy availability from the signing of new concession contracts.

 

Eletrobras hired an independent consultancy, Upside Corporate Finance Ltda ("Upside" or "Consulting"), Contract No. ECE-DSS-4588/2021, for the provision of specialized services, to support the decision of senior management, through a specific study, regarding the value of the grant in the privatization process related to the change of the modality of contracting quota to the independent producer of the 22 power plants, using, for this purpose, Economic and financial modeling, premises and methodologies specific to the Upside, approved by the Company through Resolution 660 of October 20, 2021.

 

The drafts of the new concession agreements to be concluded by the Company and its subsidiaries are set out in Annex 21. This proposal also includes the Technical Notes DFPA 017/2021 and DFP 002/2022, as Annex 22, and the analysis of the Generation Board, the Transmission Board, and the Governance, Risks and Compliance Board, in Annex 23, constituted by DGDR Technical Notes No. 005/2021, of October 7, 2021; NT DGDR No. 006/2021, of December 23, 2021, NT DGC Analysis Marketing Methodology, of October 15, 2021; NT DGC Marketing Analysis - Revision 1 of December 30, 2021, NT DGE No. 008/2021, NT DGE No. 009/2021, NT-DT-002-2021 - Transmission Limits Grant, NT DCR 008/2021 and NT DCR 009/2021. Also, the following reports of the Upside Consultancy are composed in Annex 23, which gave the basis for the analysis carried out by the specialized areas of Eletrobras whose Technical Notes are in Annex 22 and Annex 23: (1) Economic-Financial Study Report - Calculation of the Value of the Grant, version 01.25 (Detailed Report of Methodology, Assumptions and Risk Factors) and Economic-Financial Study - Calculation of the Value of the Consultancy Grant Upside, (2)Complete report with the results and details of the premises and methodologies used for the elaboration of the economic-financial model of the Consultancy Upside and (3) Complete final report with the data sent by CNPE to define the added value of the grants with the Vantajosity Analysis of the Upside Consultancy. Annex 24 also contains the detailed description of the concession contracts, as well as the recommendation of the administration regarding their conclusion, as set out in article 8 of CVM Instruction 481. Emphasize the fact that the Economic-Financial Study Report - Calculation of the Grant Value, version 01.25 (Detailed

39 
 

Report of Methodology, Assumptions and Risk Factors) and Economic-Financial Study - Calculation of the Value of the Consultancy Grant Upside which is included in Annex 23 as well as the Technical Notes of analysis of this carried out by the specialist areas of Eletrobras were approved by the Executive Board of Eletrobras at its 3,021st Meeting, which occurred on October 20, 2021, characterized by Resolution RES-660/2021 which is also part of Annex 23.

 

The consulting study includes a series of scenarios simulating possible alternatives of assumptions that combine demand growth rates, penetration of new sources of electricity (gas thermal, solar, wind, etc.), and perspectives of the evolution of the cost of production, in addition to reducing the Physical Guarantees of hydroelectric power plants motivated by the impacts of climate exchange on available water resources.

 

In the study of the consultancy, a "Base Case" was composed, which, by the study of the Consultancy, would be the most likely to occur. Thus, depending on the level of risk-taking, to be assumed by the Company, future cash flows with values higher than those projected in the "Base Case" could be observed. The analysis of the Consultancy also contemplated in the various alternative scenarios, the risk assessment associated with the alteration of variables determined as critical, described below, which are configured either as threats or as opportunities. It should be emphasized that a mathematical model was constituted to capture all the premises of the electricity/energy sector as it is regulated today. Some premises that are empirically based on the capture of perceptions, a mathematical model would have difficulty reproducing. Hence the need for modeling to be composed of a "Base Case" and a broad set of sensitivities arising from variations in the premises that make up the pillars of the study. Threat points and opportunities can support the Company's Management in risk monitoring and decision making.

 

Based on the results presented in the study, the UPSIDE, of a total of 14 scenarios that represent the simulated "Base Case" and 13 sensitivities where the critical variables of the study are altered, among all the scenarios studied, the added value proposed in CNPE 30/2021 is found in the simulated sensitivity envelos.

 

In the studies of the Consultancy, the results associated with the "Base Case", in which the value determined for Grant was R$ 64,357 billion, was about 4% lower than that determined by CNPE Resolution 30/2021, equivalent to R$ 67,053 billion. However, the evaluation should also consider the set of results sensitized to the changes in the premises considered in the modeling. However, other levers should be considered in the analysis, mentioned in Technical Note DC 001/2022 - Global Analysis of the Privatization Operation from the perspective of transactions with related parties.

 

 

 

 

Item 3 of the Agenda - Cepel

 

How as a consequence of the first oil crisis, the Federal Government formulated a new policy for the expansion of the energy sector in the country, which provided, among other measures, the creation of

40 
 

a research center focused on the technological development of the sector, the Center for Electric Energy Research ("Cepel").

 

How to condition to privatization, Law No. 14,182/2021 established that the associative contributions currently paid by the Company to Cepel, continue to be paid by the Company for 6 (six) years from the date of privatization.

 

It should be clarified that the base year (2019) used by Law 14.182/2021 already represents a 5% investment fall in CEPEL when compared to previous years. This updated 2019 figure is R$ 231.2 million, which is the amount of the contribution for the year 2022. The note technique DT 001/22 (Annex 26) the aspects are inherent in such a contribution.

 

Item 4 of the Agenda - Revitalization projects and structural cost reduction

 

As established in Law No. 14,182/2021, the Management submits to the approval of the Company's shareholders the authorization for the Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, to develop the projects that will compose the following programs:

 

a.revitalization of water resources in the São Francisco River and Parnaíba river basins, directly by the Company or, indirectly, through its subsidiary Companhia Hidrelétrica do São Francisco (Chesf) or Brazilian army units;

 

b.structural reduction of energy generation costs in the Legal Amazon and for the navigability of the Madeira River and the Tocantins River, directly by the Company or, indirectly, through its subsidiary Eletronorte; and

 

c.revitalization of the water resources of the river basins, defined according to item V of the Caput article 1 of Law No. 9,433 of January 8, 1997, in the area of influence of the reservoirs of furnas hydroelectric power plants, whose concession contracts are affected by Law No. 14,182/2021, directly by the Company or, indirectly, through its subsidiary Furnas.

 

The drafts of the new concession agreements to be concluded by the Company and its subsidiaries and copies of which are contained in the Annex 21 conditions and obligations relating to the commitment to the development of such projects. In addition, the detailed description of the concession contracts as well as the management's recommendation on their conclusion can be found in Annex 19 – PR-005/2021 (Transition of management of eletrobras' government programs to ENBpar).

 

 

 

 

Assumption of the Company's subsidiary responsibility for certain programs

 

As established in Law No. 14,182/2021, the Management submits to the approval of the Company's shareholders the authorization for the Company to take subsidiary responsibility for compliance with the

41 
 

programs established in articles 6, 7and 8 of Law No. 14,182/2021, which cover the programs for revitalization and structural reduction of costs mentioned in the above item, as well as the obligation to provide resources related to such programs, as detailed in said Law, which is set out in Annex 01.

 

Items 5 and 6 of the Agenda - Public Offering and delegation of powers to the Board of Directors

 

As mentioned above, Law No. 14,182/2021 determined that the privatization will be implemented in the form of an increase in the Company's capital, through the public subscription of new common shares issued by the Company ("Primary Offer"), may be accompanied by the disposal of shares issued by the Company held by the Federal Government, or a company controlled by it, directly or indirectly, through a secondary public offering of shares ("Secondary Offer" and, together with the Primary Offering, the "Bid").

 

If the Primary Offering is not sufficient to dilute the direct and indirect participation of the Federal Government by a percentage equal to or less than 45% (forty-five percent) of the Company's voting capital, the Secondary Offer will be made.

 

Under CPPI Resolutions, the Primary Offering shall cover a number of common shares representing the amount to be paid by the Company or its bonus subsidiaries for the granting of new concession contracts for the generation of electricity, as provided for in article 4, Caput, item II, in Law 14,182/2021, provided that this amount is greater than R$ 22,057,564,316.99 and less than R$ 26,648,033,913.65, considered the average closing price of common shares in the 15 (fifteen) days preceding the date of availability of the preliminary prospectus to the general public.

 

To determine the price of the shares to be distributed in the Offer, a procedure of bookbuilding, organized by the Offer Coordinators, through which different institutional investors are accessed to determine the demand for the Offer and the price per share to be offered.

 

At the end of the bookbuilding, the coordinators will propose to the Company, the CPPI, and the selling shareholders (i.e., the Federal Government and, if any, its related parties), if any, the final value per share, based on the market price of the share and the indications of interest according to the quality and quantity of demand (by volume and price) for the shares, collected from investors.

 

The President of the CPPI will practice, using a resolution ad referendum, the following acts:

 

I - setting the minimum price of the share equivalent to the average of the prices found by the independent economic and financial evaluations contracted by BNDES;

 

II - resolution on the exercise of the option of increasing the number of shares offered, through the issuance or disposal of additional shares, under paragraph 2 of article 14 of the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission Instruction No. 400, 2003, in the event of an excess of demand; and

 

III - approval of the share price resulting from the bookbuilding.

42 
 

 

The Offer will be canceled if the issue price per share arising from the bookbuilding, to be decided by the Board of Directors of Eletrobras, is lower than the minimum price approved by the CPPI.

 

The number of shares in the Bid Global Public can be increased by up to 35% (thirty-five percent) about the amount initially offered as Documents the Bid Global Public, being:

 

I - up to fifteen percent "Supplementary Lot Shares", under article 24 of CVM Instruction No. 400 of December 29, 2003, with purpose exclusive stabilization of stock prices; and

 

II- up to twenty percent "Additional Shares", under paragraph 2 of article 14 of CVM Instruction No. 400 of 2003, case checked one excess demand.

 

Thus, the agenda is intended to authorize the Board of Directors to approve the Primary Offering, within the limits of the authorized capital to be created, according to a matter that will also be detailed below and observe the price per share to be defined by the CPPI.

 

In any case, it is a condition for the Offer that the whole transaction is approved by the Brazilian Federal Court of Accounts, which has not yet occurred.

 

Technical note DFF/DFP 008/21 deals with the amount of the capital increase (Annex 27).

 

Items 7 and 8 of the Agenda - Pre-Offer Statute Reform

 

The resolutions proposed in items 7 and 8 of the agenda aim to enable the Company's Board of Directors to approve the issuance of shares of the Company and approve its price, to make the Primary Offer in the context of the Company's privatization.

 

Although not required by law, the establishment of authorized capital is the most practical and usual procedure for public issues of shares. With the creation of authorized capital, the Board of Directors may approve the necessary increase in the Company's share capital and issue of the shares to be offered in the Primary Offering, without the need for a new shareholders' meeting of the Company. Thus, agility is given for this issue, in addition to dispensing with the necessary costs for the organization of a new general meeting; without, on the other hand, shareholders fail to approve the respective matter, since the shareholders would be approving the creation of the Company's authorized capital already aware that part of it will be used for the Primary Offering.

 

Furthermore, the exclusion of the right of preference, established in article 171 of the Brazilian Corporations Law, is usual in proceedings for the issuance of shares for public distribution, being fully permitted under article 172 of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

 

 

The CPPI Resolution provides for the priority of subscription of Eletrobras shareholders (excluding the Federal Government and entities under its control) in place of the right of preference.

43 
 

 

This proposal includes Annex 28 containing the amendments to the Bylaws object to the agenda, as well as their origin and justification, with the analysis of their legal and economic effects, as established in article 11 of CVM Instruction 481. It also follows the company's consolidated bylaws, with the changes highlighted in Annex 29. Annex 30 contains the information provided in article 14 of CVM Instruction 481, and Annex 31, the statement of the Fiscal Council on authorized capital.

 

It is important to clarify that the reform of bylaws depends on approval by the Secretariat for Coordination and Governance of State-Owned Companies - SEST linked to the Ministry of Economy.

 

The creation of authorized capital and exclusion of the right of preference will have an immediate effect, even before the Offer, because they seek precisely to enable its realization. The other statutory changes, to be detailed below, will be effective only after the privatization and, therefore, are being included within article 70 of the Bylaws, as they are effective.

 

Items 9 and 10 of the Agenda - Statutory Changes Post Offer

 

Creation of restrictions on voting rights and conclusion of shareholders' agreements

 

Law No. 14,182/2021 and the CPPI Resolutions determined, as a condition of the privatization, that the Company's Bylaws be modified to include provisions limiting the voting rights of the Company's shareholders so that no shareholder or group of shareholders can cast votes in more than 10% (ten percent) of the total number of shares in which the Company's voting capital is divided.

 

In addition, it is a condition of the privatization that the conclusion of shareholders' agreement for the exercise of voting rights is denationalized by the Company's Bylaws, except for the formation of blocks with a number of votes below the aforementioned limit.

 

Such changes, if approved, will result in a significant disincentive for the concentration of the Company's common shares, since even if a shareholder or group of shareholders owns more than 10% (ten percent) of the Company's voting share capital, the number of votes cast by such group will be limited to 10% (ten percent) of the voting share capital.

 

The limitation in question shall apply not only to ordinary shares but also to the Company's preferred shares exclusively in the event of the acquisition of voting rights due to the possible non-payment of minimum dividends as provided for in article 111, §1, of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

 

Law No. 14,182/2021 did not determine, however, which should be understood as a "group of shareholders", with the Company's Management prepared a definition proposal, as set out in the agenda.

 

Thus, it is proposed to consider members of a "group of shareholders" the other companies that a given shareholder controls, which control a given shareholder or that are under the common control of such shareholder, based on the concept of control defined in article 116 of the Brazilian Corporations Law. The Draft Statute also proposes that certain other circumstances specified therein may cause

44 
 

shareholders to be considered as members of a group since such shareholders have interests and tend to exercise votes jointly.

 

Furthermore, to ensure compliance with these limitations, it was proposed that the shareholders keep the Company informed about its belonging to a group of shareholders, if such group of shareholders holds, in total, shares representing 10% (ten percent) or more of the Company's voting capital. In addition, members of the shareholders' meeting board shall ask shareholders for documents and information as they see themselves as necessary to verify the possible belonging of a shareholder to a group of shareholders who may hold 10% (ten percent) or more of the Company's voting capital.

 

Creation of golden share

 

The creation of special class preferred action (Golden Share) was imposed as a condition for privatization by Law No. 14,182/2021. Such creation shall take place through the conversion of one (1) class B preferred share of Federal Government ownership into a special class preferred share, the latter being subscribed by the Federal Government.

 

If approved, such deliberations shall result in the establishment of a right of veto by the Federal Government in deliberations wishing to remove or modify limitations on the exercise of the right to vote and the conclusion of a shareholders' agreement referred to above.

 

The creation of such a special class preferred share and the exercise of its right of veto, by agenda, aims to hinder the modification of the governance conditions imposed by Law No. 14,182/2021 for the realization of the privatization, keeping the Company as a corporation with no defined controller or true corporation in the English expression.

 

Annex 32 is included in this proposal, containing the reasons, rights, advantages, and restrictions, as well as the analysis of the impact of the creation of the preferred special class action, as set out in article 17 of CVM Instruction 481.

 

Consequently, the Company considers that the creation of the Golden Share does not cause any loss of property to the other shareholders of the Company, whether they hold preferred shares or common shares, since no right to such shares is limited or reduced as a result of the creation of the Golden Share. In addition, as already explained, the Golden Share does not confer any differentiated economic right on the Federal Government, nor any right that would otherwise damage the other shareholders.

 

Creation of Poison pill

 

The resolution described in the item about the agenda aims to create mechanisms for desolating the concentration of shares of the Company, usually called "Poison pill", obliging a shareholder or group of shareholders that exceeds certain levels of common shares to offer the acquisition of all common shares held by the other shareholders, through a public offering. Such an acquisition would occur at a price that represents a disincentive for the concentration of shares.

Considering that there is already, today, a controlling group in the Company, which will no longer be so with the Offer, the CPPI Resolution establishes 2 (two) distinct levels of poison pills; thus, the acquisition of a majority stake (more than 50% (fifty percent) of the Company's voting capital) and relevant minority interests (more than 30% (thirty percent) of the Company's voting capital are discouraged.

 

Furthermore, the CPPI Resolution establishes a healing period, comprising time reasonably necessary for a shareholder (or group of shareholders) who has exceeded these levels to dispose of shares in order not to be obliged to make the public offer to acquire shares.

 

It is important to mention that the proposed wording intentionally uses the verb "to exceed", so that the Federal Government and the companies that make up its group of shareholders, although immediately after the public offer that will lead to the privatization of the Company, still hold a stake of more than 30% (thirty percent) of the Company's voting capital, would not need to make a public offer for the acquisition of shares; unless, in the future, they will reduce their participation to a lower level and, later, will again exceed this level, a hypothesis in which they would have to make a public offer as a result of the Poison pill.

 

Change of provisions of the Bylaws relating to the mixed-economy company

 

With the privatization, several provisions of the Company's Bylaws must be modified to make it compatible with the modification of governance, activities, and norms applicable to the Company after the privatization and to remove rules and activities typical of state-owned enterprises and a mixed economy of the Bylaws.

 

Renumbering of Social Statute provisions

 

Once the changes to the Bylaws are the subject of the agenda have been approved, it will be necessary to renumber certain provisions of the Company's Bylaws, as detailed in item 10 of the agenda.

 

According to mentioned above, integrates this proposal is Annex 28 containing the rationale, rights, advantages, and restrictions, as well as Annex 29 with the Bylaws of Eletrobras consolidated with the proposed amendments.

 

Item 11 of the Agenda - Suspensive condition regarding the settlement of the Offer

 

Law No. 14,182/2021 and/or CPPI Resolutions provide that the acts resulting from the approval of items 1 and 2 of the agenda should be subject to the implementation of privatization. As the implementation of the privatization is consolidated through the settlement of the Offer, such settlement should be understood as the condition in question.

 

As a result, the effectiveness of deliberations contained in items 1 to 10 of the agenda shall be subject to the suspensive condition of the settlement of the Offer, under article 125 of Law No. 10,406/2002 (Brazilian Civil Code) and §2 of article 3 of Law No. 14,182/2021.
