However, through Provisional Measure no. 706, of December 28, 2015 (Annex I), that amended the second paragraph of article 11 of Law 12,783/2013, the date for signature of the additive term for the extension of said concession contracts was changed to July 25, 2016. The Contracts in case in point are available at the website: www.aneel.com.br.

Decree number 8,461, of June 02, 2015 (Annex 2), regulating on the extension of the concessions for distribution of electric energy authorized the Ministry of Mines and Energy (“MME”) to extend the electric energy distribution concessions covered in article 7 of Law number 12,873, of January 11, 2013, for 30 (thirty) years, and established that the following criteria must be addressed for the extension:

       I.       Efficiency in quality of service, to be calculator by way of the indicators for Equivalent Duration of Interruption of Internal Origin per Consumer Unit (Equivalent Duration of Interruption of Internal of Origin per Consumer Unit - "DECi") and Equivalent Frequency of Interruption of Internal Origin per Consumer Unit (Frequência Equivalente de Interrupção de Origem Interna por Unidade Consumidora - “FECi");

Considering the previously mentioned extension of the term for deliberation, Eletrobras contracted independent consultancy provider, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, to draft an economic-financial assessment of referred Distribution Companies, as per Annex 3, with a view to providing its decision-making entities with informed input.

In June 2016, through MME Official Letter, it was released the new draft of the Public Service Concession Agreement for Distribution of Electric Energy, which is Annex 4 of this Management Proposal (the "Addendum"). The annual limits to meet the criteria of items I (Efficiency of service quality) and II (economic and financial efficiency) of Article 1 of Decree number 8,461/2015 were first presented in Annex II of ANEEL Technical Note No. 0335/2015 -SCT-SFE-SFF-SRDSRM, but the criterion of item I have been revised and resubmitted by the Technical Note ANEEL 037/2016-SRD 03.30.2016 (Annex 5).

On May 31, 2016, the National Congress gave final approval for the Bill of Law for conversion number 11, of 2016 (PLC 11/2016), of Provisional Measure number 706, of 2015, currently awaiting sanction from the President of the Republic. This project brings, in particular, the following benefits: (i) amendment to Law 10,438/2002 in providing funds for the payment of reimbursements with expenses in the acquisition of fuel, incurred up to April 30, 2016 by the concession holders concessions object of art. 4o-A of Law no. 12,111, of December 9, 2009, proven but not yet reimbursed due to the economic and energetic efficiency object of art. 3, § 12 of Law no. 12,111, of 2009, including monetary updates; (ii) provides funds for the payment of debts, contracted by December 31, 2015, with respect to fuel purchased to address the public utility service of distribution of electric energy in the isolated systems by the concession holders object of art. 4o-A of Law no 12,111, of 2009, that to date lack CDE coverage. In addition, it amends Law 12,111/2009 informing that in the total cost of generation of electric energy in Isolated Systems, all fixed and variable costs must be included, and that (i) from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020 sector charges will be excluded from the valuing for the amount corresponding to electric energy by the mean cost of power and energy sold on SIN ACR; (ii) starting on January 1, 2035, all sector charges will be include in valuing the amount corresponding to electric energy by the mean cost of power and energy sold on ACR, and (iii) January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2034 sector charges will be included, gradually and annually, for the amount of 1/15, in valuing the quantity corresponding to the electric energy by the mean cost of power and energy sold on SIN ACR.

Within this context, of the Distribution Companies having isolated systems, only Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia and Boa Vista Energia will receive the benefits of Bill of Law of Conversion no. 11, of 2016 – PLC 11/2016, given that Ceron and Eletroacre had the respective state capitals addressed by systems connected to the National Interlinked System (Sistema Interligado Nacional - SIN) on date prior Law no. 12,111 of 2009 coming into force.

Regardless of the study undertaken by the independent consultancy provider, Distribution Companies drafted their own respective Technical Notes (Annex 6), evaluating the commitments in sustainability of service quality and of economic-financial condition of the companies up to 2021, the first five-year period following the date of extension of concession with a view to providing support for their respective managements and shareholders on the decision to sign the respective Additive Term. It should be highlighted that the senior management of the Distribution Companies, based on the decisions of their Executive Boards and their Board of Directorss (Annex 7), once again recommended signing the respective Additive Term and requested that Extraordinary General Meetings – EGMs be convened for the Distribution Companies to approve signing the Additive Term.

The decisions of the 165th Extraordinary General Assembly of Eletrobras Shareholders will serve as guidance in instructing the Eletrobras vote in referred Extraordinary General Assemblies of Shareholders of the Distribution Companies in case in point convened to decide on the extension of their concessions.

It should be noted that this Eletrobras management proposal, despite the studies conducted by the distribution companies was based primarily on economic and financial evaluation of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, whose main premise lies in alienation, in 2017, of the shareholder control of distribution companies, as well as considers the benefits of the PLC 11/2016, of Provisional Measure number 706, 2015. Technical Notes of Distribution Companies were attached to this Management Proposal to subsidize the shareholders of Eletrobras with all available information, particularly with regard to projection of compliance with service quality goals.

Next we summarize, to clarify for shareholders, the most relevant aspects of the draft of the Additive Term, with special attention to commitments and obligations of concession holders, risks for controllers, convergence and advantage of the decision.

2.1.1. Draft of the Additive Term:

 

The Draft of the Additive Term disciplines all the rights and obligations of Distribution Companies and their controlling shareholder for the new concession term.

With no prejudice to the other contract will obligations, clauses two ("Conditions for Delivery of Public Utility Service"), six (“Tariffs Applicable to the Delivery of the Service”), eight (" Corporate Governance and Transparency"), eighteen ("On the Conditions for Extension"), Annex II (“Conditions for Extension – Efficiency in the Delivery of the Distribution Service”) and Annex III (“Conditions for Extension - Efficiency in Economic and Financial Management”) of the Additive Term.

2.1.2. Efficiency in the Delivery of the Public Utility Service: Clause Two and Annex II of the Additive Term

 

In order to extend the concession, ANEEL establishes targets for the service quality indicators represented by the Equivalent Duration of Interruption of Internal of Origin per Consumer Unit (hence forth herein "DECi") and by FECi – Equivalent Frequency of Interruption of Internal of Origin per Consumer Unit (hence forth herein "FECi").

Since Decree no. 8,461/2015 establishes in paragraph four of its Art. 1, that “Compliance with the criteria set in insets I and II of the caput can be achieved by the concession holder in a maximum of five years, counted from the calendar year following the date of signing of the concession contract or of its Additive Term, with the annual targets defined by trajectories of continued improvement having to be met, established starting from the higher value among the limit values to be defined by the National Agency of Electric Energy (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica – ANEEL) and the indicators calculated for each concession holder for the calendar year prior to signing the concession contract or the Additive Term”, ANEEL had to calculate again the limit values for the DECi and FECi of the Distribution Companies that did not sign the Additive Term to the Concession Contracts in 2015. The new limit values for DECi and FECi established by ANEEL were object of ANEEL Public Hearing no. 18/2016 and have been stipulated in ANEEL Technical Note no. 037/2016-SRD of March 30, 2016 (Annex 5).

According to the Additive Term, noncompliance of the targets mentioned in items I and II above, in the 5 (five) year period, starting on January 1, 2017, for 2 (two) consecutive years or noncompliance of any of the targets at the end of the 5 (five) year term, will result in the extinction of the concession2.

Likewise, starting on the 6th (sixth) year, noncompliance with these targets shall configure delinquency by the concession holder and will imply in triggering the expiry process, addressed the following: (i) Criteria I - Efficiency in service quality: in the event of noncompliance for three consecutive years; or (ii) Criteria II - economic-financial efficiency: in the event of noncompliance for two consecutive years.

The charts below show the historic progress and the new targets established for these indicators in ANEEL Technical Note no. 037/2016-SRD of 03/30/2016 (Annex 5).

 

 

 


 2 “CLAUSE EIGHTEEN – CONDITIONS FOR EXTENSION - in addition to the previous dispositions of this Contract, the concession holder shall observe, for the period of 5 (five) years counted from January 1, 2016, the conditions for extension established in Annexes II and III.

Sub-clause One – Noncompliance of one of the extension conditions set out in Annexes II and III for two consecutive years or of any condition at the end of the five-year period, leading to the extinction of the concession, respected the dispositions of this contract, in particular the right to full defense and contradiction.

CLAUSE TWELVE – EXTINCTION OF CONCESSION AND REVERSAL OF GOODS AND FACILITIES LINKED

Sub-clause 14 – for the period starting in the sixth tax year following the signature of this contract, delinquency by the concession holder stemming from noncompliance with efficiency criteria in connection with the continuity of delivery or economical financial management shall imply in starting an expiry process, respected the dispositions of this contract, in particular the right to full defense and to contradicting, noting that:

I – noncompliance with the minimum economic-financial sustainability parameters for 2 (two) executive years, as per ANEEL regulation, shall characterize delinquency with respect to the financial-economic management aspect;

II – noncompliance with the annual over all limit values for collective continuity indicators for three consecutive years shall characterize, as per ANEEL regulation, delinquency with respect to continuity of delivery.

Paragraph one – ANEEL shall establish the minimum parameters mentioned in Inset I of this Sub-clause at the beginning of periods, preferably every five years, with the establishment of the new parameters observing, among other items, the need for a positive EBITDA and the capacity to perform the minimum investments and provide service for the debt.

Paragraph Two – ANEEL shall establish the limit values dealt with in Inset II of this Sub-clause prior to the beginning of the periods, preferably every five years.”

It can be observed that, in some cases, the targets established represent a significant reduction with respect to the history of regulatory performance for the Distribution Companies. As established in the above mentioned Additive Term, noncompliance with any of the DECi or FECi limit values established for 2 (two) consecutive years during the assessment period or in 2021, shall result in the extinction of the concession3. Noncompliance with the quality standards shall imply in compensations, penalties, restrictions in distribution of dividends, and interest on company capital (ICC) among others, based on the conditions set out in the Additive Term4.

Eletrobras Distribution Department, through Technical Note number DD 003/2016 (Annex 8), stressed that under the assumption of effective and timely execution of the actions listed in the Results Plans5


3 Annex II - CLAUSE ONE – CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY The efficiency criteria with respect to the quality of the service delivered will be measured by indicators that take into account the frequency and mean duration of interruptions in the public utility service of distribution of electric energy.

Sub-clause one – The indicators assessed to this end are DECi – Equivalent Duration of Interruption per Consumer Unit and FECi – Equivalent Frequency of Interruption per Consumer Unit.

Sub-clause Four – Noncompliance with the efficiency criteria for quality of service delivered, for two consecutive years during the assessment period or in 2021, will result in the extinction of the concession, in the terms of Clauses Twelve and Eighteen.

Sole Paragraph – Violation of the limited value of at least one of the continuity indicators established in Table I will be considered noncompliance with the efficiency criteria with respect to the quality of service delivered.

 4 “CLAUSE TWO – CONDITIONS FOR DELIVERY OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY SERVICE

Sub-clause Six – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY commits to respecting the quality standards established by ANEEL.

Sub-clause Seven – noncompliance with the quality standards established by ANEEL may force the DISTRIBUTION COMPANY to compensate consumers for the bad quality of the distribution services delivered, as per regulation from ANEEL, with no impairment to the application of the penalties foreseen.

Sub-clause Eight – noncompliance with the overall annual limit values for collective continuity indicators for two consecutive years or three times in five years may, according to ANEEL regulation, implying in constraints in the distribution of dividends or payment of interest in company capital, until the regulatory parameters are restored, addressed in set I of sub- clause 1 of Clause 7.

Sub-clause Nine – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY commits to drafting and keeping up to date a maintenance plan for the distribution facilities, specifying the maintenance activities and their required frequency in order to address the technical specification of the equipment and the adequate service delivery, to be presented to ANEEL on request.

5ANEEL presented a diagnosis on the the service provided by the Distribution Companies and requested the adoption of short and medium-term measures for reestablishment of Quality of Service as a Result Plan, which was prepared and forwarded to the Regulatory Agency in the first half 2015 , constituting the results plan for distribution companies.

submitted to ANEEL, in April of 2015, by the Distribution Companies Cepisa, Ceal, Eletroacre, Ceron and Amazonas Energia, currently under ongoing monitoring by ANEEL, and the Business Plan for Boa Vista Energia S.A., as well as based on the commitments and actions established in the respective Technical Notes for these Distribution Companies, endorsed by their respective boards, conditional to the viability of financial resources in the form of capital inputs in the companies, with emphasis on the years of 2016 and 2017, as shown in the previously mentioned technical notes, and in the priority given by the companies in implementing investment and operational management actions, it is achievable for the 6 (six) Distribution Companies not to violate that the respective annual global limit values for DECi (hence forth herein “DEC”) and FECi (hence forth herein FEC”) of internal origin per consumer unit, indicated by ANEEL for the years of 2017 to 2021 and explicitly set out in ANEEL Technical Note n° 037/2016-SRD and in this way not incur in the penalty of having the expiry of the concession contract declared.

In defining the trajectory endpoint to be occurred in 2021, ANEEL applied the comparative performance analysis methodology, based on a mathematical model, and using as the baseline the trajectory achieved by Companhia Enérgica do Maranhão - CEMAR after the change in the controller.

In order to achieve these objectives, the Technical Notes of the Distribution Companies (Annex 6) list a number of actions currently underway, detailed in the respective Results Plans that will have to be fully carried out in the timeframe allotted. Despite, in some of the companies, the targets for improvement in quality of the services be relatively aggressive as compared to the results for recent years, the Distribution Companies and Eletrobras Distribution Department feel that not violating the limit values defined by ANEEL for the DECi and FECi indicators from 2017 to 2021 is achievable. Nonetheless, these must be continually monitored to avoid consequences for the concession holder and for the controlling shareholder, conditional to the minimum capital inputs indicated in their respective technical notes, and including the elimination of the debts in ordinary resources (RO) held by the Distribution Companies with Eletrobras. These conditions were taken into account in Deloitte’s evaluation, including in terms of the adequacy of the projections for the investments in the power grids of the respective Distribution Companies in reducing the FECi and DECi service quality indicators in order to prevent violation of the limit values established by ANEEL for the years of 2017 to 2021.

2.1.3 Efficiency in Economic and Financial Management: Annex III of the Additive Term

 

In order to extend the concessions, ANEEL also establishes financial indicators, represented by Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, - EBITDA and the level of indebtedness6.

Compliance with the efficiency criteria in economic-financial management will depend on complying with the following equations.

Target I: EBITDA ≥ 0 (by the end of 2018 and maintained in 2019, 2020 and 2021)7;

Target II: [EBITDA (-) QRR] ≥ 0 (by the end of 2019 and maintained in 2020 and 2021)8;

Target III: {Net Debt/[EBITDA (-) QRR]} ≤ 1/(0.8*Selic) (by the end of 2020)9;


6 ANNEX III - CONDITIONS FOR EXTENSION – EFFICIENCY IN ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

CLAUSE ONE – MINIMUM PARAMETERS

The minimum financial and economic sustainability parameters mentioned in Sub-clause One of Clause Seven were defined, for the first five years, starting from the first calendar year following the year of onset of the term of this additive, under the following condition:

Operational Cash Generation – Replacement investments – Interest on the Debt ≥ 0

where: Operational Cash Management: Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (LAJIDA) adjusted for nonrecurring events; Replacement Investments: Regulatory Reintegration Quota (Quota de Reintegração Regulatória - QRR); and Interest on the Debt: Net Debt x (1.11 x SELIC).

Sub-clause Three – the inequality equations pertinent to the respective terms will take place at every 12 (twelve) months counted from the beginning of the calendar year following the year of term of this additive.

Sub-clause Four – the inequality equations are limits that must be accomplished by the end of the terms set and maintain from then on, addressed Sub-clause Fourteen of Clause Twelve for the period beginning in the sixth calendar year following the year of signing of this contract.

 

 

 

17


 

 

 

 

 

 

Target IV: {Net Debt/[EBITDA (-) QRR]} ≤ 1/(1.11*Selic) (by the end of 2021)10.

In this way, based on criteria defined by ANEEL, the Distribution Company must have like 2021 and annual cash flow for the activity that is compatible with the company’s level of indebtedness. This cash flow should be sufficient to support investments in replacement, in minimum amount equivalent to the Regulatory Reintegration Quota (Quota de Reintegração Regulatória) (hence forth herein "QRR") corrected by the General Market Prices Index (Índice Geral de Preços do Mercado - IGP-M), and cover the interest incurred by the company’s net debt, at a first moment, using as a benchmark 80% (eighty percent) of the rate of the Special System for Liquidation and Custody (Sistema Especial de Liquidação e Custódia – SELIC), and, at a second moment, 111% (one hundred and eleven per cent) of SELIC.

Noncompliance with these parameters shall imply in the need for additional capital inputs, in the restriction of distribution of dividends in excess of the minimum mandatory dividends, among other penalties11.

In addition, according to the set out in Clause Eighteen of the Additive Term, noncompliance with the economic and financial sustainability conditions for 2 (two) consecutive years or at the end of the 5 (five) years period, may also result in the extinction of the concession by expiry.

 


 

7Condition (I): The gross operational cash generation for the activity, calculated by Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation or Amortization EBITDA (Earnings Before Interests, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) must be higher than zero by 2017.

8Condition (II): The gross operational cash generation must support in basements in replacement, in the minimum amount equivalent to the Regulatory Reintegration Quota (Quota de Reintegração Regulatória - QRR) offset for inflation using the IGP-M. The scenario in which EBITDA is positive, however inferior to the Investment amounts is called “Negative Flow", meaning that the cash generated and remaining after payment of the company's operational expenses is not sufficient to replace the parcel of the production assets depreciated, much less to service the interest on the debt.

9Conditions (III) and (IV): The annual flow of the activity must be compatible with the company level of indebtedness, being sufficient to pay, at least, for the cost of servicing the debt (interest incurred on the outstanding debt).

10 EBITDA and NET DEBT must be adjusted based on criteria defined in Annex III of the Draft of the Additive Term to the Concession Contract.

11 CLAUSE SEVEN - economic and financial sustainability

The Distribution Company commits to preserving, throughout the entire concession period, a condition of economic and financial sustainability in managing its costs and expenses, in solvency for debt, of investments in replacement, improvement and expansion, in addition to the responsibility for the collection of taxes and distribution of proceeds.

Sub-clause One – Noncompliance by the DISTRIBUTION COMPANY with the minimum parameters in economic and financial sustainability defined in this contract additive term shall imply in, without impairment to other inspection actions:

I – limitation of the distribution of dividends or payment of interest on company capital for amounts, that in isolation or together, exceed 25% of the net profit plus or minus the amounts meant for the legal reserve (art. 193 of Law no. 6,404, of 1976) and the reserve for contingencies (art. 195 of Law no. 6,404, of 1976) and the reversal of the reserve established in prior tax years, until the regulatory parameters are restored and can be observed using the regulatory accounting/financial statements for the tax year in case in point delivered to ANEEL;

II – acceptance of a restriction regime for contracts with related parties;

III – the requirement of capital inputs from the CONTROLLER SHAREHOLDER(S), in amounts sufficient to address the minimum sustainability condition, as detailed in Clause Thirteen.

For the purpose of obtaining an analysis of the situation of the companies with respect to the requirements for the extension of concessions, ANEEL calculated their EBITDA, using Technical Note number 0335/2015 – which was not updated, apply the methodology set out in the Additive Term, with the prospect of obtaining recurring values. For the calculation of the interest, SELIC was considered to be 12.75% (twelve whole and seventy-five per cent) p.y..12 The 111% (one hundred and eleven per cent) spread implies in a cost of 14.15% (fourteen whole and fifteen per cent) p.y.

Additionally, Deloitte evaluated the EBITDA and indebtedness designed the distributors in order to verify that would meet the targets set by ANEEL. The following tables show the EBITDA designed, as well as the capital investments required to meet the ANEEL goals, according to the assessment of the independent company, and also the debt amounts of Distribution Companies of regular resources of Eletrobras on 06/30/2016:

At this URL, agents can obtain the cumulative factor corresponding to the 12 (twelve) months of the competence. For specific purposes set out in Sub-clauses Two, the Selic shall be limited to the amount of 12.87% (twelve whole and eighty-seven one-hundredths of a percent) a year, in the event it exceeds this amount.

For the analysis of the fulfillment of economic and financial sustainability goals ANEEL, Deloitte considered capitalization to pay all the debts of ordinary resources held by distributors with Eletrobras (RO)13 and capital contributions by 2025, totaling about R$ 12.14 billion, in the scenario that considers the benefits of PLC 11/2016 and the neutrality of the gas contract for Amazonas Distribution Company, this neutrality addressed immediately afterwards. Of this amount, R$ 7.06 billion would be in 2016, of which R$ 4.05 billion for the payment of RO debt and R$ 3.0 billion for investments and other disbursements.

In the alternative scenario without the effects of PLC 11/2016 and the neutrality of the gas contract of Amazonas Distribution Company, this value will move to R$ 22.89 billion. Of this amount, R$ 9.0 billion would be in 2016, of which R$ 4.05 billion for the payment of RO debt and R$ 4.95 billion for investments and other disbursements.

 

As will be seen below, the Eletrobras Management considers only viable the extension of the concession if, the Federal Government contribute capital directly on those distributors by assignment of preemptive rights by Eletrobras, observed the Law 6,404/1976 and Decree 1,091/1994 the total amount needed to meet the goals required by ANEEL to the sale of the Distributor and for full settlement of the debt of ordinary resources Distributors with Eletrobras.

In addition, there is the need for increased generation of cash distributors and capital contributions, to meet the economic and financial sustainability goals.

If there is frustration in increased cash flow or not occur the sale of the controlling interest of the sales in 2017, may be required major capital contributions by the controlling shareholder to meet ANEEL debt level targets.

Regulatory limitations effects CCC repayment on Gas Contract in Manaus:

In addition, studies of Deloitte highlighted the need for addressing and overcoming the limitations that are occurring in the Fuel Consumption Account coverage amounts (CCC) in generation costs of Amazonas Distribution Company, which are causing no neutrality in the contract gas, imposed by: (i) Authorizing Resolution No. 2005 of ANEEL, of December 15, 2015, which approved the price of the share of natural gas transportation provided by CIGÁS - Amazonas gas Company to such Distributor in a lesser value than the contract price; and (ii) by the methodology used in the Technical Note 143/2015-SRG/ANEEL, of December 07, 2015, which instructed the Public Hearing No. 083/2016, later made official by Ordinance No. 314 of February 2, 2016 issued by the ANEEL General Director, which set the amount of natural gas to be reimbursed from CCC in 2016, related to commitments to take-or-pay and ship-or-pay the Urucu-Manaus pipeline of 4,076,156 m3/day less than the Daily Amount Contracted ("QDC") of 5,420,000 m3/day as stated in the Purchase and Natural Gas Sales Agreement No. OC-1902/2006, signed on June 1, 2006, before, so, the enactment of Law No. 12,111, of December 9, 2009, effective until November 30, 2030.

Deloitte in its report (Annex 3) shows the above situation, without these two new regulatory limitations issued by ANEEL (presented in the resolution and the order of the regulatory agency), which under the premise of perpetuity of this imbalance by the end of the term of mentioned Purchase Agreement and Natural Gas Sales No. OC-1902/2006 will result in a significant decrease in both economic value and in the settlement of the Distributor in the amount of R$ 6,798.2 million in the scenario without the PLC 11/2016 as indicated in the following table:

It is noteworthy that Deloitte also presented analysis of sensitivity if the billing of gas supply become to be made using as part of the natural gas transport, both in the gas bill received as the debit notes of "fringe expenses," the price which is approved by ANEEL (Ratifying Resolution No. 2005/2015) and not the contract price charged, which is 30.5% higher. In this situation was identified that the decrease in economic value and liquidation value would be reduced to R$ 3,069.1 million, with a reduction of contributions amounts.

It is noteworthy that the Amazonas Distribution Company filed, timely, a request for reconsideration by letter PR No. 036/2016 submitted to the Director General of ANEEL, which had not yet conclusive assessment is imperative, therefore, the resolution of this issue by ANEEL and the Grantor.

Being held the aforementioned regulatory constraints, the impact calculated by the consultant on the need for investments and savings in the scenario without the benefits of PLC 11/2016, reaches about R$ 31.54 billion, as indicated in the following table:

 

For alleviating the situation created by such regulatory constraints, is being discussed, under monitoring of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, with Aneel and Petrobras, a review by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) the price of natural gas, and also a definition with Petrobras new profile QDC Contract OC-1902/2006 to be the Blessed Sacrament through a contract amendment, considering a "natural gas consumption curve" to extend the supply of natural gas by 2043, to meet TPU Mauá 3, the Amazon Generation and Transmission (AMGT), balancing the non-use of contractual QDC of 5.42 million m3/day with the limitations of maximum annual gas consumption until the end of the current contract, considering the installed capacity of thermal plants fueled by natural gas that are available, taking into account that while come into operation TPP Mauá 3 in October this year, the TPPs Aparecida and Mauá Bloco III will be disabled in 2020, end face of the period of the grant, and the five (05) existing IPPs in Manaus will have their contracts terminated in 2025, reversing the assets thereof to Amazonas Distribuidora.

If it not overcame the issue in the ANEEL environment and the negotiation mentioned in the previous paragraph, the Amazonas Distribuidora will seek with ANEEL, authorization to continue as own generation, with the TPUs of Manaus, today of the IPPs, but whose assets will revert to the Distributor in 2025 at the end of their contracts.

It should be registered that in the liquidation scenario, the existence of the Contract OC-1902/2006 is a point which is to be weighed if the mentioned contract cannot be transferred to the Amazonas Generation and Transmission or another concessionaire.

 2.1.4 Tariffs Applicable to Service Delivery: Clause Six of the Additive Term

 

Clause Six of the Additive Term deals with the issue of the tariffs applicable to the service delivery. Highlighting the sub-clause one, in which the Distribution Company recognizes that the current tariffs are sufficient for the adequate delivery of the service and the preservation of the economic-financial balance for this contract14. With the need for recognition, by signing the Additive Term, that the current tariffs are sufficient for the delivery of the service and the preservation of the economic balance, the possibility of success in eventual regulatory requests underway is reduced.


14 “CLAUSE SIX – TARIFFS APPLICABLE TO SERVICE DELIVERY

Sub-clause One – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY recognizes that the tariffs in force on the date of signature of this Additive Term, together with the rules for Tariff Adjustment are sufficient and adequate for the delivery of the service and preservation of the economic-financial balance of this Contract.

The revenue of the Distribution Company will continue to be divided into two parcels: Parcel A and Parcel B15. The current tariffs will be readjusted on an annual basis, except in the years in which there is the ordinary tariff review16. Tariff reviews will be undertaken at every 5 (five) years.17

2.1.5 Corporate Governance, Transparency and Conditions for Extension of Concession: Clauses Eight and Eighteen of the Additive Term

 

In addition to the commitments with the targets in quality of service and economic-financial targets, Decree number 8,461, of June 02, 2015, stipulates in its inset I, sole paragraph, of its article 2, that the draft of the Additive Term should contain Clauses that:

“ensure the economic-financial sustainability of the concession holders and specify guidelines to reinforce corporate governance and minimum economic and financial indicators, including the obligation for capital inputs by the controlling shareholders.”

In this sense, ANEEL introduced in the Additive Term, through Clause Eight, corporate governance and transparency rules as condition for the Distribution Companies to provide their essential public utility service18.

In Sub-clause One, the disposition that ANEEL can defined by regulation any rules in connection with Management, including Board of Directors and Executive Board, to the Audit Council, to audit and to compliance stands out. In addition, the sub-clause indicates that the management compensation policy must be aligned with the long-term nature of the concession19.

ANEEL Technical Note number 0175/15 (Annex 5) mentions the ANEEL other public hearing underway, number 072/1420, in which the proposed corporate governance regulation in concession holders is being discussed. Below, the other governance measures emphasized in the Additive Term are shown:

 


15Sub-clause Two – Tariff Adjustment consists in breaking down the "Required Revenue" into tariffs to being charged from users and includes the following mechanisms set out in this clause: tariff readjustment, ordinary tariff review and extraordinary tariff review.

Sub-clause Three – for the purposes of tariff adjustment, the required Revenue shall not include the following taxes incurred on the tariff PIS/PASEP (Programa de Integração Social – Programa de Formação do Patrimônio do Servidor Público), COFINS (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social) and ICMS (Imposto sobre Operações relativas à Circulação de Mercadorias), and shall comprise two parcels:

Parcel A: parcel of the revenue corresponding to the following items: i. Sector Charges; ii. Electric Energy Purchased; iii. Costs with Connection and Use of the Transmission and/or Distribution of Electric Energy Facilities”; and iv. Non-recoverable Revenues.

Parcel B: parcel of the revenue associated operational and capital efficient costs, including expenses with depreciation, of the segment of distribution of electric energy.

16Sub-clause Four – Regular tariff readjustment will take place on an annual basis, starting on xx/xx/2016, except for the years in which there is ordinary tariff review, based on the calendar defined in Sub-clause Thirteen of this Clause.

17Sub-clause Thirteen - Ordinary tariff reviews will follow the following schedule: first review will be undertaken on xx/xx/2017 and the following ones at every 5 (five) years counted from this date.

18Clause Eight - Corporate Governance and Transparency - The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY commits to applying its best efforts to preserve its levels of governance and transparency aligned with the best practices and in harmony with its condition as provider of an essential public service. “

19Sub-clause One – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY commits to addressing the minimum governance and transparency parameters established by ANEEL regulation that, among others, may comprise rules related to the Management, the Audit Council, Audits and Compliance.

·         maintenance at ANEEL of a statement from all management and audit councilors21;

·         a list of the acts to be submitted prior approval by ANEEL: legal business with related parties, amendment to the articles of incorporation and transfer of control;

·         obligations of the Distribution Company in so far as concerns accounting records in the terms indicated by the sector regulation;

Additionally, Eletrobras Corporate Governance and Enterprise Performance Management Department (Departamento de Governança Corporativa e Gestão do Desempenho Empresarial) (PGG) analyzed the Additive Term made available by ANEEL and, by way of memorandum PGG-114/2016 (Annex 9), manifested favorably to the governance practices required by ANEEL in the referred document.

There is also a consequence established in Clause Eighteen of extinction of the concessions in the event of noncompliance for 2 (two) consecutive years or of any of the conditions at the end of the five-year period22.

2.1.6 Additional Considerations

 

The following considerations should also be highlighted:

 

·       The assumptions established in the Results Plan for the Distribution Companies, as well as their projection for the fifth year, must be fully met in order to achieve the quality indicators;

·       The assessment undertaken by Deloitte considers specific assumptions, as shown in Annex 3, among which the privatization of the Distribution Companies in 2017 and also the capitalization of the debt of the sales to the source of Eletrobras common resources (RO);

·       Privatization of the Distribution Companies in 2017 is not exclusively dependent on Eletrobras, given that a number of steps must be adopted by the National Privatization Council, in the terms of Law  9,491, of September 9, 1997 and its regulations;

·       Additional obligations and restrictions for the Distribution Companies and their controllers were added in the Additive Term, such as:

o   Restriction of distribution of dividends above the legal minimum and payment of interest on company capital in case of noncompliance with the targets;

o   obligation of capital contribution by the controlling shareholder in case of noncompliance with the targets;

o   the need to meet annual targets, starting in 2017, both from the standpoint of quality and from the standpoint of economic-financial sustainability, under the penalty of loss of the concession, according to the conditions set out in this report and in the Additive Term;

o   recognition of the economic-financial balance at the moment of signature of the Additive Term, in accordance with Sub-Clause One of Clause Six;

o   Insertion of rules and parameters in corporate governance, which will be object of future regulation by the Agency.

·         In order to sign the Additive Term, the Distribution Companies must prove fiscal, labor and sector regularity, which might demand financial resources, in the case of companies holding outstanding past-due debts of this nature past due.

 


 21Sub-clause third – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY shall maintain at ANEEL, since the date of signature of the Contract, statement by all its Management of Officials and Audit Councilors stating that they understand their role and responsibilities stemming from the management of an essential public utility service, accepting the responsibility and accountability for the quality and timeliness of the information provided within the scope of their competence and for their legal responsibility and accountability in providing accounting information to the Public Power, updating the statements within 30 (thirty) days counted from the date of signature of the Term of Inauguration.

22CLAUSE EIGHTEEN – ON THE CONDITIONS FOR EXTENSION - in addition to the previous dispositions set out in this Contract, the Concession Holder must address, for the period of 5 (five) years counted from January 1, 2017, the extension conditions established in Annexes II and III.

Sub-clause One – Noncompliance with any of the extension conditions set out in Annexes II and III for two consecutive years or of any of the conditions at the end of the five-year period, shall result in the extinction of the concession, respected the dispositions of this contract, in particular the right to full defense and contradiction.

2.1.7 Scenario of Non Extension of the Concession Contract

 

The scenario of non-extension of the concession contract, i.e., termination of the concession contract and, consequent, indemnity of the assets of the concession holder and their liquidation implies in the following factors, and other possible, factors:

·       distribution Companies have high levels of indebtedness and legal claims;

·       receiving by the Distribution Companies of indemnity for the assets not fully depreciated or amortized during the concession period, whose values are still subject to sign off by the Granting Power, as well as the form, conditions and terms for said payments;

·       indemnifying for assets linked to the concession and reception of the other realizable assets in the short and long terms inferior to the total debt held by the Distribution Companies, due to the negative net equity;

·       considering that losing the concession that comprises the main and relevant activity for the Distribution Companies, their liquidation would be inevitable;

·       in case of winding up the Distribution Companies, ELETROBRAS may be obliged to make additional capital inputs, in the role of controlling shareholder, in order to meet all the obligations of the Distribution Companies, in particular in so far as concerns the obligations to which ELETROBRAS is the guarantor;

·       loss of all the amounts invested by ELETROBRAS, in the quality of controlling shareholder;

·       dismissal costs for the entire staff and rescission of third-party service contracts, materials and others may result in an additional, difficult to measure onus;

·       on the other hand, Eletrobras will not have to make any additional capital contribution concerning the new targets established in the Additive Term; and

·       In the case of end of business of Amazonas Energia D, high costs of the closure of the Contract OC-1902/2006 Purchase and Sale of Natural Gas, signed with Amazonas Gas Company (CIGÁS), if it does not get regulatory approval and agreement Petrobras and/or Cigás to transfer it to another dealer and/or Amazon Generation and Transmission.

 

The table below shows in a simplified manner, assets and liabilities for the Distribution Companies in December 2015:

 

 

25


 

 

 

 

 

 

The table clearly shows that liabilities are higher than assets, resulting in a negative net equity. In the event of liquidation of the Distribution Companies, this difference between assets and liabilities may increase given that on the asset side not all would be realizable in the short term, where in the liability side, the majority would.

Liquidation costs were analyzed by Deloitte, as shown in Annex 03, and may be impacted by additional expenses that appear during the execution of the liquidation process, for which there is no experience in the country for concession holders of the public utility service of electric energy. In Deloitte’s assessment, for comparison purposes, capitalization of the debt held by the Distribution Companies with Eletrobras of ordinary resources (RO) was considered in calculating the cost of liquidation, similar to the form used in calculating the NPV for the cash flow for the extension scenario.

2.1.8 Scenario of Extension of Concession:

 

The concession extension scenario, i.e., continuity of the concession contract may generate the following effects, and not only these, with the risks in highlight described in item 2.1.9, following:

·       the continuity of concessions and, therefore, of the Distribution Companies, enables the use of the tax losses accumulated, which can be a relevant asset in a scenario of improvement of the operating results for the Distribution Companies or in a future lien of the shares of said Distribution Companies in 2017;

·       If Distribution Companies do not achieve the targets set out by ANEEL for the extension of the concession, addressing the penalties foreseen, they will be entitled to indemnity for the assets linked to the concession and other realizable assets in the short and long terms, which means that the scenario of liquidation/discontinuity of the distribution company can always be revisited, whereas the scenario of extension of the concession can only be administered at this moment in time, being, therefore, a definitive decision;

·       the extension of the concession is a basic condition for an eventual future decision about the lean of the shares of the Distribution Companies, considering that these are included in the National Privatization Program (Programa Nacional de Desestatização) (hence forth herein “PND”);

·       the study undertaken by Deloitte that compares the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow projected for each Distribution Company for thirty years with the liquidation cost for each one, addressed the assumptions indicated in said study, shows that it’s more advantageous to extend than to liquidate, in a scenario that considers PLC 11/2016 sanctioned without caveats, as can be seen in the following table:

2.1.9. Risks Involved in the Extension of the Concession of the Distribution Companies:

 

Considering the targets required by ANEEL for the extension of the electric energy distribution concessions and the analysis undertaken by Deloitte, below we list the main risk involved, but there may be others:

·         incapacity by Eletrobras of having available or raising economic and financial resources, as the controlling shareholder of the Distribution Companies, to perform the capital increases mentioned in item 2.1.3;

·         the need to provide budget for the resource inputs mentioned in item 2.1.3;

·         possibility for the capital inputs to be higher than those established in item 2.1.3, in the event that the increase in generation of cash of the Distribution Companies does not happen or in the event that the assumptions considered in this Management Proposal, in the Deloitte assessment and in the technical Notes attached do not come through;

·         due to the unavailability of resources at Eletrobras, its controlling shareholder, since the signature of Additive Term, may have to perform capital increases directly in the Distribution Companies, for the purpose of addressing the needs it increase in capital dealt with in item 2.1.3 of this Management Proposal, as well as in amounts sufficient for the Distribution Companies to fully settle their debts with Eletrobras. The increase in capital by Federal Government directly to the Distribution Companies, by way of ceding the right of preference by ELETROBRAS, addressed in Law 6,404/1976 and Decree 1,091/1994, will generate a dilution of Eletrobras shareholding interest in said Distribution Companies;

·         the increase in capital in the Distribution Companies Eletrobras’s controlling shareholder shall be made by way of cession of the right of preference by Eletrobras to the Federal Government, and depends on meeting the dispositions contained in Law 6,404/76 and Decree 1,091/94 and must be preceded by the pertinent regulatory and governmental authorizations, as well as the budget availability;

·         the Federal Government may not have budget available to perform all the capital inputs mentioned in the previous item or believe it does not have the legal authority to do this input directly;

·         if the concession of the Distribution Companies is extended and the increase of capital by the Federal Government does not occur directly in the Distribution Companies following the signature of the Additive Term, the following consequences may result: (i) Possibility for Eletrobras to require an increase in capital to face its obligation of capitalizing the Distribution Companies; (ii) Possibility for an increase in the indebtedness of Eletrobras in order to meet its obligation to capitalize the Distribution Companies, taking into account that under the current adverse economic-financial conditions in the country, it is not possible to guarantee that the attraction of funds in the required volumes and under attractive conditions would be possible or plausible; and (iii) Possibility of expiry and extinction of the concessions of the Distribution Companies, due to the lack of input in capital in amounts sufficient to address the targets required by Aneel;

·         Possible enactment of expiry and consequent extinction of the concession of the Distribution Companies in the hypotheses of noncompliance with the obligations set out in the Additive Term;

·         Application of penalties23 set out in the Additive Term;


23ClAusE TEN – Sub-clause One – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY is subject to the penalty of a fine applied by ANEEL in accordance with specific resolution, for a maximum, per violation incurred, of 2% (two percent) of the turnover amount for the concession holder in the last 12 (twelve) months prior to the notification of the violation, in the terms of item X of article 3 of Law no. 9,427/1995.

 

 

 

27


 

 

 

 

 

 

·         Restriction placed on the Distribution Companies for payments of dividends/Interest on Company Capital-JCP and acceptance of a restrictive contract regime with related parties in the hypotheses set out in the Additive Term;

·         Difficulty in managing the cash flow of the Distribution Companies and risk of delinquency with sector commitments that may lead to consequences such as the impossibility to apply the new tariff readjustments and restriction to the reception of credits resulting from the funds of the Economic Development Account (Conta de Desenvolvimento Econômico – CDE);

·         The Distribution company being impeded from signing the Additive Term due to being unable to to attest to sector, tax, labor compliance;

·         the need for input of resources in the distribution companies may restrict the other investments by Eletrobras in generation and transmission;

·         it is not possible to guarantee that the financial projections will effectually be achieved based on the expectation of ELETROBRAS Management, given that the assumptions adopted may not come true due to exogenous contextual or operational factors, resulting in relevant variations in the financial analysis of the Distribution Companies;

·         the imminent need to adopt measures for the sale of the shareholding control of the Distribution Companies to private initiative by 2017, with the conclusion of this process depending on regulatory and governmental authorization, in particular of the National Privatization Council (Conselho Nacional de Desestatização), which are not controlled by Eletrobras.

·         it is not possible, at this point in time to evaluate the market value of the Distribution Companies, potential interested parties and the time required for conclusion of the sale, given that the sale of the shareholding control in these Distribution Companies must address the applicable legislation in the National Privatization Plan;

·         due to the dispositions of Sub-Clause One of Clause Six of the Additive Term in which the Distribution Company recognizes that the current tariffs are sufficient for the adequate delivery of the service and the preservation of the economic-financial balance for the Contract24, signing the Additive Term may reduce the possibility of success in regulatory requests underway, except for those caveats inserted in the Additive Term and accepted by ANEEL;

·         Deloitte’s assessment considers the benefits of Bill of Law of Conversion number 11, of 2016, of Provisional Measure number 706, of 2015, still awaiting sanction from the President of the Republic;

·         Regarding the Amazonas Distribuidora, not removing or not addressing the economic and financial consequences in Amazonas Distribuidora application of Ratifying Resolution No. 2005/2015, Aneel, of and Order No 1,513/2016 of the Director General of that Agency that is generating no neutrality Contract OC-1902/2006, to limit the reimbursement of CCC in lower than those actually billed by CIGÁS against the Distributor.

·         Concerning Ceron, not mitigation overcontracting situation above 5%, due to the sharp reduction in consumer market that Distributor, due to the national economic recession and in the State of Rondonia, whose mitigation is being sought for the distributors in this situation, through the Brazilian Electricity Distributors Association (ABRADEE) with the Ministry of Mines and Energy25.

 

 


24“CLAUSE SIX – TARIFFS APPLICABLE TO SERVICE DELIVERY

Sub-clause One – The DISTRIBUTION COMPANY recognizes that the tariffs current on the date of signature of this Additive Term, together with the Tariff Readjustment rules are sufficient for the adequate delivery of the service and the preservation of the economic-financial balance of this Contract.

2.1.10. Management Conclusion

 

By analysis of all that was Exposed in this chapter, the Company Management considers that: (i) the actions to be undertaken at the Distribution Companies to achieve the new targets required by ANEEL are relatively aggressive, and it is important to have present all the risks Exposed in this Management Proposal; (ii) that PLC no. 11/2016, dealing with the Law of Conversion of Provisional Measure 706/2015, is sanctioned by the President of the Republic without any amendments is so far as concerns the benefits mentioned in the Management Proposal impacting on the results of Amazonas Energia and Boa Vista Energia; (iii) from the economic and financial standpoint, the extension of the concession of the Distribution Companies, and in particular of Amazonas Energia, due to its differentiated concession area, will require significant resource inputs, for which the Company, at this point in time, does not have budget or sufficient financial resources, which may result, based on the risks pointed out in this management proposal, in the need of adapting its budget, as well as of increasing the capital of ELETROBRAS or increasing its level of indebtedness, which in the current adverse macroeconomic conditions of the country and economic-financial conditions of the company, cannot be guaranteed in terms of attracting the funds in the necessary volumes and under attractive conditions; (iv) capital contributions necessary for the distribution companies meet the Aneel's goals should be made by the controlling shareholder Federal Government directly into the distribution companies up to the date of July 25, 2016, the minimum amount of R$ 7 billion (as capital needs described on page 20 of this Proposal Management), by assignment of preemptive rights for the capital increase subscription by Eletrobras in favor to the Federal Government in order to avoid capital increase in Eletrobras, with the risk of dilution of minority shareholders of Eletrobras that do not wish to follow this increase; (v) on the other hand, not extending the concession shall imply in high liquidation cost, for which Eletrobras also has no immediate budget and financial availability, both of which will be required, and may exceed the estimates provided by Deloitte; (vi) in view of the resources already invested by the Company over the past few years in the distribution companies, the extension of the concession can be considered by the Administration provided that linked to the immediate action of sale of the controlling interest of the sales by 2017, so that Eletrobras will avoid immediate winding up costs equally high; (vii) extension of the concession is a basic condition for an eventual future decision about the lien of the shares of the Distribution Companies, considering that these are included in the National Privatization Plant, adopting prior arrangements to the signing of Additive Term of electric energy distribution concession contracts for sale of the controlling interest of that Distributor, by the end of 2017, pursuant to Law 9,491 of September 9, 1997 and its regulations; (viii) at this point in time, it is not possible to evaluate the market value of the Distribution Companies, the potential interested parties and the timeframe required for conclusion of sales; (ix) in the event of sale of the Distribution Companies, the time required to undertake this action is basic in determining the volume of input of resources to be performed by Eletrobras; and (x) if the Distribution Companies do not achieve the targets set by ANEEL for extension of concession, with no impairment to the emphasis necessary for the penalties foreseen, they will be entitled to indemnity for the assets linked to the concession and other assets realizable in the short and long terms, which means that the scenario of liquidation/discontinuity of the Distribution Company may always be revisited, whereas a scenario for extension of concession can only be assessed and undertaken at this point in time, therefore being a definitive decision.

 

The Company's management believes that, in the event of non-compliance of the above conditions, the concessions of the 6 (six) Distribution Companies should not be extended. And in case of dissolution of the Utility Companies, such operations shall be preceded by authorization of the National Privatization Council - CND, as described in of Law No. 9,491/97.

 

As said above, and the assessment performed by Deloitte, the Administrators manifest their opinion as follows, for each Distribution Company, highlighting all the risks foreseen in this Management Proposal:

The Company's management believes that, in the event of non-compliance of the above conditions, the granting of Boa Vista Energia should not be extended.

 

The Directors report that do not consider viable the signing of the Additive Term to electric energy distribution concession contracts, of any Distribution Company, without meeting the conditions explained above.

 

Nevertheless, considering the sovereign decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting, it is important to clarify that shareholders can decide on the extension of any concession without answering any condition, without prejudice to the opinion of the admins. However, it is important to clarify that, if approved the extension of any concession under any condition laid down in this Administration Proposal or other(s) approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, in not being these conditions fully implemented by the execution date of its Additive Term, the Company cannot sign them, since these instruments are standardized by Aneel and do not accept signature under suspensive conditions. In this regard, the approval by the shareholders of extension granted on condition not timely made, before the signing of Additive Term, have the effect of non-approval.

Annex 14

Scenarios for election of members to the Company Board of Directors

 

In line with the best practices in corporate governance, this company hereby clarifies the rules and possible scenarios were election of members to the Board of Directors by non-controlling shareholders, as follows:

 

1.           Nomination of Candidates by Non-Controlling Shareholder’s:

Shareholders interested in nominating candidates to the Company Board of Directors are requested to do so, preferably, in up to 3 (three) working days before the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, convened for July 22, 2016, using the written notice through a letter sent to the Departamento de Relações com Investidores – DFR, Divisão de Atendimento ao Mercado – DFRM, at Av. Presidente Vargas, n° 409 – 9th floor, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, containing the full name and qualification of the candidate, as well as any other information required by CVM Instruction 481.

 

Additionally, shareholders are requested to submit the nomination of the member to the Board of Directors in the terms above to, at the same time, in addition to the information required for the nomination, submit copy of the declaration, on the candidate, object of Article 2 of CVM Instruction no. 367, of May 29, 2002, or declare having obtained from the respective candidate the information that he/she is capable of signing this instrument, and indicating any eventual caveats.

 

Candidates must fill the requirements established in the Law of Business Corporations and by the Company By-Laws in order to be elected to the role of member of the Company Board of Directors.

 

In addition, the candidate will have to make a explicit declaration, before the respective election, of not having any impediments for the election to the role of member of the company Board of Directors , in the terms of Article 147, paragraph three, of the Law of Business Corporations and/or Article 23 of the Company By-Laws or, in the event of there being impediment(s), inform them for the purpose of evaluating a possible waiver by the Extraordinary General Meeting. If said candidate is not in attendance at the Extraordinary General Assembly, shareholders nominating the candidate must declare they have obtained from the candidate information that they are in conditions of signing said instrument, advising on possible caveats, and taking on responsibility, in the terms of the law, for the statement.

 

Information relative to the candidates nominated by shareholders are disclosed by the Company in category “Notice to Shareholders”, made available at the Company website (www.eletrobras.com/elb/ri) and that of CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) in up to 2 (two) business days after receiving the official nomination by letter.

 

Notwithstanding the above mentioned timeframe, shareholders can present candidates to member of the Board of Directors during the Assembly, with these nominations being made together with the necessary documents and information above set out to be made available to all shareholders and attendance.

 

2.           Board of Directors:

2.1. Number and Term of Office of Members of the Board of Directors:

 

The Company By-Laws, in Article 17, established the Board of Directors will be comprised of 10 (ten) members, to wit: (i) 06 (six) members nominated by the Ministry of State of Mines and Energy; (ii) 01 (one) member nominated by the Ministry of State Planning, Budget and Management; (iii) 01 (one) member elected by the minority interest shareholders holders of shares with right to vote, in a separate vote process; (iv) 01 (one) member elected by shareholders holders of preferential shares, representing, as a minimum, 10% (ten per cent) of the Company social capital, in a separate vote process; and (v) 01 (one) member elected by the Company employees, in a procedure specifically carried out for this purpose, in compliance with the current legislation.

 

 

 

42


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company By-Laws, in Article 17, establishes that the term of office of the members of the Company Board of Directors will be of 01 (one) year, with reelection allowed.

 

On April 29, 2016, at the 56th General Shareholders Meeting of the Company, the following were elected to comprise its Board of Directors:

 

·       01 (one) member, in separate vote by minority interest shareholders with shares entitled to vote, as per Article 17, III, of the Company By-Laws;

·       07 (seven) members, through the multiple vote system; and

·       Extension of the term of office of 01 (one) member elected as representative of the employees, in the terms of Article 17, V, of the Company By-Laws.

 

 

At the General Shareholders Meeting of April 29, 2016, the opening established in Article 17, IV, of the Company By-Laws, for separate election by the shareholders of preferential shares representing, as a minimum, 10% of the equity capital was not filled.

 

In the above-mentioned meeting, no deputies were elected for the actual councilors.

 

However, Mr. Luiz Eduardo Barata, elected through the multiple vote system resigned to his term of office as councilor of the administration of the Company. Therefore, per force of Article 141, paragraph 3 of the Law of Business Corporations and in the terms of the precedents issued by the Collegiate of CVM, the resignation of the councilor elected by way of the multiple vote process, when there is no deputy, leads to the need of a new election for all the members of the Board of Directors elected through the multiple vote system, in the first General Meeting convened by the company following the date of resignation.

 

So, considering the resignation of Mr. Luiz Eduardo Barata, and the opening left unfilled set out in Article 17, IV of the Company By-Laws, by the holders of preferential shares representing, as a minimum, 10% (ten percent) of the Company social capital with right to vote, the following must be elected in the Extraordinary General Meeting herein convened:

 

(i)            07 (seven) members of the Board of Directors, to replace and supplement of the terms of office of the councilors elected at the 56th General Shareholders Meeting exclusively through the multiple vote system, and

(ii)           01 (one) member of the Board of Directors, in separate election, to fill 1 opening not filled in by the holders of preferential shares representing, as a minimum, 10% of the equity capital, as determined in Article 17, IV, of the Eletrobras By-Laws.

 

The term of office of the Board of Directors counselors elected in the 56th General Shareholder Meeting, held on April 29, 2016 and in the Extraordinary General Meeting convened July 22, 2016, will remain in force until the General Shareholder Meeting to be held in 2017.

 

The Company further emphasizes that, regardless of its endeavor to fill in all the openings in its Board of Directors, based on the technical opinion of the Superintendence of Corporate Relations of CVM, issued within the scope of CVM process no. RJ2015/4451, if the shareholders do not elect a sufficient number of members to fill the number of vacancies established in the Company Bylaws for the Board of Directors, the nomination of additional candidates by any shareholder in order to fill in the remaining openings will not be admitted.

 

 

 

43


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.2. Elections by Non-Controlling Shareholder:

 

In so far as concerns the scenarios and rules complied with by non-controlling shareholder for the election of the counselor to act representative in the Board of Directors, the company clarifies the following:

 

2.2.1. Ownership of shares and representation at the Extraordinary General Meeting:

 

In the terms of paragraph six of Article 141 of the Law of Business Corporations, the right to elect members to the Board of Directors of the company, as per paragraph four of the Law of Business Corporations, is limited to shareholders with evidence of the uninterrupted shareholding interest required by paragraph four above mentioned for the minimum period of 3 (three) months immediately prior to the date of the General Shareholder Meeting.

 

2.2.2. Non-Controlling Shareholder’s Holders of Ordinary Shares:

 

2.2.2.1. Multiple Vote: Article 141 of the Law of Business Corporations

 

As established in Article 141 of the Law of Business Corporations and Articles 1 and 3 of CVM Instruction no. 165, of December 11, 1991, as amended, Shareholders representing a minimum of 5% (five percent) of the Company voting equity capital may require the adoption of the multiple vote process for election of the members to the Company Board of Directors.

 

In case of the multiple voting system be requested, the multiple vote procedure is applicable for the election of 07 (seven) members of the Board of Directors. Therefore, this does not include the members elected by way of the separate vote process (a) such as the Company employee representative; (b) by non-controlling shareholders with right to vote; and (c) by non-controlling shareholders of preferential shares.

 

Non-controlling shareholders who chose to, at the 56th General Shareholder Meeting, held on April 29, 2016, participate in separate election process for a member of the Board of Directors, in the terms of Article 17, III, of the Company By-Laws, or the non-controlling shareholders who choose to participate in a separate election process for a member of the Board of Directors, at this new General Shareholder Meeting herein convened, in the terms of item 2.2.2.2. below, will not be able to participate in the election via the multiple vote process with the same shares, if said process is requested, under the penalty of exerting their right to vote twice for a given share.

 

The adoption of this process must be required in up to 48 (forty-eight) hours in advance to the date of the General Shareholder Meeting convened for July 22, 2016.

 


 

 

 

44


 

 

 

 

 

 

2.2.2. Shareholders Holders of Preferential Shares:

 

Shareholders holders of preferential shares can elect, by simple majority, in a separate vote process, up to 01 (one) member of the Board of Directors, as long as said voting shareholders re-present, as a minimum, 10% (ten percent) of the total Company social capital. In the terms of Official Letter Notice/CVM/SEP/No.02/2016, for the purpose of calculation the percentage of 10% (ten percent), social total number of shares of the Company must be considered, excluded only those maintained in treasury.

 

In the same sense, as decided by the Honorable Collegiate of CVM in the records of the Administrative Proceeding CVM RJ2014/4375, the Company reiterates that for required quorum verification purposes will be considered only the ones held by preferred shareholders of the Company that are present at the General Meeting.

 

In the vote, in separate, to be made by the holders of preferential shares, controlling shareholders or entities directly or indirectly influenced by them are prohibited from participating.

 

In the terms of Official Letter Notice/CVM/SEP/No.02/2016, the impediment to vote is targeted to the shareholder who should evaluate whether his/her vote is, in any way, influenced by the controlling shareholder and, if they decide to vote in the separate election process, they must be able to present, on request after the Meeting, elements showing that there was no influence.

 

Also, are prohibited from voting for the position of holders of preferred shares, non-controlling shareholders who opted, at the 56th General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 29, 2016, to participate in the separate election process for a member of the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 17, III, of the Company's Bylaws, or the non-controlling shareholders who choose to participate in the election process by the multiple vote system, if this were to be asked, according to item 2.2.2.1, in this new Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

2.2.3. Joint Vote by Minority Interest Shareholders – Article 141, paragraph 5, Law of Business Corporations

 

The non-controlling shareholders holeders of preferred shares and non-controlling shareholders holders of common shares may not aggregate their shares to elect together 1 (one) member of the Board of Directors, since the non-controlling holders of common shares already have elected, based on Article 17, III of the Bylaws, one member of the Board of Directors.

 

 

 

 

45
