2.3. Clarifications on the agenda of the EGM:

OVERVIEW

In light of macroeconomic conditions and its strategic planning, the Company has been evaluating alternatives to maximize the creation of sustainable value for its shareholders, in a balanced and transparent manner and in line with best corporate governance practices, always considering the preservation of its investment capacity and its economic-financial soundness, consistent with a responsible and efficient approach to capital allocation and cash management.

In accordance with the Material Fact disclosed by the Company on this date, the proposal aims to allow the distribution of part or all of the Company’s profit reserves, which, as of September 30, 2025, amounted to R$39.9 billion.

The measure described herein consists of amending the Bylaws so that the Board of Directors is authorized and empowered to decide on the capitalization of the Company’s reserves through the issuance of bonus shares, in the form of a new class of preferred shares (the PNCs), to be granted free of charge to all shareholders in proportion to their respective ownership in the Company’s share capital (“Bonus Issue”).

Considering the specific features of the Bonus Issue, as further detailed in item 2.3.2 below, the Company has also evaluated alternatives to enable the payment, to the current holders of PNA and PNB preferred shares, of an additional cash amount, equivalent to 10% more than the value to be attributed to each share under the Bonus Issue, so as to replicate the same economic effect as the payment of increased dividends on PNA and PNB shares, pursuant to Article 11, paragraph 5 of the Bylaws (“Redemption Amount”).

To that end, management has structured a corporate transaction that involves the mandatory conversion of the currently outstanding PNA and PNB preferred shares, whereby each such share will be replaced by:

(i) one new preferred share of class “A1” (“PNA1”) or class “B1” (“PNB1”), respectively; and
(ii) one new preferred share of class “R”, which shall be immediately redeemed following its issuance, upon payment of the Redemption Amount (“PNR”).

 


The PNA1 and PNB1 shares will carry the same rights currently granted to PNA and PNB shares under the Bylaws, with the additional right to participate, on equal terms with the seller, in any tender offer resulting from a change of control (100% tag-along right). If approved at the Shareholders’ Meeting, this right will also be extended to the common shares and to the PNC shares, the latter in connection with the Bonus Issue and as further described in item 2.3.2 below.

As disclosed in the Material Fact released on this date, the Company has resumed studies with the aim of migrating, in 2026, to B3’s Novo Mercado listing segment. Accordingly, and consistent with the premise of keeping PNC shares structurally closer to the common shares — including by granting voting rights to ensure adherence to the “one share, one vote” principle — the introduction of the 100% tag-along right is also being proposed.

The Board of Directors will, in due course, resolve on a proposal to capitalize reserves under the authorized capital mechanism, for purposes of issuing and granting PNC shares free of charge to shareholders, as well as determine the Redemption Amount, in accordance with the parameters to be set forth in the Bylaws.

2.3.1. Items (a), (b), (c), (e) and (f) of the Agenda: Creation of the PNA1, PNB1 and PNR shares.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PNA1, PNB1 AND PNR

o PNA1

The PNA1 shares will have the same general rights and characteristics as the current PNA shares, namely:

· the absence of voting rights, not granting any political rights other than those mandatorily ensured by law to preferred shares
· equal treatment with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share) in the distribution of dividends and other Company proceeds, it being noted that PNA1 shares will be entitled to the lower of the minimum dividends set forth in paragraph 1 and subject to paragraph 5 of Article 11 of the Bylaws;
· priority in capital reimbursement;

 


· priority in dividend distribution, at the rate of 8% (eight percent) per year over the capital represented by such class and type of shares, to be distributed equally among them; and
· the right to receive dividends, per share, at least 10% (ten percent) higher than those attributed to each common share.

In addition to the characteristics described above, holders of PNA1 shares shall have the right to sell their shares in a public tender offer triggered by a sale of control (TOC), in order to ensure equal treatment to that afforded to the selling controlling shareholder (100% tag-along right).

o PNB1

The PNB1 shares will have the same general rights and characteristics as the current PNB shares, namely:

· the absence of voting rights, not granting any political rights other than those mandatorily ensured by law to preferred shares;
· priority in capital reimbursement;
· priority in dividend distribution, at the rate of 6% (six percent) per year over the capital represented by such class and type of shares, to be distributed equally among them;
· equal treatment with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share) in the distribution of dividends and other Company proceeds, it being noted that PNB1 shares will be entitled to the lower of the minimum dividends set forth in paragraph 2 and subject to paragraph 5 of Article 11 of the Bylaws; and
· the right to receive dividends, per share, at least 10% (ten percent) higher than those attributed to each common share.

In addition to the characteristics described above, holders of PNB1 shares shall have the right to sell their shares in a public tender offer triggered by a sale of control (TOC), in order to ensure equal treatment to that afforded to the selling controlling shareholder (100% tag-along right).

o PNR

The PNR shares will have the following general characteristics:

 


· the absence of voting rights, not granting any political rights other than those mandatorily ensured by law to preferred shares;
· priority in capital reimbursement;
· they shall not be entitled to participate in any public tender offer triggered by a sale of control;
· automatic and compulsory redemption of all PNR shares immediately after the Conversions, without the need for approval at a special meeting of preferred shareholders. The terms, conditions, timing and method of calculating the redemption amount shall be established by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the Bylaws;
· a strictly temporary and exceptional nature, solely for the benefit of all preferred shareholders; and
· automatic extinguishment of all PNR shares following the redemption of all such shares.

For further information regarding the PNA1, PNB1 and PNR shares, see Schedule 1, 2.1, 2.2 and 3 to this Proposal.

AUTOMATIC CONVERSION INTO PNA1, PNB1 AND PNR SHARES

The conversion of PNA and PNB shares into PNA1, PNB1 and PNR shares, as applicable, shall occur automatically, at a 1:2 ratio, as follows:

(i) for each 1 (one) PNA share,1 (one) PNA1 share and 1 (one) PNR share;
(ii) for each 1 (one) PNB share, 1 (one) PNB1 share and 1 (one) PNR share.

Under this structure, all PNA and PNB shares will be automatically converted following the approval of the creation of the new PNA1, PNB1 and PNR share classes, and will be allocated proportionally among all current preferred shareholders, ensuring that each participates in the conversion in proportion to their existing holdings in the original classes.

REDEMPTION OF ALL PNR SHARES

Immediately after the approval of the Conversions at the Shareholders’ Meeting, and as will be approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting to be convened in due course, all PNR shares shall be redeemed in full, compulsorily and automatically by the Company, with shareholders receiving payment of the applicable redemption amount per share, to be calculated objectively and determinably in accordance with the following formula:

VRPNR = (VC / TA) × 10%

 


where:

VC = the total amount to be capitalized through the bonus issue of PNC shares, as approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting that authorizes the capitalization of profits and the issuance of PNC shares;

TA = the total number of shares issued by the Company on the calculation date, including treasury shares and excluding PNR shares; and

VRPNR = Redemption Amount per PNR share, calculated to 13 decimal places.

Payment of the redemption amount shall be made in Brazilian currency, in a single installment, within the period to be established by the Board of Directors, subject to the Brazilian Corporations Law (LSA) and the Bylaws.

Once the redemption is approved—even if payment of the full redemption amount has not yet been completed—the PNR class shall be automatically extinguished, without the need for approval at a special meeting of preferred shareholders.

The purpose of the redemption of PNR shares is to ensure, in light of the specific context and mechanics of the Bonus Issue described in item 2.3.2 below, the same economic treatment currently afforded to holders of PNA and PNB shares, enabling the payment of the additional amount to which preferred shareholders would be entitled if the Company were distributing dividends, pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 11 of the Bylaws. Accordingly, the redemption amount corresponds to the additional 10% provided in favor of preferred shareholders in the event of dividend distributions.

The creation of PNA1, PNB1 and PNR shares does not require approval by the holders of PNA and PNB shares at a special meeting, nor does it trigger appraisal rights, as no share class or type will be adversely affected. The PNA1, PNB1 and PNR shares will be issued within the context of the Conversions, covering all preferred shares (classes “A” and “B”) of the Company on an equal and proportional basis.

For further details on this matter, see item 1(c) of Schedule 3 to this Proposal.

 


2.3.2. Item (d) of the Agenda.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PNCs

The PNCs will have the general characteristics summarized below and further detailed in the consolidated version of the Bylaws, as set forth in Schedules 1, 2.1 and 2.2, as well as the additional information provided in Schedule 3 to this Proposal:

· voting rights, granting each PNC one vote per share;

 

· equal treatment with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share) in the distribution of dividends and other shareholder distributions by the Company;

 

· priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium;

 

· issuance in the context of the Bonus Issue, with free and proportional delivery to all shareholders, without differentiated dilution or changes to the shareholder base;

 

· automatic and staged conversion into common shares, to occur annually until 2031, pursuant to a public schedule to be approved by the Board of Directors, including the minimum annual volume of PNCs to be converted, as set forth in the Bylaws, without prejudice to the Board of Directors approving, at any time and in any amount, an increase in the conversion volume;

 

· possibility of redemption of PNCs by resolution of the Board of Directors, without the need for approval at a general meeting or a special meeting of preferred shareholders, while ensuring that holders of PNCs may elect to convert, into common shares, their proportionate share of PNCs otherwise subject to redemption, within the period and on the terms established by the Board of Directors and duly disclosed by the Company, it being understood that the volume of PNCs effectively redeemed shall reduce, in the same proportion, the minimum annual volume of PNCs to be converted in the relevant year;

 


· conversion limits based on ownership concentration for shareholders who exceed 15% following the issuance of the PNCs: The conversion of class C preferred shares into common shares shall be subject to an individual limit of 15% of the outstanding voting share capital. If, on any conversion date, a shareholder or group of shareholders (as defined in Article 8 of the Bylaws) reaches or exceeds such percentage, only the number of Class C preferred shares necessary for such shareholder to hold, at most, 15% shall be converted, and all excess shares shall be compulsorily and automatically redeemed, applying the same redemption value criteria applicable to redemptions approved by the Board;

 

· conversion limits based on ownership concentration for shareholders already holding more than 15% on the issuance date of the PNCs: For shareholders or groups of shareholders who, on the issuance date of the Class C preferred shares, already hold more than 15% of the outstanding common shares, the individual conversion limit shall correspond to their Original Common Shareholding, defined as the percentage of common shares held on that date. Thus, on each conversion date, only the amount of class C preferred shares compatible with maintaining such Original Common Shareholding shall be converted, and any excess shall be compulsorily and automatically redeemed, applying the same redemption value criteria used for redemptions approved by the Board;

 

· right to be included in a tender offer (TO) triggered by a sale of control, ensuring 100% tag-along rights;

 

· strictly transitional and exceptional nature, implemented for the benefit of all shareholders in the Company’s current shareholder base; and

 

· automatic extinction of all PNCs following the conversion or redemption of all such shares, to occur by 2031 or earlier.

SCHEDULED AUTOMATIC CONVERSION

The conversion of class “C” preferred shares into common shares shall generally occur automatically, at a ratio of 1:1 (one class C preferred share for one common share), on dates to be defined by the Board of Directors, once per fiscal year, during the period from 2026 to 2031. Under this structure, in each of the fiscal years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, 4% of the total volume of class “C” preferred shares originally issued shall be automatically converted, distributed proportionally among all holders on the record date defined by the Board.

In the 2031 fiscal year, all remaining class “C” preferred shares shall be automatically converted.

The proportional distribution applied at each conversion ensures that all shareholders holding this class participate in the conversion in the same proportion as their ownership, considering the applicable record dates. It should be noted that the Board of Directors may, at any time, increase the volume of shares to be converted in any of the periods from 2026 to 2030, until the totality of the class “C” preferred shares has been converted into common shares or redeemed, subject to the other redemption triggers provided for in the Bylaws.

 


SCHEDULE FOR THE AUTOMATIC AND SCHEDULED CONVERSION OF PNC SHARES INTO COMMON SHARES

Year Outstanding Volume of PNCs Minimum conversion volume
2025 total PNCs (issuance date) -
2026 96% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2027 92% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2028 88% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2029 84% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2030 80% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2031 - 80% of PNCs

 

REDEMPTION BY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Independently of the scheduled conversion timeline, the Board of Directors may, at any time, resolve to redeem any volume of class “C” preferred shares. The redemption value per share shall correspond to the closing trading price of the Company’s common shares on the trading session immediately preceding the date of the redemption resolution.

Such redemption may be approved solely by the Board of Directors, without the need for approval at a general meeting or a special meeting of preferred shareholders. The Board’s resolution shall specify the redemption payment date. The redemption carried out in a given fiscal year shall proportionally reduce the minimum volume of shares to be converted in that year under the 4% rule set forth in the schedule; however, the Board shall retain the discretion to increase the conversion volume, as previously noted.

In the context of a redemption approved by the Board of Directors, each holder may elect, within the form and timeframe defined by the Board, to voluntarily convert (in whole or in part) the class “C” preferred shares that would otherwise be redeemed, in substitution for such redemption.

If the redemption is partial in relation to the total outstanding class “C” preferred shares, it shall occur on a pro rata basis among all holders, based on their positions on the record date established by the Board of Directors, with fractional shares disregarded. The adoption of a proportional partial redemption - rather than the drawing of lots provided for under the Brazilian Corporations Law - simplifies execution, eliminates randomness, and ensures equitable and non-discriminatory treatment, as it applies uniformly to all shareholders.

 

 


LIMIT ON CONVERSION AND AUTOMATIC AND COMPULSORY REDEMPTION DUE TO THE EXCEEDING OF CAPITAL CONCENTRATION LIMITS INVOLVING SHARES WITH VOTING RIGHTS

There are two additional cases of automatic and mandatory redemption, not dependent on any resolution of the Board of Directors, each designed to preserve the dispersion of voting shares, consistent with the corporation-style ownership structure that guided the Company’s capitalization process in 2022:

(i) If a shareholder or a group of shareholders, within the meaning of Article 8 of the Bylaws, holding Class C preferred shares, at any time comes to hold more than 15% of the total number of outstanding voting shares issued by the Company, then, at each conversion/redemption event, the portion of such holder’s Class C preferred shares that exceeds the 15% threshold shall not be converted into common shares and shall instead be compulsorily and automatically redeemed by the Company, using the same redemption-value criteria applicable to redemptions approved by the Board of Directors (i.e., the closing trading price of the Company’s common shares on the trading session immediately preceding the redemption resolution). In this specific scenario, (a) the holder may not exercise the option to convert in lieu of redemption, and (b) pro rata treatment does not apply, as the redemption exclusively targets the excess above the individual 15% concentration limit.

 

(ii) With respect to shareholders or groups of shareholders who, on the date of issuance of the Class C preferred shares, already hold more than 15% of the total number of outstanding common shares, an individual reference threshold is defined, referred to as the Original Common Shareholding Threshold. “Original Common Shareholding Threshold” means the percentage of outstanding common shares held by such shareholder or group of shareholders on the issuance date of the Class C preferred shares. For this subset of shareholders, their Class C preferred shares may not be converted into common shares if such conversion would increase their ownership of outstanding common shares beyond the Original Common Shareholding Threshold. Accordingly, at each scheduled conversion date or any additional conversion approved by the Board, only the number of Class C preferred shares consistent with maintaining such holder’s proportion at or below the Original Common Shareholding Threshold shall be converted. Any shares in excess of that proportion shall be automatically redeemed, on the same date, using the same redemption-value criteria described above. In this scenario, the redemption of the excess also occurs automatically, without the need for any Board resolution, and the holder cannot elect conversion in lieu of redemption.

 


In addition, because voting rights will be attributed to the class “C” preferred shares, the administration has proposed wording adjustments to Articles 9 and 10 of the Bylaws, so that the rules governing the public tender offer triggered upon the attainment of a relevant shareholding threshold (“Poison Pill”) encompass all voting shares issued by the Company, and not only the common shares.

The creation of the class “C” preferred shares does not require approval by the holders of class “A” or class “B” preferred shares at a special meeting, nor does it give rise to withdrawal rights, since no species or class of shares is adversely affected. The Class C preferred shares will be issued in the context of the Bonus Share Distribution, covering equally all outstanding common and preferred shares (classes “A” and “B”) issued by the Company. For further details, see item 1(c) of Schedule 3 to this Proposal.

2.3.3. Item (g) of the Agenda: Tag-Along Right for Common Shares

The Management proposes extending the tag-along right currently granted to holders of common shares by increasing, from 80% (eighty percent) to 100% (one hundred percent), the minimum price guaranteed to shareholders in the event of a sale of control. In line with market best practices, this proposal aims to ensure that common shareholders receive the same treatment afforded to the seller of control, as well as to harmonize the treatment of common and preferred shares with respect to tag-along rights. Accordingly, an amendment to Article 11 of the Bylaws is proposed.

It should be noted that the Company is structured under a corporation-style model, with bylaws provisions establishing poison pill rules intended to discourage the concentration of relevant voting shareholdings. Therefore, the effective implementation of the tag-along right would necessarily require, first, the triggering of the poison pill mechanism and the consequent original acquisition of control.

 

 


2.3.4. Item (h) of the Agenda: Increase in the Authorized Capital

Management proposes increasing the Company’s authorized capital limit from the current amount of R$ 100,000,000,000.00 to the new amount of R$ 130,000,000,000.00, so as to reflect the potential Bonus Share Distribution transaction while preserving the Company’s flexibility to approve future capital increases within the authorized capital limit—including through capitalization of reserves—without the need for another amendment to the Bylaws.

The increase in the authorized capital limit will be implemented through a corresponding amendment to the caput of Article 5 of the Bylaws, which shall reflect the new authorized capital amount.


2.3.5. Items (i) and (j) of the Agenda: Amendment and Consolidation of the Bylaws

Finally, in view of the matters set forth in items (a) through (h) of the Agenda, Management submits for approval the amendment of the Company’s Bylaws to enable the implementation of the Bonus Share Distribution and the Conversions, as well as the consolidation of the Company’s Bylaws, should such matters be approved, in order to reflect all corresponding changes, including renumbering adjustments, updates to defined terms, and cross-reference alignments applicable to the Bylaws provisions.

Pursuant to Article 12, item II, of RCVM 81, Schedule 1 to this Proposal contains a comparative chart of all proposed amendments to the Bylaws, including a report detailing the rationale for each change and an analysis of the associated legal and economic effects.

The consolidation of these amendments is reflected in the consolidated version of the Bylaws attached hereto as Schedule 2.1 and 2.2.

CURRENTLY EFFECTIVE BYLAWS

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO

SOCIAL STATUS

ORIGIN, JUSTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES
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) 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) common shares, one hundred and forty-six thousand, nine hundred and twenty (146,920) class "A1" 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 "B1" and one (1) special class preferred share exclusively held by the Federal Government, all without par value. Creation of New Classes of PNA1 and PNB1 Shares (items (a), (b), (e) and (i) of the Agenda): Amendment of the preferred shares that make up the Company's capital stock, considering the creation of class "A1" ("PNA1") and class "B1" ("PNB1") preferred shares and the subsequent conversion of the current class "A" ("PNA") and class "B" ("PNB") preferred shares,  in PNA1 and PNB1, respectively.
 


 

 

 

Article 4 - Paragraph 1 - The shares of Eletrobras shall be:

I   - common, in nominative form, with the right to one vote per share;

II   - classes “A” and “B” preferred, in the nominative form, without the right to vote at the Shareholders’ Meetings, except for legal cases; and

lll - 1 (one) special class preferred share, held exclusively by the Federal Government, without the right to vote at the Shareholders’ Meetings, except for the right of veto established in paragraph 3 of article 11 of these Bylaws.

 

Article 4 - Paragraph 1 - The shares of Eletrobras shall be:

I       common, in nominative form, with the right to one vote per share;

II       classes “A1” and “B1” preferred, in the nominative form, without the right to vote at the Shareholders’ Meetings, except for legal cases;

lll class “C” preferred, in nominative form, with the right to one vote per share.

IV       class “R” preferred, in nominative form, without the right to vote at the Shareholders’ Meetings, except for legal cases;

V 1 (one) special class preferred share, held exclusively by the Federal Government without the right to vote at the Shareholders’ Meetings, except for the right of veto established in paragraph 3 of article 11 of these Bylaws.

 

Creation of New Classes of PNA1, PNB1 PNC and PNR Shares (items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion, in the list of types and classes of shares of the Company, of the following new classes of preferred shares: (i) PNA1; (ii) PNB1; (iii) class "C" ("PNC"); and (iv) class "R" ("PNR"), all registered, book-entry and without par value.

 

In view of the macroeconomic scenarios and its strategic planning, the Company has been evaluating alternatives to maximize the generation of sustainable value for its shareholders, in a balanced, transparent manner and compatible with the best corporate governance practices, always considering the preservation of its investment capacity and its economic and financial balance, in line with responsible and efficient management of capital allocation and cash management.

In this context, the administration submits to the Assembly the approval of acts creating PNA1s, PNB1s, PNCs and PNRs, for the purposes of the Bonus and Conversions described below.

 

The proposed measure consists of amending the Bylaws, granting the Board of Directors the authorization and competence to decide on the capitalization of the Company's reserves through the issuance of bonus shares, through PNCs, which will be delivered free of charge to all shareholders in the relative proportion of their interest in the capital stock ("Bonus").

 

Thus, all shareholders – holders of Common Shares, PNAs and PNBs – will receive the same proportion of bonus shares, maintaining: (i) equality among shareholders; (ii) the structure of relative participation in the capital stock; and (iii) the proportion of economic rights before and after the Bonus.

 

PNCs: (i) do not create increased dividends; (ii) they do not establish a minimum right; (iii) they do not have cumulativeness; and (iv) do not change reimbursement priorities and, therefore, do not alter the balance between classes provided for in the Bylaws.

 

Also considering the specificities of the Bonus, the Company also evaluated alternatives to enable the payment, in local currency, of a complementary amount to the current holders of PNA and PNB shares, equivalent to 10% above the value attributed to each share in the context of the Bonus, in order to reproduce the same economic effect of a distribution of increased dividends, pursuant to article 11, paragraph 5, of the Bylaws ("Redemption Amount"). To this end, Management has structured a corporate transaction that provides for the mandatory conversion of the current PNA and PNB shares, through which each of these shares will be replaced by: (i) a new PNA1 or PNB1 share, as the case may be; and (ii) a new PNR share, which will be, immediately after its conversion, redeemed with the payment of the Redemption Amount.

 

PNA1 and PNB1 shares will have the same rights as PNAs and PNBs, as provided for in the Bylaws in force, plus the right to participate, on an equal footing basis ( 100% tag along right) in conditions to the seller of control.

 


 

Article 4 - Paragraph 4 - The voting rights of common shares at Shareholders’ Meetings shall be applied in compliance with the limits set forth in these Bylaws. Article 4 - Paragraph 4 - The voting rights of common shares and class “C” preferred shares at Shareholders’ Meetings shall be applied in compliance with the limits set forth in these Bylaws.

Right to vote of PNCs (items (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of PNCs in the list of shares with voting rights at General Meetings, ensuring them the same voting rights currently granted to common shares.

 

The mere attribution of voting rights to PNCs, considered in isolation, does not generate a relevant legal or economic impact, since such shares will be distributed proportionally through the bonus and, subsequently, converted into common shares, preserving proportionality and the balance of political power among shareholders.

No match Article 4 - Paragraph 5 - The class “R” preferred shares shall be compulsorily redeemed, shall be of a transitional nature, and shall be automatically extinguished upon the redemption of all such shares, pursuant to Article 11, paragraphs 14 through 17, of these Bylaws. Transitory Nature of PNRs (items (c), (f) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of a statutory provision to discipline the transitory nature of PNRs, establishing that this class will be compulsorily redeemed and automatically extinguished after the redemption of all their respective shares.
 


 

No match

Article 4 - Paragraph 6 - The class “C” preferred shares shall be automatically extinguished upon the conversion or redemption of all such shares pursuant to Article 11, paragraphs 7 through 12, to be carried out by 2031 or earlier, as provided in paragraph 8 of the same Article 11.

 

Transitory Nature of PNCs (items (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of a statutory provision to regulate the transitory nature of PNCs, establishing that this class will be automatically extinguished after the full conclusion of conversions or compulsory redemptions, as applicable, to be carried out by 2031.

 

PNCs: (i) will be fully converted or redeemed by 2031 (or earlier); (ii) they will not remain as a permanent class in the capital stock; (iii) do not change the governance structure in the long term; and (iv) the transitory nature of the PNCs prevents the creation of any permanent dynamic of competition between classes of shares.

 


 

Article 5 - Eletrobras is authorized to increase its capital up to the limit of one hundred billion Brazilian reais (BRL 100,000,000,000.00), by resolution of the Board of Directors, regardless of statutory reform, through the issuance of common shares.

 

Article 5 -  Eletrobras is authorized to increase its capital up to the limit of one hundred and thirty billion Brazilian reais (BRL 130,000,000,000.00), by resolution of the Board of Directors, regardless of statutory reform, through the issuance of common shares or, in the event of a capitalization of reserves with a stock bonus, through the issuance of common shares or class “C” preferred shares.

Increase in the Authorized Capital Limit and Permission for Increases through the Issuance of PNCs within this limit (items (h) and (i) of the Agenda): Increase in the Company's authorized capital limit, in order to consider the Company's potential bonus operation, without loss of flexibility for the Company to approve new capital increases within the authorized capital limit in the future, including through the capitalization of reserves, without the need for a new statutory reform.

 

There is no economic or legal impact resulting from the amendment now proposed.

 


 

Article 6 - Sole paragraph - If the preferred shares issued by Eletrobras confer voting Rights under the terms of article 111, paragraph 1, of Brazilian Corporations Law, the limitation contained in the caput of this article 6 will cover such preferred shares, so that all shares held by the shareholder or group of shareholders that confer voting rights in relation to a particular resolution (whether common or preferred) are considered for the purpose of calculating the number of votes according to the caput of this article. Article 6 - Sole paragraph - If the class “A1” and/or class “B1” preferred shares issued by Eletrobras confer voting Rights under the terms of article 111, paragraph 1, of Brazilian Corporations Law, the limitation contained in the caput of this article 6 will cover such preferred shares, so that all shares held by the shareholder or group of shareholders that confer voting rights in relation to a particular resolution (whether common or preferred) are considered for the purpose of calculating the number of votes according to the caput of this article.

Right to vote on PNA1 and PNB1 (items (a), (b) and (i) of the Agenda): Adjustment of the wording to clarify that PNA1 and PNB1 do not have voting rights and, if they acquire it in the future, the limitation provided for in the Bylaws will be fully applicable to them, differentiating them from PNCs, which are created with voting rights.

 

There is no economic or legal impact resulting from the amendment now proposed.

 


 

Article 9 - The shareholder or group of shareholders who, directly or indirectly, becomes the holder of common shares that, together, exceed thirty percent (30%) of the voting capital of Eletrobras and that does not return to a level below such percentage within one hundred and twenty (120) days shall make a public offer for the acquisition of all other common shares, for an amount at least one hundred percent (100%) higher than the highest price of the respective shares in the last five hundred and four (504) trading sessions, updated by the rate of the Special System of Settlement and Custody - SELIC. Article 9 - The shareholder or group of shareholders who, directly or indirectly, becomes the holder of shares with voting rights that, together, exceed thirty percent (30%) of the voting capital of Eletrobras and that does not return to a level below such percentage within one hundred and twenty (120) days shall make a public offer for the acquisition of all other shares with voting rights, for an amount at least one hundred percent (100%) higher than the highest price of the common shares in the last five hundred and four (504) trading sessions, updated by the rate of the Special System of Settlement and Custody - SELIC.

Inclusion of PNCs in the Poison Pill (items (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Adjustment of wording to cover all classes of shares with voting rights, including PNCs, in the context of the public tender offer for the acquisition of shares by reaching a relevant interest (poison pill).

 

There is no economic or legal impact resulting from the amendment now proposed.

 


 

Article 10 - The shareholder or group of shareholders who, directly or indirectly, becomes the holder of common shares that, together, exceed fifty percent (50%) of the voting capital of Eletrobras and does not return to a level below such percentage within one hundred and twenty (120) days shall make a public offer for the acquisition of all other common shares, for an amount at least two hundred percent (200%) higher than the highest price of the respective shares in the last five hundred and four (504) trading sessions, updated by the rate of the Special System for Settlement and Custody – SELIC. Article 10 - The shareholder or group of shareholders who, directly or indirectly, becomes the holder of shares with voting rights that, together, exceed fifty percent (50%) of the voting capital of Eletrobras and does not return to a level below such percentage within one hundred and twenty (120) days shall make a public offer for the acquisition of all other shares with voting rights, for an amount at least two hundred percent (200%) higher than the highest price of the common shares in the last five hundred and four (504) trading sessions, updated by the rate of the Special System for Settlement and Custody – SELIC.

Inclusion of PNCs in the Poison Pill (items (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Adjustment of wording to cover all classes of shares with voting rights, including PNCs, in the context of the public tender offer for the acquisition of shares by reaching a relevant interest (poison pill).

 

There is no economic or legal impact resulting from the amendment now proposed.

 


 

Article 11 - The preferred shares cannot be converted into common shares and, in the case of classes "A" and "B", will have priority in reimbursement of capital and distribution of dividends.

 

Article 11 - .The class “A1” and “B1” preferred shares cannot be converted into common shares and will have priority in reimbursement of capital and distribution of dividends. The class “C” preferred shares shall be converted into common shares and/or redeemed, pursuant to paragraphs 7 through 12 of this Article 11, and shall have the rights and obligations set forth in paragraph 7 of this Article 11.

Creation of New Classes of PNA1, PNB1 and PNC Shares (items (a), (b), (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Adjustment of the wording to replace the PNAs and PNBs in PNA1s and PNB1s, respectively, as well as to include the PNCs among the convertible preferred shares, making it clear that only this new class may be converted into common and/or redeemed shares, while PNA1s and PNB1s will not be convertible.

 

See justifications of paragraphs 6 to 13 of the Bylaws.

 


 

No match Article 11 – Paragraph 1 - The direct or indirect transfer of control of the Company shall require the acquirer to carry out a tender offer for the acquisition of shares, addressed in an indistinct and equitable manner to all shareholders holding common shares or class “A1”, “B1”, and “C” preferred shares, so as to ensure them the same treatment afforded to the selling controlling shareholder, including the right to sell all of their shares at the same price and on the same terms and conditions paid per share to the controlling shareholder.

Creation of New Classes of PNA1, PNB1 and PNC Shares (items (a), (b), (d), (g) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of a new paragraph to regulate the right of Common Shares, PNA1s, PNB1s and PNCs to sell their shares in the context of a public tender offer (OPA) resulting from the sale of control, in order to ensure them equal treatment to that given to the seller ( 100% tag along right).

 

Additionally, in line with the best governance practices, the proposal aims to harmonize the treatment given to common and preferred shares regarding the right to tag along, which is why it is proposed to amend article 11 of the Bylaws.

 

It should be noted that the Company is structured in the corporation model with articles that establish Poison Pill rules with the objective of discouraging the concentration of relevant participation of shares in the voting capital. Thus, the effective operationalization of the tag along right would require, first, the activation of the Poison Pill rule and the consequent original acquisition of the power of control.

 


 

Article 11 – Paragraph 1 –The preferred shares of class “A”, which are those subscribed until June 23, 1969, and those resulting from bonuses attributed to them, will have priority in the distribution of dividends, which will be levied at the rate of eight percent per year on the capital belonging to this type and class of shares, to be apportioned equally among them.

 

Article 11 – Paragraph 2 – The preferred shares of class “A1”, resulting from the conversion of class “A” preferred shares, which are those subscribed until June 23, 1969, and those resulting from bonuses attributed to them, will have priority in the distribution of dividends, which will be levied at the rate of eight percent per year on the capital belonging to this type and class of shares, to be apportioned equally among them.

Creation of a New Class of PNA1 Shares (items (a), (e) and (i) of the Agenda): Adjustment of the wording to reflect the creation of the new PNA1 class, resulting from the conversion of the PNAs at a ratio of 1:2, being: 1 PNA1 share and 1 PNR share for every 1 PNA share.

Under this system, all current PNAs shares will be automatically converted after the approval of the creation of the new PNA1s and PNRs share classes, and will be distributed proportionally among all current preferred shareholders, ensuring that each one participates in the conversion in the same proportion as its interest in the original class (PNA).

Article 11 - Paragraph 2 - The preferred shares of class “B”, which are those subscribed as of June 23, 1969, will have priority in the distribution of dividends, which will be levied at the rate of 6% (six percent) per year, on the capital belonging to this type and class of shares, dividends to be apportioned equally among them. Article 11 – Paragraph 3 – The preferred shares of class "B1", resulting from the conversion of class “B” preferred shares which are those subscribed as of June 23, 1969, will have priority in the distribution of dividends, which will be levied at the rate of 6% (six percent) per year, on the capital belonging to this type and class of shares, dividends to be apportioned equally among them.

Creation of a New Class of PNB1 Shares (items (b), (e) and (i) of the Agenda): Adjustment of the wording to reflect the creation of the new PNB1 class, resulting from the conversion of PNBs at a ratio of 1:2, being: 1 PNB1 share and 1 PNR share for every 1 PNB share.

 

In this system, all PNBs will be automatically converted after the approval of the creation of the new PNB1s and PNRs share classes, being distributed proportionally among all current preferred shareholders, ensuring that each one participates in the conversion in the same proportion as its participation in the original class (PNB).

Article 11 – Paragraph 8 – Except for the provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11 below, the class "C" preferred shares shall be automatically converted into common shares, at a ratio of 1:1 (one to one), on a date to be determined by the Board of Directors in each fiscal year between 2026 and 2031, as follows:

I – four percent (4%) of the total volume of class "C" preferred shares originally issued by the company, distributed proportionally among all its holders on the date determined by the Board of Directors, in each of the fiscal years of 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, subject to the provisions of paragraph 9 below;

II – all class "C" preferred shares that may be remaining in the fiscal year of 2031.

Automatic Conversion of PNCs (item (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of a specific paragraph to regulate the automatic conversion of PNCs into common shares, establishing the conversion percentages applicable in each period and the treatment of any remaining shares.

 

The conversion of PNCs into common shares will occur, as a rule, automatically, at a ratio of 1:1 (one PNC to one common share), on dates to be defined by the Board of Directors, once per fiscal year, in the period from 2026 to 2031. In this system, it is foreseen that, in each of the fiscal years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, 4% of the total volume originally issued of PNCs will be automatically converted, distributed proportionally among all holders on the date defined by the Council.

In the 2031 fiscal year, all remaining PNCs will be automatically converted.

 

The proportional distribution of each conversion ensures that all shareholders holding this class participate in the conversion in the same proportion of their interest, considering the base dates set. It is important to note that the Board of Directors may, at any time, increase the volume of shares to be converted in each of the periods from 2026 to 2030, until all PNC shares have been converted into common shares or redeemed, subject to the other redemption triggers provided for in the Bylaws, as per paragraph 8 below.

No correspondence. Article 11 – Paragraph 9 – Notwithstanding paragraph 8 above, the Company’s Board of Directors may, at any time, decide to increase the volume of shares to be converted in each period referred to in paragraph 6, item I above, until all such shares have been converted or redeemed.

Automatic Conversion of PNCs (item (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of a specific paragraph to give the Board of Directors the power to, at any time, increase the volume of shares to be converted in each of the periods from 2026 to 2030, until all the PNCs have been converted or redeemed, respecting the other redemption triggers provided for in the Bylaws.

Article 11 – Paragraph 10 – The Company’s Board of Directors may, at any time, resolve on the compulsory redemption of any amount of class “C” preferred shares, at a price per share equivalent to the closing trading price of the Company’s common shares on the trading session immediately prior to the date of the board resolution approving the relevant redemption. In such case:

I.        the implementation of such redemption shall not depend on any decision by the shareholders, whether in a general shareholders’ meeting or in a special meeting of preferred shareholders, and may be resolved solely by the Board of Directors;

II.        the amount of shares redeemed in this manner shall proportionally reduce the minimum amount of shares to be converted in the relevant fiscal year, pursuant to paragraph 6, item I above, without prejudice to the possibility set forth in paragraph 9 above;

III.        any holder of class “C” preferred shares may, under the terms and procedures to be defined by the Board of Directors, express its intention to, instead of the redemption set forth in this paragraph 10, opt for the conversion into common shares, in whole or in part, of the class “C” preferred shares that would otherwise be subject to such redemption;

IV.        the resolution of the Board of Directors regarding the redemption of class “C” preferred shares shall indicate the payment date of the respective redemption amount; and

V.        subject to item III above, the partial redemption shall occur on a pro rata basis, in relation to the holdings of class “C” preferred shares of all shareholders on the record date to be defined by the Board of Directors, disregarding fractions of shares.

Compulsory Redemption of PNCs (item (d) and (i) of the Agenda): In order to preserve shareholder dispersion and the limit of vote concentration, Management proposes the inclusion of a specific paragraph to regulate the hypothesis of compulsory redemption of PNCs, to be resolved by the Board of Directors.

Regardless of the regular conversion schedule, the Board of Directors may decide, at any time, to redeem any volume of PNCs. The redemption value per share will correspond to the closing price of the Company's common shares in the trading session immediately prior to the date of the redemption resolution.

 

The provision clarifies that: (i) the redemption may be approved directly by the Board of Directors, without the need for deliberation at a general meeting or special meeting of preferred shareholders; (ii) the holders of PNCs will be guaranteed the right to opt for conversion into common shares within the applicable statutory period; (iii) the volume of PNCs redeemed will be deducted from the amount foreseen for conversion in the respective fiscal year; (iv) the resolution of the Board of Directors shall indicate the date of payment of the redemption amount; and (v) the partial redemption will be carried out on a pro rata basis, in relation to the interests in PNCs held by all shareholders on the base date, discounting fractions.

 

The adoption of proportional partial redemption, instead of the draw provided for in the LSA, simplifies execution, eliminates randomness and ensures equal and isonomic treatment, as it covers all shareholders indistinctly.

 


 

No match Article 11 – Paragraph 11 – Subject to paragraph 12 below, if any shareholder or group of shareholders (as defined in Article 8 of this Bylaws) holding class “C” preferred shares comes to hold, at any time — considering both common shares and class “C” preferred shares held by such shareholder or group — an interest exceeding 15% (fifteen percent) of the total number of voting shares outstanding issued by the Company, the number of class “C” preferred shares exceeding such limit shall be compulsorily and automatically redeemed by the Company, regardless of any resolution of the Board of Directors, pursuant to paragraph 10 above, and the provisions of items III to V of such paragraph 10 shall not apply.

Compulsory and Automatic Redemption of PNCs (item (d) and (i) of the Agenda): In order to preserve the shareholder dispersion with voting rights, in line with the corporation model that guided the Company's capitalization process in 2022, Management proposes the inclusion of a specific paragraph to regulate the hypothesis of compulsory and automatic redemption of PNCs to be carried out directly by the Company, regardless of the resolution of the Board of Directors, if a shareholder or group of shareholders, pursuant to Article 8 of the Bylaws, holding PNCs, holds, at any time, a stake of more than 15% of the total number of outstanding voting shares issued by the Company, at each act of conversion/redemption, the corresponding portion of its PNCs that exceeds the referred limit will no longer be converted into common shares and will be compulsorily and automatically redeemed by the Company, according to the same value criterion applicable to the redemption decided by the Board (closing price of the common share price in the immediately preceding trading session).

 

In this specific case, the holder's option to opt for conversion in substitution of redemption does not apply, nor does the pro-rata treatment of partial redemption apply, since it is an automatic redemption of excess in relation to the individual limit of 15%.

 


 

 

No match Article 11 – Paragraph 12 – With respect to any shareholder or group of shareholders (as defined in Article 8 of this Bylaws) that already holds an interest exceeding 15% (fifteen percent) of the total number of common shares outstanding on the date of issuance of the class “C” preferred shares (“Original Common Shareholding”), the class “C” preferred shares held by such shareholder or group that would result in an increase of its interest in the voting shares outstanding issued by the Company beyond its Original Common Shareholding may not be held by such shareholder or group, so that its interest in the voting shares outstanding issued by the Company, after the receipt of the class “C” preferred shares, remains equal to or lower than its Original Common Shareholding. In such case, the portion of class “C” preferred shares held by such shareholder or group that exceeds its Original Common Shareholding shall be compulsorily redeemed by the Company, pursuant to paragraph 10 above, and the provisions of items III to V of such paragraph 10 and of paragraph 11 above shall not apply, and such redemption shall not depend on any resolution of the Board of Directors.

Compulsory and Automatic Redemption of PNCs (item (d) and (i) of the Agenda): In order to preserve the shareholder dispersion with voting rights, in line with the corporation model that guided the Company's capitalization process in 2022, Management proposes the inclusion of a specific paragraph to regulate the second hypothesis of compulsory and automatic redemption of PNCs to be carried out directly by the Company, regardless of the resolution of the Board of Directors.

 

In relation to shareholders or groups of shareholders who, on the date of issuance of the PNCs, already hold a stake of more than 15% of the total number of outstanding common shares, a reference level called Original Interest in Common Shares is defined (i.e., the percentage of interest that the shareholder or group of shareholders held, on the date of issuance of the PNCs). on the total number of outstanding common shares issued by the Company on that same date).

 

For this universe of shareholders, their PNCs may not be converted into common shares if the conversion entails an increase in their common interest beyond the proportion established in the Original Common Interest. On each schedule conversion date or in additional deliberate conversions, only the number of PNCs that does not exceed the proportion of the Original Common Interest may be converted; The excess portion will be, on the same date, compulsorily redeemed, according to the same value criterion described above. In this case, the redemption of the surplus occurs automatically, without deliberation by the Board, and the holder's option for conversion in substitution of redemption does not apply.

 


 

No correspondence. Article 11 – Paragraph 13 - Any shareholder or group of shareholders (as defined in Article 8 of this Bylaws) holding class “C” preferred shares shall notify the Company upon reaching an interest exceeding 15% (fifteen percent) of the total number of voting shares outstanding issued by the Company, within 1 (one) business day from the date such threshold is reached. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, request information from its shareholders for the purposes of verifying whether such threshold has been met.

Duty to Inform Achievement of Interest Greater than 15% (item (d) and (i) of the Agenda): Considering the hypotheses of compulsory and automatic redemptions provided for in paragraphs 10 and 11 above, Management proposes the inclusion of a specific paragraph to establish the duty of the shareholder or group of shareholders holding PNCs, to notify the Company of the achievement of a stake greater than 15% of the total outstanding voting shares of issued by the Company. The Company also has the right to request the information necessary to verify the achievement of this limit.

Creation of a New Class of PNR Shares (items (c), (f) and (i) of the Agenda): Inclusion of a new paragraph intended to regulate the rights and advantages applicable to PNRs, establishing their specific characteristics in accordance with article 19 of the LSA.

 

The PNRs will have the following general characteristics:

SCHEDULE 3

Information on Class "A1" Preferred Shares, Class "B1" Preferred Shares, Class "R" Preferred Shares and Class "C" Preferred Shares
(Schedule F of RCVM 81).

1.                If there is the creation of preferred shares or a new class of preferred shares:

 

a.                To substantiate, in detail, the proposal for the creation of the shares

In light of macroeconomic conditions and its strategic planning, the Company has been evaluating alternatives to maximize the creation of sustainable value for its shareholders, in a balanced and transparent manner and in line with best corporate governance practices, always considering the preservation of its investment capacity and its economic-financial soundness, consistent with a responsible and efficient approach to capital allocation and cash management.

In accordance with the Material Fact disclosed by the Company on this date, the proposal aims to allow the distribution of part or all of the Company’s profit reserves, which, as of September 30, 2025, amounted to R$39.9 billion.

The measure described herein consists of amending the Bylaws so that the Board of Directors is authorized and empowered to decide on the capitalization of the Company’s reserves through the issuance of bonus shares, in the form of a new class of preferred shares (the PNCs), to be granted free of charge to all shareholders in proportion to their respective ownership in the Company’s share capital (“Bonus Issue”).

Considering the specific features of the Bonus Issue, the Company has also evaluated alternatives to enable the payment, to the current holders of PNA and PNB preferred shares, of an additional cash amount, equivalent to 10% more than the value to be attributed to each share under the Bonus Issue, so as to replicate the same economic effect as the payment of increased dividends on PNA and PNB shares, pursuant to Article 11, paragraph 5 of the Bylaws (“Redemption Amount”).

To that end, management has structured a corporate transaction that involves the mandatory conversion of the currently outstanding PNA and PNB preferred shares, whereby each such share will be replaced by: (i) one new preferred share of class “A1” (“PNA1”) or class “B1” (“PNB1”), respectively; and (ii) one new preferred share of class “R”, which shall be immediately redeemed following its issuance, upon payment of the Redemption Amount (“PNR”).

 


The PNA1 and PNB1 shares will carry the same rights currently granted to PNA and PNB shares under the Bylaws, with the additional right to participate, on equal terms with the seller, in any tender offer resulting from a change of control (100% tag-along right). If approved at the Shareholders’ Meeting, this right will also be extended to the common shares and to the PNC shares.

As disclosed in the Material Fact released on this date, the Company has resumed studies with the aim of migrating, in 2026, to B3’s Novo Mercado listing segment. Accordingly, and consistent with the premise of keeping PNC shares structurally closer to the common shares - including by granting voting rights to ensure adherence to the “one share, one vote” principle - the introduction of the 100% tag-along right is also being proposed.

The Board of Directors will, in due course, resolve on a proposal to capitalize reserves under the authorized capital mechanism, for purposes of issuing and granting PNC shares free of charge to shareholders, as well as determine the Redemption Amount, in accordance with the parameters to be set forth in the Bylaws.

b.                To describe, in detail, the rights, advantages and restrictions to be attributed to the shares to be created, in particular: (i) increased dividends in relation to the common shares; (ii) fixed or minimum dividends; (iii) any cumulative nature of the dividends; (iv) the right to participate in remaining profits; (v) the right to receive dividends charged to the capital reserve; (vi) priority in capital reimbursement; (vii) premium in capital reimbursement; (viii) voting rights; (ix) the statutory right to elect members of the board of directors in a separate vote; (x) the right to be included in the tender offer upon transfer of control provided for in Article 254-A of Law No. 6,404, of 1976; (xi) veto rights with respect to amendments to the bylaws; (xii) redemption terms and conditions; and (xiii) amortization terms and conditions.

 

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PNA1, PNB1 and PNR

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PNA1, PNB1 AND PNR

o PNA1

The PNA1 shares will have the same general rights and characteristics as the current PNA shares, namely:

· the absence of voting rights, not granting any political rights other than those mandatorily ensured by law to preferred shares
 


· equal treatment with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share) in the distribution of dividends and other Company proceeds, it being noted that PNA1 shares will be entitled to the lower of the minimum dividends set forth in paragraph 1 and subject to paragraph 5 of Article 11 of the Bylaws;
· priority in capital reimbursement;
· priority in dividend distribution, at the rate of 8% (eight percent) per year over the capital represented by such class and type of shares, to be distributed equally among them; and
· the right to receive dividends, per share, at least 10% (ten percent) higher than those attributed to each common share.

 

· PNB1

The PNB1 shares will have the same general rights and characteristics as the current PNB shares, namely:

· the absence of voting rights, not granting any political rights other than those mandatorily ensured by law to preferred shares;
· priority in capital reimbursement;
· priority in dividend distribution, at the rate of 6% (six percent) per year over the capital represented by such class and type of shares, to be distributed equally among them;
· equal treatment with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share) in the distribution of dividends and other Company proceeds, it being noted that PNB1 shares will be entitled to the lower of the minimum dividends set forth in paragraph 2 and subject to paragraph 5 of Article 11 of the Bylaws; and
· the right to receive dividends, per share, at least 10% (ten percent) higher than those attributed to each common share.

In addition to the characteristics described above, holders of PNA1 and PNB1 shares shall have the right to sell their shares in a public tender offer triggered by a sale of control (OPA), in order to ensure equal treatment to that afforded to the selling controlling shareholder (100% tag-along right).

 

 


o PNR

The PNR shares will have the following general characteristics:

· the absence of voting rights, not granting any political rights other than those mandatorily ensured by law to preferred shares;
· priority in capital reimbursement;
· they shall not be entitled to participate in any public tender offer triggered by a sale of control;
· automatic and compulsory redemption of all PNR shares immediately after the Conversions, without the need for approval at a special meeting of preferred shareholders. The terms, conditions, timing and method of calculating the redemption amount shall be established by the Board of Directors, in accordance with the Bylaws;
· a strictly temporary and exceptional nature, solely for the benefit of all preferred shareholders; and
· automatic extinguishment of all PNR shares following the redemption of all such shares.

AUTOMATIC CONVERSION INTO PNA1, PNB1 AND PNR SHARES

The conversion of PNA and PNB shares into PNA1, PNB1 and PNR shares, as applicable, shall occur automatically, at a 1:2 ratio, as follows:

(i) for each 1 (one) PNA share, 1 (one) PNA1 share and 1 (one) PNR share;
(ii) for each 1 (one) PNB share, 1 (one) PNB1 share and 1 (one) PNR share.

Under this structure, all PNA and PNB shares will be automatically converted following the approval of the creation of the new PNA1, PNB1 and PNR share classes, and will be allocated proportionally among all current preferred shareholders, ensuring that each participates in the conversion in proportion to their existing holdings in the original classes.

REDEMPTION OF ALL PNR SHARES

Immediately after the approval of the Conversions at the Shareholders’ Meeting, and as will be approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting to be convened in due course, all PNR shares shall be redeemed in full, compulsorily and automatically by the Company, with shareholders receiving payment of the applicable redemption amount per share, to be calculated objectively and determinably in accordance with the following formula:

 


VRPNR = (VC / TA) × 10%

where:

VC = the total amount to be capitalized through the bonus issue of PNC shares, as approved by the Board of Directors at the meeting that authorizes the capitalization of profits and the issuance of PNC shares;

TA = the total number of shares issued by the Company on the calculation date, including treasury shares and excluding PNR shares; and

VRPNR = Redemption Amount per PNR share, calculated to 13 decimal places.

 

Payment of the redemption amount shall be made in Brazilian currency, in a single installment, within the period to be established by the Board of Directors, subject to the Brazilian Corporations Law (LSA) and the Bylaws.

Once the redemption is approved - even if payment of the full redemption amount has not yet been completed - the PNR class shall be automatically extinguished, without the need for approval at a special meeting of preferred shareholders.

The purpose of the redemption of PNR shares is to ensure, in light of the specific context and mechanics of the Bonus Issue described in item 2.3.2 below, the same economic treatment currently afforded to holders of PNA and PNB shares, enabling the payment of the additional amount to which preferred shareholders would be entitled if the Company were distributing dividends, pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 11 of the Bylaws. Accordingly, the redemption amount corresponds to the additional 10% provided in favor of preferred shareholders in the event of dividend distributions.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PNCS

The PNCs will have the general characteristics summarized below and detailed in the consolidated version of the Bylaws, as set forth in Annexes 1, 2.1 and 2.2 to this Proposal

· equal treatment with common shares and the special class preferred share (golden share) in the distribution of dividends and other shareholder distributions by the Company;

· possibility of redemption of PNCs by resolution of the Board of Directors, without the need for approval at a general meeting or a special meeting of preferred shareholders, while ensuring that holders of PNCs may elect to convert, into common shares, their proportionate share of PNCs otherwise subject to redemption, within the period and on the terms established by the Board of Directors and duly disclosed by the Company, it being understood that the volume of PNCs effectively redeemed shall reduce, in the same proportion, the minimum annual volume of PNCs to be converted in the relevant year;
· conversion limits based on ownership concentration for shareholders who exceed 15% following the issuance of the PNCs: The conversion of class C preferred shares into common shares shall be subject to an individual limit of 15% of the outstanding voting share capital. If, on any conversion date, a shareholder or group of shareholders (as defined in Article 8 of the Bylaws) reaches or exceeds such percentage, only the number of Class C preferred shares necessary for such shareholder to hold, at most, 15% shall be converted, and all excess shares shall be compulsorily and automatically redeemed, applying the same redemption value criteria applicable to redemptions approved by the Board;
· conversion limits based on ownership concentration for shareholders already holding more than 15% on the issuance date of the PNCs: For shareholders or groups of shareholders who, on the issuance date of the Class C preferred shares, already hold more than 15% of the outstanding common shares, the individual conversion limit shall correspond to their Original Common Shareholding, defined as the percentage of common shares held on that date. Thus, on each conversion date, only the amount of class C preferred shares compatible with maintaining such Original Common Shareholding shall be converted, and any excess shall be compulsorily and automatically redeemed, applying the same redemption value criteria used for redemptions approved by the Board;

SCHEDULED AUTOMATIC CONVERSION

The conversion of class “C” preferred shares into common shares shall generally occur automatically, at a ratio of 1:1 (one class C preferred share for one common share), on dates to be defined by the Board of Directors, once per fiscal year, during the period from 2026 to 2031. Under this structure, in each of the fiscal years 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030, 4% of the total volume of class “C” preferred shares originally issued shall be automatically converted, distributed proportionally among all holders on the record date defined by the Board.

In the 2031 fiscal year, all remaining class “C” preferred shares shall be automatically converted.

The proportional distribution applied at each conversion ensures that all shareholders holding this class participate in the conversion in the same proportion as their ownership, considering the applicable record dates. It should be noted that the Board of Directors may, at any time, increase the volume of shares to be converted in any of the periods from 2026 to 2030, until the totality of the class “C” preferred shares has been converted into common shares or redeemed, subject to the other redemption triggers provided for in the Bylaws.

 


SCHEDULE OF AUTOMATIC AND SCHEDULED CONVERSION OF PNC SHARES INTO ON SHARES

Year Volume of PNCs in circulation Minimum conversion volume
2025 total PNCs (date of issue) -
2026 96% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2027 92% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2028 88% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2029 84% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2030 80% of PNCs 4% of PNCs
2031 - 80% of PNCs

 

REDEMPTION BY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Independently of the scheduled conversion timeline, the Board of Directors may, at any time, resolve to redeem any volume of class “C” preferred shares. The redemption value per share shall correspond to the closing trading price of the Company’s common shares on the trading session immediately preceding the date of the redemption resolution.

Such redemption may be approved solely by the Board of Directors, without the need for approval at a general meeting or a special meeting of preferred shareholders. The Board’s resolution shall specify the redemption payment date. The redemption carried out in a given fiscal year shall proportionally reduce the minimum volume of shares to be converted in that year under the 4% rule set forth in the schedule; however, the Board shall retain the discretion to increase the conversion volume, as previously noted.

In the context of a redemption approved by the Board of Directors, each holder may elect, within the form and timeframe defined by the Board, to voluntarily convert (in whole or in part) the class “C” preferred shares that would otherwise be redeemed, in substitution for such redemption.

If the redemption is partial in relation to the total outstanding class “C” preferred shares, it shall occur on a pro rata basis among all holders, based on their positions on the record date established by the Board of Directors, with fractional shares disregarded. The adoption of a proportional partial redemption - rather than the drawing of lots provided for under the Brazilian Corporations Law - simplifies execution, eliminates randomness, and ensures equitable and non-discriminatory treatment, as it applies uniformly to all shareholders.

 


LIMIT ON CONVERSION AND AUTOMATIC AND COMPULSORY REDEMPTION DUE TO THE EXCEEDING OF CAPITAL CONCENTRATION LIMITS INVOLVING SHARES WITH VOTING RIGHTS

There are two additional cases of automatic and mandatory redemption, not dependent on any resolution of the Board of Directors, each designed to preserve the dispersion of voting shares, consistent with the corporation-style ownership structure that guided the Company’s capitalization process in 2022:

(i) If a shareholder or a group of shareholders, within the meaning of Article 8 of the Bylaws, holding Class C preferred shares, at any time comes to hold more than 15% of the total number of outstanding voting shares issued by the Company, then, at each conversion/redemption event, the portion of such holder’s Class C preferred shares that exceeds the 15% threshold shall not be converted into common shares and shall instead be compulsorily and automatically redeemed by the Company, using the same redemption-value criteria applicable to redemptions approved by the Board of Directors (i.e., the closing trading price of the Company’s common shares on the trading session immediately preceding the redemption resolution). In this specific scenario, (a) the holder may not exercise the option to convert in lieu of redemption, and (b) pro rata treatment does not apply, as the redemption exclusively targets the excess above the individual 15% concentration limit.

 

(ii) With respect to shareholders or groups of shareholders who, on the date of issuance of the Class C preferred shares, already hold more than 15% of the total number of outstanding common shares, an individual reference threshold is defined, referred to as the Original Common Shareholding Threshold. “Original Common Shareholding Threshold” means the percentage of outstanding common shares held by such shareholder or group of shareholders on the issuance date of the Class C preferred shares. For this subset of shareholders, their Class C preferred shares may not be converted into common shares if such conversion would increase their ownership of outstanding common shares beyond the Original Common Shareholding Threshold. Accordingly, at each scheduled conversion date or any additional conversion approved by the Board, only the number of Class C preferred shares consistent with maintaining such holder’s proportion at or below the Original Common Shareholding Threshold shall be converted. Any shares in excess of that proportion shall be automatically redeemed, on the same date, using the same redemption-value criteria described above. In this scenario, the redemption of the excess also occurs automatically, without the need for any Board resolution, and the holder cannot elect conversion in lieu of redemption.
 


In addition, because voting rights will be attributed to the class “C” preferred shares, the administration has proposed wording adjustments to Articles 9 and 10 of the Bylaws, so that the rules governing the public tender offer triggered upon the attainment of a relevant shareholding threshold (“Poison Pill”) encompass all voting shares issued by the Company, and not only the common shares.

The creation of the class “C” preferred shares does not require approval by the holders of class “A” or class “B” preferred shares at a special meeting, nor does it give rise to withdrawal rights, since no species or class of shares is adversely affected. The Class C preferred shares will be issued in the context of the Bonus Share Distribution, covering equally all outstanding common and preferred shares (classes “A” and “B”) issued by the Company. For more details on the subject, see paragraph (c) below.

c.                Provide a detailed analysis of the impact of the creation of the shares on the rights of holders of other types and classes of shares of the Company.

 

PNA1 and PNB1:

The conversions of PNAs and PNBs into PNA1 and PNB1 do not generate any economic or political impact to the holders of preferred or common shares. The new classes remain non-voting, preserving the current logic of the Bylaws. The change also does not alter the preferences, advantages, or redemption conditions of the original preferred shares (PNA and PNB), which is why the creation of these classes of preferred shares does not constitute a case requiring a special meeting or appraisal rights, pursuant to Articles 136 and 137 of the Brazilian Corporations Law.

 


The tag-along rights that will be granted to PNA1 and PNB1 shares will also be granted to PNC shares and common shares, to harmonize the right granted to holders of common and preferred shares of the Company (except for PNR shares, which will be immediately redeemed following the Conversions). Therefore, this adjustment does not adversely affect holders of common shares or other holders of preferred shares, as it does not reduce existing rights nor constitute an adverse change in equity.

 

PNR:

The PNRs are strictly temporary and instrumental in nature, and are created solely to allow current holders of PNA and PNB shares to receive the economic benefit equivalent to the 10% higher dividend provided in Article 11 of the Bylaws. In this sense, the PNRs:

· they do not have the right to vote;
· they are issued only to allow the economic equalization resulting from the Bonus Issue;
· will be automatically and fully redeemed immediately after Conversions;
· will be extinguished as soon as the total redemption is completed.

The redemption of PNRs will be carried out in cash, with an objective and determinable amount according to the formula set forth in the Bylaws. The payment does not alter the shareholder base, does not result in dilution, and does not result in any loss to the other classes, since it does not involve the issuance of additional shares.

For this reason, the creation and redemption of PNRs do not trigger a withdrawal right and do not require a special meeting, as no type or class is adversely affected. The transaction is neutral for holders of common shares and fully preserves the economic relationship of the preferred classes.

PNCs:

Issuance exclusively by subsidies, proportional to the entire shareholder base

The PNCs will be issued exclusively in the context of a bonus in shares, resulting from the capitalization of reserves, and delivered free of charge and in a proportional manner to all shareholders, regardless of the type or class of shares held.

 


Thus, all shareholders holding common shares, PNAs and PNBs – will receive the same proportion of bonus shares, maintaining:

·          the equality between shareholders; and

·          the same structure of relative participation in the capital stock; and

·          the same proportion of economic rights before and after the bonus.

Strictly transitory nature of PNCs

The PNCs:

·          will be fully converted or redeemed by 2031 (or earlier);

·          they will not remain as a permanent class in the capital stock;

·          they do not change the governance structure in the long run.

The transitory character prevents the creation of any permanent dynamic of competition between classes.

The creation of the PNCs does not change the balance between classes provided for in the Bylaws

· The PNC:
· it does not create increased dividends;
· it does not establish a minimum right;
· it does not have cumulativeness; and
· does not change reimbursement priorities.

In view of the above, the creation of PNCs does not require the approval of the holders of PNA and PNB shares at a special meeting, nor will it give rise to a right of withdrawal, since there will be no type or class of share affected.

 

 


2.                In the event of changes to the preferences, advantages, or conditions for redemption or amortization of preferred shares: (a) describe, in detail, the proposed changes; (b) substantiate, in detail, the proposed changes; (c) provide a detailed analysis of the impact of the proposed changes on the holders of the shares subject to the change; and (d) provide a detailed analysis of the impact of the proposed changes on the rights of the holders of other types and classes of shares of the company.

 

Not applicable to the present case.
