MATERIAL FACT

 

 

CPFL Energia S.A. (CPFE3) (“CPFL Energia” or “Company”), in conformity with Article 157 of Federal Law 6.404/76 (“Brazilian Corporation Law”), with Instruction 358/02 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (“CVM”), hereby, in accordance with its Material Fact Disclosure Policy and in compliance with Official Letter 153/2017/CVM/SRE/GER-1 (“Letter”), sent on June 12, 2017 by the CVM to Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., with copy to the Company, announces to its shareholders and the general market the contents of the Letter:

 

 

“Dear Managers,

 

 

1. With regard to the notice filed by the CVM on February 22, 2017, in connection with the request for registration of the public stock tender offer (“Unified Tender Offer” or “Offer”) of CPFL Energia S.A. ("Company"), unifying the tender offers for transfer of control, for cancelation of registration (to convert from category A to category B) and for delisting from the Novo Mercado listing segment of BM&FBOVESPA S.A.

 

2. In this regard, considering that (i) the “direct or indirect transfer of control of a publicly held corporation may be contracted only under the condition, precedent or subsequent, that the acquirer undertakes to carry out a public stock tender offer for all voting shares held by the other shareholders of the company (…),” pursuant to the head paragraph of Article 254-A of Brazilian Corporation Law; (ii) Paragraph 2, Article 29 of CVM Instruction 361/01 establishes the term of 30 days as from the execution of the final instrument for sale of the shares representing the controlling interest for presenting to the CVM the request for registration of the Tender Offer for transfer of control; and (iii) since the execution date of the final instrument in said case (January 23, 2017), 140 days have transpired, we order the filing with the CVM of the Company’s valuation report, in connection with the Unified Tender Offer or, alternatively, the filing of the documentation of the Offer amended to include only the tender offer for “transfer of control”.

 

3. We inform that the deadline for compliance with this Letter is July 12, 2017 and that response hereto should refer to CVM Case 19957.001663/2017-27.

 

 

 

 


 
 

 

4. Lastly, we request that the Company immediately publish the contents hereof, in accordance with its information disclosure policy.”
