In this sense, Eletrobras informs that the broker-dealer of its shares, namely, Banco Bradesco S.A.  ("Bookkeeping Agent"), under the terms of an agreement entered into with the Company, will receive the voting ballot in its network of bank branches spread throughout the national territory, observing the procedures established by the Written Agent. The shareholders or their representatives shall go to any bank branch of the Bookkeeping Agent, with a valid original identification document containing photograph and, in case of shareholders considered legal entities and/or represented by an attorney-in-fact, the competent representation documents shall 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 Bulletins, the shareholders of the Company may also, at their exclusive discretion, send the Voting Bulletin directly to such agents.

 

Also, pursuant to CVM Instruction 481, shareholders who so wish may also forward the Voting Bulletin directly to the Company and, in this case, should abide by the following rules:

 

(i)           The Voting Ballot will only be received when it is sent physically, by post, addressed to the Investor Relations Department of the Company, located in the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, at Avenida Presidente Vargas, 196, Centro, 9th floor, ZIP CODE: 20.091- 005 or when sent by e-mail to the following e-mail address: ombudsman- [email protected], and the originals, in the latter case, should be forwarded to the Company before the scheduled date for the Extraordinary General Meeting called hereunder;

(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, thus in compliance with the requirements and formalities referred to in item 1.i above.

 

The Voting Ballot that is sent directly to the Company and is unaccompanied by the documentation necessary to prove the condition of shareholder, or to prove its representation will not be considered valid, and, as a consequence, will not be processed by the Company. However it may be, corrected and resubmitted by the shareholder to the Company, in compliance with the terms and procedures established in CVM Instruction No. 481.

 

The Voting Ballot received by the Custodian Agent, the Custody Agent (as the case may be) and/or by the Company up to 7 (seven) days prior to the date of the Shareholder’s Meeting pursuant to Article 21-B of CVM Instruction 481.

2.         Business to be deliberated at the Extraordinary General Meeting hereby called

 

This Management Proposal seeks to provide the Shareholders with the necessary information to enable them to resolve on the transfer of all shares representing the share capital of Amazonas Geração e Transmissão de Energia S.A (hereinafter referred to as AmGT) to Eletronorte.

 

 

2.1 History

 

Eletrobras’2018-2022 Business and Management Steering Plan (“PDNG”) established in its financial discipline item the corporate restructuring of Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia S.A (“Amazonas Energia”), through the divestiture of distribution activities, thus transferring AmGT shares belonging to Amazonas Energia to Eletrobras. In addition, the PDNG established that an assessment should be performed concerning the corporate alternatives for Amazonas GT.

 

A first stage, namely, the divesture of Amazonas Energia was completed and Amazonas Energia privatized. In this sense, on March 1, 2018, the Private Instrument of Donation in Payment and Other Agreements was executed between Eletrobras and Amazonas Energia, aiming at concluding the divesture. Based on Deloitte’s valuation report, the donation in payment amount was BRL 2.86 Billion, but with termination conditions connected to the full assignment of the Natural Gas Sales Agreement executed by and between CIGÁS – Companhia de Gás do Amazonas and Amazonas Energia, to AmGT. The execution of the Assignment Instrument happened on April 30, 2018.

 

On August 21, 2018, the National Electric Energy Agency - ANEEL, through Order No. 1.885, deemed that Amazonas Energia and AmGT met the requirements of submission of documentation referred to under Paragraph § 2 of Article 3 of Authorization Resolution No. 4.244, dated July 16, 2013, which consented with the divesture of Amazonas Energia.

 

As part of its Strategic Operational Excellence effort, the 2019-2023 PDNG established a corporate restructuring of regional subsidiaries as a strategy aiming at more operational, economic and financial and corporate synergy among Eletrobras Companies, expressly naming the companies Eletronorte and AmGT.

 

In order to continue the corporate restructuring process, Eletronorte and AmGT executed a letter of intent for access and sharing of information necessary for AmGT’s assessments, due diligence and valuation, as well as shared use of said valuation between Eletrobras and Eletronorte.

 

In this sense, Deloitte was hired to perform the above assessments as an independent consultant and there was an agreement between Eletrobras and Eletronorte that both would validate the results presented by Deloitte and use them for the asset transaction (Amazonas GT’s shares).

 

The due diligence report produced by Deloitte as well as the valuation report are part of this proposal as Annexes 01 and 02 respectively. 

 

 

 

8


 
 

2.2. Debt with Eletronorte

 

Within the scope of the process of privatization of distribution companies then controlled by Eletrobras, the shareholders of Eletrobras, by means of the 170th EGM, approved the modeling for sale, as well as the assumption of the distribution company debts, by means of their capitalization, as defined by CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017, and amendments.

 

Thus, part of the of the debts of Ceron and Boa Vista Energia, assumed by Eletrobras, were debts that such distribution companies had with Eletronorte as a result of purchase of electric energy. As a result, Eletrobras now owes Eletronorte.

 

On October 30, 2018, Eletrobras assumed R$ 2,609,490,507.00 (Two Billion, Six Hundred Nine Million, Four Hundred Ninety Thousand, Five Hundred and Seven Reais) of Ceron's debt with Eletronorte and, on December 10, 2018, assumed R$ 283,761,153.00 (Two Hundred and Eighty-three Million, seven hundred sixty one Thousand, one Hundred and fifty three Reais) of the debt of Boa Vista Energia with Eletronorte, totaling R$ 2,893,251,660.00 (Two Billion, Eight Hundred Ninety-three Million, two hundred fifty One Thousand, six hundred sixty Reais) in debts due to Eletronorte assumed by Eletrobras.

 

Such debt with Eletronorte is adjusted based on Selic, thus the table below shows the evolution of the outstanding balance:

 

BRL thousand

 

Assumption Date

31/12/2018

9/30/20191

CERON - (Assure on 10/30/2018)

2,609,490.5

2,648,971.2

2,771,274.9

BOA VISTA (Assumption on 12/10/2018)

300,340.7

TOTAL

2,893,251.7

2,936,049.5

3,071,615.6

 

Thus, the datio in solutum reviewed hereunder is important to settle the debt of Eletrobras with Eletronorte, thus ending the financial cost with the carryover of the said debt.

 

 

2.3. Valuation of AmGT

 

All assumptions and explanations regarding AmGT's Valuation, prepared by consulting firm Deloitte, are detailed in technical note IT DFPI-023/2019 (Annex 03), as well as Deloitte's own valuation (Annex 02). The result obtained is presented in the following table:

 

BRL thousand

Cash Flow at Present Value

Economic Adjustments

-2,540,248

Working Capital Settlement

Residual Amount / Sale of Assets

554,524

Economic Value

3,130,227

 

 

2.4. Donation in Payment

 

If the matter of this management proposal is approved, the transfer of AmGT’s shares from Eletrobras to Eletronorte will be made through Donation in Payment, where Eletrobras will pay off its debt to Eletronorte, transferring all AmGT shares to Eletronorte.

 

9


 
 

 

All other conditions of this operation are detailed in the Contract of Donation in Payment and Other Agreements (Annex 09).

 

The table below shows the composition of amounts involved in the transaction on the base date of December 31, 2018:

 

 

 

 

AmGT Amount:

          3,130,227,000.0

 

 

Debt Balance on 12/31/2018

2,936,049,450.3

Cash amount to be paid by ELN

194,177,549.7

 

 

The amounts shown in the table above will be adjusted until the actual transfer date of the shares as follows:

 

- Balance of Eletrobras’ Debt with Eletronorte: Adjusted based on SELIC;

 

- AmGT Amount: The following adjustments will be made (i) between the valuation base date (namely 12/31/2018) and the last audited financial statement (quarterly or annual) by AmGT’s variation in Net Equity; and (ii) between the last audited financial statement and the actual transfer of shares. The amount will by adjusted by the SELIC rate.

 

- Cash amount to be paid by Eletronorte: Difference between AmGT’s value and Debt amount with Eletronorte, adjusted on the transfer date, as mentioned above.

 

2.5. Cash amount to be paid by Eletronorte:

 

Considering that there is a difference between the balance of AmGT amounts and the debt due to Eletronorte, and AmGT’s amount exceeds the debt due by Eletrobras to Eletronorte, Eletronorte shall pay the residual amount, observing all the provisions of item 2.4 above, under the following conditions:

 

Conditions: Payment in currency:

Payment Deadline: On the share transfer date.

 

If, after restatement the resulting amount is lower than the debt, the difference will remain as a balance due by Eletrobras to Eletronorte, under the same conditions as the current agreement.

 

 

2.6. Non-application of article 253, I, of Law 6,404/76

 

 

We inform that the provisions of article 253, I, of Law 6,404/76 will not apply, since AmGT was not converted into a wholly-owned subsidiary by means of a merger of shares, which, according to the most recent decisions of the CVM Board, would dismiss the requirement to grant right of first refusal to Eletrobras' shareholders as set forth in said Law.

2.7 Benefits, risks and costs

 

 

Benefits

 

·                  The datio in solutum will equate Eletrobras’ debt with Eletronorte, thus ending the financial cost with the carryover of the said debt, by Selic;

·                  Synergy between AmGT and Eletronorte and operational and administrative efficiency (as per Annex 04); and

·                  Consolidated Tax Efficiency, as Eletronorte currently collects PIS and Cofins on financial expenses arising from Eletrobras’ debt, even without actual receipt.

 

 

Costs

 

·                  Eletrobras will be responsible for payment of withholding income tax, levied on the portion of interest incorporated to the outstanding debt balance, as per item 7.1 of NT technical note IT DFPI-023/2019 (Annex 03);

·                  In item 5.1.2 of the Datio in Solutum and Other Agreements Contract Draft (Annex 09), if within 6 (six) months from the actual transfer of controlling interest, losses or gains actually incurred by Amazonas GT are recognized and no longer recorded in the balance sheet of Amazonas GT and that exceed 10% (ten percent) of the final value of the transaction, the Parties undertake, in respect of such amount, in the proportion of 50% (fifty percent) for each, except for the amounts of corrections already included in the due diligence and reflected in the valuation and those set forth in the Clause 3.3.1. The losses or gains dealt with in this clause shall be due to a triggering event prior to the transfer of the controlling interest of Amazonas GT to Eletronorte;

 

·                  The matter was approved by the National Electric Energy Agency - Aneel, via order 3189, of November 14, 2019 (Annex 05). A period of 120 days from the publication of said order for implementation was granted. If the operation is not completed within this period, further approval will be required.

1.   PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this report is to present the results of AmGT’s Valuation performed by Deloitte, which will be used as the basis for the transfer of the shares owned by Eletrobras in AmGT to Eletronorte, by Datio in Solutum, as established under RES-876/2018 dated December 10, 2018.

 

2.   DISCLAIMER/RELEVANT POINTS

 

It should be noted that the economic and financial forecasts in this IT have estimates. Such estimates do not stand as statements that they shall become true or be accomplished in the future, rather, they mean they reflect beliefs and expectations based on the best information available for Eletrobras at the time of valuation.

Lastly, it should be noted that all valuation efforts carried out may stand as uncertain estimates and projections on future events, according to the Securities Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

3.   HISTORY

 

Eletrobras 2018-2022 PDNG estimated, in its financial discipline item, under 4b effort, the corporate restructuring of Amazonas Energia, through the divestiture of Amazonas D - AmD, thus transferring AmGT shares belonging to AmD to Eletrobras. In addition, the Plan established that an assessment should be performed concerning the corporate alternatives for Amazonas GT.

 

In turn, 2019-2023 PDNG, within its Strategic Operational Excellence effort, pointed out to the Corporate Synergy of Regional Subsidiaries as a strategy for operational improvement, and referred to the corporate restructuring of Eletrosul and CGTEE, as well as that of AmGT and Eletronorte.

 

On March 01, 2018, the Private Instrument of Datio in Solutum and Other Agreements was executed between Eletrobras and AmD, aiming at concluding the divesture. The amount of the datio in solutum, based on the valuation report of Deloitte, was BRL 2.86 Billion, although with the termination conditions connected to the full assignment of the gas agreement

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

 

The Datio instrument had a termination condition under its Clause Six, which was the execution of the Full Assignment Agreement of the Natural Gas Sale Agreement entered into by and between CIGÁS and AmD, on June 1, 2006, for Amazonas GT. The execution of the Assignment Instrument happened on April 30, 2018.

On August 21, 2018, the National Electric Energy Agency - ANEEL, through Order No. 1885, deemed that AmD and AmGT net the requirements of submission of documentation referred to under Paragraph § 2 of Article 3 of Authorization Resolution No. 4244, dated July 16, 2013, which consented with the divesture of AmD.

Subsequent to the conclusion of the divesture process, RES No. 632/2018, dated March 9, 2018, created a Working Group (GT) to evaluate the joint activities of the companies Amazonas Geração e Transmissão (AmGT) and Eletronorte (ELN), aiming to introduce the modeling alternatives and their advantages and disadvantages.

As a result of this work, the said GT identified that the operation of transfer of all AmGT shares, owned by Eletrobras, to Eletronorte, with takeover after the tax benefit, would be the most recommended owing to the potential for reducing of management costs beyond gains from operational synergy between the companies.

Based on the conclusions of GT, the Executive Board of Eletrobras, by means of RES-876/2018 dated December 10, 2018, resolved:

 

1.                   to approve the GT Report created by RES.DEE 632/2018 that evaluated the technical and economic/financial feasibility of the joining of the activities of AmE GT and Eletronorte, and extinguish GT;

2.                   to approve the joining of the activities of AmE GT and Eletronorte in two phases: (1) operation transfer of the shares representing the Capital of Amazonas Geração e Transmissão de Energia SA – AmE GT, from Eletrobras to Eletronorte, through Datio in Solutum of the shares representing the Capital of AmE GT, using as consideration the debts assumed by Eletrobras with Eletronorte arising from the adjustments required by Resolution CPPI 20, and subsequent amendments, within the scope of the privatization process of CERON and Boa Vista Energia, and (2) the takeover of AmE GT by Eletronorte;

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

 

 

3.                   To approve, as a reference value for the datio in solutum transaction, the amount of BRL 2,866,831,000.00 resulting from the valuation DTT used as the basis of the decision-making process of the AmE GT Divestiture, approved on March 1, 2018, which should be updated;

4.                   To authorize the contracting of the valuation update, by an independent consultant, in order to price the final amount of the datio in solutum transaction, to be approved by the Eletrobras and Eletronorte governance bodies, which shall be carried out prior to the convening of the Eletrobras AGE, which shall deliberate on the matter;

 

5.               To order that the takeover of AmE GT by Eletronorte happens by the second half of 2020;

 

In order to continue the process and operationalize the decision of the Board of Eletrobras, Eletrobras, Eletronorte and AmGT executed a letter of intent for access and sharing of information necessary for AmGT’s assessments, due diligence and valuation, as well as shared use of said valuation between Eletrobras and Eletronorte.

Deloitte was hired to perform the above assessments as an independent consultant and there was an agreement between Eletrobras and Eletronorte that both would validate the results presented by Deloitte and use them for the asset transaction.

On October 2, Deloitte delivered the final valuation report, as well as the due diligence reports. The results presented by Deloitte shall be stated by the end of this Technical Note.

This matter shall be addressed only in the first stage of the corporate structuring approved by DEE, which is the transfer of the shares representing the Capital of AmGT, pf Eletrobras to Eletronorte, by means of Datio in Solutum using as consideration the debts assumed by Eletrobras with Eletronorte arising from the adjustments required by Resolution CPPI 20, and subsequent amendments, within the scope of the privatization process of CERON and Boa Vista Energia. The takeover of AmGT by Eletronorte shall be subsequently addressed when the tax credits of AmGT finish.

4.   DEBT WITH ELETRONORTE

 

Within the scope of the process of privatization of Distribution Companies, the shareholders of Eletrobras, by means of the 170th AGE, approved the modeling for sale, as well as the assumption of the distribution company debts, by means of their capitalization, as defined by CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017, and amendments.

Thus, part of the assumption of the debts of CERON and Boa Vista were the debts that such distribution companies had with Eletronorte. On October 30, 2018, Eletrobras assumed BRL 2,609,490,507.00 with Ceron and, on December 10, 2018, it assumed BRL 283,761,153 with Boa Vista, amounting to BRL 2,893,251,660 of assumption.

Such debt with Eletronorte is adjusted based on Selic, thus the table below shows the evolution of the outstanding balance:

4.1       DEBT CARRYOVER COST

 

According to the table below, it can be seen that from the date of assumption of debt (October 30, 2018) to the last position (September 30, 2019) there was a debt carryover cost of BRL 176 million to Eletrobras.

5.   VALUATION OF AMGT - DELOITTE

 

5.1       PROVISIONAL MEASURE NO. 855/2018

 

In November 2018, the Federal Government issued Provisional Measure No. 855 (“MP 855”), which directly impacted AmGT’s thermal power plants. MP 855 allowed the advance of AmGT’s energy delivery obligation, using to supply the contract, the power plants available for generation, and that had contracts terminated, by allowing the operation of the units after the termination of the contracts.

Also over the term of MP, AmGT took the necessary measures to implement with ANEEL the contracts and authorizations of the Agency that were provided for under MP. Thus, even with the expiry of MP, which was not converted into Law, because the acts were performed over the effectiveness of MP, they are valid and are not impacted by such expiry. The following acts were performed, and used as a premise in modeling:

·        Extension of UTE Aparecida authorization until 2030;

·        Use of Aparecida and the 5 PIE’s (Ponta Negra, Manauara, Cristiano Rocha, Tambaqui and Jaraqui) to advance the CCEAR energy sale agreement of Mauá 3, given that PIE’s only perform energy sale under such agreement as of 2025, year in which they are transferred to AmGT;

·        Advance of the termination of CCEAR from Mauá 3 to 2030, concurrently with the termination of the gas contract;

·        AmGT has waived the rights corresponding to the excess energy portion, which is not traded by the advance of the agreement with Aparecida and PIE’s.

 

5.2       GENERAL PREMISES

 

·        Base Date: December 2018;

·        AmGT was evaluated by the Income Approach methodology, based on discounted cash flow to present value, and the cash flow projections generated by its operations include the period from January 1, 2019 to November 30, 2030 (year in which the gas contract expires);

 

 

Classification: Confidential

Page 7


 
 
 

Date: 11/05/2019

 

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

 

·        The projections were made based on information from AmGT’s current contracts, historical management results and the Company’s Business Plan, provided by Eletronorte and AmGT Managements;

·        The projected sums ​are presented in nominal terms, i.e., include the inflation expectation for the projection period;

·        Amounts are expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (BRL Thousand), unless otherwise stated;

·        This assessment considers only the projection of operating results “Debt-Free” model);

·        To calculate the present value, the half-rate convention was adopted, under the premise that AmGT cash flow is evenly generated throughout the year;

·        For the estimate the economic value of AmGT, the following cash-generating units (CGU’s) were considered: UTE Mauá 3, Balbina HPP, UTE Aparecida, PIE’s Complex, Complexo Interior, Transmission and Corporate. The Corporate CGU covers the operation of UTE Coari and PIE’s until May 2025;

·        Except for UTE Mauá 3 and the Complexo PIE’s, all AmGT  units are contractually entitled to receive the residual value connected to the total non-depreciation of assets at the end of their concession period. However, owing to the difficulty estimating decommissioning, demobilization and environmental liabilities costs at the end of operations, except for UTE Mauá 3, residual values ​​were not considered under the premise that they would be offset by such costs, as discussed with the Company’s Management;

·        Considering the recent construction of UTE Mauá 3, at the end of the operation in November 2030, its assets will still be in operational condition. Thus, the sale of the asset at its book value in the period was considered as premise, as discussed with the Company’s Management;

·        For the Transmission, the sale of the assets in March 2020 was considered through the auction scheduled for December 2019, as reported by the Company’s Management. As the amount received for the sale, the amount reported in the Transmission Asset Valuation Report provided by AmGT on the base date of May 2018 and adjusted for inflation until March 2020 was applied. In addition, the depreciated accounting balance of investments made after May 2018 and assets classified as “LT Balbina/Manaus CD 230 KV” was considered, given moreover that they were not considered in the Valuation Report, as informed by the Company’s Management;

5.8         FUEL

 

AmGT has a natural gas purchase agreement, which contracts a total volume of

5,420 thousand m³ per day for its operation.

 

The contract has a Take or Pay character at 70% of daily volume (3.8 million m³/day) and an annual volume of 80% of daily volume (4.3 million m³/day).

 

The price of cubic m³ is segregated into five portions, namely molecule, distribution margin, transport, taxes and outlet cable, the last one being applied only to the volume directed to Complexo PIEs due to the compensation, by means of the natural gas tariff, of investments in thermoelectric outlet cables required for the delivery of gas to the PIEs Complex.

The price projection of m³ of gas was made according to the prices on the base date reported by AmGT’s Management, which were adjusted annually based on the IPCA projection on the base date.

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

 

 

The projected consumption in m³ of gas was calculated based on the volume dispatched in MWh, multiplied by the specific Heat Rate of each thermal power plant.

For the total amount considered as fuel cost, the discount derived from the Amount Paid and Not Withdrawn (QPNR) was applied, which was accumulated in moments of gas consumption below 50% of the contracted volume. AmGT’s QPNR balance at the base date is 588,205 million m³.

The discount derived from QPNR was calculated by deducting from the monthly volume consumed by the total AmGT in m³ that exceeded the minimum of 70% established under the contract.

Reimbursement by Fuel Consumption Account (CCC)

 

As reported by AmGT Management, the Company receives coverage from the Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) through the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE) of part of the fuel cost, and is reimbursed with the amounts paid relating to the transport installments and margin distribution.

 

The reimbursement received by AmGT from the transport and gas distribution margin portions also provides that any portion of PIS/Cofins and ICMS credit that is not used in the AmGT operation will also be reimbursed, according to premises discussed with the Company’s Management.

 

5.9          PMSO

 

PMSO projections were handled separately between AmGT’s generating units.

 

Generation

 

Regarding the projection of costs and expenses with personnel and social charges, materials and products, outsourced services and other operating expenses (PMSO), for the period from 2019 to 2023, the amounts were considered as expected by the Company’s Management, which include forecasting the impact of the Voluntary Dismissal Program (POS) between 2019 and 2020. Additionally, PMSO projections include maintenance and overhaul cycles of the power plants.

 

From 2024 until the end of the AmGT concession (November 30, 2030), personnel costs and social charges were calculated based on the 2023 projection adjusted annually using the IPCA projection on the base date.

With regard to Balbina HPP, despite its operations ending on February 28, 2027, the maintenance of personnel and social charges until the end of AmGT operations was considered.

 

 

For costs with Materials and Products, Third Party Services and Other Operating Expenses from 2024 to the end of the respective operations of the units, we adopted the average margins on the net revenue from 2019 to 2023, in order to capture the cycles of maintenance and overhaul stated under such entries and designed by the Company.

 

 

Additionally, as reported by AmGT Management, the operations of the PIEs and Aparecida generating units are similar to each other. Thus, for PMSO projections of PIEs after May 31, 2025, the same ratio of expenses by power was used, except for personnel costs and social charges, which considered the inflation adjustment based on the IPCA index.

 

Transmission

 

For the period from 2019 to 2023, the amounts ?were adopted according to expectations presented in the Company’s PDG.

 

Corporate

 

For PMSO costs connected to Corporate, the expectations of AmGT Management presented in the Company’s PDG, which covers the period from 2019 to 2023, were considered.

 

 

From 2024 until the end of the AmGT concession (November 30, 2030), the 2023 amounts ?annually adjusted based on the IPCA projection on the base date were considered.

5.11       DISCOUNT RATE

 

On September 16, 2019, Eletrobras’ Executive Board approved the new discount rate for the Eletrobras System through Resolution No. 644/2019. As the transaction is between the same group, Deloitte used the Eletrobras System discount rate.

6.1            VALIDATION OF DELOITTE’S RESULT

 

The assumptions used by Deloitte for AmGT valuation were reviewed and validated by Eletrobras technical areas. In addition, DFPI has analyzed Deloitte’s economic and financial model and is in accordance with the modeling and methodology used. Accordingly, DFPI approves the use of the Deloitte assessment for AmGT’s datio in solutum transaction to Eletronorte.

 

7.   DATION IN SOLUTUM

 

As approved by resolution RES-876/2018 dated December 10, 2018, the transfer of AmGT’s shares from Eletrobras to Eletronorte will be made through Datio in Solutum, where Eletrobras will pay off its debt to Eletronorte, as explained under Item 4 of this IT, transferring all AmGT shares to Eletronorte.

 

 

 

 

Classification: Confidential

Page 18


 
 
 

Date: 11/05/2019

 

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

As the value of the shares, as a result of Deloitte’s valuation, is higher than the debt balance, Eletronorte will pay the difference in currency. The table below shows the composition of the amounts involved in the transaction on the base date of December 31, 2018:

 

   
  BRL thousand 
Amount of AmGT  3,130,227,000.0 
 
Debt Balance on 12/31/2018  2,936,049,450.3 
Cash amount to be paid by ELN  194,177,549.7 

 

 

Adjustments:

The amounts shown in the table above will be adjusted until the actual transfer date of the shares as follows:

 

-  Debt Balance: Adjusted based on SELIC;

 

-     AmGT Amount: Adjustment will be made between the valuation base date and the last audited financial statement (quarterly or annually) by AmGT’s variation in Net Equity. Between the date of the last audited financial statement and the actual transfer, the amount will be adjusted by SELIC.

 

-   Cash amount to be paid by Eletronorte: Difference between AmGT and Debt amount, adjusted on the transfer date.

 

7.1          TAX AND FISCAL IMPACTS OF OPERATION

 

The operation of transfer of shares by Datio in Solutum involves fiscal and tax aspects. In this sense, it was found that according to current tax laws, the payment of financial charges on loan operations, the person responsible for the payment of withholding income tax (IRRF) is the legal entity that makes the payment of yield.

 

It should be noted that IRRF accounts for an advance of the tax, from the point of view of the legal entity which is beneficiary of the yield. Thus, the amount of IRRF will be used by the beneficiary company as a credit to be deducted in the calculation of income tax levied on earnings (IRPJ). The Withholding Income Tax (IRRF) rate is defined based on the term of the transaction, as below (Article 45, IN RFB 1585/2015):

 

 

Classification: Confidential

Page 19


 
 
 

Date: 11/05/2019

 

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

 

 

·        22.5%, in applications with term up to 180 days;

·        20%, in applications with term from 181 days to 360 days;

·        17.5%, in applications with term from 361 days to 720 days;

·        15%, in applications with term above 720 days.

 

Article 47, Paragraph 4 (RFB Normative Instruction No. 1585/2015), defines that in the operations of loan of financial resources between legal entities or between legal entities and individuals in which the payment term is indefinite, the rate of income tax at source is 22.5%.

 

Considering the debt balance at September 30, 2019, as informed by DFF, of the total debt amount of BRL 3,071,616 thousand, BRL 176,034 thousand account for interest that was incorporated, as shown in the table already shown in Item 4.1. Accordingly, Eletrobras will pay the amount of BRL 36,607 thousand as income tax withheld at source. The settlement of the debt with Eletronorte is net of the applicable income tax, and Eletronorte is credited with this amount.

Eletronorte currently collects PIS and COFINS on financial expenses arising from Eletrobras’ debt to the latter, even without actual payment given that interest is being capitalized. Thus, Eletronorte does not receive payment of the principal and interest portion of the debt, and has to pay the federal income tax on the incorporated interest. With the operation in question, this tax inefficiency will cease.

 

7.2       BOOKKEEPING OF TRANSACTION

 

Given that there is a difference in the amount ascertained by the valuation and the book value of AmGT, there was need for analysis of the possibility of formation of goodwill and the way of accounting for the transaction.

 

 

Classification: Confidential

Page 20


 
 
 

Date: 11/05/2019

 

IT DFPI-023/2019

 

 

 

Accordingly, the Accounting Standards Department (DFCN) concluded that the appropriate accounting treatment is that any differences between the carrying amount and the transaction price should be allocated directly to the net equity of Eletrobras Holding and Eletronorte, specifically under the retained earnings and loss account, and there should be no effect on the income, nor goodwill formation in this intragroup transaction. Additionally, it should be noted that any effects on transactions between parent and subsidiary would naturally be offset in the business group by the equity method.

 

For instance, considering that the sale price of Amazonas GT to Eletronorte amounted to BRL 3,130,227 thousand and the net equity value of Amazonas GT amounted to BRL -50,136, we would have the following simulated impact that would ultimately generate a negative effect on Eletronorte’s net equity without impact on profit or loss.

8. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

 

Pursuant to the premises established, DFPI agrees with the amount of AmGT set by Deloitte to carry out the Datio in Solutum transaction with Eletronorte, thus carrying out the efforts necessary for the transfer of AmGT shares to Eletronorte, pursuant to decision of the Executive Board of Eletrobras based on RES-876/2018, and as set forth in the Company’s Strategic Planning.

1.   INTRODUCTION

The process of transfer of the controlling interest from Eletrobras Amazonas GT  to Eletronorte, for later merger into Eletronorte is in line with the Operational Excellence operating guideline established by the senior management in Eletrobras' strategic planning. In this regard, the Business and Management Master Plan (PDNG) 2019-2023 establishes the search for the corporate synergy of regional subsidiaries, with regard to operational, economic and financial and corporate aspects, and lists the corporate restructuring of Eletrosul and CGTEE, in addition to restructuring of Amazonas GT and Eletronorte among its goals. 

The works for the merger of the two companies were started at Eletrobras upon RES 632/2018, dated 09/03/2018 with the creation of a WG to evaluate the merger of the activities of the companies AmGT and Eletronorte.

The final report of the aforementioned WG was approved by the Resolution of the Executive Board of Eletrobras under No. RES-876/2018 and, in addition, this resolution approved the merger of the activities of AmGT and Eletronorte.

One of the activities required to complete this merger was the valuation of AmGT's assets. For such purpose, the consulting firm Deloitte, which was responsible for conducting the Due Diligence and valuation of  AmGT, was engaged.

The Generation Asset Expansion and Management Superintendence (DGE) was called, by the Advisory Board of the Generation Board on 05/07/2019, to monitor Deloitte's Due Diligence process in loco. This follow-up was carried out by the technicians assigned to the Generation Asset Management (DGEG) and Environment (DGEA), reporting to this superintendency, from May 13 to May 28, 2019. In addition to representatives of Eletrobras, technicians from Eletronorte attended this process.

The concluding Due Diligence results prepared by Deloitte were used in this document to support relevant information from the transfer of shareholding control from Amazonas GT to Eletronorte.

At last, on 11/19/2019, DGE received a request to prepare this Technical Note, entitled “Identification of Technical Benefits and Operating Synergies with the Transfer of Controlling Interest from Amazonas GT to Eletronorte”, to compose the necessary documentation for the Preparation of the Management Proposal of EGM 176 that will address the above topic.

2.   PURPOSE

The purpose of this Technical Note is to present the characteristics of the assets of the companies Amazonas GT and Eletronorte, opportunities for operational adjustments/improvements, as well as gains in scale and scope due to the diversification of the company's portfolio resulting from the process of merger of these two companies by transferring the shares owned by Eletrobras in Amazonas GT to Eletronorte, by Giving in Payment, as determined by the Resolution of Eletrobras Executive Board RES-876/2018 dated 12/10/2018.

3.   BUSINESS CHARACTERISTICS

 

3.1       Amazonas GT

Amazonas Geração e Transmissão de Energia S.A. – AmGT is one of the Eletrobras Group companies, created in April 2013, as a result of the unbundling of the company Amazonas Energia, due to the interconnection of Manaus to the National Interconnected System - SIN. The company is headquartered in Manaus-AM, focusing on the business of Generation, Transmission and Sale of Electricity.

In September 2014, ANEEL, under Resolution No. 4.836/2014, approved the segregation of Amazonas Energia's activities and, as a result, AmGT absorbed that company's Electricity Generation, Transmission and Sale activities.

 

 

3.1.1    Description of the Generation Facility

The composition of AmGT's generation portfolio includes corporate assets in water, fuel oil and gas thermal sources. In the thermal source, we highlight the Mauá 3 plant, combined cycle, whose first commercial operation order was issued by ANEEL in September 2017.

The following table provides a summary of generation assets, containing the most relevant technical information.

3.1.2    Investments of the Business and Management Master Plan (PDNG 2019-2023) - Amazonas GT

The current Business and Management Master Plan (PDNG) currently in force encompasses the investments planned for the 2019-2023 cycle. The figures presented by AmGT in PDNG 19-23 consider expenses required to invest in its generation assets, investments in reinforcements and improvements in transmission, as well as in its infrastructure over this period. Note that the investments refer only to corporate generation assets, since this company does not have any interest in SPE and the company does not have transmission concession, being only in charge of performing the operation and maintenance of these assets.

4.   TECHNICAL BENEFITS AND OPERATING SYNERGIES

4.1       Expansion of Eletronorte's Generation Asset Portfolio

The transfer of controlling interest from Amazonas GT to Eletronorte will increase Eletronorte's asset base, making it a more robust company, both from a technical and operational point of view.

Eletronorte currently has two thermal power plants in its generation facilities: TPP Araguaia (23.1 MW, diesel), located in the state of Mato Grosso, and TPP Senador Arnon Afonso Farias de Mello (85.99 MW, diesel), located in the state of Roraima. With the transfer, the company will be able to operate in the natural gas generation segment with the technical knowledge and experience previously acquired by AMGT, as a result of the recent implementation of TPP Mauá 3 and the operation of other gas thermal plants in its portfolio.

Following the transfer of controlling interest, Eletronorte will have a total of 22 generation assets (including corporate plants and interests in special purpose entities - SPE), totaling 12,731.38 MW of installed power capacity, consolidating itself as the second largest generator among the Eletrobras Companies. The 1,649.89 MW increase in installed power capacity represents an increase of 14.9% over Eletronorte's current installed power capacity. The assets will be distributed as shown below.

4.2       Strengthening of Eletronorte's Regional Presence in the North Region

The transfer of controlling interest of Amazonas GT will help Eletronorte to fulfill its original mission of “producing large-scale electricity in the Amazon region”, a role similar to that performed in other regions of the country by other Eletrobras Companies.

It should be considered that the expansion of generation in Brazil, among the various axes under discussion, involves the implementation of hydro power plants in the Amazon region and the implementation of natural gas thermal plants, both "opportunities" located/present in the North Region of the state.

Despite experiencing a troubled scenario with regard to the environmental licensing of new plants, the first axis is the technical domain of the current Eletronorte (historically through the construction of HPP Balbina and HPP Tucuruí until its equity interest in the two hydro power plants that recently entered commercial operation in the region - HPP Belo Monte and HPP Sinop). For the second axis, Amazonas GT has expertise not only evidenced in the recent implementation of TPP Mauá 3 but also in the operation of older plants, such as TPP Aparecida. The fusion of such knowledge, therefore, will strengthen the company's regional presence.

 

4.3       Operational Streamlining of Generation Assets

Eletronorte currently has an ongoing Systemic Team Training and Improvement Program, which aims, inter alia, to develop systems for certifying knowledge of the entire workforce and enable production teams to act systematically. The Program aims to enable the operation and maintenance of assets to work with local and corporate cores of skills, in an integrated and optimized manner (Systemic Teams).

These Systemic Teams seek to:

- Enhance the operational performance of Generation Plants;

- Reduce PMSO costs;

- Optimize the use of employee skills;

- Optimize the technical resources (test equipment, test, inventories, etc.); and

11


 
 

Classification: Public                                Technical Note DGEG-001/2019

- Operate and maintain current and new facilities in order to achieve high technical performance and maintain costs within established values in order to provide profits.

Currently, there are O&M professionals working in hydro power generation plants, thermal plants and providing O&M service to Norte Energia (HPP Belo Monte), with the potential to build a competent, agile and multifunctional technical team, providing the company with an increase in its level of competitiveness and efficiency. AMGT's operation and maintenance teams after transfer thereof to Eletronorte will be able to participate in this Plan, thus promoting notable gains in economies of scale and efficiency for the new company.

Additionally, considering that there are regional offices in the state of Amazonas, of both companies, there is room for streamlining in this regard, which should be studied considering the new portfolio of Eletronorte after the transfer and the recent remunerated dismissal plans.

 

4.4       New Business Prospects

The merged company following the transfer of controlling interest from Amazonas GT to Eletronorte will have a much broader perspective for entering new businesses than each company separately. This will happen not only because it will be a more capitalized company, but also due to its geographic coverage and spectrum of expertise in power generation technologies.

It should be noted that the lucrative and promising natural gas generation segment will be included in Eletronorte's portfolio and expertise following the transfer of AMGT, which in turn will have greater investment capacity. In parallel, note that both companies have decommissioned  thermal assets, which can be seen as new business opportunities to be modeled. The table below lists these assets per company:

In addition, note that the new company will have a clear competitive advantage if it is interested in participating in the transmission asset concession auctions that currently include AMGT's operation and maintenance services. The future scenario points to an alliance between Eletronorte's expertise in operation and maintenance of transmission assets and AMGT's specific knowledge of these assets to be auctioned. The auction is scheduled for the first half of 2020.

5.   CONCLUSIONS

This Technical Note was intended to identify the technical benefits and operating synergies arising from the transfer of controlling interest from Amazonas GT to Eletronorte. In this regard, the following points stand out:

a)   Expansion of Eletronorte's Generation Asset Portfolio - With a greater number of generation assets, the company will expand its project portfolio through diversified operations in the energy market of the North Region. The new Eletronorte, which is more robust from a technical and operational point of view, will be consolidated as the second largest generator among the Eletrobras Companies with 12,731.38 MW of installed power capacity;

b)   Strengthening of Eletronorte's Regional Presence in the North Region - Upon merger, Eletronorte will effectively operate in the state of Amazonas, expanding its business to impose itself in the face of the new reality of the local and national energy markets;

c)    Operational Optimization of Generation Assets - the corporate merger of the companies will bring advantages, namely: alignment of operational goals and objectives, investment opportunities in employee training, savings in reducing materials costs and outsourced labor and greater integration among employees, in addition to economies of scale and efficiency gains for the new company; and

d)   New Business Prospects - The new company, arising from the merger process, will reach many different markets and audiences, expanding business possibilities in the energy sector and gaining strength from market risks and uncertainties. The transfer of controlling interest will enable Eletronorte to acquire greater capacity to operate in the energy market, increasing its revenue and thus allowing greater investments. Thus, opportunities such as expansion by Gas-fired power plant and possible participation in auctions of transmission assets, currently operated by AMGT, should be considered.

MEMORANDUM

 

 

Date: 11/29/2019

 

PRJE ─ 0325/2019              

 

 

With respect to the opening of the shareholders’ meeting, Article 1255 of Law No. 6404/76 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 (Article 125 of Law No. 6404 / 76) is different from the deliberation quorum (Articles 1296 and 1367 of Law No. 6404/76). 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.  


5Article 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.

 

6 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.

 

7 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 beneficiary parties;                          

IX - company’s spin-off;                         

X - company’s dissolution.     

                  

Paragraph 1 - In the cases of items 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 Securities 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 Securities 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 items 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.

MEMORANDUM

PRJE ─ 0325/2019              

 

 

With respect to the deliberation quorum, it should be noted that, as a general rule, Law No, 6404/76, under 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.  

 

Subsequently, under the terms of Article 133, of Law No. 6404/76, the managers should report, until one month before the date set for the OGM, for notices published in the manner set forth in Article 124, that the documents provided for in its head provision are available to shareholders, provided that such documents, except for the opinion of the fiscal board, and other documents connected to matters included in the agenda8, shall be published within a period of not more than 5 (five) days before the date set for the publication of the notices, when such documents are published up to one month before the date set for the holding of Shareholders’ Meeting. It should be noted that failure to publish the notices or failure to comply with the deadlines referred to in Article 124 of Law No. 6404/76 may be remedied by the attendance at the Shareholders’ Meeting of all shareholders, but, however, publishing the documents prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting is mandatory.


8At this point, we bring up the understanding of jurist Modesto Carvalhosa, according to which “although the company is required to disclose, prior to the shareholders’ meeting, the documents referred to in new subsections IV and V, Law no. 10303, of 2001, in the new paragraph 3 of this Article 133, exempts these documents from the publication before the shareholders’ meeting is held. Therefore, shareholders interested in analyzing these documents shall not be able to count on their publication before the shareholders’ meeting, and they should arrange a copy at the places stated by the company in the published notices. Nevertheless, the published notices should mention the opinion of the Fiscal Board and the existence of divergent votes, if any, as well as other documents referring to the matters included in the agenda.” (emphasis added.)

In addition, the Securities 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.

 

Accordingly, publicly-held companies should comply with the provisions of the aforementioned CVM Instruction 481/2009. In this regard, there shall be also applicable those provisions under Articles 6 and 9 of said Instruction, according to which:

 

“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.

(...)

 

Article 9 The Company should provide, not later than 1(one) month before the date scheduled for the ordinary shareholders' meeting, the following documents and information:

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 - management's comment on the company's financial situation, pursuant to item 10 of the reference form;

IV – report of independent auditors;

V - opinion of the fiscal board, including dissenting votes, if any; and

VI – the remote voting bulletin, referred to under Article 21-F.

MEMORANDUM

 

 

Date: 11/29/2019

 

PRJE ─ 0325/2019              

 

Sole Paragraph.  By the date set forth in the head provision, the company should also provide the following documents:

 

I – Standardized Financial Statements Form - DFP;

II - proposal for the allocation of net income for the year that establishes at least the information stated in Annex 9-1-II to this Instruction; and

III – opinion of the audit committee, if any.”

 

 

1.2. Voting Right

 

Initially, it is found that Eletrobras’ preferred shares do not grant their holders the right to vote at meetings, according to Article 89, subsection II of the Company's Articles of Incorporation10.

 

In this regard, it is found that the prohibition of voting by preferred shareholders in shareholders’ meetings is mitigated by Law No. 6404/76, as these shareholders will acquire the right to vote, if the company fails to pay to them the set or minimum dividends to which they are entitled, a right that they shall keep until the payment of such dividends. This is inferred by the provisions under Article 111, Paragraph 111 of Law No. 6404/76.

 

 

 

 

 

 


9 Article 8. Eletrobras’ shares shall be:

(...)

II - preferred, registered shares without right to vote in Shareholders’ Meetings.

10Article 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.”

 

11 “Article 111. The Articles of Incorporation may fail to grant the preferred shares some of the rights recognized to the ordinary shares, including voting rights, or grant it with restrictions, subject to the provisions under Article 109.

Paragraph 1 Preferred shares without entitled to voting shall acquire the right to exercise such right if the company, over the period established in the Articles of Incorporation, does not exceed three (3) consecutive years, fails to pay the set or minimum dividends to which they are entitled, and such right shall be maintained until payment, if such dividends are not cumulative, or until the cumulative arrears are paid.”

MEMORANDUM

 

 

Date: 11/29/2019

 

PRJE ─ 0325/2019              

 

In this regard, the Management Proposal clarifies that:

 

The Company reports that the holders of preferred shares are temporarily entitled to vote, pursuant to Article 111 of the Corporations Act, however, said right shall automatically cease with the payment of dividends stated at the 59th OGM (April/2019), expected to occur by December 30, 2019, therefore, prior to the date of the 176th AGE. Once the payment is made, any votes of preferred shareholders for the 176th AGE, even if previously sent by remote bulletin, shall be disregarded, since on the date of the 176th EGM there will no longer be the right to vote by the preferred shareholders.

 

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 Law No. 6404/1976, 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 mandatory12for 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 Council, abiding by


12Article 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;

In fact, Amazonas Geração e Transmissão de Energia S.A – AmGT was established upon the divesture of Amazonas Energia, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazonas Energia through asset drop down operation.

In the context of return to private sector, it should be noted that the resolution of the Investment Partnership Program Board - CPPI No. 20/2017, in its Article 314, Paragraph 2, allowed that Amazonas Energia deducted its debts with Eletrobras, upon transfer of all shares issued by AmGT in favor of Eletrobras and/or third party.  In this sense, a datio in solutum operation between Amazonas Energia and Eletrobras was carried out, with AmGT becoming the wholly-owned subsidiary of this holding company.

In this context, in light of the understanding adopted by CVM, warranting the preemptive right to the shareholders of Eletrobras is not allowable.

 

2. Business of the Extraordinary General Meeting

 

In accordance with Article 131 of Law No. 6404/7615, the Shareholders’ Meeting is ordinary (OGM) when it has as its object the matters listed in the exhaustive list in Article 132 of the same legal provision, and special (“EGM”) in the other cases16.

 

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 Law No. 6404/76, 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 deemed suitable for its protection and development,” according to Article 121 of the aforementioned Legal Provision.


14 Article 3 Eletrobras shall, before the actual transfer of controlling interest, make adjustments in the distributors, upon conversion of debt in capital or assumption of the debts of the distributors with Eletrobras and/or third party, at the following sums:

(...)

Paragraph 2 Without prejudice to the provisions in Paragraph 1 of this Article, Amazonas Distribuidora may deduct debts with Eletrobras, by transferring all shares issued by Amazonas Geração e Transmissão S.A. - Amazonas GT in favor of Eletrobras and/or third party, the value of which shall be deducted from the amount of adjustment indicated in Item VI of this Article.

 

15 Article 131. The shareholders’ meeting is ordinary when it deals with the matters provided for in article 132, and special in the other cases.

 

16Article 132. Annually, in the first 4 (four) months following the end of the accounting year, there shall be 1 (one) 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) .

In this case, it is incumbent on of the shareholders’ meeting to resolve on the agenda business, pursuant to the provisions under Article 17, item I17 of the Articles of Incorporation of ELETROBRAS with Article 1, Item I18 of Decree 1091/1994.

 

Once the general questions are resolved, we will examine the legal aspects of the Call for Bids regarding Eletrobras’ Extraordinary General Meeting – EGM.

 

Considering that the only meeting in question is the transfer of all the shares representing the capital of Amazonas Geração e Transmissão de Energia S.A. (“AmGT”), from Eletrobras to Eletronorte, and that such transaction shall be performed by means of the execution of the Contract of Datio in Solutum and Other Covenants (“CONTRACT”), proceeding to the analysis of the legal aspects underlying the instrument.

 

Initially, we refer to opinion No. PRJE 0176/2018, dated December 7, 2018, which analyzed the general aspects, from the legal point of view, of the transfer of AmGT shares by ELETROBRAS. 

 

Therefore, regarding the adoption of the datio in solutum as a form of extinction of the debt previously existing between ELETROBRAS and ELETRONORTE, we stress that it is legally possible, given the fulfillment of the requirements under Articles 356 et seq. of the Civil Code, without prejudice to compliance with Article 24519 of Law No. 6404/76 (“LSA”) and Article 320 of Normative Resolution ANEEL No. 699/2016 (“RN 699”), which deals with the necessary commutability21 of obligations established between related parties.


17 Article 17. In addition to cases provided for by law, the Shareholders’ Meeting shall meet whenever the Board of Directors deems it convenient and, in particular, to deliberate on the following matters:

I - sale, in whole or in part, of shares of the capital stock of Eletrobras or its subsidiaries;

 

18Article 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; (omissis)

19 “Art. 245. The directors may not, to the detriment of the company, favor a related, controlling or controlled company, and shall ensure that intercompany transactions, if any, comply with strictly commutative conditions or with adequate compensatory payment; and are liable to the Company for losses and damages resulting from acts committed in violation of the provisions of this article. ”

Also regarding the general aspects of the transaction, we remind you that the regular transfer of AmGT’s shares to ELETRONORTE requires the grant of consents of some government agencies, provided for in Clause 2.1 of the CONTRACT, namely:

 

a) National Electric Energy Agency (“ANEEL”) –

 

 

 

With respect to such consent, the Management Proposal, in Item 2.7, establishes that the business was approved by Aneel, through order No. 3189, dated November 14, 2019, and was 120 days from the publication of said order were warranted for implementation. If the operation is not completed within this period, further approval will be required.

 

b) SEST - Secretariat of Coordination and Governance of Public Corporations (“SEST”), pursuant to Article 98, VI, “a,” of Decree 9745/2019, as we are dealing with the assumption by a public corporation of the control of another company - Eletronorte.

 


20 “Art. 3º The acts and legal transactions between Electric Sector Agents and their Related Parties shall be established under strictly commutative conditions, including, when appropriate, bidding processes, so as not to burden the parties disproportionately. ”

21 According to article 2 ANEEL Normative Resolution 699: “VI - The commutation of the contracting is verified when its economic and financial clauses are compatible with those practiced in the market in legal acts or business dealing with substitute goods or services.”

22Recalling that the operation in question does not fall under Article 19 of RN No. 699, which provides for exceptions to its qualification thereunder.

23 “Art. 18. Electric Sector Agents shall forward to ANEEL, in cases where prior consent is required, legal acts and dealings with Related Parties prior to their conclusion.

Sole paragraph. It does not violate the provisions of the caput the contracts previously entered into with express suspensive condition, which subordinates the validity and effectiveness of the legal business to ANEEL's approval, provided that the contracting parties do not initiate, for any act, the execution of the contract. ”

The Third Clause, in turn, in Items 3.3.5, 3.3.6, and 3.3.7, indicate the ways to be adopted if the share price is higher or lower than the value of ELETROBRAS’ debt with ELETRONORTE, as well as the reduction of the amount paid by ELETRONORTE as a result of the contracting of Delloite, of the total amount of the operation, in which there is no legal obstacle.

 

Clauses IV, 11.11, 11.12 and 11.13 regulates the statements to be made by the parties to carry out the transaction.

 

In point of fact, Clause V addresses the limits of ELETROBRAS’ liability as a seller to ELETRONORTE, as the purchaser of AmGT shares.

 

As a result, ELETROBRAS shall not be liable to ELETRONORTE for “asset shortfalls, subsequent liabilities and contingencies,” which are accounting concepts connected to possible equity variations that may be ascertained by ELETRONORTE, despite all independent audit work performed at AmGT. In the same vein, the clause also exempts ELETROBRAS from liability for any incompleteness or insufficiency of any information provided by the audit report, as well as direct, indirect losses or loss of profits that may result from such situations.

 

It should be noted that such clause, in a very similar wording, was also used in the contracts for purchase and sale of shares of the energy distributors that already belonged to ELETROBRAS, as well as in the contracts for purchase and sale of the shares of SPEs, object of ELETROBRAS’  divestment program, therefore representing a market condition.

 

In turn, ELETROBRAS shall be held liable in the following cases: a) intentional misstatements or omissions of the same nature; b) subsequent contingencies and asset shortfalls in relation to the financial statements of Amazonas GT dated December 31, 2018 until the date of the actual transfer of the shares of Amazonas GT to ELETRONORTE, whether or not known to ELETRONORTE; c) within six months of the transfer of controlling interest, owing to losses or gains, a taxable event prior to the actual transfer of the controlling interest actually incurred by AmGT, and which are no longer in any way booked in Amazonas GT balance sheet, and exceeding 10% (ten percent) of the final value of the transaction and d) owing to any substantial error, fraud or simulation found by ELETRONORTE in the financial statements that served as the basis of AmGT’s valuation, by means of filing of an annulment action of the meeting by ELETRONORTE, pursuant to Article 134, Paragraph 3 with Article 28624 (biennial prescription), all under Law No. 6404/76.

Also with respect to item “c” above (clause 5.1.12), it should be noted that a 50% (fifty percent) apportionment was established for each party in the event of any recognition of losses or gains actually incurred by the Amazonas GT, and which are no longer in any way booked on Amazonas GT balance sheet, and which exceed 10% (ten percent) of the final transaction amount. It is a contingent price forecast, which is in line with the provisions under Article 48725 of the Civil Code. 

 

Clause 6.1 established the obligation of ELETRONORTE to arrange, within 120 days after the commencement of the effects of this CONTRACT, “(...) the replacement or release of any and all collateral posted by Eletrobras under the scope of Amazonas GT, except for the collateral provided for by Eletrobras in the Gas Contract, OC 1902/2016, which shall remain under Eletrobras responsibility.”

 

The aforementioned exception is based on the assumption necessary for the execution of said Gas Contract in 2011, namely that the collateral was posted by ELETROBRAS in favor of CIGÁS and PETROBRAS. Therefore, any change to these terms could easily lead to the parties recognizing a deal braker.

 

In addition, the fact that, strictly speaking, ELETROBRAS shall continue, initially, to post the collateral on behalf of AmGT, which shall become its indirect subsidiary, so that, in the actual merger by ELETRONORTE, it starts posting the collateral on behalf of this subsidiary, given that we do not find legal obstacle in this regard.

 

Finally, with regard to confidentiality, such a commitment was governed by clause VII.

 

In view of the foregoing, no legal obstacles are foreseen for deliberation of the agenda business.

 


24 “Art. 286. The action to annul the deliberations taken in the general or special meeting, irregularly summoned or installed, violating the law or the statute, or riddled with error, deceit, fraud or simulation, shall expire in 2 (two) years from the deliberation.”

25 Article 487. It is permissible for the parties to set the price according to indices or parameters, provided that they can be objectively determined.
