Regading the information stated above, by means of MME Ordinances No. 420, 421, 422, 423, 424 and 425, dated August 3, 2016, the Distribution Companies Amazonas Energia, Eletroacre, Ceron, Cepisa, Ceal and Boa Vista Energia, were appointed as Responsible for the Provision of the Public Service for the Distribution of Electric Energy, with the purpose of ensuring the continuity of service until the assumption of a new utility company or until December 31, 2017, whichever happens first.

 

Additionally, by means of MME Ordinance No. 425, dated August 3, 2016, and by means of Order of Minister of Mines and Energy, on August 11, 2016, the concession that was owned by Companhia Energética de Roraima - CERR, controlled by the State of Roraima, was terminated, and Boa Vista Energia became the temporary provider of the distribution service, effective as of January 1, 2017, in the area previously served by CERR.

 

By means of the Resolution of the Brazilian Electric Power Agency No. 2,184/2016, the monthly value to be received by each distribution company as a RGR loan was homologated1, and referred to as appropriate remuneration. This amount was calculated by ANEEL to eliminate the monthly cash deficit of these companies, based on financial information of 2015.

 

In October 2016, ANEEL forwarded to Eletrobras’ Distribution Companies the Instrument of Commitment and Temporary Distribution Service Provision Plan. The Instrument of Commitment is an instrument whereby the shareholders of the distribution companies undertake the commitment to abide by the conditions for the continuity and appropriateness of the service provided, especially regarding the following parameters: (i) compliance with the industry rules; (ii) loss of electricity; (iii) operating costs; (iv) Equivalent Duration of Interruption per Consumer Unit (DEC); (v) Equivalent Frequency of Interruption per Consumer Unit (FEC); (vi) Quality of information provided to ANEEL; and (vii) compliance with ANEEL’s inspection regulations. The Temporary Distribution Service Provision Plan establishes the conditions to ensure the continuity and the appropriate provision of the distribution service until the bidding and assumption of the new utility company, for approval by Eletrobras. The instruments above were approved by the Board of Executive Officers of Eletrobras by means of Resolution No. 636/2016.

1 Initially, the funds of RGR would be loans that the new controlling shareholder was expected to pay in 48 months after the execution of the concession contract, out of which, 12 months would stand as grace period for interests and principal, and 36 months would be for amortization purposes, at the cost of 111% of Selic. However, the current understanding of ANEEL and MME is that the payment of these RGR loans would significantly burden the future controlling shareholder of the distribution companies, reducing their attractiveness, and may frighten interested parties into the auction. Thus, by means of Technical Note 149/2017, a ANEEL, according to MME, there is positioning for the loan of RGR to start being paid by the consumer, through the tariff, between the 6th and the 30th year of the new concession.

Management Proposal & Call Notice | 170th Extraordinary General Meeting

 

 

It should be noted that during the precarious concession period of the Distribution Companies, both MME and ANEEL participate actively in their management of the distribution companies appointed for the provision of services. In MME Ordinance No. 388/2016, it was established, in its chapter IV, that the provision of the service would be monitored, inspected and regulated by ANEEL.

 

Aiming this purpose, ANEEL, by means of Normative Resolution No. 748/2016, ruled down, among other measures, that the senior management of the appointed distribution companies should monthly attend to ANEEL, as of January 2017, which has been happening, to render accounts concerning the execution of the agreed on Temporary Service Plan, in order to present the results achieved concerning each of the monitored indicators, as well as the actions implemented and under implementation to comply with said plan.

 

Due to these deliberations, the Distribution Companies were qualified as a national priority in the energy sector, under the terms of Article 1, Article 4, caput, Item II, and Article 5 of Law No. 13,334/2016, and the National Bank for Economic and Social Development - BNDES was designated as responsible for the execution and monitoring of the privatization process of the Distribution Companies, as stated in Decree No. 8,893/2016 and by the contracting of assessments and consultants responsible for the privatization modeling.

 

BNDES engaged Consortium Mais Energia B to structure the Distrobution Companies privatization, which includes their economic and financial assessment, identification of critical points with a proposal for addressing them, studies on implementing necessary adjustments for the purposes of recommending a sale price for the Distribution Companies' shares and/or the minimum grant amount, a proposed privatization model, and other products and services required for structuring the privatization intended, through a service agreement signed on February 14, 2017, and published in the Official Gazette on March 8, 2017.

 

Consortium Mais Energia B led the proposal for a privatization model for the Distribution Companies, conducting their economic and financial assessment, and providing legal, accounting, technical and operational, and other specialized professional services. These services were provided by the companies that make up the Consortium, namely PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance & Recovery Ltda. ("PwC Recovery"), PricewaterhouseCoopers Serviços Profissionais Ltda. ("PwC SP" and, together with PwC Recovery simply "PwC"), Siglasul Consultoria Ltda.

2.2       Conditions for the sale of shares of the Distribution Companies

 

According to the studies carried out by Consortium Mais Energia B3, it is necessary, before the transfer of shares of the Distribution Company to the bidding’s winner(s), to ajust the Distribution Companies’ capital structure in order to the Distribution Companies’ shares have a symbolic value, considering that all of them, currently, have a negative equity value, as described above.

 

Article 3 CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017, caput

 

Accordingly, and in order to obtain a symbolic equity value of BRL 50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Brazilian Reais) in each Distribution Company, it was recommended that a capital increase and/or assumption of Distribution Companies’ debts be conducted by Eletrobras, with the consequent issuance of new shares, which shall be subscribed and paid in by Eletrobras through the conversion of debt claims held by Eletrobras against each of the Distribution Company. (Items , 4, 7, 10, 13 and 15 of the Call Notice).

 

According to CPPI Resolution 20/2017, as subsequently amended, Eletrobras shall perform adjustments to the Distribution Companies, at the following amounts:

 

I - Eletroacre: BRL 113,779,871.99 (One Hundred and Thirteen Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy-nine Thousand and Eight Hundred Seventy-one Brazilian Reais and Ninety-nine Cents);

Article 3 CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017, paragraph one

 

In addition to the adjustments provided for in the caput of this article, Eletrobras may, at the discretion of the General Meeting, and as included in the agenda, undertake the rights and obligations of the distribution companies, referring to the Fuel Consumption Account - CCC and the Energy Development Account - CDE, recognized in the Financial Statements of the Distribution Companies up to June 30, 2017, base date of the studies considering the adjustments, including the rights established in Item IX of Article 13 of Law No. 10,438, dated April 26, 2002, with the new wording given by Law No. 13,299, dated June 21, 2016, and Eletrobras shall, on the other hand, undertake the rights and/or obligations in an equivalent amount. That being, regarding the rights and obligations of the Fuel Consumption Account - CCC and the Energy Development Account - CDE, the general meeting may decide whether to transfer them to Eletrobras, by means of the transfer of rights and/or obligations of the distribution companies with third parties and suppliers in equivalent amounts, or maintain in the Distribution Company itself (Items 3, 6, 9 and 12 of the Call Notice).

 

As stated in the Technical Information DFP/DFF/DDE No. 001/2017; DFP/DFC/DDEF Nº 002/2017; and DFP/DFF/DDE Nº 001-B/2017 (Annex 11.a, 11.b and 11.c), the financial and economical unbalance of distribution companies operating in the North region of Brazil over the last years was found to be strongly impacted by the generation cost of oil-powered thermal power plants. Law No. 12,111, dated December 9, 2009, which provides for the electric energy services in Isolated Systems, sets forth that part of such costs4 is reimbursed by the Fuel Consumption Account - CCC.

 

Following the homologation of Law No. 12,783 of January 11th, 2013, conversion of Provisional Measure 579 of September 11th, 2012, it was established that the granting to CCC would be made by the Energy Development Account - CDE. However, resources from CCC/CDE were not sufficient to achieve the financial and economic balance of such distribution companies. Regarding this, there was a growing accumulation of past due debts since the distribution companies did not have the financial conditions to pay the fuel specially purchased from Petrobras and BR Distribuidora, considerably increasing the gas and oil debt of these companies over recent years.

 

Part of the debt of Amazonas Energia, Boa Vista Energia, Eletroacre and Ceron with Petrobras and BR Distribuidora are negotiated under contracts of admission of debt (“CCD’s”), which are backed up by receivables of CCC, also substantiated in contracts of admission of debt (“CCD’s”), between Amazonas Energia, Boa Vista Energia, Eletroacre and Ceron and CDE/CCC Fund.

However, it should be noted that ANEEL is under the process of inspecting the amounts released by CCC to the said distribution companies during the period from 2009 to 2016, with unfavorable results already presented to the Company, which may directly impact on the CCD contracts executed between the CDE/CCC Fund and distribution companies Amazonas Energia, Ceron, Eletroacre and Boa Vista Energia, as can be seen in ANEEL Order No. 2,504/2017, rectified on 10/27/2017 (Amazonas Energia) and Technical Notes SFF-SFG-SRG/ANEEL No. 110/2017 (Ceron), No. 90/2017 (Eletroacre) and No. 177/2017 (Boa Vista), which understands that the Distribution Companies, instead of being creditors of CDE/CCC Fund, are debtors, as explained below:

Source: 1 – ANEEL Technical Notes; 2 – Intermediary Financial Statements of suppliers as of 30/06/2017.

 

Based on the table above, it can be observed that ANEEL's Fiscalization established a value to be refunded to the CCC/CDE fund by all distribution companies, except for Boa Vista Energia, which in any case had its debt claim diminished and, if this understanding prevails, the value currently booked as debt claim in the distribution companies’ Financial Statements, can become a liability of about BRL 4 billion in the sum of the four distribution companies, resulting in a potential loss of up to BRL 12.4 billion, with a potential of drop of debt claim and recording of liabilities. 

 

In this sense, regardin the Items 3, 6, 9 and 12 of the Call Notice‘s Agenda, considering that the debt claims recorded in the Distribution Companies’ Financial Statements are under discussion within the Administrative Proceedings at ANEEL, Amazonas Energia (Proceeding 48500.004972/2016-34), Ceron (Proceeding 48500.005104/2016-71), Eletroacre (Proceeding 48500.005103/2016) and Boa Vista Energia (Proceeding 48500.000588/2017 and 48500.000587/2017), wich challenges the results of the inspections carried out by the Agency on the movement of the Fuel Consumption Account (CCC) resources to said companies. Resolution CPPI 20/2017 left for the Eletrobras’ General Meeting to decide whether Eletrobras should to assume such debt claims from the Distribution Companies, registered in the Financial Statements and, in return, assume their obligations with third parties at an equivalent amount, assuming the risk of eventual unfavorable final decision of Aneel or even the legal proceedings, or maintain such debt claims and obligations in the distribution companies. It should be noted that, if this General Meeting approves the assumption of these credits by Eletrobras, the prior consent of ANEEL will be required, pursuant to ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 699/2016.

 

DISCLAIMER: This document may contain forward-looking statements that reflect only our management's expectations, which are subject to risks and/or uncertainties (whether anticipated or not). The future results of our operations may differ from these expectations. Therefore, the reader should not rely solely on the information contained herein.

Management Proposal & Call Notice | 170th Extraordinary General Meeting

 

 

It should be noted that, in the event that the Regulatory Agency’s understanding is not reformed, while maintaining the inspection’s conclusion that the companies are indebted to the CCC Fund, except for Boa Vista Energia, instead of creditors, such debt claims may be written off from Eletrobras’ Assets, and it is also necessary to recognize a liability of R$ 4 billion, which is not recognized in connection with the Administrative Appeal, ongoing before Aneel. Therefore, in the case of approval of Items 3, 6, 9 and 12 of the Agenda of the Call Notice, it should be noticed that there is risk for Eletrobras to incur a potential loss of up to R$ 12.4 billion, impacting the Company's income and equity, when and in case the administrative and/or judicial discussion has an unfavorable outcome to Eletrobras.

 

Other Important General Conditions CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017

 

Once the equity value of the Distribution Companies has the symbolic value of BRL 50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Brazilian Reais), the Distribution Companies will have an equity value that allows the sale of the shares held by Eletrobras in the share capital of the distribution companies, except one common share, at a symbolic value of BRL 50,000.00 (fifty thousand Brazilian Reais).

 

This amount of BRL 50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Brazilian Reais) allows the sale of the Distribution Companies’ shares held by Eletrobras to the winning bidder, and, as a result, the privatization of the Distribution Companies occurs in a more appropriate manner, according to the studies above.

 

Therefore, the winner(s) of the bidding procedure shall acquire approximately 90% (ninety percent)5 of the Distribution Companies' shares held by Eletrobras at an approximate value of BRL 45,000.00 (forty-five thousand Brazilian Reais), in addition to compensating Eletrobras for the differentiated condition granted to the Distribution Companies’ employees and retirees within the scope of the Offer of Shares to Employees and Retirees (see item below), aside from mandatorily purchasing any remaining shares of this Offer of Shares, at the same price that was offered to employees and retirees, in order that the payment to Eletrobras of BRL 50,000.00 (Fifty Thousand Brazilian Reais) is allowed for transfer of 100% of the shares of the Distribution Company except one (1) common share, which shall remain with Eletrobras.

 

DISCLAIMER: This document may contain forward-looking statements that reflect only our management's expectations, which are subject to risks and/or uncertainties (whether anticipated or not). The future results of our operations may differ from these expectations. Therefore, the reader should not rely solely on the information contained herein.

5 Article 11, CPPI RES. 20/2017. The employees and retirees of the respective Distribution Company shall be offered the right to purchase the total shares held by Eletrobras, after the purchase of the controlling interest of the Distribution Company by the new controlling shareholder, except for the provisions under Article 2, Paragraph 2.

Paragraph 1The shares held by Eletrobras offered to employees and retirees shall be at least ten percent (10%) of the number of shares held by Eletrobras prior to the sale for the winning bidder.

Paragraph 2 For the purposes of offering, to employees and retirees, the shares shall be offered with a discount of approximately 10% (ten percent) of the minimum price per share, which shall be offset by the new controlling shareholder, in order to guarantee for Eletrobras the amounts established in Article 2º.

Paragraph 3 Eletrobras shall assign to the employees and retirees exercising the option to purchase the Distribution Company’s shares, the preemptive right to subscribe to the capital increase referred to in Article 10.

Paragraph 4 The shares not purchased by the employees and retirees of the Distribution Company shall be compulsorily purchased by the new controller, so that Eletrobras will remain with only one (1) common share.

Especially with regard to ELETROACRE, considering the existence of minority shareholders, we believe that the minority shareholders of that company should be granted the right to sell their shares held in the share capital of ELETROACRE to the winner(s) of the bidding procedure on the same terms and conditions on which Eletrobras will sell its shares in ELETROACRE to the winning bidder.

 

Soon after the sale of control to the winner(s) of the bidding, as a sine qua non condition for the completion of the privatization process, the winner(s) of the bidding procedure must conduct a new capital increase in the Distribution Companies aiming to optimize the Distribution Companies' capital structure, according to the CPPI Resolution 20/2017. In this opportunity, a term shall be opened, which shall not be less than 30 (thirty) days, in order for Eletrobras, as minority shareholder, to exercise its preemptive right to subscribe for new shares, proportionally to the number of shares that it holds in the Distribution Companies. Eletrobras will hold stock offers to the employees and retirees of each Distribution Companie, and for those employees and retirees exercising the option of purchasing shares under the scope of the Stock Option to the Employees and Retirees, Eletrobras will freely assign the preemptive right in the subscription in the capital increase in the Distribution Companies made by the new controlling shareholder, remaining with only one (1) common share, as provided in Paragraph 1 of Article 2 of CPPI Resolution no. 20, dated November 8, 2017 (Item 17 of the Call Notice).

 

Additionally, within 6 (six) months after the date of execution of the purchase contract between Eletrobras and the winning bidder, Eletrobras shall have the right to increase its participation in the Distribution Companies' share capital by up to 30% (thirty percent), pursuant to a Shareholders' Agreement to be signed between Eletrobras and the new controlling shareholder, according to the conditions provided for in the Privatization Modeling Proposal (Item 18 of Call Notice). It is an option of Eletrobras, to be decided in the future, after the new controlling shareholder is known, as well as its financial conditions, technical qualification and governance practices. On account of this, this General Meeting proposes the delegation of powers to the Board of Directors, so that it may subsequently decide on such option.

 

Lastly, over the term of 03 (three) years, starting as of the date of execution of the purchase and sale contract of the controlling shareholder of the distribution company, the controlling shareholder, winning bidder(s), shall have to repurchase them from the employees and retirees of company, if they are willing to sell them, provided that such shares were purchased under the scope of the Stock Option to the Employees and Retirees and/or the subscription of capital established in CPPI Resolution 20/2017.

The specific conditions and procedures for participation in the Auction are defined in the call for sale tenders.

 

2.5       Costs that shall be incurred by BNDES with the Privatization Process

 

BNDES, through Decree No. 8,893, of November 1, 2016, was designated as responsible for contracting for the services and providing the technical support necessary for the execution of the privatization of the Distribution Companies. In addition, according to Law No. 9,491/1997, BNDES is the manager of the National Privatization Fund (FND).

Decree No. 2,594, of May 15, 1998, which puts forth regulations relating to Law No. 9,491/1997, establishes that expenses with third-party services incurred by the management body directly or indirectly responsible for executing and monitoring the privatization process shall be reimbursed by the holder of the Share Depositary Receipts ("RDA").

 

In keeping with the provisions under Decree No. 8,893, dated November 1, 2016, BNDES engaged companies specializing in the provision of the service of structuring of the privatization of the Distribution Companies, as well as the hiring of the service of independent external audit for the process of privatization of the Distribution Companies.

 

As a result of the sale of the shares and financial settlement at an amount in excess of the costs incurred with the privatization, reimbursement shall occur after settlement, and only the net amount shall be transferred to Eletrobras, net of costs incurred in the selling process of the shares.

Eletrobras_marca_p_cor_RGB

Management Proposal & Call Notice | 170th Extraordinary General Meeting

 

2.10    Future capital increases by Eletrobras of the Distribution Companies (Item 18 of the Call Notice)

 

According to the CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017, Eletrobras shall be entitled the option to increase its interest in the capital stock of Distribution Companies at up to thirty percent (30%), according to provision to be established in the call notice.

 

The term for exercising the option shall be up to 06 (six) months, as of the date of execution of the purchase agreement between Eletrobras and the winning bidder.

 

The payment of the shareholding may be made upon conversion of the debt claims that Eletrobras still holds against the distribution companies in capital.

 

This way, Item 18 of the Agenda, proposes that the General Meeting delegates powers to the Board of Directors of Eletrobras to decide on future capital increases of the Distribution Companies, which had their privatization are approved, by means of the conversion of debts of said Distribution Companies, provided that the shareholding of Eletrobras in said Distribution Companies is 30% (thirty percent) of the capital, according to the CPPI Resolution No. 20/2017.  

 

Items 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 16 e 19 of the Call Notice of the 170th AGE: Dissolution and Liquidation of the Distribution Companies

2.11    Scenario of Liquidation and Dissolution of the Distribution Companies (items 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 16 and 19 of the Agenda)

 

In light of article 5 of Decree 9,192/2017, ANEEL will be able to bid for the distribution of electric power without the transfer of the shareholding control of the legal entity providing electric power public service, now provided by Eletrobras Distribution Companies. This is a case of pure granting of concession.

 

The granting of the distribution concessions will occur, among other hypotheses, if Eletrobras, as the controlling shareholder, does not approve, until February 8, 2018, the modeling of the privatization of the Distribution Companies defined by Resolution CPPI 20/2017.

 

In this context, since all the Distribution Companies were created with the primary purpose of providing public electric energy distribution service through concession, there will be a complete emptying of the corporate purpose of these companies, a scenario that had already begun with the disapproval, by Eletrobras, of the renewal of the Distribution Companies' concessions, and subsequent designation of these entities as temporary providers of electricity distribution services.

 

With the aforementioned unenforceability of the Distribution Companies' corporate purpose, the alienation of its shareholding control will be devoid of any legal sense or economic connotation, with which, inexorably, Eletrobras will only have to promote the dissolution of such companies, based on the deliberation that has already been taken at the 165th Extraordinary General Meeting, held on July 22, 2016, including with a favorable vote of the Federal Government.

 

DISCLAIMER: This document may contain forward-looking statements that reflect only our management's expectations, which are subject to risks and/or uncertainties (whether anticipated or not). The future results of our operations may differ from these expectations. Therefore, the reader should not rely solely on the information contained herein.

Management Proposal & Call Notice | 170th Extraordinary General Meeting

 

 

For this reason, if the 170th Extraordinary General Meeting approves the rejection of the privatization model of the Distribution Companies provided for in Resolution CPPI 20/2017, Items 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 16 of the agenda place Eletrobras shareholders the decision to approve the dissolution and liquidation of said companies.

 

The Distribution Companies’ liquidation form, as federal mixed capital corporations, however, is complex and controversial, and there are doubts as to the applicable legislation and the way in which it would occur, since these entities can not, by express legal subject to the bankruptcy and recovery regime applicable to other private companies, according to art. 2, I, of Law 11,101/2005.

 

In this context, the notorious Brazilian legal experts - Arnoldo Wald, Gustavo Binenbojm and Nelson Eizirik were hired, whose opinions point to the impact of Law No. 8,029/1990 on the hipoteses of dissolution and liquidation of the Distribution Companies,  even though a formal manifestation of the CPPI is ruled out ordering the dissolution of the Distribution Companies according to the rite of the said Law 8,029/1990, which will be a logical consequence of the loss of social objects of these societies (Annexes 8.a, 8.b, 8.c and 8.d).

 

The Article 23, caput and paragraph 1, of Law 8,029/1990, provides that the Feeederal Government shall succeed the entity, which may be extinguished or dissolved, in its rights and obligations arising from a legal norm, administrative act or contract.

 

In the rite of Law 8,029/1990, therefore, the Federal Government would be the universal successor to the rights and obligations of Eletrobras Distribution Companies. In this sense, all liens on liquidation shall be borne by the Federal Government, and Eletrobras, as controller of the Distribution Companies, shall not be liable for any responsability for an eventual remaining liabilities of the liquidation.

                                               

The universal succession of the Federal Government, according to these jurists, includes the debts of the Distribution Companies that have been guaranteed by Eletrobras, which is reinforced by the logic of the Fiscal Responsibility Law - Complementary Law 101/2000, whose art. 40, § 6 and 7, I, prohibit Eletrobras from providing guarantees, except when in favor of its controlled companies or subsidiaries.

However, this position is not shared by the Union's lawyers, who, in Note No. 00592/2017/CONJUR-MME/CONJUR-MP/CGU/AGU and in legal opinion PGFN/CAS/No. 2052/2017, in the annex, expressed by the inapplicability of Law No. 8,029/1990 to the case (Annexes 9 and 10).

 

Likewise, the Technical Note of Loeser e Portela Advogados, a member of the Mais Energia B Consortium, responsible for the execution of legal due diligence and legal counsel for the privatization process (Annex 8.g).

 

In view of the controversy that arose, Eletrobras’ Board of Directors determined the hiring of the eminent lawyers João Laudo de Camargo and Francisco da Costa e Silva, who corroborated the understanding of the lawyers of the Union in the sense of inapplicability of Law No. 8,029/1990 to the hypothesis, according to Executive Summary attached (Annex 8.f).

 

In addition, Interministerial Official Letter No. 906/MME/MF/MP (Annex 19) was issued, in which the Union expresses its opinion on the inapplicability of Law No. 8,029/1990 and its consequent inclination regarding the judicialization of ownership in the succession of the distribution companies’ debts and obligations.

 

In this sense, the decision made for the shareholders of Eletrobras at the 170th Extraordinary General Meeting rests on the choice between such liquidation scenario, in which there is controversy over who will bear the costs and burden, and the privatization scenario provided by Resolution CPPI 20/2017, in which Eletrobras, in order to make possible the sale of the control at R$ 50 thousand per Distribution Company, is obliged to make contributions of R$ 11.2 billion, through assumption and capitalization of debts, which can reach of R$ 19.7 billion if the company assumes debt in an amount equivalent to the Distribution Companies' credits to the Sectoral Funds CCC and CDE, still illiquid under the regulatory point of view.

 

Regarding this, it should be noted that, at request of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, an opinion was signed by the renowned legal expert Anderson Schreiber (Annex 8.e), who understood the commutativity of the assumption and capitalization operations proposed in Resolution CPPI 20/2017, which would be presented as more advantageous to the scenario of internalisation of liquidation costs (in the event that Law No. 8,029/1990 was considered inapplicable to the hypothesis), according to BNDES modeling and Technical Information DFP/DFC/DDEF nº 002/2017, it being pointed out, however, , which said opinion did not evaluate the possible application of Law No. 8,029/1990 due to the occurrence of any of the hypotheses of pure granting contemplated in art. 5 of Decree No. 9,192/2017 (Annex 1).

 

In addition, Item 19 of the agenda also provides Eletrobras' shareholders with the decision to approve the dissolution and liquidation of these companies, even though it approved the transfer of control of the distribution companies according to Items 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 15 of the order of the day, if the conditions set forth in items 10 and 15 do not occur or the period stipulated in the 169th Extraordinary General Meeting for the signature of the transfer agreement of the shareholding control held by Eletrobras in the distribution companies.

 

DISCLAIMER: This document may contain forward-looking statements that reflect only our management's expectations, which are subject to risks and/or uncertainties (whether anticipated or not). The future results of our operations may differ from these expectations. Therefore, the reader should not rely solely on the information contained herein.

3         The Managers’ Conclusion

 

As explained in chapter 2 above, emphasizing the risks described in this management proposal and the restrictions to be observed, the management, by a majority of votes, considers that, in view of the content of the Inter-ministerial Letter No. 906 MME/MF/MP, in which the Federal Government expresses its opinion about the inapplicability of Law No. 8,029/1990 and the consequent trend to have a discussion in courts about the ownership in the succession of the distribution companies' debts and obligations, as well as the need for managers to evaluate in this scenario the risk imposed on the conduction of our corporate business, on its permanence and relevance to several stakeholders, which impact cannot, at this moment, be weighed and measured in all its complexity and depth due to the moment it comes to the attention of the managers, who have no more diligent alternative than to opt for calling the 170th Extraordinary General Meeting, recommending the sale of shares of the distribution companies in light of the Resolution CPPI 20/2017, pursuant to items 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 15 of the call notice, which, faced with the internalisation of the liquidation by the holding company, as indicated by the technical studies added to this management proposal, is the least costly for us, given all the risks, costs and benefits highlighted in this management proposal, with particular emphasis on the imminent risk of us having to pay, at least in the short and medium term (during any judicial proceedings with the Federal Goverment), the relevant cost of any liquidation of the distribution companies, which would not be affordable due to our current economic and financial conditions.

However, managers recommend not to approve items 3, 6, 9 and 12 of the call notice, maintaining the CCC/CDE's credits in the respective distribution companies and the equivalent debts.

 

Finally, they recommend the approval of item 19 of the call notice, since, if the privatization of one or more distribution companies is not successful, we cannot permanently support said companies, being their liquidation more favourable.

 

In view of the foregoing, our management recommends that the shareholders carefully read all the documentation made available to them regarding the main aspects of the privatization and/or liquidation and dissolution of our distribution companies, including the annexes to this management proposal, and then approve what they consider to be the best alternative for us.

 

In view of the foregoing, the Company's Management recommends that the Shareholders carefully read all the documentation made available to them regarding the main aspects of the privatization and/or dissolution of the Distribution Companies of Eletrobras, including the Annexs to this Management Proposal and then approve it as they consider it to be the best alternative for the Company.

The future results of our operations may differ from these expectations. Therefore, the reader should not rely solely on the information contained herein.
