7. CLARIFICATIONS OF THE BOARD’S CHAIRMAN: Before proceeding with the deliberations, the following clarifications were given by the Board’s Chairman:

 

7.1. The Company's managers, in compliance with their fiduciary duties, recommended the approval of Items 1 to 6 of this agenda, involving the extension of the term for the transfer of the controlling interest of Eletrobras Distribution Companies, provided, in the act of this meeting, on a cumulative basis (i) that the Granting Authority has ensured that the funds required to operate, maintain and make investments connected to the provision of the public utility service by the respective distribution company are ensured by the tariff and/or by the Federal Government and/or Sectoral Funds, keeping the economic and financial balance over the entire appointment period, since August 5, 2016, without any disbursement of funds by Eletrobras; (ii) that the hypothesis provided for in Article 5, Item III, of Decree 9,192/2017 has been precluded; (iii) exclusively for Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia S.A., which has been recognized by law, by administrative or regulatory via, the full reimbursement by CDE/CCC of the costs connected to the gas supply agreement No. OC-1902/2006 and amendments, in order to guarantee it is not burdensome, according to Law No. 12,111/2009.

 

7.2. In this context, it is confirmed to the Company’s shareholders that, although MME Ordinance No. 301 does not ensure neutrality for the entire appointment period, in interactions with the Ministry of Mines and Energy - MME, the latter expressed the understanding that such neutrality is ensured by Law 12,783. However, it should be made clear to the shareholders that the MME ordinances (388 and 301), as well as the Aneel Resolution 748, established requirements not foreseen in the law that ended up making it difficult for the distribution companies to receive the funds. MME, the Granting Authority, recognizes that the law ensures neutrality, but, in practice, the receipt of funds is hampered by the new criteria set out by the MME ordinances and the ANEEL Resolution. In this sense, the Eletrobras’ Management Proposal also asserts that the Company will seek, through administrative procedures and/or before court, the economic and financial neutrality of the entire appointment period, as set forth in Article 9, Paragraph One, jointly with Article 10, Item II of Law 12,783; (ii) that there was no levy, up to the moment, of the frustrated auction hypothesis established by Article 5, III of Decree 9,192/17, given that the CEPISA auction, held on July 26, 2018, owing to the winning bid of Equatorial, while the remaining will be performed only on August 30, 2018, except for CEAL, postponed without setting a date, by virtue of a court order of STF (Federal Supreme Court) in ACO 3,132/DF; (iii) that there is no guarantee of no burdensome nature for the gas supply agreement No. OC-1902/2006, given non-conversion into Law of the Draft Bill 10,332/2018, although already approved in the Chamber of Deputies, as well as the non-assignment of such agreement, from Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia S.A. to Amazonas Geração e Transmissão de Energia S.A., owing to the non-acceptance of Cigás until the present moment (still under negotiation).

8.3. Acknowledging that Fundo de Investimento em Ações Dinâmica Energia and Banclass Fundo de Investimento em Ações submitted their statement of vote on the matters on the agenda, according to the document attached to these minutes.

 

8.4.
