Rio de Janeiro, March 30 2016 - Eletrobras (Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A.) (BM&FBOVESPA: ELET3 e ELET6 – NYSE: EBR e EBR-B – LATIBEX: XELTO and XELTB), the largest company in the sector of electrical energy of Latin America, active in the generation, transmission and distribution, holding of 14 subsidiaries, a participations company – Eletropar – and 50% participation of the Capital Stock of Itaipu Binacional, announces its results for the year.

 

Eletrobras presented, in 2015, a net loss attributable to the controlling of R$ 14,442 million, compared to a net loss of R$ 3,031 million recorded in 2014.

 

This result was decisively influenced by: (i) Provision for legal contingency in the amount of R$ 7,084 million, mainly for the provision relating to court proceedings involving compulsory loan of R$ 5,283 million and adjustments to values and risk classification of lawsuits from Furnas, Chesf and Eletronorte; (ii) Impairments of R$ 5,991 million, strongly influenced by the impairment of the Angra 3 thermonuclear plant in the amount of R$ 4,973 million - the provisions for impairment are expenses of economic nature aimed at adjusting the amount recorded in assets (fixed assets and financial assets) to the estimated recoverable amount based on the present value of the projected cash flow; and (iii) Loss in the distribution subsidiaries, which totaled R$ 5,195 million in 2015.

 

The result of 2015 was also impacted by the following variables:

 

Ø  Positively: (i) Reversal of loss provision on investments in the amount of R$ 611 million, due mostly to the reversal of provision of ICMS liabilities from Amazonas Energia, in the amount of R$ 1,102 million, as a result of a court decision in favor of the subsidiary (see Explanatory Note 42 in the Financial Statements); (ii) Increase by 22.5% in operational and maintenance revenue in the transmission segment, mainly due to the annual tariff adjustment, positively influenced by the rise in the Extended National Consumer Price Index  (IPCA), and new revenues from investments in improvements and reinforcements in the system; (iii) Improvement by 146% in equity in investees and subsidiaries; (iv) Transfer by Itaipu of R$ 234 million; and (v) Positive effect related to the Values Variation Clearing Account of items in the "Parcela A" (CVA), in the amount of R$ 324 million.

Ø  Negatively: (i) Reduction by 53% in the revenue of energy sales, in the spot market, in the Power Commercialization Chamber (CCEE), reflecting mainly the fall in the value of the Differences Settlement Price (PLD) and also of energy sold by Eletronorte and Furnas in the long term market, in the A-1 Auction; and (ii) Decrease in compensation of claims in respect of the first tranche of Law 12.783/13, which presented a variation of 89%, because the reduction of the outstanding balance due to the payment of the 1st tranche and the recalculation of interest and updates of these indemnity claims.

 

In 2015, earnings from the additional transmission compensation (RBSE) for the second tranche of Law 12.783/2013 were not calculated. The values claimed by Eletrobras are higher than those recorded as Aneel has not approved the amounts claimed by Chesf and Eletronorte, and, as for the values approved for Furnas and Eletrosul, the way in which the payment of the compensation must be made is still pending definition by the grantor. See Explanatory Note 2.1 in the Financial Statements.

In the fourth quarter of 2015 (4Q15), the company presented a net loss of R$ 10,327 million attributed to the controller, compared to a net loss attributable to the controller of R$ 4,012 million in the third quarter of 2015 (3Q15). The results of the quarter were decisively influenced by several variables, among which the following stand out: (i)  Impairments of R$ 2,605 million, strongly influenced by the impairment of Angra 3, in the amount of R$ 1,588 million, mainly due to the increase in the discount rate and the rescheduling of Angra 3's start of operation; (ii) Expenses related to the provision and payment of lawsuits relative to the compulsory loan amounting to R$ 5,019 million; (iii) reduction by 155% of the revenue of energy sales in the spot market, in the CCEE, influenced by the fall of the PLD and seasonality held by subsidiaries; (iv) Negative effect related to the Value Variation Clearing Account of items in the "Parcela A" (CVA) in the amount of R$ 339 million; (v) Decrease in compensation of claims relative to the first tranche of Law 12,783/13, mainly because of the recalculation of interest and updates related to these claims for compensation, which caused the indemnity compensation account to reverse from a positive amount of R$ 131 million in the 3Q15 to a negative amount of R$ 880 million in the 4T15;  (vi); a 20% increase in the supply revenue in the distribution segment, influenced by the annual adjustment; and (vii) a 34% reduction in the cost of energy purchased for resale.

I.1 Main variations of the Income Statement

Variations of the Income Statement (2014 x 2015)

 

The result of 2015 shows a variation by 376% compared to the year 2014, with a net loss attributed to the controller of R$ 14,442 million in 2015, compared to a net loss attributed to the controller of R$ 3,031 million in 2014.

The net operational revenues, amounting to R$ 32,589 million presented, in 2015, an increase by 8.1% compared to the year 2014 - R$ 30,138 million. In the segment analysis, we present the following highlights:

»     Generation revenues showed a reduction by 6.1%, from R$ 21,256 million in 2014 to R$ 19,959 million in 2015. This reduction was influenced by the fall in sales revenue in the short-term market in the Power Commercialization Chamber (CCEE), as well as by the reduction in the supply revenue of Eletronuclear, due to the scheduled stop at the Termonuclear Angra 2 Plant in October 2015, and at CGTEE, due to the reduction in the generation of their power plants and the reimbursement obligations recorded until the 3Q15. The sale of energy in the spot market decreased from R$ 3,818 million to R$ 1,812 million, due mostly to the long-term sale of energy by Furnas and Eletronorte in the A-1 auctions in 2014 (13th and 14th auctions) and the reduction of the Price of the Settlement of Differences (PLD) in 2015. The reduction of sales in the CCEE was partially offset by the increase of 1.1% in the supply revenue, which rose from R$ 12,175 million to R$ 12,310 million in 2015, mainly due the effect of the energy sold in the A-1 auctions. In the 13th Energy Auction of 2014, Eletronorte and Furnas negotiated respectively 280 MW and 531 MW, until December 2019, for R$ 271/MWh. In the 14th Energy Auction of 2014, Furnas also negotiated 352 MW until December 2017, for approximately R$ 201/MWh. The sale in these auctions reduced the availability of energy for sale in the spot market, but, on the other hand, it secured an important source of supply revenue, particularly due to the fall of the PLD. The supply revenue also increased by 7.7%, from R$ 3,317 million to R$ 3,572. The total volume of energy sold by the Eletrobras companies increased from 229 TWh in 2014 to 234 TWh in 2015. The Construction revenue decreased from R$ 240 million in 2014 to R$ 148 million in 2015, but with no effect on the result as it has equivalent amount recorded at the cost of construction.

»     Transmission revenues increased by 20.2%, from R$ 4,702 million in 2014 to R$ 5,611 million in 2015, influenced mainly by the increase of 22.5% in the operational and maintenance revenue and by the increase by 17.3% in the return rate update. This variation is mainly explained by the annual tariff adjustment, positively influenced by the rise in the IPCA, new revenues from investments in improvements and reinforcements in the system and the entry into operation of new investments. The Construction revenue increased from R$ 1,786 million in 2014 to R$ 2,078 million in 2015, but with no effect on the result as it has equivalent amount recorded at the cost of construction.

»     Distribution revenues increased by 97%, from R$ 8,184 million in 2014 to R$ 16,171 million in 2015. When CELG D’s revenues are disregarded, the distribution segment revenues increase by 26.2%, from R$ 6,491 million to R$ 8,193 million in 2015 The increase in supply revenue is mainly due to the annual adjustment and the implementation of tariff flags, which is offset by an increase in sectorial charges. Excluding Celg D’s revenues, the energy supply increases by 5.2%, from R$ 7,310 million in 2014 to R$ 7,689 million in 2015.  The amount of energy sold increased from 28.8 TWh in 2014 to 29.5 TWh in 2015. The Construction revenue increased from R$ 873 million in 2014 to R$ 1,012 million in 2015, but with no effect on the result as it has equivalent amount recorded at the cost of construction.

Marketletter 4Q15

 

 

-The Energy Purchased for Resale increased by 3.3%, from R$ 10,425 million in 2014 to R$ 10,766 million in 2015. Excluding Celg D’s expenses with the purchase of energy for resale, a 7.1% reduction and an amount of R$ 8,378 million were recorded in 2015, compared to a total of R$ 7,820 million in 2014, influenced mainly by the reduction of the PLD.

 

- An increase by 14.1% was recorded in the Use of electricity Grid Account. In 2014, a net expense of R$ 1,523 million was recorded, and, in 2015, the net expense rose to R$ 1,738 million. Excluding Celg D’s expenses with the Use of Grid Account, a growth by 3.2% and an amount of R$ 1,572 million were recorded in 2015.

 

- A reduction by 15.6% was recorded in the Fuel for Power Production account. In 2014, a net expense of R$ 1,480 million was recorded, whereas in 2015 a net expense of R$ 1,250 million was recorded, due primarily to decreased need for thermal generation by the Eletrobras’s thermal plants in 2015.

 

- In 2015, the sum of the Personnel, Materials and Services (PMS) accounts increased by 11.9%, from R$ 8,485 million in 2014 to R$ 9,495 million in 2015. The personnel, materials and services accounts increased by 7.1%, 2.6% and 23.6%, respectively. When CELG D's expenses are disregarded, the personnel account increases by 1.0%, below the inflation rate in the period, from R$ 5,532 million in 2014 to R$ 5,668 million in 2015, influenced by the effect of the Voluntary Redundancy Program, which demonstrates the Company's efforts to reduce costs. The services account increased by 4.7% from R$ 2,440 million in 2014 to R$ 2,687 million in 2015 and the materials account decreased by 3.3%, from R$ 307 million in 2014 to R$ 300 million in 2015.

- Operational Provisions increased from R$ 1,755 million in 2014 to R$ 14,639 million in 2015. In 2015, the operational reserves were influenced mainly by (i) the Provision for Legal Contingencies in the amount of R$ 7,084 million, especially the provision for court proceedings involving the compulsory loan in the amount of R$ 5,283 million and adjustments to values and risk rating in court proceedings of Furnas and Chesf and (ii) the recognition of impairments in the amount of R$ 5,991 million, heavily impacted by the impairment of Angra 3 in the amount of R$ 4,973 million (See Explanatory Note 20 in the Company's Financial Statements), noting that the impairment recorded for Angra 3 is based primarily on the review of the commissioning date, and on the variation in the discount rate used to perform the asset recoverability test because of changes in the Brazilian macroeconomic environment. In addition, new assets that went into operation have been tested. An increase also occurred in the provision for loan losses to consumers and resellers (Doubtful Accounts), which amounted to R$ 643 million, influenced mainly by the review of the criterion for doubtful accounts in the Eletrobras distribution companies, mainly in CELG D. Excluding Celg D’s provisions, the operational provisions would amount to R$ 14,544 million in 2015.

- The Equity Interest recorded a variation of 144% resulting from the accounting of a negative amount of R$ 1,217 million in 2014, caused mainly by the highly negative result, in 2014, of the Madeira Energia SPE (Santo Antonio Hydro), and a positive amount of R$ 531 million in 2015.

- The net financial result reversed from a net revenue of R$ 695 million in 2014 to a net expense of R$ 1,699 million in 2015. If the financial result of Celg D were disregarded, the financial result would be negative in the amount of R$ 832 million in 2015, compared to a positive amount of R$ 823 million in 2014. This variation is mainly due to the increase of debt charges, which rose from R$ 3,449 million in 2014 to R$ 6,340 million in 2015, also influenced by the interest and late payment charges of debts of the distribution companies with suppliers. In addition, this variation was also influenced by the reduction in the remuneration of the claims related to the first tranche of Law 12.783/13, which decreased from a positive amount of R$ 1,019 million in 2014 to a positive amount of R$ 115 million in 2015, due to the reduction of the outstanding balance of due payments and the recalculation of interest and updates of these indemnity claims.

Variations of the Income Statement (4Q15 x 3Q15)

 

In the 4Q15, Eletrobras presented a net loss of R$ 10,327 million attributed to the controller in the 3Q15, compared to a net loss attributed to the controller of R$ 4,012 million in the 3Q15.

 

The Net Operational Revenues, amounting to R$ 7,861 million, decreased by 0.5% in the 4Q15 compared to the 3Q15, when the recorded amount was R$ 7,902 million. Excluding the revenue from energy sales in the short-term market in the CCEE and the revenue from construction were excluded, the net operational revenue would grow by 1.5%, from R$ 6,711 million in the 3Q15 to R$ 6,810 million in the 4Q15. In the segment analysis, we present the following highlights:

»     Generation Revenues decreased by 13.6%, from R$ 4,909 million in the 3Q15 to R$ 4,244 million in the 4Q15. This reduction was due to lower sales in the short-term market (CCEE), which went from a net revenue of R$ 376 million to a net expense of R$ 209 million, reflecting the correction in Amazonas Energia's 2015 revenues in face of problems related to measurement and other technical issues. Offsetting this trend, Sales for final consumers increased by 4.0% and the total volume of energy sold by the Eletrobras companies increased from 54.1 TWh in the 3Q15 to 58.2 TWh in the 4Q15. The transfer of Itaipu reversed from a net expenditure of R$ 41 million to a net revenue of R$ 170 million, influenced by the effects of the dollar's variation on the monetary adjustment based on the American price indices Commercial Price and Industrial Goods. Construction Revenue decreased from R$ 37 million in 2014 to negative R$ 42 million in 2015, but with no effect on the outcome of the 4Q15, as it has equivalent amount recorded at construction cost.

»     Transmission Revenues increased by 34.9%, from R$ 1,379 million in the 3T15 to R$ 1,859 million in the 4Q15, influenced mainly by the increased Construction Revenue, which has equal value accounted for at construction cost.

»     Distribution Revenues showed an increase by 10.8%, from R$ 4,178 million in 2014 to R$ 4,629 million in 2015. Energy Supply increased by 20.0%, from R$ 3,813 million in the 3Q15 to R$ 4,577 million in the 4Q15, influenced primarily by the tariff adjustment of Celg D and Amazonas Energia. The recognition of the values of the CVA and other financial components decreased, from a positive amount of R$ 103 million in the 3Q15 to a negative amount of R$ 339 million in the 4Q15 due, mostly, to tariff adjustments in the subsidiaries Ceron and Ceal. The amount of energy sold increased from 7.5 TWh in the 3Q15 to 7.7 TWh in the 4Q15. The construction revenue has equivalent value accounted for at the cost of construction.

- The Electricity Purchased for Resale decreased by 34%, from R$ 2,719 million in the 3Q15 to R$ 1,793 million in the 4Q15. This result was influenced, mainly, by the recording of the effects of the Hydrological Risk Adjustment Factor (GSF), pursuant to Law 13,203/15, in the amount of R$ 742 million, as a rectification of the cost of Electricity Purchased for Resale. This gain should be offset by the risk premium in subsequent years.

- The net financial result increased from a net expense of R$ 343 million in the 3Q15 to a net expense of R$ 1,686 million in the 4Q15. This variation is mainly due, mainly, to the recalculation of interest and related updates to claims for compensation of the first tranche of Law nº 12,783/2013, reducing the compensation payment account from a positive amount of R$ 131 million in the 3Q15 to a negative amount of R$ 880 million in the 4Q15.

III. General Information

 

Portfolio of Financing Receivables and Payable

 

a.    Financing and Loans Granted

Financing and loans granted are made with the Company's own resources, as well as sectoral resources, funds raised from BNDES, Banco do Brazil and Caixa Econômica Federal and external resources obtained through international development agencies and financial institutions arising from the issuance of bonds in the international financial market.

 

All financing and loans granted are supported by formal contracts signed with borrowers. The receivables of these values, for the most part, are set out in monthly installments, repayable within an average of 10 years, and the average interest rate, weighted by the portfolio balance, is 8.74% per year.

 

Financing and loans granted by the Parent Company, with currency update clause, account for about 42% of the total portfolio (38% on December 31st, 2014). Those which predict update based on indexes that represent the level of internal prices in Brazil, on the other hand, reach 58% of the balance of the portfolio (62% on December 31st, 2014).

 

The market values of these assets are close to their book values, because they are industry-specific operations and formed, in part, through Sectoral Funds and resources which do not find similar conditions as parameter of evaluation at market value.

 

The increase in the outstanding balance of loan receivables in the year is mainly due to the exchange rate ascertained on loans granted to Itaipu, resulting from the appreciation of the dollar against the real when the closing prices of December 2015 and December 2014 are compared. The dollar varied positively by 47%.

 

The long-term portion of financing and loans granted, based on expected cash flows are contractually due in variable installments, as follows:

Notes:

 

1. Risks related to compliance with laws and regulations

 

"Operação Lava Jato", which, according to public sources, investigates the existence of an alleged corruption scheme involving companies responsible mainly for works in the infrastructure sector in Brazil, began in 2014.

Because of the news published in the press in 2015 in connection with such operation involving companies that also provided services for Eletrobras' subsidiary Eletrobras Termonuclear S.A. – Eletronuclear (“Eletronuclear”) (UTN Angra 3) and for certain special purpose entities in which Eletrobras or its subsidiaries hold a stake, Eletrobras created three (3) committees in order to verify the hiring of these contractors.  Given the limited scope of work of these Committees, the Eletrobras’ Board of Directors decided to hire a firm with the necessary expertise to conduct an independent investigation in order to assess any potential irregularities that may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), the Brazilian anti-corruption law and/or the code of ethics of Eletrobras in respect of certain projects.  On June 10, 2015, Eletrobras hired the law firm Hogan Lovells for the investigation.

 This independent investigation is supervised by an Independent Committee for Investigation Management, which was set up by the Eletrobras’ Board of Directors on July 31, 2015, to ensure the independence of the work undertaken by Hogan Lovells.  This Commission is made up of Ms. Ellen Gracie Northfleet, a former Minister of the Brazillian Supreme Court, Mr. Durval Soledade Santos, a former Director of the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM), and Mr. Manoel Jeremias Leite Caldas, representative of the minority shareholders of Eletrobras.

 It is important to mention that the CEO of Eletronuclear, Mr. Othon Luiz Pinheiro da Silva, requested leave of absence on April 29, 2016, because of news linking him to an alleged corruption scheme. He resigned on August 4, 2015.  Mr. Othon Luiz Pinheiro da Silva is currently a defendant in a criminal lawsuit in which Eletrobras has offered its assistance to the prosecution (as assistente de acusação).

 

Regarding the construction of the Angra 3 plant, it is important to note that Eletronuclear suspended the contracts for the electromechanical assembly and the civil works and that the Angramon consortium has petitioned for a rescission of the contract.  No interim injunction or judgment has been passed in this proceeding.

 

Further, due to news citing the alleged involvement of the Chief of Planning and Engineering Officer of Eletrobras Eletronorte, Mr. Adhemar Palocci, and the Chief of Energy Generation Officer of Eletrobras, Mr. Valter Luiz Cardeal, in alleged wrongdoing in connection with the Operação Lava Jato, both requested leave of absence from their positions on July 31, 2015 and on August 5, 2015, Mr. Valter Luiz Cardeal also requested leave of absence from the boards of CGTEE, Amazonas GT and Eletrosul.  Adhemar Palocci and Valter Luiz Cardeal remain on a leave of absence.

Marketletter 4Q15

 

 To the extent that the investigation conducted by Hogan Lovells evolves and in case it leads to findings and produces sufficient information and data for the company to evaluate any impacts, in accordance with the legislation of Brazil and the United States of America, Eletrobras will make the reflect the necessary impacts on its financial information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

As the investigation is still ongoing, it was not possible to identify or reflect any potential impacts of the investigation on the financial statements.

 

2. Provision for reduction of the recoverable value of long-term assets: (accompany any change of Note of financial statements)

 

Whenever it is necessary, the Company adopts variables and assumptions, in asset recovery determination tests, for determination of the recoverable value of assets and recognition of impairment. In this practice judgments are applied based on historical experience in the management of assets, group of assets or cash-generating unit. Such judgements may, eventually, not hold true in the future, including as to the estimated economic useful life. Currently, the useful life adopted by the Company complies with the practices determined by ANEEL, applicable on assets linked to the granting of the public service of electricity, which may vary as a result of the periodic analysis of the economic useful life of assets, in effect. Additionally, the useful life is limited to the period of granting only for operations in the scope of the ICPC 01/IFRIC 12.

 

Various inherently unreliable events also impact on determining the variables and assumptions used by the Company and its subsidiaries in the determination of future discounted cash flows for the purposes of recognition of the recoverable value of assets. Among these events the following stand out: the maintenance of electric power consumption levels; growth rate of economic activity in the country; and availability of water resources, beyond those inherent to the end of periods of public service concessions, especially those regarding the value of their reversal at the end of this period. At this point, the adopted premise is that the compensation is contractually provided, where applicable, at the new replacement value (VNR), for generation and transmission, and at the value of the base regulatory compensation (BRR), for distribution. These are the expected indemnity values at the end of the term of the concessions of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity (see accounting practice in Explanatory Note 3.11 in the Financial Statements and changes of provisions made during the year in Explanatory Note 20 in the financial Statements). Another significant variable is the discount rate used to discount the cash flows.

 

The following assumptions were considered:

Growth compatible with the historical data and prospects of growth for the Brazilian economy;

Discount rate (after taxes) specific to each segment: 7.50% for generation, 7.00% for transmission and 7.01% for distribution (6.69% for generation, 6.57% for transmission and 6.14% for distribution in 2014) obtained through the methodology applied by the market, usually taking into account weighted average cost of capital;

Marketletter 4Q15

 

The Company treated all its projects as independent cash generating units.

In the year ended on December 31st 2015, the subsidiary Eletronuclear recognized a provision for decrease in recoverable value (impairment) amounting to R$ 4,973 million (see Explanatory Notes 17 in the Financial Statements) relative to Angra 3 Thermonuclear Plant project, causing a corresponding reduction of fixed assets, offsetting the Operational Provisions account. On December 31st 2015, the accumulated value of the impairment of the Angra 3 Plant in fixed assets amounted to R$ 6,063 million (R$ 1,090 million in December 2014). The discount rate was calculated by the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) methodology, considering the parameters that are traditional and usually used in the market. Due to the test of impairment during the period, there was a rise in the discount rate, by 0.96% from 4.51% (December 31st 2014) to 5.47% (September 30th, 2015).  This rate was maintained for the impairment test of December 31st 2015.  To calculate the discount rate were considered: (i) reference of American companies that have at least two nuclear plants for power generation, given that in Brazil there is no reference; (ii) additional risk of project implementation; (iii) synergy with the nuclear power plants Angra I and II of Eletronuclear. The total budget of the project was upgraded to the base of December 2015, in order to reflect the impact of fluctuation in inflation and exchange rates, in addition to the reprogramming of activities due to the new schedule.

 

The analysis, in 2015, determined the need of constitution/reversal of provision for losses in the following projects in the year 2015.

 

The amount of the Impairment in the balance sheet by segment  is shown as follows:

3. Provision for Legal Contingencies related to the Compulsory Loan:

 

The largest number of legal lawsuits in the Parent Compnay are lawsuits that concern the application of criteria for monetary restatement of book credits on the Compulsory Loan on energy consumption.

 

Such claims aim at challenging the restatement procedures determined by the Compulsory Loan Law and used by the Company.

The credits of the compulsory loan were paid by the Company through conversions performed in 1988, 1990 and 2005.

 

The dispute was brought to the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), and the issue has been settled by that Court.  The issue is, however, currently subject to appeals to the Supreme Court (STF), which are pending judgment.

 

Despite the appeals to the Supreme Court, given the precedent of the Superior Court, judged under article 543 Rite-C of the Civil Code of 1973, the filed claims have had their normal course and, therefore, there have been several decisions for the payment of monetary restatement differences relative to this period and, as a result, Eletrobras has been sentenced to pay, but there is dissent between Eletrobras and the authors as to how to calculate the amount due.

 

As it happens, however, in the third quarter of 2015, the Superior Court issued decisions defining parameters for the calculation methodology of these payments, taking into account some, but not all, allegations by Eletrobras, which resulted in adjustments in Eletrobras' calculation methodology and in the risk classification of these lawsuits and the consequent change in the provision for contingencies in the year ended on December 31st 2015.

 

There are currently about 3,868 lawsuits provisioned with this object being processed in several instances. The Company maintains a provision for these civil contingencies, in the amount of R$ 9,279 million (R$ 4,307 million on December 31st 2014), related to these lawsuits.

 

These lawsuits are not related to those filed with the claim to get the rescue of bearer bonds, currently unenforceable, issued as a result of the compulsory loan.

 

4. 20-F Form

Due to the ongoing investigation described above, Eletrobras was not able to file its Form 20-F as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 when due.  The New York Stock Exchange granted an extension until May 18, 2016 for the filing.  The filing of Form 20-F is one of the requirements for the maintenance of the listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
