MATERIAL FACT
Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – Sabesp (“Sabesp”) and EMAE – Empresa Metropolitana de Águas e Energia S.A. (“EMAE” and, together with Sabesp, the
“Companies”), in compliance with the provisions of Brazilian Securities Commission (“CVM”) Resolution No. 44, dated August 23, 2021, as amended, hereby inform their shareholders and the market in general that their respective managements will assess the feasibility of the incorporation, by Sabesp, of all shares issued by EMAE not already held by Sabesp, pursuant to Article 252 of Brazilian Law No. 6,404, dated December 15, 1976, as amended (“Share Incorporation”).
The feasibility study of the Share Incorporation will include the identification of the authorizations, conditions, and procedures required for its implementation, as well as the establishment of independent committees to negotiate the exchange ratio, in accordance with CVM Guidance Opinion No. 35, dated September 1, 2008.
If the Share Incorporation is effectively approved by the Companies’ management bodies and their shareholders, EMAE will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sabesp, and EMAE’s shareholders will receive, in exchange, shares issued by Sabesp, in accordance with the exchange ratio to be negotiated by the aforementioned independent committees.
The proposed Share Incorporation aims to simplify and optimize the Companies’ corporate structure by consolidating their shareholder bases into a single company and reducing operating costs.
The Companies will keep their shareholders and the market in general duly informed of any developments regarding the Share Incorporation, in accordance with applicable law.
