| Page 4 |
| --- |
· Official ID card with photo;
· The latest corporate document (bylaws or articles of association), in the case of a legal entity;
· Power of attorney granted by shareholder;
Considering the situation that has been reported about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing restrictions on the circulation and gathering of people, the meeting will be held exclusively in digital manner, which is why the shareholder participation can only be:
(a) through Voting Ballot, with detailed instructions on the documentation required for remote voting are contained in the Ballot that can be accessed on the websites mentioned above; and
(b) through the Digital Platform, in person or by a proxy duly constituted under the terms of article 21-C, §§2 and 3 of IN CVM 481, in which case the shareholder may: (i) simply participate in the EGM, whether or not he has sent the Voting Ballot; or (ii) participate and vote in the EGM, noting that as for the shareholder who has already sent the Voting Ballot and that, if he wishes, votes in the Meeting by the Digital Platform, all voting instructions received through the Voting Ballot will be disregarded.
Shareholders wishing to participate in the EGM via the Digital Platform must access the Company's website, at http://www.eletrobras.com/AssembleiaVirtual and complete its registration, and after confirming the registration and receiving the registration password, attach all documents required to qualify for participation and/or vote in the EGM, at least 2 (two) days in advance of the date designated for the EGM, that is, until August 31, 2020. The following documents shareholders will be required to qualify and participate and/or vote in the EGM via the Digital Platform: (a) if a natural person, copy of the identification document, legally recognized as such, with a recent photo and national validity, within the validity period, if applicable, or, in the case of being represented by an attorney, a copy of the power of attorney signed with less than 1 (one) year, together with the official identity document with photo of the attorney, and such attorney must be another shareholder or lawyer regularly registered with the Brazilian Lawyers Association; or (b) if a legal entity, (i) updated constitutive acts of the shareholder and the act that invests the representative (s) with sufficient powers for representation within the EGM, duly registered with the competent bodies, together with the official document photo ID of the representative(s); (ii) if necessary, a power of attorney duly granted under the terms of the law and/or the constituent acts of the shareholder, together with the official identity document with a photo of the attorney.
After sending all supporting documents, the shareholder or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, will receive an invitation with an individual password to access the Digital Platform. Pursuant to article 5, paragraph 3 of CVM Instruction 481, access to the Digital Platform will not be allowed to shareholders who do not present the necessary participation documents within the term provided herein and as detailed in the Management Proposal.
The Company clarifies that, exceptionally for this EGM, it will dispense the need to send the physical copies of the shareholder representation documents to its office, as well as the signature of the grantor in the power of attorney to represent the shareholder, notarization, consularization, the apostille and 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 attorneys granted by shareholders by electronic means containing digital certification that is within the standards of the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure or by other means of proving the authorship and integrity of the document in electronic form.

Detailed information on the rules and procedures for participation and/or remote 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 (www.eletrobras.com/ri). Guidelines on access to the Digital Platform and rules of conduct to be adopted at the EGM will be sent to each shareholder together with an invitation with an individual password to access the Digital Platform.
The Company's decision to hold the EGM exclusively digital, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 2, item I and article 21-C, paragraph 2 and 3 of ICVM 481, was due to the extraordinary context that the country is going through and the rest of the world, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the transit of people 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 EGM. Through this decision, the Company reiterates its commitment to the adoption of measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 and to the safety of its shareholders and employees and the communities in 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 (www.eletrobras.com/ir), Brazillinan Securities Commission - CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (www.b3.com.br), to the entire documentation related to the business which shall be addressed at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting, under the terms of the Brazilian Corporations Law CVM Instruction 481.

Distance Voting
Pursuant to the authority provided in CVM Instruction 481, Eletrobras will make available to the Extraordinary General Meeting the possibility of participation at a distance through the Distance Voting Ballot ("Voting Ballot"), whose model was made available on the websites of the Company (www.eletrobras.com/ir), the CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 (www.b3.com.br).
In order to participate in the EGM in this modality, the shareholders of the Company shall fill in the proper 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 held by them (“Custody Agent”), provided that he is apt to receive the Voting Ballot pursuant to CVM Instruction 481; or, also, (iii) directly to the Company.
In this sense, Eletrobras informs that the Bookkeeping Agent of its shares, namely, Banco Bradesco S.A. ("Bookkeeping Agent"), under the terms of an agreement entered into with the Company, will receive the Company's network of bank branches spread throughout the national territory, observing the procedures established by the Bookkeeping Agent. Shareholders or their representatives should appear at any bank branch of the Bookkeeping Agent, with a valid original document with a photo and, in the case of shareholders considered legal entities and/or represented by a proxy, the competent proxy documents should be presented, in addition to the Voting Ballot.
In addition to this, it is noteworthy that in accordance with CVM Instruction 481, custody agents may, but are not required to receive the Voting Ballots of the Company's shareholders. For this reason, the shareholders should check with the respective Custody Agent if it will provide such service, as well as its costs and procedures. In case the Custody Agent opts to receive the Voting Ballots, the shareholders of the Company may also, at their exclusive discretion, send the Voting Ballot directly to such agents.
Also, pursuant to CVM Instruction 481, shareholders who so wish may also forward the Voting Ballot directly to the Company and, in this case, should observe by the following rules:
| (i) | Considering the situation<br>that has been reported about the COVID-19 (“coronavirus”) pandemic in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing<br>restrictions on the circulation and gathering of people, which affects the activities carried out in person by the Company's employees,<br>the Voting Bulletin will only be received when sent by e-mail, to the following email address: ombudsman-ri@eletrobras.com. Thus,<br>being, exceptionally for this EGM, the Company will not require the sending of the originals to the Company; |
|---|---|
| (ii) | The Voting Ballot shall<br>contain the place, date and signature of the requesting shareholder. In case the shareholder is considered a legal entity in accordance<br>with the Brazilian legislation, the signature shall be of its legal representative, or attorney-in-fact with powers for this type<br>of act; |
| --- | --- |
(iii) The Voting Ballot sent directly to the Company should be accompanied by documentation attesting to the capacity of the shareholder or legal representative of the shareholder acting as the signatory, observing, for this reason, the requirements and formalities referred to in item 1.3 above.
| Page 11 |
| --- |
The Voting Ballot that is sent directlyto the Company and is unaccompanied by the documentation necessary to prove the condition of shareholder, or to prove its representationwill not be considered valid, and, as a consequence, will not be processed by the Company. However it may be, corrected and resubmittedby the shareholder to the Company, observing the terms and procedures established in CVM Instruction 481.
The Voting Ballot received by the BookkeepingAgent, the Custodian Agent (as the case may be) and/or by the Company up to 7 (seven) days prior to the date of the General Meetingpursuant to art. 21-B of CVM Instruction 481. The Voting Ballot that is delivered after this deadline will be considered invalidand will not be processed by the Company.
After the expiration of the periodabove, if there remain unfilled items of the Voting Ballots presented, the Company informs that it will consider them as an instructionequivalent to abstaining from voting connected to such matters.

The participation percentages indicated above correspond to 100% of Eletrobras’ shareholding position in the aforementioned SPE’s. Thus, Eletrobras will be divesting all of its participation in said SPE’s.
| 2.3 | Historic |
|---|
The PDNG Business and Management Master Plan 2017-2021, approved by the Eletrobras Board of Directors, established three strategic pillars to be implemented at Eletrobras and the subsidiaries Furnas, Chesf, Eletrosul and Eletronorte, namely: i) Governance and Conformity; ii) Financial Discipline and iii) Operational Excellence, and also started the elaboration of the Eletrobras System Divestment Program.
The “Financial Discipline” pillar comprises the following initiatives:
| Page 12 |
| --- |
• Reduction of investments;
• Privatization of distributors;
• Sale of administrative properties;
• Sale of stakes in SPE;
• Tax optimization; and
• Corporate restructuring to take advantage of tax credit.
In the PDNG planning cycle 2018-2022, approved by the Company's Board of Directors, the strategic pillars were expanded with the inclusion of the “Sustainable Actions” and “Valuing People” pillars.
In relation to the theme “Financial Discipline”, there is a forecast of sale of the non-strategic companies held by Eletrobras Companies in Special Purpose Entities (“SPE”), maintained in the annual reviews of the subsequent planning cycles PDNG 2019-2023 and PDNG 2020 -2024, the latter being the current one.
With the sale of stakes in non-strategic SPEs, the Company's Management aims to improve the indebtedness indicators, in view of the tightening credit situation and the need to preserve liquidity in the company.
To carry out the sale of its stakes in SPEs, the Company prepared economic and legal feasibility studies that supported the operation and corroborate the understanding of its Managers that its completion will provide an improvement in the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, which will be briefly described in this Management Proposal.
| 2.4 | Sale Modeling |
|---|
On September 27, 2018, Eletrobras held a public auction (Auction No. 01/2018) conducted by B3 S / A - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) for the sale of 71 equity interests in Special Purpose Entities ( SPEs) made available for sale in 18 lots. Of the 71 SPEs put up for sale, 26 were sold, in 11 different lots.
Considering that the said event was not successful in divesting Eletrobras' interests in some companies, in particular in SPEs Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding, Hermenegildo I, Hermegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX, the then Business and Management Master Plan (PDNG ) 2019-2023, continuing the divestment process, set the goal of completing the divestment program by divesting over 39 SPEs grouped into six lots, with Lot 1 referring to Eletrobras' participation in the SPE Santa Vitória do Palmar and the Lot 2 referring to Eletrobras' participation in the SPEs Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX.
This time, the Board of Directors of Eletrobras (“CA”), on March 28, 2019, decided that the sale of Eletrobras' shareholdings in the remaining SPEs should be carried out under the terms of Decree No. 9,188 / 2017.
Said Decree establishes rules of governance, transparency and good market practices for the adoption of a special divestment regime, based on the provisions of article 29 of Law 13.303 / 16.
It is mentioned, as relevant, that Decree 9.188 / 17 was published on 11.01.2017, when the work for the Eletrobras Auction on 01/2018 was already underway but, on the other hand, there was, at that moment, no experience Enough implementation of the new decree in the process of divestment, which is why Eletrobras chose, at the time, to follow the provisions of article 28 of Law 13.303/16, holding a public auction at B3 SA - Brasil Bolsa Balcão.

The sale of corporate interests using Decree 9.188/17 contemplates, briefly, the following phases:
i. Preparation
• Planning of the competitive procedure (justification and assessment of impacts and authorizations);
• Creation of the Evaluation Committee or equivalent structure;
• Creation of the Alienation Commission; and
• Hiring consultancy for the Fairness Opinion report and others deemed necessary.
ii. Consultation of interest
iii. Publicize the Opportunity Disclosure Instrument (notice), which will contain, at least, the object of the sale, the criteria for participation, deadlines and ways of carrying out the Competitive Procedure n 01/2019
iv. Presentation of preliminary proposal. The Alienation Commission is entitled to request preliminary proposals from interested parties. In this procedure, the Alienation Commission chose not to carry out this phase.
v. Presentation of firm proposal (binding)
• It is up to the Alienation Commission to request firm proposals from interested parties;
• Prior to the bid opening event, the Disposal Committee will obtain the final economic and financial evaluation of the asset, to be prepared by the Evaluation Committee or equivalent structure; and
• Classification of proposals.
vi. Negotiation
vii. The Alienation Commission may negotiate with the best rated interested party or, successively, with the other interested parties, according to the ranking order, better and more advantageous conditions for the mixed capital company; and the negotiation may contemplate economic, commercial, contractual conditions, in addition to others considered relevant to the sale.
• Result and signature of contracts. The Alienation Commission will be responsible for preparing the final report on the competitive alienation procedure;
• It will be up to the competent statutory body of the mixed capital company to decide on the sale under the terms and conditions proposed by the highest rated interested party; and
• Once the alienation has been approved by the competent statutory body, the Alienation Commission will convene the best-qualified interested party to sign the contracts.

Adherence to Decree 9.188 / 17 brought the following operational benefits for Eletrobras in the sale of shareholdings in SPEs:
• Greater flexibility in the sale of assets, observing the precepts applicable to Mixed Economy Companies;
• Possibility of negotiation aiming at improving proposals;
• Expectation of significant cost reduction, given the greater simplicity of the Fairness Opinion service;
• Eletrobras is not bound by the sale until the decision of its collegiate bodies.
Regarding Lots 1 regarding Eletrobras 'participation in SPE Santa Vitória do Palmar and Lot 2 regarding Eletrobras' participation in SPEs Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX, there is a need for sales approvals to be given by the Eletrobras General Shareholders 'Meeting, for involving controlled companies, pursuant to Eletrobras' Bylaws.
The sale of said SPES had already been the subject of a decision by the 172nd Eletrobras Extraordinary General Meeting, when attempting to sell by Auction No. 01/2018, however, due to changes in the sale procedure, as well as the sale prices, new approval is required.
Further details on the Disposal Modeling can be obtained through the SPE Asset Disposal Plan (Annex 03) and the SPE Divestment System (Annex 04).
| 2.5 | Sale Price |
|---|
Unlike Auction No. 01/2018, where minimum prices are established and disclosed for each lot, only proposals with values higher than the defined minimum values are accepted, in the sale through the aforementioned Decree there is no minimum price concept, being replaced by concept of reference value, which is the value attributed by the company to the asset to be sold, however, it is considered that different assumptions about the forecast of certain variables can imply different perceptions of value. In this sense, the legal diploma recognizes that the value of an asset can vary depending on the premises adopted and allows the decision-making bodies of the company to determine whether the sale of an asset is advantageous, under market conditions, even if the perception of value among the buyer and the seller are not identical. The reference value is not known by the proponents, who have a wide freedom to propose the acquisition price of the asset. For the validation and completion of the sale, Management must hire a company from the financial sector to issue the fair value report.
In Decree No. 9,188/2017, reference values are established, obtained by an internal evaluation or by hiring an external advisor. In the case of disposals that are the subject of the agenda, an internal evaluation was chosen.
The reference price is based on the fact that the discounted cash flow assessment of any company is sensitive to the assumptions used (such as variations in the discount rate used, equipment unavailability, wind speed, future expectations energy rehiring price, overhaul costs, among other variables), and, thus, variations in the assumptions used can cause significant differences in the company's value.
The establishment of a minimum price, such as that of auction No. 01/2018, prevents the recognition and analysis of the impacts related to the assumptions used, resulting in an effective loss in the efficiency of the process.
| Page 15 |
| --- |
In Competitive procedure No. 01/2019 in reference, a criterion was used for the Disposal Committee to submit proposals for consideration by the Eletrobras Executive Board (DEE), so that it could deliberate on the issuance of the statement of fair value report by the contracted company for this purpose, according to CVM Instruction No. 361/2002, which establishes that variations in values determined by different criteria must not exceed 10%.
Thus, in order to define a reference value for Eletrobras' participation in SPE Santa Vitória do Palmar S / A and in SPEs Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX, the Company's Management prepared an evaluation report (valuations) (Annex 01 and Annex 02), as will be discussed below.
2.6. Assets for Sale
| 2.6.1 | SPE Santa Vitória<br>do Palmar |
|---|
Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding SA (“SPE Santa Vitória”) is a privately held company, having been created in October 2011, after the association of Eletrosul Centrais Elétricas SA (49%), merged in 2020, by the Electricity Generation and Transmission Company of Southern Brazil (CGT Eletrosul), and the Rio Bravo Energia I Investment Fund (51%), the latter succeeded by the Brave Winds Geradora SA Company
The following table shows the wholly owned subsidiaries of SPE Santa Vitória and the installed capacities, physical guarantees and other information from the wind farms. The authorization periods for all parks are 35 (thirty-five) years from the date of their respective Authorizing Decrees.
| Subsidiary | Wind Farm | MME Authorization Ordinance | Installed capacity (MW) | Current Physical Guarantee (average MW) | Number of wind turbines |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eólica Geribatu I S.A. | Verace I | 63/2012 | 20 | 8.5 | 10 |
| Eólica Geribatu II S.A. | Verace II | 58/2012 | 20 | 8.3 | 10 |

| Total | 402 | 156.9 | 201 |
* The Chuí Complex wind farms (144 MW) were incorporated on December 29, 2017.
| Page 16 |
| --- |
The initial values of physical guarantee were established in the authorization ordinances, totaling 169.1 average MW. Subsequently, through ANEEL dispatch No. 1,701 / 2015, the physical guarantees of the Chuí VI and Chuí VII wind farms were changed. In turn, on December 15, 2016, through Ordinance No. 245, of the Energy Planning and Development Secretariat of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), the physical guarantees of the Chuí I, Chuí II, Chuí wind farms were changed IV, Chuí V, Verace IV and Verace X. Finally, on September 27, 2019, through Ordinance No. 245, of the MME Energy Planning and Development Secretariat, the physical guarantees of the Chuí I, Chuí wind farms were changed II, Chuí IV, Chuí V, Verace V, Verace VII, Verace VIII and Verace IX. All these physical guarantee changes resulted in a total current physical guarantee of 156.9 average MW.
The creation of SPE Santa Vitória and its wholly-owned subsidiaries was the result of participation in the 12th auction of New Energy (A-3), which took place on August 17, 2011, promoted by the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), with the coordination of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). In this event, the consortia Chuí I, Chuí II, Chuí IV, Chuí V, Minuano I, Minuano II, Verace I, Verace II, Verace III, Verace IV, Verace V, Verace VI, Verace VII, Verace VIII, Verace IX and Verace X sold 169.1 average MW for a price close to R $ 100 / MWh in availability contracts that started in 2014 and are effective for 20 years. The contractual price updated by the IPCA amounts to R$ 160/MWh.
As required by the Auction Notice, the consortium members (FIP Rio Bravo and then Eletrosul) constituted Independent Electric Energy Producing Companies (PIEE), with the responsibility of implementing and exploring each of the wind power plants.
The Verace I to X parks started commercial operation on February 24, 2015 while the other parks started commercial operation on June 19, 2015.
On May 29, 2017, SPE Santa Vitória joined the MCSD A4 +, aiming at the termination of 100% of the amounts of electricity from the contracts signed at the ACR. Part of the permanently uncontracted energy was sold in a long-term private auction held by SPE Santa Vitória, with energy supply of a maximum amount of 145.3 average MW for the period between January 2018 to December 2031, with average sales prices in the first year of R$ 231/MWh and in the last year of R$ 145/MWh.
In December 2017, SPE Santa Vitória underwent significant corporate restructuring, with the following events:
a) The then shareholder Eletrosul Centrais Elétricas S.A received a swap of 101,925,081 common shares of Brave Winds Geradora S.A., thus, then Eletrosul Centrais Elétricas S.A. became, after this assignment, the controlling stake with 78% of the capital of SPE Santa Vitória;
b) The shareholders increased the share capital of SPE Santa Vitória through the payment of 100% shares held in the capital of Chuí Holding SA and its subsidiaries, therefore, from that date onwards, the Chuí Holding Wind Farms became part of the assets and were controlled by SPE Santa Vitória;
| Page 17 |
| --- |
c) The then Eletrosul Centrais Elétricas S.A. sold all of its shares in SPE Santa Vitória, which were transferred to Eletrobras.
Reference Price SPE Santa Vitória
The reference value for the sale of Eletrobras' stake in SPE Santa Vitória do Palmar S / A, according to the appraisal report, which constitutes Attachment 02 to this Proposal, is specified below:
| SPE Subsidiaries | Eletrobras Interest<br><br> <br>(%) | Reference Value<br><br> <br>(Thousand reais) |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding S.A. (inclui Chuí Holding S.A.) | 78.00% | 473,779 |
The percentage of participation indicated above corresponds to 100% of Eletrobras' shareholding in SPE Santa Vitória. Thus, Eletrobras will be divesting all of its participation in said SPE.
Value of the SPE Santa Vitoria Proposal
After the negotiation phase, Ômega Geração SA presented the most advantageous proposal for the purchase of the equity interest (78%) in SPE Santa Vitória, owned by Eletrobras, referring to Lot 1, although lower than Eletrobras' Reference Value, as shown in the table below:
| Amounts referred Dec 31, 2018 | Earn Out | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Applicant | Bid (a) (thousand reais) | Reference Value (a) (thousand reais) | Fairness Value (c) (thsoudand reais) | a/b | a/c | Price | Probability of exceeding | Additional generation (average MW) | Expected Amount |
| ($ Reais/MWh) | (%) | ($ thousand Reais) | |||||||
| Omega | 434,460 | 473,779 | 416,200 | 92% | 104% | There is not | There is not | There is not | There is not |
The amount offered by Ômega Geração on March 10, 2020 is 8% lower than the Reference Value defined by Eletrobras and 4% higher than the value of the asset obtained by the company responsible for issuing the fair value report
The table above shows, in a didactic way, that different assumptions, such as, for example, the evolution over the next 30 years of macroeconomic variables, such as: inflation, interest rate on Brazil risk can affect the perception of the value of an asset. The explicit recognition of these uncertainties was undoubtedly an advance established by Decree 9.188/2017.
| 2.6.2 | SPEs Hermenegildo I S/A,<br>Hermenegildo II S/A, Hermenegildo III S/A e Chuí IX S/A |

On November 18, 2013, the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), with the coordination of the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), operated the 17th New Energy Auction (A-3). In this event, the consortium formed by Eletrosul (99.99%), incorporated, in 2020, by the Electricity Generation and Transmission Company of Southern Brazil (CGT Eletrosul), and Renobrax (0.01%) sold energy from the 12 mentioned parks, totaling 59.4 average MW for a period of 20 years, starting on January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2035, for a price of R $ 124.28 / MWh (reference: nov/2013). In addition, the wind farms entered into energy sales contracts with then Eletrosul in the same period as the regulated contracts, selling an additional 23.7 average MW.
SPE Chuí IX entered into commercial operation on October 22, 2015, SPEs Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II entered into commercial operation on November 26, 2015 and finally, SPE Hermenegildo III entered into commercial operation on April 9, 2016.
On May 5, 2017, the SPEs Hermenegildo sent to CCEE declarations of offer to reduce the amounts of electric energy referring to the Surplus and Deficit Compensation Mechanism (MCSD), in which they terminated, as of January 2018, the contracts in regulated environment previously concluded.
| Page 19 |
| --- |
On March 20, 2018, the wind farms and then Eletrosul signed energy purchase and sale agreements effective until December 31, 2035, through which the wind farms sold 39.3 average MW, in the period from January 2018 to December 31, 2025 and 63.0 average MW, in the period and January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2035.
On June 30, 2017, the Eletrobras Board of Directors approved the transfer of the equity interests in the mentioned SPEs Hermenegildo held by Eletrosul, merged by CGT Eletrosul, to Eletrobras Holding.
Hermenegildo SPEs Reference Price
The reference value for the sale of Eletrobras' stake in the SPEs Hermenegildo I S/A, Hermenegildo II S/A, Hermenegildo III S/A and Chuí IX S/A, according to the appraisal report, which constitutes Attachment 01 to this Proposal, is specified below:
| SPE Subsidiaries | Eletrobras Interest<br><br> <br>(%) | Reference Value<br><br> <br>(Thousand reais) |
|---|---|---|
| Eólica Hermenegildo I S.A., Eólica Hermenegildo II S.A., Eólica Hermenegildo III S.A. and Eólica Chuí IX S.A. | 99.99% | 122118 |
The percentage of participation indicated above corresponds to 100% of Eletrobras' shareholding position in Hermenegildo SPEs. Thus, Eletrobras will be divesting all of its participation in said SPEs.
Value of the SPEs Hermenegildo Proposal
Ômega Geração SA presented the most advantageous proposal for the purchase of equity interest in the SPEs Hermenegildo I S/A, Hermenegildo II S/A, Hermenegildo III S/A and Chuí IX S/A, owned by Eletrobras, referring to Lot 2, as shown in the following table:
| Amounts referred Dec 31, 2018 | Earn Out | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Applicant | Bid (a) (thousand reais) | Reference Value (a) (thousand reais) | Fairness Value (c) (thsoudand reais) | a/b | a/c | Price | Probability of exceeding | Additional generation (average MW) | Expected Amount |
| ($ Reais/MWh) | (%) | ($ thousand Reais) | |||||||
| Omega | 134,000 | 122,118 | 132,407 | 110% | 101% | 185 | 44 | 3.9 | 8,348 |
The amount of R$ 134,000,000.00 (one hundred and thirty-four million reais) offered by Ômega Geração S.A. corresponds to 110% of the reference value. Additionally, an earn-out amount of R$ 185/MWh was also proposed, in accordance with item 18.1 of the Notice of Competitive Procedure no 01/2019.
| Page 20 |
| --- |
It is noted that the earn-out proposition refers to the value, per MWh, if the average generation of wind farms, in the period of three years, between 2020 and 2022, exceeds the generation verified in the referred plant in the 2016-2018 period (68.4 average MW). Studies carried out by Eletrobras indicate that the probability of generation occurring in the 2020-2022 triennium greater than that of the 2016-2018 period is 44%, with an expected revenue amount of R$ 8.3 million.
| 2.7. | Joint Analysis |
|---|
Considering lots 1 and 2, the Omega Geração proposal, if considered together, amounts to R$ 568,460,000.00 and, on the other hand, the sum of the reference values, if considered together, for lots 1 and 2 reach R$ 595,897,000.00. In this sense, the full proposal of Ômega Geração is 5% lower than the sum of the reference values of lots 1 and 2 and 4% higher than the value obtained by the company contracted to issue the fair value report.

| · | Eólica Hermenegildo I S.A.; |
|---|---|
| · | Eólica Hermenegildo II S.A.; |
| --- | --- |
| · | Eólica Hermenegildo III S.A.; |

| 2. | Disclaimer/Relevant points |
| --- | --- |
The following notes must be observed in the interpretation of the results presented herein.
| I. | The objective of this document is to provide support to the decisions<br>of Eletrobras’ Administration regarding the disposal of the assets included in Lot 2 of the Competitive Disposal Procedure<br>no. 01/2019, Eletrobras Call Notice no.01/2019; |
|---|---|
| II. | The macroeconomic forecasts used are based on current expectations<br>and have been obtained from the Macroeconomic Scenarios Report of June 2019, developed by the Economic and Financial Planning Department<br>- DFPP; |
| --- | --- |
It should be noted that it is extremely hard to project macroeconomic indicators for very long flows, such as in the case of concessions and authorizations under study, and thus the criteria of achievement of long term inflation targeting was adopted, as well as the maintenance of the other indicators to complement the DFPP report;
| III. | The modelling considers that the Dividends and Contingent Assets<br>already recognized in the Financial Statements of December 2018 that may be received after the closing of this assessment belong<br>to Eletrobras. The Contingent Liabilities are already recognized and highlighted in the template; |
|---|---|
| IV. | The analysis was limited to the valuation of the SPE at hand, and the technical, accounting and<br>legal Due Diligence works of the assets currently analyzed have not been carried out; |
| --- | --- |
| a. | The revenue loss of subsidiaries was not object of analysis in this work: during the works it was<br>verified that part of the O&M services of the SPE are provided by Eletrobras’ subsidiaries. Therefore, be<br>aware that this work did not analyze the amount involved with the potential loss of these contracts with the sale of the SPE. |
| --- | --- |
| Page 26 |
| --- | | V. | It is not the scope of this work to validate the information presented<br>in the accounting records, business plans, contracts, among others, provided in the Data Room. The main sources of information<br>used in the work have been the following: | | --- | --- | | · | Macroeconomic Information and Cost of Equity Capital - DFPP; | | --- | --- | | · | Technical Information of Aeolic SPE: Overhaul, Average selling prices,<br>O&M - Generation Board; | | --- | --- | | · | Financial Statements of the SPE; Energy Purchase and Sale Contracts,<br>O&M Agreement - Data Room. | | --- | --- |
It is important to emphasize that the economic and financial forecasts addressed in this TI contain estimates. Such estimates are not statements that they will be materialized or consolidated in the future, but rather reflect beliefs and expectations based on the best information available for Eletrobras at the time of the assessment.
Lastly, it should be stressed that all the valuation exercises carried out may constitute uncertain estimates and forecasts on future events according to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
| 3. | Methodology of the economic-financial assessment |
|---|
The valuation work carried out by Eletrobras has used, preferably, the discounted cash flow methodology. This methodology is based on the case that the value of a project depends on its capacity to generate wealth in the future. The revenues, costs, expenses investments and other working capital requirements are estimated, in addition to all the items that affect the project’s cash variation, for a certain period of time.
Since the values of the cash flow generated are obtained from different periods of time, they should be added and compared at the same moment in time (present value). Therefore, the net balances calculated for each period are brought to present value at a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent to the business added to the opportunity cost of risk-averse investors, that is, to an attractiveness rate that will reflect the opportunity cost of the capital providers of the business.
In a non-exhaustive manner, the Net Present Value of the Shareholder’s Cash Flow must be estimated (VPL).
In addition to the above value, sensitivity analyses may be carried out, as needed, on the main variables that affects the result, in order to provide a better perception of the risks and the potential value of the project.
| Page 27 |
| --- |
Thus, the assessments made by the DFPI technical team took into account the application of the methodology of the discounted cash flow to the shareholder.

| 4.1.3 | O&M - Operating Costs and Expenses |
|---|
The operation and maintenance - O&M expenses of the wind power plants have been calculated considering the average of administrative expenses obtained from the previous financial statements of the SPE and the O&M curves of the O&M agreements of these power plants. The administrative expenses contemplate general and administrative expenses, services provided by third parties and environmental expenses. Furthermore, 1.73% of the Annual Gross Operating Revenue was taken into account as an expense with lease and rents of the lands.
It should be noted that the O&M curves of the agreements correspond to a period of 10 (ten) years, starting on 01/01/2016. Therefore, pursuant to the premise provided by the Superintendency of Expansion and Management of Generation Assets - DGE, through DGE Memorandum 008/2019, of 07/11/2019, as from the 11th year of the O&M curve, the value of the 10th year until the end of the authorization period of the wind power plants was extrapolated.
The table below shows the summary of the O&M expenses used in the valuation.

Hermenegildo I: Difference VPL 2018 versus VPL 2019, R$ thousand

Notes: 1. Base date: purge of a year of negative FCFE (2018 = negative R$ 15,659 thousand); and 2. BP Adjustments: increase in cash and cash equivalent, from R$ 7,850 thousand to R$ 13,230 thousand.
****Hermenegildo II: Difference VPL 2018 versus VPL 2019, R$ thousand

| --- | | 7. | Comparison with market transactions | | --- | --- |
In addition to the valuations, the assessment using market multiples has also been performed in order to provide robustness to the analyses regarding the results obtained, from the relation between market values or comparable transactions and operational indicators. This approach is based on the idea that similar assets have similar future profitability. Therefore, since the valuations are about a Wind Power Generation SPE, the EV/MW multiple was adopted.
The chart below shows the result of the assessment performed by the DFPI, for Lot 2, as well as the results of the Merge and Acquisitions - M&A market transactions occurred in Brazil, including the SPE sold in Eletrobras Auction no. 01/2018 whose equity interest has already been transferred.
****Comparison of the valuation with the market transactions, EV/MW

From the chart above, it can be noted that the result obtained from the DFPI is slightly below the lower limit of the market transactions. This is justified by the termination of the power supply contracts in the Regulated Contracting Environment - ACR, due to the fact that the wind power plants of the SPE Hermenegildos I, II and III and Chuí IX were not honoring the Energy Commercialization Contracts in a Regulated Environment - CCEAR, resulting in sanctions thereto, and the resulting contracting of such power in the ACL at lower prices than those currently charged in the market.

| --- | | <br><br> <br>04/09/2020<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>IT DFPI-002/2020 | | --- | | VII. | The macroeconomic forecasts used are based on current expectations<br>and have been obtained from the Macroeconomic Scenarios Report of June 2019, developed by the Economic and Financial Planning Department<br>- DFPP; | | --- | --- |
It should be noted that it is extremely hard to project macroeconomic indicators for very long flows, such as in the case of concessions and authorizations under study, and thus the criterion of achievement of long term inflation targeting was adopted, as well as the maintenance of the other indicators to complement the DFPP report;
| VIII. | The modelling considers that the Dividends and Contingent Assets<br>already recognized in the Financial Statements of December 2018 that may be received after the closing of this assessment belong<br>to Eletrobras. The Contingent Liabilities are already recognized and highlighted in the template; |
|---|---|
| IX. | The analysis was limited to the valuation of the SPE at hand, and the technical, accounting and<br>legal Due Diligence works of the assets currently analyzed have not been carried out; |
| --- | --- |
| a. | The loss of income of subsidiaries was not object of analysis in the present work: During the works<br>it was verified that part of the O&M services of the SPE are provided by Eletrobras subsidiaries. Therefore, be aware that<br>this work did not analyze the amount involved with the potential loss of these contracts with the sale of the SPE. |
| --- | --- |
| X. | It is not the scope of this work to validate the information presented<br>in the accounting records, business plans, contracts, among others, provided in the Data Room. The main sources of information<br>used in the work have been the following: |
| --- | --- |
| · | Macroeconomic Information and Cost of Equity Capital - DFPP; |
| --- | --- |
| · | Technical Information of Aeolic SPE: Overhaul, Average selling prices,<br>O&M - Generation Board; |
| --- | --- |
| · | Financial Statements of the SPE; Energy Purchase and Sale Contracts,<br>O&M Agreement - Data Room. |
| --- | --- |
It is important to emphasize that the economic and financial forecasts addressed in this TI contain estimates. Such estimates are not statements that they will be materialized or consolidated in the future, but rather reflect beliefs and expectations based on the best information available for Eletrobras at the time of the assessment.
Lastly, it should be stressed that all the valuation exercises carried out may constitute uncertain estimates and forecasts on future events according to the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

| --- | | <br><br> <br>04/09/2020<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>IT DFPI-002/2020 | | --- | | 3. | Methodology of the economic-financial assessment | | --- | --- |
The valuation work carried out by Eletrobras has used, preferably, the discounted cash flow methodology. This methodology is based on the case that the value of a project depends on its capacity to generate wealth in the future. The revenues, costs, expenses investments and other working capital requirements are estimated, in addition to all the items that affect the project's cash variation, for a certain period of time.
Since the values of the cash flow generated are obtained from different periods of time, they should be added and compared at the same moment in time (present value). Therefore, the net balances calculated for each period are brought to present value at a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent to the business added to the opportunity cost of risk-averse investors, that is, to an attractiveness rate that will reflect the opportunity cost of the capital providers of the business.
In a non-exhaustive manner, the Net Present Value of the Shareholder's Cash Flow must be estimated (VPL).
In addition to the above value, sensitivity analyses may be carried out, as needed, on the main variables that affect the result, in order to provide a better perception of the risks and the potential value of the project.
Thus, the assessments made by the DFPI technical team took into account the application of the methodology of the discounted cash flow to the shareholder.

| 4.1.3 | O&M |

The costs and operational expenses of the wind power plants have been calculated considering the administrative expenses of the previous financial statement of the SPE and the curves of the operation and maintenance (O&M) agreements of these power plants. The O&M costs contemplate the expenses with third party and environmental services. Furthermore, 1.73% of the Annual Gross Operating Revenue was taken into account as an expense with lease and rents of the lands.
It should be noted that the O&M curves of the agreements correspond to a period of 20 (twenty) years, starting on 12/01/2014. Therefore, pursuant to the premise provided by the Superintendency of Expansion and Management of Generation Assets - DGE, through DGE Memorandum 008/2019, of 07/11/2019, as from the 21st year of the O&M curve, the value of the 20th year until the end of the authorization period of the wind power plants was extrapolated.
The table below shows the summary of the ten first years of the O&M expenses used in the valuation.

In addition to the valuation, the assessment using market multiples has also been performed in order to provide robustness to the analyses regarding the results obtained, from the relation between market values or comparable transactions and operational indicators. This approach is based on the idea that similar assets have similar future profitability. Therefore, since the valuation is about a Wind Power Generation SPE, the EV/MW multiple was adopted.
The chart below shows the result of the assessment performed by the DFPI, for Lot 1, as well as the results of the Merge and Acquisitions - M&A market transactions occurred in Brazil, including the SPE sold in Eletrobras Auction no. 01/2018 whose equity interest has already been transferred.
Chart 5. Comparison of the valuation with the market transactions, EV/MW

From the chart above, it can be noted that the result obtained from the DFPI is below the average and slightly above the minimum of the market transactions.

2.**** Introduction
This document contains the Divestment System in Specific Purpose Entities - SPE at Eletrobras and is intended to establish the guidance of the Administration to sell assets from such partnerships.

As a consequence of the 2015-2030 Strategic Plan (2015-2030 SP), the 2017-2021 Business & Management Master Plan (PDNG), approved by Eletrobras’ Board of Directors, three strategic pillars were set to be implemented in Eletrobras and in subsidiaries Furnas, Chesf, Eletrosul & Eletronorte, namely: i) Governance & Compliance; ii) Financial Discipline & iii) Operating Excellence, and also started preparing Eletrobras System’s Divestment Program.
The “Financial Discipline” cornerstone includes the following efforts:
· Reduction of investments;
· Privatization of distribution companies;
· Sale of administrative properties;
· Sale of interests in SPEs;
· Tax-related optimization; and
· Corporate restructuring aiming at the utilization of fiscal debt claim.
In the 2018-2022 PDNG planning cycle, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the strategic cornerstones were extended, and increased from three to five, upon the inclusion of cornerstones “Sustainable Performance” and “Valuation of People.”
In regards to the subject of “Financial Discipline,” there is an estimate of sale of the corporate interests held by Eletrobras Companies in Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), held in the annual reviews of the 2017-2021 PDNG, 2018-2022 PDNG and 2019-2023 PDNG subsequent planning cycles.

(b) The shareholders increased the Company’s capital stock through the payment of 100% of the shares held in the capital stock of Chuí Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries, therefore, from that date onwards, the Wind Farms of Chuí Holding started being a part of the assets and controlled by the Company;
(c) Eletrosul Centrais Elétricas S.A. sold the entirety of their Company’s shares, which were passed on to Eletrobras;

3. Sale Modeling
On September 27^th^, 2018, Eletrobras held a public auction (Auction n^o^. 01/2018) conducted by B3 S/A — Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) for the sale of 71 equity interests in Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) made available for sale in 18 lots.
In this competitive procedure, the Auction notice provided for the sale of 100% of the SPE’s capital stock, backed by a term of commitment entered into by the partners in which Brave Winds undertook to sell, jointly with Eletrobras, under the scope of the auction, their interest in the SPE, provided certain conditions are met.
Of the 71 SPEs previously mentioned, 26 were sold in 11 different lots. Thus, considering said event was not successful in selling Eletrobras’ interests in some companies, especially in SPEs Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding S.A., Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX, the 2019-2023 Business and Management Master Plan (PDNG), continuing the divestment process, set the goal of completing the divestment program with the sale of 39 remaining SPEs grouped into six lots, with Lot 1 referring to Eletrobras’ interest in SPE Santa Vitória do Palmar, and Lot 2, to Eletrobras’ interests in the other SPEs.
This time, Eletrobras’ Board of Directors (CA), through DEL 039/2019, from March 28^th^, 2019, resolved that Eletrobras’ corporate interests in the remaining SPEs should be sold under the aegis of Decree no. 9188/2018.
Decree no. 9188/17, to which adhesion is optional^38^, with the requirement of communication to the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy, set the rules of governance, transparency and good market practices for the adoption of a special divestment regime, based on the provisions contained in article no. 29 of Law 13303/16.
It is relevant to remember that Decree 9188/17 was published on 11.01.2017, when the works for the holding of Eletrobras’ Auction no. 01/2018 were already underway and, on the other hand, there was not enough experience of applying the decree in a divestment process. Therefore, Eletrobras chose, at the time, to use the regulation provided for in article 28 of Law 13303/16, conducting a public auction at B3 S.A. - Brasil Bolsa Balcão.
^38^ Decree 9188, article 3, paragraph 1
| Page 128 |
| --- |
The sale of the corporate interests using Decree 9188/17 briefly includes the following stages.
i. Preparation
· Planning of the competitive procedure (justification and assessment of impacts and consents);
· Creation of the Assessment Committee or equivalent structure;
· Creation of the Sales Committee; and
· Contracting of advisory services for the Fairness Opinion experts’ report and others deemed necessary.
ii. Interest inquiry
iii. Advertise the Opportunity Disclosure Instrument (call notice), which shall contain at least the purpose of the sale, the criteria for the participation, terms and ways of performing the acts.
iv. Submission of a preliminary bid. The Sales Committee is entitled to request preliminary bids from stakeholders. In this procedure, the Sales Committee chose not to perform this stage.
v. Submission of a solid bid (binding)
· It is the responsibility of the Sales Committee to request solid bids from stakeholders;
· Prior to the bid opening event, the Sales Committee shall obtain the final economic and financial assessment of the asset, to be prepared by the Assessment Committee or equivalent structure; and
| Page 129 |
| --- |
· Bid ranking.
vi. Trading
vii. The Sales Committee may negotiate with the best rated stakeholder or, successively, with all other stakeholders, according to the ranking order, better, more advantageous conditions for the semi-public company; and the negotiation may include economic, commercial and contractual conditions in addition to others deemed relevant to the sale.
| • | Income and Signature of agreements. It shall be<br>the responsibility of the Sales Committee to prepare the final report on the competitive sales procedure; |
|---|---|
| • | It shall be the responsibility of the competent<br>statutory agency of the semi-public company to decide on the sale under the terms and conditions proposed by the highest ranked<br>stakeholder; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | After the approval of the sale by the competent<br>statutory agency, the Sales Committee shall call upon the highest ranked stakeholder to sign the agreements. |
| --- | --- |
Adherence to Decree 9188/17 brought the following operational benefits to Eletrobras in the sale of shareholdings in SPEs:
· Greater flexibility in the sale of assets, in compliance with the provisions applicable to Semi-Public Companies;
· Possibility of negotiation aimed at improving the bids;
· Expectation of significant cost reduction, given the greater simplicity of the Fairness Opinion service;
| Page 130 |
| --- | | • | Eletrobras is not bound<br>by the sale until the decision of their collegiate organizations. | | --- | --- |
4. Reference Values
Unlike Auction no. 01/2018, where a single price is calculated and disclosed for each lot, the sale through the Decree does not provide for the disclosure of amounts.
Unlike Auction no. 01/2018, where a single price is calculated and only bids which amounts are higher than the minimum amounts defined are accepted. In the case of Decree no. 9188/2018, reference values are set with no provision for disclosure, by said decree, obtained by an internal assessment or through the hiring of an external advisor. In the present case, an option was made to conduct an internal assessment.
The reference price is based on the fact that the assessment per deducted cash flow of any company is sensitive to the assumptions used (such as changes to the deduction rate used, unavailability of equipment, wind speed, future expectations of energy re-contracting prices, overhaul costs, among other variables), and, therefore, changes to the assumptions used may lead to significant differences in the value of the company.
The establishment of a minimum price, such as that of auction no. 01/2018, prevents the recognition of the impacts related to the assumptions used, resulting in an effective loss in the efficiency of the process.
For example, any bid lower than the minimum price would be immediately discarded, even if within a certain margin of tolerance. This margin of tolerance may be correlated with the opportunity cost associated with postponing the sale, or even the financial cost avoided by the receipt of the proceeds from the sale in advance.
In Competitive procedure no. 01/2019, a criterion was used for the Sales Committee to submit bids for the consideration of Eletrobras’ Executive Board (DEE), so that they may resolve on the issuance of the certification of the fair value experts’ report by the company contracted for this purpose in accordance with CVM Instruction n^o^. 361/2002, which establishes that changes to amounts determined by different criteria must not exceed 10%.
| Page 131 |
| --- |
For a reference value to be set for each of the interests in SPEs which shall be subject to said Competitive Procedure, Company Management prepared assessment reports for each interest.
Such reports followed standards usually accepted for operations of similar nature. Thus, for further detailing about the calculation methodology used, and also about the results of the economic and financial valuations, and, furthermore, about the reference prices for the sale of interests in the SPEs chosen for the divestment through auctions, the entirety of every report prepared is available in Technical Information.
Concerning the reference values for the sale of each of the shareholdings in the SPEs, it should be emphasized that its values have been set by using the base date of December 31^st^, 2018, which amounted to R$ 595.9 Million, as stated in the table below:
| SPE Subsidiaries | Eletrobras Interest<br><br> <br>(%) | Reference<br><br> <br>Value<br><br> <br>(thousand Reais) |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding S.A.<br><br> <br>(includes Chuí Holding S.A.) | 78.00% | 473,779 |
| Eólica Hermenegildo I S.A.,<br><br> <br>Eólica Hermenegildo II S.A.<br><br> <br>Eólica Hermenegildo III S.A. and<br><br> <br>Eólica Chuí IX S.A. | 99.99% | 122,118 |
| Total | - | 595,897 |
| Page 132 |

5. Values of the Bids
| 11. | 5.1 Santa Vitória do Palmar |

After the negotiation stages, Omega Geração S.A. presented the most advantageous bid (attached) for the purchase of the shareholding (78%) held by Eletrobras in company Santa Vitória do Palmar, referring to Lot 1 as shown in the table below:
| Applicant | Reference Value (a) | Bid (b) | b/a | Earn Out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Omega Geração | 473,779 | 434,460 | 91.7% | None |
The amount offered by Omega Geração, on March 10^th^, 2020, is 8.3% lower than the Reference Value approved by the Executive Board and by the Board of Directors, according to RES-702/2019 and DEL-223/2019, respectively.
5.2 SPEs Hermegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III & Chuí IX

| Earn Out | ||||||
| Applicant | Reference Value (a) | Bid<br><br>(b) | (b/a) | Price<br>( Reais/MWh) | Additional generation (average MW) | Expected Amount<br><br>($ thousand Reais) |
| Omega | 122,118 | 134,000 | 110% | 185 | 3.9 | 8,343 |
All values are in US Dollars.
The amount offered of R$ 134,000,000.00 (one hundred and thirty-four Million Reais) corresponds to 110% of the reference value. In addition, an earn-out amount of R$ 185 MWh was also proposed, in accordance with item 18.1 of the Public Bid Notice for Competitive Procedure no. 01/2019.
| Page 133 |
| --- |
It should be emphasized that the earn-out proposition refers to the amount, per MWh, if the average generation of the wind farms, in the 2020-2022 three-year period, exceeds the generation verified in such plant in the 2016-2018 three-year period (68.4 average MWs).
In order to project the generation of the wind farms in the 2020-2022 period, we used an exponential damping technique based on the multiplicative model of Holt Winters, with the construction of 50 equable scenarios.
As a result, we have found that there is a 44% probability of the generation in the 2020-2022 three-year period to be higher than that of the 2016-2018 period. Therefore, there is a 56% probability of the average generation in the 2020-2022 period to be lower than that of the 2016-2018 period. In addition, the expected generation value conditioned to be higher than the generation occurred in 2016-2018 is 3.9 average MWs. With these considerations, it was found that the expected earn-out value is R$ 8,342,849.00 = 44%*185*3.9*3*8760. Such amount refers to December 31^st^, 2018.
5.3 Joint Analysis
Considering lots 1 & 2, Omega Geração’s bid amounts to $ 568,460,000.00 Reais and, on the other hand, the sum of the reference values for lots 1 & 2 amounts to R$ 595,897,000.00. In this sense, the full bid of Omega Geração is 4.6% lower than the addition of the reference values for lots 1 & 2.
6. Analysis of Benefits & Risks of the Bid
Benefits
· Reduction of the Net Debt/EBTIDA Indicator as part of the 2018-2022 PDNG
· Debt reduction through the payment of debts using the amount obtained with the sale of shareholding interests in Special Purpose Entities.
| Page 134 |
| --- |
Risks
· Failure to obtain consent for the operation of purchasing and selling shares from all counterparties of the agreements entered into with the SPE which have a clause of acceleration of maturity, mandatory termination or penalties in the event of transfer of shares, including financing banks, transferring banks, debenture holders and guarantors;
· Failure to obtain consent from the Brazilian Electricity Agency - ANEEL and from the Board of Directors for Economic Protection – CADE;

Additionally, BR Partners made interactions with Eletrobras executives and administrators regarding the Transaction, and the financial assumptions and projections were provided and validated by Eletrobras, attesting therefore the reasonableness and applicability of such assumptions and projections for the preparation of the analysis. Eletrobras also declares that such materials were prepared in good faith.
BR Partners since now clarifies that the analysis and conclusions of the Presentation and this Opinion may be different from those that are actually contained in such documents, if there are material changes in any of the materials provided to BR Partners, listed above, including, but not limited to SPA and the Bid Offer. This Opinion could also be changed based on elements still unknown by BR Partners and Eletrobras, including the closing notifications of the Transaction with values unknown on this date.
**4.**Assumptions and Exceptions

Any estimates<br>and projections of the Companies, described or used in the Presentation, were made available, prepared, used and / or discussed<br>between BR Partners and Eletrobras’ representatives, or obtained from public sources considered reputable and reliable, and<br>/ or based on estimates and projections presented there. |

| Page 144 |
| --- | | · | If any of the assumptions used in the<br>preparation of the Presentation and this Opinion or any information provided to BR Partners by Eletrobras proves to be, in any<br>way, incorrect, incomplete or imprecise, the conclusions of the Presentation and this Opinion may be substantially modified. | | --- | --- | | · | This Opinion, including the analysis<br>and conclusions related to it, was not prepared with the purpose of complying with any laws or corporate, capital market or securities-related<br>regulations. This Opinion is not, and should not be read as if it were, (i) a review; or (ii) a technical report or an appraisal<br>report, as defined in Brazilian legislation, including Law 6,404 / 1976 (“Lei das S.A.”). In addition, this Opinion<br>and the Presentation should not be used to meet any legal or regulatory requirements applicable to Eletrobras and / or the Transaction,<br>under the scope of any corporate events and / or capital market transactions related to it, including, but not limited to, articles<br>4, 8, 45, 227, 256 and 264 of the “Lei das S.A.”, the regulations of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission<br>- CVM and the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Markets Entities, Securities and Exchange Commission and / or the<br>Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. | | --- | --- | | · | Eletrobras' deliberative bodies, administrators<br>and shareholders are solely and exclusively responsible for any decisions made on the Transaction, based on their own analysis<br>of the Transaction's risks, convenience and benefits. BR Partners does not undertake and is not liable for any losses and / or<br>damages, direct or indirect, or loss of profits related to the Transaction potentially related to the Presentation and this Opinion,<br>incurred by Eletrobras and / or by its shareholders. | | --- | --- | | · | This Opinion does not take into consideration<br>(i) any aspect other than the financial value of the Transaction or (ii) any other implication of the Transaction or (iii) any<br>contract, agreement or understanding related to it. This Opinion is restricted to the analysis of the price offered in the Bid<br>Offer submitted by Ômega to Eletrobras, and BR Partners does not express any opinion regarding the potential impact of the<br>acceptance or not of the Transaction on the value of Eletrobras' shares or other securities traded on the securities market at<br>any time. | | --- | --- | | · | BR Partners was not retained by Eletrobras<br>to advise regarding the negotiations in place and structure of the Transaction with the Buyer. In addition, this Opinion does not<br>deal with the strategic and commercial merits of the Transaction, in comparison with other strategies or business operations that<br>may be available to Eletrobras, the way the sale process was held<br>by Eletrobras, nor does it deal with the form or structure of the Transaction, or any potential strategic and commercial decision<br>by the parties involved in the Transaction, or the effects of its execution, and neither the Presentation nor this Opinion takes<br>these facts into account. | | --- | --- |
| Page 145 |
| --- | | · | In addition, data and market information<br>related to the macroeconomic scenario necessary for the economic and financial analysis by BR Partners, projections of IPCA, SELIC<br>and CPI (Consumer Price Index) in the USA, were obtained from publications of the Central Bank of Brazil, Bloomberg and Capital<br>IQ, which may differ substantially from the results actually verified in the future, since the analysis and values of<br>the economic-financial analysis of the Transaction are based on forecasts of future financial results. | | --- | --- | | · | BR Partners will receive a fixed consideration<br>to be paid by Eletrobras upon delivery of this Opinion, under the terms of the Agreement, such consideration does not depend on<br>the result of any favorable or unfavorable decision by Eletrobras' deliberative bodies about the Transaction to which the Opinion<br>refers. | | --- | --- | | · | BR Partners has not expressed any opinion<br>in relation to any consequences, including tax, regulatory, legal or other, that may result from the Transaction, nor does its<br>opinion consider any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting aspects, about which BR Partners assumes that Eletrobras and its deliberative<br>bodies obtained the due advice from qualified professionals. | | --- | --- | | · | BR Partners has no interest, direct or<br>indirect, in the Transaction, so the conclusions of this Opinion derive exclusively from the experience of BR Partners and its<br>technical capacity and there is no situation that can be understood as a conflict of interest on the part of the BR Partners that<br>may or will harm its exemption and independence in issuing this Opinion. | | --- | --- | | · | BR Partners does not undertake any obligation<br>to update, revise, reformulate, supplement or rectify the Presentation or this Opinion, in whole or in part, for any reason or<br>purpose, after the Issue Date. | | --- | --- |
**5.**The Forum in which the Opinion was Appreciatedand Approved
The Presentation and this Opinion were prepared by a technical team of BR Partners with relevant expertise in economic and financial appraisals. Additionally, the Presentation and this Opinion, after being prepared by the BR Partners technical team, were subjected to critical analysis by an internal BR Partners committee (“Evaluation Committee”), composed of BR Partners directors with extensive and recognized experience in mergers and acquisitions and valuations of companies and assets. In this sense, to guarantee the exemption of the members of the Evaluation Committee in the critical analysis of the terms and conclusions of the Presentation and of this Opinion, none of its members was part of the technical team of BR Partners that prepared these documents.
| Page 146 |
| --- |
All criticisms, comments and suggestions from the Evaluation Committee were addressed by the BR Partners technical team responsible for preparing the Presentation and this Opinion. It was only after a second review and approval by the Evaluation Committee on the materials in question that the Presentation and this Opinion were then forwarded to Eletrobras.
**6.**Evaluation whether the Transaction is Fair andEquitable or not, from a Financial Point of View
Subject to the above and the other considerations contained in the Presentation, on the present date, the proposed consideration for the Transaction, from an exclusively financial point of view, is fair to Eletrobras, in view of current market standards.
This is the Opinion of BR Partners, prepared exclusively in Portuguese and governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, on the Transaction. BR Partners is available to provide any additional clarifications that may be necessary to Eletrobras' decision-making bodies.

| Reference: | Memorandum DFR- 041/2020<br><br> <br>EMP–2020/0299 |

The Head of DFR sends us, through the abovementioned memorandum, a matter requesting an analysis^39^ of this PRJE, from a legal point of view, of Eletrobras’ Management Proposal connected to the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”), to be held on September 02, 2020, at 2p.m. to deliberate on the following agenda:
^39^ It should be emphasized that this examination shall be limited to the legal aspects of the subject, with no regard for technical, economic, financial aspects, and those that require the exercise of administrative discretion.
| Page 148 |

Once the facts are reported, the legal questions connected to the query under examination are analyzed, and the convenience and timeliness of the contents of the Management Proposal are not matters of a legal nature.
1. General Considerations regarding the Shareholders’Meeting
1.1. Call:
Initially, regarding the call, we would like to clarify that, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 124^40^et seq of Law No. 6,404/1976 (“LSA”), the regular call of shareholders shall be made by means of publication of notices, and shall include, in addition to the venue, date and time of the Shareholders’ Meeting, and the agenda.
^40^ Article 124. The call shall be made by means of a notice published for a minimum of 3 (three) times, stating, in addition to the venue, date, and time of the meeting, the agenda and, in case of reform of the Articles of Incorporation.
Paragraph 1 The first call of the shareholders’ meeting shall be made:
I
- in the closely-held corporations, at least eight (8) days before the publication of the first notice; if the meeting is not being held, a new notice will be published, in a second call, at least five (5) days in advance;
II
in the publicly-held company, the deadline for the first call shall be 15 (fifteen) days, and the second call for 8 (eight) days.
Page 149
It should be noted that Article 124, Paragraph 6 of LSA, which requires listed companies to submit, on the date of publication of the notice convening the annual and special meeting, documents related to the agenda on the Stock Exchanges on which their shares are mostly negotiated. It is also noted that such obligation is additional to those required by Articles 133^41^ and 135^42^, Paragraph 3 of the same legal provision.
Paragraph 2 Except for reasons of Force Majeure, the shareholders’ meeting shall be held in the building where the company has its headquarters; whenever it will be held in another location, the notices shall clearly state the venue of the meeting, which in no case may be held outside the location of the headquarters.
Paragraph 3 In closed held corporations, a shareholder representing five percent (5%) or more of the capital stock shall be called by telegram or registered letter, issued with the advance provided for in Paragraph 1, provided that he/she has requested it in writing, to the company, indicating the full address and validity of the request, not exceeding two (2) fiscal years, and renewable; this notice does not exempt the publication of the notice provided for in Paragraph 1, and failure to comply will entitled the shareholder the right to compensation from the company’s management for damages.
Paragraph 4 Regardless of the formalities foreseen in this article, the shareholders’ meeting to be attended by all the shareholders shall be considered regular.
Paragraph 5 The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission may, at its sole discretion, by reasoned decision of its Collective Body, at the request of any shareholder, and after hearing the company:
I
- increase, to up to thirty (30) days, as of the date on which the documents related to the matters to be resolved are made available to the shareholders, the timely notice of publication of the first call notice of the shareholders’ meeting of the publicly-held company, when it concerns operations that, due to their intricateness, require a longer period for them to be known and analyzed by the shareholders;
II
- discontinue, for up to 15 (fifteen) days, the course of the deadline prior to the call of an special shareholders’ meeting of publicly-held company, in order to take cognizance and review the proposals to be submitted to the meeting and, if applicable, inform to the company, until the termination of the discontinuance, the reasons why it considers that the proposed deliberation to the meeting breaches legal or regulatory provisions.
Paragraph 6 Publicly-held companies with shares listed for trading on a stock exchange shall, at the date of publication of the notice convening the meeting, send to the stock exchange on which their shares are mostly traded, the documents made available to shareholders for deliberation in shareholders’ meeting.
^41^ Article 133. The managers should communicate, no later than one (1) month before the date scheduled for the shareholders' meeting, by notices published in the manner set forth in Article 124, which are available to shareholders:
I
- the management’s report on the corporate business and the main administrative facts of the accounting year then ended;
II
- copy of the financial statements;
III
the opinion of independent auditors, if any.
Page 150
It should be noted that Law 12,431/11 amended for the first time Article 121 of LSA, establishing an important innovation with regard to the opening, holding and registration of the shareholders’ meeting: the online attendance of the publicly-held company’s shareholder. The primary objective of this innovation was to suppress absenteeism of the company’s minority shareholders, which sometimes deem the costs connected to procuring information and traveling to the venue an obstacle to the intended corporate activism, and the underlying improvement of the capital market. As stated by Modesto Carvalhosa*, “online attendance does not hinder in any way the full exerciseof the right to participate, debate, protest and vote reasonably.”*
Shareholders who participate online in a shareholders’ meeting are entitled to participate in all discussions regarding the matters, being able to present their motions, protests and dissenting votes,
IV
- the opinion of the fiscal board, including dissenting votes, if any; and
V
- other documents relevant to the subjects included in the agenda.
Paragraph 1 The notices shall state the place or places where the shareholders may arrange copies of these documents.
Paragraph 2 The company shall submit a copy of these documents to the shareholders who request it in writing, under the conditions set forth in Paragraph 3 of Article 124.
Paragraph 3 The documents referred to in this article, except for those included in subsections IV and V, shall be published at least five (5) days before the date set for holding the shareholders’ meeting.
Paragraph 4 The shareholders’ meeting that gathers all shareholders may consider as remedied the absence of publication of notices or failure to comply with the deadlines referred to in this article; but publishing the documents before the meeting is held is mandatory.
Paragraph 5 The publication of the notices is exempted when the documents referred to in this article are published until 1 (one) month before the date scheduled for holding the ordinary shareholders’ meeting.
^42^ Article 135. The special shareholders’ meeting that aims at the reform of the Articles of Incorporation shall be opened in the first call with the attendance of shareholders representing at least 2/3 (two thirds) of the voting capital, but may be opened, in a second instance, with any number.
(...)
Paragraph 3 The documents relevant for the matter to be discussed at the special shareholders’ meeting shall be made available to the shareholders at the company's headquarters on the occasion of the publication of the first notice convening the shareholders' meeting.
| Page 151 |
| --- |
which shall be included as attachments to the respective minutes. In this regard, Articles 100^43^, Paragraph 2, and 127^44^, sole paragraph, all of LSA.
It is worth noting, also, that pursuant to Article 121, paragraph 1 of LSA^45^, after the amendment to MP No. 931/2020, the shareholder of publicly-held company is allowed to participate and vote in a general shareholders’ meeting remotely.
At this point, CVM Instruction No. 481, as amended by CVM Instruction No. 622/2020, Article 4^46^, subsection III, determines that the call notice must include, if remote participation via electronic system is permitted, information detailing the rules and procedures according to which shareholders may participate and vote remotely at the general shareholders’ meeting, including necessary and sufficient information for shareholders to access and use the system, and if the meeting will be partially or exclusively held via digital means.
^43^ "Article 100. In addition to the mandatory books for any merchandising business, the company must have the following ones, which shall meet the same legal formalities:
(...)
Paragraph 2 In publicly-held companies, the books referred to in subsections I to V of the head provision of this article may be replaced, subject to the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, with mechanical or electronic records.”
^44^ "Article 127. Before opening the meeting, shareholders shall sign the “Attendance Book,” stating their name, nationality and residence, as well as the number, type and class of shares they hold.
Sole Paragraph. For all purposes of this Law, a shareholder who registers his/her presence remotely is considered to be present at the shareholders’ meeting, as provided for in the regulations of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.”
^45^ "Article 121. The shareholders’ meeting, called and opened in accordance with the law and the Articles of Incorporation, has the power to decide on all business concerning the corporate purpose, and to take the resolutions it deems convenient for its defense and development.
Paragraph 1 In publicly-held companies, the shareholder may remotely participate and vote at a shareholders’ meeting, in accordance with the regulations of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.
Paragraph 1 In closely-held companies, the shareholder may remotely participate and vote at a shareholders’ meeting, in accordance with the regulations of the Special Secretariat of Debureaucratization, Management and Digital Government’s National Department for Corporate Registration and Integration under the Ministry of Economy.”
^46^ “Article 4 The call notice for general shareholders’ meetings must include:
(...)
III – if remote participation via electronic system is permitted, under the terms of Article 21-C, paragraph 2, subsection II, information detailing the rules and procedures according to which shareholders may participate and vote remotely at the general shareholders’ meeting, including necessary and sufficient information for shareholders to access and use the system, and if the meeting will be partially or exclusively held via digital means.”
| Page 152 |
| --- |
Paragraph 3 of Article 5^47^ of the abovementioned Instruction allows the company to demand that the shareholder who intends to participate via electronic system deposit the documents listed in paragraph 1 within 2 (two) days before the date in which the meeting is to be held.
In spite of the above, the respected doctrine has always admitted the possibility holding shareholders’ meeting entirely or partially via digital means.
According to jurist Nelson Eizirik:
“GeneralShareholders’ Meetings may, at first, be held in different manners: (i) at the venue informed in the call notice and withattendance in person of shareholders; (ii) virtually, without the physical presence of participants, (iii) at thevenue informed in the call notice, with attendance in person of some participants and the possibility of remote participation byother shareholders, via screens, telephone or videoconference, cable TV or internet, for instance (emphasis added)”^48^
^47^ "Article 5 The call notice must list the documents required for shareholders to be admitted to the general shareholders’ meeting.
(...)
Paragraph 3 The company may require that the shareholder who intents to participate via electronic system, pursuant to Article 21-C, II, deposit the documents listed in paragraph 1 within two (2) days before the date in which the meeting is to be held.”

In light of the above legislation, the Management Proposal states that:
"Considering the situation being reported about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing restrictions on the circulation and gathering of people, the Shareholders’ Meeting will be exclusively held via digital means, reason why the Shareholder may only participate:
(a) via remote voting bulletin. Detailedinstructions on the documentation required for remote voting are contained in the bulletin that can be accessed on the abovementionedwebsites; and
(b) via Digital Platform, in person or bya proxy duly constituted under the terms of article 21-C, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of IN CVM 481, in which case the Shareholder may:(i) simply attend the Meeting, whether or not he has sent the Bulletin; or (ii) participate and vote at the Meeting. It must beemphasized that for the Shareholder who has already sent the Bulletin and wishes to vote at the Meeting, all voting instructionsreceived through the Bulletin will be disregarded.
In view of the foregoing, there is no legal impediment to holding the concerned general shareholders’ meeting in an exclusively virtual format.
With regard to the opening of AGE, Article 125^49^ of LSA establishes that the meeting is opened in the first call with the attendance of shareholders representing at least 1/4 of the capital with voting rights and, on second call, any number thereof.
In this regard, it should be noted that opening quorum is different from the deliberation quorum (Articles 129^50^and 136^51^of LSA). The first is the minimum number of shareholders that the law establishes for the accomplishment of the bidding process, and the second stands as the minimum number of votes required to approve certain matters and is therefore a requirement for the validity of the deliberations.
^49^ Article 125. Subject to the exceptions provided for by law, the shareholders' meeting shall be convened, at first call, with the presence of shareholders representing at least 1/4 (one fourth) of the voting capital stock; and, on second call, it shall be opened with any number.
Sole Paragraph. Non-voting shareholders may attend the shareholders’ meeting, and discuss the matter referred for deliberation.
| Page 154 |
| --- |
^50^ Article 129. The resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting, except for the exceptions provided by law, shall be taken by absolute majority of votes, not counting blank votes.
^51^ Article 136. The approval of shareholders representing at least one-half of the voting shares is required if a higher quorum is not required by the company’s Articles of Incorporation, and whose shares are not admitted to trading on stock exchange or over-the-counter market, for a deliberation on:
I - the creation of preferred shares or class increase of existing preferred shares, without proportion to the other classes of preferred shares, unless already established or authorized by the Articles of Incorporation;
II - change in the preferences, advantages and conditions of redemption or amortization of one or more classes of preferred shares, or creation of a new class of higher preference;
III - reduction of the mandatory dividend;
IV - consolidation of the company, or its merger into another one;
V - participation in a group of companies (Article 265);
VI - chance of the corporate purpose;
VII - end of the company’s liquidation status;
VIII - establishment of the participation certificates;
IX - company’s spin-off;
X - company’s dissolution.
Paragraph 1 In the cases of subsections I and II, the effectiveness of the deliberation depends on prior approval or ratification, over a non-extendable term of one year, by holders of more than half of each class of preferred shares impaired, gathered at a special meeting convened by the managers, and instituted according to the formalities of said Law.
Paragraph 2 The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission may authorize the reduction of the quorum provided for in this article in the case of publicly-held company with dispersed shares in the market, whose 3 (three) last shareholders’ meetings have been held with the presence of shareholders representing less than half of the voting shares. In this case, the authorization of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission shall be mentioned in the call notice and the deliberation with a reduced quorum may only be adopted on a third call.
Paragraph 3 The provisions of paragraph 2 of this article shall also apply to the special shareholders’ meetings referred to in paragraph 1.
Paragraph 4 It shall be included in the minutes of the general meeting that deliberate on the matters under subsections I and II, if there is no previous approval, that the resolution shall only be effective after its ratification by the special shareholders’ meeting set forth in Paragraph 1.
| Page 155 |
| --- |
With regard to the deliberation quorum, it should be noted that, as a general rule, the LSA, in Article 129, established the majority principle while setting forth in the head provision that the deliberations shall be taken by absolute majority of votes of the attending shareholders, not counting blank votes, that is, those that do not contain any statement. Thus, the deliberations taken at a shareholders’ meeting regularly called and opened, are binding on all shareholders, even absent or dissenting.
As regards to provision of documentation, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) issued CVM Instruction No. 481/2009, which established requirements related to the disclosure of information that must be provided by management to shareholders prior to the holding of shareholders’ meetings of publicly-held companies, mainly Articles 2 and 6 of said instruction^52^.
The abovementioned Instruction does not require minimum information that should be disclosed by the Company relating to the call of an AGE that has as its subject matter the resolution on the sale of equity interests in companies, nor the sale of the control of such assets.
In this sense, the Management must disclose the documents required to convey to shareholders a set of information to facilitate appropriate voting and to evidence compliance with the decision-making process that led to the sale of such assets.
The Management Proposal, when dealing with the subject, informs that to sell its equity interests in the Special Purpose Company Santa Vitória do Palmar SA and in the Special Purpose Companies Hermenegildo I SA, Hermenegido II SA, Hermenegildo III SA and Chuí IX SA (“SPEs”), the Company prepared economic and legal feasibility studies which supported the operation and confirm the understanding by their Managers that accomplishing such sale shall improve the Company’s financial status and that of their subsidiaries, which are briefly described as follows.
^52^ Article 2 The information and documents supplied to shareholders under the terms of this Instruction:
I – must be true, full and consistent;
II – must be written in a clear, objective and concise language; and
III – should not mislead the shareholder.
(...)
Article 6 The company should make available to the shareholders, through an electronic system on the CVM web page:
I - information and documents provided for in the other articles of this Chapter III, and in Chapter III-A; and
II - any other information and documents relevant to the exercise of the right to vote in the meeting.
Sole Paragraph. The documents and information should be provided up to the date of publication of the first call notice of the meeting, except if Law No. 6404 of 1976, this Instruction or other rule of CVM establish a longer term.
| Page 156 |
| --- |
1.2. Voting Right
Initially, it should be noted that all shareholders holding common shares shall have the right to vote in the concerned AGE, pursuant to the provisions of Article 110^53^ of LSA also apply.
However, Eletrobras’ preferred shares do not grant their holders the right to vote at shareholders’ meetings, according to Article 8^54^, subsection II of the Company's Articles of Incorporation^55^.
^53^ Article 110. Each ordinary share corresponds to one (1) vote in the deliberations of the shareholders’ meeting.
^54^ Article 8. Eletrobras’ shares shall be:
(...)
II - preferred, registered shares without right to vote in Shareholders’ Meetings.
^55^ “Article 4 - Each ordinary share shall correspond to one vote in the deliberations of the shareholders’ meeting.
Sole Paragraph. Preferred shares shall not have voting rights, shall be entitled to:
(...)
IV the right to elect and dismiss a member of the Board of Directors in a separate vote, under the conditions established in Law 6404/76 and its amendments.”
| Page 157 |
| --- |
1.3. Remote Voting
CVM, by amending CVM Instruction 481/2009, regulated the remote voting provided for in the sole paragraphs of Articles 121 and 127 of LSA, introducing into the Brazilian capital market a tool for distance voting referred to as ballot paper.
In this vein, the ballot paper for remote voting became mandatory^56^for publicly traded companies with shares listed on the stock exchange.
Therefore, said companies are required to make available to their shareholders the remote voting ballot paper up to one month prior to the date scheduled for the ordinary shareholders’ meeting and the shareholders’ meetings convened to deliberate on the election of members of the Board of Directors and Fiscal Board, abiding by the provisions of CVM Instruction 561/2015, without prejudice to distance voting being used for shareholders’ meetings convened to deliberate on other matters, at the discretion of the company.
Therefore, in light of CVM Instruction 481/2009, Eletrobras should make available to its shareholders the Remote Voting Bulletin, pursuant to the provisions under Article 21-F of said Instruction.
It should be noted that the OFFICIAL LETTER/CVM/SEP/ No. 2/2020, issued by the CVM’s Superintendence of Corporate Relations (SEP), in its item 7.1.6, establishes that “Theadoption of remote voting in a given shareholders’ meeting should always cover all matters included in the agenda, regardlessof their presence or not in the list provided for under Article 21-A of CVM Instruction 481/09, as provided for under Article 21-F,paragraph 1, subsection I of said Instruction.”
^56^ Article 21-A. The shareholder may exercise the vote in shareholders’ meetings by completing and delivering the ballot paper.
Paragraph 1 Up to 1 (one) month before the date set for the meeting, the company should make the remote ballot paper available:
I – in the event of the shareholders’ meeting;
II – whenever the shareholders’ meeting is called to deliberate on the election of members:
a) of the fiscal board; or
b) of the board of directors, when the election becomes necessary due to vacancy of the majority of the positions of the board, by vacancy in a board that has been elected by multiple vote or to fill the vacancies dedicated to the separate election provided for under Articles 141, Paragraph 4 and 239 of Law No. 6404, of 1976; and
III - whenever a special shareholders’ meeting is called to occur on the same date scheduled for the shareholders’ meeting.
Paragraph 2 Without prejudice to the provisions of subsection II of Paragraph 1, the company may allow the remote ballot paper at any special shareholders’ meeting, abiding by the terms and conditions established in this Chapter III-A, except for Section IV.

2. Business Object of the Extraordinary GeneralMeeting
In accordance with Article 131 of LSA^57^, the Shareholders’ Meeting is ordinary when it has as its object the matters listed in the exhaustive list in Article 132 of the same legal provision, and special in the other cases^58^.
As a matter of fact, what the scope of responsibility of EGM includes derives from the particular business of OGM, being typical in the events established under Articles 135 and 136 of LSA, and atypical whenever so demands the company’s Articles of Incorporation, or, even more widely, when called to “resolve all business connected to the corporate purpose, and to make the deliberations deemedsuitable for its protection and development,” according to Article 121 of the aforementioned legal provision.
Once the general questions are resolved, we will examine the legal aspects of the Call for Bids and Management Proposal regarding the concerned EGM.
With regard to the agenda, the Management Proposal renders it clear that:
“On September 27, 2018, Eletrobrasheld a public auction (Auction No. 01/2018) conducted by B3 S/A — Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) for thesale of 71 equity interests in Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) made available for sale in 18 lots. Of the 71 SPEs held for sale,26 were sold, in 11 different lots.
Considering that said tender was not successfulin selling Eletrobras’ interests in some companies, especially in SPEs Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding, HermenegildoI, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX, the then 2019-2023 Business and Management Master Plan (PDNG), continuingthe divestment process, set the goal of completing the divestment program with the sale of another 39 SPEs grouped into six lots,with Lot 1 referring to Eletrobras’ interest in SPE Santa Vitória do Palmar, and Lot 2 referring to Eletrobras’interest in SPEs Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX.
^57^ Article 131. The shareholders’ meeting is ordinary when it deals with the matters provided for in article 132, and special in the other cases.
^58^ Article 132. Annually, in the first four (4) months following the end of the accounting year, there shall be one (1) shareholders’ meeting to: I - take the accounts of the managers, examine, discuss, and vote on the financial statements; II - resolve on the allocation of net income for the year and the distribution of dividends; III - elect the managers and members of the fiscal board, when applicable; IV - approve the inflation adjustment of capital (Article 167) .
| Page 159 |
| --- |
This time, on March 28, 2019, Eletrobras’Board of Directors (“CA”) resolved that Eletrobras’ interest in the remaining SPEs should be sold under the aegisof Decree No. 9188/2017.
Said Decree establishes the rules ofgovernance, transparency and good market practices for the adoption of a special divestment regime, based on the provisions containedin article No. 29 of Law 13303/16.
(...)
Adherence to Decree 9,188/17 brought thefollowing operational benefits to Eletrobras in the sale of shareholdings in SPEs:
· Greater flexibility in the sale of assets, in compliance with the provisions applicableto Semi-Public Companies;
· Possibility of negotiation aimed at improving the bids;
· Expectation of significant cost reduction, given the greater simplicity of the FairnessOpinion service;
· Eletrobras is not bound by the sale until the decision of their collegiate organizations.
Pursuant to Eletrobras’ Bylaws, EletrobrasShareholders’ Meeting needs to approve the sales of Lots 1 of Eletrobras’ interest in SPE Santa Vitória do Palmarand Lot 2 of Eletrobras’ interest in SPEs Hermenegildo I, Hermenegildo II, Hermenegildo III and Chuí IX, as they involvesubsidiaries.
The sale of said SPEs had already beenthe object of deliberation at the 172^nd^ Eletrobras Special Shareholders’ Meeting, at the attempt to sell themby Auction No. 01/2018; however, due to changes in the sale procedure, as well as in the selling prices, new approval is required.”"
The history of operations and their technical, economic and financial aspects are described in the Management Proposal and the annexes thereto, which include the details, advantages and risks of the operations contained in the agenda. Such documents must be taken into consideration by the administrators when deliberating.
It should be noted that, because they are out of the scope of this Legal Department, this report shall not cover assessments about the economic and financial conditions, as well as the convenience and opportunity for approval of the agendas in question, which claim adjudication on the merits by Eletrobras’ managers and deem the decision of the Shareholders’ Meeting as the sovereign deliberation. This report shall not review the premises made in the documents above either.
| Page 160 |
| --- |
Therefore, and upon these initial considerations, the agenda is then examined.
Regarding the issue concerned in the agenda – sale of controlling interest –, it should be said that Eletrobras’ program of divestment in SPE’s has legal basis on Article 15, head provision, and paragraph one under Law No. 3890-A/1961^59^, which authorize the company to hold interest in companies, with or without controlling power.
In this sense, given that the propositions of the agenda are aimed at approving the sale of the equity interest of Eletrobras in SPE’s, the competence of AGE to be called to approve the business in the agenda is clear, under the terms of Article 17, subsection I, of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation^60^, according to which the Shareholders’ Meeting is competent to deliberate on the full or partial sale of the shares of the Eletrobras’ capital or its subsidiaries, which is in keeping with the provisions under Article 1, subsection I, of Decree No. 1091/1994^61^, which establishes that a Shareholders’ Meeting should be especially called to deliberate on the issue in question.
^59^ Article 15. ELETROBRAS shall operate directly or through subsidiaries or companies to which it associates, to fulfill its corporate purpose.
Paragraph 1 Eletrobras, directly or by means of its subsidiaries or controlled companies, may partner, with or without the disbursement of funds, to establish business consortia or interest on companies, with or without losing the control, in Brazil or abroad, earmarked for directly or indirectly exploring the exploitation of the production or transmission of electrical power under the regime of concession or distribution.
^60^ Article 17. In addition to the cases provided for by law, the Shareholders Meeting shall meet whenever the Board of Directors sees fit, and, particularly, to vote on the following matters:
I – total or partial sale of shares from the share capital of Eletrobras or its subsidiaries;
^61^ Article 1 Government-owned companies, government-controlled companies and their subsidiaries, directly or indirectly controlled by the Federal Government, may only perform the corporate acts referred to in this decree upon the decision of a shareholders’ meeting especially convened to resolve on the following businesses:
I - sell, in whole or in part, shares of its capital or that of its subsidiaries; proceed to the opening of its capital; increase its capital by subscription of new shares; waive the rights to subscribe for shares or debentures convertible into shares of subsidiaries; issue debentures convertible into shares or sell them, if held in treasury; sell debentures convertible into shares held by it issued by controlled companies; or, issue any other securities, in Brazil or abroad;
| Page 161 |
| --- |
In addition, there is rule of article 37^62^ of Decree 9188/2017, which governs the legal regime for divestment of state-owned companies, which demands approval of the sale, by the competent statutory body “under the terms and conditions proposed by the better qualified interested party”, which is why a resolution on the share purchase and sale agreement (“CCVA”) is on the agenda.
About the prior regulatory consents required for the sale, it should also be noted that there is need for approval of the transfer of the controlling interest of SPE’s by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense – CADE, pursuant to Article 88 of Law 12529/2011, therefore meeting the applicable legal provisions and standards.
It should be noted that these regulatory constraints do not preclude the deliberation of the Shareholders’ Meeting, which shall only resolve on the approval of the sale of the shares and their minimum selling price.
2.1 - Relevant legal aspects ofthe Share Purchase and Sale Agreement (“CCVA”) draft
The legal feasibility of the initial draft of the CCVA, published as Annex 17 of the ELETROBRAS Tender Notice No. 01/2019 (“PUBLIC NOTICE”) was analyzed and confirmed by ELETROBRAS’ external legal consultant - the Souza, Cescon, Barrieu & Flesch Law Firm - hired to provide support in matters related to the divestment plan. Such report is attached to this analysis.
However, because of the occurrence, before the execution of the SPEs’ CCVA, of the COVID-19 pandemic that has been impacting business operations in terms of obtaining funds and collaterals from banks, the Omega Geração S/A (“BUYER”) requested ELETROBRAS to make adjustments to the CCVA to instrumentalize the sale of the SPEs, in order to adapt its terms to the current moment, thus maintaining the feasibility of the operations.
In order to carry out a legal analysis of the changes requested by the BUYER, we were based on the constitutional Principles applicable to Public Administration, especially those regarding Impersonality and Equality, to guide the content and limits for the business changes in the CCVA, as well as the possibility of adjustments due to the impacts caused by the COVID-19 claimed by the BUYER, provided that BUYER is able to demonstrate the causality between the request and the impacts of the pandemic.
Furthermore, the Selling Commission also considered that both the application of the provisions of Decree 9,188/17 that govern the Tender and the PUBLIC NOTICE prepared under its aegis regarding the treatment given by ELETROBRAS’ control bodies to negotiations in a COVID-19 pandemic situation are recent scenarios and still do not offer parameters for the business limits to be observed, which is why we reinforce that all legal analyses that have been carried out on this subject-matter have an opinion character.
^62^ “Article 37. The competent statutory body of the government-controlled company is responsible for voting on the sale under the terms and conditions proposed by the better qualified interested party.”
| Page 162 |
| --- |
However, it is certain that Article 2 of Decree 9,188/17 provides principle that helped collating BUYER’s claims, such as the aforementioned Principle of impersonality, and transparency and legal certainty, without prejudice to the equity behavior expected from ELETROBRAS towards the participants of the tender, and the principles of efficiency and better economic return.
Thus, since the wording of each of the amended clauses has already been the object of legal guidance requested by the Selling Committee to negotiate with the BUYER, we can state that the relevant adjustments requested by the BUYER and which were incorporated into the CCVA, may be classified as:
| (a) | Assumption<br>by ELETROBRAS, in Clause 5.2. (iii) the CCVA, the commitment to support the BUYER in obtaining the consent of the counterparties<br>in Restrictive Contracts^63^,<br>which is one of the conditions precedent for the CCVA to take effect; |
|---|---|
| (b) | The<br>inclusion of a target date for Closing^64^,<br>that is, December 11, 2020, according to the current wording of Clause 6.4 of the CCVA; |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | Adjustment<br>to the wording of Clause 7.2, as in the BUYER’s understanding the possible delay in obtaining the necessary consents with<br>counterparties and CADE in a pandemic environment may require more time than usual. In this sense, the BUYER proposed a wording<br>that, in its opinion, ensures even greater clarity in relation to ELETROBRAS’ management of the SPEs during the so-called<br>“Transition Period”, which is the period that will elapse between the execution of the CCVA and its Effective Closing.<br>It is important to note that the wording proposed by the BUYER for clause 7.2 of the CCVA has the same elements as the definition<br>of “Normal Course of Business” in the CCVA glossary^65^. |
| --- | --- |
^63^The CCVA states in its glossary that Restrictive Contracts are: (...) the contracts signed by the Companies that have clauses providing for the acceleration, mandatory termination, penalties or other adverse events for any of the Companies and/or for the Seller due to the implementation of the Operation, including the transfer of Shares to the Buyer (...)”
^64^The CCVA states in its glossary that “Closing” means “the fulfillment of the Operation, with the purchase and sale of all and no less than all of the Shares, under the terms and conditions of this Contract”.
^65^ The CCVA defines as Normal Course of Business: “(...) the set of activities that, due to its nature, purpose or form of execution, is required to the fulfillment of the Companies' business purpose, taking into account the continuity of each of the Companies' activities in their usual levels and standards and without there being any interruption, provided that: (i) such activities are carried out in the normal and ordinary course, diligently, without any relevant change or interruption pertaining to the nature, means and purposes of their activities; and (ii) are consistent, by their nature, purpose and form of execution, with the market practices applicable to the entire industry the Companies operate in.
| Page 163 |
| --- | | (d) | Also<br>as a result of the Transition Period, BUYER was requested to insert Clause 7.4 in the CCVA, which addresses ELETROBRAS’ obligation<br>to make SPEs make available to BUYER relevant information on “(...) acts, facts, events and/or occurrences that may havea negative impact on their ordinary course of business (...) ”. | | --- | --- |
In this same line, Clause 7.5. was also included. Said clause provides for the possibility of “the Seller allowing the Buyer and its representatives, provided that thisis requested at least two (2) Business Days in advance, to access the offices and other facilities and properties of the Companiesin order to check records exclusively related to the event. (...)” (g.n.)
| (e) | Granting<br>of a longer term, of 365 days from Closing^66^,<br>for the BUYER to replace the guarantees provided for in Clause 7.7 of the CCVA, subject to the conditions set out in the current<br>wording of Clause 7.7.1 and 6.1 (viii); |
|---|---|
| (f) | Amendment of Clause 12.1 (i), which addresses<br>with the possibility of termination of the CCVA by ELETROBRAS before Closing in case of breach of contractual obligation by BUYER.<br>Provision of a 90-day remediation period^67^,<br>that is, an additional period so the BUYER can revert its default status before the CCVA is terminated by ELETROBRAS; |
| --- | --- |
| (g) | Finally,<br>the amendment to Clause 12.1 (ii) that addresses the hypothesis of termination of the CCVA if “(...) the Conditions<br>Precedent are not all met within 365 (three hundred and sixty-five) calendar days from the Signature Date, provided that every<br>act under Buyer’s responsibility with the purpose of executing the Conditions Precedent have been demonstrably carried out<br>within 60 (sixty) calendar days from the signature of this Contract;” |
| --- | --- |
In addition, we inform that in line with Clause 18 of the CALL, the BUYER opted for the EARN OUT clause, which became part of the CCVA as Clause 3.4^68^.
^66^ The assessment of the term requested by the BUYER was carried out by the Selling Commission.
^67^ The assessment of the term requested by the BUYER was carried out by the Selling Commission.
^68^ “3.4 Earn Out. The Parties agree that, on May 1st, 2023, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an additional price of R$ 185.00/MWh (one hundred and eighty-five reais per Megawatt-Hour), based on December 31, 2018, multiplied by the positive difference between the average of power generated, in MWh, during the three-year term of 2020-2022, and the average of power generated in the three-year term of 2016-2018, according to the value indicated in the best economic proposal (as established in the Call Notice), submitted in the scope of the Competitive Procedure no. 01/2019.”

3. Final Considerations
As for the internal approval of the issue, it should be approved by the Executive Board, in accordance with Article 47^69^, subsection I of ELETROBRAS’ Articles of Incorporation, followed by the referral to the Company’s Board of Directors, based on Article 36^70^, subsection IX of ELETROBRAS’ Articles of Incorporation, for subsequent call of the Shareholders’ Meeting of ELETROBRAS, in accordance with Article 17, subsection I^71^, of the Articles of Incorporation of Eletrobras, also considering Article 142^72^, subsection IV of LSA.
Concerning the scope of responsibility of the Fiscal Board to assess the matter in question, the hearing of this corporate agency is deemed unnecessary for the sale of the SPE’s, since there is no such matter in the list of the Audit Committee’s assignments, as established in Article 163^73^ of LSA, as
^69^ Article 47. In the exercise of its duties, Executive Board shall especially:
(...)
I - prepare and submit to the Board of Directors Eletrobras’ administrative organization fundamental guidelines, as well as approve the referral of other matters within the competence of said Board;

I - sale, in whole or in part, of shares of the capital stock of Eletrobras or its subsidiaries;
^72^ Article 142. The Board of Directors shall:
(...)
IV - call the shareholders’ meeting when it deems it feasible, or in the case of Article 132;
^73^ Article 163. The Audit Committee shall be responsible to:
I

II
give his opinion on the annual report of the administration, stating in its opinion the additional information deemed necessary or useful for the deliberation of the General Meeting;
Page 165
well as in Article 53^74^ of the Articles of Incorporation of Eletrobras. However, this corporate agency may request information from the managers on the operations in question, limited to the appraisal of
III
- express an opinion about the proposals of the management bodies to be submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting regarding the change of capital, issuance of debentures or subscription bonuses, investment plans or capital budgets, distribution of dividends, transformation, merger or spin-off; (See Law No. 12838, of 2013)

I - supervise, by any of its members, the acts of the administrators and verify compliance with their legal and statutory duties; II - give opinion on the annual report of the administration, stating in its opinion the additional information deemed necessary or useful for the deliberation of the General Meeting; III - give opinion on the proposals of the management bodies to be submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting regarding change in the share capital, issuance of debentures or subscription bonuses, investment plans or capital budgets, distribution of dividends, transformation, merger or spin-off;
IV - denounce, by any of its members, to the management bodies and, if they do not take the necessary measures for the protection of the interests of Eletrobras, to the General Meeting, any errors, fraud or crimes they discover, and suggest useful measures;
V - convene the Annual General Meeting, if the management bodies delay the call for more than one month, and the Extraordinary Meeting, whenever there are serious or urgent reasons, including on the agenda of the Meetings such matters as they deem necessary;

| --- |
the legality of the acts practiced. The Audit Committee’s positioning, therefore, would be recommended as a good corporate governance practice, as established by the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC) for the sale of relevant assets, for instance^75^.
It is also recommended that DFR appraises the need for a position of the Audit Committee, or an agency that may be resorted to in its stead, in the light of the applicable laws of the countries in which ELETROBRAS has its shares registered in stock exchanges.
Furthermore, we consider the need to evaluate the convenience and timeliness of the proposals in the agenda, as well as their communication to CVM, and to the stock exchanges that issue securities issued by Eletrobras, since they can be considered as relevant facts, in view of the provisions set forth in Article 2, sole paragraph, item XVIII of CVM Instruction 358/2002.^76^Therefore, we recommend that DFR^77^appraises, as the case may be, the appropriate moment for the communication of material fact to the market, and the managers shall be responsible for adjudicating on the merits of its immediate disclosure, should this threaten the legitimate interest of the Company.
XII - monitor equity, financial and budgetary execution, with powers to examine books, any other documents and request information; and
XIII - oversee compliance with Eletrobras’ participation limit in the funding of health care and complementary pension benefits.
^75^As stated in item 1.2 (“Suggestions of Activities arising from Allocations”) of the Guidance Manual for the Audit Committee of IBGC.
^76^ Article 2 For the purposes of this Instruction, any decision of a controlling shareholder, a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting meeting or of the governing agencies of a publicly-held company, are considered relevant, as well as any other political, administrative, technical, business or economic and financial act or fact happening or connected to its business that could significantly impact:
(...)
Sole Paragraph. In accordance with the definition of the head provision, potentially relevant act or fact include the following, among others:
(...)
XVIII - approval, change or withdrawal of project, or else delay implementing it;
^77^ As established by CVM Instruction 358/2002 in its Article 3, as follows:
Article 3 It is incumbent upon the Investor Relations Officer to send to CVM, through an electronic system available on the CVM website in the Internet, and, if applicable, to the stock exchange and organized over-the-counter market entity in which the securities issued by the company are actually traded, any relevant act or fact happened or connected to its business, as well as ensure its wide and immediate dissemination, simultaneously in all markets in which such securities are actually traded.

It should also be noted that approving or not the terms of the Management Proposal reviewed hereunder stands as a question of administrative merit, lacking legal status. Therefore, this analysis is not the responsibility of this advisory, being in charge of the judgment of convenience and timeliness of the manager.
It should be once again noted that the legal understanding set out in this report is a mere opinion, which is the position we think is more in line with the legal provisions applicable to this case.
As a result, in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Manual of Good Consulting Practice of the Office of the General Counsel for the Federal Government, we would like to render it clear that any stamps in the documents forwarded to PRJE merely stand as a mechanism for certification of the sheets actually reviewed by the counsel, and thus not replace or disregard the corresponding legal opinion.
In view of the foregoing, pursuant to the judgment on the merits, and subject to the above considerations and considering the favorable position of the competent Departments, the Management Proposal for the 179th EGM of Eletrobras is hereby sealed for the purpose of controlling the discussions by this PRJE, given that the Financial Board is responsible for the content of such document.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the opinion.
For appraisal of higher instance.

| --- | | TO: | Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. – Eletrobras<br><br> <br>Mr. Maurício Carvalho Mazzini<br><br> <br>Mr. André de Avellar Torres | | --- | --- | | FROM: | Carlos Augusto Junqueira<br><br> <br>Alécia Bicalho<br><br> <br>Andréia Gonçalves<br><br> <br>Victor Campinho | | REF: | Analysis of an Agreement draft attached to Public<br> Notice No. 01/2019 | | DATE: | July 18^th^, 2019 |
The scope of this Memorandum is the legal analysis of the primary terms of the Purchase & Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) which will be included as an attachment to Eletrobras’ Public Notice No. 01/2019 (“Public Notice”), for the sale of interests held by Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (“Eletrobras”, “Company” or also “Seller”) in Special Purpose Companies (“SPCs”), through the special divestment system provided for in Decree 9,188 from November 1^st^, 2017 (“Decree”).
The scope of our analysis will be the following legal concepts which we consider more significant, segregated in specific chapters: (a) responsibility for eventual future indemnities; (b) price adjustment mechanisms; (c) conditions precedent; (d) lack of burden on shares; (e) cases of termination; (f) earn out clause; and (g) other general considerations.
The Agreement is based on the draft which was included as an attachment to Eletrobras’ Public Notice No. 01/2018, related to Eletrobras’ Auction No. 01/2018, held within the scope of B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3 Auction”), through which Eletrobras offered to the market the interests in the SPE which is the subject matter of the Public Notice. Concerning the draft of a previous agreement, which was sent as an attachment to the Public Notice of B3 Auction, the only change which was actually material was the forecast of the earn out mechanism, which will be analyzed more closely.
**I.**Responsibility for Eventual Future Indemnities
The Agreement provides that the sale will occur in mode “sold with everything inside”. Such denomination is how the market usually refers to transactions in which neither Party will be entitled to any asset or will be liable for any supervening liabilities occurring in the activities of the SPC, even though its generating event has occurred before the execution of the Agreement.
| Page 169 |
| --- |
Said provision is contained in Clauses 9.4. and 11.1. of the Agreement.
Obviously, such liability exclusion does not cover any acts of bad faith on the part of the Seller, if they intentionally omit facts or incur acts after the execution of the Agreement in order to transfer losses or cause losses to the buyer.
The exception that applies to this case is that of Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding S.A., which is the subject matter of Lot 1 of the Public Notice. According to Clause 3.3., the price of Lot 1 may be adjusted according to the result of an existing legal dispute involving SPC Chuí Holding S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding S.A.
Notwithstanding the adoption of mode “sold with everything inside”, the Agreement provides cases of obligations to indemnify both parties for any non-compliance with obligations taken on in the Agreement itself. Therefore, there are no obligations to indemnify for assets or liabilities arising from an earlier or later fact directly related to the SPC and foreign to the Agreement. But there may be such an obligation in case of breach of certain contractual provisions.
The buyer shall indemnify the Seller for any loss incurred by them due to: (i) breach, misrepresentation or inaccuracy of the statements and securities provided by the buyer; (ii) any default of obligation or commitment taken on by the buyer in the Agreement; and (iii) any act, fact, action or omission related to the SPC that causes any loss to the Seller, even if it occurred prior to the Agreement liquidation date.
Furthermore, the Agreement provides for the enforcement of a non-compensatory fine to the buyer if it (i) directly or indirectly gives rise to any non-compliance with some condition precedent for the closing of the agreement; or (ii) breaches any obligation of the agreement. The non-compensatory fine may be equivalent to: (i) the highest amount among (a) ten percent (10%) of the purchase price; or (ii) the total difference between the purchase price and the amount offered by the bidder who, in compliance with the approved classification order, acquires the shares of such SPC; and (ii) temporary suspension of the right to take part in bids and impediment to contract with the Seller and with any companies which are part of their economic group. The incidence of the non-compensatory fine does not prevent the Seller from seeking the indemnity due in the cases in which it is allowed in the Agreement, as stated above.
| Page 170 |
| --- |
**II.**Price Adjustment Mechanisms
The version of the Agreement attached to the Public Notice provides for the possibility only of price adjustments due to the following events:
| (i) | Declaration of dividends<br>by SEP after the base date, in which case the amount distributed to the Seller as dividends must be deducted from the purchase<br>price; and |
|---|---|
| (ii) | Investment made by the<br>Seller in the SPC after the base date, in which case such an amount will be added to the purchase price. |
| --- | --- |
Dividends already declared before the base date, which have not yet been paid shall be paid to the Seller, in the amount they are due, without any impact on the sale price.
In addition to these cases of adjustment, the Purchase Price eventually offered by the bidder who wins the competitive process must be restated according to the positive variation of the SELIC rate, pro rata temporis, from the base date, which is December 31st, 2018, to the business day immediately before the Closing, when the amount due will be paid.
Such forecast is justified considering that the Reference Value, which will be calculated by the Evaluation Committee established for this procedure, will be based on the Financial Statements of the SPC for December 31st, 2018. Therefore, in order to prevent an eventual discrepancy in the value, it must be restated according to the SELIC rate.
In this regard, it should be noticed that the Purchase Price offered by the bidders, even if they are only made later, must consider the price on the base date of December 31st, 2018, as the amount will be restated since then, regardless of the date on which the Agreement is entered into.
Concerning the price adjustment clause, it should be noticed that the clauses related to percentages which are applicable to the payment, referring to the payment method, whether it will be in cash, in installments, percentages applicable to the first and second installments, are one of the cases in which changes by the Bidder will be admitted, according to Clause 12.1.2. of the Public Notice.
Therefore, the clause contained in the Public Notice about it is a standard, but may be the target of amendment proposals by participants when they submit their actual bid.
Notwithstanding this, we draw your attention to a specific inconsistency, which must be corrected in the Agreement: clause 3.1. provides only that the price offered by the winning bidder must be restated according to the accrued positive variation of the Selic rate from the base date to the Closing date. However, the Public Notice provides, in its clauses 21 and 22, a payment mechanism in two installments, considering that the first one must be paid on the date of execution and, necessarily, corresponds to at least 5% of the purchase price offered. Subsequently, Clause 22.2. provides, in Clause 22.2.1., that the purchase price will be restated according to the accrued variation of the Selic rate between the base date and the date of the first installment and, in Clause 22.2.2., that the remaining installment (not yet paid in the first installment) will start being restated according to the application of 110% of the Selic rate variation on the outstanding balance from the date of the first installment to the date of payment of the second installment.
| Page 171 |
| --- |
Such a mechanism shall be reflected in Clause 3.1. If the winning bidder chooses to pay for everything in cash, at the time of Closing, the price will be restated according only to the variation of the Selic rate from the base date to the payment date. If, on the contrary, they adopt this payment mechanism in two installments, the amount will be restated according to the Selic rate between the base date and the payment date of the first installment (which will correspond to 5% of the nominal value offered by the bidder) and will start being restated, from this date, by the equivalent of 110% of the Selic rate. In the second installment, the calculation of the amount due will include the entire monetary restatement from the base date, in addition to the price adjustments.
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust Clause 3.1. of the Agreement draft to be in line with the final version of the Public Notice.
Finally, we notice the exception relating to Santa Vitória do Palmar Holding S.A., previously mentioned in the previous Chapter, as well as the possibility of including an earn out mechanism by the bidders. Such a possibility is recorded in Clause 3.4. of the Agreement, which only showed the possibility without discussing it. The Public Notice includes a suggestion for an earn out clause, however, it authorizes bidders to present other possibilities, and it is up to the Sales Committee to assess the convenience of accepting it or not.
As it is a possibility given to the bidders, we see no major problems with the standard Agreement draft not having a clause model.
The earn out mechanism will be the subject of specific considerations in Chapter VI below.
**III.**Conditions Precedent
Due to certain regulatory and contractual obligations, the Agreement includes, in Clause 5, a series of conditions precedent. The conditions precedent are divided between those which exempt both parties from materializing the sale and those which exempt only Eletrobras from materializing it. In the conditions precedent of the Parties, if some of these are not verified, the operation will not be materialized; concerning the second set of conditions precedent, Eletrobras may exempt the buyer from complying with them, in accordance with their understanding.
| Page 172 |
| --- |
The conditions precedent of the parties are limited to obtaining regulatory approvals, i.e., from ANEEL, when necessary (transfer of control), and CADE, and the absence of any Law or decree preventing the materialization of the transfer on the closing date.
As for the conditions precedent enforceable only against the buyer, which may be waived by Eletrobras at their discretion, they are: (i) the statements and securities given by the buyer must be correct and true on the date of liquidation of the sale; (ii) the buyer cannot have breached, until the date of liquidation, any obligation or commitment taken on under the Agreement; and (iii) in case there is an agreement entered into by the SPC providing for early maturity, mandatory termination or various penalties in case of sale of the interest held by Eletrobras, the buyer has not obtained the consent of the counterparty of such agreements releasing Eletrobras from such adverse consequences.
The reason why this second group of conditions precedent is relative and can be released by the Seller is due to two aspects: the first is because there is no legal or regulatory impediment to the materialization of the sale due to the non-verification of such conditions, on the contrary of what happens in relation to the first group of conditions precedent; the second is because such conditions are enforced in the defense of Eletrobras’ interests, so that, if it is found that, in this specific case, it is more beneficial to Eletrobras to waive the effective fulfillment of such condition and to liquidate the sale, the Company will be granted such a possibility.
Also, although it is not configured as a condition precedent of the obligations, it is worth mentioning that, among the buyer’s obligations to be met at the time of Closing, there is the adhesion to an eventual Shareholders’ Agreement existing within the scope of the SPC and to which Eletrobras is a party. Considering that, in most cases, the Agreement itself provides that the SPC is prevented from registering transfers of shares which are made in disagreement with the provisions of the Agreement and, also, that such Agreements provide for the obligation of any purchaser of linked shares to adhere to the Agreement, it is a condition for the transfer of shares to be effective.
IV. Lack of Burden on Shares
One of the statements made by the Seller refers to the lack of burden on shares. Those burdens eventually arising from shareholders’ agreements entered into within the scope of the SPEs, as mentioned above, and from financing agreements entered into by the SPC or directly related to their activities in connection with which the shares issued by the SPC and held by the Seller have been given as a security are excluded from such statement.
| Page 173 |
| --- |
As they are agreements entered into by the SPC itself or directly linked to their activities (usually, financing agreements entered into with BNDES), there should be no greater implications regarding such burdens, since they are agreements specifically related to the SPC, and not to the Seller’s activities not related to the SPEs sold.
Anyhow, considering the existence of such burdens, it will be necessary, in the version of each Agreement to be submitted for execution by the buyer of each SPC or lot of SPC, the detailed listing of every agreement in which the SPEs’ shares sold are given as security, specifying the subject matter of each of these agreements.
The need to list such agreements in details is aimed precisely at allowing the buyer (i) to specifically identify which burdens the shares they are buying are subject to; and (ii) to ensure the subject matters of such contracts relate to the activities performed by the SPC.
V. Cases of Termination
The Agreement provides, in Clause 12, for some cases of termination attributed to the Seller or to both parties.
The Company, and only they, may terminate the Agreement beforehand without the buyer being entitled to any indemnity or reparation if: (a) there is any default, by the buyer, of any obligation taken on under the Agreement; (b) the conditions precedent are not fully implemented within 365 days from the execution of the agreement; and (c) there is any reason of public interest arising from a supervening fact duly proven and relevant enough to justify such early termination.
Such early termination cases are powers provided to Eletrobras, so they may keep complying with the Agreement and its liquidation even if any case of early termination is verified, in case they believe keeping it is beneficial to them.
In addition to such cases, either party may terminate the Agreement beforehand and not produce any title to the counterparty if (a) there is a final decision by a Government Authority preventing or disapproving the materialization of the Agreement, considering the buyer may not terminate it beforehand if said disapproval results from a fact or circumstance related to or caused by them, even if indirectly or through their parent company, subsidiaries or shared-control companies; and (b) there is a decision by CADE conditioning the liquidation of the Agreement to the amendment of any of its fundamental terms or conditions, in which case the party affected by the decision may choose to terminate the Agreement beforehand. In the latter case, the party affected by CADE’s decision and which chose not to comply with it will be subject to the payment of the non-compensatory fine provided for in Clause 12.3. of the Agreement (including if such party is Eletrobras).

VI. Earn Out Clause
As noted in Chapter II, Eletrobras gave bidders a chance to enter an Earn Out clause as part of the amount offered.
The Agreement contains no standard clause, only indicates such a possibility, in Clause 3.4.
Notwithstanding, the Public Notice itself suggests a possible earn out mechanism which could be provided for as part of the price offered by the bidder.
According to Clause 18.2:
“i) Wind Power Generation SPEs.
An amount in Brazilian Reais per MWh,with December 31^st^, 2018 being its basis, its reference being the positive difference between the average generatedpower, in MWh, during 2020 thru 2022 and also 2016 thru 2018, including the latter. The Bidder will inform Eletrobras, at the endof each financial year from 2020 thru 2022, the power generated (MWh) in each wind power complex.
This amount will be restated according to thevariation in the SELIC rate until its liquidation, which should occur on May 1^st^, 2023.
ii) TransmissionSPC.
The Bidder may offer an amount in BrazilianReais per additional percentage unit of availability, with December 31^st^, 2018 being its basis, if, during theoperation, the average total unavailability (scheduled and unscheduled) observed from 2020 thru 2022 is lower than that observedfrom 2016 thru 2018. This amount will be restated according to the variation in the SELIC rate until its liquidation, which shouldoccur on May 1^st^, 2023. The Bidder will inform Eletrobras, at the end of each financial year from 2020 thru 2022, theunavailability of the transmission line.”
Anyhow, the Clause itself authorizes other earn out forms to be offered, which will be evaluated by the Sales Committee.
Therefore, there are no stationary or minimally rigid parameters on which we can focus our analysis. The form of the clause will depend on the negotiation between the bidder and the Sales Committee.
| Page 175 |
| --- |
However, it is worth reproducing some considerations, in an abstract, regarding the inclusion of earn out mechanisms in agreements for the sale of assets and equity interests.
It is a mechanism widely adopted in transactions involving equity interests or assets. The mechanism consists of providing for an additional payment after the verification of a certain event or the fulfillment of a certain condition involving the asset sold.
It is widely used, therefore, when there is a discrepancy on the actual fair value of the asset or when there is a considerable potential for appreciation/future gain which materialization is doubtful or linked to a doubtful event.
In order to allow the payment of the consideration that the parties believe is due if such an event or condition is implemented/met, while avoiding the expenditure being made in advance under the risk of non-verification, is that the parties stipulate said provision for a conditional additional payment, called earn out in business practice.
It is important to notice that it is not an ordinary mechanism for the restatement of prices, which may be made upwards or downwards, depending on the future performance of the asset or on the occurrence of certain events. The earn out is always an additional payment by the buyer. It is, therefore, a portion of the purchase price that will be added to the price actually paid if the condition is verified or after the asset reaches a certain level of financial performance.
The event to which the payment of the earn out is conditioned may even be an event which probability of implementation is quite considerable, the question being more about the time lag which will elapse from the closing until the occurrence of the event. There is no objection to providing for an earn out clause linked to a highly probable event, but which date of occurrence cannot be anticipated by the parties.
Therefore, considering it is only the possibility of an additional payment, the stipulation of an earn out clause does not denature the mode “sold with everything inside” chosen for the Agreement.
This provision seems to fully meet the Company’s purposes of providing greater market bias and attractiveness in the competition for the asset, by enabling them to link part of the price to future financial objective factors. This intention to make the procedure more attractive without depleting the price of the SPEs is important especially as these are lots which received no bids in the B3 Auction.
| Page 176 |
| --- |
Therefore, in line with the market practices, duly delimited in the documents and meeting the purpose of providing greater attractiveness to the divestment process, the provision for the possibility of entering an earn out clause in the purchase and sale agreement seems appropriate.
Finally, we emphasize that the provisions for the earn out mechanism can be simple, with no need for greater complexity for the calculation of the amount to be paid, provided they are sufficient to prevent an interpretation different from that intended.
For example, it is possible to provide for the payment of a pre-stipulated fixed amount: “if the average power generated by the [SPC] for financial years 2020 thru 2022 is higherthan the average generated between financial years 2016 thru 2018, the Buyer shall pay, to the Seller, in addition to the PurchasePrice, an amount of R$ Brazilian Reais*[=], to be restated according to the variation of the Selic rate between the dateof execution of the Agreement and the business day immediately prior to the actual payment, by [=] days from the date of receiptof the notice to be sent by the Buyer to the Seller, informing the average power generated in financial year 2022. In order tocalculate the annual average, the Buyer undertakes to send the Seller a report on the power generated by [=] after the end of eachfinancial year”.*
In case it is more convenient and appropriate, it is possible to provide for the payment of an amount in percentage or proportional to the positive variation of the verified average. For example: “The Buyer undertakes to pay, to the Seller, in addition to the Purchase price, an amount of up to R$ Brazilian Reais*[=]if the average total unavailability (scheduled and unscheduled) observed from 2020 thru 2022 is lower than that observed from 2016thru 2018. In order to calculate the amount to be paid, the percentage of the unavailability verified between 2020 and 2022, includingthe latter, in relation to the unavailability verified between 2016 and 2018, including the latter, must be calculated. The amountto be paid will be reached by applying the formula [deduction of the difference in percentage between that verified in the twobase periods multiplied by the reference value. For example, if the unavailability was 20%, 80% of the indicated amount must bepaid], and the result must be restated according to the variation in the Selic rate between the date of execution of the Agreementand the business day immediately prior to the actual payment. The payment must be made within [=] from the date of receipt of thenotice to be sent by the Buyer to the Seller, informing the total unavailability in financial year 2022.*
There is not a standard which is necessarily more appropriate, leaving the parties some space for negotiation, in compliance with a clear enough definition to prevent future disputes.
**VII.**Other General Considerations
Initially, as briefly mentioned in Chapter II, contrary to what happened at the B3 Auction, Eletrobras expressly admitted, in accordance with Clause 12.1.2., that the bidders suggested changes in relation to (a) the sale price of the asset; (b) percentages applicable for the payment of the first and second installments for the liquidation of the sale price; and (iii) including an earn out requirement in the asset price.
| Page 177 |
| --- |
At the time of the B3 Auction, no material changes to the Agreement were allowed, considering the specific regulation applicable.
For these divestments regulated by the regime of the Decree, only the material changes listed above will be allowed, in line with the sole paragraph of art. 30. Such modifiable clauses may be rated as eminently negotiable within the scope of a competitive sales procedure, not strictly representing a breach of isonomy or any other expedient that disqualifies the selection of bidders.
In addition, there are some additional obligations provided for in the Agreement, which were already included in the agreement draft attached to the public notice of the B3 Auction. From among such obligations, the following may be emphasized:
(a) Preservation of Structures and Competitive Conditions until the Obtainment of CADE's Approval: this is a regulatory obligation, provided for in CADE’s Resolution No. 20/2017^78^. Such a provision provides that both the buyer and the Seller will not be able to perform acts within the scope of the sales operation and related to the SPC that start an actual transfer of management of the SPC to the buyer, such as adopting systems used by the buyer, electing managers appointed by the buyer, sending information of the SPC to the buyer, physical changes or transfers of assets occurring to start the process of transferring the SPC to the buyer, among others. Such a prohibition has the power to prevent the transfer from materially taking place before CADE’s approval, thus avoiding gunjumping practices.
(b) Conduct of the Companies’ Activities by the Closing Date: such obligation is enforceable against the Seller and determines that they must use their best efforts to maintain the activities of the SPEs in the normal course of business, i.e., use the usual levels and standards of diligence and activities which are required to achieve the corporate purpose, continuity of the activities of the SPEs in their usual standards, avoiding relevant changes or interruptions related to the nature, purpose, object and form of carrying out the usual activities and practices of the SPC.
^78^ Article 147, paragraph 2: The parties must keep the physical structures and competitive conditions unchanged until Cade’s final assessment, and any transfer of assets and any type of influence from one party to the other is prohibited, as well as the exchange of competitively sensitive information which is not strictly necessary for the execution of the formal instrument that binds the parties.
| Page 178 |
| --- |
(c) Change of Registrations: this is a measure to be implemented by the buyer. It concerns the obligation to change, in all registration systems (such as the Brazilian Federal Internal Revenue Service and the Board of Trade), the registrations, records and registers of the purchased SPEs to remove the references to the Seller as the holder of the shares which were sold, and also to exclude from the managers’ registers those appointed by the Seller and which have not been reappointed to the position by the buyer. The deadline for the implementation of such an action by the buyer is 90 days. If not performed within the deadline, the buyer must pay a daily fine in the amount of R$ 10,000.00 (ten thousand Brazilian Reais) until the date on which they meet such obligation. The purpose of the obligation is to prevent SPC registration information from becoming out of date, showing the Seller as a shareholder, which could cause them some inconveniences such as being summoned in lawsuits in which the SPC and/or their shareholders are defendants, as an example.
(d) Replacement of Guarantees: such an obligation relates to the need for the buyer to replace all guarantees eventually provided by the Seller in agreements entered into by the SPEs or which purpose is the SPC’s activities. The purpose of such an obligation is to prevent the Seller from being the guarantor of the SPC’s obligations after having sold their shares. The buyer has up to 60 days to replace the guarantees provided by the Seller. Whereas the replacement of the guarantees depends on the consent of the counterparty in the agreements in relation to which the Seller is the guarantor, the Agreement provides for the possibility, if they cannot obtain the consent of the counterparty – which must be demonstrated by the buyer by sending the counterparty’s written negative response – of them keeping the guarantee granted by the Seller for 180 days from the execution of the Agreement (120 beyond the deadline for replacing the guarantees), and they must pay, as compensation, the monthly amount of 1% of the total guarantee granted by the Seller, and also offer a counter-guarantee to the Seller within the same terms, amounts and conditions of the guarantee provided by them. If, at the end of the additional 120-day period, the Buyer has not managed to replace the guarantees provided by the Seller, they must, within 30 days, make the prepayment of such agreement or terminate it beforehand, with no cost to the Seller, in order to release the guarantee provided by them. The purpose of such a provision is to prevent the Seller from remaining as the guarantor of an obligation with which they are no longer related whatsoever. The enforcement of such additional periods is intended to prevent that, if the buyer does not obtain the consent of the counterparty, they need to pay the agreement in advance in an extremely short period, providing them with a period to negotiate the replacement of the guarantees, with the proper compensation, to the Seller, for keeping the guarantees provided by them.
| Page 179 |
| --- |
**VIII.**Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, it may be seen that the Agreement follows the same grounds as the agreement prepared at the time of the Auction, the main difference being the inclusion of the possibility of entering an earn out mechanism as part of the price to be paid by the buyer.
In addition, as emphasized in Chapter II, it will be necessary to amend Clause 3.1. to reflect the fact that the restatement of the amount between the date of payment of the first installment and the date of payment of the second installment will be 110% of the Selic rate, and no longer 100%, which represents a beneficial change for Eletrobras.
Also, based on the most relevant liability and obligations clauses, it may be seen that the Agreement was designed in order to mitigate risks for Eletrobras, providing them with greater security. Such a conclusion stems from the verification of facts such as the adoption of mode “sold with everything inside”, the limitation of cases of early termination, mostly provided only to Eletrobras, and the limitation of cases of indemnity and the enforcement of a punitive fine, which are broader for the buyer and very limited for Eletrobras.
In any case, the buyer’s consent to negotiate the price provides them with the possibility of equalizing the risks with the price offered by the asset, which must be accepted by the Assessment Committee and, subsequently, by the Seller’s competent authority. Therefore, with the possibility of negotiation by the bidders, we believe that the fact that the contractual provisions are more protective towards Eletrobras does not hamper the competitiveness of the sales proceedings.

Having nothing further to address for the moment, we are at your full disposal to provide any additional clarifications which may be necessary.
