Pursuant to paragraph one of article 126 of the Brazilian Corporations Law and the decision of I. the CVM Board in CVM case RJ-2014/3578, on November 4, 2014, a shareholder may be represented at the general meeting: (i) if an individual, by a proxy appointed less than 1 (one) year ago (which is a shareholder, manager of the Company or lawyer duly registered under the Brazilian Bar Association); (ii) if a legal entity, by its legal representatives or by a proxy appointed in accordance with its corporate documents and in accordance with the Brazilian Civil Code; and (iii) if an investment fund, by its administrator and/or manager, or by a proxy appointed in accordance with its corporate documents and in accordance with the Brazilian Civil Code rules.

 

 

 


 
 

Subject to the procedures set forth in CVM Instruction 481, of December 17, 2009, as amended ("CVM Instruction 481"), in the Company's Reference Form and the instructions contained in the Management Proposal for the General Meeting hereby called, the shareholder may exercise the voting right by means of the completion and delivery of the Remote Voting Ballot (“Voting Ballot”) made available by the Company on the Company's websites (www.eletrobras.com/ir) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM website (www.cvm.gov.br) and the B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) website (www.b3.com.br).

 

The Shareholder or its legal representative, in order to ensure admission to the General Meeting, pursuant to article 5 of CVM Instruction 481, shall submit the following documents:

 

·      Official ID card with photo;

 

·      The latest corporate document (bylaws or articles of association), in the case of a legal entity;

 

·      Power of attorney granted by shareholder;

 

Considering the situation that has been reported about the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic in Brazil, mainly due to the currently existing restrictions on the circulation and gathering of people, the meeting will be held exclusively in digital manner, which is why the shareholder participation can only be:

 

(a) through Voting Ballot, with detailed instructions on the documentation required for remote voting are contained in the Ballot that can be accessed on the websites mentioned above; and

 

(b) through the Digital Platform, in person or by a proxy duly constituted under the terms of article 21-C, §§2 and 3 of IN CVM 481, in which case the shareholder may: (i) simply participate in the AGOE, whether or not he has sent the Voting Ballot; or (ii) participate and vote in the AGOE, noting that as for the shareholder who has already sent the Voting Ballot and that, if he wishes, votes in the Meeting by the Digital Platform, all voting instructions received through the Voting Ballot will be disregarded.

 

Shareholders wishing to participate in the AGOE via the Digital Platform must access the Company's website, at http://www.eletrobras.com/AssembleiaVirtual and complete its registration, and after confirming the registration and receiving the registration password, attach all documents required to qualify for participation and/or vote in the AGOE, at least 2 (two) days in advance of the date designated for the AGOE, that is, until July 27, 2020. The following documents shareholders will be required to qualify and participate and/or vote in the AGOE via the Digital Platform: (a) if a natural person, copy of the identification document, legally recognized as such, with a recent photo and national validity, within the validity period, if applicable, or, in the case of being represented by an attorney, a copy of the power of attorney signed with less than 1 (one) year, together with the official identity document with photo of the attorney, and such attorney must be another shareholder or lawyer regularly registered with the Brazilian Lawyers Association; or (b) if a legal entity, (i) updated constitutive acts of the shareholder and the act that invests the representative (s) with sufficient powers for representation within the AGOE, duly registered with the competent bodies, together with the official document photo ID of the representative(s); (ii) if necessary, a power of attorney duly granted under the terms of the law and/or the constituent acts of the shareholder, together with the official identity document with a photo of the attorney.

 

 

 


 
 

After sending all supporting documents, the shareholder or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, will receive an invitation with an individual password to access the Digital Platform. Pursuant to article 5, paragraph 3 of CVM Instruction 481, access to the Digital Platform will not be allowed to shareholders who do not present the necessary participation documents within the term provided herein and as detailed in the Management Proposal.

 

The Company clarifies that, exceptionally for this AGOE, it will dispense the need to send the physical copies of the shareholder representation documents to its office, as well as the signature of the grantor in the power of attorney to represent the shareholder, notarization, consularization, the apostille and sworn translation of all documents representing the foreign shareholder, simply sending a simple copy of the original copies of such documents through the website mentioned above. The Company will only admit power of attorneys granted by shareholders by electronic means containing digital certification that is within the standards of the Brazilian Public Key Infrastructure or by other means of proving the authorship and integrity of the document in electronic form.

 

Detailed information on the rules and procedures for participation and/or remote voting in the AGOE, including guidelines for sending the Remote Voting Bulletin, are contained in the Management Proposal available on the CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and Company (www.eletrobras.com/ri). Guidelines on access to the Digital Platform and rules of conduct to be adopted at the AGOE will be sent to each shareholder together with an invitation with an individual password to access the Digital Platform.

 

The Company's decision to hold the AGOE exclusively digital, pursuant to article 4, paragraph 2, item I and article 21-C, paragraph 2 and 3 of ICVM 481, was due to the extraordinary context that the country is going through and the rest of the world, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the transit of people is being limited by the competent authorities and which, including the opening of airspace and transit through airports, is one of the aspects of greatest instability. Thus, the realization of AGOE exclusively digitally reduces the need for air travel and the health risk of all AGOE participants, facilitating the participation of shareholders and others involved in the realization of AGOE. Through this decision, the Company reiterates its commitment to the adoption of measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 and to the safety of its shareholders and employees and the communities in the regions where it operates.

 

The resolutions at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting shall be passed by a majority of votes, and each shareholder's vote shall be proportional to its shareholding in the Company's share capital.

 

The shareholders shall have access, at the Company websites (www.eletrobras.com/ir), Brazillinan Securities Commission - CVM (www.cvm.gov.br) and B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (www.b3.com.br), to the entire documentation related to the business which shall be addressed at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting, under the terms of the Brazilian Corporations Law CVM Instruction 481.

 

 

Brasília, June 25, 2020.
