This document may contain estimates and forecasts that are not statements of fact that occurred in the past but reflect our management beliefs and expectations and may constitute future events' forecasts and estimates under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "believe", "may", "estimate", "continue", "anticipate", "intend", "expect" and related words are intended to identify estimates that necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, known or unknown . Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: general economic, regulatory, political and commercial conditions in Brazil and abroad, changes in interest rates, inflation and value of the Real, changes in volumes and the pattern of use of electricity by consumer, competitive conditions, our level of indebtedness, the possibility of receiving payments related to our receivables, changes in rainfall and water levels in the reservoirs used to operate our hydroelectric plants, our financing and capital investment plans, existing and future government regulations , and other risks described in our annual report and other documents filed with CVM and SEC. Estimates and forecasts refer only to the date they were expressed and we assume no obligation to update any of these estimates or forecasts due to the occurrence of new information or future events. Future results of the Company's operations and initiatives may differ from current expectations and the investor should not rely solely on the information contained herein. This material contains calculations that may not reflect accurate results due to rounding.

Object of the Agreement

Formalization of additional instruments to the Debts and Guarantees contracts provided within the Financing Structure of SPE SAESA, in order to reflect the change in the corporate structure of SPE Madeira Energia S/A (MESA) resulting from the recent increase, on 06/07/2022 , from Furnas' shareholding to 72.36% in this company.

The scope of this Notice includes the amendments to the contracts in which the Company is the Guarantor of SAESA's operations, as listed below:

(i) 11th Amendment to the Financing Agreement by Opening Credit No. 08.2.1120.1 (BNDES Direct);

(ii) 6th Amendment to Contract No. 12.2.1307.1 (Supplementary Direct BNDES);

(iii) 11th Amendment to the Credit Opening Agreement for Financing Through Onlending No. 01/2009 (BNDES Onlending);

(iv) 6th Amendment to the Credit Opening Agreement for Financing Through Supplementary Onlending No. 01/2013 (BNDES Supplemental Onlending);

(v) 7th Amendment to the Financing Agreement with resources from the Constitutional Financing Fund of the North – _FNO;

(vi) 3rd Amendment to the Private Guarantee Agreement for the 2nd (Second) issuance of SAESA debentures;

(vii) 3rd Amendment to the Private Guarantee Agreement for the 3rd (Third) issuance of SAESA debentures.

Main Terms and Conditions

The execution of the amendments reflects, within the scope of the contracts, the occurrence of a change in the shareholding structure of SPE MESA, with Furnas being responsible for an increase in the shareholding from 43.055% to 72.36%.

In this case, the contractual terms and conditions that are impacted through these amendments concern:

1) Contractual obligations: Reflect the new proportionality of shareholdings, with Furnas now responsible for 72.36% of the Obligations attributed to the Intervening Parties/Shareholders;

2) Guarantees/Guarantees: Implying the adjustment of the percentage of the outstanding balance of SAESA's contracts guaranteed by Eletrobras from 43.055% to 72.36%.

If only the debit balance guaranteed by Eletrobras Holding in these contracts is taken as a reference, according to the Financial Statements for the 3rd quarter of 2022 (R$ 6.44 billion), which also reflects the percentage of 43.055%, the execution of the amendments will formalize the increase in the balance directly guaranteed by the Company in the amount of R$4.39 billion, reaching an amount of R$10.83 billion.

The amendments are not intended to change any other terms and conditions of the contracts, such as terms, financial conditions, among others.

Detailed reasons why the Company's Management considers that the transaction observed commutative conditions or provides for adequate compensatory payment

This process is a natural consequence of the recent increase in Furnas' equity interest in SPE MESA to 72.36%, with no assumption of any Guarantees and/or Obligations (by Eletrobras or Furnas) in amounts exceeding the current participation of the Eletrobras Subsidiary in the project .

In addition, the formalization of the Obligations and Guarantees under the terms of Furnas' new shareholding complies with an obligation already established in the scope of the debt contracts, thus maintaining the performance of such contracts with its creditors, which is essential both for the SPE as debtor, as well as for its shareholder Furnas, and Eletrobras as guarantor.

Eventual participation of the counterparty, its partners or administrators in the decision process of the issuer's subsidiary regarding the transaction or the negotiation of the transaction as representatives of the Company, describing these interests.

The execution of the amendments occurs exclusively due to the need for contractual formalizations in the debt instruments of SPE SAESA arising directly from the increase that has already occurred (on 06/07/2022) of Furnas' equity interest in SPE MESA, which was duly communicated to the Market by the Company upon its completion.

In any case, the decision to effectively execute the amendments emanates from a decision-making rite duly processed in the appropriate Governance levels of each Related Party.
