Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

 

Dear Shareholders,

It is with great honor and enthusiasm that, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I invite you to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting for Conciliation (“Conciliation EGM”) and the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meetings (“OEGM”) of Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (“Eletrobras” or the “Company”), to be held on April 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. (Brasília time), respectively, in an exclusively digital format. This is a significant milestone for all of us, and I would like to take this opportunity to share some reflections on the profound transformational journey we are undertaking and experiencing.

Since the historic privatization of Eletrobras in June 2022, we have made an unwavering commitment to building a true corporation, anchored in strong governance, operational efficiency, and performance. Our path is clearly defined: to achieve global leadership in generating sustainable value, positioning ourselves as a platform of energy intelligence and a business enabler for our clients. We strive for excellence in innovative solutions in clean and renewable energy, with high performance and market intelligence. Our goal is to consolidate Eletrobras as a benchmark organization in capital allocation, capable of attracting, developing, and retaining talent, while enhancing our natural vocation to secure a strategic position in the global renewable energy landscape.

Today, as we look back, we can already see not only profound structural changes but also a cultural transformation that is redefining and reshaping the very essence of the Company.

Our journey has been marked by formidable challenges, but it is precisely in the midst of storms that the most skilled sailors are forged. It has been no different at Eletrobras: great challenges, coupled with meritocracy, have shaped the construction of highly qualified teams within our Company. We are working to build a team of true champions—not only ready to win but especially willing to keep learning and evolving. Always with humility.

Humility is the key to breaking boundaries; it is the courage to acknowledge that there is always more to discover. If we want to grow, we must be willing to learn—and learning requires humility. It allows us to listen, to question, to test, to make mistakes, and to adjust course with agility.

The challenges we face on a daily basis push us into the unknown. And the only way to overcome the unknown is through knowledge. Only those with the humility to admit they do not know everything – and that there is always more to learn – can truly navigate the unknown. We believe that sustainable success is built upon an unquestionable foundation: the relentless pursuit of knowledge.

 

Page 3 


That is why we have been fostering a culture at Eletrobras where the pursuit of learning is constant. We want professionals who not only accept challenges but pursue them with curiosity and determination. We are cultivating a team that not only wears the Company’s jersey but embraces it with the intensity and passion needed for a relentless quest for knowledge, continuous learning, and excellence in everything they do. We believe that the Company's growth and shareholder return depend directly on the personal and professional growth of each individual.

Human beings learn throughout their lives, and at Eletrobras it must be no different. There is no growth without challenge, and no challenge without the courage to face the unknown. Pursuing goals means venturing into new frontiers, finding solutions to complex problems, and, above all, evolving constantly. It is through our goal-setting and cascading methodology, applied across all levels of the Company, that we ensure each individual effort contributes directly to the Company’s strategic outcomes.

For this reason, we are working to consolidate a robust model for people management and development, ensuring that each employee has clarity about their role and their contribution to the Company’s future. We have created structures dedicated to continuous training and innovation, transparent communication, and the strengthening of our organizational culture. Because having goals is not enough; everyone must know how to achieve them ethically, consistently, and effectively.

We believe that ethics and governance, combined with a culture of safety, are the cornerstone of the Company’s long-term sustainability. In this regard, the Board of Directors has once again demonstrated integrity, assertiveness, and firmness. A company’s reputation takes years to build but can be lost in moments. Trust, once earned, becomes one of the most valuable assets of any organization—and its foundation is uncompromising ethics. That is why we have been consolidating a governance model that prioritizes data-driven decision-making, transparency, and accountability. True leadership is not measured solely by the ability to achieve goals, but by how those goals are achieved.

We know that what sets average companies apart from extraordinary ones is the culture they build. Our mission is to form a team deeply committed to ethics, continuous learning, and results—to embed a culture of high performance and innovation. We want professionals who are dissatisfied with mediocrity, hungry for challenges, and driven by the desire to deliver innovative solutions in clean and renewable energy, positioning Eletrobras as a benchmark in innovation, performance, and market intelligence.

Eletrobras is undergoing the greatest transformation in its history. But transformation does not happen by decree—it requires engaged, committed, and prepared people to lead it. People find purpose and fulfillment when they feel part of something greater. Our challenge is to create this environment—one in which each employee not only understands but also takes pride in the impact of their work in shaping the future.

 

Page 4 


The results we have achieved so far are the reflection of a clear vision and a team dedicated to executing it with discipline, care, and ethics. But the future we envision—and will build—is even more ambitious and bold. Small dreams generate small challenges and limited learning. Dreaming big will take us further!

Our commitment is to move forward together on this journey of growth, innovation, and excellence as we pave the road toward Eletrobras’ admirable future. Dreaming big, working with method, strategy, and determination to break through the unknown.

Wishing us all an excellent shareholders’ meeting!

PARTICIPATION MANUAL

The guidelines for the participation and manifestation of the Admitted Shareholders through the Digital Platform will be transmitted by the OEGM Board and detailed in an instruction guide sent by the Company. Matters not on the agenda must be dealt with through the usual Investor Relations channels, and will only be attached to the minutes upon express request.

The Company is not responsible for factors that are not under the Company´s control.

Manifestations sent to the OEGM board by e-mail to assembleiavirtual@eletrobras.com, before the end of the Meeting, such as instability in the internet connection or incompatibility between the Digital Platform and the equipment used by the OEGM participant. It is recommended that Admitted Shareholders access the platform at least 30 minutes before the start of the Meeting.

Any questions or explanations may be clarified by the Financial and Investor Relations Vice President through the e-mail assembleiavirtual@eletrobras.com.

1.2. Distance Voting Ballot (BVD)

Shareholders may participate in the Meeting through BVD. Guidelines on the documentation required for remote voting are contained in the BVD, available on the websites: https://ri.eletrobras.com/, https://sistemas.cvm.gov.br/ and https://www.b3.com.br/pt_br/.

To participate in the Meeting through the BVD, the Company's shareholders must fill in the appropriate fields, sign the BVD and send it up to 4 days in advance of the date of the Meeting to the following recipients:

 

 

Page 7 


 
Bookkeeping agent Shareholders with book-entry shareholding positions may vote remotely through Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. (“Bookkeeping Agent”). In this case, the submission of the Distance Voting Ballot (BVD) must be made via the Itaú Assembleia Digital website. To do so, registration and a digital certificate will be required. Information on registration and step-by-step instructions for issuing the digital certificate are available at https://assembleiadigital.certificadodigital.com/itausecuritiesservices/artigo/home/assembleia-digital
Custody Agent Shareholders must verify with the custody agent if they will provide the service of receiving the BVD (“Custody Agent”). If so, Shareholders may, at their sole discretion, forward the BVD to the Custody Agent, following the appropriate procedures, which may incur potential costs.
Central depository Shareholders may, at their sole discretion, submit the BVD through “Investor Area” of B3 (“Central Depositary”) in the “Services” section, under the option “Open Shareholders’ Meetings.”.
Company

Shareholders may forward the BVD directly to the Company, provided that the BVD:

§   Only will be received when forwarded solely and exclusively through the https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025 website https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025. To access the system (i) the shareholder who is already registered on the platform must use the same access credentials, entering his e-mail and password; and (ii) the shareholder who has not yet accessed the platform must click on “Sign up now” and enter their e-mail address. The system will then forward a verification code to the email address provided, so that the shareholder can complete their registration.

§   It must contain the place, date and signature of the signatory shareholder. If the shareholder is considered a legal entity under the terms of the Brazilian law, the signature must be from its legal representatives or its attorneys with powers to perform this act.

§   It must be accompanied by documentation proving the status of shareholder or legal representative of the signatory shareholder, according to the requirements and formalities indicated in this Management Proposal.

 

The BVD will be considered invalid and will not be processed by the Company if it is not supported with the documentation required to prove the shareholder’s status or representation and/or if it is submitted after the deadline of 4 days before the Meeting.

Until the end of the submission period, the BVD may be corrected and resubmitted by the shareholder to the Company, in compliance with the procedures and other deadlines set out in RCVM 81, and no BVD will be accepted after the end of such deadline.

If there are any unfilled items after the 4-day period prior to the Meeting, the Company will consider them as an instruction equivalent to abstention from voting.

The Shareholder who has already sent the BVD may also register and be accredited to participate in the Meeting through the Digital Platform, provided that it does so in the manner and within the period established in item 1.4 of this Manual. In this case, such Shareholder will be allowed to:

 

Page 8 


§ participate in the Meeting, in which case the voting instructions received through BVD will be computed by the Meeting's board; or
§ participate and vote at the Meeting, in which case the corresponding voting instructions, received through BVD, will be discarded by the Meeting's board.

Important: Holders of ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) usually vote through instructions sent to the ADR depositary bank, following the deadlines and procedures defined by their intermediaries, such as brokers or custodians. The votes will be consolidated and presented at the Meeting by the local representative of the ADR depositary bank.

Unlike the distance voting process in Brazil, the voting materials for ADR holders (such as the voting instruction form) cannot be updated after issuance. Thus, if new candidates for the Board of Directors or Fiscal Council are included after the finalization of these materials, ADR holders may not be able to vote for these candidates. Eletrobras will seek to minimize any differences between the voting materials in Brazil and abroad, but emphasizes that it is not possible to eliminate them entirely, due to the rules and deadlines applicable to ADRs in the United States.

 1.3. Required documents

These are the documents required to qualify and attend or vote in the Meeting via the Digital Platform:

i.          If a natural person:

§       copy of the identification document legally recognized as such, with a recent photo and national validity, in addition to being within the validity period (if applicable); or

§       in the case of being represented by an attorney-in-fact, a copy of the power of attorney signed less than 1 year old, together with the official identity document with photo of the attorney-in-fact, and such attorney-in-fact must be another Shareholder, a director of the Company or a lawyer duly registered with the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB).

ii.          If a legal entity:

§       updated articles of incorporation of the Shareholder and of the corporate document that elects the representative(s) with sufficient powers to represent it at the Meeting, duly registered with the competent authorities, together with an official identity document with photo of the said representative(s); and

§       if applicable, power of attorney duly granted in accordance with the law and/or the shareholder's articles of association, together with the official identity document with photo of the attorney-in-fact.

§       identification document of the legal representative(s) with a recent photo and national validity;

§       if applicable, a copy of the power of attorney granted under the terms of its articles of association and in accordance with the rules of Law No. 10,406, of January 10, 2002, as amended, along with the attorney's official identity document with photo.

It is not necessary to send the hard copies of the shareholder representation documents to the Company's office, nor to notarize, authenticate, consularize, apostille, or provide sworn translations of documents from foreign shareholders. Only a simple copy of the original documents required should be submitted via the website https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025.

Powers of attorney granted by Shareholders by electronic means will be admitted only if they contain digital certification within the standards of the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure (ICP-Brasil) system or by other means of proving the authorship e and integrity of the document in electronic form.

1.4. Registration and accreditation

Shareholders who intend to participate in the Meeting, via the Digital Platform, must fill in all registration data on the website https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025 and attach all documents proving qualification by 11:59 p.m. on April 27, 2025.

§       has not yet registered on the platform must access the link and click on “Register now” and then enter your email address. Afterwards, the system will forward the verification code to the e-mail informed for the shareholder to complete their registration.

The attorney-in-fact must register with their details on the website https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025 and, through this platform, inform each shareholder they will represent and attach the respective documents proving their status of the shareholder and representation.

 

Page 10 


After this personal registration, the attorney-in-fact is automatically directed to the registration of his or her grantor, but if he or she leave this page and wants to add more grantors, the attorney-in-fact will need to access the website https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025 and log in with the password created at the time of registration to continue registering them. The attorney-in-fact will receive individual confirmation of the qualification status of each shareholder registered in his or her register and will arrange, if necessary, for documents to be completed.

If the attorney-in-fact represents more than one shareholder, the attorney-in-fact:

§       will only be able to vote at the Meeting on behalf of shareholders whose eligibility has been confirmed by the Company; and

§       should beware of paragraph 2 of Article 8 of the Bylaws, which establishes that shareholders represented by the same attorney-in-fact, officer or representative under any title will be considered as belonging to the same shareholder group for the purposes of the voting limitation set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of the Bylaws, with the exception of holders of securities issued under the Company’s Depositary Receipts program, when represented by the respective depositary bank, provided they do not fall into any of the other situations outlined in the main section or §1 of Article 8 of the Bylaws.

The Company will verify the documents and, if there are no pending issues, the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, will be admitted (“Admitted Shareholder”) and will receive, via the Digital Platform, confirmation of his or her admission to attend the Meeting.

In case of insufficient documentation, the shareholder must complete it on the same website https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025, until 11:59 p.m. on April 27, 2025. There will be no additional deadline to correct insufficient documentation.

If an Admitted Shareholder does not receive confirmation for virtual access to the OEGM up to eight (8) hours before the start time of the Meeting, he/she must contact the Company's Investor Relations area through e-mail assembleiavirtual@eletrobras.com up to four (4) hours before the start time of the Meeting.

Access to the Meeting via Digital Platform will be restricted to Admitted Shareholders (shareholders or their attorneys-in-fact, as the case may be). The Company warns that shareholders who do not submit the request and the necessary participation documents within the deadline will not be able to participate in the Meeting.

The Admitted Shareholders (shareholders or their attorneys-in-fact, as the case may be) undertake to use the individual registration exclusively to follow the Meeting remotely, without transferring it or disclosing it to third parties, as well as not to record, reproduce or share any content or information transmitted during the Meeting.

 

Page 11 


1.5. Declaration of Membership in a Group of Shareholders

Due to the limitation on the exercise of voting rights pursuant to Articles 6 and 7 of the Company's Bylaws, the Company requests, for the purposes of the timely examination of the matter, that the Shareholders included in the legal situations contemplated in Article 8 of the Bylaws inform, up to two (2) days prior to the date designated for the Meeting, that is, up to 11:59 p.m. on April 27, 2025, which are the members of a potential group of shareholders.

In the case of investment funds with the same administrator or manager, only those whose investment and voting policies at shareholders' meetings, under the terms of the respective regulations, is the responsibility of the administrator or manager, will be considered members of a shareholder group.

The information must be provided by sending the Declaration of Membership in a Group of Shareholders, exclusively to the following website address https://qicentral.com.br/m/agoe-eletrobras-2025, mentioning whether:

§       are part of a voting agreement and whether there are other members of the agreement and their respective corporate interests;

§       are part of an economic group of companies or group of entities with common administration or management or under the same authority; and

§       are represented by the same agent, administrator or representative in any capacity whatsoever.

The form of the Declaration of Membership in a Group of Shareholders template is available on the website https://ri.eletrobras.com/informacoes/convocacoes-e-atas/.

The chairman and secretary of the Meeting may, if deemed necessary, if they deem necessary, request documents and information from shareholders in order to verify whether a shareholder is a member of a Shareholder group that may hold 10% or more of the Company's voting capital.

1.6. Conciliation Agreement

Eletrobras executed the Conciliation Agreement with the Federal Government (“Federal Government”) on March 26, 2025 with the aim of terminating, with a decision on the merits, the Direct Action for the Declaration of Unconstitutionality No. 7,385 (“ADI”), pending before the Supreme Federal Court (“STF”). For reference to the information disclosed by the Company on this matter, see the material facts published on February 28, 2025 and March 26, 2025.

The Conciliation Agreement and the resulting amendment to the bylaws shall be submitted for approval by the common shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting, convened for April 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. (“Conciliation EGM”), prior to the OEGM hereby convened.

 

Page 12 


Accordingly, in the event of the following scenario:

·       Approval of the agenda of the Conciliation EGM (“Conciliation Scenario”), the Federal Government shall have the right to elect, separately, three (3) members to the Board of Directors and one (1) member, along with a respective alternate, to the Fiscal Council (see items 1.7 and 1.8 below). In this scenario, the number of seats available for election by common shareholders shall be reduced from nine (9) to six (6), such that:

a.         the two (2) candidates nominated by the Federal Government and included in the list proposed by the management, as identified in item 2.5.4 below, shall be withdrawn from the general election for common shareholders, and the votes attributed to them shall not be considered, as they will be elected by the Federal Government through the separate election mechanism set forth in the Term of Conciliation;

b.        One (1) additional candidate included in the list proposed by the management, as expressly identified in item 2.5.4 below, shall also be withdrawn from the general election for common shareholders and the corresponding votes shall not be considered, so that the list of candidates is consistent with the new number of available seats;

c.          the candidate for regular member of the Fiscal Council and his/her respective alternate, nominated by the Federal Government and indicated in item 2.5.5 below, shall be withdrawn from the general election for common shareholders, and the votes attributed to them shall not be considered, as they will be elected by the Federal Government through the separate election mechanism set forth in the Term of Conciliation. Accordingly, the management recommends that the Fiscal Council be installed with five (5) regular members and their respective alternates.

·       Rejection of the agenda of the Conciliation EGM (“Non-Conciliation Scenario”), all nine (9) seats on the Board of Directors and four (4) seats on the Fiscal Council (if installed with five (5) members) shall be subject to general election by the common shareholders, with no reduction in the number of seats. In this scenario, all candidates included in the list recommended by the management shall run in the general election under the candidate-based voting system. Likewise, the Federal Government’s nomination for a member of the Fiscal Council shall run under the candidate-based voting system of the common shareholders.

Important: In either of the above scenarios, the Federal Government, under the scope of the Term of Conciliation, has undertaken the commitment to (i) not request the adoption of cumulative voting; and (ii) if a valid request for cumulative voting is submitted by other shareholders, to support only two (2) of its nominees.

 

Page 13 


The nominations made by the Federal Government are deemed to have been submitted by all shareholders that are part of its group (the “Federal Government Shareholders Group”)[1] and were reviewed by the People and Governance Committee, having been validated from the standpoint of integrity and legal eligibility requirements.

Considering the dual scenarios outlined above, and aiming to provide maximum transparency to shareholders, the Board of Directors has included in its Competency Matrix both the Conciliation Scenario (six (6) recommendations by the management and three (3) nominations by the Federal Government) and the Non-Conciliation Scenario (seven (7) recommendations by the management and two (2) recommendations by the Federal Government), so that shareholders may clearly visualize the balance and diversity of profiles and skills in the final composition of the board (see item 2.5.4 below).

1.7. Installation of the Fiscal Council

The Company is proposing to the Shareholders, through an amendment to the Bylaws, to establish the Fiscal Council of Eletrobras as a permanent body (see item 2.4.2 below).

As of this date, the body is not permanent and its installation is subject to the request of shareholders representing at least two percent (2%) of the common shares or one percent (1%) of class “A” or “B” preferred shares issued by the Company, and it may be composed of three (3) to five (5) regular members and an equal number of alternates.

The Company informs that the installation quorum has been met, following a request submitted by the Federal Government, and proposes that the Fiscal Council be composed of five (5) regular members and their respective alternates, to be elected under the candidate-based voting system, subject to the scenarios described in item 1.6 above.

Requests for the installation of the Fiscal Council may be submitted by any shareholder, through the Voting Ballot or via the email assembleiavirtual@eletrobras.com. Prior to resolving on the election of the members of the Fiscal Council, the Meeting shall determine the number of seats to be filled by the candidates.

For the rules to be observed in nominating candidates to the Fiscal Council, see item 1.9 below.

1.8. Election of the Board of Directors

As of the date of the convening of this Shareholders’ Meeting, the Board of Directors of Eletrobras is composed of ten (10) seats, and the election shall be held under the candidate-based voting system (list), subject to the scenarios described in item 1.6 above.

Additionally, common shareholders holding at least five percent (5%) of the voting shares may request the adoption of cumulative voting for the election process. The request must be submitted up to 48 hours before the Meeting (i.e., by 2:30 p.m. on April 27, 2025) and may be withdrawn until the time of the election.


[1] In accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Article 8 of the Company's Bylaws, and the decision of the CVM Panel in Process CVM RJ/19957.000800/2024-35.

 

 

Page 14 


§  General Election (with or without the adoption of cumulative voting): Nine (9) seats hall be subject to election by common shareholders, which will be carried out under the candidate-based voting system, subject to a valid request for the adoption of cumulative voting, as explained above.

§  Separate Election by Preferred Shareholders: One (1) seat shall be subject to separate election by preferred shareholders, according to the Bylaws.

The Board of Directors is submitting to the shareholders nine (9) candidates for the general election by the common shareholders, of which two (2) candidates were nominated by the Federal Government (Messrs. Mauricio Tolmasquim e Silas Rondeau, as per item 2.5.4 below), and seven (7) candidates were nominated by the Board of Directors itself, along with one (1) candidate indicated by the Board of Directors for the separate election by the preferred shareholders, in accordance with the Company’s Nomination Policy, its Competency Matrix (see item 2.5.4 below), and the transitional rules set forth in the Term of Conciliation.

Important: Should the matters on the agenda of the Conciliation EGM be approved, the number of seats on the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Council shall be automatically reduced, as described in item 1.6 above. Shareholders are advised to carefully read this Management Proposal to properly complete the Voting Ballot and participate in the election process for said bodies.

Management Recommendations | Election process through BVD

The BVD was structured to allow the process of electing the members of the Board of Directors to take into account and reflect the potential effects and developments of the deliberation on the Settlement Agreement that will take place at the Conciliation EGM — scheduled for the same date as the OEGM now called, but to be held earlier.

To ensure the best use of shareholder votes, even in the face of alternative scenarios, management clarifies below how the calculation process will be conducted in each situation:

§  General election (without multiple voting): The general election by shareholders holding common shares will take place by voting for candidates (list), and the shareholder may vote for up to nine (9) candidates. In  the Scenario with Conciliation, the number of vacancies will be reduced to 6 (six). However, considering the possibility of the shareholder voting for up to nine (9) candidates in the Scenario without Conciliation, the structure of the BVD will include a specific question for each candidate ("Specific Questions") – with the exception of the three (3) candidates nominated by management and who already have a provision for automatic withdrawal of candidacy in the Scenario with Conciliation – so that the common shareholder can signal, among the candidates for whom he has voted for the list system in the Scenario without Conciliation, the 6 (six) candidates who should be considered in the list system in the Scenario with Conciliation.

 

 

Page 15 


If the shareholder(s) mark more than six (6) candidates in the Specific Questions and the general election at the OEGM takes place observing the Scenario with Conciliation without the adoption of multiple voting, their votes will be disregarded. For the impact of the Specific Questions on the general election scenario with the adoption of multiple voting, see the section "General election (with multiple voting)" below.

ü  Recommendation: Common shareholders who choose to use the BVD and still ensure both the right to elect nine (9) members of the Board of Directors in the Scenario without Conciliation and the right to elect six (6) members in the Scenario with Conciliation, are recommended to properly fill in the specific questions of each of their candidates, in order to signal the six (6) candidates who should participate in the electoral process in the last mentioned scenario.

General election (with multiple voting): The BVD, in order to anticipate the dynamics of the multiple voting process, presents a mandatory question in the following terms ("BVD Question"):

“In case of adopting the election process by multiple vote, should the votes corresponding to your shares be distributed in equal percentages among the candidates you have chosen? [The shareholder must be aware that the equal distribution will consider the division of the percentage of 100% among the candidates chosen up to the first two decimal places, without rounding, and that the fractions of shares calculated from the application of the resulting percentage will not be allocated to any candidate, being disregarded in the multiple voting procedure, in which case the shareholder may not vote with all of his shares.]”

In the Scenario with the adoption of multiple voting for the general election at the OEGM, the Company will adopt the following interpretation in relation to the "yes" or "no" options that the shareholder indicates for the mandatory question above, in order to make the best use of the votes via BVD:

Scenario without Conciliation: The votes submitted in response to this question will be fully considered for the candidates listed in the candidate list included in the Voting Ballot (“Candidate List”), in strict accordance with the instructions originally received.

Scenario with Conciliation: Considering that candidates will be removed from the list of candidates and will no longer run for election (see items 1.6 and 2.5.4 and section "Recommendations of the Administration | Election process through the BVD"), the Company will take advantage of the votes as follows:

§  In the event that the shareholder(s) vote for more than six (6) candidates on the Candidate List and the Scenario with Conciliation materializes, their votes will be: (i) redistributed equally to the remaining candidates identified in the Specific Questions, if "yes" was the option to answer the BVD Question, respecting the maximum number of votes available; or (ii) maintained in the specific proportion to the candidates originally selected, if "no" was the option to answer the question or, even if it was "yes", if there was the condition "pass" marked for specific candidates in any way different from those marked in the List of Candidates available in the BVD.

ü  Recommendation to Shareholders: To common shareholders who wish to support the list of candidates presented by management in item 2.5.4 of this Management Proposal, the Company recommends: (a) that they ratify in the specific questions the remaining six (6) candidates proposed by management for the Conciliation Scenario; and (b) the choice of the "yes" answer to the question of the BVD Question, which will allow shareholders to take advantage of all their votes in the remaining six (6) candidates proposed by management in the Conciliation Scenario, if the multiple voting system is triggered.

1.9. Nomination of candidates

Shareholders may submit alternative nominations to the Board of Directors and the Fiscal Council to run in the general election and/or in the separate election, as applicable, subject to the rules and guidelines set forth below and to the possibility of a reduction in the number of seats allocated to common shareholders, as provided in item 1.6 above.

Shareholders holding at least 0.5% (zero point five percent) of the shares of a given class issued by the Company may request the inclusion of such nominations in the Voting Ballot by submitting a request to the e-mail address assembleiavirtual@eletrobras.com no later than twenty-five (25) days prior to the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting (i.e., by 14:29 p.m. on April 4, 2025).

Nominations to be included in the Voting Ballot must:

§  be accompanied by: (i) the candidate’s résumé containing, at a minimum, their qualifications, education, professional experience, current principal activity, and identification of positions held on boards of directors, fiscal councils or advisory boards of other companies, if applicable; (ii) the information required under items 7.3 to 7.6 of the Company’s Reference Form; (iii) an indication as to whether the candidate requires the waiver referred to in Article 147, §3 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, together with a statement explaining the reasons why the Shareholders’ Meeting should grant such waiver; and (iv) an indication as to whether the nomination is intended for the general election or the separate election by preferred shareholders.

In the case of nominations to the Board of Directors, the submission must also include a declaration of absence of legal impediments and compliance with the eligibility requirements, as well as a statement on whether or not the candidate qualifies as an independent member.

§  Comply with the eligibility requirements set forth in Articles 147, §§1 to 3 of the Brazilian Corporation Law and Article 22 of the Company's Bylaws. In the case of nominations for the Fiscal Council, the criteria established in Article 162, caput and §2, of the Brazilian Corporation Law, as well as in §§1 to 4 of Article 22 of the Bylaws, must also be met. Additionally, the name of the respective alternate must be provided along with the name of the effective candidate.

These requirements also apply to nominations made after the deadline for inclusion in the Voting Ballot, and all nominations will be subject to integrity and legal compliance review by the People and Governance Committee.

The Company warns of the existence of overboarding rules, which limit the number of positions that candidates for the Board of Directors of Eletrobras may concurrently hold.

In this regard, candidates who meet any of the following criteria shall not be eligible to join the Board of Directors of Eletrobras:

(i)      those who already hold four (4) or more positions on the boards of directors of publicly held companies not controlled by Eletrobras;

(ii)      those who already hold two (2) or more positions on the boards of directors of publicly held companies not controlled by Eletrobras, if one of these positions is as chair of the board;

The Company may, after receiving the request for inclusion of candidates in the Voting Ballot and conducting an initial review of the submitted documentation, request additional information within the deadlines established in RCVM 81/2022.

Important: Shareholders may nominate candidates for the Board of Directors or the Fiscal Council until the start of voting at the Meeting. To ensure that all shareholders have prior access to information about the candidates and that the Meeting proceeds in an orderly manner, the Company recommends that such nominations be made as early as possible. Nominations submitted during the Meeting will also be reviewed for integrity and compliance with legal requirements, which may prolong the session or even require a recess.

2.4.       CLARIFICATIONS ON THE AGENDA OF THE EGM:

2.4.1. Merger of Eletropar into Eletrobras

Eletropar is a subsidiary of Eletrobras, which holds 83,71% of its capital stock. Upon completion of the Merger, Eletropar will be dissolved and fully absorbed by Eletrobras, which will succeed it in all its rights and obligations (“Merger”).

Purpose

The Merger will enable Eletrobras to execute its strategic plan and unlock value drivers associated with the streamlining of its corporate and governance structures, the implementation of an efficient integrated management, the development of its core businesses, and, consequently, the divestment of non-core assets and businesses.

From the perspective of minority shareholders of Eletropar, migrating to the shareholder base of Eletrobras is beneficial, as the Acquiring Company is currently structured as a publicly held company with dispersed capital, following a true corporation model.

In this regard, by becoming shareholders of Eletrobras as a result of the Merger, these investors will benefit from greater liquidity and increased political rights, as they will no longer be minority shareholders of a controlled company whose shares have a low trading volume on B3.

Increase of Capital Stock

With the Merger, the capital stock of Eletrobras will be increased due to the absorption of the book value of shareholders' equity of Eletropar. As determined in the Eletropar Accounting Valuation Report, this increase will amount to BRL 35,375,784.48 (thirty-five million, three hundred seventy-five thousand, seven hundred eighty-four reais and forty-eight cents).

Consequently, 1,532,788 (one million, five hundred thirty-two thousand, seven hundred eighty-eight) new common shares will be issued by Eletrobras, all book-entry and without par value, with the same rights and obligations currently assigned to Eletrobras’ common shares.

The amendment to the Bylaws to reflect the update of the capital stock, as described above, will not require prior approval from the specific competent authority.

Exchange Ratio (Share Substitution)

Pursuant to applicable law and CVM guidelines, the Independent Committee of Eletropar, was formed, consisting of three members: (i) Mr. Renan dos Santos Antunes, Eletropar board member appointed by a majority of the Board of Directors in a meeting held on August 11, 2023; (ii) Mr. Carlos Alberto Policaro, a board member elected by minority shareholders at the General Meeting of Eletropar held on September 11, 2023, during which Eletrobras, in its capacity as the controlling shareholder, abstained from voting; and (iii) Ms. Lucia Maria Martins Casasanta, jointly selected by the two previous board members.

 

Page 22 


The Independent Committee had sufficient time and access to information to independently evaluate and discuss the exchange ratio resulting from the Merger. In its analysis and discussions, the Independent Committee considered and assessed, among other aspects:

a)       the strategic, commercial, and financial justifications presented by Eletropar;

b)       the assumption that the Merger must be structured under commutative conditions for its shareholders;

c)       the nature of the Merger transaction, which is highly common and widely tested in the market; and

d)       the legal structure of the Merger.

The Independent Committee concluded that the exchange ratio, ensuring the commutativity of the Merger, is one (1) common share issued by Eletropar for zero point eight (0.8) common share issued by Eletrobras, and this recommendation was approved by the Board of Directors of Eletropar on March 27, 2025.

According to the Protocol and Justification, the Executive Board of Eletrobras and Eletropar decided to accept the exchange ratio recommendation proposed by the Independent Committee.

Withdrawal Rights

Shareholders of Eletropar who vote against, abstain, or do not attend the meeting resolving on the Merger shall be entitled to withdrawal rights (“Dissenting Shareholders Eletropar”), meaning they may exit the company by receiving reimbursement for the value of their shares (“Withdrawal Rights”).

Reimbursement Amount: BRL18.4635 per common share issued by Eletropar, based on the book value determined in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023. This amount will not be adjusted for inflation (“Reimbursement Amount”).

 

Page 23 


The Exchange Ratio calculated based on the valuation reports prepared in accordance with Article 264 of the Brazilian Corporation Law is less favorable to the shareholders of Eletropar than the proposal set forth in the Protocol and Justification, as recommended by the Independent Committee. Therefore, the criterion under Article 264 of the Brazilian Corporation Law does not apply in this case for the purposes of calculating the Reimbursement Amount.

Term: Dissenting Shareholders may exercise their Withdrawal Rights within a 30-day period, starting from the publication date of the minutes of the EGM that approves the Merger.

Right of Reconsideration: Once the period for exercising the Withdrawal Rights has ended, Eletropar will have up to 10 days to assess whether the payment of the Reimbursement Amount would compromise its financial stability. If so, the management of Eletropar may call a new general meeting to ratify or reconsider the Merger decision (“Right of Reconsideration”).

Payment Date: The payment date will be informed in due course through a shareholder notice, on the date when the management of Eletropar decides not to exercise the Right of Reconsideration, or after the ratification of the Merger by the shareholders of Eletrobras, if a general meeting is convened to deliberate on the Right of Reconsideration, as applicable.

Shareholders of Eletrobras will not be entitled to Withdrawal Rights, in accordance with applicable law.

Procedure

The approval of the Merger is subject to:

(a)       At Eletrobras:

•       Approval by the Executive Board, pursuant to Article 39, items I and VIII of the Bylaws, granted on March 27, 2025;

Page 25 


2.4.2. Bylaws Amendment Details:

First Block: Amendment to the Tie-Breaking Criteria for Matters Resolved by the Board of Directors:

To safeguard the premises of Eletrobras’ privatization and the corporation model, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to adjust the tie-breaking criterion for matters under its purview, granting the Chair of the Board the second and final tie-breaking vote.

Thus, the first tie-breaking criterion will now reflect the will of the group of board members that includes the highest number of independent directors, in line with corporate governance best practices.

Second Block: New Independence Criteria for Board Members and Reduction of the Minimum Number of Independent Directors:

In line with corporate governance best practices and considering the statutory and legal limits on political rights, the Company proposes the introduction of two new statutory criteria for the loss of independence of a Board Member, as follows:

· holding more than ten percent (10%) of the voting shares of Eletrobras; or
· having a material relationship, management role, employment relationship, or equivalent link with a shareholder or group of shareholders holding more than ten percent (10%) of the voting shares of Eletrobras.

Additionally, the management proposes reducing the minimum number of independent members from six (6) (equivalent to 60%) to five (5) (equivalent to 50%), as this new threshold, while remaining compliant with corporate governance guidelines and best practices, is more reasonably suited to the Company's needs in light of the stricter independence criteria mentioned above, and is also more aligned with the new electoral structure expected if the EGM of the Conciliation agenda is approved.

Considering the potential approval of the EGM of the Conciliation, the three (3) Board members elected separately by the Federal Government will automatically be classified as non-independent members. Furthermore, since the election process for the Board of Directors includes separate elections by preferred shareholders, if either the common or preferred shareholder groups elect a non-independent member, the other group would automatically be prevented from doing so, which is deemed unreasonable.

 

Page 26 


Third Block: Transformation of the Fiscal Council into a Permanent Body Composed of Five (5) Members:

The Company also proposes that the Fiscal Council be formally established as a permanent body, necessarily composed of five (5) members.

This measure is justified by the following factors:

(i) since privatization, shareholders have broadly supported the installation of the Fiscal Council, making it reasonable to simplify the voting process and ensure predictability regarding the number of members;
(ii) Setting the number of members at five (5) is justified, as in addition to the separate elections by common and preferred shareholders, the Conciliation Agreement also provides for the separate election of one (1) Fiscal Council member by the Federal Government. Thus, a five-member structure would provide a more proportional representation for common shareholders.

2.5.       CLARIFICATIONS ON THE AGENDA OF THE OGM:

2.5.1.       Review the accounts of the Managers, examine, discuss, and vote on the Management Report and the Company's Complete Annual Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024

The key events and highlights of the 2024 fiscal year are detailed in the Management Report, which is part of the Financial Statements, and in the Managers' Comments on the Company's Financial Condition, referring to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, available in Schedule 9 of this Management Proposal.

The Financial Statements and the accompanying documents are available on the Company’s website (https://ri.eletrobras.com/), the CVM website (https://sistemas.cvm.gov.br/) and the B3 website (https://www.b3.com.br/pt_br/), and were published in the Valor Econômico (National Edition) newspaper on April 16, 2025.

2.5.2.       Resolve on the management proposal for the allocation of results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the distribution of dividends

Eletrobras reported consolidated net income of BRL10,378 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which represents a 136.2% increase compared to the BRL4,395 million recorded in 2023.

The Management Report and Schedule 9 to this Proposal detail the variation in the main accounts that comprise the 2024 results, highlighting the key events that occurred during the year and help clarify the result in question.

On December 19, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the payment of interim dividends in the amount of BRL2,201,690,036.65, based on the net income recorded as of September 30, 2024, as an anticipation of the allocation of the 2024 fiscal year results. Thus, the proposed dividend distribution is based on the difference between the amount already advanced and the remaining balance.

In this context, considering the favorable opinions of the Fiscal Council and the Audit and Risk Committee, as well as the Independent Auditor’s Report, the Company’s Management proposes that the net income of the parent company in the amount of BRL10,378 million be recorded, as set forth in the Financial Statements.

Allocation of Results and Distribution of Dividends

The Company’s Management proposes the following allocation of the results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (without prejudice to the Capital Budget and Retention proposal, detailed below):

§ As provided for in the main section of Article 193 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, 5% of the net income for the year, amounting to BRL519 million, shall be allocated to the Legal Reserve;
§ As provided for in Article 49, Paragraph 1, of the Bylaws, the portion corresponding to 25% of the adjusted net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, amounting to BRL2,465 million, shall be distributed to the Company’s shareholders as mandatory dividends. Management also proposes the distribution of an additional 5% of the adjusted net income, as additional dividends, corresponding to BRL1,535 million. Thus, the total proposed dividend distribution corresponds to 30% of the adjusted net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, totaling BRL4,000 million, including the portion to be allocated to the holders of class “A”, class “B” preferred shares and the special class share (golden share). If approved, dividends will be paid on May 13, 2025;

 

Page 32 


§ As provided for in Article 50, II, of the Company’s current Bylaws, up to 75% of the net income for the fiscal year may be allocated to the Statutory Investment Reserve. Therefore, Management proposes that the amount of BRL5,850 million, corresponding to 56% of the net income for the year, be allocated to the Statutory Investment Reserve.

Pursuant to Article 10, II, and Annex A of RCVM 81, detailed information regarding Management’s proposal for the allocation of net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 is included in Schedule 10 to this Management Proposal.

2.5.4. Elect the members of the Board of Directors for a unified term of two (2) years and deliberate on the characterization of their independent status:

Nomination Source: Board of Directors and Preferred Shareholders

Context of the Succession Process:

Since the privatization of Eletrobras in June 2022, the Board of Directors has progressively evolved its corporate governance to align with private sector practices and the specific characteristics of its new, diversified capital structure.

 

Page 36 


Corporate governance is regarded by management as a core asset for the preservation and sustainable generation of long-term value.

In light of this fundamental value, the Board diligently oversaw the conciliation process with the Federal Government at the CCAF, seeking a consensual resolution to the dispute raised by the ADI before the STF that would safeguard the key premises of Eletrobras’ privatization while also creating value for the Company and all its shareholders.

Within this context, the proposed list of candidates aims to address the Company’s needs, uphold best governance practices, and present a balanced solution for all shareholders, enabling a transparent and secure succession process.

General Premises of the Succession Planning

The succession planning for the Board of Directors of Eletrobras was based on the following general premises:

· Performance evaluation of the Board of Directors (individual and collective) and its Committees (2023–2025), with support from the independent external consultancy Spencer Stuart, to assess the adequacy and diversity of the desired profiles.
· Development of the Competency Matrix to verify the alignment of Board members with the required competencies, in line with the strategic planning.
· Adjustment of the composition of the People and Governance Committee to ensure it is composed exclusively of independent members of the Board of Directors.
· Engagement of the independent external consultancy Korn Ferry to support the identification and assessment of candidates for the 2025 election process.
· Balance in the renewal of the Board, preserving key competencies, enhancing the diversity of profiles, and ensuring legal certainty for an orderly succession process.

Evolution of the Company’s Strategic Planning

Since 2022, Eletrobras has undergone three strategic planning cycles, focusing on stabilization as a private company and on achieving excellence and innovation in management. The Board of Directors, together with the management team, engaged in the conciliation process within the CCAF, which resulted in an agreement that preserves the premises of the privatization and unlocks value for all parties involved. Additionally, the Board discussed and shaped the Company’s future vision and strategic planning, aligned with its core values and purpose. The list of candidates proposed by the management reflects the appropriate composition to lead Eletrobras in this new phase of its business development.

 

Page 37 


Performance Evaluation of the Board of Directors:

Since its election in August 2022, the Board of Directors of Eletrobras has conducted two performance evaluation cycles (2023-2024 and 2024-2025). In each cycle, the process, in general terms, considered:

(i) self-assessment questionnaire completed by board members;
(ii) peer evaluation questionnaire assessing each board member;
(iii) specific evaluation questionnaire for the chairman position;
(iv) individual interviews with board members and executives to gather qualitative inputs on the performance of the board as a whole and the behavioral and technical aspects of its members.

Additionally, the performance of the advisory committees and the Governance Secretariat was evaluated.

In 2024, already in possession of the results from the first performance evaluation cycle and having gone through two strategic planning cycles, the Board, with the support of Spencer Stuart, structured the first version of the Competency Matrix and identified opportunities for improvement in its composition, based on the competency assessment of the members at that time.

In this context, the Board of Directors made its first nomination to the Board during the 2024 Ordinary General Meeting, aiming to replace the professional occupying the employee representative seat, which was eliminated through a bylaw’s amendment in 2023.

In 2025, the Board completed its second performance evaluation cycle, the inputs from which, along with the challenges and objectives of the new strategic plan, were considered in forming the nominations submitted to shareholders.

Implications of the ADI and the Conciliation Agreement on the Succession Planning of the Board of Directors:

The term of the outgoing Board of Directors was marked by the filing of the ADI before the STF, which aimed to challenge the rules that structured the privatization process, particularly the voting rights limitation of up to 10% of the voting capital stock, imposed by law and bylaws amendments, which represents one of the pillars of the corporation model established by the privatization.

 

Page 38 


Since December 27, 2023, the Company has been engaged in a conciliation process before the CCAF, as previously disclosed.

On February 28, 2025, the Company published a Material Fact, sharing with the market the general premises agreed upon with the Federal Government within the scope of the conciliation process, for the purposes of drafting the respective Conciliation Agreement.

On March 26, 2025, after approval by the Executive Board and the Board of Directors, Eletrobras executed the Conciliation Agreement with the Federal Government, which sets forth a series of conditions necessary for its full effectiveness, including its approval at the Conciliation EGM, which will also involve a specific bylaws amendment to ensure compliance with the agreed terms and conditions, as well as its ratification by STF.

The Company has called the Conciliation EGM to take place on the same day as the OEGM, but in advance. It is important to note that the Federal Government and the other entities that make up the Federal Government Shareholders Group are in a conflict of interest regarding the voting on the agenda of the Conciliation EGM and must record an abstention although present.

The Conciliation Agreement also establishes a transitional rule, with immediate effect, consisting of the inclusion of two (2) out of the three (3) nominations made by the Federal Government in the list of nine (9) candidates to be proposed by the management for election by the common shareholders.

If the Conciliation Agreement is approved at the Conciliation EGM, the two (2) Federal Government nominees included in the management’s list of candidates, in addition to the nominee Vanessa Lopes (appointed by the management), will be automatically excluded from the list of candidates submitted for vote by the common shareholders, with the corresponding votes being disregarded.

In this case, the Federal Government will elect, separately, at the OEGM, the three (3) candidates to the Board of Directors:

The Company received on March 27, 2025, the list of nominations from the Federal Government, as described below:

Ø Federal Government Candidate 1: Mauricio Tolmasquim

Independent Member: NO (as provided for in the Conciliation Agreement)

 

Page 39 


Reappointment: NO

Nomination Source: Federal Government – included in the list of candidates recommended by the management.

Ø Federal Government Candidate 2: Silas Rondeau

Independent Member: NO (as provided for in the Conciliation Agreement)

Reappointment: NO

Nomination Source: Federal Government Federal Government – included in the list of candidates recommended by the management.

Ø Federal Government Candidate 3: Nelson Hubner

Independent Member: NO (as provided for in the Conciliation Agreement)

Reappointment: NO

Nomination Source: Federal Government.

Additionally, if the ratification of the Conciliation Agreement by the STF does not occur in a timely manner, the term of office of Federal Government Candidate 3 shall be immediately terminated.

It is worth noting that, under the terms of the Conciliation Agreement, the Federal Government undertook, directly and through the shareholders comprising its group, not to request cumulative voting in the 2025 OEGM election process. Furthermore, it committed to support and allocate its votes exclusively to its two nominees included in the list of candidates presented by the management, should such election system be triggered at the request of another shareholder.

It is also important to highlight that the nominations made by the Federal Government were subject to the same screening regarding legal requirements and eligibility criteria.

As a matter of transparency, the Company has also included such nominations in the Board of Directors’ Competency Matrix, so that shareholders can have an integrated view of the profiles and experiences of the composition recommended by the Management, already within the context of the approval of the Conciliation Agreement.

 

Page 40 


Competency Matrix of the Board of Directors:

The Competency Matrix of the Board of Directors is an important tool to assist shareholders in forming the optimal composition of the board, ensuring that it is equipped with the appropriate skills and experiences to enable the Company’s long-term strategy, while also considering the material topics validated by the board, which guide its business and management.

In this regard, the Competency Matrix reflects, in the view of the Board of Directors, the set of skills appropriate for this body to perform its role of supervision and strategic direction with efficiency and effectiveness.

Below, we present the classification of the candidates proposed by the Management in the Competency Matrix:

 

 

Page 41 


 

Important:

· The Competency Matrix reflects the composition proposed by the management in the event of approval of the Conciliation Agreement at the Conciliation EGM to be held prior to the OEGM hereby convened.
· In the event the Conciliation Agreement is not approved at the OEGM, the composition to be recommended by the management will include, in place of Candidate Nelson Hubner (the third nomination by the Federal Government), the candidacy of Ms. Vanessa Claro Lopes, as highlighted in the section “Implications of the ADI and the Conciliation Agreement on the Board of Directors’ Succession Planning” above. The profile of Candidate Vanessa Claro Lopes is presented in the section below, along with the profiles of the ten candidates listed in the Competency Matrix.

Indicators and Relevant Points:

a) Characterization of independent members for the purpose of compliance with the bylaws requirement and deliberation at the OGM:

The Board of Directors considered the parameters of the B3 Novo Mercado Regulation and Annex K of RCVM 80 for the purpose of analyzing whether candidates qualify as independent board members, in addition to the provisions of the Conciliation Agreement.

Additionally, the board took into account the self-declarations signed by each candidate, international best practices, and the opinions issued by the People and Governance Committee.

In this regard, except for the three candidates nominated by the Federal Government and endorsed by the Board of Directors in the presented list of candidates, whose classification as non-independent members is expressly stated in the Conciliation Agreement and the corresponding bylaws amendment proposal, all other candidates nominated by management are classified as independent board members, according to the position established by the Board of Directors.

b) Board composition renewal:

The set of candidates presented by Management represents a renewal of the composition of the Board of Directors in the order of forty percent (40%).

As part of the rationale for the proposed reappointment of six (6) candidates, the need to retain critical skills and profiles has been identified to meet the demands and challenges of the upcoming management cycle and to ensure continuity in the Company’s strategic direction.

c) Consecutive terms and median tenure:

Considering the forty percent (40%) renewal of the composition of the Board of Directors, the set of nominations proposed by Management represents an average tenure of approximately 3 years and 5 months.

Below are the consecutive tenure durations of the candidates for reappointment:

· Vicente Falconi Campos: 2 years and 7 months
· Ana Silvia Matte : 10 months

 

Page 58 


· Felipe Villela Dias: 5 years and 10 months
· Marisete Fátima Dadald Pereira: 2 years and 7 months
· Daniel Alves Ferreira: 5 years and 10 months
· Pedro Batista de Lima Filho: 2 years and 7 months
d) Overboarding:

All candidates proposed by the management meet the Bylaws’ requirements regarding the accumulation of positions on boards of directors (overboarding limits). Candidate Carlos Márcio Ferreira submitted a written statement in which he undertook not to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors of PetroReconcavo S.A. if reappointed as a Board member of said company.

e) Diversity aspects:

The Company believes that a Board of Directors composed of members with diverse profiles and experiences, always linked to the challenges, demands, and opportunities for improvement derived from its strategic plan and performance evaluation, is essential to enhance the decision-making process, develop strategic oversight capabilities, reduce behavioral biases, and enrich discussions through multiple perspectives.

In this regard, below are the diversity indicators related to age, gender, underrepresentation, and skills among the candidates, contemplated in the Competency Matrix:

· 62 average age;
· 2 members between 41 and 50 years old;
· 1 member between 51 and 60 years old;
· 4 members between 61 and 70 years old;
· 2 members between 71 and 80 years old;
· 1 member between 80 and 90 years old;
· 2 women;

 

Page 59 


· 1 member from an underrepresented community (LGBTQIA+), as provided for in Article 3 of Annex B – ESG Measures, of B3’s Issuers Regulation;
· 100% of the members with previous experience in the electric sector;
· 6 members with executive experience;
· 8 members with board experience;
· 7 members with consulting/advisory experience;
f) Attendance rate of candidates for reappointment:

In 2024, there were 45 Board of Directors' meetings, with an average attendance rate of 98.7%. None of the candidates nominated for reappointment had an attendance rate below 93%.

g) Compliance with legal and integrity requirements:

All candidates included in the list proposed by the Company were assessed by the People and Governance Committee from the standpoint of integrity and compliance with legal and bylaw requirements, and were deemed eligible, subject to the clarifications below.

Candidate Vanessa Claro Lopes informed that her term as Fiscal Council member of COSAN S/A will end at the ordinary general meeting to be held in April 2025. Considering that COSAN S/A is classified by Eletrobras as a competitor, Ms. Vanessa Claro Lopes submitted a written statement committing not to be reappointed to such position if elected to the Board of Directors of Eletrobras.

Candidate Carlos Márcio Ferreira submitted a written statement committing not to serve as Chair of PetroReconcavo S/A if elected to Eletrobras and reappointed to such company, in order to meet the requirements to avoid overboarding.

Candidate Mauricio Tolmasquim currently holds the position of Executive Director of Energy Transition and Sustainability at Petrobras S.A., which is classified by Eletrobras as a competing company. In this regard, the candidate submitted a written statement committing to step down from the aforementioned position if elected to the Board of Directors of Eletrobras. In light of this commitment, the Company declares that the candidate is eligible to sign the declaration of clearance referred to in Annex K of CVM Resolution 81.

Candidates Silas Rondeau and Nelson Hubner currently serve as members of the Board of Directors of ENBPar, with the former also holding the position of Chair. Both candidates submitted written statements committing to resign from these positions if elected to the Board of Directors of Eletrobras. In light of such commitment, the Company declares that both candidates are eligible to sign the declaration of clearance referred to in Annex K of CVM Resolution No. 80/2022.

2.5.6. Set the annual aggregate compensation of the managers, external members of advisory committees, and members of the Fiscal Council (if installed) for the 2025 fiscal year:

Brief Background:

The current compensation model for management (“Compensation Model”) was approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 22, 2022, and is based on a study conducted by the specialized consulting firm Korn Ferry.

The Compensation Model is characterized primarily by a new short-term incentive mechanism (“ICP”) for executive officers, the alignment of fixed compensation for managers with market practices, and the establishment of components for the new long-term incentives (“LTI”), namely: (i) Stock Option Compensation Plan (“Stock Option Plan”); and (ii) Restricted Share-Based Compensation Plan (“Restricted Share Plan”)

O Modelo Remuneratório baseia-se em premissas e diretrizes gerais que estimulam a cultura da alta performance e meritocracia, com alinhamento entre os interesses da administração e dos acionistas.

The Compensation Model is grounded on general premises and guidelines that promote a high-performance and meritocratic culture, aligning the interests of management and shareholders. In this regard, the model stipulates that the largest portion of total compensation for Executive Officers be allocated to short-term (ICP) and long-term incentives (LTI): with 20% to 30% allocated to fixed compensation; 25% to 30% to ICP; and 40% to 50% to LTI.

The positioning of fixed compensation levels for members of the Executive Board was also set at the market’s P50 (50th percentile). With the implementation of short- and long-term incentives based on targets, triggers, and challenges of an economic-financial, social, environmental, and governance nature, the total compensation package would be positioned between the P75 and P90 (75th to 90th percentiles). Therefore, the maximum compensation package for an executive would only be reached if performance was proportionate to and aligned with the achievement of their goals.

It was also established that, under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price for each granted option cannot be set below BRL42.00, annually adjusted by the IPCA inflation index, and subject to the application of a specific spread, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to ensure that grants remain challenging and continue to generate value for shareholders.

 

Page 63 


In 2023 and 2024, shareholders approved, at the Annual General Meetings, the proposals for the global compensation of management for the corresponding periods, aimed at executing the aforementioned compensation model. In 2024, the General Meeting also approved specific amendments to the Stock Option Plan and the Restricted Share Plan.

Current Proposal:

For the fiscal year 2025, Eletrobras proposes the annual global compensation based on the same general assumptions adopted in 2024, except for the main adjustments described below:

· adjustment of the fixed compensation levels of the Executive Board in line with market benchmarks;
· inclusion of one additional member on the Board of Directors compared to 2024;
· end of the vesting period for restricted shares granted to the Board of Directors, meaning that no long-term incentive (LTI) is proposed for 2025; and
· as a result of the previous item, a possible adjustment to the fixed compensation of the Board of Directors, aiming to restore the total compensation of the Directors and thus maintain the attractiveness of the position in light of the Company’s challenges and complexity.

The proposal covers the compensation of the members of the Executive Board, the members of the Board of Directors, the external members of the Audit and Risk Committee, and the members of the Fiscal Council (if installed), in the total amount of up to BRL 83,799,936.69 (a level that is 0.8% higher than the amount approved in 2024, which was BRL 83,174,264.33), and is broken down as follows:

· BRL67,722,708.57 for the members of the Executive Board;
· BRL14,203,140.87 for the members of the Board of Directors;
· BRL1,080,000.00 for the external members of the Audit and Risk Committee; and
· BRL794,087.25 for the members of the Fiscal Council (if installed, based on the assumptions of electing five regular members and applying the minimum compensation as provided in article 162, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporations Law).

Pursuant to Article 13 of RCVM 81, all information and details regarding the Management Proposal for the establishment of the global compensation of the executive officers and members of the advisory committees, as set forth in Section 8 of the Reference Form, are included in Schedule 12 to this Management Proposal. Historical information on the compensation effectively paid, as compared to the approved global compensation amounts, is also provided.

Merger Protocol and Justification

 

PROTOCOL AND JUSTIFICATION OF MERGER

 

This private instrument is signed by the managers of the parties named below:

 

A.              CENTRAIS ELÉTRICAS BRASILEIRAS S.A. – ELETROBRAS, a publicly-held category "A" company, headquartered at Rua da Quitanda, No. 196, store A, Centro, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, ZIP Code 20091-005 and registered with the National Register of Legal Entities of the Ministry of Finance (“CNPJ”) under No. 00.001.180/0001-26, hereby represented in accordance with its bylaws ('Eletrobras'); and

 

B.              ELETROBRAS PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A., a publicly-held category "A" company, headquartered at Rua São Bento, No. 1, room 902, Centro, city of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, ZIP Code 20090-010 and registered with the CNPJ under No. 01.104.937/0001-70, hereby represented in accordance with its bylaws (“Eletropar” and, together with Eletrobras, “Companies”).

 

WHEREAS:

 

(a)             Eletrobras, on this date, holds nine million, eight hundred and forty-eight thousand, nine hundred and four (9,848,904) common shares issued by Eletropar, representing eighty-three point seventy-one percent (83.71%) of Eletropar's capital stock, with the remaining one million, nine hundred and fifteen thousand, nine hundred and eighty-five (1,915,985) common shares issued by Eletropar, representing sixteen point twenty-nine percent (16.29%) of Eletropar's capital stock, held by minority shareholders; and

 

(b)             For the reasons set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Companies, hereby represented by their managers, but subject to the approval of the other governance bodies of each Company, including, without limitation, the approval of their respective shareholders, understand that it is favorable for both Companies to implement the merger of Eletropar by Eletrobras, so that, at the end of the respective transaction, Eletrobras will succeed Eletropar, universally, in all its assets, rights and obligations, resulting in the extinction of Eletropar ("Merger");

 

HEREBY, the Companies resolve to execute, in the best form of law, the present Protocol and Justification of the Merger ("Protocol"), the purpose of which is to establish, pursuant to articles 224 to 227 and 264 of Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976, as amended ("Brazilian Corporate Law"), and CVM Resolution No. 81, of March 29, 2022, the conditions for the Merger of Companies, which will be submitted in due course for resolution by the other governance bodies of the Companies, as applicable, in particular the resolution of their respective shareholders.

 


1.               JUSTIFICATION

 

1.1.           Description of the Merger. The purpose of this Protocol is to substantiate the procedures, justifications, terms, clauses and conditions of the Merger, with the consequent: (a) absorption of Eletropar by Eletrobras and the extinction of Eletropar; as well as (b) issuance, based on the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), of new common shares, nominative, book entry and without par value by Eletrobras to be attributed to the minority shareholders of Eletropar, in proportion to their interest in Eletropar's capital stock, under the terms of articles 224 to 227 and 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

1.2.           Justification for the Merger. The Merger is an instrument of corporate reorganization and concentration widely used by economic groups in search of restructuring and consolidation of operational, administrative and tax activities, as well as synergies, operational gains, cost reduction, simplification of corporate structures, greater speed in the decision-making process and expansion of the group's competitiveness and efficiency in relation to competitors. As a result of the Merger, Eletrobras and its shareholders will enjoy higher levels of corporate governance in relation to the activities previously carried out by Eletropar (since such activities will now be managed directly by Eletrobras) and Eletrobras will have lower costs and expenses related to these activities, due the organizational simplification brought about by the Merger.

 

1.2.1       The balances of Eletropar's credit and debit accounts, which constitute its assets and liabilities, will, after the implementation of the Merger, be transferred to Eletrobras' accounting books, and to the corresponding accounting accounts, after the necessary adjustments have been implemented. In addition, after the Merger, Eletrobras' management will be responsible for keeping Eletropar's accounting and tax files and documents. It will also be up to Eletrobras' management to carry out all the necessary acts to implement the Merger, assuming all the costs arising from such implementation.

 

1.2.2       Eletrobras, as absorber company, assumes all the rights and obligations of Eletropar, as absorbed company, including labor (articles 10 and 448-A of the Brazilian Consolidation of Labor Laws - CLT), social security (Law No. 8,212/91) and tax (article 132 of the National Tax Code - CTN) current and future, which may eventually occur.

 

1.2.3       Once the Merger has taken place, Eletropar shall be extinguished by operation of law.

2.3.           Independent Special Committee. Considering that the Merger is an transaction involving a controlling company, Eletrobras, and a controlled company, Eletropar, to ensure a higher level of corporate governance for the Merger, the board of directors of Eletropar decided, in a meeting held on August 11, 2023, to create the independent special committee, in accordance with CVM Guidance Opinion No. 35, of September 1, 2008 ("Independent Committee"). The Independent Committee's function is to negotiate and set the Exchange Ratio applicable to the Merger and submit its recommendation to the Eletropar’s board of directors. After due evaluation and discussion, independently, the Independent Committee concluded that the Exchange Ratio, which ensures the commutativity of the Merger, is one (1) common share, book-entry and without par value issued by Eletropar for zero point eight (0.8) common share, book-entry and without par value issued by Eletrobras, and this recommendation was approved by the Eletropar’s board of directors on March 27, 2025.

 

2.4.           Exchange Ratio. As a result of the Merger and considering the corporate structures described in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above and the recommendation of the Independent Committee, the management of each Company, as independent parties and after free negotiation, decided to accept and agree to the exchange ratio recommendation resulting from the Merger proposed by the Independent Committee, which is that each Eletropar shareholder will receive zero point eight (0.8) common share, book-entry and without par value issued by Eletrobras for one (1) common share, book-entry and without par value issued by Eletropar held before the Merger ("Exchange Ratio").

 

2.5.           Capital Increase of Eletrobras. Pursuant to article 227, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the Merger will result in an increase in the Eletrobras’ capital stock, in the total amount of thirty-five million, three hundred seventy-five thousand, seven hundred eighty-four reais and forty-eight cents (BRL 35,375,784.48), equivalent to the book net equity of Eletropar, weighted by the participation of Eletropar's minority shareholders, which value was determined in the Eletropar’s appraisal report, prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda., a limited liability company, headquartered at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, No. 3,732, 16th floor, parts 1 to 6, Itaim Bibi, city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, ZIP Code 04538-132, registered with the CNPJ under No. 61.562.112/0001-20 ("PWC"), with a reference date of December 31, 2023, which is part of Eletrobras' management proposal regarding the Merger, as Schedule 2 ("Appraisal Report”), with the consequent issuance of one million, five hundred thirty-two thousand, seven hundred eighty-eight (1,532,788) new common shares by Eletrobras, all book-entry and without par value, with the same rights and obligations currently attributed to the common shares already issued by Eletrobras, including participation in the results of the current fiscal year (“New Eletrobras’ Shares").

 


2.5.1.      Preemptive Right. The current shareholders of Eletrobras will not have preemptive rights to subscribe for the New Eletrobras’ Shares.

 

2.5.2.      Subscription of New Eletrobras’ Shares. Pursuant to article 227, paragraph 2, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the officers of Eletropar must be authorized by Eletropar's shareholders to perform the necessary acts for the Merger, including the subscription of the New Eletrobras’ Shares on behalf of Eletropar's shareholders (except Eletrobras).

 

2.5.3.      Payment of New Eletrobras’ Shares. The New Eletrobras Shares will be paid in by transferring Eletropar's net equity to Eletrobras, based on the Appraisal Report.

 

2.5.4.      Fractional Shares. Any fractions of shares issued by Eletrobras resulting from the Merger will be grouped into whole numbers and then sold on the spot market managed by B3 after the completion of the Merger, as per a notice to shareholders to be timely disclosed by Eletrobras' management. The proceeds from the sale, net of applicable fees, will be made available to the former shareholders of Eletropar, holders of the respective fractions, proportionally to their interest in Eletropar. The amounts to be paid will not incur monetary adjustment.

 

2.5.5.      Amendment to Eletrobras' Bylaws. Due to the capital increase of Eletrobras resulting from the Merger, as well as the issuance of the New Eletrobras’ Shares, the main clause of article 4 of Eletrobras' Bylaws must be amended to reflect the new value of the capital stock and the number of shares of the company.

 

"Article 4 - The capital stock is seventy billion, one hundred thirty-five million, two hundred one thousand, four hundred five reais and twenty-seven cents (BRL 70,135,201,405.27) divided into two billion, twenty-eight million, five hundred forty-four thousand, two hundred eighty-six (2,028,544,286) common shares, one hundred forty-six thousand nine hundred twenty (146,920) class “A” preferred shares, two hundred seventy-nine million, nine hundred forty-one thousand three hundred ninety-three (279,941,393) class “B” preferred shares, and one (1) special class preferred share held exclusively by the Federal Government, all without par value."

 


2.5.6.      Amendment to Eletropar's Bylaws. The Merger will result in the extinction of Eletropar, and therefore, no amendment to Eletropar's Bylaws will be applicable.

 

2.6.           Corporate Structure of Eletrobras after the Merger. With the approval of the Merger and its respective capital increase, with the consequent issuance of the New Eletrobras’ Shares and their delivery to Eletropar's shareholders (except for Eletrobras itself), there will be no significant change in the distribution of Eletrobras' issued shares, considering that it already has dispersed capital (i.e., without a defined controller) and the delivery of the new shares to the former minority shareholders of Eletropar will not affect this situation.

 

2.7.           Corporate Structure of Eletropar after the Merger. With the approval of the Merger, Eletropar will be extinguished due to its absorption by Eletrobras.

 

2.8.           Appraisal Report for the purposes of Article 264. Since the Merger is a transaction between a controlling and a controlled company, an appraisal report of each Company must be presented to Eletropar's shareholders, prepared in accordance with article 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law. In this regard, Ernst & Young Assessoria Empresarial Ltda., a limited liability company, headquartered in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, at Avenida Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek, No. 1,909, Vila Nova Conceição, ZIP Code 04543-907, SP Corp Tower North Tower, 9th floor, suite 91, registered with the CNPJ under No. 59.527.788/0001-31 (“EY”), was hired to prepare the respective reports, with reference date of September 30, 2024, which are part of the management proposal of Eletrobras and Eletropar regarding the Merger, as Schedules 4 and 5 (collectively, “Appraisal Reports of Article 264” and, individually, “Appraisal Report of Article 264”).

 

2.8.1.      If the share exchange ratio resulting from the Merger was calculated based on the Appraisal Reports of Article 264, zero point five two nine six (0.5296) common shares issued by Eletrobras would be attributed for each one (1) share issued by Eletropar held by Eletropar's shareholders (except for Eletrobras). In this way, it is verified that such an exchange ratio based on the Appraisal Reports of Article 264 is less favorable to Eletropar's shareholders than the Exchange Ratio effectively proposed to such shareholders as indicated in Section 2.4 above.

 

 


2.8.2.      Thus, the provisions of article 264, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law will not be applicable, so that the Dissenting Shareholders (as defined below) of Eletropar may have their eventual right of withdrawal calculated based on the provisions of article 45, paragraph 1 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, as will be detailed in Section 2.10 below.

 

2.9.           Shareholder Ratification of the Choice of Appraisers. The hiring of the appraisal companies responsible for the preparation and delivery of the Appraisal Report and the Appraisal Reports of Article 264 (namely, PWC and EY, respectively) must be ratified by the shareholders of the Companies, in their respective general meetings convened to deliberate on the Merger.

 

2.9.1.      Declaration of the Appraisal Companies. The appraisal companies mentioned above declared, in their respective appraisal reports, (i) that there is no conflict or community of interest, current or potential, with the shareholders of the Companies, or, regarding the Merger, as the case may be; and (ii) that the shareholders or the managers of the Companies have not directed, limited, hindered, or performed any acts that have or may have compromised the access, use, or knowledge of relevant information, assets, documents, or work methodologies for the quality of their conclusions. These appraisal companies were selected for the work described herein considering their extensive and well-known experience in preparing reports and appraisals of this nature.

 

2.9.2.      Costs. The costs related to the hiring of the appraisal companies for the preparation of the Appraisal Report and the Appraisal Reports of Article 264 were shared between Eletrobras and Eletropar.

 

2.9.3.      Equity Variations. The equity variations that occurred in Eletropar between the reference date of the Appraisal Report (which is December 31, 2023) and the date on which the Merger effected will continue to be borne and accounted for by it, and must be recorded in its accounting books, without any impact on the Merger.

 

2.10.       Right of Withdrawal. As provided in article 264, paragraph 3, article 136, item IV, and article 137, item II, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, if the Merger is consummated, the right of withdrawal will be guaranteed to the Dissenting Shareholders (as defined below) of Eletropar ("Right of Withdrawal"). For clarification purposes only, the Brazilian Corporate Law or any other applicable law does not provide for the right of withdrawal to dissenting shareholders of the merging company (Eletrobras).

 

2.10.1.   Dissenting Shareholders. For the purposes of exercising the Right of Withdrawal, dissenting shareholders will be considered those shareholders of Eletropar who reject or abstain in the respective deliberation on the Merger, as well as those who do not attend the respective Eletropar’s Extraordinary General Meeting that deliberates on it, or those whose shares do not confer voting rights ("Dissenting Shareholders"). The reimbursement of the value of the shares will only be guaranteed in relation to the shares that the Dissenting Shareholder has been continuously and demonstrably holding from (i) the date of the first publication of the notice of the meeting until (ii) the date of exercise of the Right of Withdrawal, pursuant to article 137, paragraph 1 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 


2.10.2.   Exercise Term. According to the procedure provided in article 137, item IV, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, for the purposes of exercising the right of withdrawal, the Dissenting Shareholders must express themselves within thirty (30) days from the publication of the minutes of the general meeting that approves the Merger.

 

2.10.3.   Number of Shares Subject to the Right of Withdrawal. The Right of Withdrawal can only be exercised in relation to the totality of the shares held since the closing of the B3 trading session on March 27, 2025 by the Dissenting Shareholder, and, therefore, partial exercise is not allowed.

 

2.10.4.   Right of Retraction. As provided in article 137, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, within ten (10) days after the end of the period for exercising the Right of Withdrawal, if the management bodies understand that the payment of the reimbursement price of the shares to the Dissenting Shareholders who exercised the Right of Withdrawal will jeopardize the financial stability of Eletropar, they are allowed to convene a general meeting to ratify or reconsider the deliberation, pursuant to paragraph 3 of article 227 of the Brazilian Corporate Law. Nevertheless, the Merger will be effective from the date of the meeting that approves it.

 

2.10.4.1.              The date of the actual payment of the reimbursement amount to the Dissenting Shareholders who exercise the right of withdrawal will be timely informed through a Notice to Shareholders, which will be disclosed on the date: (i) of the decision of Eletropar's management not to exercise the right to call a new meeting to reconsider the resolution on the Merger, as provided for in article 137, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, within ten (10) days after the term for exercising the right of withdrawal; or (ii) of ratification of the resolution in a new general meeting, which has been called by the management due to the prerogative of reconsideration. If the new meeting reconsiders the said resolution, the Merger will not be implemented and there will be no withdrawal or reimbursement.

 

 


2.10.5.   Reimbursement Amount. In view of the provisions of Section 2.8.2 above, the reimbursement amount per share held by a Dissenting Shareholder who has exercised their Right of Withdrawal will be eighteen reais and four thousand six hundred thirty-five ten-thousandths (BRL 18.4635) (amount calculated based on article 45 of the Brazilian Corporate Law). The amount will not be subject to monetary adjustment.

 

2.10.5.1.              Furthermore, the reimbursement of shares may be paid to the Dissenting Shareholders from profits or reserves, except the legal reserve, and, in this case, the reimbursed shares will remain in Eletrobras' treasury, as established by article 45, paragraph 5, of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

2.10.6.   Financial Statements. For the purposes of article 6, paragraph 2, of CVM Resolution No. 78, the Companies disclose in Schedule I the year-end financial statements and the quarterly information forms regularly required to fulfill their periodic obligations with the CVM.

 

2.11.       Corporate Approvals. The implementation of the Merger depends on the following corporate acts:

 

(a)             Eletropar Extraordinary General Meeting to decide on:

 

(i)               Ratification of the appointment of PWC as the appraisal firm responsible for preparing the Appraisal Report;

 

(ii)             Approval of the Appraisal Report;

(viii)         Authorization for Eletrobras' managers to perform all necessary acts for the implementation of the Merger.

 

3.               OTHER PROVISIONS

 

3.1.           Operational Continuity. Prior to the implementation of the Merger, Eletrobras prepared its own structure to absorb Eletropar' operations. As a result, after the implementation of the Merger, Eletrobras will operate Eletropar's activities, while the latter will be absorbed by Eletrobras and extinguished. In this sense, Eletrobras has signed and will sign with its respective clients, suppliers, employees, other contractors and relevant government authorities the respective instruments of assignment of the rights and obligations previously held by Eletropar. Eletrobras' customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders should not expect a change in management and commercial relations.

 

3.2.           Succession. As a result of the Merger, Eletrobras will absorb all the assets, rights, contingencies and obligations of Eletropar, since Eletropar will cease to exist, and there will therefore be an universal succession of Eletropar by Eletrobras.

 


 

3.3.           Registrations and Annotations. It will be the responsibility of Eletrobras' management, with the collaboration of Eletropar' management, to carry out all the acts necessary for the implementation of the Merger, as well as to provide all the communications, registrations, records and registrations that are necessary for the transaction to be effective.

 

3.4.           Amendments. Unless otherwise provided for in this Protocol, this instrument may only be amended by means of a written instrument signed by the legal representatives of both Companies.

 

3.5.           Digital Signature. This Protocol is signed electronically, through the Docusign platform, using a digital certificate issued in accordance with the standard established by ICP-Brasil, and is considered fully valid, in all its content, as of the affixing of the last signature, which information will be recognized by the Parties in its integrity and authenticity, guaranteed by an encryption system, in accordance with article 10, paragraph 2, of Provisional Measure No. 2200-2/2001, as well as any supervening legislation. The signatories declare that they are the legitimate representatives of the Companies and that they have the power to sign this Protocol. Regardless of the place and date of each Company's digital signature, the Companies agree that the date and place indicated below shall be considered for all purposes as the date and place of signature of this Protocol.

 

And because they are thus just and contracted, the Companies enter into this Protocol in the form of Section 3.5 above, and the signature of witnesses is waived, pursuant to paragraph 4 of article 784 of the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended by Law No. 14,620/2023.

Information of the Merger

(Schedule I of RCVM 81)

 

1.               Protocol and justification of the transaction, pursuant to articles 224 and 225 of Law No. 6,404, of 1976.

 

A full copy of the protocol and justification for the merger of Eletrobrás Participações S.A. (“Eletropar”) by Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. – Eletrobras (“Eletrobras” and “Protocol and Justification”, respectively) can be found in Schedule 1 of the Management Proposal (as defined below).

 

2.               Other agreements, contracts, and pre-contracts regulating the exercise of voting rights or the transfer of shares issued by the surviving or resulting companies from the transaction, filed at the company's headquarters or of which the company's controller is a part.

 

Not applicable.

 

3.               Description of the transaction, including:

 

a.              Terms and conditions

 

The transaction will involve the merger of Eletropar by Eletrobras (“Merger”), pursuant to articles 224 to 227 and 264 of Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976, as amended (“Brazilian Corporate Law”).

 

As a result of the Merger, Eletrobras will succeed all rights and obligations of Eletropar, and Eletropar will be extinguished.

 

For the purposes of the provisions of article 224, item III, article 226, and article 227, paragraphs 1 and 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the net equity of Eletropar was calculated based on its book value, as provided in articles 183 and 184 and permitted by article 226, paragraph 3, also of the Brazilian Corporate Law, determined in the closing balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, through an appraisal report prepared by the expert Pricewaterhousecoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda., a limited liability company, headquartered at Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, No. 3,732, 16th floor, parts 1 to 6, Itaim Bibi, city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, ZIP Code 04538-132, registered with the National Register of Legal Entities (CNPJ) under No. 61.562.112/0001-20 (“PWC” and “Appraisal Report”, respectively).

 


 

The Merger will result in an increase in Eletrobras' capital stock in the total amount of thirty-five million, three hundred seventy-five thousand, seven hundred eighty-four Brazilian reais and forty-eight cents (BRL 35,375,784.48), equivalent to the net equity value of Eletropar, weighted by the participation of Eletropar's minority shareholders, as determined in the Appraisal Report, with the consequent issuance of one million, five hundred thirty-two thousand, seven hundred eighty-eight (1,532,788) new common shares by Eletrobras, all book-entry and without par value, with the same rights and obligations currently attributed to the common shares already issued by Eletrobras, including participation in the results of the current fiscal year.

 

In this regard, Eletrobras will issue new shares to be delivered to Eletropar's minority shareholders, based on the exchange ratio proposed in the Protocol and Justification. Regarding the exchange ratio of Eletropar's issued shares by the new shares to be issued by Eletrobras, refer to item 5, letter “ e” below.

 

Furthermore, Eletropar's dissenting shareholders who, in relation to the approval of the Merger, (i) do not vote in favor of the matter; (ii) abstain from voting on the matter; or (iii) do not attend the meeting (referred to as dissenting shareholders) will have the right to withdraw calculated pursuant to article 45, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporate Law (i.e., the net equity value stated in Eletropar's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023), with the right to request the preparation of a special balance sheet, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of article 45 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

For clarification purposes only, the Brazilian Corporate Law or any other applicable law does not provide for the right of withdrawal to dissenting shareholders of the merging company (Eletrobras).

 

For more information about the right of withdrawal, refer to Schedule 8 of the management proposal regarding the Merger ("Management Proposal"), in compliance with Schedule H of CVM Resolution No. 81, of March 29, 2022 ("RCVM 81"); and for more information about the appraisers hired to prepare the reports mentioned above, refer to Schedule 7 of the Management Proposal, in compliance with Schedule L of RCVM 81.

As indicated in item 3, letter "a" above, the minority shareholders of Eletropar will receive common shares issued by Eletrobras as a result of the Merger, which will have the same rights, advantages, and restrictions applicable to the other common shares issued by Eletrobras.

Not applicable.

 

4.               Plans for conducting business, especially regarding specific corporate events intended to be promoted.

 

Eletrobras has prepared its own structure to absorb Eletropar's corporate business. Thus, after the implementation of the Merger, Eletrobras will operate Eletropar's activities, while the latter will be absorbed by Eletrobras and will cease to exist.

 

5.               Analysis of the following aspects of the transaction:

 

a. Description of the main expected benefits, including:

 

(i) Synergies

 

Given the extinction of Eletropar, the Merger will result in: (i) simplification of Eletrobras' corporate structure; (ii) higher levels of corporate governance regarding the activities previously carried out by Eletropar (since such activities will be carried out directly by Eletrobras); and (iii) greater speed in the decision-making process of the activities previously carried out by Eletropar (since this decision-making process will be carried out directly by Eletrobras).

 

For more synergies, see the strategic advantages mentioned in item 5, letter "a", subitem (iii) below.

 

(ii) Tax benefits

 

Not applicable.

 

 


(iii) Strategic advantages

 

The merger of companies is an instrument of corporate reorganization and concentration widely used by economic groups in search of synergies, transactional gains, cost reduction, simplification of corporate structures, greater speed in the decision-making process, and increased competitiveness of the and efficiency of the group against competitors.

 

The main objective of the transaction is to ensure the merger of Eletropar, with its consequent extinction and the assumption of all rights and obligations of Eletropar by Eletrobras.

 

The Merger of Eletropar, with its consequent extinction and the assumption of all rights and obligations of Eletropar by Eletrobras, is justified as being in the interest of all interested parties.

 

As a result of the Merger, Eletrobras and its shareholders will enjoy higher levels of corporate governance concerning the activities previously carried out by Eletropar (since such activities will be carried out directly by Eletrobras).

 

From the perspective of Eletrobras’ shareholders, the Merger is equally relevant and justified, as it unlocks extremely relevant value levers associated with the management and organization of the activities currently carried out by Eletropar, which will ultimately reflect in the expectation of future appreciation and profitability of Eletrobras itself.

 

From the perspective of Eletropar's minority shareholders, it is benefical to migrate to Eletrobras' shareholder base, which is constituted in the format of a publicly held company with dispersed capital in a true corporation model. In this sense, by becoming shareholders of Eletrobras as a result of the Merger, these agents will have greater liquidity and political power, as they will no longer be minority shareholders of a company with defined control and whose shares have a low level of trading on B3.

 

Additionally, the Merger presents greater integration and standardization of processes, systems, and practices, including the design of a unified strategy for professional career paths associated with a high-performance culture and meritocracy.

 

 


b. Costs

 

The Merger presents cost reductions for the Eletrobras group, especially due to the elimination of redundancies and inefficiencies, as well as the more efficient allocation of resources and people.

 

c. Risk factors

 

Not applicable, since Eletrobras is already the controller and holder of almost all shares issued by Eletropar.

 

d. In the case of a related-party, any alternatives that could have been used to achieve the same objectives, indicating the reasons why these alternatives were discarded.

 

Although the Merger is between related parties (since Eletrobras is the controlling shareholder of Eletropar), no other ways to achieve the same objectives of the Merger were identified.

 

e. Exchange ratio

 

The exchange ratio of Eletropar's issued shares for the new shares to be issued by Eletrobras was calculated and proposed by the managers of the companies involved based on the report of the Independent Committee (as detailed below).

 

The exchange ratio proposed by the managers in the Management Proposal and the Protocol and Justification is one (1) common share, book-entry and without par value issued by Eletropar for zero point eight (0.8) common share, book-entry and without par value issued by Eletrobras.

 

Independent Committee

 

Considering that the Merger is an transaction involving a controlling company, Eletrobras, and a controlled company, Eletropar, to ensure a higher level of corporate governance for the Merger, the board of directors of Eletropar decided, in a meeting held on August 11, 2023, to create a special independent committee, in accordance with CVM Guidance Opinion No. 35, of September 1, 2008 ("Independent Committee").

 


 

The Independent Committee's function is to negotiate and establish the exchange ratio applicable to the Merger and submit its recommendation to the board of directors of Eletropar.

 

The Independent Committee has the following composition:

 

a)       Mr. Renan dos Santos Antunes, Eletropar director chosen by the majority of the board of directors of Eletropar, in a board of directors’ meeting held on August 11, 2023;

 

b)       Mr. Carlos Alberto Policaro, Eletropar director elected by the company's shareholders at the Eletropar’s general meeting held on September 11, 2023, where Eletrobras, as the controlling shareholder of Eletropar, abstained from voting, so that the election was carried out solely by the Eletropar's non-controlling shareholders; and

 

c)       Ms. Lucia Maria Martins Casasanta, jointly chosen by Mr. Renan dos Santos Antunes and Mr. Carlos Alberto Policaro.

 

After due evaluation and independent discussion, the Independent Committee concluded that the exchange ratio, which ensures the commutativity of the Merger, is one (1) common share, book-entry, and without par value issued by Eletropar for zero point eight (0.8) common share, book-entry, and without par value share issued by Eletrobras, and this recommendation was approved by the Eletropar’s board of directors on March 27, 2025.

Schedule 8

Information about the Right of Withdrawal in the context of the Merger

(Schedule H of CVM Resolution 81)

 

1.               Describe the event that gave or will give rise to the withdrawal and its legal basis.

 

The event that will give rise to the right of withdrawal is the merger of Eletrobrás Participações S.A. (“Eletropar”) by Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. – Eletrobras, (“Eletrobras” and “Merger”), respectively as provided in article 136, item IV, and article 137 of Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976 (“Brazilian Corporate Law”).

 

The right of withdrawal may be exercised by Eletropar shareholders who, in relation to the approval of the Merger, (i) do not vote in favor of the matter; (ii) abstain from voting on the matter; or (iii) do not attend the meeting (referred to as dissenting shareholders).

 

We also clarifiy that the Brazilian Corporate Law or any other applicable law does not provide for the right of withdrawal to dissenting shareholders of Eletrobras due to the Merger.

 

2.               Inform the shares and classes to which the withdrawal applies.

 

According to article 137, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the right of withdrawal may be exercised by shareholders holding common shares issued by Eletropar ("Common Shares") who: (i) prove uninterrupted ownership of their shares between the close of trading on March 27, 2025 (including), the date of the first publication of the call notice of the meeting, and the date of the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal; and (ii) are dissenting shareholders at the Eletropar meeting that deliberates on the Merger ("Meeting").

 

It is thus worth clarifying that dissenting shareholders may only exercise the right of withdrawal in relation to the totality of the Common Shares of which they were proven holders since the close of trading on March 27, 2025 (inclusive) and maintained under their ownership uninterruptedly until the date of the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal, with partial exercise of the right of withdrawal not being permitted.

 

At an appropriate and opportune moment, Eletropar will disclose a Notice to Shareholders containing detailed information for the exercise of the right of withdrawal.

 


For clarification purposes, there are no preferred shares issued by Eletropar as of this date, with the entirety of its capital stock being composed of Common Shares.

 

3.               Inform the date of the first publication of the call notice of the meeting, as well as the date of the disclosure of the material fact regarding the resolution that gave or will give rise to the withdrawal.

 

The call notice of the Meeting was first published on March 27, 2025. The material fact regarding the resolution that will give rise to the right of withdrawal was disclosed on March 27, 2025.

 

4.               Inform the period for exercising the right of withdrawal and the date that will be considered for determining the holders of shares who may exercise the right of withdrawal.

 

The period for exercising the right of withdrawal is thirty (30) days from the date of publication of the minutes of the Meeting, to be held on April 29, 2025, at 2 p.m., and if the dissenting shareholder does not exercise it, their right will lapse, pursuant to paragraph 4 of article 137 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

 

Only dissenting shareholders who maintain uninterrupted ownership of their Common Shares between the close of trading on March 27, 2025 (including), the date of the first publication of the call notice for the meeting, and the date of the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal will be entitled to the right of withdrawal.

 

For clarification purposes, shareholders who acquired Common Shares from March 28, 2025 (including), or those who acquired Common Shares via “share loan” will not be entitled to the right of withdrawal due to the Merger.

 

It is worth clarifying that dissenting shareholders may only exercise the right of withdrawal with respect to the entirety of the Common Shares of which they were proven holders since the close of trading on March 27, 2025 (including) and maintained under their ownership, uninterruptedly until the date of the effective exercise of the right of withdrawal, with partial exercise of the right of withdrawal not being permitted.

 


Pursuant to article 137, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the management of Eletropar may, within ten (10) days after the end of the period for exercising the right of withdrawal, which will begin with the publication of the minutes of the Meeting, call a general meeting to reconsider the resolution due to the volume of the right of withdrawal eventually exercised by the dissenting shareholders.

 

Thus, the date of the effective payment of the reimbursement amount to dissenting shareholders who exercise the right of withdrawal will be timely informed through a notice to shareholders, which will be disclosed on the date: (i) of the decision of Eletropar's management not to exercise the right to call a new meeting to reconsider the resolution on the Merger, as provided for in article 137, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, within ten (10) days after the end of the period for exercising the right of withdrawal; or (ii) of the ratification of the resolution in a new general meeting, which has been called by the management due to the prerogative of reconsideration. If the new meeting reconsiders the said resolution, the Merger will not be implemented, and there will be no withdrawal or reimbursement.

 

5.               Inform the reimbursement amount per share or, if it is not possible to determine it in advance, the management's estimate of this amount.

 

Dissenting shareholders who exercise the right of withdrawal will be entitled to a reimbursement amount of eighteen Brazilian reais and four thousand, six hundred and thirty-five cents (BRL 18.4635) per Common Share, without the incidence of monetary restatement, subject to the possibility of calling a general meeting to reconsider the Merger.

 

6.               Inform the method of calculating the reimbursement amount.

 

Considering that Eletropar's Bylaws do not establish a rule for determining the reimbursement amount, pursuant to article 45, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the reimbursement amount must be calculated based on the net equity stated in Eletropar's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, approved at the ordinary general meeting held on April 29, 2024.

 

7.               Inform whether shareholders will have the right to request the preparation of a special balance sheet.

 

Pursuant to article 45, paragraph 2, of the Brazilian Corporate Law, dissenting shareholders will be allowed to request, within the period for exercising the right of withdrawal, the preparation of a special balance sheet.

 


In line with the understandings of the Board of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the date of the preparation of the special balance sheet will be defined by Eletrobras.

 

Pursuant to the same article of the Brazilian Corporate Law, if any dissenting shareholder exercises this right, Eletropar will immediately pay eighty percent (80%) of the reimbursement amount indicated in item 5 above and, once the special balance sheet is prepared, will pay the remaining balance within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the resolution of the Meeting. 5

 

8.               If the reimbursement amount is determined through an appraisal, list the experts or specialized companies recommended by the management.

 

Not applicable.

 

9.               In the case of a merger, merger of shares, or consolidation involving controlling and controlled companies or companies under common control.

 

a.              Calculate the share exchange ratios based on the net equity value at market prices or another criterion accepted by the CVM.

 

Based on the appraisal report of Eletrobras and Eletropar prepared by Ernst & Young Assessoria Empresarial Ltda. for the purposes of article 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law ("Article 264 Appraisal Report"), the share exchange ratio would be one (1) common share of Eletropar for zero point five two nine six (0.5296) common share of Eletrobras.

 

b.              Inform whether the share exchange ratios provided for in the transaction protocol are less advantageous than those calculated according to item 9(a) above.

 

The exchange ratio presented in the protocol and justification of the Merger, compared to the exchange ratio presented in item a above, is more advantageous for Eletropar's shareholders and, therefore, the provision in paragraph 3 of article 264 of the Brazilian Corporate Law will not apply to Eletropar's dissenting shareholders, so these shareholders may exercise their right of withdrawal based on the reimbursement amount determined pursuant to article 45, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporate Law (which means the net equity value stated in Eletropar's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023). a The reimbursement amount determined pursuant to article 45, paragraph 1, of the Brazilian Corporate Law is eighteen reais and four thousand, six hundred and thirty-five cents (BRL 18.4635), while the amount determined in the Article 264 Appraisal Report is thirteen reais and three thousand and thirty-eight cents (BRL 13.3038) per Common Share.

 


 

c.              Inform the reimbursement amount calculated based on the net equity value at market prices or another criterion accepted by the CVM.

 

Based on the Article 264 Appraisal Report, the reimbursement amount is thirteen reais and three thousand and thirty-eight cents (BRL 13.3038) per Common Share.

 

10.           Inform the equity book value of each share determined according to the last approved balance sheet.

 

The equity book value per share of Eletropar, based on the net equity presented in the consolidated financial statements of Eletropar as of December 31, 2023, approved at the ordinary general meeting held on April 29, 2024, is eighteen reais and four thousand, six hundred and thirty-five cents (BRL 18.4635).

 

 


SCHEDULE 9

Section 2 of the Company's Reference Form (management’s discussion and analysis on financial conditions and results of operations)

 

2.       Management comments

Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information contained in items 2.1 to 2.9 of this section is derived from the consolidated individual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, including the accounting pronouncements issued by the Accounting Pronouncement Committee (CPC) and the international financial reporting standards (International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The Company's management cannot guarantee that the financial situation and operating results obtained in the past will be reproduced in the future.

On July 1, 2024, after fulfilling all the established conditions, the incorporation of Furnas was completed, as mentioned in items 1.1 and 1.12 of this Reference Form.

Current Liquidity Ratio

In 2024, there was an increase in Eletrobras' current liquidity ratio from 1.77 to 2.04, due to the growth in the balance of current assets from BRL 48,022,312 thousand in 2023 to BRL 64,451,102 thousand in 2024. The change was mainly identified by the increase in the Availability and Securities accounts due to the funding carried out in the 2024 fiscal year, of BRL 29,965,839 thousand.

Gross Debt

The Gross Debt increased by 27.18%, from BRL 59,460,369 thousand in 2023 to BRL 75,620,574 thousand in 2024. This growth reflects the funding of BRL 29,965,839 thousand, most of which was the issuance of debentures in the amount of BRL 17,813,795 thousand, in addition to access to the international market, with emphasis on the issuance of bonds by Eletrobras, of US$ 750 million maturing in 2035, and the contracting of financing in the amount of US$ 400 million, with a guarantee from the Italian Export Credit Agency – Servizi Assicurativi Del Commercio Estero SPA (SACE).

 


Considering the management of liabilities carried out by Eletrobras, the average term of the debt was extended by about 10.7 months and the average total cost went from CDI + 1.5% p.a. to CDI + 0.1% p.a.

Availability

Cash and cash equivalents increased by 84.55%, from BRL 19,594,693 thousand in 2023 to BRL 36,162,958 thousand in 2024. This variation is mainly due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents and securities, in the amount of BRL 18,966,542 thousand in 2023 and BRL 35,524,360 thousand, substantially due to the inflows of funds related to the funding that occurred in 2024.

Net Debt

Net Debt totaled BRL 39,457,615 thousand in 2024, compared to BRL 39,865,677 thousand in 2023, remaining stable in the period, despite the significant funding made. The funds obtained remain substantially available to the Company, in line with its liquidity strategy in the short term.

Immediate Liquidity

The Immediate Liquidity indicator increased by 0.42, from 0.72 in 2023 to 1.14 in 2024. This change was mainly due to the growth in Cash and Cash Equivalents. Thus, the Company presented sufficient liquidity to cover all its investments, current expenses, debt payments and other expenses in the course of its operating activities.

Net Leverage

The Net Leverage ratio decreased by 3.11 percentage points, from 35.45% in 2023 to 32.34% in 2024, mainly reflecting the impact of the change in net debt.

b.       Capital Structure

The capital structure consists of the way a company finances its activities, and can combine equity and third-party capital, either with loans and financing with the main financial institutions (domestic or international) or by issuing securities in the capital market. In this sense, the indicator measured by the ratio between third-party liabilities and total liabilities was 57.91% in 2024.

The proportion between total financing from equity sources and third-party capital sources in 2024 was 72.59%.

The table below shows the evolution of these indicators in 2024.

Considering the Company's capital structure, its current debt profile, its cash flow generation and its liquidity, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to cover all its investments, current expenses, debt payments and other expenses in the course of its operating activities.

c.       Payment capacity in relation to financial commitments

The Company continuously evaluates opportunities to increase cash generation and is committed to reducing costs and expenses, maintaining an adequate level of debt and ensuring financial discipline in capital allocation.

Based on the information described below, which includes the Company's indebtedness profile, with the respective amortization schedule and its availabilities, read together with the liquidity ratios set forth in item 2.1 (a) and also considering the Company's leverage capacity, Eletrobras' Management understands that, on the date of presentation of this Section 2, is able to honor its financial commitments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its financial commitments and maintained a cash balance and cash equivalents in the amount of BRL 26,572,522 thousand as presented in the December 2024 Financial Statements.

d.       Sources of financing for working capital and investments in non-current assets used

The Company's capital needs are financed through resources from its operations and through financing with third-party resources, such as capital market operations, such as debentures, incentivized debentures, commercial notes, as well as bilateral financing operations with national and international financial institutions, as well as through any liability management operations. The Company also has statutory authorization to raise funds through an authorized capital increases.

In 2024, the inflow of funds related to third-party capital was in the amount of BRL 29,965,839 thousand.

 


e.       Sources of funding for working capital and investments in non-current assets that you intend to use to cover liquidity shortfalls

The Company's main sources of cash generation come from its electricity generation, transmission operations and from its interests in other companies in the electricity sector. Thus, the Company understands that there are no risks or liquidity deficiencies.

However, if the need to obtain funds to make investments in non-current assets and working capital is verified, Eletrobras could envision a range of alternatives as means to enable the achievement of the necessary amounts. To this end, it is considered feasible:

(i) to obtain financing from financial institutions;
(ii) access to the local and/or international capital market;
(iii) obtaining resources from multilateral agencies, in models similar to those already carried out in the past, subject to the availability of credit; and
(iv) carrying out operations with financial institutions in the "A/B Loan" modality.

In any case, it should be noted that the terms and conditions of the financing, loans or bonds that may potentially be issued must be compatible with the construction schedule of the projects to which they are associated, in the same way that the cost must be adequate to the cash flow of the project considering the characteristics of the project's remuneration. Periodically, Eletrobras considers new potential investment opportunities, which can be financed with funds generated by its operations, fundraising from third parties, such as loans, financing and issuance of debt securities, capital increases or other sources of funding that may be available at the time in question.

It is highlighted that 16.9% of the Company's gross debt, or BRL 12,809,872 thousand, was positioned as short-term obligations and 83.1%, or BRL 62,810,702 thousand, corresponded to long-term obligations.

In addition, the Company has been imposing an increasingly efficient and competitive financial management over the last few years, which has been reflected in the gradual change in its debt profile, as can be seen from the portfolio of credit operations in force.

Additional information on the Company's debentures and commercial notes is available in section 12.3 of this Reference Form.

Guarantees provided by Eletrobras

Eletrobras, in the fundamental performance of its role as Holding Company of the largest energy economic group in Brazil, assumes, through the provision of guarantees, the leading role and responsibility of unrestricted support to the activities of its investees, in proportion to the capital contributed, especially linked to projects resulting from the auctions held by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) in previous years. in addition to other structuring factors for the Brazilian electricity sector.

In addition, Law No. 14,182, of July 12, 2021, established that Eletrobras and its subsidiaries remain obliged to maintain their guarantees offered to third parties, in contracts signed prior to privatization. As a result of this provision, the guarantees offered by Eletrobras in Eletronuclear's operations are maintained in their entirety, even after the conclusion of the capitalization process and consequent change of control of that company. This situation applies to debt contracts entered into by Eletronuclear in which, within the scope of the current guarantee structure, Eletrobras is directly as a guarantor and/or obliged to provide full shareholder support in the event of default by the borrower.

In 2024, considering the aforementioned context, the guarantees provided to non-controlled companies totaled BRL 25,453,409 thousand.

ii. Other long-term relationships with financial institutions

In 2024, Eletrobras had no other relevant long-term relationships with financial institutions in terms of financial liabilities other than those already indicated in this item 2.1, paragraph (f), item (i).

iii. Degree of subordination between debts

In 2024, the Company's current debts were supported by real or unsecured guarantees, and there was no contractual clause of subordination. Thus, in any universal creditors’ meeting, the subordination of the obligations recorded in the Company's financial statements will take place in accordance with Law No. 11,101, of February 9, 2005.

 


iv. any restrictions imposed on the issuer, in particular, in relation to indebtedness limits and contracting of new debts, the distribution of dividends, the sale of assets, the issuance of new securities and the sale of corporate control, as well as whether the issuer has been complying with these restrictions.

Net Operating Income

Compared to 2023, net operating revenue increased 8.1%, from BRL 37,158,908 thousand to BRL 40,181,552 thousand in 2024.

 


In the generation segment, this variation was mainly due to:

(i) the renegotiation of the hydrological risk of the Tucuruí HPP, as a consequent extension of the 50-day concession in the 12th and 13th Existing Energy Auction (EEA), with the entirety of its physical guarantee allocated to the Regulated Contracting Environment (RCE), which resulted in an increase of BRL 1,327,396 thousand in supply revenue;
(ii) the capture of the effects of the consolidation of the Teles Pires HPP throughout the 2024 fiscal year, generating a total positive impact of BRL 1,046,642 thousand (the consolidation occurred from 3Q23 onwards);
(iii) the increase in revenue in the Free Contracting Environment (FCE), due to the gradual de-quoting of the plants and the average Difference Settlement Price (DSP) in the short-term market (STM), which went from BRL 70/MWh in 2023 to BRL 130/MWh in 2024. These effects offset the losses from the sale of UTE Candiota III and the lower revenue earned from the supply of energy to Amazonas Energia.

In the transmission segment, revenue increased 10.7%, from BRL 17,432,037 thousand in 2023 to BRL 19,292,579 thousand in 2024, mainly due to the 40.6% increase in construction revenue, directly related to the investments made (appropriated and allocated) in ongoing transmission projects, with emphasis on: Eletrobras (BRL 441,359 thousand), Eletrobras Eletronorte (BRL 365,088 thousand), Nova Era Janapu (BRL 174,564 thousand), Eletrobras Chesf (BRL 168,046 thousand) and Eletrobras CGT Eletrosul (BRL 51,888 thousand).

Operating Costs

Operating costs in 2024 increased by 19%, migrating from the level of BRL 18,673,499 thousand in 2023 to BRL 22,143,030 thousand in 2024. This variation was due to:

(i) the purchase of energy in the Short-Term Market (STM) to meet the energy sales contracts in the FCE, which increased by 9.7%, from BRL 3,387,607 thousand in 2023 to BRL 3,717,468 thousand in 2024;
(ii) the costs related to the termination of contracts and the renegotiation of the hydrological risk of the Tucuruí HPP, totaling a non-recurring effect of BRL 210,522 thousand; and
(iii) to the new PPAs (Power Purchase Agreement) of incentivized energy.

There was a variation in construction costs, which increased by 30% in 2024, from BRL 3,291,132 thousand in 2023 to BRL 4,286,914 thousand in 2024. This increase was directly related to the investments made (appropriated and allocated) in the ongoing transmission projects mentioned above.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses in 2024 decreased by 38.9%, from BRL 7,456,137 thousand in 2023 to BRL 4,559,135 thousand in 2024. This variation was mainly due to:

(i) a 7% reduction in expenses with personnel, material, services and others, which went from BRL 8,182,889 thousand in 2023 to BRL 7,592,787 thousand in 2024, mainly impacted by the reduction in the number of employees due to the Voluntary Dismissal Plans (VDPs); and
(ii) the reduction of 107.3% in the amounts of operating provisions, with a reversal of BRL 2,661,073 thousand, highlighting:

 


(a)    the reversal of BRL 167,000 thousand referring to the impairment of UTE Santa Cruz and provision for loss of BRL 125,822 thousand in on the sale of the interest in ISA Energia; and

(b)    constitutions of BRL 871,403 thousand and reversals of BRL 1,116,720 thousand.

Regulatory Remeasurements

Regulatory remeasurements had a significant increase in 2024, from a negative balance of BRL 12,144 thousand in 2023 to BRL 6,129,771 thousand in 2024. The remeasurements of the renewed contracts occurred mainly due to the revision of the projection of the BNES Economical (Basic Network Existing System) despite the reduction of the APR, the Company remeasured the flow of APR of the BNES, based on the parameters below, considered in the periodic tariff review (PTR):

New APR flow deadline for updating the regulatory depreciation quota with receivables associated with the remuneration of assets projected until 2032;
Movement of the asset base;
Revaluation of assets due to regulatory average depreciation;
Update by the new replacement value - NRV of the base to be remunerated; and
Consideration of the projected flow of non-depreciable receivables until the end of the concession.

The remeasurement carried out resulted in an impact of BRL 6,129,771 thousand, with BNES being the main component of this value, representing BRL 5,930,762 thousand.

Financial Result

The net financial result decreased by 3%, from a financial expense of BRL 12,002,121 thousand in 2023 to a financial expense of BRL 11,628,120 thousand in 2024. This reduction is mainly due to variations in inflation and interest rates. The cumulative IPCA was 4.83% in 2024, slightly above the 4.62% recorded in 2023, as well as a reduction in the CDI rate from 2023 to 2024. This scenario impacted the monetary adjustment of indexed liabilities, such as compulsory loans, contributing to the reduction of financial expenses.

Income from Equity Interests

The result of equity interests on accounted investments increased 21% in 2024 compared to the amount of BRL 2,062,090 thousand in 2023. This increase was mainly due to the improvement in the result of minority stakes held by Eletrobras due to advances in the management of the investee portfolio. Among these variations, the positive equity records of the investees ISA Energia with BRL 874 million, Eletrobras Termonuclear S.A. com BRL 562 million and SPE Belo Monte Transmissora de Energia (BMTE) with BRL 292 million stand out. On the other hand, SPE Norte Energia and SPE Enerpeixe had negative contributions of BRL 836 million and BRL10 million, respectively.

Other Income and Expenses

Other revenues and expenses decreased by BRL 514,740 thousand, from BRL 651,280 thousand in 2023 to BRL 136,540 thousand in 2024, especially due to the write-off of the obligation of BRL 96 million, referring to the assumption of the debts assumed by the former Centrais Elétricas de Rondônia S.A. (Ceron).

 


Income Tax and Social Contribution

The provision for IR and CSLL, considering deferred and current tax, revenue decreased from BRL 2,998,498 thousand in 2023 to an expense of BRL 240,030 thousand in 2024, representing a decrease of 108%. This variation was mainly due to:

(i) the write-off of the deferred tax on Eletrobras CGT Eletrosul, resulting from the conclusion of the sale of UTE Candiota III, due to the lack of expectation of future recoverability in the amount of BRL 461,458 thousand;
(ii) BRL 1,710,472 thousand referring to the recognition of the expectation of future recoverability in Eletrobras, from the merger of Furnas, of the deferred tax of time differences and losses on a negative basis; and
(iii) Negative adjustments of temporary deferred taxes on the reversal of impairment in the amount of BRL 228,366 thousand and onerous contracts in the amount of BRL 23,363 thousand.

Net Income for the Year

Eletrobras posted a net income of BRL 10,380,754 thousand in the 2024 fiscal year, compared to the net income of BRL 4,394,861 thousand recorded in 2023, representing a variation of 136%, as explained in the previous items.

From Operational Activities

In 2024, cash flows from operating activities increased by 50.40%, from BRL 8,235,338 thousand in 2023 to BRL 12,385,583 thousand. This significant growth mainly was due to the extension of the ACR contracts of the Tucuruí HPP, which, through the renegotiation of the GSF, resulted in an increase in the amount of BRL 1,327,396 thousand in revenue, and to the reduction in the payment of taxes due to the fiscal management carried out by the Company.

From (applied) in Investment Activities

In 2024, the cash flows generated by investment activities had a negative change, changing from a balance of BRL 827,038 thousand in 2023 to a negative balance of BRL 8,660,321 thousand in 2024. This variation was due to the higher investment in securities in the amount of BRL 3,064,434 thousand compared to the redemption of BRL 3,143,232 thousand in 2023.

From (applied) in Funding Activities

In 2024, cash flows from financing activities increased by 245.1%, from a negative cash flow of BRL 6,755,131 thousand in 2023 to a positive cash flow of BRL 9,800,889 thousand in 2024. This variation was due to the fundraising in the amount of BRL 29,965,839 thousand in 2024 compared to the amount of BRL 11,821,045 thousand in 2023.

 


 

2.2. Operational and Financial Results:

a.       Results of the Company's operations, in particular

i.       Description of any important components of the recipe

Operating Revenues Electricity Operations

Eletrobras' revenues derive mainly from the generation and transmission of electricity.

Generation: Revenues from the generation activity derive from the sale of electricity generated by Eletrobras to distribution companies and free consumers and from the revenue from operation and maintenance of plants whose concessions were renewed under the terms of Law No. 12,783/2013, later amended by Law No. 14,182/2021, which provided for the capitalization of Eletrobras and the execution of new concession contracts under an independent production regime for the plants reached by Law No. 12,783/2013. Such revenues occur at the amounts agreed upon in contracts, observing the revenues arising from settlement in the short-term market. There is also the receipt for the provision of ancillary services by some hydroelectric plants, as provided for by ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 1,030/2022, which may be remunerated by ancillary services tariff (TSA) or annual revenue, as applicable.

Transmission: Revenues from transmission activity derive from the construction and operation of transmission line infrastructure by Eletrobras, as well as from the operation and maintenance of these facilities and are known as Annual Permitted Revenue (APR), approved by ANEEL for each tariff cycle. The APR is obtained from the revenues received from sectoral agents that use Eletrobras' transmission facilities. The price charged to the sectoral agents that connect to the transmission networks in this activity is regulated and known as the tariff for the use of the transmission system (TUST). Eletrobras, as a transmission of electricity, cannot negotiate prices with users. For some contracts, the APR is fixed and monetarily updated by price ratio once a year. For the other contracts, the APR is monetarily updated by price ratio once a year and reviewed every five years. In the annual monetary update process, revenues are also established for investments in reinforcements and improvements expected to come into operation. For transmission concessions renewed under the terms of Law No. 12,783/2013, there is a specific methodology for reviewing the operating costs to be recognized in the revenue.

Other Operational Revenues

Operational revenues from other activities not attributable to the generation and transmission segments are recorded by Eletrobras in the Administration segment and include, mainly, telecommunications companies that use part of our infrastructure to assemble telecommunications lines. Eletrobras' revenues may also come from the provision of engineering services related to third-party generation and transmission works or energy efficiency.

Financial Revenues

Financial revenues come from the remuneration that Eletrobras receives from investments in financial instruments, as well as from the interest, commissions and fees obtained as a result of the loans it grants in accordance with the provisions of Brazilian law, which allows the Company to act as a financier of its subsidiaries that provide public services. They also reflect the revenues from the late payment on electricity paid to Eletrobras, as well as the impact of monetary adjustments and other financial revenues.

Monetary and Exchange Revenues (Expenses)

 


Monetary and exchange revenues (expenses) refer mainly to the impacts of the Selic and IPCA variation and transactions in foreign currency, especially US dollars.

ii. Factors that materially affected the results of operations

The Company's operating results were materially affected:

(i) by macroeconomic conditions in Brazil with inflation and interest rates and in the international market in general;
(ii) the hydrological conditions of the National Interconnected System (NIS) and submarkets in which the Company's hydroelectric plants are located (Southeast/Midwest submarket);
(iii) by the level of the reservoirs and hydrological risk;
(iv) exposure to the short-term energy market to the DSP; and
(v) the results of judicial and other settlements.

Brazilian Macroeconomic and Sectoral Conditions

The country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) advanced in 2024 and ended the year with a growth of 3.4%, according to the IBGE.

Inflation, measured by the variation of the IPCA, ended 2024 at 4.83%. The biggest impacts on inflation in 2024 came from the group of food and beverages, which accumulated a rise of 7.69% in 12 months and contributed 1.63 percentage points to the IPCA for the year. In addition, the cumulative increases in the prices of the groups health and personal care (6.09%) and transportation (3.30%) also had significant impacts (of 0.81 p.p. and 0.69 p.p., respectively) on the year’s IPCA. Together, these three groups accounted for about 65% of 2024 inflation.

Provision for Judicial Contingencies of Compulsory Loans

There is a significant judicial litigation involving Eletrobras, in which the largest number of lawsuits has the purpose of challenging the criteria for monetary adjustment of the book-entry credits of the Compulsory Loan on the consumption of electricity, determined by the legislation that governs the Compulsory Loan and applied by the Company, and the application of inflationary purges resulting from economic plans implemented in Brazil.

Eletrobras, within the scope of these processes, has recorded provisions regarding:

(i) the difference in principal resulting from the inflation adjustment criterion;
(ii) reflex remunerative interest; and
(iii) the application of default interest (substantially the SELIC rate, applied to principal, correction of interest paid and remunerative interest).

In 2024, a net reversal of constitution in the amount of BRL 1,453,036 thousand was recognized, making a provision stock of BRL 13,576,565 thousand, referring to the compulsory loan processes. For more information on the processes related to compulsory lending, see items 4.4 and 4.7 of this Reference Form.

Compulsory Loan – Judicial Settlements

 


The Company has been adopting measures to mitigate the risks involved and enable better planning of cash disbursements to optimize tax use through the execution of agreements. Since the last quarter of 2022, when negotiations began, Eletrobras has reduced provisions in the order of BRL 12,220,333 thousand, of which BRL 11,314,550 thousand through judicial settlements, assuming the commitment to pay approximately BRL 7,588,822 thousand, partly in cash and partly with assets (such as interests in affiliated companies), resulting, therefore, in savings for Eletrobras of approximately BRL 3,725,729 thousand in relation to the risk provisioned for these lawsuits. By 2024, Eletrobras has already paid the approved agreements, and is awaiting a court decision to ratify the Agreements and extinguish the respective lawsuits for payment of the balance of BRL 1,105,534 thousand.

Contractual Transmission Asset

The Company registers the right to the consideration originated by the construction of the transmission projects, within the scope of the concession contracts, under the heading Contractual Transmission Asset.

The movement of these assets, in the years ended in 2024 and 2023, is shown in the following table.

Table 2.2.1 – Movement of Contractual Transmission Assets (amounts in BRL thousands)

  2024 2023
Balance on January 01 61,212,338 61,052,210
Incorporation 1,049,923
Construction Recipe 4,161,735 2,960,792
Financial income 7,405,486 7,136,080
Regulatory Remeasurements - Transmission 6,129,771 (12,144)
Transfers 1,154 (21,778)
Amortization (11,522,828) (10,952,745)
Balance from December 31 67,387,656 61,212,338

The balance of the contractual assets represents the present value of the consideration that the Company becomes entitled to as it advances in the construction of the transmission assets. The discount rates applied at the beginning of each project are, on average, 6.55% per year for renewed contracts and 6.63% per year for tendered contracts.

The balances of the contracts are monetarily substantially adjusted by the IPCA, except for contracts 004/2004, 010/2005, 007/2005, 008/2005, 006/2005 and 034/2001, which are updated by the IGPM.

In July 2024, ANEEL published Ratifying Resolution No. 3,348/2024, which established the APRs for the 2024-2025 cycle.

Table 2.2.2 – Approved APR (values in BRL thousands)

Companies 2024/2025
Eletrobras 6,904,773
Chesf 5,208,677
Eletronorte 3,000,087
CGT Eletrosul 1,764,288
Triângulo Mineiro Transmissora S.A. 54,635
Vale do São Bartolomeu Transmissora de Energia S.A. 50,535
Total 16,982,995

In the third quarter of 2024, based on the release of the APR for the 2024-2025 cycle by ANEEL, the Company calculated the present value of the installments of the APRs related to the construction of the transmission projects, considering the remuneration rate of each concession contract, and compared it with the balance of the contractual assets. The difference between the recalculated present value and the book balance of the contractual asset, when it occurred, was recorded in counterpart to the Company's result.

 


Of the balance of the contractual assets of the transmission in 2024, the amount of BRL 32,870,307 thousand corresponds to the right to the consideration originated by BNES's non-depreciated infrastructure, when the concessions were renewed in 2012, under the terms of Provisional Measure No. 579/2012, converted into Law No. 12,783/2013. The flow approved by ANEEL for the receipt of APRs related to BNES is contained in ANEEL's Ratifying Resolutions No. 3,344/2024 and No. 3,348/2024.

Table 2.2.3 – Receipt of APRs related to BNES (amounts in BRL thousands)

Companies 2024-2025 Cycle
CGT Eletrosul 532,902.31
Chesf 2,942,810.36
Eletronorte 1,262,729.68
Eletrobras 4,480,081.42
Total 9,218,523.77

Impairment

The Company estimates the recoverable value of its fixed and intangible assets based on value in use, which is measured by the present value of the estimated future cash flow. The assumptions used consider the Company's Management's best estimate of future trends in the electricity sector and are based on both external sources of information and historical data from the cash-generating units.

· Until fiscal year 2023, the Company treated each of its electricity generation plants as UGC for the purposes of the impairment test. With the advancement of the Company's electricity trading process, consolidated in 2024, made possible by the renewal of concessions and the consequent de-quoting of hydroelectric plants, there was a gradual increase in the volume of uncontracted energy. In this way, the sale of energy began to be considered in blocks, generating cash inflows without individual identification to hydroelectric generation plants.
· Following APC 01 - Impairment, the Company started to consider, as of 2024, as UGC, the set of hydroelectric generation assets per subsidiary, as it represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, which are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or other groups of assets. For wind assets, the Company considers each farm as a UGC, mainly due to the operational sharing of assets in wind farms.

Below are the impairment positions in 2024.

Table 2.2.4 – Impairment Positions (values in BRL thousands)

  Generation Administration Total
Asset 1,175,713 1,175,713
Intangible 70,431 70,431
  1,175,713 70,431 1,246,144

b) changes in revenues attributable to changes in prices, exchange rates, inflation, changes in volumes and the introduction of new products and services

 


The deprecation of the real by 21.82% against the US dollar in 2024 negatively impacted Eletrobras' debts indexed to foreign currencies. The Company recorded a reduction in the exchange variation of BRL 198,725 thousand compared to 2023.

The Company has a financing agreement with KfW in U.S. dollars, without hedging. Until March 2023, there was foreign exchange exposure in other debts, but in April 2023, a hedge of the 2025 and 2030 bonds was carried out to protect against exchange rate variation, assuming a passive position in reais and the change in the value of the liability linked to the variable yield curve in reais (CDI). Currently, only the contract with KfW is not hedged.

Regarding the CDE's net monetary adjustments, related to the river basins and others in 2024, the Company presented a reduction of BRL 841,147 thousand, totaling R$ 2,670,918 thousand, compared to BRL 3,512,065 thousand in 2023.

c) impact of inflation, price variation of the main inputs and products, exchange rate and interest rate on Eletrobras' operating results and financial results, when relevant

Variations in the DSP influence the generation segment in the short-term market because they price the difference between contracted energy and actual energy consumption. When there is greater supply, with full reservoirs and high flow forecasts, the DSP tends to decrease. On the other hand, when there is a shortage of supply, the DSP tends to increase, as the opportunity cost of using the water stored in the reservoirs is also high.

The value of the DSP is expressed in reais per megawatt-hour (BRL/MWh) and its calculation is mainly influenced by: climatic and hydrological conditions, production cost of the plants, energy demand and availability of generation and transmission of the electric system.

Variations in the inflation rate influence the transmission segment due to most transmission contracts being corrected by the Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA). Contractual (financial) revenue is associated with the application of inflationary indices to the balances of the contract assets of each concession.

Exchange Rate Variations

The Company presented exposure between assets and liabilities indexed to foreign currency, especially to the U.S. dollar.

In September 2024, the Company contracted a derivative operation called Cross Currency Swap in the notional amount of BRL 4,229 million, with the objective of protecting the bonds issued in relation to exchange rate variation, with a fixed rate in dollars in the active leg and a variable rate in CDI in the passive leg.

Regarding the debenture issuances that took place in 2024, Eletrobras contracted a price ratio swap in the total notional amount of BRL 4,229 million with the purpose of generating protection for possible fluctuation in inflation, exchanging flow in IPCA for flows in CDI.

To cover risks related to commercial contracts, the company uses a forward contract (NDF - Non Deliverable Forward) to lock in project costs, with the execution of BRL 496 million in forward contracts in 2024.

In 2024, the Company made Credit Agreement 4131 loans, which are foreign currency loans granted abroad to a Brazilian company. The swaps used in this type of operation are called Cross Currency fixed float in the notional amount of BRL 1,493 million, with an exchange of flow from the active pole (exchange variation and SOFR rate) to the flow from the passive pole (CDI).

 


The Company has a Financial Hedging Policy whose objective is to monitor and mitigate exposure to market variables that impact assets and liabilities of Eletrobras and its subsidiaries, thus reducing the effects of undesirable fluctuations of these variables in its financial statements

Further details are available in section 5 of this Form.

Price variation of the main inputs and products

The energy purchased for resale was BRL 3,028,226 thousand in 2023 compared to BRL 5,068,123 thousand in 2024, representing an increase in expenses of 67.4%, due to the greater purchase of energy in the short-term market to meet the sales contracts in the FCE. In addition, the costs related to the termination of energy contracts, renegotiation of the hydrological risk of the Tucuruí HPP and new PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) of incentivized energy stand out.

EBITDA 26,236,679 17,019,826

c)                explain why it is considered that such measurement is more appropriate for the correct understanding of your financial condition and the result of your operations

EBITDA

EBITDA is used by management as an important indicator of operational performance, as it provides a good view of the potential gross generation of resources. Eletrobras' management believes that EBITDA is a practical measure that allows comparison with other companies in the same sector, except for the fact that other companies may calculate their EBITDAs differently.

Net Debt

Net Debt corresponds to the balance of Gross Debt, net of cash balances and cash equivalent, securities (current) and financing and loans (current and non-current).

The Company uses Net Debt to assess its financial position, and its degree of financial leverage, and to assist its managerial decisions related to the management of cash flow, investments and capital structure, as they aim to measure the Company's ability to pay in relation to its indebtedness to third parties, without the influence of tax effects, for instance.

 


Net Debt is not a recognized measure under BR GAAP or IFRS accounting practices, has no standard meaning and may not be comparable to Net Debt prepared by other companies.

Net Leverage

Net Leverage is a non-accounting measure prepared by the Company, and corresponds to the division between Net Debt and Total Equity. Net Leverage is not a recognized measure under BR GAAP or IFRS accounting practices, has no standard meaning and may not be comparable to Net Leverage prepared by other companies.

 


 

2.6. Events subsequent to the last financial statements at the end of the 2024 financial year

Net income may be capitalized, used to offset losses or retained, as provided for in the Brazilian Corporation Law, and may not be available for payment of dividends. Eletrobras may not pay dividends to its shareholders in a given fiscal year, if its managers manifest, and the general meeting so approves, that such payment is inadvisable in view of Eletrobras' financial situation, or even if the amount of the mandatory dividend, calculated under the terms of the Company's bylaws, exceeds the realized portion of the net income for the year.

c) new products and services, indicating: i. description of ongoing research already disclosed ii. Total amounts spent by the issuer on research for the development of new products or services iii. Projects under development already disclosed iv. Total amounts spent by the issuer on developing new products or services

In 2024, Eletrobras consolidated its integrated innovation model that enables the entire Company to generate value at scale with the implementation of technologies. The Company integrated efforts in all areas, engaging teams and promoting a unified vision that accelerates value creation, optimizing the use of resources and positioning itself as a reference in technology and innovation.

We have invested more than BRL 600 million in innovation and technology, consolidating our position as one of the leaders in the sector in investments in new technologies and innovative solutions. We prioritize essential issues for the company, such as: protection of people, the environment and equipment; monitoring of operations; asset digitization; weather forecasts; energy storage; green hydrogen; microgrids and hybrid plants; high-performance computing and; artificial intelligence (AI) at scale applied to critical processes.

Among the main initiatives, we highlight:

i) ATMOS, the Meteorological Monitoring and Intelligence Center, which enables the company to mitigate and manage possible impacts of meteorological events on its assets and operations;
ii) the largest hybridization project in the country, in Petrolina/PE, which integrates onshore and floating photovoltaic energy, wind with monitoring of asset conditions, high-concentration solar, intelligent energy storage and high computing capacity; and
iii) Eletro.ia, a program with the objective of structuring and training the company for the use of AI at scale that, in addition to 25 use cases in execution and implementation, also seeks to build a robust data foundation, develop capacity to build products at scale, and train Eletrobras professionals in analytics and AI topics.

These results are driven by Eletrobras' high competence in research and development (R&D) management. In 2024, we advanced in the execution of more than 40 R&D projects in the portfolio following ANEEL regulations, with the Electric Energy Research Center (CEPEL) as Eletrobras' main research and solutions arm in several areas, from the development of software for energy optimization, analysis of electrical networks, automation of electrical systems, asset management, renewable energy and sustainability.

Understanding the importance of engaging partners in Eletrobras' challenges, we continue to advance the Innovation Grid, our platform for connecting with the ecosystem for open innovation, structured in modules that range from the identification of new talents and the co-development of advanced technological solutions to the validation of concepts in the market. In 2024, the program gained even more robustness with the implementation of five innovation hubs, strategically distributed in all regions of Brazil – in partnership with ACATE, Porto Digital, Porto Maravalley, Hub Goiás and Guamá Science and Technology Park.

d) Opportunities included in the issuer's business plan related to ESG issues

Our vision reflects our commitment to society and the environment and guides us to always offer renewable and low-carbon infrastructure and solutions to our customers. Eletrobras' strategic plan includes proposals that aim to capture opportunities appropriate to the current context and its competitive differentials, bringing focus to our future aspiration. As a highlight, in 2024, we completed the sale of UTE Candiota III (350 MW), the only coal-fired asset, and signed an agreement for the sale of approximately 2.1 GW of thermal assets, which will contribute to achieving our goal of being net zero by 2030, in line with our Strategic Plan trajectory.

 


In addition, adequate social and environmental management is essential to the sustainable continuity of Eletrobras' operations, since our business depends on and directly impacts the environment and involves the relationship with local communities in the country, including indigenous peoples and traditional communities. Therefore, we remain attentive in reconciling our activities with the conservation of the environment and respect for people in all our operations and businesses and transactions, always considering high ethical standards, compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks and agreements to which Brazil and Eletrobras are signatories. In line with our environmental strategy, in 2024, we started the assessment of material impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities associated with nature in line with the guidelines of the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) and Target 15 of the Global Biodiversity Framework. We are also working on risk assessment and the preparation of adaptation plans for our generation and transmission assets aimed at the resilience and longevity of our business.

 


 

2.11.       Other factors with a material influence on operational performance and that have not been identified or commented on in the other items of this section

Corporate Advertising

In 2024, we carried out two nationwide advertising campaigns. The advertising campaign "Eletrobras - Energy that doesn´t stop" aimed to strengthen relevant attributes of the Company such as the leadership in the electricity market in Latin America and the recent entry of Eletrobras in the trading segment. Aired from August to December on Open and Closed TV, Internet and Urban Furniture, the commercials and digital pieces highlighted the generation and transmission of clean, safe and uninterrupted energy for the entire country. In a focus on potential customers, the messages reinforced our focus on understanding the needs of consumers and offering personalized energy solutions for each business profile. The campaign was shown about 160 million times to the audience of the digital channels chosen for the campaign, having reached more than 17 million users.

The Safety in the Power Grid campaign, carried out for the first time in an integrated manner between our companies, had the purpose of raising awareness among the population about the risks of improper and illegal practices near the transmission lines, such as burning and releasing kites and balloons. Broadcast from May to December 2024, with a presence on radio and internet, the campaign also addressed the themes "invasion of easement" and "vandalism", and had an unfolding in a special project with the communities: kite workshops. On the radio, the campaign reached more than 23 million people.

Sponsorship

In 2024, Eletrobras carried out sponsorship actions that linked the company's brand to sports, innovation, and customer relationship initiatives. More than BRL 46 million were invested in 66 projects, with emphasis on the "Web Summit Rio 2024", one of the largest innovation events in the world, in an edition held in Rio de Janeiro; support for "Porto Maravalley", an innovation hub in the city of Rio de Janeiro; and the "Museu Nacional Vive" project, to support the reconstruction of the museum after the fire suffered in 2018.

The Continuing Education for Educators project stands out, whose objective is to confront the culture of school failure, bringing measurable results in improving education and social development, benefiting 730 education professionals and 8,880 students from the 4th to the 6th grade.

The Eletrobras Volunteer Program, through Mentoring with Energy, impacted 100 young apprentices from the company and partner institutions, including young people with disabilities, in various regions of the country. 2 classes were held, totaling 850 meetings and totaling 1,300 hours of voluntary dedication. The objective of the action is to provide inputs and tools for young people in situations of social vulnerability to develop their professional action plans, contributing to their personal and professional growth. This action reinforces the company's commitment to respect for human rights, social inclusion and valuing people, aligning the values of volunteering with the values of Eletrobras.

Net Income for the fiscal year 10,378,122
(-) Legal Reserve (5%) 518,906
Net Income for the fiscal year adjusted for the constitution of the Legal Reserve 9,859,216

According to the Brazilian Corporate Law, 5% of the net income for the fiscal year will be applied before any other allocation, in the constitution of the legal reserve, which will not exceed 20% of the capital stock. In the fiscal year in which the balance of the legal reserve plus the amount of capital reserves, referred to in paragraph 1 of article 182 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, exceeds 30% of the capital stock, it will not be mandatory to allocate part of the net income for the fiscal year to the legal reserve.

9. If the company has preferred shares with the right to fixed or minimum dividends

a.        describe the method of calculating fixed or minimum dividends.

As provided for in the Company's Bylaws, shareholders are entitled to receive a mandatory dividend of 25% of net income for the fiscal year, adjusted under the terms of the Brazilian Corporate Law ("Minimum Dividend").

The Minimum Dividends will be distributed among the Company's shareholders under the following conditions:

(iii)             holders of class “A” and class “B” preferred shares shall also be entitled to participate, on equal terms with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share), in the distribution of dividends, after being ensured the lower of the minimum dividends provided for in items (i) and (ii) above, subject to the provisions of item (iv) below;

 


(iv)            holders of Class “A” and Class “B” preferred shares shall also be guaranteed the right to receive a dividend, per share, at least 10% higher than the dividends attributed to each common share.

b.       inform whether the net income for the fiscal year is sufficient for the full payment of fixed or minimum dividends.

The net income for the fiscal year is sufficient for the full payment of dividends.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a net income of R$10,378 million was reported, which, after the deduction for the legal reserve (R$519 million), resulted in an adjusted net income of R$9,859 million.

Thus, in accordance with the legal and statutory provisions regarding mandatory dividends, the portion corresponding to 25% of the adjusted net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, amounting to R$2,465 million, will be distributed to the Company's shareholders, including the portion to be allocated to the holders of class "A", "B", and special (golden share) preferred shares.

SCHEDULE 12

Section 8 of the Company's Reference Form (detailed information on remuneration of officers and members of advisory committees)

 

8.1       Describe the compensation policy or practice of the board of directors Executive Board and non- Executive Board, fiscal council, statutory committees and audit, risk, financial and compensation committees.

a.       aims of the compensation policy or practice, informing whether the compensation policy has been formally approved, the approving authority, the approval date of approval and, if the issuer discloses the policy, locations on the World Wide Web where the document may be reviwed.

Currently, the Company´s managers compensation model ("Compensation Model") consists of fixed compensation, benefits, and short and long-term incentive mechanisms, with the distribution of weights primarily focused on a sustainable long-term value vision, to solidify of a high-performance, ethical, and sustainable culture, capable of attracting, retaining, and rewarding talent, as well as ensuring full alignment between the interests of the Company´s managers (in addition to other beneficiaries of the Model) and its shareholders, as it:

(i) enables the Company to retain current key professionals and attract new talents, as well as to foster a high-performance culture, by granting long-term incentives conditioned on meeting pre-established conditions, goals, and triggers in line with the Company's Strategic Plan, serving as a driving force for unlocking the value levers of capitalization;

(ii) enables managers (and other beneficiaries) to directly associate their performance and the capture of a portion of the value related to the appreciation of the Company's shares relative to the exercise price defined in the Stock Option Plan. This price cannot be lower than BRL 42.00 (forty-two Brazilian Real) per share, adjusted by the IPCA since June 10, 2022 (date of the capitalization that resulted in the Company´s privatization) until the effective exercise of the options. The Board of Directors may also add a spread to the exercise price. Moreover, the exercise price of the options, set in the grant contract, cannot be lower than volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Company's common shares (ELET3) in the 90 trading sessions prior to the granting of the options to each beneficiary;

(iii) fosters an ethical high-performance culture, focused on exceeding goals, maximizing long-term value generation capacity, and sharing this value with long-term investors.

This management believes that achieving the desired levels of asset and business management requires, above all, the pursuit of excellence in people management. Composing a highly qualified, collaborative, integral, and high-performance executive team is an indispensable prerequisite for the Company to successfully continue its journey towards excellence and a high-performance culture.

The current Compensation Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on November 24, 2023, and is part of a set of initiatives designed to provide continuous maturation of Eletrobras' corporate governance, marked by its capitalization and privatization process carried out in 2022 and is based on the principles of transparency and responsibility.

The Compensation Policy is available for reviwed on the Company´s investor relations website (https://ri.eletrobras.com) and on the CVM website (www.cvm.gov.br).

For more information on the Company's Stock Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan, see items 8.4 and following below.

b.       practices and procedures adopted by the board of directors to define the individual compensation of the board of directors and the Executive Board, indicating: i. the issuer's bodies and committees that participate in the decision-making process, identifying how they participate; ii. criteria and methodology used to set individual compensation, indicating whether market practice studies are used, and if so, the comparison criteria and the scope of these studies; iii. how often and how the board of directors evaluates the adequacy of the issuer's compensation policy.

 


The global or individual compensation of the Board of Directors and Executive Board is annually set by the General Meeting. In the case of setting global compensation by the General Meeting, it is up to the Board of Directors to decide on its individual distribution to the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Board, following the recommendation of the Company's People Committee.

The process of defining compensation is calculated based on market practices and in line with the guidelines and challenges of the Company. Furthermore, the Company's management compensation plan also considers parameters such as responsibility, time dedicated to the role, competence and reputation of the managers, and the level of challenges required. To this end, the Company regularly conducts market surveys for verification and monitoring of market practices, and uses as comparison criteria the compensation model of Brazilian market companies of similar size, values, and challenges to the Company, especially with companies that have undergone or are in a similar stage of transformation.

Annually in an ordinary manner, and extraordinarily if necessary, the adherence to what is practiced to the Compensation Model is verified. For this, the Company relied on the support of Korn Ferry, a consultancy with recognized expertise and international renown to update, this year, market practices, as well as the reference market selected for the development of the Model in 2022.

In this regard, concerning the Executive Board, the salary survey conducted by the aforementioned Consultancy identified the need to update the salary table implemented in 2022. Therefore, it is proposed up to 4.83% (IPCA in the period) as a level of increase in fixed compensation is proposed, to be used for salary progressions that occur through performance evaluation based on goals (derived from the ICP Program) and behaviors (derived from the Company's values).

And in the case of the Board of Directors, also according to market research carried out by Korn Ferry, and in view of the finalization of the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) of the collegiate, it was identified the need to have the possibility of recomposing the fixed compensation of the Directors, in order to maintain the attractiveness for the position in the face of the complexity and challenges existing in the Company. In addition, it is possible to observe that the average annual total compensation (fixed remuneration + LTI) approved for 2024 (BRL 1,468,858.68) is even higher than the average annual total remuneration (fixed remuneration + LTI) proposed for 2025 (BRL 1,420,314.09).

c.       composition of the compensation, indicating:

i. description of the various elements that constitute the compensation, including, in relation to each of them:

The managers may have different compensation components, conditions, and benefits, which will be established according to specifics related to dedicated time, technical knowledge, experience, tasks, participation in advisory committees, among other characteristics.

The global compensation of the managers may consist of the following components:

(i) fixed compensation;

(ii) direct and indirect benefits;

(iii) variable compensation through (a) short-term incentives (STI); and (b) long-term incentives (LTI).

In line with the Compensation Model adopted by the Company, the management's compensation will be allocated among the components described above as follows: (a) 20% to 30% allocated as fixed compensation; (b) 25% to 30% for STI; and (c) 50% to 40% for LTI.

 


Executive Board

Salary or pro-labore: members of the Statutory Board of Eletrobras are entitled to a fixed monthly compensation as direct retribution for performing their role.

 

Direct and Indirect Benefits: include life insurance and health care, also granted with the aim of directly compensating the members for the exercise of their role.
Short-Term Incentive (STI): paid through cash bonuses. The STI is based on the achievement of the Company's results, with specific indicators derived from the Company's Strategic Plan. Thus, it aims to align the interests of the Statutory Board with the growth and increased profitability of the Company.
Long-Term Incentive (LTI): through the Stock Option Compensation Plan and the Restricted Stock Compensation Plan. The conditions, requirements, rules, and limits of the Stock Option Compensation Plan and the Restricted Stock Plan were approved at the EGM in December 2022, with amendments approved at the OEGM in 2024.
Post-Employment Benefits: Company contributions to supplementary pension plans.

 

Board of Directors

Annual Fixed Compensation: fixed monthly remuneration as direct compensation for the exercise of the function. It should also be noted that the executives who are exceptionally holding the position of a member of the Board of Directors and a member of the Company's committees do not receive any fixed remuneration associated with their roles in these positions.
Long-Term Incentive (LTI): For 2025, there is no proposal for a new grant of shares restricted to Board Members, a possibility that was closed in March 2023. In addition, the amounts related to the shares have already been appropriated at the 2023 and 2024 Meetings, given that in April 2025 the Directors who fulfill the term of office will be entitled to the transfers of shares in 2028, and thus, there will no longer be LTI values in the 2025 Compensation Proposal. In any case, regarding the Restricted Action Plan for Directors who serve until April 2025, we highlight important points:
Unlike the transfer of shares in batches provided for beneficiaries part of the Executive Board, the transfer of ownership of shares to Board Members will occur in a single batch, only in 2028, provided the exercise conditions stipulated in the Restricted Stock Plan and the respective grant agreements are met. The three-year period counted from the end of the term of the Board Member (to end at the OGM of 2025) was foreseen as an additional governance measure and risk mitigation to eliminate potential conflicts of interest that Board Members might have in managing the Restricted Stock Plan.
The Restricted Stock Plan for Board Members was adopted based on the 'Deferred Share Units' model, recognized as a good governance practice in international markets. The objective is to strengthen the long-term vision and value generation for shareholders by linking the administrators' gains to the Company's performance starting in 2028. Thus, decisions made until the end of the current term (OGM 2025) that do not prioritize long-term results may result in significant losses in the LTI.
Due to such separation, Board members, in line with best market practices, are entitled to Restricted Shares only according to the global value approved by the general assembly.
Board members will have the competence to define goals, triggers, and challenges that will compose the stock option programs within the Stock Option Plan and restricted shares within the Restricted Stock Plan for other beneficiaries who are not Board members. Therefore, it is intended that rigorous metrics and financial and/or operational triggers be defined, with the exercise of options only occurring if such results are met, reinforcing the culture of long-term performance payment.

 


Fiscal Council

The Company does not have a permanent Fiscal Council.

•             Annual Fixed Compensation: When the Fiscal Council is installed, the annual fixed compensation of the Fiscal Council members will be set by the Assembly that installs it, observed, for each member of the Fiscal Council in office, the minimum of one-tenth of the average monthly individual fixed compensation of the members of the Statutory Board, excluding values related to holiday bonus, direct and indirect benefits, representation allowances, and profit-sharing granted to said members of the Executive Board.

Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors

Compensation for Participation in Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors: Only external members of the Advisory Committees will be entitled to fixed monthly compensation for their participation in each of the Committees, in order to directly compensate the members for the time and efforts dedicated to such a role.

● calculation methodology and adjustment

The fixed compensation levels for the Executive Board are positioned at the P50 (50th percentile) of the market, and considering the adoption of variable compensation through short- and long-term incentives based on the Company's goals, triggers, and challenges, the total compensation package was defined between P75 and P90 (between the 75th and 90th percentiles).

There isn't a single calculation and adjustment methodology, but a verification and monitoring, through market surveys, of the Company's levels against market practices of similarly sized and sector companies.

● main performance indicators considered, including, if applicable, indicators related to ESG issues

The P50 (50th percentile) of the market will be used, and additionally, by incorporating short- and long-term compensation, the total compensation package was defined between P75 and P90 (between the 75th and 90th percentiles). Therefore, the total package between P75 and P90 will only be achieved if performance is proportional and directed towards P75 and P90 of the market.

 


Short- and long-term incentives will be based on goals such as profitability, sustainability, excellence, and/or long-term value generation, as well as the Company's established triggers and challenges in line with its Strategic Plan, so that, if met, and depending on the degree of fulfillment, there will be corresponding compensation.

Thus, short- and long-term incentives reflect, while supporting, the Company's Strategic Plan, which is oriented towards capturing opportunities suitable to the context and the competitive advantages of Eletrobras, guided by the reformulated vision: "To be the most comprehensive complete of renewable energy infrastructure and solutions for customers, maximizing value for shareholders sustainably, through organizational excellence and efficient capital allocation."

In the Company's Strategic Plan, four guidelines were created to guide this long-term vision:

1. Customer Focus - To be the most comprehensive platform of renewable energy infrastructure and solutions for customers, anticipating needs, offering products, and orchestrating businesses;
2. Capital Allocation - Maximize the company's value generation by directing efforts to meet the system and customer needs, maintaining financial discipline, and considering opportunities for share buybacks and issuances
3. Organizational Excellence - To be a functional organization with alignment between strategy, processes, structures, people, and incentives, ensuring efficiency, being capable of achieving defined goals, and thriving in constantly changing environments.

All these guidelines have the primary objective of Value Creation through maximizing value generation for shareholders, employees, and customers, contributing assertively to the improvement of the country's business environment (regulation and sector policies).

 

The Strategic Plan also addresses the following cross-cutting themes:

 

Climate Management,
Health and Safety,
Maximization of Results,
Risk Minimization,
Operational and Financial Efficiency,
Efficient Resource Allocation.
Cultural Change, focusing on Value Creation, leveraging Capital Allocation Opportunities, and Risk Reduction.

To measure the achievement of the strategy, indicators with targets for 2024 were chosen, as follows, where it is possible to observe that 30% of the strategic indicators (top) are ESG:

Health and Safety: Accident Frequency Rate and Lives Changed (deflator - fatalities and permanent disability of own and third-party employees);
Value Generation: NPV of new businesses;
Commercialization: Commercialization of the 25/29 cycle;
Efficient Costs: Recurring PMSO Costs;
Execution of Contracted Capex: Unleveraged IRR of Projects;
Contingency Negotiation: Amount negotiated for legal liabilities;

 


ESG: ESG Roadmap;
Management: Organizational and Nuclear Transformation.

Therefore, the Bonus Program (STI) will support the Company's short-term ambition as outlined in the Strategic Plan, so that each of the previously mentioned indicator will have a defined and quantified goal, with weights varying according to the performance of each Officer.

In turn, the Stock Option Program (LTI) will support the Company's medium and long-term ambition outlined in the Strategic Plan, where the selected indicator(s) set in the contract have a defined and quantified goal.

The targets pertain to the Company's competitive intelligence, which is why they are not disclosed. In any case, one of the "triggers" for the payment of the Stock Option Plan is the "Total Shareholder Return" indicator.

ii.       Reasons justifying the composition of the compensation

The main purpose of the remuneration model applicable to the Company is is to promote the alignment of the Executive Board' interests with the interests of the Company's shareholders, as well as to enable the attraction and retention of talent, to the extent that the potential gains and risks of the Company's performance will be shared. This will particularly contribute to the development of a high-performance professional culture and to decision-making that prioritizes long-term results, surpassing goals, creating value, and ensuring the sustainable growth of the Company.

To this end, the composition of Eletrobras Executive Board' compensation is set using parameters such as responsibility, time dedicated to the role, competence and reputation of the Officers, the levels of challenges required, and comparison with similarly sized companies, especially with companies that have gone through or are in a similar stage of transformation.

iii.       The existence of members not compensated by the issuer and the reason for this fact

Not applicable.

d. the existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, controlled or direct or indirect controllers

Not applicable. There is no compensation or benefit for the members of the Board of Directors, the Fiscal Council, the Executive Board, and the Advisory Committees supported by subsidiaries or controlled entities, and the Company has no direct or indirect controllers.

If there is compensation received in a subsidiary/controlled entity, by indication of Eletrobras or in its interest, such values will be deducted from the annual compensation of the officer received in the Company.

e. the existence of any compensation or benefit linked to the occurrence of a particular corporate event, such as the sale of the issuer's controlling interest

Not applicable.

¹ Regarding the forecast for the fiscal year of 2025, the “share-based compensation” field considers (i) the 4th transfer to the Statutory Management under the Restricted Shares Plan; (ii) also under the Restricted Shares Plan, there is no longer any appropriation of value for the Board of Directors, the 2nd half of the value having been appropriated in 2024; and (iii) the estimate of 1/5 of the value of the Stock Option Plan applicable to the Statutory Management (3rd year of the Program). Note: In the case of the Restricted Shares for the Board of Directors, the grant took place in 2023, but the transfer of ownership of the shares will only take place in 2028; likewise, in the case of the Stock Options for the Statutory Management, the grant took place in 2023, but the exercise of the options will take place in at least 3 years, and there are two other vesting milestones with terms of 4 years and 5 years; Therefore, there is no receipt of Restricted Shares by the Board of Directors and Stock Options by the Executive Board in 2025, but rather the recognition of the expense in the period.

8.4       Regarding the share-based compensation plan for the board of directors and statutory management, in effect during the last fiscal year and planned for the current fiscal year, please describe:

a) General terms and conditions

 

Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan was implemented by the Board of Directors with the approval of the Stock Option Program. The beneficiaries and the terms and conditions of the grants are defined by the Board of Directors or, by delegation, by a Company Committee. The grant is formalized by contract, guaranteeing the beneficiary the right to exercise the Options to acquire ordinary shares at a determined price and period, according to criteria approved by the Board of Directors.

Beneficiaries of the Stock Option Plan may be managers (except members of the Board of Directors), employees, collaborators or service providers of the Company or its subsidiaries, provided that they are selected by the Board of Directors, with the recommendation of the People Committee or another Committee appointed for this purpose.

The Stock Option Plan stipulates that the Options will be granted in batches, with a minimum term of maturity of 3 years for one third, 4 years for another third and 5 years for the remainder, when they can be exercised by the beneficiaries.

The costs of the Stock Option Plan related to managers, fiscal advisors or committee members will be part of their remuneration and will depend on the approval of the General Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with current legislation.

For Beneficiaries who were granted Call Options during the fiscal year of 2023, the Board of Directors may define a starting point for the maturity term prior to the date of the respective Grant Agreement, provided that it is later than the Beneficiary's investiture or admission and not earlier than June 1, 2023. The maximum period for exercising the Options will be 120 days from the date on which they become exercisable, i.e. after expiry of the maturity term. After exercising and receiving the shares, the Beneficiary will be prevented from selling them for 180 days (Lock-up Period).

Restricted Share Plan

The Restricted Shares Plan was implemented by the Board of Directors with the approval of the Restricted Share-Based Compensation Program (“Restricted Share Program”). The period for granting these shares ended on March 31, 2023.

The selection of the beneficiaries and the definition of the terms of the grant were carried out by the Board of Directors or, as its delegation, by a Committee of the Company. Grant agreements were signed with the elected beneficiaries, establishing the beneficiary's right to receive a number of Restricted Shares over a given period, in accordance with the terms and conditions to be defined by the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the rules set out in the Restricted Shares Plan.

The Restricted Shares Plan is intended for managers, employees, collaborators, service providers or their subsidiaries, provided that they are selected by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed for this purpose. Unlike the Stock Option Plan, the Restricted Shares Plan includes members of the Board of Directors among its beneficiaries.

Except in the case of a beneficiary who is a member of the Board of Directors, the Restricted Shares are divided into 5 lots. In the case of a member of the Board of Directors, ownership of the Restricted Shares will be transferred to the beneficiary in a single lot on April 30, 2028.

The Board of Directors may adjust the number of Restricted Shares granted to reflect the economic effects of distributions of dividends, interest on equity or other income from the date of grant until the date of delivery of the Restricted Shares.

b) date of approval and responsible body

Both plans were approved on December 22, 2022, and amendments were approved at the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of 2024.

 


c) maximum number of covered shares

Stock Option Plan

The maximum number of shares to be granted by the Beneficiaries may not exceed the limit of 1.1% of the Company's total share capital on November 21, 2022.

For this calculation, all the shares corresponding to the options exercised or exercisable by the Beneficiaries are considered, regardless of the settlement model of this option. Shares associated with options that have been canceled, lapsed, expired or expired for any reason will not be included in this limit and may be made available again for future grants, in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.

Restricted Shares Plan

It may not exceed the limit of 0.2% of the Company's total share capital on the date of its approval, also observing the maximum term of March 31, 2023 for the signing of Restricted Share Grant Agreements.

d) maximum number of options to be granted

Stock Option Plan

The maximum number of options granted to the beneficiaries of the Stock Option Plan may not exceed 1.1% of the Company's total share capital on November 22, 2022.

Restricted Shares Plan

Not applicable. The Restricted Shares Plan does not provide for the granting of options.

e) conditions for share acquisition

Stock Option Plan

The Options granted will be divided into at least 3 lots. Beneficiaries may exercise them and acquire the corresponding shares, provided that they comply with the conditions established in the Stock Option Program and in the grant agreements.

In addition to the maturity terms indicated in item 8.4 (a) above, during which the beneficiary must continue to hold their respective position in the Company, the implementation of individual and/or collective conditions and targets will also be vesting conditions. Currently, the targets to be achieved are linked to certain total shareholder return parameters.

The Board of Directors may set the initial milestone for calculating the respective maturity terms of batches of Options for beneficiaries whose grant has been approved during the fiscal year of 2023, on a date prior to the date on which the respective grant agreement is signed.

Restricted Shares Plan

The Restricted Shares were divided into: (i) a single lot for the members of the Board of Directors, to be delivered on April 30, 2028; and (ii) five (5) lots for the other beneficiaries, to be delivered on March 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027.

The Restricted Shares of each lot will be transferred to the beneficiary if he/she remains in his/her position on the respective delivery dates.

For members of the Board of Directors, the receipt of Restricted Shares requires the full and uninterrupted fulfillment of the term until the 2025 Ordinary Shareholders Meeting (end of term), except in the event of death or incapacity for permanent cause.

All Restricted Shares will be delivered on April 30, 2028, 3 years after the end of the term of office of the directors elected by the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 5, 2022.

f) criteria for setting the acquisition or exercise price

Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan establishes a minimum exercise price per share of BRL 42.00, which corresponds to the price practiced in the Company's capital increase within the scope of the public offering of shares concluded on June 10, 2022 and may not be less than BRL 42.00 (to be monetarily adjusted by the IPCA/IBGE variation from June 10, 2022 until the date of exercise of the Options).

The exercise price may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors:

 


· to be increased by a spread. In the first grants approved in 2023, the exercise price was established based on the minimum price, updated by the IPCA/IBGE variation and plus a pre-fixed interest rate of 5% p.y. (“Spread”); and
· to be adjusted by dividends, interest on equity payments, or earnings distributed by the Company in the period between the grant date and the exercise date of the options, as provided for in the respective contracts.

The exercise price set forth in the contract cannot be lower than the average price of the Company's shares (ELET3) in the 90 trading sessions prior to the granting of the Options, calculated based on the closing price and weighted by the trading volume. This way, there will be no discount, ensuring alignment with the shareholders who supported the privatization of Eletrobras.

Restricted Shares Plan

Not applicable. Once the conditions of the grant agreements have been met, the Restricted Shares will be transferred to the beneficiary free of charge, without any requirement to pay an exercise price.

g) criteria for setting the acquisition or exercise period

Stock Option Plan

The term for exercising the options will be 120 days after the end of the maturity term and may be extended by the Board of Directors in the event of a period of prohibition on trading in the Company's shares, in accordance with Eletrobras' Securities Trading Policy.

Restricted Shares Plan

The delivery will be divided into equal parts in the following time frames (except in the case of members of the Board of Directors): March 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2027.

For beneficiaries who are members of the Board of Directors and meet the conditions for receipt, the transfer of all the Restricted Shares will take place on April 30, 2028.

h) settlement form

Stock Option Plan

The Options will be liquidated through the delivery of the Company's ordinary shares to the Beneficiaries, either through the issue of new shares or through the transfer of shares held in treasury.

Once the beneficiary has exercised the Options that are part of the lots vested, the Company may choose to liquidate said Options by delivering a quantity of shares calculated in accordance with the formula indicated below, so that no funds will be disbursed by the beneficiary:

Where:

j) Criteria and events that, when verified, will cause the suspension, alteration, or termination of the plan

Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan is valid for 3 years and may be terminated or modified at any time by decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting. As for the Stock Option Program, it will remain in force until all the Options granted have been exercised by the beneficiaries or until December 22, 2025, whichever comes first.

Extinguishment: In the event of the Company's bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the Stock Option Program and the respective granting agreements will be extinguished by full right, with the expiry of all the Options granted, regardless of whether the respective conditions for exercising the Options have been met, as well as the rights of the beneficiaries.

Restricted Shares Plan

It will remain in force until April 30, 2028, and may be extinguished and/or modified at any time by decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting. The hypotheses of extinction and revision are the same as those of the Option Program mentioned above.

The Board of Directors also adjusts the number of Restricted Shares granted, as mentioned in sub-item (a) above.

k) Effects of an administrator's departure from the issuer's bodies on their rights under the share-based compensation plan.

Stock Option Plan

If the Beneficiary resigns from the Company or its subsidiary, on his/her own or on the Company's initiative (due to poor professional performance identified in his/her appraisal or for any other reason), he/she will lose, as from the date of resignation, the right to exercise the Options comprising lots whose maturity terms have not been reached, as well as losing the right to receive the Restricted Shares with program delivery after the event. On the other hand, in relation to the Options that are part of vested lots, whose vesting conditions have been implemented up to the date of termination, the Beneficiary shall remain entitled to exercise such Options, as provided for in the Stock Option Program.

The Beneficiary who is dismissed as a result of (i) just cause under labor legislation, or (ii) in violation of legal or infra-legal rules, the Company's Bylaws, Code of Conduct and other internal rules of the Company, or the Stock Option Grant Agreement, shall lose any and all rights provided for in the respective grant agreement, including the right to exercise the Options that are part of vested lots, but not yet exercised.

The Board of Directors may establish criteria for the exercise of options in cases where the maturity term has not been reached but the beneficiary has achieved the respective targets and in cases of death, incapacity, or retirement.

In the event of the death or permanent incapacity of the beneficiary, the Options of the lot whose maturity term is immediately subsequent to the respective vacancy event may be exercised despite the failure to meet the maturity term, provided that the other conditions set forth in the contracts are implemented up to the maturity term of the respective lot. In this case, the beneficiary (or their successors) will be entitled to exercise a quantity of Options calculated proportionally (pro rata) to the fraction of the maturity term of the respective lot, in accordance with the rules set forth in the Stock Option Program.

 


Restricted Shares Plan

In the event of the death or permanent incapacity of the beneficiary member of the Board of Directors, the beneficiary (or their successors) will be entitled to receive, on April 30, 2028, an amount of Restricted Shares proportional to the period of the term fulfilled, from the date of execution of the grant agreement until the occurrence of the event. If the beneficiary also held a position on the Executive Board and has already received lots of Restricted Shares, these will be deducted from the total to be delivered.

Even if the beneficiary member of the Board of Directors has fulfilled his/her term, he/she will lose any right to the Restricted Shares if, before April 30, 2028: (i) is sentenced for crimes against public administration or violation of anti-corruption and money laundering laws; (ii) causes losses to the Company due to irregular management, as decided by the Shareholders' Meeting; or (iii) makes derogatory statements, reveals confidential information or distorts the image of the Company or its subsidiaries, including on social networks, as determined by the Board of Directors.

8.12       Summarized description of the information necessary to understand the data disclosed in items 8.5 to 8.11 - Method of pricing the value of shares and options, indicating:

a. pricing model

Under the Options Plan, the exercise price of the options was established at least BRL 42.00, which refers to the pricing of the public offering of shares and the capitalization process, while under the Restricted Stock Plan, the delivery of shares is made by the Company for no consideration, and there is therefore no exercise price.

The pricing model used in the Restricted Stock Plan and in the Options Plan was the Black & Scholes model, considering the general characteristics of the ILP plan.

b. data and assumptions used in the pricing model, including the weighted average share price, exercise price, expected volatility, option lifetime, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate

The pricing model of Black & Scholes, roughly speaking, uses 6 main assumptions to estimate the value of the call options granted, namely:

1. share price on the base date of the grant: was defined based on the closing price of Eletrobras (ELET3) on the base date of 02.28.2023.
2. exercise price: minimum amount of BRL 42.00, adjusted by the positive variation of the IPCA/IBGE, plus a pre-fixed interest rate (spread) of 5% between the date of the company's capital increase and the date of the exercise.
3. risk-free rate: future reference curve of the DI x Pre of B3, which considers the term structure of the interest rate.
4. expected volatility for the stock: annualized standard deviation of the daily returns of the shares of Eletrobras (ELET3) and other publicly traded companies operating in the Brazilian electricity sector.
5. Expectation of dividend distribution: this was not considered since the proposal foresees that the exercise price will be corrected by the distributions of dividends and JCSP which may have an impact on Eletrobras' future prices. and
6. term of the grant until the fiscal year: minimum term established in the Options Plan.

c. Method used and assumptions assumed to incorporate the expected effects of early exercise

Considering that Eletrobras is a publicly traded company, with daily quotations and that the option exercise window is a period of only 4 months, the Company considers, for the purposes of the Options Plan, the exercise price as the quotation price of the shares on the first day immediately after the vesting period of the share.

d. How to determine expected volatility

The expected volatility was estimated considering the annualized standard deviation of the daily returns of Eletrobras shares and other publicly traded companies in the Brazilian electricity sector. The time windows used in the volatility readings coincide with the periods in years between the grant and the expected maturity/exercise date.

 


e. whether any other characteristics of the option have been incorporated into the measurement of its fair value

The Stock Option-Based Compensation Plan provides that the exercise price will be adjusted for any dividend distributions.

¹For Compensation purposes, all compensation components applicable to directors and fiscal council members were considered. In the case of Restricted Shares to the Board of Directors, the transfer of ownership of the shares will only be transferred in 2028. In the case of Stock Options of the Board of Executive Board, they can only be exercised after at least 3 years from 2023, with two other vesting milestones at 4 and 5 years. Therefore, there is no receipt of the values of Restricted Shares by the Board of Directors and Stock Options by the Executive Board for the fiscal years of 2025, but rather, the recognition of the expense in the period.

8.16       Describe contractual arrangements, insurance policies or other instruments that structure remuneration or indemnification mechanisms for managers in the event of removal from office or retirement, indicating the financial consequences for the Company

With regard to remuneration or indemnity mechanisms in the event of dismissal from office, we hereby inform that, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, it is possible to pay monthly in an amount equivalent to a fixed remuneration, for a period of twelve (12) months from the termination of the contract, and it is certain that, in this case, there will be as a counterpart the application of the duty of non-competition by the executive.

Eletrobras does not have contractual arrangements, insurance policies or other instruments that structure compensation or indemnity mechanisms for managers in the event of dismissal or retirement.

According to the Bylaws, the Company ensures the defense of its managers in administrative and judicial proceedings, in addition to maintaining a permanent insurance contract in favor of its managers, with a view to protecting them from any liability for acts performed in the interest of the Company during the valid exercise – and without conflict of interest – of their position or function.

In this sense, Eletrobras has contracted a Civil Liability Insurance policy for Managers ("D&O"), with a premium in the total amount of BRL 13,470,991.59, and effective from 09/14/2024 to 03/15/2026. The D&O also extends coverage to all managers of the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and to the managers appointed by Eletrobras in its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

As an additional protection mechanism, the Bylaws expressly provide for the possibility for the Company to enter into indemnity agreements with its managers, as set forth in Eletrobras' Indemnity Policy. The maximum and global limit of indemnity as a result of the Indemnity Agreements in force is BRL 500 million, adjusted annually by the Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA), as of approval by the Board of Directors.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, all members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Executive Board and the Fiscal Council considered related parties had a relationship with the Federal Government, the Company's former controlling shareholder.

¹The transfer of shares to the Management will only take place in April 2028, while the maturity period for Call Options granted to the CEO and Vice Presidents is at least three, four and five years from the grants approved in 2023. Therefore, the amounts of such items are represented as appropriation of the expense in the period, and there is no receipt of the estimated amounts.

(b)             Any differences between the amounts in current Compensation Proposal and the previous compensation proposal and the information described in Section 8 of the Company's Reference Form (Formulário de Referência):

We present the table below to the stockholders, to demonstrate that the proposed amounts for the 2025 OEGM is based, with occasional refinements, on the levels/systems of fixed compensation, STI and LTI already approved by the stockholders:

Average Fixed Monthly Compensation of the Statutory Management (CEO and VPs) BRL 126,250.00 R$ 132,347.88

Market Update

of 4.83% (IPCA in the period)

The salary survey conducted by Korn Ferry identified the need to update the salary table implemented in 2022. Therefore, it is proposed up to 4.83% (IPCA in the period) as a level of increase in fixed compensation, to be used for salary progressions that occur through performance evaluation based on goals (arising from the STI Program) and behaviors (derived from the Company's amounts).

Short-Term Incentive (STI) – Bonus Program

Therefore, for the 2024 fiscal year, 1/5 of the amount, or BRL9,275,062, which refer to the 2nd year of the Program, and consider the beneficiaries who remain in the Company, will be appropriated at this AGM. Granted of 7,080,200 options (total amount for the 5 years), with an estimated total value of BRL46,375,310. Therefore, for the 2025 fiscal year, 1/5 of the amount, or BRL9,275,062, which refer to the 3rd year of the Program, and consider the beneficiaries who remain in the Company, and any new ones who join, will be appropriated at this AGM. Same System, and Same Quantity Predicted With the grants already made, 1/5 of the total value of the Program, or R$9,275,062, which refers to the 3rd year of the Program, will be appropriated for the 2025 OEGM.
Long-Term Incentive (LTP) – Restricted Action Plan Grant in Mar/23 of 810,428 restricted shares.

Recomposition of the

Total Compensation (Fixed Compensation + LTI), in order to maintain attractiveness in the position in the face of the Company's challenges and complexity.

According to market research carried out by Korn Ferry, and in view of the completion of the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) of the collegiate, it was identified the need to have the possibility of recomposing the fixed compensation of the Directors, in order to maintain the attractiveness for the position in the face of the complexity and challenges existing in the Company. In addition, it is possible to observe that the average annual total compensation (fixed remuneration + ILP) approved for 2024 (BRL 1,468,858.68) is even higher than the average annual total remuneration (fixed remuneration + LTI) proposed for 2025 (BRL 1,420,314.09).
Long-Term Incentive (ILP) – Restricted Action Plan¹ Considering the grant and carried out in Mar/2023 of 242,856 shares, there will be  a single transfer of the 242,856 shares on 04.30.2028, in the estimated amount of BRL 7,839,392¹ (maintaining a price of R$ 32.28 on 03.14.23). - There is no ILP for 2025, given that it is valid for Directors whose terms end in April 2025, and provided that the shares have been granted by March 2023. For the 2025 OGM, there is no longer appropriation of value to the Management, with the 2nd half of the amount being appropriated in 2024 and the 1st half in 2023, since by the end of the OGM period (March 2025), the time for compliance with the term of office (April 2025) will have been completed.
Fiscal Council Number of Remunerated Members Up to 5 Up to 5 Same quantity -
Fixed Monthly Remuneration of the Fiscal Council BRL12,625.00 BRL13,234.79 Same System If the Fiscal Council is installed, its compensation is calculated based on the legal premises (ten percent of the average monthly fixed remuneration of the members of the Board of Executive Officers)

Fixed Monthly Remuneration of

External Member of the Advisory Committees to the Board

BRL35,000.00 BRL50,000.00 for the Coordinator and BRL40,000.00 for the member Same level According to market research, a lag in the remuneration level of the external member was indicated. In addition, it is noted that there was a reduction in the number of members (3 in the approved 2024, and 2 in the 2025 proposal).

¹The transfer of shares to the Management will only take place in April 2028, and the maturity period for Call Options for the CEO and Vice Presidents has a maturity period of at least 3, 4 and 5 years. Therefore, in both cases, there is no receipt of the estimated amounts cited in the 2025 fiscal year, but the appropriation of the expense in the period.

Below, for comparison purposes and to continue with transparency to shareholders, we present a table that compares the overall amount approved at the 2024 OEGM with that proposed at the 2025 OGM, and presents the differences and comments of each of the components:

1In the case of Restricted Shares for the Management, the transfer of ownership of the shares will only occur in 2028; likewise, in the case of Stock Options of the Board of Executive Officers, the exercise of the options will occur at least 3 years after 2023, with two other vesting milestones reaching the terms of 4 years and 5 years. Therefore, there is no receipt of the amounts of Restricted Shares by the Management, and Stock Options by the Executive Board for the year 2025, but the recognition of the expense in the period.

 

Due to, among others, (i) the updating of the fixed compensation levels of the Executive Officers according to the market; (ii) the maintenance of the Short-Term Incentive (STI) and Long-Term Incentive (LTI) components of the Executive Officers; (iii) the inclusion of 1 additional board member compared to 2024 (iv) the end of the appropriation of the restricted shares of the Board of Directors, and therefore there is no longer an LTI proposed for 2025 (v) as a consequence of the previous item, the possibility of adjusting the fixed compensation of the Board of Directors, as a way to recompose the total compensation (fixed compensation + LTI) of the Directors and thus maintain attractiveness in the position in the face of the challenges and complexity of the Company, it is proposed to approve a global compensation amount equivalent to BRL 83,799,936.69 for the 2025 fiscal year, a level that is BRL 625,672.36 (0.8%) higher than that approved by shareholders in 2024.

Schedule 12 to Eletrobras' Management Proposal for the OEGM to be carried out contains information regarding the compensation of the Management, members of the Fiscal Council and members of the Advisory Committees to the Board, pursuant to Section 8 of the Company's Reference Form.

Article 4 - The capital stock is seventy billion, ninety-nine million, eight hundred and twenty-five thousand, six hundred and twenty reais and seventy-nine cents (BRL 70,099,825,620.79) divided into two billion, twenty-seven million, eleven thousand four hundred and ninety-eight (2,027,011,498) common shares, one hundred and forty-six thousand, nine hundred and twenty (146,920) class "A" preferred shares, two hundred and seventy-nine million, nine hundred and forty-one thousand, three hundred and ninety-three (279,941,393) preferred shares of class "B" and one (1) special class preferred share exclusively held by the Federal Government, all without par value. Article 4 - The capital stock is seventy billion, one hundred and thirty-five million, two hundred and one thousand, four hundred and five reais and twenty-seven cents (BRL 70,135,201,405.27) divided into two billion, twenty-eight million, five hundred and forty-four thousand, two hundred and eighty-six (2,028,544,286) one hundred and forty-six thousand, nine hundred and twenty (146,920) class "A" preferred shares, two hundred and seventy-nine million, nine hundred and forty-one thousand, three hundred and ninety-three (279,941,393) preferred shares of class "B" and one (1) special class preferred share exclusively held by the Federal Government, all without par value.

Capital Increase (item 1.7 of the Agenda of the EGM): In the event that the merger of Eletropar by Eletrobras is approved by the respective shareholders, there will be an increase in the value of Eletrobras' capital stock due to the absorption of the net assets of Eletropar by Eletrobras.

As a legal effect, the Eletrobras' capital stock will increase due to the Merger, with a corresponding increase in the number of common shares, observing the negotiated exchange ratio. Among other effects already explored in the Management's Proposal, the economic effect of the approval of the Merger, should it occur, will be the dilution of the current shareholders of Eletrobras.

 


 

Article 25 – Paragraph 5 – In the deliberations of the Board of Directors and resolutions of the Executive Board, the respective Chairmen will have, in addition to the personal vote, the tiebreaker.

Article 28 – Paragraph 5 –

In relation to the decision-making processes of the collegiate management bodies, the following tie-breaking criteria shall be observed:

I – in the decisions of the Board of Directors, the vote of the block containing the largest number of independent directors shall prevail and, if the tie persists, the vote of the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall also exercise the function of tie-breaker; and

II – in the decisions of the Executive Board, the Chairman of the Company, shall have, in addition to the personal vote, the tie-breaker.

Block 1 (item 2 of the Agenda of the EGM): Inclusion of a new wording for Paragraph 5 of the current Article 25, with a new numbering for Article 28.

The proposal establishes new tie-breaking rules for the Board of Directors, as a way to safeguard the premises of the privatization of Eletrobras and the corporation model. There are no economic effects arising from this.

 


 

Article 28 – Paragraph 2 – The Board of Directors shall be composed of at least six (6) independent members. Article 31 – Paragraph 2 – The Board of Directors shall be composed of at least five (5) independent members.

Block 3 (item 3 of the Agenda of the EGM): Amendment to Paragraph 2 of the current Article 28, with new numbering for Article 31, to reduce the minimum number of independent candidates from six (6) to five (5).

Proposal to adjust the minimum number of independent members, from six (6), equivalent to 60% (sixty percent), to five (5), corresponding to 50% (fifty percent), since the new threshold, in addition to being in line with the guidelines and best governance practices, is more reasonably adapted to the Company's needs in light of the more stringent independence criteria mentioned below and the new electoral context that may arise if the agenda of the EGM on Conciliation is approved, with no economic impact.

N/A

Article 31 – Paragraph 4 – Without prejudice to the independence provisions set forth by the CVM and the regulation of Novo Mercado, a member of the Board of Directors shall not be considered independent if they:

I – hold more than 10% (ten percent) of the total number of shares into which the voting capital of Eletrobras is divided; or

II – have a material relationship, management relationship or employment relationship, or equivalent, with a shareholder or group of shareholders that holds more than 10% (ten percent) of the total number of shares into which the voting capital of Eletrobras is divided.

Block 3 (item 3 of the Agenda of the EGM): Amendment to Paragraph 4 of the current Article 28, with a new numbering for Article 31, to include criteria for assessing the independence of members of the Board of Directors.

In line with good corporate governance practices, and also considering the level adopted in the legislation and in the Bylaws, the proposal includes the inclusion of two statutory criteria for loss of independence of members of the Board of Directors, with no economic impact.

 


 

Article 43 – The Fiscal Council, of non-permanent operation, when installed by the Shareholders' Meeting, in the form of the law, shall consist of three (3) to five (5) members and their respective alternates, elected by the Shareholders' Meeting, all resident in the Country, who shall hold their positions until the first annual Shareholders' Meeting to be held after their election, and may be reelected, subject to the requirements and impediments set forth in the legislation, in these Bylaws and, as applicable, in the Company's internal regulations that provide for indications of administrators and fiscal directors. Article 46 – The Fiscal Council, of permanent operation , shall consist of five (5) members and their respective alternates, elected by the Shareholders' Meeting, all resident in the Country, who shall hold their positions until the first annual Shareholders' Meeting to be held after their election, and may be reelected, subject to the requirements and impediments set forth in the legislation, in these Bylaws and, as applicable, in the Company's internal regulations that provide for indications of administrators and fiscal directors.

Block 3 (item 4 of the Agenda of the EGM): Amendment to the caput of the current Article 43, with new numbering for Article 46, to make the Fiscal Council a permanent body composed of five (5) members.

It is proposed to set the number of members of the Fiscal Council at five (5), aiming to simplify the voting process, ensure predictability and guarantee proportional representation of shareholders, as provided in the Settlement Agreement. There is no economic impact, as the Company currently has a Fiscal Council in place with 5 (five) remunerated members.

Note: Except for occasional renumbering of chapters, articles and/or items — as reflected in the consolidated version of the Bylaws — no other amendments are proposed to the current Bylaws in the context of this Administration's Proposal for the EGM. The renumbering mentioned above results from the Administration's Proposal for the EGM on Conciliation, available on the Company's websites (https://ri.eletrobras.com/), CVM (https://sistemas.cvm.gov.br/), and B3 (https://www.b3.com.br/en/).
