        As there was no election for the vacancy to preferred shareholders at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 04.29.2016, if the Company will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting of call ("EGM") for election members of the Board of Directors, it is requested, since now, the inclusion of the above-mentioned candidate's name on the list of candidates submitted by Eletrobras, so that the market take knowledge of the statement of shareholders when the Convocation occurs.

 


 
 

 

 

 

It should be noted that this election aims to enable brazilian investors and non-residents may use properly their right to vote. Therefore, it is necessary that the Company disclose the Circular Letter mentioned above.

 

        Similarly, should be registered, in particular, the importance of communicating the application to representatives of ADRs investors, with the specific measure contained in the Company Proxy Card, so that their holders can vote for any of the candidates, including that indicated by minority shareholders, which was not allowed in the 2016 AGM.

 

Finally, it states that all communications may be made in writing and delivered by e-mail or mail with proof of receipt, at the address below.
